COMMENDATION TO HONOR SANDY CHASE FOR HER YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE CITY OF EDMONDS Council President Johnson read a commendation honoring Sandy Chase for her years of service to the City. She said Ms. Chase has been a wonderful friend to the City and to her. The Council is choosing this time to officially recognize all Ms. Chase has done for the City. On behalf of the City Council, she commended Ms. Chase for faithful service to the City, noting her honorable commitment to the City acts as an exemplar to all civil servants and for that the Council and citizens owe her the utmost respect and gratitude. Ms. Chase has been and continues to be a dedicated servant for the people of Edmonds, serving as the City Clerk for over two decades and returning to assist when her services are needed. She has repeatedly gone beyond the call of her duties and for that the Council is grateful. Council President Johnson presented Ms. Chase with a card and a token of appreciation. Ms. Chase thanked the Council for the commendation, commenting she was honored and speechless to receive this recognition. Following a brief recess for a reception to recognize Ms. Chase for her service, Council President Johnson introduced and welcomed Legislative/Executive Assistant Andrew Price and described his background which included serving in the Navy, receiving a Bachelor's degree in Political Science from University of California -Berkley, attending law school at the University of Mexico and working at a law firm in Seattle. Mr. Price said other than his experience with government in the Navy, this is his first opportunity to work Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes June 21, 2016 Page 2 Packet Pg. 5 4.1.a closely with policy. He is extremely excited, grateful and looks forward to adding value to the City and the Council. 6. AUDIENCE COMMENTS Wendy Kendall, Edmonds, asked for the Council's advice and help with regard to an irresponsible property owner, Breva Condominiums and Windermere Property Management Northwest. She expressed concern with a line of 100-foot tall, overgrown fir trees on their side of fence, planted 7 feet center to center, adjacent to her backyard. The City's planning departments states that is a violation of the 20-foot regulation but they cannot act due to the age of the trees. The six trees are unstable as documented by the owner of See's Trees who is employed by Windermere Property Management. During windstorms the trees bend to near breaking point. After lengthy research she was unable to determine the ownership of Greva Condominiums but learned Windermere Property Management works for Greva Condominiums. Windermere indicated they will not do anything until the trees damage her home. She relayed during windstorms branches from the 1'/2 story trees break off and slam against her house. She asked what recourse she had against an irresponsible neighbor and wanted something done to prevent a tragedy. Mike Shaw, Edmonds, spoke regarding the oil train resolution, relaying other Washington cities such as Olympia, Seattle, Washougal and Spokane are passing resolutions banning the transportation of fossil fuels, especially oil, through their communities via train. Edmonds desperately needs such a measure as well. Only through good fortune did Mosier, Oregon, not suffer an explosion from the oil train derailment which is always a possibility with any oil train derailment. Edmonds would suffer great damage from such an explosion, likely including extensive loss of life. Civic leaders need to stand tall and do the right and conscionable thing on this issue; the easiest thing is to bow down to BNSF and the oil companies while they enjoy the profits from their enterprises and suffer almost none of the risk but will not help rebuild Edmonds or restore lost life in the event of an oil train catastrophe. He requested Edmonds leaders, with vision and courage, introduce and pass a resolution banning the transportation of fossil fuel through Edmonds, with specific attention to the banning of any further Bakken oil trains. Dennis Lowenthal, Edmonds, recalled a community meeting in September 2015 attended by approximately 135 people where a Fire District 1 assistant chief said when an oil train explosion occurs, they can evacuate the living but must wait for the fire to burn itself out because it is too dangerous to approach. He commented on the difficulty to prepare for an oil train explosion when it was unknown where or when it would occur and he feared the devastation it would cause in Edmonds. He acknowledged the BNSF maintenance crews do a diligent and careful job, but history demonstrates accident or failures that cause derailments cannot be stopped. There have already been over 10 derailments, explosions and fires in the United States, people evacuated from their homes, waterways polluted, fires burning for days, a Canadian town destroyed with 47 people incinerated. He questioned how anyone could believe their lives and property were safe with this record regardless of how well prepared the City was. The Mosier train fire was a wakeup call about what coming for the Pacific Northwest. The risk increases with the advent of 10-20 more explosive oil trains per day if proposed refinery expansions are approved. He pointed out the railroad would not pay for the cost of an explosion; the City would be left with the bankrupting cost. The US Department of Transportation can stop this threat to the community's security. He read the USDOT's mission statement, and questioned how it was possible demonstrated explosive oil train were allowed to travel across land, transporting life threatening and climate changing explosive Bakken crude. A diversion tactic has been safer tanker cars but the timeline for their use is 48 years and they have failed in explosive derailment accidents in the US. It was the Council's responsibility to join this grassroots movement and approve a resolution to ban these trains from Edmonds. The Council's first priority is the safety of Edmonds citizens' lives and property and financial security from oil train explosions. Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes June 21, 2016 Page 3 Packet Pg. 6 4.1.a Victoria Leistman, Edmonds, an organizer with Sierra Club, asked the Council to consider passing a resolution on oil and coal trains. She relayed in Mosier, Oregon, 16 cars derailed, 4 caught fire in close proximity to an elementary school and the city's wastewater treatment facility, requiring 1500 gallons of water/minute to put the fire out. Edmonds has the power to prevent such a huge scale accident. It is incredible that cities are allowing corporations that are warming the planet's climate and endangering communities to have their way. It is time to draw a line in the sand and say we will not threaten our communities at the benefit of profit for the fossil fuel industry. She feared the repercussions for a community like Edmonds of an incident like what occurred in Mosier. It is a civil responsible to piggyback on other elected officials who are standing up in light of the events in Mosier. The Oregon DOT called for a moratorium on oil by rail traffic. The Council has a responsibility to do the right thing. Shell is proposing an expansion to its refinery that if approved, will bring 6 more trains/week and 60,000 barrels/day through Edmonds. Colleen Rowe, Edmonds, a resident near the railroad tracks as a child and now, commented on the increase in the number of trains and type of trains including 1.5-mile-long coal and oil trains. She reported on the Bureau of Land Management hearings in Seattle where testimony is being taken regarding leasing federal land for coal mining; Strom Peterson spoke about the unique challenges Edmonds faces due to the at -grade ferry crossing, senior center on the waterfront, etc. The City government's paramount role is the safety of citizens and she urged the Council to pass the resolution and join neighboring cities that have considered and passed similar resolutions. Even if Councilmembers believes it is a symbolic gesture, it symbolizes the Council's priorities. Don Larney, Edmonds, referred to his comment to Council about 3 weeks ago regarding traffic at 84th and 2201h and how everyone speed down the hill, often at 40-50 mph. He talked with Mayor Earling who said he would check with engineering but he was not certain if anything had been done. Mayor Earling said he talked with Public Works Director Phil Williams who will be in contact with Mr. Larney. Don Hall, Edmonds, agreed with the previous speakers but said the public did not know the Council planned to discuss a coal and oil train resolution as it was not on the agenda and anyone who might be opposed, although he doubted there was anyone, did not have an opportunity to speak. He recommended the Council hold a public hearing, noting someone must have informed the people who spoke previously that this would be added to the agenda. A firm believer in open government, he said this is not open government. Mayor Earling relayed Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked if a resolution could be considered for discussion only tonight; with the understanding no action would be taken tonight, it was added to tonight's agenda. 6.1. DISCUSSION OF A RESOLUTION REGARDING COAL AND OIL TRAINS Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said this resolution was originally on the agenda but was pulled Friday afternoon. She assured adding it to tonight's agenda did not circumvent the discussion process. She read the draft resolution: A RESOL UTION RELATED TO THE TRANSPORT OF FOSSIL FUELS BY RAIL THROUGH EDMONDS AND THE STATE OF WASHINGTON,• URGING A PROHIBITION ON THE TRANSPORT OF COAL ORE AND CRUDE OIL BY RAIL THROUGH THE CITY OF EDMONDS. WHEREAS, the transport and use of large volumes of fossil fuels, including coal, oil, natural gas, tar sands, bitumen, and other petroleum products and derivatives is not compatible with the City of Edmonds' role as a regional and national leader in addressing climate change; and Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes June 21, 2016 Page 4 Packet Pg. 7 4.1.a WHEREAS, trains carrying fossil fuels, such as coal ore and crude oil, frequently traverse the rail lines that run through the City of Edmonds; and WHEREAS, the volume of crude oil developed and transported by rail, emanating mainly from the Bakken shale formation in North Dakota, through and into the state of Washington is estimated to increase approximately three -hundred percent from the current level of approximately 19 weekly loaded crude -by -rail unit trains to 57 weekly loaded crude -by -rail unit trains by 2020; and WHEREAS, the U.S. Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration has determined that crude oil from the Bakken shale formation may be more flammable, with a lower flash point, than traditional heavy crude oil; and WHEREAS, rail incidents involving crude oil have increased nearly fifteen -hundred percent between 2010 and 2014 and current trends show no evidence of the number of incidents diminishing; and WHEREAS, recent derailments, spills, and fires, such as the recent derailment and fire in the Columbia River Gorge area of Mosier, Oregon, as well as the multiple recent derailments, fires, and oil spills resulting in devastating destruction to both communities and the environment, including the derailment and subsequent explosion and fire in Lac-Megantic, Quebec, which caused the deaths of 47 people, the evacuation of thousands of people, and the destruction of many homes and businesses evidence the necessity to take appropriate measures to safeguard our residents and environment; and WHEREAS, the rail lines that transport coal ore and crude oil from the Bakken shale formation run through and by Edmonds' residential, natural, and commercial areas, including: parks, neighborhoods, businesses, a ferry terminal, a senior center, and along Edmonds' waterfront, marshes, and other natural areas; and WHEREAS, the possibility of a similar derailment, fire, evacuation, and loss of property and life would be devastating to the City of Edmonds and its residents; and WHEREAS, the City of Edmonds is deeply concerned about the threat to life, property, and the environment resulting from derailments leading to oil spills, explosions, and fires from the transport of crude oil by rail; NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, THAT.• Section 1: The City Council of the City of Edmonds strongly urge the United States Department of Transportation to prohibit the transportation by rail through the City of Edmonds of all fossil fuels, while continuing to strive to implement further aggressive, regulatory measures to safeguard our community and natural resources. Section 2: Copies of this resolution shall be transmitted by the Clerk of the General Assembly to the President of the United States; the Secretary of the United States Department of Transportation; each member of the United States Congress elected from this State, including: Senator Patty Murray, Senator Maria Cantwell, and Representative Jim McDermott; Governor Jay Inslee; each member of the Washington State delegation representing the City of Edmonds from Districts 21 and 32, including: Senator Maralyn Chase, Senator Marko Liias, Representative Cindy Ryu, Representative Ruth Kagi, Representative Strom Peterson, and Representative Lillian Ortiz -Self. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said the packet includes a number of attachments that will be made public in the next week. Most disturbing to her is the blast zone; the blast zone for an explosion on the Edmonds waterfront blast zone is %2 mile, approximately City Hall and the evacuation area is 1 mile, approximately 9th Avenue. She encouraged Councilmembers to read the information, acknowledging the resolution need to be cleaned up to either separate it into separate resolutions for coal and oil or combined and revised. Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes June 21, 2016 Page 5 Packet Pg. 8 4.1.a Councilmember Buckshnis recalled the Council passed a coal resolution in 2014. She requested that resolution be included in next week's packet. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas agreed to attach it to next week's packet. She said further consideration would be given to either combining the issues or having separate resolutions. Councilmember Buckshnis said it did not matter to her but it may be cleaner to have separate resolutions regarding coal trains and regarding oil trains. Councilmember Mesaros was pleased the Council was moving forward on this. As the Council already passed a resolution regarding coal trains, he suggested the new resolution refer to it, thereby strengthening it. Councilmember Tibbott concurred with previous Council comments. He suggested adding reference to the opportunity to partner with other cities who share the City's borders and have similar interests with regard to coal and oil trains through their cities. Councilmember Teitzel shared Councilmember Tibbott's concern. As this is a significant issue and represents a safety risk to citizens, he recommended the action be meaningful, carry weight and elicit action from the railroads carrying this hazardous cargo. He agreed Edmonds should work with Mukilteo, Shoreline, Everett and other nearby communities that share waterfronts and possibly develop a joint resolution that would show more solidarity regarding the issue, keying off what Seattle and other communities have already done. He also suggested taking the coal portion out of the resolution due to evidence of the risk of explosion and fire from derailment and the addition of oil trains and coal is not as flammable as oil. He also requested trace quantification of pollution caused by coal trains in Edmonds, commenting he has not seen any data that coal dust accumulated in Edmonds in any measurable amount. He believed a coal train derailment would cause a huge mess in Edmonds but it did not represent nearly the danger of an oil train. He recommended the resolution focus exclusive on the oil train issue. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said Edmonds is part of a group, Safe Energy Leadership Alliance (SELA), chaired by King County Executive Dow Constantine that includes representatives from Shoreline, Edmonds, Mukilteo, Woodway and other cities bordering the tracks. She encouraged Councilmembers to review the SELA website; she is Edmonds' representative on SELA. With regard to the resolutions, she said Councilmembers were welcome to their opinions as well as welcome to vote against the resolutions, but she will be submitting resolutions opposed to coal and oil trains on the Edmonds waterfront. She offered to have more research done with regard to the damage coal train spills cause in waterways. She was agreeable to preparing separate resolutions. Councilmember Nelson thanked Councilmember Fraley-Monillas for tracking this issue and Mr. Pierce for drafting the resolution. He agreed with the statement by an audience member that citizens' safety is the Council's number one priority and this resolution is a step in that direction. He acknowledged the resolution only asks the federal government to prohibit this activity but Edmonds will be one of 29 cities in the Pacific Northwest that do not want oil trains rolling through their neighborhoods which collectively sends a message. What he noticed in his research was not the oil train volume but the number of oil spills; the amount of oil spilled in 2013 was more in one year than from 1975 to 2012. The threat Edmonds faces is real, immediate and the Council needs to take whatever action possible to prohibit it. Council President Johnson agreed with Mr. Hall, the citizens need to know the Council is discussing this issue and it was her intent to continue this discussion next week. She thanked Colleen Rowe as the voice of someone who has seen changes over many years. She thanked the Sierra Club who spoke about drawing a symbolic line in the sand. What Edmonds can accomplish as an individual city is one thing; what they can accomplish as a group is something else. Regardless of whether Edmonds coordinates with its neighbors, this can be an example, share information with other cities and encourage them to act Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes June 21, 2016 Page 6 Packet Pg. 9 4.1.a accordingly. She looked forward to continuing the discussion next week, and requested input from administration as well so that all points of view are considered. Councilmember Mesaros suggested referencing in the whereas clause the City's involvement in SELA so citizens are aware of the City's involvement. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas agreed. She relayed she sent the Council information regarding the work SELA does. 7. ACTION ITEMS 1. CLOSED RECORD REVIEW AND ACTION ON THE PLANNING BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE A CITY -SPONSORED REZONE OF 21802 98TH AVE. W FROM OPEN SPACE (OS) TO SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL (RS-8) IN FILE NO. PLN20160019 Mayor Earling explained the purpose of the closed recording hearing is for the City Council to consider the Planning Board's recommendation to rezone the property located at 21802 98th Avenue West from Open Space (OS) to Single Family Residential (RS-8). A rezone is a Type IV-B application where staff makes a recommendation to the Planning Board and the Planning Board forwards a recommendation to the City Council for a final decision. Mayor Earling opened the closed record hearing. Parties of record would normally include the applicant, any person who testified at the open record public hearing on the application, and any person who individually submitted written comments concerning the application at the open record public hearing. In this case the applicant is the City; no one other than City staff spoke during the open record public hearing. Therefore, presentation and comment will be allowed from staff only. The Appearance of Fairness Doctrine (AFD) requires that this hearing be fair in form, substance and appearance. The hearing must not only be fair; it must also appear to be fair. He asked whether any member of the decision -making body had engaged in any oral or written communication with opponents or proponents regarding the issues in this matter outside the public hearing process. Councilmembers Nelson, Fraley-Monillas, Buckshnis, Teitzel, Mesaros, and Tibbott, Council President Johnson and Mayor Earling indicated they had no known conflicts or outside communication, Mayor Earling asked if any member of Council had any conflict of interest or believed he/she cannot consider the application in fair and objective manner. Councilmember Tibbott, Mesaros, Teitzel, Buckshnis, Fraley-Monillas and Nelson, Council President Johnson and Mayor Earling indicated they had no conflicts and can hear the issue in fair and objective manner. Mayor Earling asked whether any member of the audience objected to any Councilmember or his participation as a decision maker in this hearing. There were no objections voiced. He asked the Council to agree to the following presentation of oral argument: a five minute presentation by staff and any questions from Council. COUNCILMEMBER TIBBOTT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER MESAROS, TO APPROVE THE PROCESS MAYOR EARLING OUTLINED. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Planner Mike Clugston explained this was a City -sponsored project. Last year as he was looking at a building permit for nearby site, he noticed this this parcel was zoned Open Space in an area zoned Single Family Residential RS-8. The site was previously a Public Works site that contained water facilities in the 1940-1960s which were removed in the late 1960s and a single family residence built in 1971 and a pool in 1976 but the parcel was never rezoned. The proposal is to update the map to Single Family Residential Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes June 21, 2016 Page 7 Packet Pg. 10 4.1.a RS-8, the use that has existed for the past 45 years. The Planning Board held a hearing on June 8 and unanimously recommended approval of the rezone. The ordinance in Exhibit 3 has been approved as to form. For Councilmember Mesaros, Mr. Clugston confirmed there is currently a house on the property with a pool in the backyard and it has been used as a residence for the past 45 years. Councilmember Teitzel asked whether the rezone would have any negative impact on the property owner. Mr. Clugston assured there would not be any negative impact; it brings the zoning into agreement with the Comprehensive Plan and brings the existing improvements into conformance with the zoning. Councilmember Teitzel asked whether there would be any effect on the property tax rates. Mr. Clugston assured there would not. Councilmember Teitzel referred to the zoning map where the area of the proposed rezone is shaded in red, relaying it appears the rezone extends into the 98`h Avenue West Street right-of-way. Mr. Clugston said that was just an artifact from the GIS, the rezone is only this parcel. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas observed notice was sent to a number of properties and asked whether there was any input. Mr. Clugston answered there was no official input. He spoke with the landowner who was initially surprised this was occurring; he had recently purchased the house. He also spoke to 1-2 neighbors who were interested in the rezone after seeing the sign. Mayor Earling cautioned that conversation was outside the record. Councilmember Buckshnis referred to Planning Board Member Val Stewart's question about property taxes and Mr. Clugston's indication to the Planning Board that he was fairly certain the property has been taxed as a single family residence. Mr. Clugston said he double-checked and verified it has been taxed as a single family residence. COUNCIL PRESIDENT JOHNSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS, TO APPROVE ORDINANCE NO. 4035, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON, ADOPTING FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS AND APPROVING A CHANGE IN ZONING FOR ONE PARCEL LOCATED AT 21805 98th AVENUE WEST FROM OPEN SPACE (OS) TO SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL (RS-8); AUTHORIZING AMENDMENT OF THE CITY'S OFFICIAL ZONING MAP. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 8. MAYOR'S COMMENTS Mayor Earling congratulated the Edmonds Arts Festival for the event this past weekend and the great turnout despite the challenging weather. He relayed a prominent citizen, the Father at Holy Rosary Church, is retiring this weekend and encouraged Councilmembers to thank him for his service. 9. COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented it is a wonderful opportunity for Father Haydock to retire. She thanked the environmentalists and the Sierra Club for speaking tonight, commenting Councilmembers have received emails from several organizations. Councilmember Buckshnis thanked the Edmonds Arts Festival directors and volunteers, remarking the artwork was stunningly beautiful. She felt sorry for the artist when it was raining Saturday but the weather was beautiful on Sunday. Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes June 21, 2016 Page 8 Packet Pg. 11 4.1.a Council President Johnson said she was speechless last week after Councilmember Nelson's tribute to the people gunned down in Orlando and Councilmember Buckshnis' moment of silence. The events struck her deeply; she shared a dream she had that night where she saw a large rainbow and clear skies after a dark storm, a beacon of hope for everyone involved in that experience. Council President Johnson advised of this week's open houses: • Wednesday, June 22, 7-9 p.m. at the Senior Center regarding the new waterfront activity center • Thursday, June 23, 6-7:30 p.m. in the Library Plaza Room regarding Civic Field. Councilmember Teitzel reported the local Muslim community is reaching out to local elected officials in friendship and to promote understanding. They invited him to attend an evening prayer meeting last Friday at their Mosque in Mukilteo. He found it a very positive experience to witness their evening prayers and enjoy dinner afterward. They are wonderful people, very welcoming and great members of the community. Councilmember Mesaros agreed the Edmonds Arts Festival was a delight and well worth the money he and his wife spent. He relayed his delight at seeing children frolicking in the spray pad in City Park today. Councilmember Tibbott reported it was good to be back in Edmonds after traveling last week. He reported using the green umbrellas while it was raining at the Edmonds Arts Festival. He reported that he, along with other Councilmembers, will be attending the annual AWC conference in Everett that started tonight and continues through Friday. One of the reasons he volunteered to attend the conference was to increase his understanding of how cities operate and to learn what other cities are doing to be effective. 10.

