heard the proposal but asked that the Court Administrator, Asst. Police Chief and Personnel Director come
back with a resolution. This is the item presented, and he and Councilmember Myers feel it should be
approved. It was the consensus of the Finance Department that the money be taken from the Council
Contingency Fund. However, that was not the recommendation of the Committee, but of Staff. It was
questioned whether there was another place from which to take the funds. There were no responses.

3. AUDIENCE
Scott Mayhew, 20421 - 88th Avenue West, Edmonds, was the first on the sign-up sheet. He deferred to
Rob King.
Rob King, 20503 - 88th Avenue West, Edmonds, read into the record, and provided copies to Council, a
complaint and explanation. There are eight participating residents on 88th and the surrounding streets that
21q share these views. All eight are listed on the exhibit, and the individual complaints and/or concerns are
attached to the back. The presentation regarded LID No. 214. Concerns included timing, parking, and
access issues for those living on the street. Residents were promised certain things at the commencement
which set their minds somewhat at ease regarding the finish. All the way through the process they have
been given lip service or buck -passing to what they feel is a totally incomplete project. He cited the
promises they indicate were made and broken. Claims have yet to be acted upon due to the City's inability
to respond to the contractor's insurance request. The project remains incomplete, and the condition of the
properties were left in an unacceptable condition. They will not acknowledge the completion of LID
No. 214 until all concerns, complaints and issues are settled to their complete satisfaction.
Council President Petruzzi noted this item has come up a number of times. Since it was not getting
resolved, Mr. Petruzzi suggested this matter be referred to the Community Services.
Scott Mayhew, 20421 - 88th Avenue West, Edmonds, has turned in numerous claims to the City which
L 1D have been sent on to the contractor who disclaims anything and blames the City. The City in turn blames
1 llq the contractor. He read the last letter he received from the insurance company, Maryland Insurance
Company, suggesting his vehicle damage be reported to his insurance company. Mr. Mayhew then
referenced conversations with Gordy Hyde and Chuck Day. He would like guidance on what can be done,
and perhaps some pressure exerted upon TidyCo Construction Company to get these problems resolved.
Jan Kavadas, 217 Alder Street #305, Edmonds, was present as a competitive swimmer and official to
�a�Ti k support a 50-meter pool for both competitive and fitness swimmers. She provided Council with a letter
from the Northwest Association of Master Swimmers with their support. She would support a 50-meter
pool, would support putting it on the ballot, and would support it through her use.

Mickey Molde advised that about a year ago, her ARMA chapter had been contacted for help by Dia
Bock, newly designated Records Manager. Her chapter, with the able assistance of Tommy Bonneville of
the City of Bellevue and U.W. Intern Bill Galanti, worked with Ms. Bock to put together a records
management program. Ms. Molde indicated her chapter was stunned by the amount accomplished in such
a short time. She described some of the accomplishments. It was noted that 43% of the City's inactive
records had been authorized for destruction. One of the goals for next year is the establishment of a
records center facility. Ms. Molde then presented the very first Above and Beyond Award to Paul Mar,
applauding the City's recognition of a records management program, the perseverance to see it implemented
in the Community Services Department, and its foresight to promote a sound records management program
city wide.
Paul Mar proudly accepted the award on behalf of the City Staff. Mr. Mar reiterated that 43% of the files
have been marked for destruction -- 650 banker boxes. He then described the size area that would be
cleared by the file destruction. Mr. Mar also recognized Dia Bock and introduced Bill Galanti.
5. HEARING ON ORDINANCE AMENDING ECDC TO ESTABLISH A NEW CHAPTER 16.90
A FOR A PUBLIC USE/OVERLAY ZONE, AND AMENDING ECDC CHAPTER 20.30
REGARDING JOINT USE PARKING BY ADDING A NEW SECTION 20.30.035 (Nile No.
wl CDC-95-59)
Current Planning Supervisor Rob Chave introduced the subject matter and provided a chronological -
history. This matter was initially the result of a request by a downtown property owner who was interested
in applying a public use zone to their property. Since then the rezone request has been withdrawn. It was
an attempt to apply public use zoning while retaining the standards of the downtown development. The
Planning Board considered the issue and recommended that the City not proceed with the rezone at this
time. Mr. Chave stated that if this rezone is turned down, Staff will continue to work with the Planning
Board to look at the issue as it is related to Comprehensive Plan implementation and regulatory reform.
Mr. Chave believes the idea of establishing public uses compatible with the BC zone makes good sense, and
there should be a way to do it that would also be compatible with the Master Plan concepts that have been
developing in the Comprehensive Plan. Staff is in agreement with the Planning Board.
Councilmember Kasper questioned the Conditional Use Permit issue and why Council should get into this.
Mr. Chave advised that the Conditional Use Permit was not up for discussion. Mr. Kasper pointed out that
there was also no application. Mr. Chave responded that this is not a site -specific proposal but a code
amendment. Councilmember Kasper asked if City Attorney Scott Snyder had agreed with all of the
statements contained in the Agenda Memo. Mr. Snyder advised that it was his understanding that Staff was
uncomfortable about withdrawing this application even though, in effect, it has been mooted by the change
in the applicant's plans. Mr. Chave said you have to distinguish between the potential rezone request
versus amending the code; amending the code is not property -specific. Councilmember Kasper again
expressed concern over various statements contained in the Planning Board documents and asked for Mr.
Snyder's opinion. Mr. Snyder does not sponsor any factual statement. If Council does not enact this, the
City still has the ability to approve under the BC zone this construction by Conditional Use Permit or to
rezone the property to the current public use zone which has the limitations to which the Planning Board
referred -- Council would be creating some inconsistent setbacks.
Councilmember Fahey asked for clarification regarding the Carnegie Museum. Mr. Chave confirmed that
it has been grandfathered in. Ms. Fahey also confirmed the need of Staff for direction to move forward
with evaluating the zoning in this area and come forth with a new proposal for possibly a rewriting of that

