Agenda Topic: Interurban Trail
r
Comments: Councilmembers: I have sent emails to several of you over the past few years, together
with several emails to our Parks department, regarding the Interurban Trail and it's connection/entry to
E
E
MLT's Ballinger Park. The point of that correspondence was to request coordination of our Parks
v
department with MLT's Parks department regarding the Interurban Trail and Ballinger Park entry along
2
74th Ave W. For the last several years, entry from Edmonds into the park has been on a mud path
3
through a hole in a chain link fence, dodging blackberry vines. I thought my concerns had been
a
addressed in the PROS Plan when "In the end, the council unanimously approved an amendment to
r
work with the City of Mountlake Terrace to explore recreational opportunities on the Edmonds side of
L
Lake Ballinger." (That is a quote from MEN, June 8 2022. ) I regret to inform you that the current version
r
of the site plan for MLT's planned 2023/24 improvements to Ballinger Park completely omits access to
Edmonds or the Interurban Trail. MLT's revised site plan differs from the site plan that was circulated for E
E
public comment a few years ago when the improvements were designed. The original site plan included (°
a 6 foot asphalt trail connecting to the Interurban Trail. The current plan omits this trail connection.
Was our Parks Department asleep at the wheel when MLT amended their site plan? This is a pretty big
deal for the residents east of Hwy 99. It would be helpful if the Council would look into it. Will our Parks
department "explore recreational opportunities" as stated in the PROS Plan or will the residents east of
Hwy 99 continue to trudge through the mud to access MLT's park?

Agenda Topic: staff memo on page 438 of Sept 17, 2023 meeting packet
Comments: Council, The staff memo on page 438 of today's meeting pack describes Resolution 1367
about the intent to remove the Council's and other citizen volunteer board's quasi-judicial role in permit
processing. The staff memo is misleading from my perspective because it only provides a copy of the
2016 resolution, and none of the council meeting discussion on that date. Most importantly, the memo
does not mention the detailed work done in 2018 and 2019 to develop the content of Ordinance 4154. 1
have pasted below a section from pages 8-9 of the approved meeting minutes from Aug 9, 2016 -the
date Res 1367 was passed. COUNCIL PRESIDENT JOHNSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
TEITZEL, TO MOVE RESOLUTION 1367 TO THE CONSENT AGENDA, A RESOLUTION OF CITY COUNCIL CITY
OF EDMONDS EXPRESSING INTENT TO REMOVE THE CITY COUNCIL AND OTHER VOLUNTEER CITIZEN
BOARDS FROM QUASI-JUDICIAL PERMIT PROCESSING TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW UPON
ADOPTION OF THE REVISED EDMONDS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE. Council President Johnson
said this vote is just showing intent and the Council will have an opportunity to make a final decision in
several months when the code is brought to the Council. <snip- discussion of an example of
Councils€"'s legal risk from a case against the City of Spokane> COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED,
SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER TIBBOTT, TO AMEND THE MOTION TO TAKE A VOTE ON THIS
TONIGHT. AMENDMENT CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. UPON ROLL CALL, MAIN MOTION AS AMENDED
CARRIED (4-3), COUNCIL PRESIDENT JOHNSON AND COUNCILMEMBERS MESAROS, TEITZEL AND
TIBBOTT VOTING YES; AND COUNCILMEMBERS NELSON, FRALEY-MONILLAS AND BUCKSHNIS VOTING
NO <end of Aug 9, 2016 minutes> Note that Council President explained the resolution showed intent -
it was not a vote to remove the quasi-judicial role from the ADB (or the Council). The more informative
document is Ordinance 4154. It is 56 pages long and covers several procedural changes. It was passed
on July 2, 2019. Quite a lot of time passed between the time the Council declared their intent in Res
1367 and when the code language was presented to the Council. The ordinance is quite clear in the
description of each decision type in Sec 20.01.001 and is also clear in the examples of each decision type
in Attachment A. Design review by the ADB is a type III -A decision and the ADB has a quasi-judicial role
when doing that work. It is appropriate to revisit the role of any volunteer board since the complexity
of Edmonds governance has increased significantly. But when that work to re -visit a past decision is
tee'd up by a staff memo, I ask that the full background also be presented to the Council. regards,
Theresa Hollis Edmonds resident

protocol for these inclement weather events was underway. It was an agencywide response to ensure
safety for customers and employees and real time communications.
Free fare would be offered New Year's Eve, December 31, 2022, on buses, DART, and Zip services. This

PUBLIC COMMENTS
Fred Ehrlich, Corinthian Yacht Club, commented that the club has sailboats in the marina and sponsors events like
sailboat races and cruises. The club is undergoing a change of officers, as well as the way it conducts its sailboat
races. In the past, the club has enjoyed the Port's cooperation, and it is hoped that support will continue into the future.

7.4.e
Commissioner Preston asked if the Corinthian Yacht Club has a winter event, and Mr. Ehrlich answered that there
will be races every other Sunday starting in February. During the summer, races are conducted on Wednesday
evenings. The races require the club to put out buoys that are held in place by lines and anchors, and signaling is done
with flags. The club is looking for a new location for equipment storage, as its current shipping container has been
displaced by the new Administration/Maintenance Building. He is hoping for Port assistance to address this situation.
He concluded that the club attracts good publicity for Edmonds by putting on races throughout the year. Some of the
races are very widely attended by boats from the Puget Sound area, as well as some Canadian boats. Their biggest
race is the Foul Weather Bluff event, which was moved to Kingston two years ago due to lack of space at the Edmonds
marina.
There were no other public comments.
PRESENTATION BY ANNIE CRAWLEY ON MARINA CLEANUP PROGRAM
Mr. Baker introduced Annie Crawley, who has been leading cleanup dives at the Port of Edmonds for a number of
years. The cleanup dives are a unique part of the Port's environmental program. He advised that Ms. Crawley was
present to report on the most recent dive, as well as share some of the other educational endeavors she has going
around the Edmonds community.
Annie Crawley reminded that every breath we take connects us to the ocean because it produces 50% to 70% of the
oxygen we breath. Sometimes we forget this connection and think that everyone knows what we know, but they don't.
She commented that the Port's environmental program is unique but stressed the importance of expanding the effort
beyond the marina. She provided an aerial view of the Edmonds community, noting there isn't a lot of green space.
The Marsh is very unique in the community, and she thanked the Port for partnering with the City and the community
to protect it. She noted that the youth who participate in the dives come from throughout the region, and they do it to
raise awareness. For every diver in the water, there are usually two volunteers on the surface. Safety is a very
important responsibility, as divers are as young as 10 years old. The environment is very silty, and she has to mitigate
the danger so that all youth divers are diving with professionals. She usually does a survey dive prior to the actual
event. They are always surprised by what they bring up from the water. She shared pictures that were taken at the
event, and said she believes most of the rubbish going into the ocean from the Edmonds community is accidental.
On a bigger level, Ms. Crawley advised that there is a movement to clean up the tire reefs that were put in Puget Sound
and the Salish Sea, including one near the fishing pier in Edmonds. Commissioner Preston asked if the tires could be
pulled up in one piece or if they would disintegrate. Ms. Crawley answered that the tires would likely come up in one
piece, but they would be heavy with a lot of growth. She suggested they could do a reconnaissance dive to see how
much growth was on them. Ms. Crawley asked that the Port partner with the City to come up with a solution and be a
leader in the movement to remove the tire reefs. She noted that there are a number of reef -safe systems that could
replace the current tire reef.
Ms. Crawley also suggested the Port work with businesses and tenants to come up with ten ideas to go green in the
marina. Rather than simply identifying the problems, they need to identify solutions to the problems. She shared an
example of laundry soap that comes in sheets that dissolve in the washing machine, eliminating the need for large
plastic containers. She said there are a number of products available that the Port could be a leader within the
community. This could stretch out to partnerships that get the entire population involved. She recommended the
Commissioners watch a show by John Oliver about this issue, noting that it is really up to corporations to change their
packaging.
Ms. Crawley said she visits classrooms, letting the children know how important their voices are. She won a small
grant to purchase a book and do a pilot program in an Edmonds School District classroom, and the plan is to invite
the students to the April cleanup dive. She said she is also working on projects with a number of different scientists,
including conservation biologists. She recently spent three months on a sailboat off the coast of Columbia working
on a project. She recalled that she spoke at a Port Commission meeting in 2018 when the Commission asked what
they should be doing about climate change. At the time, it was a new concept, but it is now built into everything they
are doing. The small things they do in the community are important, and the Port Commissioners can be leaders in so
many things that will influence the community.

Mr. McChesney asked if the divers are finding less each time they dive in an area. Ms. Crawley said they haven't
repeated in any area yet. However, because of the silty environment, visibility can be difficult and they never get
everything up during a dive. They simply get what they can, and they plan to begin repeat dives soon. Mr. McChesney
asked what happens to items that are too heavy to pull up, such as batteries, and Ms. Crawley answered that they have
only found a few batteries. From a safety perspective, they don't bring up things that are too heavy, and they aren't
acting in a role of commercial diving. The dives raise amazing public awareness for the community, and people look
forward to them.
Ms. Crawley pointed out that, while the Port is held to a high standard from an environmental standpoint, residential
households are not held to that same strict standard. The Port is downstream from properties uphill, and the herbicides,
pesticides, fertilizers, etc. that are used by private property owners flow down to the marsh and ocean via stormwater
runoff. She suggested the climate of the community is such that the Port could gain support of a well -thought-out
program. She offered to provide support to both the Port and the City as they collaborate on programs to help the
community become greener.
Council Member Tibbott suggested that Ms. Crawley provide a similar presentation to the Edmonds City Council.
She could talk about the impact that the uphill properties have on the ocean environment. Ms. Crawley agreed and
stressed the importance of working together. Commissioner Orvis commented that society tends to spend a lot of
money on the superficial things that make them feel good, but they avoid doing the harder things because they are
expensive. The City of Edmonds has done a number of things, including improvements to the water treatment plant,
but there aren't enough communities making the necessary changes. Aside from providing information, Ms. Crawley
said it is important to get the community into action. The Port could be a leader by identifying what else they could
do and then take action.
Commissioner Preston commented that it was impressive how the adults interacted with the youth divers to keep them
safe. It was amazing to watch Ms. Crawley leading and teaching them, as they are the future. Ms. Crawley emphasized
that safety is the most important thing for her. Commissioner Preston suggested that perhaps the WPPA could become
a sponsor of similar dives in other marinas. Ms. Crawley said the special thing about her program is that she knows
all of the divers, and she has trained them on how to dive safely in the marina. While she'd love to see similar dives
in other marinas, there are safety issues that must be considered when diving around boats. Commissioner Harris
suggested, and the other Commissioners concurred, that they could share details about the program's success at the
spring WPPA Environmental Conference.
Commissioner Harris said she loves how Ms. Crawley interacts and teaches the students, increasing their confidence.
She also appreciates all of the work done by the divers to clean up the marina.
N DOCK ELECTRICAL REPAIR CONTRACT 2022-432 — APPROVE AS COMPLETE
Mr. McChesney recalled that the Commission approved an emergency resolution to address the electrical problems
on N Dock. However, supply chain issues delayed the work and the emergency resolution was mooted by
circumstances. A contract was issued to Valley Electric Co. in September, and the project is now complete. It has
been inspected and is operational. He recommended the Commission approve the contract with Valley Electric Co.
in the amount of $55,986 plus sales tax (Contract Number 2022-432) as complete. He noted that more work is needed
on the electrical junction boxes from B through H Docks.
COMMISSIONER ORVIS MOVED THAT THE COMMISSION ACCEPT CONTRACT NUMBER 2022-432
WITH VALLEY ELECTRIC CO. IN THE AMOUNT OF $55,986.00 PLUS TAX FOR THE N DOCK
ELECTRICAL FEEDER REPAIR CONTRACT AS COMPLETE. COMMISSIONER HARRIS SECONDED
THE MOTION, WHICH CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
At the request of Commissioner Grant, Mr. McChesney reviewed that it was initially thought the entirety of N Dock
plus the extension would have to be replaced at an estimated cost of $100,000. Because of the delay time in getting
parts, etc., further testing discovered that the only part in failure mode was the N Dock extension, and the main feeder
down N Dock was still good. That is why the contract cost is less than what was originally discussed with the
Commission.

APPROVAL OF INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN SOUTH SNOHOMISH COUNTY FIRE AND
RESCUE REGIONAL FIRE AUTHORITY AND PORT OF EDMONDS FOR MOORAGE OF A FIRE
RESCUE BOAT
Ms. Drennan reviewed that in 2006, the City of Edmonds received grant funding to purchase a fire/rescue boat and
expressed a desire to moor it at the Port of Edmonds. On March 27, 2006, the Commission authorized the Executive
Director to sign an Interlocal Agreement between the City and the Port for moorage of a fire/rescue boat. In 2010, the
City contracted with the South County Fire and Rescue Regional Fire Authority to provide fire, emergency, medical
and fire prevention services to the City and the boat was transferred to them. This past summer, staff realized that the
most recent interlocal agreement for moorage of the boat expired in 2018, and they have been working with Deputy
Chiefs Isotalo and Eastman to update the agreement. Staff is recommending the Commission approve the Interlocal
Agreement for moorage of the fire rescue boat.
Mr. McChesney noted that there have been no material changes from the agreement that was originally signed in 2006.
Ms. Drennan agreed that only minor changes have been made.
Commissioner Grant asked if the insurance amounts are current, and Ms. Drennan answered affirmatively.
Commissioner Grant asked if the agreement has been reviewed by the Port Attorney, and Ms. Drennan answered that
the Port Attorney reviewed the original 2006 agreement. Commissioner Orvis pointed out that the previous agreement
was with the City, and the new agreement will be with the South County Fire and Rescue Regional Fire Authority. In
2006, the original thought was that the Port would offer the moorage free of charge, but it was later discovered that
wasn't legally allowed. That is why the agreement includes a provision that they will clean the breakwater and share
in maintenance costs.