PA-C, Diagnoses this visit 1. FALL, INITIAL ENCOUNTER 2, ABRASION OF LEG, RIGHT, INITIAL ENCOUNTER 3. CONTUSION OF RIGHT KNEE, INITIAL ENCOUNTER 4. ABRASION OF LIP, INITIAL ENCOUNTER Fallow -up Information Please follow up. Why: NO facial fractures and no head bleed seen on CT. Please apply ice to aches and pains and swollen lip. Please contact your doctor for follow up as needed. Discharge Instructions Abrasion An abrasion is a cut or scrape of the skin. Abrasions do not extend through all layers of the skin and most heal within 10 days. It is important to care for your abrasion properly to prevent infection. CAUSES Most abrasions are caused by falling on, or gliding across, the ground or other surface. When your skin rubs on something, the outer and inner layer of skin rubs off, causing an abrasion. DIAGNOSIS Your caregiver will be able to diagnose an abrasion during a physical exam. TREATMENT Your treatment depends on how large and deep the abrasion is. Generally, your abrasion will be cleaned with water and a mild soap to remove any dirt or debris. An antibiotic ointment may be put over the abrasion to prevent an infection. A bandage (dressing) may be wrapped around the abrasion to keep it from getting dirty. You may need a tetanus shot if: • You cannot remember when you had your last tetanus shot. • You have never had a tetanus shot) The injury �jbroke your skin. C. Packet Pg. 22 Page 2 o If you get a tetanus shot, your arm may swell, get red, and feel warm to the touch. This is common and not a problem. If you need a tetanus shot and you choose not to have one, there is a rare chance of getting tetanus. Sickness from tetanus can be serious. HOME CARE INSTRUCTIONS • If a dressing was applied, change it at least once a day or as directed by your caregiver. If the bandage sticks, soak it off with warm water. • Wash the area with water and a mild soap to remove all the ointment 2 times a day. Rinse off the soap and pat the area dry with a clean towel. • Reapply any ointment as directed by your caregiver. This will help prevent infection and keep the bandage from sticking. Use gauze over the wound and under the dressing to help keep the bandage from sticking. • Change your dressing right away if it becomes wet or dirty. • Only take over-the-counter or prescription medicines for pain, discomfort, or fever as directed by your caregiver. • Follow up with your caregiver within 24-48 hours for a wound check, or as directed. If you were not given a wound -check appointment, look closely at your abrasion for redness, swelling, or pus. These are signs of infection. SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL CARE IF: • You have increasing pain in the wound. • You have redness, swelling, or tenderness around the wound. • You have pus coming from the wound. • You have a fever or persistent symptoms for more than 2-3 days. • You have a fever and your symptoms suddenly get worse. • You have a bad smell coming from the wound or dressing. MAKE SURE YOU: • Understand these instructions. • Will watch your condition. • Will get help right away if you are not doing well or get worse. This information is not intended to replace advice given to you by your health care provider. Make sure you discuss any questions you have with your health care provider.

Contusions happen when an injury causes bleeding under the skin. Signs of bruising include pain, puffiness (swelling), and discolored skin. The contusion may turn blue, purple, or yellow. HOME CARE • Put ice on the injured area. • Put ice in a plastic bag. • Place a towel between your skin and the bag. • Leave the ice on for 15-20 minutes, 03-04 times a day. • Only take medicine as told by your doctor. Packet Pg. 23 Page 3 0� 4.2.b • Rest the injured area. • If possible, raise (elevate) the injured area to lessen puffiness.