ordinance. Mr. Chave said it should be considered in terms of Master Planning. Ms. Fahey also raised the
concern of joint use parking. Mr. Chave indicated he thinks it needs to be looked at not only in terms of
public uses, but also a larger body of uses in general. It was then confirmed that these two issues will fold
into the regulatory reform package and Master Plan implementation on which they are currently working.
Councilmember Hall feels anything that can be done to encourage joint use parking would be
advantageous.
Councilmember Kasper thinks Transportation Demand Management (TDM) should be brought into it. He
believes the entire thing must be measured and not taken piece by piece. He thinks it will have to apply as
far as how much the City has to build for its own use. Mr. Chave, agreed that TDM does need to be
addressed in any discussions.
Paul Mar commented that the overlay and parking should be two separate issues and agreed that TDM
needs to be included. Mr. Chave suggested a discussion could be had on the parking issue when the
Parking Committee reports to Council in August and that it would be a good time to come up with some
approaches and get direction.
Councilmember Kasper expressed concern over all of the current non -conforming parking and suggested a
need for a temporary permit system.
Mayor Hall opened the public portion of the meeting.
Rob Morrison, 250 Beach Place, said he was not in attendance at the Planning Board meeting. He wished
to go on record to add his "no" vote to that recommendation.
Roger Hertrich, 1020 Puget Drive, questioned whether a new chapter had been created. He feels that this
was very much site specific originally. He attended the Planning Board meeting with the no vote and would
concur. He thinks that in some respects what is being considered is unfair to what the other businesses in
the area have been able to do because parking is and has been a problem. Mr. Chave deferred to City
Attorney Snyder to answer Mr. Hertrich's question concerning the new chapter. Mr. Snyder's understanding
is that the Planning Board's recommendation and the Staff recommendation were a no vote on the ordinance
which would not create a chapter.
The public portion of the hearing was closed, and the matter was remanded to Council.
In regards to the ordinance amending ECDC Chapter 16.90 for public use overlay zone and
amendment of ECDC Chapter 20.30 regarding joint use parking by adding a new section
20.30.035 (File No. CDC-95-59), COUNCIL PRESIDENT PETRUZZI MOVED,
SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO ADOPT THE PLANNING BOARD
RECOMMENDATION AND DENY THE NEW CHAPTER. MOTION CARRIED.
6. HEARING ON AN APPEAL OF THE HEARING EXAMINER DECISION TO DENY A
NjER VARIANCE FOR A SHED TO BE LOCATED IN THE STREET SETBACK; SUBMITTED
)2� �� 1d• UNDER FILE NO. V-95-46 FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 22021 76TH AVENUE WEST
7g (Applicant/Appellant: Mark Travers / File No. AP-95-91)
Current Planning Supervisor Jeff Wilson identified for Council the parties involved and provided the
history and chronology. He used an overhead projector to show a vicinity map and site plan. He also
provided Council with photos of the property. In 1995, Mr. Campbell and Mr. Travers requested a
CITY COUNCIL, APPROVED N04=S
DULY 18,1995
PAGE 5
variance in order to construct the shed under discussion tonight. This shed was built without the benefit of
permits, and a stop work order began the process for the applicant to seek the variance. The purpose of the
variance application was to provide storage space for the applicant's belongings.
The Hearing Examiner held a hearing on June 2, 1995 and issued a decision to deny the requested variance.
Subsequent to that, the appeal was filed to overturn the decision. In the Hearing Examiner's review and
Staffs review of the variance application, it appears to be inconsistent with the applicant's previously
approved variance or setback adjustment to allow the construction of a three car garage, in that that request
was to specifically allow for'storage of all of the applicant's belongings without necessitating any additional
construction to be developed on the property. It was felt that the proposal for this current variance was not
consistent with the building criteria and was denied.
Charlie Campbell, 22021 - 76th West, and Mark Travers, 834 So. Donovan, Seattle, WA 98108, were
present on behalf of the applicant Mr. Campbell. Mr. Campbell stated the biggest problem was that there
was an ordinance passed, and it seems like the ordinance is etched in stone. When he read the Findings of
Fact it seems to favor him, and then it all comes to the ordinance. He spent a lot of time designing his
property. The asphalt to which Mr. Wilson referred was not paid for by the City but by Mr. Campbell. He
went on to explain he has a 40' trailer and another half trailer of possessions for which he has no room. He
discussed the detriment to him if a revised plan as suggested were utilized. Mr. Campbell provided to City
Clerk Sandy Chase additional photographs supporting his position. He declared that he has one of the best
yards in the city of Edmonds and takes pride in his property. He just wants to utilize his property to the
best use possible. Mr. Campbell went on to indicate that while he knew a permit was needed to build a
garage, he was not aware that one was needed to construct the shed. He said that as no one was present at
the last hearing in opposition, he does not understand the decision. He says it is Council's responsibility to
work with the citizens.
Mark Travers added that he thinks the basis of this issue goes back to the 1993 zoning code which
changed after Mr. Campbell built his initial garage. That zoning code allowed a condition called a
landscape feature or natural feature. That was the basis for allowing this setback adjustment to be made.
After Mr. Campbell completed his garage and then decided he needed more space and continued on with the
shed, he was working under the assumption that he was in compliance with the original ordinance which
had since changed. This is a request to grandfather this portion of the garage in under that previous
granting.
Mayor Hall opened the public portion of the hearing.
Evangeline McDermott, 22124 - 76th Avenue West #B, stated her belief that the zoning law in this case
should not be etched in concrete. She noted Mr. Campbell has improved the property and that the
improvement is beneficial to the neighborhood. She favors approval of the application.
The public portion of the hearing was closed.
City Attorney Snyder commented for the applicant and the public that the Council has a difficult time in
situations where there is no opposition and someone wants to do a good thing with their property and be
provided some relief under the City's variance provisions. For better or worse, the City's zoning
provisions are to a certain extent cast in concrete. Council ability to limit or grant a variance is required by
the ordinance is to satisfy each and every one of some very restrictive criteria. The other issue he addressed
which is always difficult in variances is that the right to grant is not personal to this property owner but
runs with the land.