2023 COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS — TO BE APPROVED ON JANUARY 9, 2023
Commissioner Johnston said that, from his discussions with Commissioners, they want to maintain the same
responsibilities as this year. He said there has been some discussion about re -energizing or standing up a new
committee looking at strategic planning and real estate purchase possibilities. Mr. McChesney suggested that all of
these issues could fall under the newly -named Economic Development/Real Estate/Business Development
Committee.
Commissioner Preston asked if the Snohomish County Tourism Bureau is still active, and Mr. McChesney answered
that the Tourism Bureau was primarily absorbed by Snohomish County. However, the Sports Promotion Element is

still active and funded differently from how the Bureau was funded. Ms. Williams is the Port's delegate to the Bureau,
which meets once a year as a formality.
Commissioner Harris commented she has had very limited engagement with the Edmonds Citizens Economic
Development Commission, as the Wednesday evening meetings are very difficult for her to attend. She suggested
they designated another Commissioner as the lead, and Commissioner Preston agreed to fulfill this role.
Commissioner Orvis advised that it is important for the Commission to keep track of the WPPA's Legislative
Committee activities. Due to his obligations at home, he suggested they may want to change the delegate. Although
she is listed as an alternate for this committee, Commissioner Harris advised that Commissioner Orvis has attended
most of the meetings. She said she would be happy to take on a larger role. Commissioner Orvis agreed to continue
as the representative, with the help of Commissioner Harris.
Commissioner Johnston agreed to work with Mr. McChesney to finalize the committee assignments for final approval
at the January 9' meeting.
2023 COMMISSION MEETING SCHEDULE — TO BE APPROVED ON JANUARY 9, 2023
Mr. McChesney presented the 2023 Commission Meeting Schedule, which would be approved by the Commission at
the January 9' meeting, as well.
Since there were no significant agenda items pending, the Commission, Mr. McChesney recommended the
Commission cancel the December 27th meeting. Commissioner Orvis asked if a formal meeting is required in order
for the Commission to approve Accounts Payable. Ms. Drennan answered affirmatively, but explained that the
Commission previously approved a resolution that allows staff to send out checks prior to Commission approval. The
Commissioners agreed to cancel the meeting as recommended by staff.
COMMISSIONER ORVIS MOVED THAT THE COMMISSION CANCEL THE DECEMBER 27, 2022
MEETING. COMMISSIONER JOHNSTON SECONDED THE MOTION, WHICH CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.
NEW ADMINISTRATION/MAINTENANCE BUILDING UPDATE
Mr. McChesney announced that the construction of the new building remains on schedule. He referred to the Staff
Report, which provides an itemized list of the change orders approved to date for a total cost of $26,670. He hopes to
keep change orders to a minimum, but he anticipates there will be more.
CITY OF EDMONDS REPORT
Council Member Tibbott said he found Ms. Crawley's report on the recent cleanup dive to be interesting. He also
appreciated the Commission's response to the broader environmental impact the Port can have in the region. He
reported that the City Council passed a budget item, using grant funding from the State, to reduce the level of pollutants
flowing from SR-104 into the marsh. Commissioner Preston asked where the additional filtration would be located,
and Council Member Tibbott answered that it would be in the storm drains. Mr. McChesney added that the City also
plans to do something at the outfalls. Other than providing some grant funding, Commissioner Grant asked if the
State would get involved in other ways. Council Member Tibbott said it isn't likely. He explained that there aren't a
lot of other cities that are impacted by stormwater runoff from a highway flowing into a sensitive environmental area
such as the marsh. He suggested they could tell the story and see if any of the legislators take interest.
Commissioner Grant referred to the Waterfront Study, which is part of the City's Comprehensive Plan Update and
voiced concern that there haven't been any meetings with stakeholders. He noted that the Port may not be in support
of some of the things brought up in the plan. As a stakeholder, the City needs to engage the Port in the discussions.
He also voiced concern that, other than a brief initial discussion, the City's Planning Board hasn't really gotten started
on the Comprehensive Plan update. Council Member Tibbott responded that Makers did the initial piece (Waterfront
Study), but the City needs to hire a consultant to take it the rest of the way through the Comprehensive Plan process.
The City's Planning Division Manager, Kernen Lien, has advised City Council that all consultants with waterfront

7.4.e
expertise are already engaged. He suggested the State of Washington needs to stagger the assignment because cities
with waterfronts are being left without the needed expertise to update their plans.
Commissioner Orvis said one benefit of serving on the Washington Public Port Association (WPPA) Legislative
Committee is that you get a sense of what is coming down the road. Ports felt the heat in 2005 with their boatyards.
Edmonds has been proactive in dealing with stormwater because stormwater flows directly into the Sound, but other
cities in the State, particularly those with waterfronts, will soon have to start addressing stormwater issues, too. The
regulations that have been applied to ports and other smaller entities for a number of years will soon start being applied
to the larger cities.
Council Member Tibbott advised that a proposal to do green streets in Edmonds was not included in the 2023 budget
because the price tag was too hefty (about $4 million). Before going in that direction, the City Council wanted more
information about the benefits. His comment at the last Council meeting was that, if it is 70% more than doing a
typical sidewalk with some garden features, he would rather do a sidewalk to beautify an area without the stormwater
collection elements and then spend the excess on stormwater treatment in the parts of the City that need it the most.
EDMONDS YACHT CLUB REPORT
Andor Boeck, Edmonds Yacht Club (EYC), thanked Ms. Williams and Mr. Baker, who did a fantastic job with the
presentation they made to the EYC regarding the North Seawall and Portwalk Project. He also thanked the Port for
their cooperation for the Holiday on the Docks Event, which has been a great success. He said the Board's general
consensus is that they would like to know more than two years out on the project. It is important for them to consider
how to approach customers about the possibility that there could be some impact if they rent the facility during
construction. He noted that the tentative plan is to start the project in mid-2024, and asked when the Port would have
a better idea of the timeline. Mr. McChesney answered that permit issuance is the major milestone that will provide
a lot more clarity for the schedule. The Port can't do anything from a design point of view until they know what the
permit package looks like. They are hoping to have the permits in hand sometime in the first half of 2023. At that
time, Port staff could report back to the EYC membership with a lot more clarity on project timing.
Mr. Boeck asked how soon the Port could start breaking ground once permits have been issued. Mr. McChesney said
he anticipates a two-year timeframe after permits before the project will start. He explained that timing will be driven
by financial considerations, as the Port still needs to perfect its financial plan, which will include a combination of
reserves, tax -supported bonds, and grants. Once the permits are in hand, Mr. Boeck agreed it would be helpful for
Port staff to pay another visit to the EYC Board to discuss project timing.
Commissioner Orvis said his friend, who is a Puget Sound pilot, has voiced concern that it has gotten a little less safe
for sailboats and merchant vessels. He referred to the Puget Sound Sailboat Safety Regulations, which have been
adopted by the Seattle Yacht Club, Shilshole Bay Yacht Club, Sloop Tavern Yacht Club and the Corinthian Yacht
Club of Seattle. It seems that more and more sail boaters believe the myth that sailboats always have the right-of-
way. He suggested that perhaps the EYC could review the rules with their members before boating season starts next
year. Mr. Boeck agreed that would be a good topic to present at a membership meeting.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Mr. McChesney reported that there is a piece of channel iron along the top of the Mid Marina Breakwater that is
cracked, corroded and failing and will need to be replaced. A preliminary condition survey was done a few weeks
ago, and sometime in January he will bring a proposal to the Commission to change it out. He explained that the
channel iron pins all of the vertical piles together at the top. If it fails, wave action will increase and the life of the
structure will be significantly diminished. The work will have to be contracted out, and a barge -mounted derrick will
likely be required. He said staff would be happy to assist Commissioners in a visual inspection of the situation.
COMMISSIONER'S COMMENTS AND COMMITTEE REPORTS
Commissioner Johnston reported on his attendance at the annual Washington Public Port Association (WPPA) Annual
Meeting. Highlights included:

7.4.e
• A keynote speech by Denny Heck, Washington State Lieutenant Governor, who talked about the need for
everyone to get along to get things done.
• A roundtable discussion on changing from a gas tax to a vehicle miles traveled formula. The state is currently
testing a number of mechanisms, including some very intrusive ones of tracking how far a person drives each
year so they can apply taxes to that distance or applying global positioning systems (GPS) to cars. Some less
intrusive ways include taking a picture of your odometer on January 1" and December 31 ". The intent is that
this tax will eventually replace the gas tax. However, it won't necessarily be dedicated to roads.
• A session on the changing agricultural outlet in the State of Washington as the climate changes. Washington
State is now the premier agricultural region in the west, and it is anticipated this will continue.
• Immerging from the work done by ports is a very strong recognition of public access as being one of the
main missions of public ports.
• The WPPA has gone through some significant leadership changes over the last few years, and Patsy Martin
did a great job stepping in as the Interim Executive Director to reorganize the group, solidify the staff and
make the organization more efficient. Eric ffitch was recently hired as the WPPA's new Executive Director.
Commissioner Grant said he also enjoyed the WPPA Annual Meeting. The roundtable discussions were good, and
there were some interesting topics. It was good to talk to the new Executive Director, as well. He said he currently
spends most of his time watching budgets and codes at the City of Edmonds, and he was pleased that the City Council
put the green street program on hold for the time being. The thing that bothered him was that they wanted the money
but forgot to tell the legislators what they would do with it. He said he hopes that the good relationship between the
Port and the City can continue.
Commissioner Preston thanked Ms. Crawley for her work on the cleanup dive and for the presentation she made to
the Commission earlier in the meeting.
Commissioner Preston suggested that staff put out another social media blast for the Port's holiday event on December
15t'.
Commissioner Preston said he also attended the WPPA Annual Meeting, where he particularly enjoyed the roundtable
discussion about derelict vessels.
As plastics collect in the marina, Commissioner Preston suggested the Port take a serious look at purchasing some
skimmers. Ms. Drennan said they looked into them at one point, but found they were costly and impractical.

4. Action Items
a. Agenda Bill: SCT 2023 Dues Assessment FINAL
Cynthia Pruitt reported that the 2023 SCT expenses were slightly less than discussed in June.
She showed the dues rate needed to balance those expenses. Members asked about any
changes since the Steering Committee's discussion of a memo distributed in May, about
forecasted expense into future years, and whether the dues after 2027 would be increased
dramatically again. She replied "no" in both cases.
Bryan Wahl moved final approval of the 2023 dues increase of 19.5%. Josh Dugan seconded the
motion and it passed unanimously.
b. Agenda Bill: Review and Approve Additional Funding to the 2022 Countywide
STP/CMAQ Contingency Projects List
Doug McCormick explained that since the June 15t" approval of the ICC's project priorities for
STP/CMAQ funds it became clear that additional funds were available. The ICC is recommending
that three projects on the "Contingency" funding list be approved for referral to PSRC.
Members asked how projects were identified for the list to begin with, and how the call for
projects was sent out.
Bryan Wahl moved to approve the additional funding to the Countywide STP/CMAQ funding
contingency project list. Patrick Decker seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.

Council President Tibbott described the interview process.
The Council interviewed Paul Cogley for appointment to Art Commission position #7 (responses in
italics):
Most of my life I've led a double life as a musician and an engineer. I've played in bands all my life. In
2016 I was working at Boeing as an engineer and took early retirement. I'm now a professional
musician; I recorded an album with friends, I built a studio. In 2020, I released an album with music that
I played, wrote and recorded. That album did surprisingly well and I released another album in August

2022 that has done remarkably well. I decided if I am going to be a local superstar, I want to develop a
platform that is inclusive and celebrates diversity, My Instagram account reflects that and features
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Juneteenth, etc. I realized I wanted to dedicate the rest of my life to creating
music that unifies people. I saw the opportunity to apply for the Arts Commission as a great chance to
push that further.
Councilmember Buckshnis asked his thoughts about the Creative District. I've read the Creative Plan for
Edmonds and I think I fall right into it because there is discussion about bringing different culture music
into Edmonds. Different culture music is a great opportunity to expose people. Different culture music
includes different time signatures, weird musical scales, it changes minds and rewires brains. My main
agenda is to encourage that.
Councilmember Olson commented there is nothing in his resume for her to ask questions about; he seems
like a perfect fit and she is excited he came forward. She congratulated him on his albums. She is always
blown away by the multifaceted aspect of every engineer she ever meets.
Councilmember Chen recognized his unique qualification and mixture of skills as an engineer and
musician and releasing three albums. He looked forward to him serving on the Arts Commission.
Councilmember Nand commented volunteers are what make the City run so well. There is a lot of public
art investment in the Creative District which is centered around Edmonds bowl. She asked his ideas for
distributing the reach of public art to all neighborhoods in the City. Marketing is everything. Of all the
places I've lived in the world and in the States, Edmonds is the greatest place for arts. People recognize
Edmonds as a creative center, anything that builds on that and spreads that word would be a good thing.
I'm not sure if there has been an effort in Edmonds to bring in difficult culture music, that is on my
agenda. Councilmember Nand commented there has been great engagement with sculpture and public art
installations such as with the Indigenous community for example, but she was unsure there was much of a
music aspect so it would be interesting to pursue that.
Councilmember Teitzel appreciated his interest in music, commenting music is a key part of the arts
community as reflected by the ECA, concerts in the park, music at markets, etc. He asked what kind of
music he played and what instrument he played. I'm primarily a guitar player but I've been into
keyboards for about 20 years. I've always played in typical Seattle rock bands and have only marketed
my music through Spotify and Instagram. With Spotify, it is possible to look at the metrics of who is
listening to your music and where they live. I'm astonished to see that my music has a global appeal. As
my accent reveals, I'm not American born, but having lived and worked all over the world, I've been
exposed to different things which has made me somewhat of a global musician. I'm excited about different
culture music, recognizing what it has done for me.
Councilmember Paine commented she listened to his music and found it really awesome. She
congratulated him on doing a beautiful job of failing retirement. She loved the direction of his thinking
because there are many wonderful opportunities in Edmonds to bring in different cultural aspects and to
have a broader array of musical opportunities. She was happy he would be working with the Arts
Commission. She pointed out the Lunar New Year celebration in Edmonds on Saturday which will
include a lion dance and should be a lot of fun. My wife and I plan to attend.
Council President Tibbott advised approval of his appointment to the Arts Commission is on tonight's

Jay Grant, Port of Edmonds commissioner and liaison to the city council, explained Port commissioners
have oversight of Port operations and have encountered some challenges recently. The first is flooding that
occurred for the second time. Public Works Director Antillon gave a great overview at the committee
meeting, but basically concluded there wasn't much more that could be done. More has to be done, because
the flooding resulted in the closure of some businesses in Harbor Square, difficulty reaching some

businesses, and hampered access to the Port. A lot of people have electric cars and unlike a combustion
engine, the batteries are on the bottom and they cannot drive through that much water. He acknowledged
the need to involve WSDOT, but Washington State Ferries have an alternative, they can relocate to the
Unocal property where there are no water problems. Second, the City and Port need to work together on
the waterfront comprehensive plan. Third, there is nearly 1-foot high hump in the joint Port/City parking
lot which is an ADA violation. The City is responsible for maintenance of the parking lot under the
agreement. He recommended the City's public works director talk with the Port's executive director
regarding these issues.
Natalie Seitz, Edmonds, referred to agenda item 9.2, Draft Ordinance Amending ECC 10.01 Board and
Commissions, and stated providing consistent public noticing will be beneficial to the City and having
vacancies clearly identified with clear open and closing date would be a tremendous improvement to the
current process. She recommended the council consider having the mayor interview all candidates deemed
qualified by the council. She did not regret her advocacy over the past two years; there have been times she
was critical of council, speaking on what she believed to be both accurate and needed. This is her role as a
resident. There have also been times when she was critical of the City administration, most recently with
the SEPA determination. She did not regret her advocacy around trees, parks or SEPA and most importantly
equity which connects all these issues. She likes almost everyone she meets and has huge respect for anyone
who chooses public service either on council, boards or the City. Her goal in virtually showing up at council
meetings and to City events is to challenge the council with a different perspective; business as usual is not
acceptable to address equity or the environmental challenges the City faces and it is a universal truth that
change and growth requires discomfort.
Ms. Seitz congratulated the current appointments to the planning board and thanked them in advance for
their time and commitment to the City. There are many important decisions ahead with the comprehensive
plan and she hoped they would put equity for all Edmonds residents at the center of their deliberations and
examine institutional bias with the information they receive. The reasons often given for not investing in
underserved areas of the City are often overlooked when it comes to resourcing wealthier and wider areas.
She urged them to ask themselves why, to question their assumptions and to allow themselves to get
uncomfortable. Planning board members are vested with the ability to change Edmonds for the better and
create a more equitable future for all residents. It is a responsibility for which they have her complete
support and she urged them to use it wisely.