On June 7, 2016, Council approved this Ordinance. Due to minor revisions to the format and language, which do not change the substance of this action, this item is being brought back to Council for approval. Staff Recommendation Approve the Ordinance. Narrative This item is going back to City Council for approval because of minor revisions to the format and language used in the Ordinance. The main body of the ordinance remains unchanged. As part of the City's SR-104 Study completed in 2015, one of the identified projects was the speed limit reduction for westbound traffic (40 mph to 35 mph) from the west side of the 95th PI intersection to the east side. This project was identified as a safety project, due to the curvature of SR-104 and the limited sight distance at the intersection. There is also an accident history involving vehicles making left turns onto 95th Pl. With vehicles going westbound in the opposite direction on SR-104. Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT) recently completed a speed study along this segment and the 85th percentile speed was 42 mph for both movements. Based on those results, WSDOT concluded that the 35 mph speed limit can be extended to MP 26+92 (east of the 951h PI. W intersection). WSDOT will complete all the sign work this summer.

Packet Pg. 80 7.2 City Council Agenda Item Meeting Date: 06/28/2016 Resolution Urging the Prohibition of Transportation of Crude Oil By Train Through Edmonds (5 min.) Staff Lead: Andrew Pierce Department: City Council Preparer: Andrew Pierce Background/History The recent oil train derailment and fire in the Columbia River gorge area of Mosier, Oregon highlighted the continued risk of trains carrying crude oil via train through populated areas and natural habitats. Due to projected increased in Crude Oil train traffic in the Northwest United States many localities and governments in the region are taking action to address the potential threats posed by the transportation of crude oil via train. Staff Recommendation <Type or insert text here> Narrative (Text Borrowed from the National Conference of State Legislatures) The United States is producing more oil than it has in 30 years, and extraction companies are increasingly relying on railroads to deliver these products to refineries. Recent technological advances such as hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling are driving the increase in oil and natural gas extraction by unlocking access to resources in Canada and the U.S. that were previously considered too costly to develop. In 2014, the U.S. became the No. 1 producer of oil in the world -overtaking Saudi Arabia and Russia -and that upward trend has continued into 2015. While the U.S. produced an average of 8.7 million barrels of crude oil per day in 2014, during the first six months of 2015 that number rose to an average of more than 9.4 billion barrels per day, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The U.S. hasn't extracted that volume of crude since the early 1970s. Leading the way are Texas and North Dakota, which combined account for almost half of domestic production. In some cases, production levels have reached pipeline capacity, forcing producers to identify alternative transportation methods. Many have turned to the railways, which have experienced incredible growth in crude oil transport. In fact, the number of carloads carrying oil in 2014 rose by more than 5,000 percent when compared with the numbers in 2008, according to the Association of American Railroads (AAR). North Dakota's Bakken region accounts for much of this growth, with more than half of its production - around 700,000 barrels per day in early 2015-moving out of the region on rail. That crude oil is moved to refineries predominantly on the East and West Coasts, where it is processed into useful petroleum products like heating oil, diesel fuel or gasoline. Packet Pg. 81 7.2 According to the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), just 2.6 percent of petroleum products were transported by rail in 2009. Now, approximately 11 percent of these products are carried on Class I railroads, according to AAR. Although oil still makes up less than 2 percent of total rail freight, the volume of oil transported by rail has grown exponentially. Specifically, it's the difference between 9,344 carloads terminated on U.S. Class I railroads in 2008, compared with 540,383 carloads in 2014. Despite the fact that almost all of these carloads reach their destination without accidents, several high - profile incidents have brought the issue into the national spotlight and led some to call for greater rail safety standards for crude oil transports. In 2013, a derailment and explosion killed 47 people and spilled 1.5 million gallons of crude oil in Lac Megantic, Quebec. An analysis of federal data from DOT's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) estimated that 1.15 million gallons of crude oil spilled from rail cars in the U.S. in 2013. The topic came to the forefront again in early 2015 after several derailments and spills occurred within a matter of weeks. However, railroads are carrying a much greater volume of fuel than in preceding decades. According to AAR, railroads carried over 11.5 billion gallons of fuel in 2013, and 99.99 percent of carloads reached their destination without a release caused by an accident. Overall rail safety and accident prevention has also improved dramatically in recent years. Rail accidents are down nearly 85 percent since 1980, and around 25 percent since 2000, according to Federal Railroad Administration data. Similarly, the number of hazardous materials spills has fallen by almost 60 percent since 2000-and this at a time when the number of hazmat cars has risen by nearly 15 percent. Railroad Classes About 570 freight railroads operate in the U.S., according to the AAR. These railroads are classified into categories primarily based on operating revenue, which is adjusted annually for inflation through regulations outlined by the Surface Transportation Board. Class I railroads are those having annual operating revenues of more than $467 million as of 2013. There are two Canadian railroads and two Mexican railroads that have enough operating revenue to qualify them as Class I. There are currently seven Class I railroads operating 94,300 miles of road in the U.S. This accounts for 68 percent of freight rail mileage and 94 percent of revenue. Non -Class I railroads -more commonly known as regional or short line railroads -vary in size from small operations carrying a few loads per month to much larger, multi- state operations. Although crude oil transported by rail primarily occurs on Class I railroads, regional and short line railroads can also be used when moving crude oil shorter distances and as a way to connect to the larger railroad system.

Although crude oil transported by rail primarily occurs on Class I railroads, regional and short line railroads can also be used when moving crude oil shorter distances and as a way to connect to the larger railroad system. FederalAction The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), one of 10 agencies under the DOT, has primary jurisdiction over railroad safety, covering the safety of track, grade crossings, rail equipment, operating practices, and movement of hazardous materials (hazmat). DOT's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and the U.S. Departmerr Homeland Security's Transportation Security Administration (TSA) issue safety standards for railways. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), an independent federal agency, is responsible for making recommendations to prevent future incidents. Unlike the FRA, the NTSB has no regulatory authority although the FRA often agrees with the recommendations provided by the NTSB. In an effort to improve safety and reduce the potential for rail spills, governm agencies in the U.S. and Canada have adopted additional safety standards and issued new regulations for crude oil railcars. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), for instance, issued an emergency order in May 2014 that requires railroad operators to notify local emergency responders whenever oil shipments travel through their states. Canada has also announced that it will phase out the use of older rail cars used to transport oil by May 2017. In May 2015, the DOT announced a final rule to strengthen safety standards for transportation of flammable liquids by rail. The rule was developed by PHMSA and FRA, in coordination with Canada. The rule establishes a variety of new standards, including: enhanced tank car standards, new braking standards, new testing and sampling requirements to determine product stability, and new operational protocols, such as routing requirements, speed restrictions and informing local agencies. TIMELINE OF FEDERAL AGENCY EFFORTS TO ADDRESS RAIL SAFETY CONCERNS Date Summary 5/28/2015 DOT announces that the May 2014 Emergency Order regarding emergency response notifications for shipments of petroleum crude oil by rail will remain in full force and effect until further notice while the agency considers options for codifying the May 2014 disclosure requirement on a permanent basis. 5/1/2015 DOT announces Final Rule to strengthen the safe transportation of flammable liquids by rail. The Final Rule applies to trains transporting large volumes of flammable liquids and will make significant and extensive changes to improve accident prevention, mitigation, and emergency response. A summary of the key provisions contained in the Final Rule is also available. 4/17/2015 PHMSA issued a Safety Advisory to remind hazardous materials shippers and carriers of their o responsibility to ensure that current, accurate and timely emergency response information is immediately available to first responders. PHMSA and FRA issued a Safety Advisory to reminc r railroads operating a high -hazard flammable train that certain information may be required by 20 PHMSA and/or FRA personnel during the course of an investigation immediately following an = accident. FRA issued an Emergency Order to require that trains transporting large amounts of O Class 3 flammable liquid through certain highly populated areas adhere to a maximum E authorized operating speed of 40 mph. FRA issued a Safety Advisory recommending that _q railroads use highly qualified individuals to conduct the brake and mechanical inspections and r recommends a reduction to the impact threshold levels the industry currently uses for wayside Q detectors that measure wheel impacts to ensure the wheel integrity of tank cars in those trains. FRA issued a Notice and comment request seeking to gather additional data c Packet Pg. 86 cars carrying petroleum crude oil in any train involved in an FRA reportable accident. FRA Acting Administrator sent a letter to the Honorable Edward Hamberger, president of the Association of American Railroads, asking continued commitment of its member railro address the safety issues presented. 2/5/2015 DOT submitted a draft Final Rule on the safe transportation of flammable liquids (including crude oil) by rail to the Office of Management and Budget for formal review. 12/11/2014 PHMSA hosted a follow-up meeting with emergency response officials to address gaps in preparedness and training since Feb. 10, 2014 engagement. 7/23/2014 DOT releases a comprehensive rulemaking proposal to improve the transportation of large quantities of flammable materials by rail, including a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for enhanced tank car standards, an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking to expan oil spill response planning requirements for shipments of flammable materials and a report summarizing the analysis of Bakken crude oil data gathered by PHMSA and FRA. 6/18/2014 FRA declares that details regarding oil train shipments are not sensitive security information Previously DOT had ordered railroads to give state officials specifics on oil -train routes and volumes so emergency responders can better prepare for accidents. Some states have agreements restricting the information's release for business and security reasons. 5/7/2014 DOT issues an emergency order requiring all railroads operating trains containing more than 1 million gallons or approximately 35 tank cars of oil being transported from the Bakken region — North Dakota, Montana, Saskatchewan and Manitoba— to notify State Emergency Response Commissions (SERCs) about the operation of these trains through their states. PHMSA and FRA also issue a safety advisory requesting companies to take all possible steps to avoid the use of DOT-111 tank cars when transporting Bakken crude oil, which may be more flammable than other heavy crude. 4/24/2014 DOT announces that the agency plans to release a comprehensive rulemaking package containing options for enhancing rail tank car standards. Following a Canadian announcement that it will require certain railcars to be taken out of servi as well as retrofitting other railcar designs over the next three years. 4/9/2014 FRA announces its intention to issue a proposed rule requiring two -person train crews on crud oil trains and establishing minimum crew size standards for most main line freight and passenger rail operations. 3/6/2014 DOT issued an emergency order requiring additional testing on the transportation of crude oil I rail. 2/25/2014 DOT issues an emergency order requiring stricter standards to transport crude oil by rail. 2/21/2014 DOT and AAR release an agreement regarding a number of safety enhancements to further reduce the risk from transporting the growing level of crude oil in the U.S. DOT notes that the enhancements will focus on increased track inspections, enhanced braking systems, increase, use of rail traffic routing, lower speeds depending on location and cargo, increased community relations, increased trackside safety technology, increased emergency response training and tuition assistance and additional emergency response capability planning. 2/4/2014 PHMSA reports that oil being transported from the Bakken shale formation wa classified in certain instances. The department issues $93,000 in proposed civi Packet Pg. 87 Hess Corporation, Whiting Oil and Gas Corporation, and Marathon Oil Company. 7.2.b 1/2/2014 PHMSA issues a safety alert saying that the type of crude oil being transported from the Bakken region may be more flammable than other heavy crude. 11/20/2013 PHMSA and FRA issues a safety advisory reinforcing the importance of proper characterizatio 0 classification, and selection of a packing group for Class 3 materials. E w 8/29/2013 FRA and PHMSA launches Operation Classification in North Dakota's Bakken region to verify c that crude oil is being properly classified. In addition to action proposed by federal agencies, some Members of Congress have called for new rules governing railcars carrying crude oil. In 2015, Congress has introduced several bills to improve the emergency response and the safety of crude oil by rail, including the Surface Transportation Reauthorization and Reform (STRR) Act of 2015, the House of Representatives' multiyear transportation bill. The STRR Act requires a variety of rail -centric reforms, includir half -inch thick thermal jackets for tank cars, requiring railroads transporting Class 3 flammable liquids to maintain comprehensive oil spill response plans, and mandating a study and testing of electronically controlled pneumatic (ECP braking systems. The bill also allocates more than $1.4 billion over the life of the bill to help improve safety for grade crossings. It remains unclear if any of these bills will become law this session, although DDT's new safety rule address some of the issues raised in the proposed bills.

State rail transport laws address a number of issues includinc registration and permit programs, routing requirements, notification, financial liability, emergency response planning an training, inspection, enforcement and shipment restrictions. At least 19 bills to provide funding assistance or stricter standards were introduced in seven states in 2015. Of these, there were eight resolutions, the majority of which urged the federal government to take action in order to increase crude -by -rail safety. New Jersey, which is home to three acti, oil refineries, introduced eight bills in 2015, of which six were resolutions. Three bills in Minnesota focused on increase funding for safety projects at rail crossings on active crude oil routes, while Washington and California introduced bills aimed at enhancing state emergency response capabilities with regard to crude oil transport by rail.