Councilmember Hall initiated discussion on what would be required in order to bring this shed into
compliance with the code. Mr. Wilson advised that the problem is that the Southern 7'/2 feet of shed would
have to be removed because of setback requirements.
Council President Petruzzi noted that it is very difficult for Council because as Mr. Snyder pointed out
Council has to follow the variance codes of the City. Something like this was compounded by the fact that
Mr. Campbell has twice started construction without filing for building permits. He then confirmed with
Mr. Wilson that the garage was subject to a stop work order for lack of permit. He noted that had this shed
had a building permit application the problem probably would not Dave occurred, and it could have been
explained that it needed to be 15' from the property line. Mr. Petruzzi said he found it very difficult to
anything other than uphold the Hearing Examiner decision.
Councilmember Kasper questioned when the RM zoning amendment occurred in this area. Mr. Wilson did
not have personal knowledge of when that occurred. Mr. Kasper then questioned whether the shed would
bring it over the 35% lot coverage. Based on information available, Mr. Wilson would have concerns as to
that. He is uncertain whether it has been evaluated by engineering. Discussion followed as to the shed
being the only non-compliance item. Other structures were done by valid permits with approved
adjustments.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT PETRUZZI MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER,
TO REOPEN THE PUBLIC PORTION FOR REBUTTAL BY MR. CAMPBELL. MOTION
CARRIED.
Charlie Campbell, 22021 - 76th West, exclaimed that he did have a permit to build the garage. He
questioned why it was being stated he did not. Mr. Campbell feels that if the garage was granted at 7'/2'
through a variance, he sees no reason why, through common sense, the shed could not have the same
setback.
Council President Petruzzi clarified for Mr. Campbell that the indication was not that he did not have a
permit to build the garage, but that he did not have one when the work was commenced. Mr. Campbell
indicated the records were wrong. Mr. Campbell reiterated that he is trying to use common sense and
exercise his rights as a citizen. His house is located on a dead end street, and no other property is effected.
The public portion was again closed.
City Attorney Snyder then addressed what happened with the ordinance. In the past the City's setback
adjustment allowed a setback adjustment to preserve a natural feature. He reminded Council the City's
Hearing Examiner Driscoll during numerous reports through the years indicated it was so vague as to not
being able to be applied. His decision was then to grant them until something happened. The ability to
make setback adjustments with the idea of preserving a natural feature or providing some architecturally
significant change was deleted by City Council.
Council President Petruzzi questioned Mr. Snyder as to other potential avenues. He further expressed
concern that if this were allowed, all residents would want to place outbuildings within the setback areas to
provide for maximum yard with the same type of argument. The criteria for variance are pretty stringent.
He sees this property as failing in three of the categories.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT PETRUZZI MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER MYERS, TO
UPHOLD THE HEARING EXAMINER'S DECISION BASED ON THE FACTS AS PRESENTED.

