Josephine Fye, 655 Main Street #101, Edmonds, President of Edmonds in Bloom, presented the Mayor
and Councilmember with flowers, a sample of the Edmonds in Bloom Entry Forms, and a copy of the
zoo Edmonds - Community Vision Statement. Ms. Fye stated that this was an informational presentation.
She then read the Community Vision statement - "The natural beauty of Edmonds creates a stunning
backdrop and gathering place where the collaborative efforts of the arts, business and people are woven
together to create a vibrant community." She stated this vision stiffed the imagination of nine women
and one man who have planned the non-profit volunteer driven association to manage an annual floral
competition. The objective of this competition is to promote civic pride, beautify the city, promote
growth in the business community through tourism, and connect segments of the community through
friendly competition. Ms. Fye stated that the competition begins April I with registration open until
June 1, 1996, and that the competition is open to any resident or business with a 98020 or 98026 zip
code. Ms. Fye then discussed the various categories that are available and hopes that the commercial
businesses will participate. She further reported an office was opened in the Anderson Center two days a
week staffed by volunteers. For more information call 771-263 1. Ms. Fye went on to thank the City
Council fWthe City Basket Program.
Council President Earling thanked Josephine for all the hard work she has done on behalf of the
community with the Edmonds Arts Commission, and the Edmonds Arts Festival and Museum Board.
Mayor Fahey thanked Josephine for the presentation as well as all her time and effort that she has put
into the Edmonds in Bloom Program.

SUBMISSION TO VOTERS OF THE CITY AT A SPECIAL ELECTION TO BE HELD ON MAY
21, 1996, OF A PROPOSITION AUTHORIZING THE CITY TO INCUR INDEBTEDNESS BY
Irt
,I,qi, ISSUING ITS GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS IN A PAR AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED
e -f/P $9,275,000, PAYABLE BY ANNUAL PROPERTY TAX LEVIES TO BE MADE IN EXCESS OF
99k REGULAR PROPERTY TAX LEVIES, FOR THE PURPOSE OF PAYING THE COSTS TO
CONSTRUCT PUBLIC SAFETY FACILITIES INCLUDING A POLICE DEPARTMENT AND
MUNICIPAL COURT BUILDING AT FIFTH AVENUE AND BELL STREET; AND FIRE
STATION 7 AT FIFTH AVENUE AND'EDMONDS STREET; AND REPLACE FIVE CORNERS
FIRE STATION 6, AND TO LEVY THOSE EXCESS PROPERTY TAXES
Paul Mar stated that the information in the packet tonight was the ordinance and proposition ballot. He
asked Mayor Fahey to unveil a scale model of the future Public Safety Campus. Mr. Mar stated that the
model would be available to citizens to view, and he went on to state that this was a representation of
what the campus might look like, not an actual specific rendering of an architect's plans. Mr. Mar shared
his sense of pride in what happened last week with the turn out of support and also expressed his thanks
to the Council for all the effort they had put into this plan.
Councilmember Petruzzi repeated his comments from last week (because of television failure last
week) stating that the need is now for the Public Safety Building; it is not planning for the year 2020 and
that these facilities are needed now. Mr. Petruzzi stated that the Council had worked very hard to get to
this point and that this was the culmination of a lot of work by a lot of people. Mr. Petruzzi went on to
answer the unasked question regarding why not take the money out of the City's budget, and stated that
the Council had already used money from the budget to help- purchase the Financial Center for
$5,000,000 and that there simply wasn't enough in the budget to cover both. Councilmember Petruzzi
reminded everyone that this would not be just a simple majority to win this proposition but 60% of the
vote. He urged all citizens to support the City government in this project.
Councilmember Myers stated that he had been impressed not only by the work the Council and staff
had done but that of the citizens that have stepped forward to help bring this project to completion.
Councilmember Haakenson expressed that the need for new Fire, Police and Court facilities has been
well documented and that the Mayor, Council, and Staff have tried to bring forward a plan that would
provide for public safety needs at bare bones cost and he is pleased to add his support to the bond issue
and urges everyone else to do the same.
Councilmember Nordquist noted that the City's inventory of property had continued to grow. He
mentioned the underwater park, the Senior Center, the Library (the City Council stepped forward and
built the current library), a new Waste Water Treatment Plant (that came in under budget), Esperance
Fire Station, and the Driftwood Theater. He added that now it's time to retire the oldest buildings on the
inventory and replace it with a more adequate facility.
Council President Earling added that Councilmember Van Hollebeke is an adamant supporter of this
project and hoped it would move forward tonight.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT EARLING MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER. PETRUZZI,
FOR ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 3077 CALLING FOR A SPECIAL ELECTION TO
AUTHORIZE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE REFERENCED BOND; AND TO DIRECT STAFF
TO COMPLETE THE NECESSARY STEPS TO DELIVER A CERTIFIED COPY OF THIS
ORDINANCE TO THE SNOHOMISH COUNTY ELECTION OFFICIALS AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE, BUT NO LATER THAN APRIL 5,1996. MOTION CARRIED. The ordinance adopted
reads as follows:

Mayor Fahey stated that this would be a mail -in ballot and that citizens would be receiving their ballots
shortly after May 3, 1996 and must be mailed back by May 21, 1996.
,y 5. COMMUNITY ORIENTED POLICING AND PROBLEM SOLVING (COPPS) UPDATE
JA14 to
C006.4fo
0A1 Police Chief Miller presented information regarding the forming of COPPS, when the department
looked at ways to impact crime with more lasting effect about a year and a half ago. Chief Miller at that
time identified a group of employees that would be willing to participate on a Community Policing Task
Force who would identify strategies. This Task Force started to work on developing a five-year plan for
Community Policing and one of the strategies was the "Town Hall Meeting" process to find out what the
citizens believed their specific problems to be, not what the Police Department might think were their
problems. In doing this they worked with neighborhood groups that came to the meetings and asked
them to identify the five problems they were most concerned with and also help provide two possible
solutions for these problems. Chief Miller went on to state that the town hall aspect wasn't the only
thing they were doing but also involving citizens in the processes more frequently. The Police
Department was involving citizens in the hiring and promotional process and also in creating a Citizens
Advisory Council that meets on a monthly basis to discuss issues like the building, equipment needs, and
the citizens bring back needs that they see in the community. He then stated that the Task Force has
expanded to include Lynnwood Police, Mountlake Terrace Police, and SnoCom to create the South
Snohomish County COPPS Task Force.
Chief Miller next asked the Council to adopt Resolution No. 840 which states that Community -Oriented
Policing and Problem -Solving shall be the formal philosophy of policing for the City of Edmonds.
COUNCILMEMBER MYERS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HAAKENSON,
FOR ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 840. MOTION CARRIED.

.r4 Paul Mar recalled the history of this item. After the Public Safety Committee Meeting on March 12
00 staff was directed to investigate how much of the comer the City would need to secure from the property
owner to achieve sufficient turning radius and sight distance. Jim Walker, City Engineer, concluded that
182 square feet of Mr. Johnson's property was needed to achieve the turning radius and sighting distance
objectives. Mr. Walker contacted the property owner to see if a property trade might be made to which
Mr. Johnson was agreeable.

Councilmember Petruzzi stated that one of the issues the Council had was the traffic which is presumed
to be growing and if so was this new turning radius going to be enough.
Councilmember Myers explained that at the Public Safety Committee Meeting they were given
assurances from the police that the street in its new width would be a very safe street. The concern was
for traffic turning onto 80th from 196th so if there was more street on that comer it would be easier for
everybody to make the turn.
Paul Mar stated that as per the diagram on the last page of the packet presented this evening, the City
takes an additional 182 square feet of the comer in order to make that possible. This is property that is
owned by Mr. Johnson and the City would take that in trade for the right -of -vacation he came forward
with.
Councilmember Petruzzi suggested that this be put on the Consent Agenda for next week.
6. JOINT DISCUSSION WITH THE PLANNING BOARD AND RECOMMENDATION ON
ADOPTION OF INTERIM ORDINANCE IMPLEMENTING REGULATORY REFORM
A The Planning Board members in attendance were: Gary Grayson, Rob Morrison, Melody Tereski, Chris
Keuss, Bruce Witenberg, Lynn Lacy, and Phyllis Becker. Chris Keuss, Chair, opened the discussion by
reviewing the questions asked by the Council at the previous meeting on February 27. Mr. Keuss then
read the Board's recommendations as follows:
1) Parks and Recreation should remain under the review of the Planning Board. Mr. Keuss had
spoken with Arvilla Ohlde, Parks and Recreation Manager, and she agreed with this in principle. The
Planning Board should continue to review development and master planning issues on at least a quarterly
basis as well as policy issues, as well as changes in the codes that have an impact on the community.
2) The Ad -hoc Downtown Parking Committee should continue to report to the Council. Changes in
policy, administrative procedures and code that effect the community should be reviewed by the
Planning Board with recommendations sent to the Council prior to formal review. The Planning Board
feels that the current setup is working well, but would like the Ad -hoc Downtown Parking Committee to
come to the Planning Board on possibly a quarterly basis. The Board would also like the option of
having a representative on the Ad -hoc Committee.
Mr. Keuss moved recommendation #3 to the bottom of the list and continued on with the list of
recommendations.
4) Quasi-judicial matters under the Planning Board's review should be maintained. Comprehensive
Plan and Elements adopted by reference and any other plans associated by reference should remain under
the Planning Board's review.
5) The Board shall report its recommendations directly to the Council as succinctly and thoroughly
as possible.
6) The number of Planning Board members would remain the same. There are currently seven
regular members with one alternate.

7) Representatives from Parks and Recreation, Parking Ad -hoe Committee and any other
committees which review planning and land development matters should report their progress to the
Board quarterly. Mr. Keuss stated this would help the Board be informed and will help in making
recommendations to the Council. Council President Earling inquired if the Board had a mechanism in
place to make sure this happens; how did they plan to make sure they are getting quarterly repprts. Mr.
Keuss stated that he thought that could be done by communicating with Rob Chave, Planning Manager,
and Arvilla Ohlde, Parks and Recreation Manager, and having them put this report on the extended
agenda in advance.
3) The Architectural Design Board (ADB) should continue to hold quasi-judicial hearings for
single -permit matters under their review. In multi -permit applications, the ADB; should act in a public
forum role in order to collect substantive information for the Hearing Examiner's formal hearing process.
Councilmember Petruzzi asked Rob Chave, Planning Manager, to comment on this recommendation.
Mr. Chave stated that under regulatory reform they have to have a consolidated process in which a
project can have a single hearing, and with the ADB 90% of what they do is not a problem. The only
problem comes up in situations where a variance or a conditional use permit is required. In that case the
recommendation is the ADB would function as just another group of staff. The AD13 will have a public
meeting, not a hearing, and the ADB would come up with a set of recommendation to be passed on to the
Hearing Examiner where the formal hearing would occur. The Hearing Examiner would be charged with
considering this information. Because of this the ADB will need to have two meetings a month to keep
up with the timeline that will be imposed.
Phil Olbrechts, City Attorney, stated that in the situation where the ADB has to have a public meeting
instead of a public hearing, not that much is lost in the decision making process for the ADB. They can
still advertise and take testimony. They would have all the same people and information available but it
would not be part of the official initial record. I
Council President Earling stated if the ADB gives the recommendation to the Hearing Examiner it seems
to give the illusion of having two hearings. Phil Olbrechts, City Attorney, stated that there really isn't
that much difference; the only real difference is that the official record is not developed by the ADB.
Melody Tereski pointed out that the RCW does call for "...public meetings after effective notice,
provision of open discussion, communication programs, information services, and consideration of and
response to public comments.."
Mayor Fahey stated that it seemed a little unclear since historically the, ADB has imposed requirements
that can send plans back to the drawing board and prolong the process so the timeline isn't met. Melody
Tereski stated she didn't think that's the way it would work. She compared it to the way the Planning
Board works with the City Council.
Council President Earling inquired as to why the Planning Board felt that a mandatory pre -application
meeting was not necessary at this time. Rob Chave stated this would force all applicants and the City to
sit down and discuss and identify all the permits, all the requirements, all the applications and talk about
the process. Mr. Chave stated that this would add time spent in the permit process. In the case where the
City felt it was necessary they would try and accomplish a pre -application meeting, however, in a lot of
cases it would not be necessary. I

Council President Earling stated that when this process started he was hoping that a pre -application
meeting would help some of the builders and contractors who say the City never tells them what to do
until they get into the development. It had been Council President Earling's hope that when a builder or
private citizen came to the City they could be given some kind of outline so they could better understand
the process and the requirements they were going to have to be met. Rob Chave stated that there had
been discussion about having regular established weekly staff meetings where any applicant could come
in and have a pre -application meeting.
Rob Chave stated the ordinance deals with procedure changes not standard changes, to make sure the
City's procedures work under regulatory reform.
Chairperson Chris Keuss stated that all the members of the Planning Board had discussed this interim
ordinance and they all where in concurrence with Planning Staff, however there may be some minor
details that will need to be worked out in the future. Rob Chave stated that this is an interim measure and
the Planning Board and Planning Department needed six months to work with it. At the end of six
months, the City should have all the new government rules as well as the SEPA changes. A final
ordinance should be able to be brought forward at that time.
e_40 is COUNCIL PRESIDENT EARLING MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER MYERS, TO
Okol ,.rp Ay ADOPT INTERIM ORDINANCE 3078 FOR A PERIOD OF 6 MONTHS. MOTION CARRIED.

to the issue on the ballot on March 26 regarding the 800 Megahertz communication system and