Publication Number: 15-08-011 Packet Pg. 92 7.2.b Differences between the draft & final studies Three changes of note resulted from the December 1, 2014 draft study to the March 1, 2015 final report. Stabilization The study team added findings on the Bakken crude conditioning/stabilization steps that North Dakota took to reduce the volatility of crude oil before shipping it by rail. This topic is raised often, including at legislative hearings. A recommendation was changed from the draft study to call on the Northwest Area Committee to sample the oil and characterize the hazards presented to first responders. The committee is asked to communicate the results and potential health/environmental threat(s) to Washington response organizations. Draft Washington Pilotage Commission recommendation moved to executive summary At the request of the Office of Financial Management, an existing draft recommendation for the Washington Pilotage Commission and rulemaking was moved into the executive summary because the action is contained in proposed legislation. Salish Sea Workshop An appendix was added to capture results from the January 7-8, 2015 Salish Sea Workshop in Bellingham. The workshop reviewed 10 years of waterway studies and connected their assumptions, findings, and recommendations to identify steps to reduce risk within the current energy and transportation environment. Final study content The final study includes a list of 43 findings and recommendations. The recommendations are a mix of risk mitigation steps at the federal and state levels addressing rail, marine, facility, emergency and spill response.

The result: freight railroads move unit oil trains under rules as rigorous as those required for more hazardous materials. Thanks to a nationwide rail network infused by years of major private investment reaching into the hundreds of billions of dollars, railroads are safely and efficiently transporting what America's economy needs and helping the nation achieve energy independence. 9.5 9.0 8.5 S.0 7.5 7.0 6.5 6.0 5.5 5.0 4.5 4.0 U.S. CRUDE OIL PRODUCTION IS AT RECORD LEVELS Millions of Garrets Per Day '91 '92 '93 '94 '95 '96 '97 '98 '99 '00 '01 '02 '03 '04 '05 '06 '07 'oa '00 '10 'T1 '12 '13 '14 15 '16 U.S. crude oil production Is at near record levels and railroads have stopped up as the critical IInk In helping delNer U.S. energy Independence.

Learn more about first responder training > Freight Rail Safety: Crude By Rail Safety Efforts ENHANCED RAIL OPERATIONS FOR CRUDE OIL Freight railroads have rigorous employee safety training requirements and strict operating procedures that govern the handling and movement of hazardous goods, including crude oil. Federal regulation and self-imposed safety practices dictate train speeds, equipment and infrastructure inspections, procedures for how to handle and secure trains carrying hazardous materials, and much more. Railroads also use a sophisticated routing model, developed in partnership with the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to help determine the safest and most secure routes for transporting hazardous materials. Since July 2013, in coordination with government officials, railroads have imposed additional, voluntary operating procedures for shipments containing crude oil including: • instituting speed restrictions for certain trains carrying crude oil; • protocols to help prevent trains operating on mainline tracks or sidings from moving unintentionally; • increased track inspections along crude oil routes; https://www.aar.org/todays-rai I roads/w hat -we -haul /crude-oi I-by-rai I Packet Pg. 96 6/20/2016 Crude Oil by Rail 7 2 b • installation of additional safety technologies — wayside wheel bearing detectors that alert railroads to problems with rail cars along crude routes; and • equipping crude oil unit trains with enhanced braking systems. In April 2015, PHMSA, in coordination with FRA, issued a final rulemaking on the movement of flammable liquids by rail, including crude oil and ethanol. The final rule includes new operational requirements for certain trains transporting a large volume of Class 3 flammable liquids.

(Alan Berner / The Seattle Times) A Union Pacific oil train has derailed and smoke and flames can be seen in Mosier, Ore., in the Columbia River Gorge. By Seattle Times staff MOSIER, Ore. — The fiery derailment of oil -train cars in the Columbia River Gorge east of Portland Friday afternoon has rekindled debate about the drawbacks of the Pacific Northwest's role in crude -oil transport. Several rail cars in the 96-car Union Pacific Railroad train bound for Tacoma derailed http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/oil-train-derails-in-columbia-river-gorge/ I Packet Pg. 100 6/20/2016 Oil train derails, catches fire in Columbia River Gorge I The Seattle Times 7 2 b here about 12:20 p.m., railroad and state officials said. Emergency responders quic c y swarmed the area. Hours later, the extent of the environmental impact on the region remained unknown. No injuries or fatalities were reported. Some residents of Mosier, which is about 70 miles east of Portland, were under mandatory evacuation orders. The train derailed less than a half -mile from the center of town. Other people stayed, though, and discussed the crash.

Soon after news of the incident spread, many state and local leaders issued statements of sympathy for this town of about 45o residents, stressing that the derailment underscores the risks of the growing number of crude -oil trains traveling through the region. "While it is fortunate that there aren't any reports of people being injured in today's derailment, there is surely harm to our natural environment from oil spills," state Rep. Jessyn Farrell, D-Seattle, said in a statement.

The train originated in Eastport, Idaho, and was headed to the U.S. Oil & Refinery Co. refinery in Tacoma with highly volatile Bakken crude oil. Eleven oil tankers derailed, officials said. Four of them continued to burn into the evening. The Washington state Department of Ecology's team was monitoring the smoke and runoff into the evening and confirmed at 7 p.m. that no oil had entered the Columbia River. Kristen McNall, a Mosier resident, high-tech consultant and volunteer for the Mosier Fire Department, was working on logistics for an estimated too firefighters from all over the region. "We've got people from all over, from Portland, and the Yakama Nation," she said. Cause is unknown Herb Krohn, legislative director for the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers, the union that represents workers on the train, said the derailment occurred 18 cars back from the front of the train, on relatively straight track. "When the derailment happened, they looked back, and saw smoke," Krohn said.

Krohn said it could be months before investigators know the derailment's cause. As a precaution, the Oregon Department of Transportation shut down a roughly 27-mile stretch of Interstate 84, which reopened before midnight Friday. Also, about 200 students in Mosier schools were evacuated to the Wahtonka Community School campus in The Dalles, according to Susan Vallie, community coordinator for Mosier Schools. Ironically, the derailment occurred as the Washington state Department of Ecology was holding public hearings on rules to make oil I Ow transport by rail safer in the state. That includes advance notice to towns of oil shipments, so response plans can be in place, r said Lisa p Copeland, spill communication p manager for the Department of Ecology.

The scenario: an oil -train derailment and wildland fire, BNSF spokesman Gus Melonas said. The exercises involving about 6o people took place at the exact site of Friday's derailment, Melonas said. The shale -oil revolution In the past decade, U.S. wildcatters figured out how to coax crude oil from shale -rock formations, unleashing a surge in oil supply that has brought down gasoline prices, lessened America's reliance on oil exports and redrawn the map of production and transportation of energy in the U.S. As a result, Washington and Oregon have become critical corridors as dozens of trains carry light crude, much of it bound for refineries in Western Washington. It has helped offset a rapid decline in the production of crude from Alaska, the refineries' traditional source of supply. A significant amount of the oil comes from North Dakota's bountiful Bakken shale formation — light crude that's highly valued because it can be easily turned into gasoline, but also is much more flammable and dangerous in case of a spill. Each week, more than 15 oil trains cross Skamania and Klickitat counties, on the Washington side of the Columbia. Western Washington sees significant train traffic, with 18 trains traveling through Pierce County per week and 15 per week in King County. In a November 2015 filing with the Washington Military Department, Union Pacific told state officials that it planned to send up to one train per week with more than 35 cars carrying Bakken crude through 10 Washington counties, including Thurston and Pierce. At least 10 oil -train derailments and explosions have occurred over the past two years, according to a compilation by the Sightline Institute, a Seattle think tank. Oil -train traffic is poised to ramp up significantly in Washington, with terminals planned in Vancouver, Anacortes and the Port of Grays Harbor. The project planned by Tesoro in Vancouver could put four to five more oil trains per day through the Columbia Gorge, each with as many as 120 oil cars in trains a mile and a half long. http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/oil-train-derails-in-columbia-river-gorge/ I Packet Pg. 104 6/20/2016 Oil train derails, catches fire in Columbia River Gorge I The Seattle Times 7 2 b CANADA Bakken FerndaleOil Field ,_ _--- � , -� — -- Anacortes*; WASHiNGTON },•"'e •-- -,' - -- _-_ �."

We are thankful that no oil spilled or ignited, considering Bakken is highly flammable and easily ignited at normal temperatures by heat, static discharges, sparks, vapors, or flames. This oil train derailment was not an isolated incident. Several North American incidents involving crude oil transported by rail have resulted in death, injury, and substantial damage to property and the environment in recent years. http://www.seattle.gov/council/issues/oil-train-safety I Packet Pg. 106 OIL TRAINS DERAILMENTS FIRES & EXPLOSIONS ATIMELINE 2013 - 2016 In the last seven years, the number of rail car loads carrying flammable oil has increased by 5,000%from 9,500 to 493,126. In 2013 alone, far more oil was spilled from rail accidents in the U.S.—mare than 1.15 million gallons —than in the previous four decades, combined. Seattle must act to protect our people, property, and natural environment, but Federal law severely limits the ability of local jurisdictions to regulate oil trains. Councilmember O'Brien has consistently been a strong advocate for safer transport of oil by rail. insisting that the federal government adopt higher standards for tank cars carrying crude oil, safer operational standards, detailed incident response plans, higher regulatory tees that would cover the cost of incident response, greater liability coverage for railroads to respond to oil trains disasters, and restrictions on the volume of oil being transported near Seattle's sporting arenas, stadiums, and beneath the City. 6/20/2016 Oil Train Safety - Council I seattle.gov 7.2.b - 2014 - oil train derailed east of Culbertson, Montana, spilling an estimated 35,000 gallons of oil. 0 MAY 2015 ♦ dEIMDAL, NORTH DAKOTA A tiny North Dakota town was evacuated after a train carrying crude oil derailed and 10 cars burst into flames. 10 MARCH 2015 )ALENA, ILLINOIS Twenty-one cars of a 105-car Burlington Northern Santa Fe train hauling oil from the Bakken region of North Dakota derailed about 3 miles outside of a small town in Illinois.

'm 0 r 6/20/, These incidents highlight the risks of catastrophe here in our city, which is why Council is invested in improving federal regulations. Council Action Council has taken several steps to urge federal regulators to change oil train transport policy, considering BNSF Railway reports moving 8-16 oil trains per week through Seattle, all containing 1,000,000 or more gallons of Bakken crude. One day before the Seattle derailment, the Seattle City Council signed a letter to the U.S. Secretary of Transportation, urging an emergency end to shipping Bakken crude oil in older model tank train cars (DOT-111), which are considered far less safe for shipping flammable materials than newer cars built specifically for carrying crude. Seattle City Council is the first city government nationwide to call for immediate end to oil train transport near neighborhoods. ■ Councilmember Mike O'Brien and Mayor Ed Murray co -sponsored oil train Resolution 31504, which was adopted unanimously by City Council. The resolution urged U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx to aggressively phase out older model tank cars used to move flammable liquids that are not retrofitted to meet new federal requirements. Yet, after seeing the impacts of the derailment in Lynchburg, VA, the Council has since called for an immediate end to the use of legacy DOT-111 train cars. Council was briefed by the City's Office of Emergency Management and Fire Department on their incident response plans in the case of an oil train related incident in Seattle. With the railway physically running along Puget Sound, through residential neighborhoods, underneath Downtown in a 100-year old tunnel, and alongside our very popular professional sports venues, it is critical for both the safety of our people and our environment that Seattle is adequately prepared for such an incident.