PUBLIC HEARING ON EMERGENCY INTERIM ORDINANCE TO REQUIRE
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN BOARD REVIEW AND BUILDING STEP -BACKS FOR
CERTAIN PROJECTS IN THE GENERAL COMMERCIAL (CG) ZONE
Senior Planner Mike Clugston explained this is a public hearing on the ordinance the council adopted on
December 10, 2022; the council is required to hold a public hearing within 60 days since it was an c
emergency interim ordinance. The ordinance did two things, it created a new process for design review of 16
projects in the CG zone with buildings taller than 35 feet. Currently design review for the CG zone is done o
entirely by staff. New projects with building 35 feet or taller would go to Architectural Design Board n
(ADB). The ordinance also added step back language for those buildings in the CG zone. Step backs were a
covered in a previous version of an interim ordinance, but this language was included with the current N
ordinance. Step backs are not a requirement, but in their review process, the ADB could require them at
their discretion. c
w
Mr. Clugston explained the packet contains Ordinance No. 4283 that the council approved on December =
m
10, 2022 as well as the minutes of that meeting. The packet also includes a resolution from 2016 which E
staff was not completely aware of at the time the emergency ordinance was adopted. Resolution 1367,
adopted in 2016, indicated the council's desire to get the council as well as citizen boards out of making Q
quasi-judicial decisions. Quasi-judicial decisions are when a board or council essentially sit as a judge
listening to land use permits. In the case of the council, that was typically closed record reviews; the council
still hears closed record appeals of conditional use permits and variances that go to the hearing examiner.
No changes were made to the ADB code as a result of Resolution 1367 and the ADB still issues quasi-
judicial decisions although Resolution 1367 indicated the council's intent to remove the ADB from making
those decisions. The current interim ordinance is asking the ADB to do another review so the current
ordinance and Resolution 1367 are somewhat in conflict. The intent of tonight's public hearing is to take
public testimony and issue a resolution with findings in support of the interim ordinance. Staff will then go
back to the planning board over the next few months and bring a recommendation to council for final
regulation.

Public Testimony
Mayor Nelson opened the public hearing.
Judi Gladstone, Edmonds, a resident of the Gateway neighborhood of the Highway 99 subarea, spoke in
support of emergency Ordinance 4283. She felt residents had been heard with the council's recent vote to
approve funding for the SEIS for the Highway 99 subarea plan and sidewalks on 84t' Avenue West between
234' and 238' Streets. She thanked the council for making those a priority. Another demonstration of how
the council is listening to neighborhood concerns is voting to make Ordinance 4823 permanent. The
ordinance is a good solution to address the lack of transition between the CG zone and the single family
residential area identified in the Highway 99 subarea plan in 2017. ADB review of building design over 35
feet allows for the right expertise to guide design elements that soften the transition between the zones and
provides public process and accountability. Voting tonight to approve the code revision adding one more
architect bolsters the ADB's expertise. ADB review in the Highway 99 subarea also allows for parity with
the downtown business district which also has building design review by the ADB. Further, including step
backs in Ordinance 4283 is very important to eliminating a barrier for addressing neighborhood concerns.
The existing code for the ADB in section 3A reads, "The finding of the staff that a proposal meets the bulk
and use requirements of the zoning ordinance shall be given substantial deference and may be overcome
by clear and convincing evidence." This puts the burden on every community whether this is an issue to
produce the clear and convincing evidence required which can require expertise and studies, potentially
requiring more resources than most neighborhood groups have at their disposal. It creates a potentially
unresponsive process for the very residents most impacted by these types of development. She urged the
City to continue their consideration of emergency Ordinance 4283 and make it permanent to maintain the
City and council's commitment to their community.
Theresa Hollis, Edmonds, expressed support for the emergency ordinance and appreciation for the L
persistence shown by council and staff to respond to the neighborhood concerns when large developments
in the Highway 99 planned area raise issues. She reminded council that a significant issue remains; the
planning board recommendation and the council decision in 2018 to eliminate transition zones that existed
around the boundaries of the Highway 99 planned areas. She did not want to wait until the 2024 °
comprehensive plan update and the possible zoning changes that will come with that work effort. She email c
council last week with possible comprehensive plan language to add to Ordinance 4283; if that amendment n
does not occur, she will meet with the planning board to propose a code amendment that requires CG °
Q
buildings on the boundary of an RS zone to use site and building design to transition to the less intensive
residential area. A technical definition of transition is in other cities' codes but is missing from Edmonds'
code. That language is a tool the ADB needs. She asked the council's support for adding the transition r
requirement to the CG code regardless of whether Ordinance 4283 is amended or a code revision vetted w
and forwarded to council by the planning board.
m
Amy June Grumble, Edmonds, a resident on 236t' Street SW, spoke in support of interim Ordinance z
4283. She thanked the council for funding the SEIS for the Highway 99 planning area and for moving up
the timeline for installing badly needed sidewalks on 84t1i Avenue West. She also thanked the council for Q
listening to and coming to their neighborhood to see and discuss the impacts of this development firsthand.
She applauded the idea of involving the ADB in review of projects that intersect with single family zoned
properties. She requested step backs be included in the code revisions as defending the need for them on a
case -by -case basis will be difficult for residents with limited resources. She hoped the council would vote
to make the ordinance permanent.
Stanley Piha, one of owners of the vacant land at the corner of 84t' & 236t'', commented since October 4,
the city council has stopped an application from a builder to develop a market rate multifamily building
totally in compliance with all City codes and provisions of the Highway 99 subarea plan on this vacant

8.2.a
parcel. Blocking the project was first accomplished by enacting the emergency ordinance related to step
backs and now continues with the implementation of an emergency ordinance requiring ADB approval
when none is required under the Highway 99 subarea plan. Also since October 4, there has been a public
outcry from Washington state officials describing the housing and homelessness crisis in the state due to a
lack of affordable housing. Governor Inslee has gone so far as saying a lack of affordable housing drives
the state's homelessness crisis. State Senator Markus Liias expressed to the Snohomish County Alliance
that one obstacle is the permitting process for new projects and supports streamlining the process to
encourage new development. Once property is zoned, projects also need to be built, something that is not
seen in Edmonds; there is a vision, but there need to be units on the ground. While state officials including
the governor describe the housing crisis as the main cause of homelessness and promote ways to encourage
housing so desperately needed, Edmonds' governance and actions to date are exactly the opposite.
Mr. Piha continued, the council's actions discourage building housing and as a result ignore the plight of
the homeless population. The council's actions create an insurmountable barrier to building in the Highway
99 corridor and adding housing to the City's stock as mandated by the GMA which turns a blind eye to the
crisis at hand. Following an extensive public process in 2017, the Highway 99 subareas plan was adopted
to incentivize building in the corridor by removing uncertainty in the permitting process. Passing the
emergency ordinance on tonight's agenda does exactly the opposite and penalizes those considering
building in the corridor. Additionally, a vote to pass the emergency ordinance is simply a vote of no
confidence in the planning director and planning department. The planning director has expressed to council
on numerous occasions the protections in place in the administrative review process to guide projects in the
corridor to their best outcome. Professional planners working with professional designers and builders to
provide housing complimentary to the corridor are the experts, yet by passing this emergency ordinance,
the council's actions undermine that authority. The wordsmithing in the ordinance and ignoring
constructability consequences is a prime example of creating so much confusion and uncertainty that
building in the corridor will come to an immediate halt. Like the prior emergency ordinance, this ordinance
should be vacated.
Dean Williams, Johns Monroe Mitsunaga Kolouskova, speaking on behalf of the applicants for the Terrace 4-
Place building, explained the purpose of the Highway 99 subarea plan and planned action EIS was to °
provide developers with certainty and predictability while streamlining the environmental review and c
permitting process, furthering the goals of SEPA and the GMA, a direct quote from the subarea plan. Recent n
actions by the City have eliminated the certainty and predictability that made this subarea plan an attractive °
Q
development opportunity for investors like his client. A project like this requires an immense amount of
due diligence, planning, and prep work to even submit a preapplication. Under the current regulations, his
client could not even submit a vest -able building permit until they go through the design review process. r
Most recently the City upended that predictable, streamlined process they worked so hard to implement in w
2016-2017 so instead of predictability, the process has been changed in the middle of their submittal and
there is no clear guidance on how to shift gears from one process to the next. Instead of an administrative
review for something as fundamental and encompassing as designing their building, his client is being told z
there will be a two phase public hearing, first a preliminary concept design, a hearing where findings of 2
fact are established and then the applicant redesigns their project and submits another set of plans to comply Q
with priorities design guideline checklist criteria.
Mr. Williams continued, the ADB then decides upon conditions that will be imposed, establishing a guess
and check review for what should be a relatively simple process for constructing a building that the City
invited and exhaustively planned for. This is a 5-over-1 apartment building, not an Escala-type high rise in
the center of downtown. This is a working class building in a working class corridor. The ordinance is
inconsistent with the GMA and the City's comprehensive plan. The subarea outlines much of the work that
went into it, including consolidating the CG zone to allow for a cost effective 6-story mixed use building
to be constructed with comfortable floor to ceiling heights. Page 58 notes the construction type of five wood

frame floors over a ground floor concrete podium, also known as a 5-over-1 building, is efficient and cost
effective. This statement is only true because for issues like step backs, the City established regulations that
required step backs adjacent to single family and no step backs across the street. The reasoning for this
came from the EIS, there have been no new facts to warrant throwing out that EIS which is required under
SEPA when adding to existing environmental documents. The subarea plan the City came up with is well
thought out and provides the efficiency and predictability that was missing before. He urged the City to
stick with it and avoid reversion to the prior litigious system.
Jeremy Mitchell, Edmonds, said he generally supports the design review process as it helps cities guide
architectural, aesthetic and transitions from neighborhood to neighborhood which is very beneficial. He
referred to the upper story step backs adjacent and across the street, finding the language in the packet to
be too vague looking at it from an applicant's point of view, "these requirements shall apply unless deemed
not to be necessary pursuant to design review or the ADB." In his mind when going into a phase 1 design M
review whether an applicant is meeting with the ADB or City staff, they want to know upfront what is and c
is not prescriptive because at the phase 1 hearing with the public is where departures are presented. If not N
clearly aligned, it is hard for the applicant to put the departures in the submittal. If the intent of the language I,:
is to put the onus on the applicant to justify its use, he recommended taking out "unless deemed not to be
cc
necessary" and just making it a strict requirement and let the applicant do the rest via departures.

Natalie Seitz, Edmonds, commented in support of the emergency interim ordinance to require ADB review
and building step backs for certain projects in the CG zone. Although relatively new to the neighborhood,
three years, she moved into an area that until recently has had very little turnover. Her house, like many in
the areas, was built in the 50s and they are only the third owner. People have stayed in this neighborhood, a
raised families and developed communities. Her neighbors talk about how the areas is changing, sirens are
common if not nightly and property theft and vandalism are growing concerns. People who spent their lives
there now feel unsafe and lock their doors. The area is also changing due to displacement. In the past three L
years, half the houses on her street have turned over at least once, amazing for an areas where the tenure
used to be 30 years. The issues of lack of resources and displacement of population especially lower, fixed
income and elderly population are a reality in the corridor every day.
0
Ms. Seitz said was telling the council this because when talking about the emergency ordinance and what c
it does, it is often framed as anti -housing. She is not anti -housing; she is anti -displacement and anti- n
gentrification, but that is exactly what the CG zone is doing. Residents know the buildings in their °
Q
community will not be the same and they are completely supportive of low income housing; the fact is the
City's actions are displacing residents in the community and she feared it would only get worse. The ti
emergency ordinance gives the community a voice and allows greater participation in community r
redevelopment, a recognized anti -displacement strategy. In addition to supporting the emergency W
ordinance, she thanked the council for funding the SEPA in the most recent budget, advancing sidewalks
on 84', and fmding creative solutions to help meet the community's needs. She supports including more E
architects on the ADB and making additional code amendments to allow ADB to utilize a full range of
design guidelines applicable to the SR-99 corridor and the SEPA required step backs. +a,
Q
Hearing no further public comment, Mayor Nelson closed the public hearing.
Council President Tibbott thanked the public for their comments and for showing up when it is very
important for the council to hear from the public. With regard to design review by the ADB, he asked how
the ADB would be improved by adding an architect to the board. Mr. Clugston answered having more
architectural experience on the board would be helpful. Currently the position is very general, anyone with
a related background. Changing it to an architect provides more architectural context. Planning &
Development Manager Susan McLaughlin answered design professionals go to school for that, they learn
the design vocabulary, materiality, dimensions and depth, how to design a building in context and scale,

and are able to speak architects in the same language. Often lay people may not see things the same way or
be able to articulate how to improve a building in the same language as an architect.
Council President Tibbott asked if that could be added that to the ordinance through the hearing process
with planning board. Ms. McLaughlin answered that change was approved on the consent agenda tonight.
She relayed staff still supports administrative review, but the question was how to strengthen the ADB's
composition, and that was staff s recommendation.
Council President Tibbott asked if the ADB's review was always quasi-judicial. Mr. Clugston answered it
is always quasi-judicial. If a building is in one of the design districts in the BD and CG zones, it is a two -
phased hearing. General Commercial design review is a one -phase hearing, but it is all quasi-judicial.
Council President Tibbott asked the type of hearing. Mr. Clugston answered it was Type IIIA.
Councilmember Paine expressed appreciation for the comments at the public hearing. She suggested next
time this comes to council, it would be helpful to have a flowchart of the applicant process with this change.
Councilmember Buckshnis referred to Resolution 1367 regarding quasi-judicial, pointing out the council is
still involved in quasi-judicial processes. She asked City Attorney Jeff Taraday to explain. Mr. Taraday
answered the resolution Councilmember Buckshnis referenced was an aspirational statement by the council
to direct staff and the planning board to develop code changes that would reduce or eliminate the council's
role in quasi-judicial processes. One outcome of that resolution was adoption of Ordinance 4154 which was
adopted in 2019 and referenced in the council packet. Resolution 1367 can be looked at as the beginning of
the process and Ordinance 4154 as a potential end of the process. With the adoption of Ordinance 4154, it
was unclear whether the council was done tinkering with the quasi-judicial process or if there would be
future reductions in the council's involvement in quasi-judicial processes. Whatever the council thought in
2019, decision makers may have a different opinion in 2023. Resolution 1367 did not do anything other
than set a goal.
As historical background, Councilmember Buckshnis explained the quasi-judicial process has been back
and forth for many years; it used to be called Title 20. In 2009 the council voted to remove itself from quasi- °
judicial, and when she was appointed to council, the council moved back into quasi-judicial in 2010. In c
2019, via a process led by Councilmember Tibbott and the late Councilmember K. Johnson, a modified n
approach was adopted where certain parts would go through the council and certain parts would go to °
Q
supreme court. She preferred to have citizen's voices heard at local level. Although this issue was not part
of the public hearing, but she wanted people to understand what was stated was not entirely true, that
everything is quasi-judicial and council is totally out of the picture. She recommended this be addressed r
sometime in the future. c
w
Councilmember Buckshnis referred to the SEIS and EIS, relaying her understanding that those have nothing
to do with the emergency ordinance. Mr. Taraday answered they are related in the sense they are addressing
the same neighborhood and the same zoning district so they are not completely unrelated, but it is a separate +a,
process. The SEIS is a much longer term project and will allow for a much broader review of the council's Q
long term vision for the neighborhood. This interim ordinance is not directly related to the SEIS process.
Councilmember Buckshnis said she wanted to go on record that the SEIS process came through as a report
for filing and the council pulled it and asked to have a supplement done right away which of course has not
happened but it is in the budget. The council did not agree with the report for filing stating that the CG and
subarea were environmentally fine. She wanted people to realize that the timing of events have muddied
the water. She thanked staff for their hard work and the citizens for their comments and continued concern
and encouraged them to continue to comment to council.