Councilmember Kasper noted his intent to vote against the motion because of the transition. He thinks this
should be a conditional use issue. He indicated the surrounding area was now used for car parking; the
rear is all commercial except for Lot 9 at the end of the culdesac. He suggested the variance be denied and
the matter come back as a conditional use permit application.
MOTION CARRIED.
��R1�16 7. HEARING ON CABLE TELEVISION CONSUMER AND CIVIC LEADER SURVEY RESULTS
E
AS PART OF FRANCHISE RENEWAL PROCESS
CABL
Community Services Director Paul Mar introduced the subject and advised Council that also available
for questions were Miles Overholt, consultant from 3-H Cable Communication Consultants, and Sylvia
Sycamore, Vice -President of Chambers Cable and Jack Radmore, attorney for Chambers Cable. Mr. Mar
used the overhead projector to show some of the findings of the survey. He then called Council attention to
Consumer Needs Assessment report in their packets. Page 2 of the survey showed that of the 15,000
surveys mailed, there was a return of over 23%. He noted that in his experience, this is the highest return
he has seen. He further noted that almost two-thirds of the respondents took the time to add written
comments (84 pages). These comments are included as Appendix B of the report. Mr. Mar then went
through the various charts included in the report concerning how Edmonds compares with other cities,
access channels and schools (INET). He corrected the report's claim to reflect 29 interviews of civic
leaders instead of 62.
Miles Overholt, 8320 Frederick Place, Edmonds, requested that the City make known its needs, what the
public would pay for and what it would not, and discussed the cable company's ability to the things
requested by the survey results.
The public portion of the hearing was opened.
Steven Greenebaum, 1114 Daly Place, Edmonds, indicated he had not seen the report but that he
presumed most of the customer complaints were contained in it. The issue he wished to address was the
length of any renewal granted. He asked that the Council not chain the citizens to Chambers for a lengthy
renewal. He said there are a lot of unhappy people who are watching to see what Council does and urged
Council, if is feels it must renew, to do so for as short a time as possible.
Sylvia Sycamore, Senior Vice president for Chambers Cable, 2225 Coburg Road, Eugene, Oregon,
expressed pleasure at seeing the report and at moving along in a renewal process. She said she was
impressed with the response and concern. She also expressed appreciation for the effort taken in the
response process. She noted it was clear that the people are interested in more variety in programming.
Chambers knows that is what people want; and when they have a rebuilt and expanded channel capacity,
that issue can be addressed. Ms. Sycamore commented that another point came out clearly in the report,
and that is that the people seem to be content with the rates the way they are and expressed concern about
any changes that would automatically result in higher rates. It is Chambers desire to make sure that they
reach a happy medium so that they are giving the people what they want but not at a price where they
decide they don't want it.
Council President Petruzzi advised Ms. Sycamore that there are numerous negative things in the report. He
asked her to really look at the complaints. Ms. Sycamore assured him they would be closely reviewed with
a view toward what can be done.