The projected increase in the production of coal is very likely to lead to an increase in number of trains carrying coal throughout the United States, especially to export facilities in Washington and Canada. With that increase, the potential for the health and safety affects posed by trains carrying coal will also increase. The increased potential for harm caused by trains carrying coal poses a substantial risk to the City of Edmonds as rail lines that trains use to carry coal to market run through the heart of Edmonds, as well as, along the shoreline of Puget Sound and other natural areas. Staff Recommendation <Type or insert text here> Narrative Projected Increase in the Production and Export of Coal from the United States Despite a decrease in coal production in the United States between 2015 and 2016, current projections show an increase in national coal production in 2017 by four percent. (1) A large portion of the coal produced in the United State is shipped for export to Asia. (2) An increase in the total amount of coal produced will likely increase the amount shipped via train, and exported from the Canadian export terminals in British Columbia. Other than the Longview terminal in southwestern Washington, the majority of coal export terminal are located in British Columbia, Canada. As it is cheaper to export coal to Asia through Canada, trains carrying coal for export to Asia must travel through Edmonds to get to Canadian export facilities in British Columbia. Expansion efforts at three Canadian coal export facilities evidence preparation for a likely increase. (3) Any increase in the production and subsequent transportation of coal to export terminals in Washington and Canada will likely increase the amount of coal train traffic through Edmonds. Estimated Amount of Coal Dust Lost During Transit Packet Pg. 115 7.3 Trains carrying coal also carry the threat of harm to the environment and public health and safety due to the coal dust that is blown from the "open -top hopper" train cars used to haul the coal via rail. Although many rail companies have implemented procedures that can reduce coal dust lost during transit by an average of eighty-five percent (4), it is still estimated that coal trains can lose as much as "500 pounds of coal dust per car for every 500 miles traveled." (5) Railroad industry officials claim that the bulk of coal dust that does blow from these open -top train cars does so closer to the loading stations and mines and decreases as the train travels further from the loading terminal, however, similar to other issues surrounding coal dust emanating from trains, there is no solidly conclusive evidence as to how much coal dust will actually blow from open -top trains cars carrying coal. Additionally, industry officials claim that other factors like weather and the speed the train is travelling can affect coal dust loss. As coal trains typically have over 100 open -top cars in a unit, according to the above estimates, a possible total of 2,000 pounds of coal dust per day could be released into the environment along the five miles of rail lines that run through Edmonds. (6) With the projected increase of coal production and shipping, this estimate could have the potential to increase the amount of coal dust released in Edmonds. A lawsuit filed by the Sierra Club and other environmental groups in 2013 sought an injunction to stop the transportation of coal via rail. As part of that lawsuit, the petitioners submitted evidence of coal dust and ore discharge and accumulation in several tested areas. As part of the suit, the petitioners submitted evidence of coal dust discharge from several points along rail lines where trains carrying coal traverse, including the following two sites: February 27, 2013 (Picnic Point Beach, Edmonds, Puget Sound); March 1, 2013 (Marina Beach Park, Edmonds, Puget Sound). (7) While total amounts of coal dust lost from open -top train cars is inconclusive, evidence suggests that the amount is not zero and, for reasons later discussed, likely is not negligible regardless of how little or how much is lost in transit. The Potential Risk to Heath, Environment, Personal Safety posed by Coal Train Transit through Edmonds Trains carrying coal through Edmonds pose serious environmental, health, and safety risks. Any increase in the number of trains carrying coal through Edmonds can only increase the potential manifestation of those risks. The trains themselves are powered by diesel engines which release diesel particulates via exhaust. The health effects from diesel engine particulate matter were the reason that in 2008 the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") began implementing emissions standards for diesel locomotive engines manufactured and used in the United States. As stated in a 2008 EPA Regulatory Announcement: "Locomotive and marine diesel engines contribute significantly to air pollution in many of the nation's cities and towns. EPA anticipates that over the next few decades, these engines may account for an even greater share of overall emissions as other emission control programs take effect for cars and trucks and other nonroad (sic) emissions sources. Estimates show that, without the emission reductions from this final action, by 2030 locomotive and marine diesel engines would contribute more than 65 percent of national mobile source diesel PM2.5, or fine particulate, emissions and 35 percent of national mobile Packet Pg. 116 7.3 source NOx emissions, a key precursor to ozone and secondary PM formation. As of October 10, 2007, air quality data show that about 144 million people live in areas that violate air quality standards for ground -level ozone, also called smog, and about 88 million people live in areas that violate air quality standards from PM. These pollutants contribute to serious public health problems that include premature mortality, aggravation of respiratory and cardiovascular disease, and aggravation of existing asthma, acute respiratory symptoms and chronic bronchitis. Beyond the impact these diesel engines have on our nation's ambient air quality, exposure to diesel exhaust has been classified by EPA as being likely carcinogenic to humans. Children, people with heart and lung diseases, and the elderly are most at risk." (8) While the 2008 rule concerning the emissions standards for locomotive diesel engines will reduce the total amount of diesel engine particulate matter from diesel train emissions, it will not eliminate all emissions coming from diesel locomotives. A study concerning pollution prevention stated, "epidemiologic evidence suggests that there may be no safe threshold for fine particulate matter and that the effects are linearly related to concentration." (9) Despite the EPA's measures to curb locomotive emissions, the increase in the number of trains traveling through Edmonds can only increase the level of diesel engine particulate matter released in the environment surrounding the city of Edmonds. Coal has been transported via train for decades, but little research has been done on the potential health effects for people who live near coal train routes. The presence of known toxins in coal dust (mainly arsenic, mercury, and other heavy metals), as well as, exposure to coal dust, have been linked to many health problems, including: birth defects, cancer, heart disease, and respiratory illnesses like asthma, chronic bronchitis, and lung cancer. (10) While it is certain that people living along coal train routes will likely never be exposed to the levels of coal dust to which the typical coal miner is exposed, any exposure to coal dust could carry adverse health effects. Juliet Van Eenwyk, an epidemiologist with the Washington State Department of Health, in 2013 stated; "There could be ramifications for children at lower levels of breathing the coal dust," and that if they're exposed to air pollution they can suffer from decreased lung function for the rest of their lives. (11) Regna Merritt, of the Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility (a group of doctors who want Oregon to stop the permitting process for coal exports) speaking on the health concerns of people living in close proximity to rail lines carrying coal, stated, "If you live near the tracks, that's going to be bad news for you. For your lungs and your heart. (12) Although the effects of coal dust in mines has been thoroughly studied for its potential health impacts, there is no research based evidence that living near rail lines over which trains carrying coal travel is directly related to any health defects, however, public health officials in Washington say there is enough risk to merit more testing and research about coal dust from trains. (13) The risk of coal dust deposited into the air, water, and natural areas abutting the rail lines that run through Edmonds poses more threats to the environment. A study commissioned by the Environmental Packet Pg. 117 7.3 Protection Agency in 1978 (the most recent study available concerning the effects of coal dust in the environment) concluded the following: "Operation of a rail line to transport coal can cause pollutant emissions, noise, potential for fires, leaching of chemicals and detrimental aesthetic effects." "Coal dust will cover the leaves of nearby vegetation and reduce its photosynthesis capabilities." "Coal dust could have 'toxic effects on wildlife that might browse on [coal dust covered] vegetation." (14) Coal dust not only poses a risk to the environment due to loss during transit, but coal dust has been proven to degrade the integrity of rail lines thus creating the potential to weaken tracks and increase the potential for track failure and derailment. A study conducted by the University of Illinois concerning the effect of coal dust on railroad ballast strength (a railroad ballast is what would be considered the traditional railroad tie upon which the railroad tracks sit) concluded that accumulation of coal dust weakens the structural integrity of rail tracks which caused many of the track failures leading to derailments close to coal production facilities. (15) Again, while there is no conclusive evidence as to the environmental harm of coal dust in air, water, or soil, a derailment of an open top train car carrying coal through Edmonds has the potential to deposit massive amounts of coal ore into Puget Sound and other natural areas within Edmonds' borders. As previously stated, while there is no conclusive evidence as to how much coal dust may be lost in transit, results from testing done by the Sierra Club and filed as part of that groups' lawsuit seeking to enjoin coal transport via rail, as well as, industry studies on the loss of coal dust during transit evidences that the amount is not zero. For the same reasons that coal dust can be hazardous to human health (the presence of heavy metals like arsenic, mercury, etc.) it can also be hazardous to the environment while at the same time causing massive aesthetic problems due to a deposit of coal dust on the environment and personal property.

Staff Recommendation Forward the item to the consent agenda for approval at a future Council meeting. Narrative In April, 2016, the City of Edmonds completed the 238th St. SW Walkway from 100th Ave to 1041h Ave. A sidewalk was added on the north side of the street and rain gardens were added on the south side to improve storm drainage. Prior to this project, vehicles used the shoulders for parallel parking. However the elements of the project have reduced the parking width to less than 7' (below required standard minimum width for parallel parking stalls). Therefore, NO PARKING signs should be added on the south side of the street, in order to allow such action to be enforceable at all times of the day. Section 8.64.030 of the Edmonds City Code should be revised to read as follows: 8.64.030 Schedule III - Parking prohibited at all times on certain streets. ..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... .

CITY CLERK, SCOTT PASSEY -5- Packet Pg. 127 7.5 City Council Agenda Item Meeting Date: 06/28/2016 Presentation of Planning Board's Recommended Sign Code Amendments (30 min.) Staff Lead: Rob Chave Department: Planning Division Preparer: Diane Cunningham Background/History The Planning Board has had several discussions on options for temporary portable signs downtown, including their meetings of April 27 and May 11, 2016. A Public Hearing was held on May 25, 2016 to gather input on three options dealing with temporary (e.g. A -frame) signs in the Downtown area, including (1) banning temporary portable signs such as A -frames, (2) allowing them as temporary signs for 60 days only (same as current code), or (3) allowing them as a form of permanent signage with restrictions on time, place and manner. In addition to the amendments regarding temporary portable signs, the draft amendments address a number of other minor clarifications and code language updates/issues. At the June 8, 2016 Planning Board meeting, the Planning Board indicated a preference for Option 3 and requested staff prepare a recommendation to City Council for Option 3 and the other clarifying amendments. Staff Recommendation Prepare for a public hearing scheduled for July 19, 2016. Narrative The City Council requested the Planning Board to provide recommendations concerning temporary portable signs in the downtown area. Staff is also working on updates to the City's development code on various subjects, and some minor updates to the sign code are incorporated into the drafts being considered here. Various types of signs are used as temporary portable signs downtown, including A -frames, stanchions, easels, etc. In the updated code the proposal is simply to call all of these signs "pedestrian signs" for simplicity's sake. For pedestrian signs in the downtown area (e.g. A -frame, stanchion, or other freestanding portable signs), the existing code considers these to be 'temporary signs' and only allows them for a total of 60 days in a calendar year. However, no permit is currently required for such signs, so tracking them is extremely difficult. The Planning Board considered 3 options regarding these types of signs: Option 1 would have no longer permitted pedestrian signs, Option 2 would maintain pedestrian signs but require a permit so the signs could be tracked, and Option 3 would permit "pedestrian signs" as permanent signage (so that the 60- day limit no longer applies), but also include specific conditions on duration (only during business hours), Packet Pg. 128 7.5 placement (close to the building or curb, and only in front of the store), and how many (only one per ground floor entrance). After considering public comments and deliberating on the three options for pedestrians signs, the Planning Board settled on Option 3 as the preferred option. The Planning Board also expressed support for the other minor amendments to the sign code considered in this update. The Board's recommendation is summarized in Exhibit 1, with Exhibit 2 containing the code changes recommended by the Board.

While the broader code update may consider additional amendments to the sign code, this update is primarily focused on the temporary portable signs in the downtown area. In addition to the temporary portable sign issue, the recommendation also includes a number of minor amendments intended to clean up and update the code language based on issues that have arisen from implementing the existing code. None of the recommended changes would substantially change the number of signs or the amount of sign area currently allowed by the sign code. PUBLIC PROCESS The City has held two open houses (August 3, 2015 and December 15, 2015) soliciting opinions on and options to address portable signs in the downtown area. The Planning Board has discussed the sign code over the course of seven meetings, including a public hearing on May 25, 2016. In addition to the public meetings, numerous written comments were submitted with recommendations and concerns about portable signs in the downtown area. COMMENTS The Planning Board received comments from the downtown business community as well as citizens who frequent the downtown area. Some general concerns about portable signs included visual clutter, pedestrian obstacles as signs are placed on the sidewalks, and issues with enforcement as currently the temporary portable signs are limited to being displayed only 60 days during a calendar year. Businesses expressed the importance of pedestrian signs in attracting customers. Businesses outside of the main shopping corridor also expressed a need for off -site signage to direct customers to their locations. Opinions were also offered regarding sign design (e.g. uniform sign design) and difficulties of sign placement on older structures under the existing sign code. Packet Pg. 130 PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION Having considered all of the public comments and evaluated the pros and cons of various options, the Planning Board respectfully submits the amendments included in Attachment 1 for the City Council's consideration. This recommended code will create a new section in the sign code for pedestrian signs (ECDC 20.60.055) that will permit pedestrian signs as a new type of permanent signage with specific conditions. This recommended code will: • Limit the number of pedestrian signs to one pedestrian sign per ground floor entrance, • Require signs to be brought in when the business is closed, • Restrict the placement of pedestrian signs to ensure a clear path for pedestrian access, • Provide enough flexibility for placement to address each site's specific conditions, • Require a permit for signs to aid in enforcement, and • Count each pedestrian sign towards the overall number and square footage of signage allowed per business. The Planning Board also fully supports the other recommended amendments to clarifying and update the sign code. These amendments will make the code more understandable and provide opportunity for the City to work with unusual architectural situations in order to accommodate necessary signage opportunity. In addition to the recommended code amendments, the Planning Board encourages the City Council to consider the following items of concern. Neither the existing nor the recommended sign code allows for off -site signage. Businesses with locations off the beaten path or in hard to find locations expressed a strong need for signage that can direct traffic to their locations. The Planning Board recommends the City develop a program that provides directional signage at strategic locations downtown that could direct traffic to businesses similar to other City directional signage around town. The Planning Board recognizes there may be legal ramifications of such a program and maintenance issues with such signs; however, the City has a vibrant downtown with thriving businesses and signage is important for businesses to remain vital. Such a program could be developed with input from the Arts Commission and the Edmonds Downtown Alliance (ED!). Numerous comments were received encouraging uniform design in signage. While the Planning Board was not interested in forcing uniformity on businesses, nothing in the proposed amendments would prevent businesses from creating a uniform sign program that meets the code requirements. The Planning Board encourages some level of uniformity in the design for pedestrian signs. • The sign code allows and encourages blade signs by not counting the sign area of blade signs four feet or less against the allowable sign area. Nothing in the code prevents blade signs from accommodating changing information. The City should encourage the use of blade signs as a means for businesses to provide changing information. • The City should seek to employ technological measures when available to assist is sign code application.