Councilmember Teitzel said his perspective about the ADB is it is a board that is best equipped to monitor
development activities to ensure they are in concert with the charm, character and livability of Edmonds
and in his opinion, that is their charter. The description of the ADB on the City's website includes,
Establishes goals, objectives, and policies for design districts, which was in line of his view of the ADB.
He asked if the emergency ordinance complied with the current code relative to development in the CG
zone; in other words, does the ADB have the latitude under the existing code to do what council is
suggesting they do in this draft ordinance or are they precluded from quasi-judicial rulings like this. Mr.
Taraday answered the ADB is certainly not precluded from conducting quasi-judicial review; the ADB is
largely a quasi-judicial body. In that respect, the ordinance is not giving them anything new. In the absence
of the interim ordinance, design review in the CG zone would not be a quasi-judicial process, it would be
an administrative (staff reviewed) process. That is one of the most significant changes in the interim
ordinance, who does design review.
Councilmember Teitzel asked for confirmation of his understanding that the draft ordinance does not
mandate that step backs are required, there is flexibility in the wording of the ordinance. Mr. Taraday
answered there is certainly a presumption that they are required, but it is not an absolute mandate.
Councilmember Nand thanked the stakeholders who took the time to share their views with council. She
recognized this is a very hot button issue and emotions are running high. Everyone's input is very important
to council and City staff is taking feedback and trying to find ways to meet the stated objectives and desires
of various stakeholders. She encouraged everyone who participated tonight to come to the next planning
board meeting on January 25 because this process will take many months. The council is looking at a draft
ordinance and a full public and political process will follow. She urged stakeholders to continue providing
feedback to the planning board, council and City staff.

With regard to the external audit of the 2022 budget process, Councilmember Teitzel said the subcommittee
believes this would require hiring an outside, impartial attorney. The council has worked with Madrona v
Law Group in the past and would likely turn to them for this effort. The fee for the attorney the a
subcommittee has worked with at Madrona is $295/hour. If Madrona was hired to do this work and it took
approximately one month of work time, 160 hours, the cost would be approximately $50,000. The time that c
effort would take is unknown, it could take longer than 160 hours as it will require looking at minutes,
emails, text messages on council and personal cell phones, reviewing recordings of council meetings, etc., L
a fairly detailed assessment. In an informal discussion with Madrona about this to get their preliminary n
view, they cautioned some information could be attorney -client privileged and some information may be a
redacted. The benefit would be to determine if any rule, code, statute violation occurred, who made them, N
whether Lighthouse had any knowledge of it, etc. There is no reason to believe that Lighthouse was
involved or had any knowledge that anything occurred, but this review would drive to a set of facts that c
might reveal if that happened. He invited Councilmember Buckshnis to provide additional background. w
m
Councilmember Buckshnis said she watched the November 16 meeting again and has sent council the four E
emails from the State Auditor's Office (SAO) and the Attorney General (AG) as a result of citizens' 0
complaints. The issue at hand is the continuation meeting was spur of the moment and brought forth through Q
the council president and actually defined as an adjournment meeting by Mr. Taraday later on in the meeting
which shows he did in fact provide the correct quoting of the ECC and the RCW that the council president
brought forth. In terms of proper posting, that is something the SAO may have looked at and they will be
providing their findings. The SAO will not rule on the legality aspect and the AG said they do not provide
legal advice to citizens. Regarding the truncating of the public hearing where citizens were not allowed to
speak a second time, no one asked for a ruling from Mr. Taraday and she had no idea how that opinion
came about or how it was determined the public could not speak a second time on new material or on a
different subject. She suggested everyone watch the November 22 meeting.

Mayor Nelson suggested Councilmember Buckshnis was getting off topic, the subcommittee's work plan,
by describing what happened in the past. Councilmember Buckshnis explained from a legal standpoint, that
is what Madrona would be looking at. Mayor Nelson said from a parliamentarian standpoint, he wanted
councilmembers to stay on topic. Councilmember Buckshnis reiterated from a legal standpoint, that would
be something Madrona would look at because there was no opinion requested from the attorney so it was
possible citizens' right of free speech may have been violated. She relayed a citizen's suggestion to form a
task force to assist Madrona. The issues Madrona would consider include how the process came about and
who decided on a continuation meeting which has never happened in the past. Mr. Taraday was asked about
the RCW and ECC and he in fact answered correctly and the adjournment meeting was part of those laws.
Councilmember Teitzel attempted to continue his presentation. Mayor Nelson interrupted, stating he was
the chair of the meeting and would call on other councilmembers.
Councilmember Paine asked Mr. Taraday for his thoughts and opinions about what Councilmember
Buckshnis was searching for regarding what happened 15 months ago. Mr. Taraday answered he has always
maintained that procedurally speaking, what occurred during the 2021 deliberations on the 2022 budget
was procedural allowed under the Open Public Meetings Act (OPMA). He was so convinced that what was
done was legal that he was happy to have other law firms look at it if the council was unconvinced. He
knows what was done was legal and welcomed and thought it would be good thing if it helped the
community put that issue to rest. He was tired of hearing allegations of illegality when he knows for a fact
it was not illegal. Whether the council wants to spend the money is the council's choice. He was tired of
hearing unsupported assertions of illegality or unsupported assertions that he provided incorrect legal
advice.
Councilmember Paine said she was unconvinced that this item should be included in the work plan because
if an investigation/audit is going on during the time when the attorney assessment and a report after the L
fact, she wondered how the entire assessment would look and feel. She would like to have this looked at
externally as it is something that keeps coming up which seems very unfair. At a public meeting in
December 2021 she was found not to have violated any code of ethics. On December 13, 2021, regarding
the subject of a group email, the state auditor reminded all councilmember that efforts should be made not °
to violate the quorum rule because it could be considered a meeting. There were extensive emails in c
November and a number of public records requests that indicated there was plenty of knowledge and n
information. There was an absolute assertion by Mr. Taraday when the meeting was adjourned because of °
Q
the late hour due to 40-50 public comments which delayed the agenda and would have prevented the
meeting ending before midnight. At the adjourned meeting, the public was not allowed to come to the back ti
end of the line. She questioned whether having an external review done now would interfere with the city r
attorney assessment process. She summarized nothing found to be illegal and the word illegal gets thrown w
around too often and adding it here is about as useful as saying the council should investigate other things
that happen on council. She concluded it did not belong in this assessment process.

Councilmember Nand explained she joined the council in 2022 and just joined the city attorney assessment
committee in January. Councilmember Teitzel has been very helpful in explaining it is not the Q
subcommittee's job to make recommendations but to transparently present information to other
councilmembers to make decisions. The work plan transparently lists, Consider costs/benefits of external
audit of communications, an item one councilmember wanted added to the review of Lighthouse and
Councilmember Buckshnis wanted to present a countervailing point of view. It is not the role of the
subcommittee to make a recommendation whether or not to fund an external review. Speaking as a
councilmember, not as a member of the subcommittee, she acknowledged there were lingering questions
in the minds of the public and some councilmembers regarding the budget process in 2021 before
Councilmember Chen joined the council. However, she did not see how spending $50,000 for an external
audit would benefit the City in 2023. Speaking only as a councilmember, not as a member of the

subcommittee, she recommended voting against the external audit. She thanked Councilmembers Teitzel
and Paine for helping educate her.
Councilmember Olson said she was opposed to this being am element of the city attorney evaluation
process. She is on record back in 2021 thinking there was wrongdoing in the 2021 planning and execution
of the 2022 budget process although she never said that wrongdoing was illegal. She has and continues to
have no reason to suspect Mr. Taraday of any of that wrongdoing and said it was misplaced to put that here.
She agreed with Councilmember Nand that spending $50,000 or potentially considerably more does not
seem like a good use of taxpayer resources.
As he was the councilmember that joined the council in November 2021 in the midst of the budget
deliberations, Councilmember Chen said he felt obligated to express his opinion. He agreed with previous
council comments that taxpayers' money could be spent elsewhere to make a bigger difference. Having
now participated in two budget processes, the timeline was adjusted during both according to circumstances
at the time and he was fully confident that the city attorney provided good advice. There was always room
for improvement, but at this time, it would be better to focus the City's limited resources on the issues in
front of the council.
COUNCILMEMBER CHEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER OLSON, TO
REMOVE ITEM 3, CONSIDER COSTS/BENEFITS OF EXTERNAL AUDIT OF
COMMUNICATIONS INVOLVING LIGHTHOUSE, THE ADMINISTRATION AND
COUNCILMEMBERS LEADING UP TO THE 2022 BUDGET DISCUSSIONS AND REQUEST A
COUNCIL VOTE REGARDING PROCEEDING, FROM JANUARY 17 2023 ON THE WORK
PLAN.
Councilmember Teitzel expressed support for the motion due to his concern with looking at the information
and spending a fair amount of money, $50,000 or substantially more, and if some of the records are redacted
due to attorney -client privilege, the situation will end up in the same place it is today, having spent a great
deal of taxpayer money for no good benefit.
Councilmember Buckshnis did not believe she ever said Mr. Taraday did anything illegal so she objected
to his supposition that she said that. She recalled saying Mr. Taraday said it was a legal meeting and that L
he was not asked about the public hearing. She recognized trust has deteriorated which is the reason she n
felt it was important to do an external audit. She thinks Mr. Taraday should come back next year because a
he has a history with the City, but this issue caused a lot of mistrust in the City. She assured she never M
accused Mr. Taraday of doing anything illegal. cm

Mayor Nelson requested councilmember keep their commentary relevant to motion. w
Councilmember Buckshnis encouraged everyone to watch the November 16 meeting and make their own E
decisions. It would have been better to have a taskforce and spend less money although she recognized it
could dilute the timeliness of getting this done. Q
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Teitzel asked council if there were any amendments to the proposed timeline in the work
plan. He would like council to approve the timeline so subcommittee can proceed with its work.
Councilmember Olson referred to February 1 on the timeline, the city attorney satisfaction survey, relaying
there has been some public input that the survey should also be administered to members of the public and
that failing to do that would be a flaw in the process. The public is not included in the list of who would be
issued the city attorney satisfaction survey. She wanted the public to know that she considered that input
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
January 17, 2023

Packet Pg. 64
8.2.a
and why she did not agree. Unlike electeds who represent citizens 100%, the citizens of Edmonds are not
the city attorney's client; the client of the city attorney is the municipal corporation of the City of Edmonds.
Additionally, members of the public are not in the ideal position to judge as they often only know half the
story, for example, how council votes versus how council was advised by city attorney. In her opinion,
surveys will be issued to appropriate parties such as electeds. Electeds read the public's emails and have
heard the public input and that input will be reflected in the electeds' input once they are synthesized with
other information available on subjects the public has weighed in on.
Councilmember Nand agreed with Councilmember Olson. The subcommittee discussed whether they
wanted citizen input but because Mr. Taraday is in an attorney -client relationship with the municipal entity
versus other structures where a city attorney might be elected and is directly accountable to community
members. Mr. Taraday's imperative is to act in the best interest of the City and he may be criticized by
someone involved in litigation who has a weighted interest and a personal dislike of Mr. Taraday or
decisions or recommendations he's made. The political process in Edmonds is set up so that the city council
gets negative or positive comments during the process. The entire point of the survey is for Mr. Taraday
and Lighthouse to get feedback from the people who consume the legal services they provide, the electeds
and City staff as employees, agents and affiliates of the municipal corporation. In thinking about an
attorney -client relationship, she suggested thinking of members of public as floating nearby, not directly
intersecting with Mr. Taraday.
Councilmember Buckshnis commented the subcommittee is asking the council to consider going in-house,
but there were no numbers provided such as the number of attorneys, support staff, purchasing the law
library, etc. She was concerned with putting the work into a thorough evaluation without having any
information regarding the cost of an in-house attorney. It is similar to proceeding with a project without
knowing the cost. She was unsure who would do those calculations. She did not think a city Edmonds' size
could function with only one in-house attorney. This is a flaw she found in the timeline. Another issue is
the council has never contacted judges in the past. When Lighthouse was hired in 2010/2011, there was a
lot of leftover work from the previous attorney that Lighthouse cleaned up. She also questioned asking the
chair of boards and commissions to provide input, recalling in the past, only the council and the
administration completed the performance evaluations.
Councilmember Teitzel said Councilmember Buckshnis' first concern is addressed in the February -March n
timeline in Attachment A, conduct research and present cost estimates and pro/con findings to council °
Q
regarding contracting vs in-house city attorney services. With regard to contacting judges, the subcommittee
is focused on collecting as much information as possible regarding the quality of Lighthouse's work which ti
would include the quality of their briefing, oral argument, preparation, etc. Judges will be contacted and if r
they are willing to provide information, it will be provided to council. With regard to boards and w
commissions, the subcommittee wanted to ask any City entity, elected official, administration and the
mayor, city clerk, boards and commissions, etc. about their experience with Lighthouse if they have regular,
direct interaction. That is a proposal; if council does not want the subcommittee to do it, they won't.
c�
Speaking as a councilmember and not as a member of the subcommittee, Councilmember Paine agreed Q
with Councilmember Buckshnis.
COUNCILMEMBER PAINE MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS, TO
REMOVE HAVING THE EVALUATION SENT TO THE CHAIR OF BOARDS AND
COMMISSIONS.
Councilmember Paine explained the reason was to not have input from community members and
volunteers. It is appropriate for electeds, administration, and directors to provide input and she anticipated
here would be plenty of material to evaluate.