Councilmember Myers questioned the shortage of channels and asked why the Home Shopping Network
appeared on two different channels. He was advised that it was being used as fill to hold the channel free
until something else could be placed onto it.
Councilmember Hall indicated that the people have expressed interest in government and public access. He
is interested in knowing whether Chambers would be transferring some of these costs on access channels to
the people. He also questioned why they have not already been provided without charge under federal law.
Ms. Sycamore responded that if there were specific requirements in new agreements, she will see that they
pass those through. If access channels are included and there is a cost, it is expected those would be passed
on to the public. Councilmember Hall confirmed with Ms. Sycamore that she does not believe there is
presently a requirement to provide free public access at this time.
Councilmember Kasper believes the real issue is programming. Councilmember Fahey asked for
articulation of the company's plan to enhance their ability in the near future to provide more channels to the
community. Ms. Sycamore answered that they would depend upon whether they were renewed. They
would at that time be able to tell Council what the plans are. Planning will be based on this report and the
entire technical report and anything the cable consultant presents to them. She was hesitant to discuss
specifics until that point is reached.
Council President Petruzzi read into the record a letter from Gunnar Eklund, 7718 - 216th S.W. He
indicated it was difficult for him to write or speak. The bottom line of Mr. Eklund's opinion was that if
Chambers cannot compete then Council should get rid of them.
Dave Fordyce, 813 - 12th Place North, Edmonds, has written Chambers several times on this issue. Of
the seven major cable companies in Puget Sound, six offer CNBC. Chambers does not. He thinks this
information is needed and finds it hard to understand why Chambers is not able to provide the channel. He
also agrees that Council should not enter into a long-term agreement. If Chambers is going to stay, why
don't they have a plan right now for future programming. On a positive note, Mr. Fordyce said they have
done a find job of improving the quality of signal and that they should be applauded for that. He also noted
that service is good. He also believes the whole issue is programming and making sure the citizens of
Edmonds have the same access to good programming as the rest of Puget Sound. He feels Council should
require a definite plan on how Chambers is going to survey Edmonds and make changes.
Councilmember Nordquist questioned the process of drafting a Request for Franchise Renewal Proposal
and precisely what criteria was needed. He then noted that Councilmembers Fahey and Hall were
designated as members of the negotiating team.
Mr. Overholt indicated he could speak to broad issues but not specific programming. Regarding customer
complaints, they will go down the line and address all concerns listed. He advised that federal government
provides for 36 months to get this going.
Councilmember Nordquist confirmed with Mr. Snyder that the City can put together a proposal with what
it wants and go to Chambers with it. Mr. Nordquist then asked Mr. Mar if it were possible for more of the
Council members to be involved as he would like to be in on some of the discussions. It was confirmed
who would have access to the discussion, and Councilmember Nordquist was invited to become involved.
Mayor Hail asked Mr. Overholt what incentive Chambers has and what would be done differently than in
the past. Mr. Overholt surmised that more channels would be needed in order to survive. They must also

look at the response to access channels and must look at cost. Most other operators have absorbed the cost
Ms. Sycamore is talking about passing it on to the customers.
COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO
AUTHORIZE STAFF TO DIRECT THE CONSULTANT TO PREPARE A DRAFT REQUEST FOR
FRANCHISE RENEWAL PROPOSAL (RFP) REFLECTIVE OF THE COMMUNITY'S CABLE
RELATED NEEDS AND INTERESTS.
Councilmember Myers hopes there will be some citizen input regarding programming. He also
complimented Ms Sycamore on her courage to come before Council. Councilmember Earling
noted the similarity between Mercer Island and Edmonds. He would support the motion because
he is hopeful that Chambers will become aware that Edmonds does care about its citizens, and
Chambers should show some open-mindedness and commitment.