Sign Code Revisions - Option 3 (Planning Board Recommendation) Packet Pg. 149 7.5.c From: Natlie Shippen Received Email: June 7, 2016 Planning Board Members: If Option 3 is adopted, signs that are currently listed as "temporary' in the Edmonds sign code would become "permanent". The Code now says a "temporary sign" is an "allowed portable sign not to exceed 60 calendar days in any calendar year." The "portable" definition lists those signs as: 1. signs designed and constructed with a chassis or support with or without wheels; 2. menu and "sandwich" board signs, 3. "A" and "T" frame signs, 4. wooden, metal or plastic "stake" or "yard" signs, 5. posters or banners affixed ... 7. searchlights. 8. inflatables. If Option 3 is adopted, there will be no 60-day time limit on the signs listed above. They could be out all day (currently, brought in at night for practical reasons), all month, all year for the length of their business life. Options 2 and 3 together are "simply" word games to turn temporary signs into permanent signs. If you doubt that, read the "Narrative" section of the packet closely and note the transition in terminology from temporary, to pedestrian to permanent. The City Council has two choices. Adopt Option 3 which turns temporary signs into permanent ones; that's easy to enforce. Or, adopt Option 1 which prohibits temporary signs. To explain the PURPOSE of Option 1, adopt the language of the carmel code with its emphasis on community quality and explicitly denying the use of public streets for advertising. I suggest that no action be taken on the rest of the proposed amendments (red -lined) "not tied to the pedestrian signs " but based on "staff's working knowledge." (the correct word is "temporary" not "pedestrian" I think blanket approvals should be avoided especially on detailed subjects that lend themselves to doctoring for a specific benefit. Natalie Shippen Packet Pg. 150 7.5.c MeDoftgldP,,,,CGa 630 Main Street Edmonds, Washington 98020 May 23, 2016 Edmonds Planning Board 250 51h Ave N Edmonds, WA 98020 Re: Pedestrian Sign Code Revisions Dear Board Members: I am submitting this written comment as I cannot attend the Public Hearing. However, I did attend the Planning Board Meeting on May 11, 2016 and have also read the Agenda Packet regarding the three options for the sign code, so I am familiar with the general nature of the options. My wife, Sandy, and I own the property at 630 Main St. which houses our Insurance Agency, McDonald McGarry. We have been there since 1996 and have used pedestrian signs for most all of that time. At the May 11 meeting, a citizen asked "What is the public benefit of pedestrian signs?" The signs themselves do not directly benefit the public, however the signs benefit the businesses that utilize them and in turn those businesses benefit the public by creating a vibrant downtown core. While on a different scale, the theory is no different than allowing sidewalk dining. The dining may not benefit the public, but the increase in the economic health of the business in the downtown core does. Most likely all of you have all been here long enough to remember when downtown Edmonds was pretty dreary and oftentimes, it was where businesses went to die. Cleary these signs are helpful to sustaining some businesses. One concern that is common to all three proposals is that we do not want the sidewalks to be overly cluttered and in turn pose a burden on pedestrians with mobility issues or any pedestrians at all. I acknowledge this as a valid concern, however sidewalk encroachment is not a problem that is unique to the downtown core. We live in the Seaview neighborhood. Not every street has a sidewalk and those that do are not always easily passable. Most often the cause is a neighbor that does not keep shrubbery trimmed back, so a 4 foot wide sidewalk can easily be reduced to half that width. In addition, on garbage collection days garbage, recycling and yard waste cans pose an obstacle to easy and safe passage along the sidewalk. So while we need to keep the downtown sidewalks open, please do not be misled to believe that this is only a problem caused by pedestrian signage in the downtown core. Option one is basically an outright ban on pedestrian signs. I feel that this is an overly harsh response to the problem. The common sense elements of the other two proposals, such as having the signage allowed only in front of the sign owner's business, should reduce the clutter and allow easy passage for all pedestrians. Second, I believe it is punitive. The problems with excessive signs is probably created by a handful of businesses and as a result all of the businesses in the area would be punished. This situation is much like the neighbor (425)774-3200 www.mcdonaldmggaLU.com (800)466-4700 Fax (425)774-3 Packet Pg. 151 7.5.c that does not keep their bushes off of the sidewalk, they may be either unaware or simply ignore the applicable rules. Unfortunately, developing personal responsibility and morality is something that no planning code can accomplish. In our office, we use pedestrian signs to promote our business. In addition, we use them to promote a number of community events which we sponsor throughout the year. Please see the next page for a sample of those signs. The purpose of these events is of course to build our business, however they are open to all members of the community, not just our clients or prospective clients. For example, our annual document shredding event has well over 100 total participants. (We were down a bit this last Saturday due to the rain.) By our estimate, less than one fourth of these are our clients. So the pedestrian signboards do have a community benefit. Option two is basically a continuation of the current code. Adopting this without any consistent corresponding enforcement mechanism does not make any sense either. In all likelihood the problems which are trying to be corrected by revising the code would most likely reoccur. Without an excessive monetary burden on the city, I am unaware of any way to regulate the signs to a 60 day annual display period. In addition, I'm not sure how the 60 day term was determined and that time period itself could be a discussion point (or argument) long into the future. Option three seems to me to make the most sense. It has the potential to eliminate sign clutter and it removes the necessity of creating an elaborate process to ensure that businesses are not exceeding the 60 day time limit that has been proposed in option two. This seems to be a reasonable compromise that would keep the sidewalks accessible to all, while at the same time allowing businesses to use pedestrian signage to promote their establishment. Thank you for your time and consideration of these comments. Sincerely, McDONALD McGARRY Jo A.

May 25 Hi - I am a business owner and would love to attend this meeting, however I have a conflict as my 5th grader is performing in her school orchestra that night at the same time. Please feel free to pass the information below on at the hearing. As the owner of Zinc Art + Interiors at the corner of 3rd and Main in Edmonds, WA. I would like to state that use of A -Boards has been essential to my business, it's visibility and it's viability. As many of you know the circle/fountain is the hub of Edmonds. This is reinforced by the location of the Saturday Market, Chamber Events, and traffic patterns. ZINC has now been open for 28 months and it is still a daily struggle to get the general population and visitors to understand that Edmonds does exist beyond the circle, and A -Boards have played a huge role. I can actually look at days where we have neglected to put out our A -Board and see a dramatic difference in that days sales. At the time that we leased our space, sign code would not allow for a sign that actually made sense for the length of our street front. We are now stuck with a sign that is incredibly small above our front door. It is low to the ground and at times completely disappears behind vehicles parked in front of the building. I have asked the parking division to either make the space in front of the building a 15 minute zone or to clearly mark the space as the 3 hour parking that space that they say it is because on many days the space is occupied by one car for the entire duration of our business hours 10-7pm. I have mentioned this to many police as they pick up their uniforms next door at Corry's Dry Cleaning, but their response is that the space is not marked clearly and therefore they can not ticket the vehicle parked there all day. Many days these vehicles are very large and tall and completely block our building. Without the use of an A -Board on the corner of 3rd and Main, many people would not even see we exist. As a tax paying business of Edmonds, I feel it is essential that you take these frustrations and issues with the sign code into account. One citizen with complaints does not make up for the amount of revenue that our business brings to the city, let alone the culture, community and service we provide on a daily basis. In addition I have attached the current street view of our building that is available on Google. As you can see our business doesn't "exist", and the pole in front of our building has no sign indicating parking regulations. ZINC needs all the help it can get as a new business struggling to become part of the community Please help us by improving the sign code and making it friendlier for businesses within the business district where signage is and should be visible and helpful. Thanks so much for your time! Please contact me if you have any questions at all. Best!

Or, anywhere in Edmonds since the Westgate Plan suggests city-wide walkability is now a city goal? Instead of posting daily message changes ON that billboard structure, why not provide a decorative box near the business entrance and place daily new advertising IN it? The Downtown Business Alliance could design it, have it produced and sell it to those who want a location for periodic advertising material. The Box might be introduced with a campaign to Visit Edmonds and Check the Box. Adding the Box would allow business three (3) permanent means of reaching the public: A wall sign, a blade sign and the Box, plus one short-term temporary sign could be added for a business opening event and/or a special event organized by the Downtown Business Alliance. Many businesses already use a permanent, red, small, non -flashing "OPEN" sign. Isn"t that enough signage? I noted in the April 26, 2016 minutes that an instant poll at a public workshop re Hwy. 99 asked residents what their top priority would be if just one thing could be done for the corridor. Their answer was "public space improvements and beautification-42%". Edmonds residents, regardless of their home's location, know they live in a town that has a reputation for attractiveness and they want their area to share that reputation. No one has ever argued that big signs on public sidewalks are a public space improvement or that they contribute to the beautification of Edmonds.

I find it rather amazing that the City acts, after one person complains about "A -boards", yet the BID wants to add significant sign clutter by putting ED! badges all over town. If a person does not know they are shopping in Downtown Edmonds, then they should not be out walking around. Alley signage--- what a joke. Seattle has it because there are businesses located in those locations with no other point of entry or egress. Pathetic. I am filing a complaint about pole and Ed! sign pollution in Edmonds. I have spent 17 years selling in resort towns, and this City does not have the slightest idea what it is doing. Although-- the corrupt BID Directors figured out how to personally benefit from their positions.... Only goes to show the integrity of the people--- who want other peoples money. Brent Malgarin.

My building is uniquely squat and sits slightly into the public right of way. When going through the permitting process to create my sign, current code would not allow my sign to be above my roof line - regardless of the height of my building. With the required minimum height from the sidewalk for pedestrians and the maximum height allowed by my roof line, I ended up with about 2' of workable height to create my blade sign. I ended up modifying my logo so my sign would have enough visual impact from up the street. I've attached an image of my sign, my building and my logo - so you can see the circle version I would ultimately like to replace my current sign with. I am not encouraging allowing enormous signs that are out of scale with their building/neighbors, but if there is a way to accommodate some variances in the sign code for unique site situations - allowing signs to go a certain amount above a roof line or exceed the size restrictions in some cases - I'd support it. Please let me know if you have quesitons or if I can provide any additional info.

About the sign code, it is mystifying to me that there is outdoor seating allowed in the downtown area so that the restaurants can monopolized a portion of the public walkways particularly when the sidewalks are so narrow to begin with. It is difficult to get around the tables and chairs if there is more than one person trying to pass by ( with the signs and posts) but for persons who have mobility issues it is nearly impossible. I have wondered often if it is ADA compliant, and I can't see how it would be. When it is busy down there, just strolling on the street is not a pleasant experience at all Those of us who can walk easily are merely inconvenienced with all the signs and sidewalks taken up by outdoor seating and abundant signage. But for anyone with any difficult at all, it is truly daunting and I don't believe it should be.

The outdoor dining was a HUGE council discussion issue four or five years back and I can't recall it all but it was only for the spring/summer months, I think. You can email Shane Hope and ask. Personally, I think we should try a 30 day temp ban and see if business are affected. It would be similar to going on a specific diet - you don't know if you like it or not because you have never tried it! Why not try it to see if business really need those signs.