8.2.a
Councilmember Nand did not support the motion. The proposal is to send assessments to the chair of boards
and commission who interact with the city attorney. As a component that is consuming legal services
provided by Lighthouse, it would be entirely appropriate to get their assessment. The intent is to build an
objective tool to provide metrics on job performance for Lighthouse and to make a fair and objective
recommendation to council later this year. The more information that can be collected from those who
consume legal services, the more evenhanded and fair the assessment tool will be. She was opposed to
removing the chair of boards and commissions who consume legal services through their City volunteer
role.
Councilmember Olson commented good points have been made on both sides. She will vote no on the
motion for the reason the assessment might be used on an ongoing basis to provide feedback to the city
attorney and the chairs of boards and commissions may be able to provide helpful feedback on an ongoing
basis.
Councilmember Chen said he will vote against the motion for the reasons stated by other councilmembers.
Chairs of boards and commissions are volunteers, but they dedicate their time and expertise, they may be
involved with the city attorney, and their input would be valid.
Council President Tibbott asked how many chairs have interaction with the city attorney. Mr. Taraday
answered it is very uncommon for him to have direct interaction with any board or commission chair. Every
once in a while he may have a brief email exchange with the chair about what to include in training he is
providing. In recent memory, that has only happened with only one board. If the council decides to keep
that in the scope of the review process, it would be a pretty limited number of people. Most often City staff
that serves that board or commission acts as an intermediary between him and the board/commission. If
training is planned, it is usually the staff member who reaches out about doing the training and to describe
what the board wants covered and there is very little direct interaction with the chair.
Based on Mr. Taraday's answer, Council President Tibbott said he would support the motion to remove the
chair of boards and commissions, partially because the interaction with the city attorney is so limited that
it strikes him as being additional work that would add very little to the outcome and the understanding of
the city attorney services received.
Councilmember Teitzel clarified, the survey was not just asking for input about Mr. Taraday specifically °
Q
but Lighthouse attorneys. For example, a Lighthouse attorney attends most if not all disability board
meetings. In that instance, the chair would have a clear view of the quality of Lighthouse's work. ti
T
Councilmember Nand commented as the council shifts from a flat rate fee with Lighthouse to an hourly w
basis, part of the decision making process will be whether Lighthouse will provide attorney services at the
board/commission level. Feedback from that level could be helpful to the council in the future when making
decisions about how to tailor services. z

COUNCILMEMBER OLSON WITHDREW THE MOTION WITH THE AGREEMENT OF THE
SECOND.
COUNCILMEMBER NAND MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER TEITZEL, TO
ADOPT THE 2023 CITY ATTORNEY ASSESSMENT WORK PLAN.
Councilmember Nand expressed appreciation to councilmembers who provided input. The subcommittee
would like to get underway; this a very truncated work plan and a lot of work needs to be done. The target
of June 2023 is proposed so there is not a surprise late in the year about the city attorney for 2024. She
hoped the subcommittee had been able to adequately address all the council's concerns about the assessment
work plan and would empower the subcommittee to move forward as presented and amended.
Councilmember Teitzel reiterated as the subcommittee proceeds through the work plan, they will collect
information but will not make any recommendations or decisions. The subcommittee is simply collecting
information for council's use in considering how city attorney services should be obtained long term.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Regarding the performance survey document, Councilmember Teitzel advised after the council approves
the survey, the subcommittee plans to submit it to respondents on February 1. The document will be emailed
to internal clients who have regular interactions with Lighthouse which would include elected officials such
as councilmembers and the mayor, directors, department heads and managers. The subcommittee would
like to ask the mayor for a list of respondents who should receive the document because it will be important
to get 100% response. The subcommittee will convert the evaluation document in the packet into an online
Survey Monkey questionnaire for ease of use by the respondents. He anticipated it would be a brief effort;
Attachment C is an example of the Survey Monkey format with boxes to check, 1-5 ratings, and an N/A
option if the question does not apply.
Councilmember Teitzel explained the first page of the survey in the packet is a set of instructions; that will —
not be included in the survey document but will be sent in an email to the respondents. Respondents will
be asked to return the survey by February 16, giving them approximately two weeks to complete the survey. L
The survey should take only 15-20 minutes to complete. Response will be confidential with no names n
attached to assist in more accurate, forthcoming responses. The respondents will be grouped by category, a
for example elected officials, department heads, and managers. N
ti
Councilmember Buckshnis said for those who have been around a long time, it may take longer than 10-15 c
minutes to complete the survey as she felt it was an extremely serious survey. She asked if the intent was W
to review all four years or just one year, pointing out things have changed drastically over the course of a
couple years. She also hoped responses would not be limited to 120 characters. E
z
Councilmember Teitzel responded the instructions will ask respondents to think over a three year Q
timeframe. His reference to 15-20 minutes to complete the survey may have been too offhand, it may take
more or less time depending on the input provided. The Survey Monkey tool will make it much more
convenient for respondents. There will be a comment box under each question and there will be no limit on
the number of characters.
COUNCILMEMBER NAND MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER TEITZEL, TO
ADOPT THE PERFORMANCE EVALUATION FOR LIGHTHOUSE CITY ATTORNEY
SERVICES.

8.2.a
Councilmember Nand commented this was a work product of primarily of Councilmembers Teitzel and
Paine as she just joined the subcommittee but she found it very comprehensive. As an attorney, she would
find it very helpful to get this feedback from her clients. If there are no additional tweaks, she hoped the
council would adopt the survey so it can be distributed to City staff and electeds.
Mr. Taraday pointed out a tension between two things on the survey. One question asks if invoices
accurately identify tasks and expenses in sufficient detail to provide accountability. Another question asks
does Lighthouse maintain appropriate confidentially with regard to all matters discussed with the mayor,
city council, department directors and city staff. He cannot maintain confidentiality if he includes a ton of
detail in the invoices so the responses on those questions may be in tension with one another.
Councilmember Buckshnis said she has a problem with question 6 in its entirety because council does not
see the invoices, does not know who authorizes tasks, and some of the questions are too subjective. She
asked if N/A would be an option in Survey Monkey. With regard to cost effectiveness, she recalled when
the council began meeting via Zoom, suddenly Lighthouse was at all committee meetings which takes a lot
of time. She suggested providing an N/A option because few of the respondents would have seen the
invoices.
Councilmember Teitzel answered there will be a N/A option on every question. With regard to costs, some
respondents may have knowledge and be able to answer questions such as the finance department or some
councilmembers. If they did not, N/A would be an option.
With regard to Mr. Taraday's comment about a potential tension between questions between 6c and 8b,
Councilmember Nand assumed the administrative services director was reviewing the city attorney
invoices. Mr. Taraday relayed his understanding that the subcommittee will be reviewing invoice narratives
this year; in the past there was no incentive to review the invoice narratives because the flat fee resulted in
the same payment and he was unsure who reviewed them. He suspected the invoices would be looked at
more closely this year and knowing that, Lighthouse was being careful about how bill narratives were
phrased to not reveal the substance of conversations. Councilmember Nand aid she could see the sensitivity
with serving different branches of City government. If that is a challenge, possibly the assessment
subcommittee could provide guidance regarding the narrative.
Speaking as a councilmember and not as a subcommittee member, Councilmember Paine she also had °
Q
trouble with this questions because most respondents would not be qualified to evaluate that. The council
sets the rate through the contract and also have oversight opportunity. The survey is looking backward three ti
years when the fee was a flat rate. A better question would be whether time has been used effectively and r
efficiently. w
COUNCILMEMBER PAINE MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS, TO
AMEND THE MOTION TO REMOVE QUESTION 6 FROM THE QUESTIONNAIRE BECAUSE z
IT WILL NOT NET USEFUL INFORMATION.
c�
Q
Councilmember Teitzel explained the questions were developed by the subcommittee. Speaking as an
individual councilmember, he did not have a strong concern if question 6 was removed because the City
has been on a flat fee billing arrangement for the past three years with Lighthouse and the responses would
not be as relevant if the City was on an hourly billing arrangement.
Councilmember Nand suggested retaining question 6 as there will be an N/A option. Further, selecting your
general role at the City in Survey Monkey, such as elected officials, director, department head or manager,
will tailor the questions provided. Obviously directors and department heads will not be very concerned
with cost or fiscal accountability or control so there would be no reason that question would be provided to
them when taking the survey. For people like electeds who work on the budget, that would be a
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes

8.2.a
consideration and was a considerable consideration of the subcommittee in 2022 in providing options for
an hourly or flat rate fee. She recommended retaining question 6 for electeds.
Councilmember Chen agreed with previous comments to retain question 6. For anyone participating in the
survey that did not have enough knowledge about that issue, they can always select N/A. Some of the
respondents will have the knowledge, such as the finance team who review invoices.
Councilmember Buckshnis said there is value to question 6 but the finance team does not look at it. For
example, question 6d, Does Lighthouse display the ability and knowledge to research issues in a minimum
amount of time, respondents will need to either guess or select N/A. With a flat rate, it is difficult to ascertain
if Lighthouse is spending the right amount of time on tasks. She advised the finance committee has never
looked at Lighthouse invoices.
UPON ROLL CALL, AMENDMENT FAILED (3-4), COUNCILMEMBERS TEITZEL,
BUCKSHNIS AND PAINE VOTING YES; COUNCILMEMBERS CHEN, OLSON, AND NAND
AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT TIBBOTT VOTING NO.
Councilmember Teitzel recalled a councilmember saying this document could be the basis for an ongoing
performance evaluation. The council does not have a formal evaluation process for the city attorney. If the
performance evaluation tool works well, it could be done annually in the future.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mayor Nelson declared a brief recess.
2. DRAFT ORDINANCE AMENDING ECC 10.01 BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS
Council President Tibbott explained this is a draft ordinance, An ordinance of the City of Edmonds, a
Washington, amending Chapter 10.01 ECC and establishing new processes elated to the filing of openings
on the City's boards and commissions. He emphasized for the council and the public that the ordinance c
simply seeks to improve the way vacancies for all boards and commissions are filled. As due diligence was
done looking at the process for appointment planning board members, it was realized the steps for filling o
vacancies have never been spelled out. The process relied on historical practices that had been followed for n
decades. He emphasized this was not an attempt by the council to control the administration or for the a
council to cover up its own lack of consistency in applying the process for selecting board and commission N
members. It is simply to address a gap in the process for forming boards and commissions and filling
vacancies when they happen. He emphasized there was no wrongdoing and no rules were broken in the c
process of bringing forward recommendations for the planning board. The way those recommendations w
were brought forward was in line with the unwritten ideas and former practices. _
m
E
Council President Tibbott expressed appreciation for those who volunteer on boards and commissions; they
play a very important role, some in an advisory capacity and others are citizen input groups that provide Q
information to the council and as a sounding board for the community. The City's boards and commissions
are very important so it is critical to outline how positions are filled.
City Attorney Jeff Taraday advised in drafting the ordinance, he primarily worked with the Council
Executive Assistant Beckie Peterson. It started with a conversation to outline concepts that needed to be
addressed in an ordinance and to kick around ideas and generally establish the scope of what would be
included in this chapter. Ms. Peterson sent him her notes/thoughts and he developed the draft ordinance
with a few tweaks along the way. As with most code chapters of this type, it is entirely subject to council
discretion; there is no state law that governs these processes so council is free to make changes. He provided
an overview of the ordinance.

Mr. Taraday summarized the goal is to develop a process that meets the City's needs.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT TIBBOTT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER TEITZEL, TO
ADOPT THE ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 10.01 ECC ESTABLISHING NEW
PROCESSES RELATED TO FILLING OPENINGS ON THE ON CITY'S BOARDS AND
COMMISSIONS.
Council President Tibbott explained in developing the ordinance, consideration was given to, 1) best
practices in other cities, 2) the city attorney was asked to ensure the ordinance was consistent with other
appointment and hiring process in the City, and 3) recapture best practices used in the past to appoint board
and commission members.
COUNCILMEMBER NAND MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER CHEN, TO AMEND
10.01.020 MEANS OF NOTIFICATION, SECTION B, MEDIA RELEASE, TO INCORPORATE A
REQUIREMENT OF PAID ADVERTISEMENT IN AT LEAST TWO LOCAL PUBLICATIONS.
Councilmember Nand explained the reason she supports putting funding behind the publication is because
it is a constant struggle to get people who are geographically diverse and from non-traditional backgrounds
to participate in City boards and commissions. Widening the reach through paid advertisement would
expand the pool of applicants instead of the usual suspects. She would like to see a wider pool of applicants
that are more geographically diverse, represent a bigger age range and non-traditional backgrounds get
involved in City governance and the political process via volunteerism.
Councilmember Paine asked if the motion was to include other languages. Councilmember Nand said she
would defer to the administration's communications coordinator Kelsey Foster. That would be a valuable
addition if that was something she was able to incorporate.
Councilmember Chen asked if that was already covered in 10.01.020.13 Media release. Councilmember
Nand explained her reading of .020 is it would be just a press release that is sent to various publications
who can choose whether to publish it. A paid advertisement would place the open position in a more
prominent way and guarantee that it is carried in at least two local publications.
Councilmember Chen said 10.01.020.13 Media release already cover a lot of media. He suggested specifying
Korean, Chinese, or Hispanic publications, because otherwise it would not help.
M
Councilmember Nand asked if he was suggesting instead of just paid advertisements in a minimum of two cm
local publications, there also be a requirement that one be in a non-English language. c
w
Councilmember Chen began to amend the amendment to add the above. c
m
E
Councilmember Paine raised a point of order that there cannot be an amendment to an amendment. Mr.
Taraday advised an amendment to an amendment is allowed. Mayor Nelson ruled point not taken. Q
COUNCILMEMBER CHEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PAINE, TO AMEND
THE AMENDMENT TO SPECIFIC THE PAID MEDIA MUST BE THE MAIN MINORITY
LANGUAGES SUCH AS HISPANIC, KOREAN, AND CHINESE MEDIA.
Councilmember Chen commented it was a good idea to expand the reach in terms of advertising board and
commission openings. In Edmonds, the three main minority languages are Korean, Chinese and Hispanic.
Councilmember Buckshnis suggested Councilmember Chen meant Spanish rather than Hispanic. She asked
if that meant there would be interpreters as part of boards and commissions. If the City is publicizing in
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes

8.2.a
foreign languages, she asked if there would be a requirement that the applicant understand English or would
individuals from minority populations be selected and the City provide interpreters as part of the board or
commission. She suggested this needed to be thought through a little more.
Councilmember Olson said Councilmember Buckshnis' point was also on her mind. She understands the
idea behind this, but was uncertain advertising in foreign languages was of value if the applicants did not
speak English, the language the board and commission's business would be conducted in, and feared it may
cause frustration. She will vote against all of these well intentioned, good thoughts in the big picture in
terms of trying to achieve something. If these amendments were not approved, the council could add an
intent to achieve outreach to minority communities through appropriate means and each time there is an
opening, the City administration can determine what that means for the particular board/commission
opening. It could be an announcement at a community center or church, a bulletin board or through people
who are in contact with a specific community, etc. She understood what the amendments were trying to
achieve, but she did not think being that prescriptive added value.
Councilmember Nand strongly disagreed with Councilmembers Buckshnis and Olson's comments. If an
member of the deaf community applied and needed an ASL interpreter, the City would find a way to
accommodate due to the value of that person's input. Saying it would be too arduous for someone who
speaks English as a second language to participate on a board or commissions is very offensive to
communities of color of which she and Councilmember Chen are members. Both she and Councilmember
Chen come from bilingual households, she is the daughter of immigrants and Councilmember Chen is
himself an immigrant. She felt it was saying the City didn't want people from the English as a second
language community because it might be too difficult to incorporate them into a board or commission.
Councilmember Nand expressed support for Councilmember Chen's amendment. Her original amendment
was paid advertisements in a minimum of two local publications. Councilmember Chen added to include
advertisements targeted to the English as a second language community. To anyone listening who speaks
English as second language or is a member of deaf community, she assured the City would find a way to
accommodate them if they wanted to participate in a board or commission.
Councilmember Buckshnis said Councilmember Nand put words in her mouth that she did not say. She has c
no problem with what Councilmembers Nand and Chen are attempting to accomplish but was thinking of n
the unintended consequences. There have been deaf individuals on the diversity commission. She referred °
Q
to Councilmember Nand's clarification of English as a second language. She was unsure why
Councilmember Nand was stating the council was attempting to not be inclusive; she welcomed English as ti
a second language individuals. Her question was if the person did not speak English, was the intent to have r
interpreters. She was offended that Councilmember Nand was accusing her of making gestures when all w
she was asking for was a response.
m
Mayor Nelson encouraged councilmembers to maintain respect for each other. z
c�
Councilmember Olson pointed out the original discussion was not English as a second language, it was Q
advertising in a different language where it was very likely to find people who do not speak English as a
second language. That was her point, not that she did not welcome people who speak English as a second
language. If someone who did not speak English wanted to participate, consideration could be given to
what logistics would be required to accommodate that. Seeking people who will have that additional
difficulty interacting with other members of the board or commission and doing the work and business of
reading packets, etc. is a lot for the City to take on.
Councilmember Chen assured all councilmembers were open minded and welcoming and the questions and
discussion are for the good of order. No one has any judgment against non-English speaking people. His

amendment was just to make it available and provide for a broader reach. In the United States, business is
still conducted in English.
Mr. Taraday said he heard the original motion as one of the two publications would in a non-English
speaking publication and it was subsequently refined as publishing in Chinese, Korean and Spanish. He
asked that the amendment be restated.
Councilmember Chen restated his amendment:
TO HAVE BOARD AND COMMISSION OPENINGS PUBLISHED IN THREE MAJOR NON-
ENGLISH PUBLICATIONS INCLUDING KOREAN, CHINESE AND SPANISH.
UPON ROLL CALL, AMENDMENT TO THE AMENDMENT CARRIED (5-2),
COUNCILMEMBERS TEITZEL, CHEN, BUCKSHNIS, PAINE AND NAND VOTING YES;
COUNCIL PRESIDENT TIBBOTT AND COUNCILMEMBER OLSON VOTING NO.
Councilmember Paine asked who would manage this process. It appears to be council directed but she
questioned whether it would be managed by the administration and then turned over to council for the
application review.
Council President Tibbott raised a point of order, stating the council should vote on the amendment. Mayor
Nelson ruled point taken.
Councilmember Nand restated the amended amendment:
REVISE 10.01.020.13 MEDIA RELEASE TO INCLUDE PAID ADVERTISEMENTS IN A
MINIMUM OF TWO LOCAL PUBLICATIONS WHICH WAS AMENDED TO BE PAID
ADVERTISEMENT IN A MINIMUM OF FIVE LOCAL PUBLICATIONS INCLUDING THREE IN
MAJORITY LANGUAGES OF CHINESE, KOREAN AND SPANISH.
Mr. Taraday agreed that is how he interpreted the effect of the passage of the amendment. He was familiar
with statutes that require paid advertising and many include a frequency element. He suggested the
frequency be clarified.
Councilmember Nand suggested a minimum of two weeks of at least once week paid advertisement.
Councilmember Buckshnis said it was her understanding there would be three publications but now five M
are proposed. She questioned what department would fund this and hoped it would not come from city ti
council funds. If it was not paid from city council funds, the mayor should have some say in this. r

W
Mayor Nelson said councilmembers have reached out to other cities but have not reached out to the
administration. He was also concerned that the council was ready to vote on this the same night it was m
E
introduced which was usually not done. He questioned how this very elaborate, thorough, in-depth outreach
would be funded, who would do it, and what it means for boards and commissions. It has big implications
and he found it surprising that none of the City's directors had been contacted. Q
Councilmember Buckshnis said she was just as concerned because this has morphed into a very expensive
proposal. She suggested going back to the drawing board and that the administration have some input
because this could get very costly, an issue for a fiscal conservative like her. She was trying to figure out
what councilmembers were trying to accomplish and suggested it be considered in a committee or
subcommittee that works with the administration. She was not in favor of the amendment without further
information about the cost.

8.2.a
Council President Tibbott said he was under the impression that the amendment was to publish notice in
two publications and one of the announcements would be in three different languages so it was not
necessarily to publish in three separate publications. He supported publication in two hard copy publications
to extend the reach, but found it difficult to agree to more than that.
Councilmember Olson commented it was unlikely the council would get through all the conversation and
amendments on this tonight and suggested tabling it. The council has no idea of the cost of the additional
advertising that has been proposed, an off-the-cuff idea from the dais that has not been vetted which she
felt was a very bad idea. She suggested moving on to the vote and reconsidering it when information
regarding the cost is available next week. There has been a lot of board and commission turnover and
vacancies in the past 2-3 months so it is probably not prudent to pass this tonight without any forethought
on the subject.
Councilmember Chen agreed with what has been said regarding taking more time to digest this and do
further research. His amendment was meant to replace the two original publications, not increase it to five.
Councilmember Paine said if a board member needed sign language, it would be an ADA violation not to
provide it. The council should always be thinking about people with differences that need to be
accommodated.
Councilmember Nand liked Council President Tibbott's suggestion for two local publications in multiple
languages and anticipated Councilmember Chen would also support that.
Mr. Taraday said he was confused where to go now procedurally because prior to the last 5-2 vote, the
intent of that amendment was clarified to publish in three publications, a Spanish publication, a Korean
publication, and a Chinese publication. Maybe Councilmember Chen was saying he wanted to advertise in
three languages other than English but in an English-speaking publication which is different. He suggested
going back to that vote and get additional clarification and revote if Councilmember Chen was saying the
effect of his amendment was not what he intended.
Councilmember Nand relayed her understanding of Mr. Taraday's comment was for the council to recall c
the vote to Councilmember Chen's amendment to her amendment and call the vote on her amendment to n
the ordinance. Mr. Taraday said what is needed is a big board on the wall that shows the text of pending °
Q
motions so the council can agree on the motion they are voting on. He was still unclear whether
Councilmember Chen's motion was publishing in three languages in an English publication or in a foreign ti
language publication. r
0
W
Councilmember Chen commented it would not make sense to publish foreign languages in an English
publication; it has to be in the foreign language publication that reaches that audience. His original intent E
was to publish notice in Korean, Spanish and Chinese publications. Mr. Taraday asked if Councilmember z
Chen's amendment was instead of two English plus the Spanish, Chinese and Korean, it would be no 2
English and Spanish, English and Chinese. Councilmember Chen said the media releases in English were Q
not paid advertisements. Mr. Taraday said Councilmember Nand's original amendment was to have paid
English advertisements of the vacancies. He was trying to understand if the intent was to substitute the paid
English ads for the Spanish, Korean, Chinese ads or supplement the paid English ads with Korean, Chinese
and Spanish ads; it is either three ads or five ads.
Councilmember Chen suggested tabling and do some research.
Planning & Development Director Susan McLaughlin said what has been done in the past with ethnic media
sources through the equitable engagement framework such as regarding the comprehensive plan this

summer, was to send a press release in multiple languages, for example to the Korean newspaper, and they
can choose whether to publish it just like a press release sent to other media channels. She recommended
doing that, sending a press release which can be translated into multiple languages and the ethnic media
sources can choose whether to publish it or not.
Councilmember Teitzel expressed concern the council was getting bogged down in detail which was not
productive.
COUNCILMEMBER TEITZEL MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS, TO
TABLE THIS ISSUE FOR ONE WEEK AND DIRECT THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT TO MEET
WITH THE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF HIS STAFF TO WORK THROUGH DETAILS AND
BRING THIS BACK NEXT WEEK FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION AND A VOTE. MOTION
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
3. 2023 COUNCIL RETREAT PLANNING
Council President Tibbott referred to the proposed agenda in packet and suggested the retreat not be held
virtually.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT TIBBOTT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER OLSON, TO
HOLD THE COUNCIL RETREAT IN A NON -VIRTUAL FASHION UTILIZING THE
RESOURCES OF RECORDKEEPER.
Council President Tibbott commented the council has not had an in -person retreat for at least 3 years. The
design of this retreat includes a lot of movement around room and the formation of discussion groups
making it difficult to provide microphones and capture multiple people talking at same time. The room will
be large enough to accommodate the public, all are welcome to participate and notes will be available. The
most important reason not to have a virtual environment is to avoid misinterpretation of comments made
on the side or jokingly as attendees are working. He asked the council to approve a non -virtual event for
this retreat and looked forward to a lot of interaction. The results of the planning process will be available
for everyone to see.
Councilmember Paine said although she has a better understanding of why Council President Tibbott wants n
the retreat not to be virtual, it eliminates the ability for the public to watch, listen and observe the process. a
Although people will be moving around, there will also be time for discussion which she felt would be M
helpful for the community to watch in real time. The Brackett Room has great equipment; she attends ti
committee meetings there regularly and it has good virtual function. The council could all agree to attend r
in person unless they are ill to facilitate face to face conversations. She preferred to have the virtual w
opportunity available for the public, not necessarily for the council, as that ability is provided for all other
meetings and this is no different.
E
z
Councilmember Buckshnis agreed with Council President Tibbott. A retreat has a lot of moving parts. A
lot of people like the virtual aspect, but when it was done for the Housing Commission, it was very difficult Q
to follow. The public can read the minutes or attend the meeting if they wish. It would be wonderful to have
a retreat in person and not worry about the virtual aspect. For example, she tried to listen in on a virtual
Rotary meeting today, but it does not work well. A retreat should be informal, fun and invigorating. A
virtual format does not work well with in a large group setting and retreats in the past were never virtual.
Councilmember Olson said it will not be a great spectator event via virtual means. The press will cover the
meeting and it is an open meeting for anyone to attend. Hybrid meetings are not required, the council does
it to provide access. When the experience of that access will not be good, won't add to the spectator
experience and makes it more difficult for the participants, there are reasons at times, such as this retreat,
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
January 17, 2023

Packet Pg. 75
8.2.a
to suspend that extra hybrid aspect. She was asked in advance about not holding the retreat virtually and
although she initially was skeptical, after the logistical aspects were described, she agreed that was the right
choice.
MOTION CARRIED (6-1), COUNCILMEMBER PAINE VOTING NO.
Council President Tibbott said the agenda will include a presentation by CEO, Association of Washington
Cities Deanna Dawson, a former Edmonds councilmember, who will talk with the council about her ideas
for efficient and effective council meetings. That agenda item will include Q&A and he invited
councilmembers to submit questions to him in advance.
Councilmember Paine asked if the agenda will include discussion about budget planning. There are two
appointed council positions; the person who is elected will be installed the day the election is verified which
is in the middle of budget season. She was hopeful there would be an opportunity to discuss council budget
planning to get ahead of that before candidates file for council positions and in a way that honors the
integrity of the budget process. Council President Tibbott agreed there would be.
10. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Nelson reminded of the Lunar New Year Celebration beginning Saturday at 10 a.m. in downtown
Edmonds.
11. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Nand asked Councilmember Chen since it is the Year of the Rabbit, would it be appropriate
for her to bring her pet rabbits to the celebration. Councilmember Nand answered definitely.
Councilmember Nand encouraged the public to attend Saturday's New Year Celebration and pet a real
rabbit. She expressed her appreciation for to her fellow councilmembers, recognizing discussions
sometimes get feisty. She wished all a joyful and lucky Year of Rabbit.
Councilmember Paine wished everyone all the good fortune of Lunar New Year and assured she will attend o
the Lunar New Year Celebration. She thanked the community members who put on the spectacular Lift
Every Voice program at the Waterfront Center, a full day of activities including 500 kids in the morning a
and a program in the evening that was all about love, a very powerful, uplifting, joyful message. She got a
lot out of it and hoped that program would continue in Edmonds. N
ti
Councilmember Buckshnis commented she thought she would never get COVID because she has been so �o
cautious but she did and is recovering. She opined the integrity of the budget process in 2021 was very
flawed and suggested everyone watch that meeting. She was out of town at the wedding of her brother's
only daughter on November 18', an event the council president knew about. She has called in during z
vacations, during Packer games, and from Lithuania, so was upset at being blamed for not calling in.
cc
Weddings and funerals take precedence over a budget process and there was no reason to have the vote on Q
the budget occur with an appointed councilmember. She hoped Council President Tibbott realizes the
budget process does not have to occur prior to installation of the elected candidate. She recalled Will Chen
spoke on November 17 about a lot of her budget amendments. All councilmembers have a voice and the
council president should represent all councilmembers. She was never called or even told what an
adjournment meeting was. She hoped the council learned from their mistakes including that the integrity of
the budget rests on the entire council, not just four members.
Council President Tibbott said when he spoke with Deanna Dawson, former Edmonds councilmember and
now CEO of AWC, he bragged about the council. The council has improved so much in the last year in
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
January 17, 2023