T1 8. REPORT ON TELEPHONE SURVEY REGARDING FAMILY/COMMUNITY AQUATIC
A190 CENTER FROM EMC
CEO
'501 gy Parks and Recreations Manager Arvilla Ohlde introduced Tom Quillin, a representative of
Evans/McDonough Company, Inc., who brought the public telephone survey results regarding the
family/community aquatic center and will answer any questions on the findings. Council was advised there
were 300 persons interviewed in the survey. Councilmember Earling confirmed that these individuals were
randomly selected registered voters.
Tom Quillin noted there was some concern regarding increasing taxes. The majority agreed that taxes are
too high. When asked whether they would consider some particular tax, the majority disagree with the
statement they would oppose any property tax increase regardless of purpose. There was an even split
when the people were asked to agree or disagree with the statement of need for an indoor pool in Edmonds.
After providing more information after the initial questioning of attitude, a shift in attitude of 20% was
reported.
Councilmember Earling asked whether in other kinds of comparisons regarding obligation bonds this 20%
shift was typical or atypical. Mr. Quillin responded that they often see a shift, but not this much of a shift.
He called this shift significant.
Mr. Quillin then reported that with regard to pool location, there was a 2-1 margin favoring the high school
location.
Mayor Hall asked how many individuals in the room had been questioned; there was one response.
Councilmember Earling asked if this was a true sample as to age, whether there was an equal split between
zip codes, and whether it was spread evenly across the community. He confirmed proportionate
representation. Paul Mar then used the overhead to show the 1990 census breakdowns and discussed
demographic comparisons. He also added that approximately half of the respondents live in the 98020 zip
code and half live in the 98026 zip code.
Councilmember Earling asked Ms. Ohlde what kinds of grants might be available to the City for a project
like this. Ms. Ohlde is looking into that area but does not at this time have all the information. She stated

it may be appropriate to go to the representatives. Typical fundings which requires an actual site is not
available at this time. It has also been recommended to her that the City go to its Senators.
Mr. Mar called Council attention to the Staffs recommended action. Councilmember Fahey commented on
the recommended action. She feels in addition to the recommended action there are two additional items
that need to be happening. During the time between now and the time this could go to the public with a
bond issue they should try to gain information on facilities like this from other parts of the country where
there are some very successful programs that have a revenue -generating effect. She feels there needs to be
dissemination of more information on long-term economic benefits to the community as a whole to help
make them realize that in creating this facility that they will still get benefit even if they are not among
those to use the facility. Ms. Fahey also suggested a desire to expand on recommendation 4 regarding the
authorization for the Mayor to sign the contract amendment with DeWilliam/Charf to work with the
Edmonds School District to determine potential cost savings due to sharing of infrastructure development.
Personally, Councilmember Fahey favors all of the recommended actions.
Mayor Hall asked Mr. Mar for the "drop dead" date on dealing with the School District. There is no real
"drop dead" date. The high school design project is in the design development phase which will be
completed in late August or early September. They will then go into the next phases. The first window of
opportunity is to get with them now. The second window is when they start building -- between now and
Labor Day.
Council President Petruzzi commented to Ms. Ohlde and Mr. Mar that he is in favor of a pool with the
additional material update provided, having seen the results of the survey, possible financial benefits, etc.
His one concern is that this is a regional pool and not just for the citizens of Edmonds. He recognizes the
problem with taxing districts but thinks there is nothing stopping the City from entering into a multi -
municipality agreement where each one agrees to put up a bond for $X.XX capital, with the building
remaining the property of Edmonds. That type of approach he would wholeheartedly support. He thinks
that in looking at the survey, there is a lot of work to get 60% approval.
Councilmember Myers agreed that the economic impact to the community is an economic impact for the
entire area and that other municipalities should be involved.
Mayor Hall had been to the South Snohomish County Mayor's meeting today. At first the sense was
negative, but after much discussion, the attitude began to change.
Councilmember Earling said a good job had been done with the numbers. He asked for and received a
narrative from Mr. Quillin as to where the good news is and where there is work that needs to be done. Mr.
Quillin indicated the positive news is the extent to which the numbers shift indicate a willingness to
consider additional taxes for certain things. The bottom line is a need for presenting information to the
public.
Councilmember Myers thinks the citizens will see the merit of putting this pool in in conjunction with the
School District. He believes, however, the first priority needs to be the public safety bond. He thinks the
School District should be advised of where Council stands.
Councilmember Kasper is in favor of the pool but does not want to commit to September 1996 until after
the public safety bond issue has passed.

COUNCELMEM 3ER EARLING MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEM 3ER FAHEY, TO, AS
THE NEXT STEP IN EXPLORING LESSENING THE FINANCIAL BURDEN, AUTHORIZE THE
MAYOR TO SIGN A CONTRACT AMENDMENT WITH DEWILLIAM/CHARF FOR AN
AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $5,000 TO WORK WITH THE EDMONDS SCHOOL DISTRICT TO
DETERMINE POTENTIAL COST SAVINGS DUE TO SHARING OF INFRASTRUCTURE
DEVELOPMENT, THE FUNDS TO COMM FROM THE 125 FUND. MOTION CARRIED.
COUNCILMEMBER EARLING MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER MYERS, FOR
COUNCIL TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE HIGHEST PRIORITY CAPITAL BOND MEASURE
FOR THE CITY OF EDMONDS IS FOR A "PUBLIC SAFETY" FACILITY, AND THAT THE
FAMILY/COMMUNITY AQUATIC CENTER IS ALSO A HIGH PRIORITY PROJECT AS
DEMONSTRATED BY THE QUANTIFIED NEED AND THE DEMONSTRATED PUBLIC
SUPPORT. MOTION CARRIED.
COUNCILMEMBER EARLING MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER MYERS, THAT
BASED ON THE QUANTIFIED NEED AND DEMONSTRATED PUBLIC SUPPORT, COUNCIL
ENDORSES A 50-METER FAMILY/COMMUNITY AQUATIC CENTER, AT AN ESTIMATED
COST OF $8.2 MILLION, TO BE LOCATED AT THE SITE OF THE NEW EDMONDS-
WOODWAY HIGH SCHOOL, SUBJECT TO FURTHER SEEKING WAYS THAT LESSEN THE
FINANCIAL BURDEN TO THE VOTERS.
Discussion followed concerning the wording of the last sentence of the motion. Some felt it was not worded
strongly enough and should include language indicating a concerted effort to bring other municipalities into
the project.
MOTION CARRIED.COUNCLLMEMBER KASPER VOTED NO.
COUNCILMEMBER EARLING MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCLLMEMBER NORDQUIST,
TO RESERVE SEPTEMBER 1996 AS THE CITY COUNCIL'S RECOMMENDED BALLOT DATE
FOR THE FAMILY/COMMUNITY AQUATIC CENTER CAPITAL BOND ISSUE,
CONDITIONED UPON A POSITIVE SPRING VOTE IN 1996 ON THE PUBLIC SAFETY BOND.
Councilmember Kasper feels that will invoke a negative response from the public. Council President
Petruzzi had trouble setting an exact date. He suggested that when the Public Safety bond was passed, a
date for the vote on this bond could be set. Councilmember Earling indicated that was the reason he had
put in the condition of a positive spring vote. Councilmember Myers thinks that the intent of Council is
that we set this election date for the first available date after the successful passage of the Public Safety
bond issue. Councilmember Nordquist raised the fact that this Council cannot commit future Council
members. He would rather use "suggest September 1996". Councilmember Fahey believes that the
community is looking for some kind of show of support for this and a sense that Council will enable them
to get to a vote of the people as soon as possible. She said the word could be changed to recommend.
Council President Petruzzi indicated he was unsure #3 was needed as Recommendations #1 and #2 show
unqualified support. He is concerned about setting a date for a bond when a date has not been set for the
Public Safety bond issue.
COUNCILMEMBER MYERS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCLLMEMBER FAHEY, TO
SUSPEND THE RULES TO HEAR FROM MR MAR MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Mar explained that the committee needs to have a game plan and time line. The committee needs at
least three to four months to put together a campaign. Council President Petruzzi doesn't see any reason
why the committee can't work toward September without it being in the motion.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT PETRUZZI MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER MYERS, TO
REINSTATE THE RULES. MOTION CARRIED.

OF THE MOTION TO READ "SUGGEST SEPTEMBER 1996". ROLL CALL OF COUNCIL:
KASPER, NO; PETRUZZI, NO; FAHEY, YES; NORDQUIST, YES; EARLING, YES, MYERS,
NO; HALL, NO. MOTION WAS DEFEATED 4-3.
Mayor Hall thanked the committee for all of its hard work and suggested that this matter could be revisited
at the request of Council or the committee.
9. DISCUSSION OF COUNCIL SALARIES FOR 1996
C°u't�ES Councilmember Hall noted that when looking at the document there has been no cost of living increase and
SRURRI asked when the last cost of living increase was. He suggested that instead of having to do this periodically,
that something be built in for a cost of living increase at an inflationary rate.
City Attorney Snyder called Council attention to page 2 of the Agenda Memo which shows two of his
suggestions on how this matter could be handled.
Councilmember Earling considers his work for the City Council as a community service. Creating an
increase in pay is not something he wants to consider doing He would not support any kind of increase.
Council President Petruzzi agreed with Mr. Earling as he also feels this is done as a community service.
There was acknowledgment of instances where there are more than seven meetings to be attended in a
month's time and that perhaps a change should be made there.
Councilmember Kasper is of the opinion the problem is in the area of the seven meetings. He thinks the
decision of the Council President should be the rule. That would be a way to expand pay.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT PETRUZZI MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FAHEY, TO
EXTEND THE MEETING. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilmember Myers advised the audience of the sums being reviewed. He thinks the amount of money is
not the issue. He said it would be embarrassing to work for this amount of money. He will not take a stand
on this as he can see both sides of the issue.
Mayor Hall pointed out that this is the only Council to provide medical benefits. City Attorney Snyder
suggested there needs to be some sort of annual cap which Councilmember Kasper thought occurred during
the budget process. Mr. Snyder reiterated that his recommendation is to have a maximum, either monthly
or annually.
COUNCILMEMBER EARLING MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT PETRUZZI,
TO MAINTAIN SALARIES AS SHOWN ON PAGE 2 OF THE AGENDA MEMORANDUM, AT
S350 PER MONTH PLUS $50 PER MEETING, ALONG WITH RETAINING THE
MEDICAL(DENTAL(VISION BENEFITS.
Councilmember Hall stated that they were not necessarily voting on their own salaries but on those who
will be sitting in these positions. He indicated he is not trying to tie Council to these issues. He thinks
there should be something to keep up with inflation and does not agree that this should be revisited all the
time. Councilmember Fahey tends to agree that the salaries are very fair and the only time she sees a
problem deals with meeting numbers.
MOTION CARRIED.

10. UPDATE BY COMMUNITY SERVICES DIRECTOR PAUL MAR REGARDING
�11 TRANSPORTATION ISSUES AND FUNDING FOR THE MULTIMODAL PROJECT
POO� Community Services Director Paul Mar reported on the Oversight Committee meeting held on Thursday,
July 13, 1995. He used the overhead to show some of the things discussed at the meeting and showed plans
that try to build into the Point Edwards site. A lot of facts were brought out, and the whole picture was
somber. They do have funds for the next 8 months. At that time they will have a clear understanding of the
Unocal site. Mayor Hall interjected that Unocal had submitted a reaffirmation.
Councilmember Myers confirmed that Port representatives were at the meeting and saw the same visual
information being submitted tonight. Councilmember Earling discussed the mid -marina site as being
problematic. He also noted that to DOT's credit they are still willing to move forward and are clearly
nervous about funding.
11. UPDATE ON FINANCIAL CENTER ACQUISITION PROCESS
00 Community Services Director Paul Mar asked if there were questions on the packet. Council President
Petruzzi confirmed with Accounting Manager Chuck Day that the City received money today.

;G�lo� for both the primary and general elections.
She also reported she attended the Association of Washington Cities Convention. She has asked Rob
Chave to set up a joint meeting with the Planning Board regarding regulatory reform and how that dovetails
with 164. Because of deadlines, an August 8 full Council review was suggested.
Mayor Hall advised that CNN had called last week to request she speak regarding the cellular tower issue.
They will advise when it will air.
Mayor Hall said that she had received a very good report from the State Auditor who had been in town for
three and a half months. She further reported the cemetery is offering extended historic tours from 10-2:00.
A memo was received indicating that the students had left for Hekinan and will return on July 31. Mayor
Hall also read a letter from Sarah Lorkowski complimenting the City on the fireworks show on July 4. A
memo was received from Joyce Olson indicating there is to be a Community Transit meeting on July 19 in
Room 206 of the Anderson Center.
13. COUNCIL

on August 3 at 7:30 a.m. to share their happiness. He then noted receipt of a memo from Brent Hunter

week on Monday at 12:00, Wednesday at 6:00 p.m. and Friday at 12:00. The Kiddie's Parade is included,
and he believes it will be aired on Channel 36. Councilmember Hall also advised that he had received a
1)0t'r,& mailing as a downtown Edmonds business owner indicating that the Edmonds Police Department will be

suggested they be identified and a meeting held with the neighbors to explain that they will be taken down

Works site was being used by the Driftwood Theater.
Mr. Mar indicated that when they have a new contract it will be brought before Council, but that basically
they have free rental. Noel Miller will work with them and try to bring something back in the next couple
of weeks.
Councilmember Earling wondered about the several letters sent to Mayor Hall and the Council under the
L aD q audience portion of the agenda regarding the LID. He requested that Barb Mehlert provide copies of
past letters received on this issue. Mr. Mar indicated that two individuals tonight spoke on that and
submitted documents. As Mr. Mar recalled, that matter is going back to the Community Services
Committee meeting on August 8.
Councilmember Nordquist discussed records retention and asked City Attorney Snyder if the television
tapes are considered part of the official record. It was explained that if the City had control of the tapes it