The only questions Board members discuss is how many and where. E I think its unfortunate that a small, but well -organized downtown group, feels it must soil its own nest to c a� Q make a living but I don't believe that others should have to pay to solve their problem. 0 U Those others are the 40,000 people who share that nest. They are called residents and THEIR home is a a� flourishing, attractive residential community. Those residents have spent thousands of dollars in over 50 years N to make residential and commercial Edmonds look the way it does today. Their efforts deserve more M consideration than they are now receiving from the Planning Board. Temporary commercial signs are a blight. About four years ago a consultant, Roger Brooks, was retained to explore ways make edmonds more inviting. He had a long list; the theme of one of the items was "First Impressions Are Lasting". Applying that old adage, he suggested that the entering "Edmonds" sign NOT be placed at Westgate but further along where SR104 enters the Bowl.lt's easy to see why. Entering Westgate one is met with a flashing car -wash sign on the right and, on the left, a collection of drab, low commercial buildings with a row of sandwich board signs, strung along SR 104, identifying each business. (The car wash sign no longer flashes but the board signs are still there). It is the perfect poor first impression. Edmonds residents don't deserve more blight and more poor impressions on Main and on Fifth streets. Temporary commercial signs are a stigma. They send a far more significant message than the actual words on the sign. They convey a state of mind, they cry economic distress, even panic; they cry cheap.None of these attitudes reflect the reality of a prosperous, attractive RESIDENTIAL community. Locating temporary commercial signs (sandwich boa rds,stanchions, banners etc) in the public right-of-way creates the picture of a fine home with a seedy front yard. Does the Planning Board believe that is the image residents want their sign code to produce?

It's not the message on the temporary A -frame signs that is the PROBLEM. It's the number of those signs on the street. Changing the message doesn't solve the PROLIFERATION problem. It's not the style of the A -frames that is the PROBLEM it's the number of those signs on the street. Substituting another type of temporary sign doesn't solve the PROLIFERATION problem. Currently, those "temporary" signs are, in fact, permanent because they have been out on the street all day, all week, all year for several years. The time limit on temporary signs is 60 cumulative days annually. No owner complies with that time limit and it can't be enforced using a "Request for Code Enforcement Action" because no City record is kept of when the sign was put on the street. Requiring a permit for temporary signs is overkill; requiring notification and the expiration date on the sign itself would partially solve the time limit problem. Changing the word "cumulative" to "consecutive" would complete the solution to the time limit problem. Other cities do not use the word "cumulative" presumably because it's too difficult to track.They use the word "consecutive" which produces a specific date that can be easily checked Other city codes also use number of days to measure the time limit. Shifting A -frame or sandwich board signs from the "temporary" category to a "right of way" category (see "note" on back page) and then allowing them on the street all the time except for non -business hours (at night) isn't a time limit:i it's an absurdity. It doesn't solve the proliferation problem and it doesn't solve the potential for pedestrian/sign conflict. Enforcing the existing code time limit might reduce the number of temporary signs on the street at one time, but whether it would appreciably reduce proliferation hasn't been examined.

Here Edmonds sign policy is counter -productive to the desire of a private owner to make Edmond a more attractive town. of solution - remove "premiises" from the "definition"section.;other codes don't bother to define it because it has a common meaning. 3. ADMINISTRATION —"The Community Development director is responsible for administering and enforcing the provisions of this chapter. He or she shall adopt application requirements for sign permits. COMMENTS: I have filed about 20 ""Requests For Enforcement" in the last two+ years in the Bowl, at Westgate and in between on SR104. In the course of following those requests I found that the Edmonds sign code is special interest legislation. In neither wording nor enforcement does the Code emphasize the importance of Packet Pg. 167 7.5.c protecting Edmonds reputation as an attractive, up -scale residential community. Rather, it offers a crutch to those marginal businesses that claim they need cheap advertising signs in the public right-of-way in order to survive. The Planning Dept. recommendations regarding "temporary"" signs don't improve the Code; they make it worse.The temporary sandwich board sign which now litter the Bowl are illegal under two separate chapters of the Code;they don't have street permits ($115)as required by (18.70), and they exceed the time limit on "temporary" signs (20.60). The Planning Dept. recommendations would simply make those signs permanently legal by requiring a permit but eliminating the time limit. Permanent signs have a valid purpose. They identify and locate a town business. Temporary signs do not. If a walker is close enough to a "temporary" sign to read it, the walker is also close enough to the business to read its permanent sign. As identification temporary signs are redundant Iitter.They are really just advertising signs in the public right-of-way and should be prohibited except for one commercial event, and closely monitored, time -limited public events. The following are my suggestions for sign code changes: 1. EMPHASIZE that the Edmonds Sign Code exists to protect the quality of the community a la Carmel. 2,Commercial "temporary" signs are prohibited except for a 60 consecutive day, one-time only business - opening event (some towns allow a limited number of 4-day special events). 3. "Premises" - remove that word from the "definition" section. 4.Permit the use of a temporary sign while a permanent sign is being reviewed by the ADB, and then mounted. 5, Permit permanent directional signs subject to ADB approval. 6. Prohibit pole signs every where; use monument signs instead 7. Have ADB approve permanent signs, and ask it to review the proposed recommendations re calculation, classification and wall -mounted signs. 8. No one shall put any sign in the public right-of-way without first notifying the Planning Dept.

However, because the Planning Dept. keeps no record of when E temporary signs are erected, the time limit can't be calculated and enforced upon citizen Request. In Edmonds the major and most controversial signs, "temporary ones" aren't regulated by time limits or in any other way. Q REMEDY: Make it clear in the code that "temporary" means temporary by enacting the following ordinance: "Time limit for temporary signs —a new business may install a temporary sign on a one-time basis only. No v business shall be allowed to display this type of sign more than once. All temporary signs are to be removed no later than 60 consecutive days from the date of notification to" the Planning Dept.(The words within in quotation marks are from another municipal code.)REMEDY:Require that a business owner shall notify the Planning Dept. of the day on which a sign will be placed on a roof, wall, or public right-of-way and the date it will be removed. Require that the Planning Dept. keep a record of the above information. U) REMEDY —Under the ADMINISTRATION section of the sign code, include a statement that the sign code is enforced only upon citizen request. It's deceptive to let Edmonds residents think that their executive branch enforces the laws enacted by their legislative branch, an age-old assumption. In the "definition" section of the Edmonds sign code, there appears a definition of the word "premises" which is unlike that found in any other municipality. The definition says,"premises is the actual physical area of the lot upon which a sign is posted or displayed EXCEPT within the boundaries of the BC or BD zone in the downtown activity area ... where "premises" shall include any portion of the public sidewalk which fronts upon the lot." What does this exception allow? There was an Old Milltown business that was located on Dayton St. about one-half block East of Fifth St. It had a sign at the Fifth/Dayton intersection which I appealed as an off -premise sign. The City's reply was, "The City's position is that the signs in question (I had appealed sign at Third and Main) are not off -premise, but on - premise DUE to the DEFINITION of "PREMISES (my emphasis), and that their premises extend to the lot of the business, not just the business sidewalk frontage."I was told there are other "lots" in downtown Edmonds where the "premises" definition would apply. I lost the appeal but I learned that every business on the Old Milltown lot is allowed one sign on 5th and one sign on Dayton OR one sign at the corner of Fifth and Dayton. Is that number of signs the desired result of a sign code that seeks to control "visual clutter" in Edmonds, a goal listed four times in the PURPOSE section? REMEDY: Strike all the words that follow EXCEPT in the code definition of "premises". Finally, I suggest that all PERMANENT signs be reviewed and approved by the ADB. The ADB is a quality - control Board, and most of its members are selected for their training in assessing quality; signs and their location quality-sensative issues Packet Pg. 169 7.5.c A few years ago two large permanent signs appeared too high on two facades of Old Milltown. I appealed them and they were removed. The question is, "How did those signs get by Staff? Did they approve them and then not check their final location because they were too busy? I think the ADB has more members and more time to ensure that the conditions of its approval are obeyed.

Based upon a Planning Dept. presentation at an earlier public meeting in December, I expect that only two code revisions will be proposed: 1. minor changes to "permanent" sign regulations and, 2. significant changes to the regulation of "sandwich board" signs which are usually classed as "temporary" E signs. In this e-mail letter I will describe the current confusion that exists in the regulation of signs; later I will suggest code remedies. v c Sign code regulations appear in two separate ECDC chapters: 1. Chapt. 20.60 administered by the Planning in Dept.; and 2. Chapt. 18.70 Street Use and Encroachment Permits administered by the Engineering Dept. Chapt.18.70 defines sandwich board sign as "temporary objects" which require a street permit. A permit costs M $115.; the duration of the permit isn't defined. On 9-2-15 1 appealed three sandwich board signs citing failure to obtain a street permit as the reason for a Request for Code enforcement action. Phil Williams determined that the three businesses I cited did not have street permits; however, no enforcement action was taken because Code revision is in progress. Meantime, all the sandwich board signs that litter the commercial streets of the Bowl (the ONLY location where they're allowed) are illegal, have been for years, and the City of Edmonds is owed thousands of dollars. (Incidentally, in the last couple of years I have appealed signs under Chapt. 20.60. When my requests were upheld, the signs were removed.There was no mention of a code revision in progress.) believe code enforcement is, partly,an issue that is separate from the language of the code itself, but one that should also be addressed.) While the language of Chapt. 18.70 is clear,Chapt. 20.60 is confusing. It defines sandwich boards as "temporary" in one section, and as "permanent" in another. Under the "definitions" section of 20.60, a "temporary" sign is "an allowed portable sign intended for short-term display, not to exceed 60 calendar in any calendar year." ( That's a lax time limit; other municipal codes have a fixed number of CONSECUTIVE days for one-year only. Further along in the code there is a section (20,60.020) titled "General Regulations for PERMANENT signs." In that section there is a chart which "summarizes the types of signs permitted in each neighborhood/district within the City. On that chart sandwich boards are listed as permitted only in Downtownl. I consider sandwich boards a temporary sign. In mid-2014 I filed a Request for Code Enforcement against three temporary signs including two sandwich boards. The reply was, "The City advises businesses of the 60- day limit, but does not monitor the site or count the days a sign is out. The City could not proceed with enforcement without City verified information and could not progress to a hearing or legal proceeding with third party information." I asked whether the City required that businesses notify the Planning Dept. of the date a sign was placed in the public right-of-way or elsewhere. the answer was "No". It is impossible to Packet Pg. 171 7.5.c calculate the 60-day limit without that knowledge, and very difficult to do even if known, because the 60 days are cumulative rather than consecutive. That method of counting days is peculiar to Edmonds.

M I've attached an image of my sign, my building and my logo - so you can see the circle version I would ultimately like to replace my current sign with. I am not encouraging allowing enormous signs that are out of scale with their building/neighbors, but if there is a way to accommodate some variances in the sign code for unique site situations - allowing signs to go a certain amount above a roof line or exceed the size restrictions in some cases - I'd support it.

Real estate signs shall be used only to direct buyers to SPECIFIC properties for sale, rent or lease. Directional signs are permitted as regulated by the current code. Real estate offices may not use temporary signs to advertise their office location (see flocks of little signs at intersections), or to identify their office location with sidewalk signs. The City of Edmonds invites residents to contribute to the maintenance of their corner parks and hanging baskets by making an annual donation. What is the residents incentive to do so when downtown businesses are allowed to plunk their tacky signs on the adjacent public sidewalks? Down town business argues that their business will suffer without signs. How do they prove that? Open their books to justify their signs? Not likely. Should businesses that don't need signs to prosper still be allowed to place junk in the public right -of ways because then they will make still more money? I remind the Council of a long-standing principle of organized business i.e. if you've got a problem, government is not the solution.. Nowhere is that principle more applicable than in your current discussion of the Edmonds Sign Code. Sign codes are about maintaining the quality of a municipality, not private profitability.

If, as alleged, by the Administration, the Planning Dept. doesn't have time to enforce the Code, its responsibility for N evaluating new signs should be removed to save time. The ADB is better positioned to judge quality, and maintaining quality is the goal of a good sign code.I think some Edmonds permanent signs have deteriorated.

I will bring before the Council and Planning Board some of the problems that I have found and their suggested remedies. I' start with the Edmonds Code definition of "premises". I believe the Edmonds code should not include the public sidewalk as part of the definition of "Premises." Other cities don't include a definition of premises, but refer to it indirectly in their on- premise/Off premise definitions as the "property" on which a sign is/isn't to be located. I question the propriety, and possibly the legality of selectively giving use of the public right-of-way to adjacent, private land -owners. The current definition of "premises"also allows other junk to be placed on the public sidewalk e.g. the clothes rack in front of the Savvy Traveler and a small promotional red fire truck in front of Coldwell/Bain reality. These are in addition to their signs and banners. The result is the messiest corner in Edmonds adjacent to the most landscaped area in Edmonds (Fountain, Corner Parks, and Trees).

I do use an A Frame sign and find it Very, Very Helpful and Valuable, especially to announce special features events or lesson in the gallery, like Art Walk My A Frame is not in anyone's way, and I keep it in great condition, and I invested a lot of money into it. I believe it is only fair to let us keep the A Frame Signs, in light of the many restaurant's who get to seat customers outside, taking up way more space than our little A Boards and causing much more congestion, and hazardous situations, which I have witnessed. I am no way saying that they should go away also, but if they get to utilize the side walk for extending there restaurant's seating, I should be able to take up 3 square feet to put out my sign I know the new restaurant The Salt and Iron, gets to use over 150 square feet of sidewalk space taking up over 1/2 of the passible sidewalk If the A board are no longer able to be put out, then the restaurants should also stay inside and not invade the sidewalks. Otherwise I would like to apply to put tables in front of my Gallery space also, then I could place my A Frame Sign on top of it, calling it a table tent .... I think that sounds very fair and reasonable. For me it is a question of what is fair, and if some of the businesses get to use the sidewalk as space, than so should the other merchants.... Many of us shop keepers need all the help we can get to get customers in the door, and the A Frame Signs help me greatly Thank you for your time and consideration of my comments on this important issue Have a great day!

A -frame signs downtown in the public right of way. The City Council has asked my department to look into whether our city's sign code should be amended and, if so, how. We are sensitive to the signage needs of businesses, as well as community preferences. To kick off this effort, we are holding a public meeting August 3, 6 pm, in the Council Chambers (250 5th Ave. N.) and welcome both residents and business representatives. Please feel free to share this invitation with other DEMA members. The intent of the August 3 meeting is to identify sign issues and options. In the fall, the City expects to have a draft of any code changes for further review and input. The draft will then be refined and, as part of more public process, brought to the Planning Board for a recommendation and the City Council for a decision.

I have been involved in many aspects of Edmonds retail including President of DEMA and member of the Chamber Board of Directors. I agree with those that think there needs to be more control over signs and A Boards in Edmonds. I do admit to being guilty of signage indiscretion at times and have some suggestions that I believe would solve most of the issues and still be w fair to all concerned. a� E A Boards: _ One A Board per business location, no more than 3' tall and 21/2 ' wide. All A Boards must be within 5 feet of the building housing the business and they must come in at closing. They cannot block any public walkway, curb or ramp. They Q cannot be placed on property planted by the city or parks dept. This would be a city wide code and include all business including Real estate. An open house sign would be placed within v 5' of the home for sale. Event promotion boards would not be allowed. a� i) Signage: Two signs per Business, both attached to the business foot print not the building footprint. This pertains to buildings that M house multiple business. Hwy 99 signs would be larger than downtown core signs. Windows are at the business owners M r discretion. These simple changes would put an end to the following: The Restaurant that puts a 5' sign in the handicap ramp at the fountain in front of Starbucks and never brings it in. The store that puts 4 A Boards up on 4 separate corners, 1 block apart, 7 days a week. He does not even own a corner business. The gift store west of the theater that puts an A Board in the corner garden on 5th at the fountain. The 3 businesses closer to 6th that bring signs down to both sides of 5th The Realtor who puts 4 A Boards at each corner of 5th at the fountain for open houses and broker events The store that has draped itself with banners and signs. The solome courses pedestrians must negotiate on may of our sidewalks all over town. The list goes on. The solutions must be all inclusive and fair to commerce.

My question to the Planning Board is How can the 60-day cumulative period, each year requirement be enforced when the Planning Department has no record of the signs, and third -party (complainant) information isn't accepted at a hearing or legal proceeding? The Edmonds situation is aggravated because its Code requires more monitoring. Other towns a forbid temporary signs with two exceptions. a ONE-TIME business opening period of various lengths c (none as long as 60 days) and special events periods measured by a few days. U My appeal is a good example of a problem that could be corrected quickly. Temporary signs are the c worst visual offenders, and, for practical purposes, all temporary signs in Edmonds are permanent. I respectfully suggest that the Board adopt a piece -meal approach to correcting the sign code. One M section of the code doesn't hinge upon another.

I shoot my ideas into the air, they'll fall to earth I know not where (the City Council, perhaps? in this century, maybe). PURPOSE of the sign code: To maintain Edmonds reputation as an attractive residential community by protecting it from visual blight. I think the following changes should be made to the Edmonds sign code: TEMPORARY signs shall not be permitted anywhere at any time except: 1. to announce a new business opening - for a 60 CONSECUTIVE day period in the first year of operation only, the 60 day period to begin the day the business license is issued. 2. to promote a special event - for four days prior to the event and a one -day clean-up following the event. 3. Three of the following TYPES of TEMPORARY signs may be used for the opening and the special events: a) sandwich board b. feather (banner on a tall vertical pole) c)banners d)pennants e)small placards on a stick used at intersections There shall be no "indeterminable" lengths of time for "TEMPORARY" signs. There is a stigma attached to signs and their temporary use is a privilege granted to business for a strictly limited time PERMANENT signs that shall not be permitted anywhere: Pole signs; Blinking signs and movable scrawl signs GENERAL: 1. ALL signs require require a permit; the enforcement period begins on the day the permit is issued. 2. No off -premise signs are permitted 3. The word "premise" should be re -defined. The public right-of-way is NOT a part of the premise 4. All PERMANENT signs must be approved by the ADB. Example of bad sign include but is not limited to: the WALL banners on the Wells Fargo building on 5th; Chanterelle's-west wall'; SNAP Fitness; Claires Pantry -west wall; and the NW corner of 3rd/Dayton. The worst collection of signs are on the: SW corner of Fifth/Main; N. side of Main between 3rd and Forth, and the NE corner of Milltown.

Staff Lead: Shane Hope Department: Development Services Preparer: Diane Cunningham Background/History The City of Edmonds collects impact fees on development projects, as authorized under state law. The revenues may be used only for eligible capital improvements to the City's street and park systems. These fees have always been collected at time of building permit issuance. However, in 2015, the state legislature enacted a new law (ESB 5923) that requires counties, cities, and towns collecting impact fees to adopt a "deferral process" for new single-family detached and attached residential construction. The requirement goes into effect September 1, 2016. Note: The new requirement has nothing to do with impact fee rates -only the timing for collecting the fees. Any consideration of revising rates would be the subject for a different Council meeting. Staff Recommendation For Council to review the draft language for the collection process and indicate any questions or comments. Narrative The State's new impact fee deferral requirement follows several years of lobbying by the residential building industry. The builders had objected to paying impact fees prior to selling the new housing they were creating. Cities had maintained that trying to collect impact fees after a house was already built and new owners had closed on the purchase of their home, would very difficult --not to mention, confusing for buyers. In 2015, compromise legislation was adopted that gave local governments three options for deferring impact fee collection. The options allow impact fee payment for single-family housing to be deferred until: 1. City's final inspection; 2. City's issuance of the certificate of occupancy; or 3. Closing of the first sale of the property. Any of the options requires a change to the local impact fee regulations. The City's best interest is served by obtaining the impact fees in a simple manner during the construction process --and collecting from the developer, rather than a new homeowner. Therefore, staff is proposing Option 1. Draft text for an ordinance is attached that would amend the City's park and transportation impact fee regulations to implement Option 1 for single-family housing (detached or attached). With this option, the City would allow impact fees to be collected at the time of final inspection of a single-family development project. (Builders of single-family housing could still pay impact fees at the time of Packet Pg. 197 7.6 building permit issuance if they choose.) Impact fees for multifamily housing and commercial construction would continue to be required at the time of building permit issuance. Under the City's existing regulations, the collection of park impact fees is addressed in Chapter 3.36 EMC, while the collection of transportation impact fees is addressed in Title 18 ECDC (Chapter 18.82). The proposed regulatory language combines the process for collecting both park and transportation impact fees into one chapter (Chapter 3.36 EMC) under the Revenue title of the Municipal Code. Attachment 1 shows the language for a revised Chapter 3.36 (Park Impact Fees) that pulls in language from Chapter 18.82 (Traffic Impact Fees) and adds the proposed new "Option 1" for the impact fee collection process. In addition, the text specifically authorizes the City to collect an administrative fee when impact fees are collected. [Currently, the impact fees go entirely into a capital account and no additional amount is allowed to reimburse the cost for City staff to administer the process.] The administrative fee would need to be adopted by separate resolution. Attachment 2 is the ordinance template language (with "WHEREASES", etc.). The proposed language in Attachment 1 does not change other existing Edmonds impact fee policies. For example, the current policy remains that would provide an exemption from park impact fees for low-income housing provided by non -profits. However, the same exemption was not originally adopted for transportation impact fees and the proposed code language does not change that policy. At a later time, the City Council may consider other types of impact fee changes, including a rate change. However, the current proposal sticks closely with existing policies, except to add the new deferral option for collecting impact fees and to allow an administrative fee to be charged at the time of collection. At the June 28 public meeting, the City Council may review and discuss the draft code amendments. Then, on July 5, the draft amendments --in ordinance format --will be reviewed by the City Council . The Council may adopt the Ordinance at that time (with any revisions) or send it to a subsequent Consent Calendar.

The city council of the city of Edmonds (the "council") hereby finds and determines that new growth and development in the city of Edmonds will create additional demand and need for public facilities in the city of Edmonds, and the council finds that new growth and development should pay a proportionate share of the cost of new facilities needed to serve the new growth and development. The city of Edmonds has conducted extensive studies documenting the procedures for measuring the impact of new developments on public facilities, has prepared the rate study and procedures guide for park impact fees, has prepared the rate study and procedures guide for transportation impact fees, and hereby incorporates these studies into this title by reference. Therefore, pursuant to Chapter 82.02 RCW, the council adopts the ordinance codified in this chapter to assess impact fees for parks and streets. The provisions of this chapter shall be liberally construed in order to carry out the purposes of the council in establishing the impact fee program. These fees can and will only be applied to projects resulting from city-wide development growth. These fees cannot be used to mitigate existing shortfalls of the park system or street system.

CITY CLERK, SCOTT PASSEY 3 Packet Pg. 214 7.7 City Council Agenda Item Meeting Date: 06/28/2016 Urban Forest Management Plan Update (10 min.) Staff Lead: Shane Hope Department: Development Services Preparer: Diane Cunningham Background/History The Edmonds Comprehensive Plan requires the City to develop an Urban Forest Management Plan by the end of 2017. The City Council approved $65,000 in the 2016 Budget and $65,000 in the 2017 Budget for this purpose. A consultant will be hired this summer to begin work on the Plan. Staff Recommendation For the City Council to concur that the scope of the Urban Forest Management Plan should include some limited issues related to managing trees on private properties. Narrative Before issuing a Request for Qualifications, staff wants to confirm with the City Council certain aspects of the Plan's scope. Clearly, the Plan should address managing trees on City -owned properties and right-of-way. These are the locations where the City has the most control and responsibility over what happens. The City's park system has an especially expansive inventory of trees that directly affects the public and our community's character. Trees on public land and right-of-way will need continued protection from diseases, pests, conflicting vegetation (such as ivy), and unwanted human activity. Over time, some trees will need to be removed and/or replaced. The anticipated Urban Forest Management Plan will provide specific guidance and options on how to meet key goals for public lands and right-of-way. An Urban Forest Management Plan can also guide City policies for managing trees on private property. However, staff assumes that private properties will not be a main focus of the Edmonds Urban Forest Management Plan. Rather, the Plan can address certain limited issues for private property, such as an assessment of tree management issues and recommendations related to the wildlife habitat areas within the City. This topic was brought up during the recent update of the Critical Area Regulations. For example, as part of developing the Urban Forest Management Plan, wildlife habitat corridors can be mapped and guidance identified to protect trees and native vegetation in these areas, including on private property. The guidance could later be implemented through either City regulations or public education -or some combination. In addition, the Plan could discuss issues about tree management related to scenic views. Finally, the Urban Forest Management Plan is proposed to include some overall assessment of the City's tree canopy. The exact nature of this assessment will depend on available resources and technology options. Note: The Parks and Recreation Department and the Public Works Department will be very involved in the development of the Urban Forest Management Plan. The Development Services Department will Packet Pg. 215 7.7 have the role of managing the project overall and assisting with private property issues. Packet Pg. 216