Packet Pg. 76
8.2.a
how they deliberate, listen to each other, and make decisions. Part of the retreat is to develop a work plan
that will help the council move to the next level with the achievements made in 2022.
Councilmember Olson commented it is time to circle back to the statement made by Finance Director Dave
Turley at the December 13 meeting that he felt disrespected by the council motion and 6-1 vote at the
December 10 budget meeting to direct him to post the budget spreadsheet and impacts so that council could
feel confident about approving the final budget on December 13. His statement included a non-specific
request for a public apology. She revisited the meetings and communicated with MSRC. This event
occurred at the tail end of a four hour meeting and an intense three month budget season where all members
of the administration and council and especially the finance director and council worked together
collaboratively to develop and deliver a budget they were proud of and that represented the communities'
priorities. Director Turley, the whole administration and the council worked very hard with the best
intentions and no one has anything to apologize for in that regard. In response to Mayor Nelson saying if
council wanted to direct staff to do something that a motion was needed, she offered the motion that directed
staff. That was a crossed line as it is never appropriate for council to direct staff. The motion should have
been directed to the mayor that his administration post the spreadsheet on the website. She will do it that
way in the future and she apologized to the mayor and Director Turley for the misstep.
COUNCILMEMBER OLSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER CHEN, TO
EXTEND TO 10:10. MOTION CARRIED (6-1), COUNCIL PRESIDENT TIBBOTT VOTING NO.
Councilmember Chen commented on how lucky he was to be part of this community where all voices are
heard. His experience as resident and as councilmember is he feels included and accepted. The Martin
Luther King, Jr. Day celebration and the artists who put up the welcome figure at the Waterfront Center
also expressed the same feeling. Korean American Day on January 13 was a big celebration as well as
Martin Luther King's message that love overcomes hate. There are red lanterns around the City for the
Lunar New Year and he invited everyone to attend the celebration.
Councilmember Teitzel said he attended the Martin Luther King, Jr. celebration at the Waterfront Center;
it was very well done and he applauded Lift Every Voice Legacy, Donnie Griffin in particular, for putting c
on such a great event. He found it very uplifting and the main message was love conquers hate, something
everyone needs to keep in mind. As he heard that message yesterday, he reflected on how the council and °
administration should take that to heart and work together and give each other grace and slack at times a
when things get tense. Election season is approaching and things may get more tense.
M
N
Councilmember Teitzel congratulated Kevin Fagerstom, his appointment to the tree board on tonight's
consent agenda. There were two excellent candidates to consider and it was a very close call, but Mr. c
w
Fagerstrom, in addition to having very strong tree knowledge and living in Edmonds for over 30 years, was
also the code manager for the City of Everett and has a very strong knowledge of code. The tree board will
benefit from his combined knowledge of trees and code. z

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT TO CITY COUNCIL
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Edmonds, Washington (hereinafter "City
Council") utilizes the services of an Executive Assistant to perform a variety of
confidential tasks related to its legislative and research functions; and
WHEREAS, the Mayor of the City of Edmonds is by state statute the chief
administrative officer of the City, invested with the power to hire and fire employees and
to direct their day-to-day activities; and
WHEREAS, in the interest of fostering an appropriate working relationship between the
Executive Assistant and the City Council, the Mayor has evidenced his wish to delegate
the day-to-day responsibility for the direction of said employee to the City Council's
President; and
WHEREAS, with the Mayor's consent, the City Council wishes to fill the position of
Executive Assistant with an employee specifically answerable to the Council, under
specific, limited terms and conditions governed by the provisions of this employment
agreement and not subject to the general personnel policies of the City;
NOW, THEREFORE, the City of Edmonds, Washington and Rebecca Black Peterson
(hereinafter "Employee") do hereby enter into this agreement for employment services
("Agreement"). The Employee's employment will be governed exclusively by the
provisions of this Agreement unless otherwise provided herein.
1. Term of Employment: This Agreement will take effect as of February 1, 2023 and
will expire on January 31, 2024 unless extended pursuant to its terms. Thereafter, this
Agreement may be extended for an unlimited number of terms of one (1) calendar year
duration at the sole discretion of the City Council. The purpose of this term is to permit
an annual review of the performance of the Employee by the outgoing City Council
President in order that the City Council President may determine whether or not it is
appropriate to renew this Agreement for an additional term.
It is one of the basic understandings of this Agreement that the Employee will work
closely with the City Council President and the City Council. As such, this position will
be one in which the confidence of the City Council President and City Council will be
essential to the proper performance of the Employee's duties. Therefore, the City Council
reserves the right not to renew this Agreement, or to terminate this Agreement as herein
provided in order to preserve that confidence and a feeling of confidentiality between the
City Council President, the City Council and the Employee as Executive Assistant.
2. Duties: The Employee will serve as the Executive Assistant for the City Council
and complete legislative research when requested by Council. The Employee will be
under the general day-to-day direction of the City Council President and will provide
such assistance as may be necessary to individual members of the City Council. In the
event of a conflict in direction between Council members, the Employee will rely upon
Packet Pg. 129

2023 Employment Agreement
Executive Assistant to City Council
the direction of the City Council President. A generalized description of the duties of this
position is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference. The
listing of duties in Exhibit A is intended as a descriptive tool only, and will not limit the
City Council President or City Council to make task assignments; provided, however,
that such duties be linked to the City Council President's Office and the legislative
function of the City Council and will, in all respects, be governed by statutory,
constitutional and ordinance limitations on the duties of public employees. The City
Council President, by their signature below, specifically represents that the Mayor has
delegated his statutory authority to direct the day-to-day duties of this Employee to the
City Council to be exercised by and through the City Council President. This delegation
is revocable by the Mayor and will not be binding on the subsequent elected or appointed
mayors unless ratified by them.
3. Hours of Work: This is a full-time position. The Employee will work office hours
as assigned and directed by the City Council through the City Council President. Such
hours may normally be worked Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.,
with any appropriate meal and rest periods as required by law. In addition, the Employee
may perform assigned work off site. Such hours will be within prescribed limits and
approved by the City Council President. It is anticipated that the Employee will work up
to 40 hours per week to successfully perform the required work. This general description
of working hours will not limit the ability of the City Council President to change the
working schedule or adjust it from time to time.
4. Wages and Benefits: The wages set forth in this Section 4 hereby provide for a
base rate of $45.26 per hour, which is Step 3 of pay range NR-33. This rate went into
effect on January 1, 2023 pursuant to the terms of the Employee's 2022 Employment
Agreement. The Employee will move through this pay range per the non -represented
employee compensation policy. Step progressions will take place on January 1 of each
year. In addition, the Employee will receive any annual COLA that the Council chooses
to give non -represented employees. The City will pay the applicable employer's portion
of Medicare, PERS retirement, Municipal Employee Benefit Trust (MEBT), Washington
State Industrial Taxes, and such other payments or benefits as may be required under the
provisions of state and federal law based upon the number of hours worked. MEBT
benefits will be provided as required by law or by the provisions of a plan document.
"Plan Document" will mean for the purposes of this Agreement the MEBT or other
contract, or policy documents, which require, by their terms, the participation of all
qualified employees.
The benefits to be paid to the Employee will be governed solely by this Agreement. No
benefit not specifically addressed or listed herein will be granted to the Employee. The
provisions of this Agreement will control over any conflicting provision of the City
ordinances, City Personnel Policy Manual, any collective bargaining agreement or any
other general grant of benefits to City employees. The benefits which the Employee will
receive are limited to the following:

City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: 01/24/2023
Decision on Emergency Interim Ordinance 4283 - CG Design Review Process and Step Back
Staff Lead: Mike Clugston
Department: Planning Division
Preparer: Michael Clugston
Background/History
Council adopted emergency interim ordinance 4283 on December 10, 2022. The ordinance adds an
Architectural Design Board (ADB) design review process for certain projects in the General Commercial
(CG) zone in addition to a design standard for building step backs in certain situations.
The code change would require a two-phase design review process by the ADB, similar to that in the
Downtown Business (BD) zones, for proposed buildings in the CG zone that are taller than 35 feet
(buildings less than 35 feet tall would continue to be reviewed by staff as the process has been since
2007).
At the same time, when a proposed building in the CG zone is across the street from a single family
zone, the CG building would have to apply a step back on that side on the project unless the ADB finds
that the step back is not needed. Prior to Ordinance. 4283, Council had adopted a separate interim
ordinance that contained required step back language (Ord. 4278). That interim ordinance was
ultimately repealed but the step back concept for buildings across the street from single family zones
was included in Ordinance 4283.
Council held the required public hearing on interim Ordinance 4283 on January 17, 2023. No direction
was provided after the hearing whether the Council wanted to keep the interim ordinance or repeal it.
As a result, a resolution with findings of fact supporting retaining the ordinance is included as Exhibit 1
and an ordinance repealing Ordinance 4283 is included as Exhibit 2, depending on the Council's
preference.
Staff Recommendation
Staff is opposed to adding a building step back design requirement, in which ADB would have to
discretion to waive. The existing code already offers discretion on when to apply stepbacks. Making it a
standard requirement that can be waived places too much weight on that architectural element and
negates holistic design. Applicants will be inclined to hyper focus on that singular design element and
the ADB meetings may be consumed by this debate. This lends itself to projects becoming highly
politicized. The risk of expanding ADB's quasi judicial powers was addressed in Council Resolution 1367,
and it expresses Council's intent to remove themselves and volunteer citizen boards like the
Architectural Design Board from quasi-judicial reviews (quasi-judicial decisions involve the use of
discretionary judgment in project review). In contrast to Resolution 1367, Ordinance 4283 includes a
new set of projects for the ADB to review that are quasi-judicial decisions (quasi-judicial decisions
involve the use of discretionary judgment in project review).
Packet Pg. 157
9.1
Based on Council deliberation on this information, along with consideration of testimony on January 17,
staff recommends that Council either adopt the resolution in support of retaining Ordinance 4283 in
Exhibit 1 or the ordinance repealing Ord. 4283 in Exhibit 2.
Narrative
Note that the step back language as proposed in Ordinance 4283 would make both the new step back
across the street from single family zones AND the existing step back adjacent to single family zones
subject to ADB discretion. It is unknown if that was intended.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS,
WASHINGTON, ADOPTING FINDINGS OF FACT TO SUPPORT THE
ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE 4283, WHICH ADOPTED INTERIM SITE
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND PROCESSES FOR THE CG ZONE
WHEREAS, on December 10, 2022, the city council adopted Ordinance 4283, which established
interim site development standards and a modified design review process for buildings over thirty-
five feet in the CG zone; and
WHEREAS, the city council held a public hearing on January 17, 2023 to inform its deliberations on
whether to leave Ordinance 4283 in place; and
WHEREAS, the city council is required by RCW 36.70A.390 to adopt, no later than immediately
after the hearing, findings of fact justifying the adoption of Ordinance 4283; NOW THEREFORE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON, HEREBY
RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. ADOPTION OF FINDINGS.
A. The city council hereby adopts the above Whereas clauses and the Whereas clauses in
Ordinance 4283 as its findings of fact to support the adoption of Ordinance 4283.
B. The city council hereby adopts the following additional findings of fact to support the
adoption of Ordinance 4283:
1) Five years have passed since the 2017 adoption of Ordinance 4078, which updated
the CG site development standards in accordance with the Highway 99 Subarea Plan;
2) The occurrence of development in the subarea pursuant to those 2017 CG site
development standards has allowed for a greater understanding of the massing
allowed by those 2017 standards;
3) Some have questioned whether the impact of that massing might be inappropriate in
certain portions of the subarea, e.g., across the street from single-family zoned
neighborhoods;
4) While those impacts were discussed in 2017 at a theoretical level, it is appropriate to
revisit those questions in light of recent development in the subarea;
5) Prior to Ordinance 4283, certain zoning districts, like the BD zones, benefitted from
a heightened public process by having the design of projects in their districts
reviewed by the ADB;
6) Ordinance 4283 reduces an inequity between neighborhoods by affording the CG
zone a public design review process similar to that of the BD zone;
7) While the council may still want to review the use of the ADB for quasi-judicial
processes generally, processing design review decisions in the CG zone similarly to
those in the BD zone is an appropriate action in the short term;
Packet Pg. 159
9.1.a
8) The city council needs more time to evaluate the effectiveness of Ordinance 4283,
and would benefit from a planning board recommendation on that ordinance and
related subjects, which recommendation will also take time; and
9) The continued effectiveness of Ordinance 4283 will provide that time.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON,
REPEALING THE INTERIM DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS FOR
THE CG ZONE CONTAINED IN ORDINANCE 4283
WHEREAS, the City of Edmonds completed a subarea planning process for the Highway
99 corridor in 2017, which included adopting the subarea plan into the Comprehensive Plan
(Ord. 4077), updating the General Commercial zoning in Chapter 16.60 ECDC (Ord. 4078), and
establishing the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)

excluded upper story step back language that was contained in Alternative 2 to the Planned
Action EIS; and
WHEREAS, on October 4, 2022, the city council adopted Ordinance 4278 as an
emergency interim ordinance to establish upper story step backs for development across the
street from single family zones until additional consideration could be given to whether such step
backs should be adopted as a permanent regulation; and
WHEREAS, additional research was done after the adoption of Ordinance 4278, which
indicates that the 2017 city council expressly evaluated and rejected the upper story step backs
that were described in Alternative 2 to the Planned Action EIS and that their exclusion from
Ordinance 4078 was intentional; and
WHEREAS, the city council held a public hearing on whether to leave Ordinance 4278 in
effect; and
WHEREAS, public testimony was provided both for and against leaving Ordinance 4278
in effect; and
WHEREAS, the city council deliberated the merits of leaving Ordinance 4278 in effect
and ultimately determined to repeal Ordinance 4278 in favor of a different interim ordinance,
Ordinance 4283, adopted on December 10, 2022, which expanded the reach of the Architectural
Design Board's (ADB's) jurisdiction in the CG zone to include all buildings over thirty-five feet
in height; and
WHEREAS, on January 17, 2023, the city council held a public hearing on whether to
leave Ordinance 4283 in effect; and

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS,
WASHINGTON, EXPRESSING INTENT TO REMOVE THE CITY COUNCIL
AND OTHER VOLUNTEER CITIZEN BOARDS FROM QUASI-JUDICIAL
PERMIT PROCESSING TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW UPON
ADOPTION OF THE REVISED EDMONDS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
CODE.
WHEREAS, the city has undertaken a comprehensive review of the city's land use permit
processing regulations; and
WHEREAS, the city council has played a quasi-judicial role in certain land use permits for many
years; and
WHEREAS, the city council has been deliberating whether to continue serving in that role; and
WHEREAS, the city council understands that many citizens want the city council to serve in a
quasi-judicial role, believing that the council would be more responsive to the desires of the
public than a hearing examiner who is not elected; and
WHEREAS, that desire of some of the public underscores one of the main difficulties with the
council serving in that role, namely, that the council may be pressured to make a decision that
may be contrary to the standards that the council has adopted to govern such decision -making;
and
WHEREAS, that difficulty also increases the legal risk to both city and to the councilmembers
themselves; and
WHEREAS, council engagement in quasi-judicial decision -making also prevents the city council
from being able to freely discuss pending land use matters with constituents and suggests that
councilmembers should not testify before the hearing examiner out of concern that they might
later need to recuse themselves in the event of an appeal to the city council; and
WHEREAS, the city council believes that it can adopt additional procedures that will ensure that
the city council stays abreast of pending land use applications and that the public interest in
access to justice is adequately addressed; now therefore
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON, HEREBY
RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1, The city council intends to adopt revisions to the Edmonds Community Development
Code that will remove quasi-judicial decision -making responsibility from the city council and
other volunteer citizen boards to the extent allowed by state law.

ORDINANCE NO.4283
AN EMERGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS,
WASHINGTON, ADOPTING INTERIM DEVELOPMENT
REGULATIONS TO CREATE A PUBLIC DESIGN REVIEW PROCESS
FOR THE CG ZONE.
WHEREAS, the City of Edmonds completed a subarea planning process for the Highway
99 corridor in 2017, which included adopting the subarea plan into the Comprehensive Plan
(Ord. 4077), updating the General Commercial zoning in Chapter 16.60 ECDC (Ord. 4078), and
establishing the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
as a planned action (Ord. 4079); and
WHEREAS, concerns were raised in 2022 as to whether Ordinance 4078 properly
excluded upper story step back language that was contained in Alternative 2 to the Planned
Action EIS; and
WHEREAS, on October 4, 2022, the city council adopted Ordinance 4278 as an
emergency interim ordinance to establish upper story step backs for development across the
street from single family zones until additional consideration could be given to whether such step
backs should be adopted as a permanent regulation; and
WHEREAS, additional research was done after the adoption of Ordinance 4278, which
indicates that the 2017 city council expressly evaluated and rejected the upper story step backs
that were described in Alternative 2 to the Planned Action EIS and that their exclusion from
Ordinance 4078 was intentional; and
WHEREAS, the city council held a public hearing on whether to leave Ordinance 4278 in
effect; and
WHEREAS, public testimony was provided both for and against leaving Ordinance 4278
in effect; and
WHEREAS, the city council deliberated the merits of leaving Ordinance 4278 in effect
on November 15, 2022 and November 22, 2022 and ultimately determined to repeal Ordinance
4278; and
WHEREAS, the city council considers the step back concern to be indicative of a larger
procedural deficiency in the CG zone, namely, that Ordinance 4078 did not create any design
review process in which the public could meaningfully participate; and
WHEREAS, the creation of a public design review process (as opposed to a merely
administrative process) would allow concerned citizens to express design -related concerns
through a design review hearing on a project -specific basis; and
Packet Pg. 167

9.1.d
WHEREAS, in appropriate instances, step backs could be a result of the new design
review process, but, unlike through the initially proposed interim ordinance (Ordinance 4278),
step backs would not necessarily be required in every instance where a project is across the street
from a single-family zoned property; NOW, THEREFORE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS DOES ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. ECDC 16.60.030, entitled "Site development standards — Design," is
hereby amended to read as shown on Attachment A hereto (new text is shown in underline;
deleted text is shown in str4kethfough).
Section 2. ECDC 20.12.010, entitled "Applicability," is hereby amended to read as
shown on Attachment A hereto (new text is shown in underline; deleted text is shown in
Section 3. Duration of Interim Regulations Adopted in Sections 1 and 2. The interim
regulations adopted by sections 1 and 2 of this ordinance shall commence on the effective date of
this ordinance. As long as the city holds a public hearing on this ordinance and adopts findings
and conclusions in support of its continued effectiveness (as contemplated by Section 4 herein),
this ordinance shall not terminate until six (6) months after the effective date, unless it is
repealed sooner.
Section 4. Public Hearing on Interim Standards. Pursuant to RCW 36.70A.390 and
RCW 35A.63.220, the city council shall hold a public hearing on this interim ordinance within
sixty (60) days of its adoption. In this case, the hearing shall be held on January 17, 2023 unless
the city council, by subsequently adopted resolution, provides for a different hearing date. No
later than the next regular council meeting immediately following the hearing, the city council
shall adopt findings of fact on the subject of this interim ordinance and either justify its
continued effectiveness or repeal the interim ordinance.

Section 5. Applicability of Sections 1 and 2 to Pending Applications. Any pending
application for design review that has not yet received a staff decision under ECDC 20.12.030.13
and that would be within the scope of applicability for ADB review pursuant to ECDC 20.12.010
(as amended by this ordinance) shall receive a staff recommendation to the ADB who will make
the final decision on the design of the project following a public hearing under ECDC 20.12.020
instead of a staff decision under ECDC 20.12.030.B.
Section 6. Severability. If any section, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance
should be held to be unconstitutional or unlawful by a court of competent jurisdiction, such
invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity or constitutionality of any other
section, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance.
Section 7. Declaration of Emergency. This ordinance, being an exercise of a power
specifically delegated to the city council, is not subject to referendum. Because it is not subject to
referendum, RCW 35A.12.130 applies. Pursuant to RCW 35A.12.130, this ordinance shall take
effect immediately upon passage by a majority vote plus one of the whole membership of the
city council. The city council hereby declares that an emergency exists necessitating that this
ordinance take immediate effect. Without an immediate adoption of the interim regulations
described herein, development applications could become vested, leading to the development of
property without public input as to the design of the development. Therefore, these interim
regulations must be imposed as an emergency measure to protect the public health, safety, and
welfare, and to prevent the vesting of building permit applications to other regulations. This
ordinance does not affect any existing vested rights.
Section 8. Publication. This ordinance shall be published by an approved summary
consisting of the title.

1 20.12.005 Outline of process and statement of intent.
The architectural design board (ADB) process has been developed in order to provide for public and
design professional input prior to the expense incurred by a developer in preparation of detailed
design. In combination, Chapter 20.10 ECDC and this chapter are intended to permit public and ADB
input at an early point in the process while providing greater assurance to a developer that his
general project design has been approved before the final significant expense of detailed project
design is incurred. In general, the process is as follows:
A. Public Hearing (Phase 1). The applicant shall submit a preliminary conceptual design to the city.
Staff shall schedule the first phase of the ADB hearing within 30 days of staff's determination that the
application is complete. Upon receipt, staff shall provide full notice of a public hearing, noting that
the public hearing shall be conducted in two phases. The entire single public hearing on the
conceptual design shall be on the record. At the initial phase, the applicant shall present facts which
describe in detail the tract of land to be developed noting all significant characteristics. The ADB shall
make factual findings regarding the particular characteristics of the property and shall prioritize the
design guideline checklist based upon these facts, the provisions of the city's design guideline
elements of the comprehensive plan and the Edmonds Community Development Code. Following
establishment of the design guideline checklist, the public hearing shall be continued to a date
certain requested by the applicant, not to exceed 120 days from the meeting date. The 120-day city
review period required by RCW 36.7013.080 commences with the application for Phase 1 of the public
hearing. The 120-day time period is suspended, however, while the applicant further develops their
application for Phase 2 of the public hearing. This suspension is based upon the finding of the city
council, pursuant to RCW 36.7013.080, that additional time is required to process this project type.
The city has no control over the length of time needed or taken by an applicant to complete its
application.
B. Continued Public Hearing (Public Hearing, Phase 2). The purpose of the continuance is to permit
the applicant to design or redesign his initial conceptual design to address the input of the public
and the ADB by complying with the prioritized design guideline checklist criteria. When the applicant
has completed his design or redesign, he shall submit that design for final review. The matter shall be
set for the next available regular ADB meeting date. If the applicant fails to submit his or her design
within 180 days, the staff shall report the matter to the ADB who shall note that the applicant has

ATTACHMENT A
failed to comply with the requirements of the code and find that the original design checklist criteria
approval is void. The applicant may reapply at any time. Such reapplication shall establish a new 120-
day review period and establish a new vesting date.
C. After completing the hearing process, the final detailed design shall be presented to the city in
conjunction with the applicable building permit application. The city staff's decision on the building
permit shall be a ministerial act applying the specific conditions or requirements set forth in the
ADB's approval, but only those requirements. A staff decision on the building permit shall be final
and appealable only as provided in the Land Use Petition Act. No other internal appeal of the staff's
ministerial decisions on the building permit is allowed.
D. The process is schematically represented by the following flow chart:

20.12.010 Applicability.
The architectural design board (ADB) shall review all proposed developments in the Downtown
Business (BD) zones that require a threshold determination under the State Environmental Policy Act
(SEPA) using the process set forth in ECDC 20.12.020. All other developments in the Downtown
Business (BD) zones may be approved by staff as a Type I decision using the process set forth in
ECDC 20.12.030. When design review is required by the ADB under ECDC 20.12.020, the application
shall be processed as a Type III -A decision.
In the General Commercial (CG) zone, -_design review by the architectural design board is required
for anv Droiect that includes buildinas exceedina 7-535 feet in heiaht as identified in ECDC 16.60.020
regardless of whether a SEPA threshold determination is required. When design review is required
by the ADB, the application is processed as a Type III -A decision using the procedure in ECDC

20.12.020 Design review by the architectural design board.
A. Public Hearing — Phase 1. Phase 1 of the public hearing shall be scheduled with the architectural
design board (ADB) as a public meeting. Notice of the meeting shall be provided according to the
requirements of ECDC 20.03.003. This notice may be combined with the formal notice of application
required under ECDC 20.03.002, as appropriate.
1. The purpose of Phase 1 of the public hearing is for the ADB to identify the relative
importance of design criteria that will apply to the project proposal during the subsequent
design review. The basic criteria to be evaluated are listed on the design guidelines checklist
contained within the design guidelines and this chapter. The ADB shall utilize the urban design
guidelines and standards contained in the relevant city zoning classification (s), any relevant
district -specific design objectives contained in the comprehensive plan, and the relevant
portions of this chapter and Chapter 20.13 ECDC, to identify the relative importance of design
criteria; no new, additional criteria shall be incorporated, whether proposed in light of the
specific characteristics of a particular tract of land or on an ad hoc basis.
2. Prior to scheduling Phase 1 of the public hearing, the applicant shall submit information
necessary to identify the scope and context of the proposed development, including any site
plans, diagrams, and/or elevations sufficient to summarize the character of the project, its site,
and neighboring property information. At a minimum, an applicant shall submit the following
information for consideration during Phase 1 of the public hearing:
a. Vicinity plan showing all significant physical structures and environmentally critical
areas within a 200-foot radius of the site including, but not limited to, surrounding
building outlines, streets, driveways, sidewalks, bus stops, and land use. Aerial
photographs may be used to develop this information.
b. Conceptual site plan(s) showing topography (minimum two -foot intervals), general
location of building(s), areas devoted to parking, streets and access, existing open space
and vegetation. All concepts being considered for the property should be submitted to
assist the ADB in defining all pertinent issues applicable to the site.
c. Three-dimensional sketches, photo simulations, or elevations that depict the volume of
the proposed structure in relation to the surrounding buildings and improvements.
3. During Phase 1 of the public hearing, the applicant shall be afforded an opportunity to
present information on the proposed project. The public shall also be invited to address which
design guidelines checklist criteria from ECDC 20.12.070 they feel are pertinent to the project.

ATTACHMENT A
9.1.d
The Phase 1 meeting shall be considered to be a public hearing and information presented or
discussed during the meeting shall be recorded as part of the hearing record.
4. Prior to the close of Phase 1 of the public hearing, the ADB shall identify the specific design
guidelines checklist criteria — and their relative importance — that will be applied to the project
during the project's subsequent design review. In submitting an application for design review
approval under this chapter, the applicant shall be responsible for identifying how the
proposed project meets the specific criteria identified by the ADB during Phase 1 of the public
hearing.
5. Following establishment of the design guidelines checklist, the public hearing shall be
continued to a date certain, not exceeding 120 days from the date of Phase 1 of the public
hearing. The continuance is intended to provide the applicant with sufficient time to prepare
the material required for Phase 1 of the public hearing, including any design or redesign
needed to address the input of the public and ADB during Phase 1 of the public hearing by
complying with the prioritized checklist.
6. Because Phase 1 of the public hearing is only the first part of a two-part public hearing,
there can be no appeal of the design decision until Phase 2 of the public hearing has been
completed and a final decision rendered.
B. Continued Public Hearing — Phase 2.
1. An applicant for Phase 2 design review shall submit information sufficient to evaluate how
the project meets the criteria identified by the ADB during Phase 1 of the public hearing
described in subsection (A) of this section. At a minimum, an applicant shall submit the
following information for consideration during Phase 2 of the public hearing:
a. Conceptual site plan showing topography (minimum two -foot intervals), general layout
of building, parking, streets and access, and proposed open space.
b. Conceptual landscape plan, showing locations of planting areas identifying landscape
types, including general plant species and characteristics.
c. Conceptual utility plan, showing access to and areas reserved for water, sewer, storm,
electrical power, and fire connections and/or hydrants.
d. Conceptual building elevations for all building faces illustrating building massing and
openings, materials and colors, and roof forms. A three-dimensional model may be
substituted for the building elevation(s).
e. If more than one development concept is being considered for the property, the
submissions should be developed to clearly identify the development options being
considered.

f. An annotated checklist demonstrating how the project complies with the specific
criteria identified by the ADB.
g. Optional: generalized building floor plans may be provided.
2. Staff shall prepare a report summarizing the project and providing any comments or
recommendations regarding the annotated checklist provided by the applicant under
subsection (13)(1)(f) of this section, as appropriate. The report shall be mailed to the applicant
and ADB at least one week prior to the public hearing.
3. Phase 2 of the public hearing shall be conducted by the ADB as a continuation of the Phase
1 public hearing. Notice of the meeting shall be provided according to the requirements of
Chapter 20.03 ECDC. During Phase 2 of the public hearing, the ADB shall review the application
and identify any conditions that the proposal must meet prior to the issuance of any permit or
approval by the city. When conducting this review, the ADB shall enter the following findings
prior to issuing its decision on the proposal:
a. Zoning Ordinance. The proposal meets the bulk and use requirements of the zoning
ordinance, or a variance or modification has been approved under the terms of this code
for any duration. The finding of the staff that a proposal meets the bulk and use
requirements of the zoning ordinance shall be given substantial deference and may be
overcome by clear and convincing evidence.
b. Design Objectives. The proposal meets the relevant district -specific design objectives
contained in the comprehensive plan.
c. Design Criteria. The proposal satisfies the specific checklist criteria identified by the ADB
during Phase 1 of the public hearing under subsection (A) of this section. When
conducting its review, the ADB shall not add or impose conditions based on new,
additional criteria proposed in light of the specific characteristics of a particular tract of
land or on an ad hoc basis.
4. Project Consolidation. Projects may be consolidated in accordance with RCW 36.7013.110 and
the terms of the Edmonds Community Development Code.
C. Effect of the Decision of the ADB. The decision of the ADB described in subsection (B) of this
section shall be used by staff to determine if a project complies with the requirements of these
chapters during staff review of any subsequent applications for permits or approvals. The staff's
determination shall be purely ministerial in nature and no discretion is granted to deviate from the
requirements imposed by the ADB and the Edmonds Community Development Code. The staff
process shall be akin to and administered in conjunction with building permit approval, as applicable
Written notice shall be provided to any party of record (as developed in Phases 1 and 2 of the public
hearing) who formally requests notice as to:
