CONSENT AGENDA COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA. MOTION CARRIED. The approved items on the Consent Agenda include the following: (A) ROLL CALL (B) APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF OCTOBER 16, 1990 (C) FINAL ACCEPTANCE OF WORK BY BLACKLINE, INC. FOR THE SLURRY SEAL PROJECT, AND SETTING THE THIRTY -DAY RETAINAGE PERIOD CWC-HDR MONTHLY REPORT Bud Benges, CWC-HDR, Inc. reported that the concrete roof topping is installed on primary clarifi- ers 1 and 2, and the contractor will resume operation of primary clarify 2 at the end of October 1990. Construction of the solids processing and sludge incineration facilities is near completion. The contractor is continuing with clean up and repair items. The City. of Edmonds is operating the solids processing facilities on behalf of the contractor until substantial completion is grant- ed. Substantial completion of the solids process building was scheduled for October 21, 1990.. The contractor is making good progress with construction of the secondary treatment units. Con- crete roof topping is complete on the aeration basin roofs, and the form work is in place for installation of the blower building suspended floor slab. Installation of the effluent pumping station walls are complete and construction of the final clarifier walls are near completion. The contractor plans to install the RAS/WAS pumping station precast roofing panels at the end of October. Installation of piping and miscellaneous mechanical items continues in the RAS/WAS pumping station and aeration basin complex. The contractor for the Edmonds wastewater meter station project has been requested to submit all contract closeout documents. The contractor has not provided documentation for the possible claim for construction impacts due to the underground debris and gas line that was encountered at meter station 3. Mr. Benges said the contractor has forecasted that construction of the treatment plant will be completed earlier than was scheduled. Mr. Benges inquired if the format for the bronze plaque that will be erected at the treatment plant (included in the Council packets) met with Council approval. The Council suggested the following changes: 1) Mayor and Council be the same size type style; 2) exclude the word "Edmonds" in Edmonds City Council because it is redundant; 3) change Councilmember Dwyer's first name to Steve; 4) exclude Councilmember Kasper's middle initial; and 5) allow more space between the Mayor and City Council. 1 Mayor.-Naughten requested that the final draft of the plaque be submitted to the Council for ap- proval. Mr. Benges said a public forum will be held at Harbor Square on November 1 at 7 p.m. to present the status of the project to the public and to answer any questions. DISCUSSION OF SENIOR (LOW INCOME/MODERATE) HOUSING OPTIONS/ALTERNATIVES (POSTPONED FROM JUNE 26 AND AUNT 28, 1990 * COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PALMER, TO ADOPT THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE EDMONDS PLANNING BOARD AMENDING THE EDMONDS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE AS FOLLOWS:' 1) Amend Section 16.30.020(CO(2) as follows: "Community facilities, including buildings used for community activities -and services, such as..." 2) Amend Chapter 20.25, changing the title to Low Income Housing for the Elderly; insert the words "low income" before the word a er yin sections 2O.25.00U and 20.25.020; and change the reduction of parking spaces to one space per unit. 3) Amend Section 21.30.060 Foster Home to read as follows: "Foster home means a social service facility licensed by the State as a full-time foster family and described as an agency which regularly provides care on a 24 hour basis to one or more individuals, but not more than six individuals. 4) Add new Section 21.15.095 defining congregate care facility to read as follows: A congregate care facility shall mean the same as a retirement home. ! 5) Add new Section 21.40.055 defining hospitals to read as follows: Hospitals are public or private health facilities providing care for persons suffering from acute illness, injuries or other conditions requiring medical, surgical, psychiatric, or obstetrical services. Residences are normally short, and the facilities are characterized by high public access requirements.and the need for emergency access. Included in this definition are general or emergency hospitals, maternity and psychiatric hospitals, and alcoholism and drug acute detoxification services. Councilmember Kasper stated that the City of Edmonds needs to provide viable housing options for its elderly citizens. He suggested that the City's goal be to alter its development regulations to make all forms of elderly housing available in the community. By modifying Chapter 20.25 of the Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) from not speaking to income level to speak solely to low income, he said the ECDC is excluding all moderate income seniors in Edmonds that would like to have an alternative housing option to their 1 arge, near empty homes. Councilmember Kasper said the Council should encourage the housing industry to create an alterna- tive housing option. He noted that houses are becoming more empty, as are the schools. Without an alternative housing option for most of the elderly, he said homes will continue to be partial- ly occupied, thereby not allowing younger families to move into the .community. Councilmember Kasper recommended that the Council meet with the Elderly Housing Committee and the Planning Board and discuss a policy for senior housing that will keep Edmonds viable and allow its citizens of many years to live out their years in their hometown. Councilmember Kasper said he ascertained from reading the Council minutes back to 1970 that the consensus of the Council was to provide more housing options for elderly citizens. He pointed out, though, that the Council has made few improvements since that time and has ceased to make progress. He suggested that a public forum be held because there is interest on the part of nonprofit organizations to provide alternate housing for low -to -moderate -income senior citizens. COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PALMER FOR DISCUSSION, TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PLANNING BOARD AND POSSIBLY EVEN ANOTHER TASK FORCE TO PURSUE OPTIONS FOR LOW -TO -MODERATE - INCOME HOUSING FOR ELDERLY CITIZENS. Councilmember Palmer concurred with Councilmember Kasper that the City needs to work towards encouraging a continuum of care, with particular emphasis on housing for moderate -income seniors. Councilmember Hertrich referred to the memorandum from the Planning Advisory Board'dated March 31, 1988 in which they stated, in part, "Due to social, economic and community considerations, it is not recommended that significant zoning changes take place to allow higher densities, height variances, parking reductions or intrusion into business zones. *See Council Minutes November 5, 1990 EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 2 OCTOBER 23, 1990 We strongly believe that the City is currently making a significant contribution to the elderly and seniors through the Senior Center and that there are adequate provisions in our current regu- lations to allow home sharing, group homes, and foster homes. The City could, most effectively help the low/moderate income elderly by establishing monetary assistance to existing housing programs and elderly services such as DART, CHORE, and actual rent subsidies administered by the Snohomish County Housing Authority". Councilmember Kasper noted that the City, through enactment of the Mother-in-law Ordinance, has taken some action to provide options for elderly citizens. He inquired what further steps -the City could take. Although Councilmember Palmer felt the City is making a significant contribu- tion to the elderly, he said the City could make an even larger contribution by encouraging other options. Councilmember Kasper noted that the Growth Management Act will become effective in the near fu- ture. He said the City must have a plan so that the City develops in a manner that is envisioned by the Council and its citizens. In response to a question by Councilmember Dwyer, Councilmember Palmer explained that the Housing Task Force reported. to the Planning Board in the past, and their conclusions were discussed at the Planning Board level. He said his understanding of Councilmember Kasper's motion is to pur- sue the moderate -income -level group rather than the low-income group, which was the primary focus of past discussions. Councilmember Palmer said one of the main tasks of the Planning Board was .to determine what the real purpose of the original ordinance was, and the Planning Board deter- mined that the ordinance was aimed at the low-income group. Councilmember Palmer said he was looking to the Planning Board to discuss what options exist to fill the gap at the moderate -in- come level. City Attorney Scott Snyder noted that one aspect that may be of some use, as it relates to discus- sions of Initiative 547 and Senate House Bill 2020, is to try to assess the unmet needs of the elderly and disabled, perhaps:. by working with Staff to determine who the affected populations are. Councilmember Palmer inquired if Councilmember. Kasper would be willing to replace,his.motion with :. a request that the information suggested by Mr. Snyder be obtained. Councilmember' Kasper said that was part of the process, in his opinion. It was his feeling that housing for the elderly is over -designed at the present time. He recommended that the City look to providing housing in the future vis-a-vis the conditional use permit process because he believed that elderly people should reside in or as close to the downtown area as possible. Councilmember Jaech inquired if the City must address the eventuality that there will not be enough young people to support, from a financial or service -oriented aspect, the now middle-aged group of citizens when they are elderly. Mr. Snyder said the Council will be facing a policy decision with respect to what the City's zoning categories should be thirty years from now in order to be consistent with the lifestyle of the future. Discussion ensued regarding the process in which the Council should pursue housing.for the elder- ly. COUNCILMEMBER KASPER WITHDREW THE MOTION, AND COUNCILMEMBER PALMER WITHDREW THE SECOND TO THE MOTION. COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PALMER, TO REQUEST A NEEDS ASSESSMENT, AS SUGGESTED BY THE CITY ATTORNEY, AND ALSO AN ASSESSMENT OF WHAT THE CITY'S OBLIGATION ARE UNDER HOUSE BILL 2929; ALSO, REFER THOSE MATTERS TO THE PLANNING BOARD TO PREPARE A REPORT AND THEN MEET WITH THE PLANNING BOARD AFTER THE REPORT IS COMPLETED TO DETERMINE A FURTHER COURSE OF AC- TION. Councilmember Kasper requested Councilmember Dwyer to add the words "options" and "alterna- tives" to the motion. Councilmember Dwyer concurred. MOTION CARRIED. CONTINUED DISCUSSION ON PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDING CITY CODE TO EXPAND DEFINITION OF DISABLED PERSONN ORDER TO QUALITYFOR UTILITY RATE REDUCTION (FROM SEPTEMBER 25) COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH FOR DISCUSSION, TO MOVE TO AN INCOME -ONLY TEST AND BASE THE TEST ON A FEDERAL INCOME TAX RETURN AND THE FACT THAT A PERSON WOULD NOT BE LISTED AS A DEPENDENT ON ANYONE ELSE'S INCOME TAX, AND DIRECT THE CITY ATTORNEY TO PREPARE THE NECESSARY ORDINANCE. Councilmember Hertrich cautioned the Council not to change the formula that the County uses for property taxes. MOTION CARRIED. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 3 OCTOBER 23, 1990 CONTINUED DISCUSSION OF WESTGATE STUDY (FROM OCTOBER 2) COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PALMER, TO DELAY THE ADOPTION OF THE DOCUMENT UNTIL A COMPREHENSIVE TRAFFIC STUDY IS PREPARED AND LEVELS OF SERVICE ARE ESTABLISHED FOR THE WESTGATE AREA. Councilmember Jaech recalled that the Council previously recommended that the Westgate study be regarded as a priority in the study. MOTION CARRIED. DISCUSSION ON ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT FINANCIAL AND PHYSICAL HARDSHIP CRITERIA Planning Department Manager Mary Lou Block reported that Staff was asked to develop some guide- lines on "financial and physical hardship" which allows an applicant for an accessory dwelling unit to be eligible for exemption from the two-year residency requirement. She noted that defini- tions were submitted to the Council on October 15, 1990, and a copy Qf.those definitions were included in the Council packets. COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, TO MOVE TO AN INCOME -ONLY TEST AND BASE THE TEST ON A FEDERAL INCOME TAX RETURN AND THE FACT THAT A PERSON WOULD NOT BE LISTED AS A DEPENDENT ON ANYONE ELSE'S INCOME TAX. MOTION CARRIED WITH COUNCILMEMBER DWYER AND COUNCIL - MEMBER KASPER OPPOSED. COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH MOVED TO DELETE THE ELIGIBILITY FOR ACCESSORY DWELLINGS BASED ON THE TWO- YEAR RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT AND BASE IT ENTIRELY ON FINANCIAL HARDSHIP. MOTION FAILED FOR LACK OF A SECOND. City Attorney Scott Snyder said he interpreted the Council's action, based on prior discussions, as not making any comment about the disabled per se but, simply, that a disabled person who has a financial hardship would qualify for the two-year period and, thus, the Council is creating the ability to make a home payment rather than making any judgment about a persons- ability.or how it impacts the housing. Councilmember Palmer concurred. DISCUSSION ON JOB DESCRIPTION OF FIRE CHIEF POSITION Personnel Manager Brent Hunter recommended that the job description of the Fire Chief's position be reviewed and updated. He noted that the City Council previously indicated that the education- al requirement for the position should be upgraded to a Bachelor's degree level. He said he drafted a new job description (included in the Council packets) which emphasizes the position's managerial responsibilities and also included the upgraded educational requirements, as well as a listing of the job qualifications for fire chiefs in other local cities. Because Councilmember Jaech was unable to attend the Saturday pre -budget meeting, she inquired if the concept of a Public Safety Director was discussed. Councilmember Dwyer said Councilmember Kasper had commented on Mr. Dolanz' position as a civilian administrator for Fire District No. 1 rather than a fire chief. Councilmember Dwyer said, however, he was not clear that a majority of the Council was in favor of that concept. Councilmember Nordquist•said the Council had discussed an administrator position at some length. He reminded the Council that they had decided at the Council retreat to review the job description of a position as it became vacant. Councilmember Jaech felt it was necessary to establish the organization structure of a department before preparing a job description for a position within that department. Councilmember Nord- quist said he did not.want to design the Fire Department for the City. He recommended that the Mayor submit a study which reviews the organizational structure of the Fire Department and then submit a recommendation to the Council. The Council discussed whether or not to advertise the position as it is currently structured or to restructure the organization of the Fire Department and then advertise the position. Council - member Jaech, Councilmember Nordquist, and Councilmember Kasper felt the Council should be provid- ed with different options before making a decision. Councilmember Palmer referred to the draft job tions: 1) page 1, paragraph 4, second sentence, performance to save money and use funds wisely; should be "Mayor s . description and made the following recommenda- change to read, "Monitors and evaluates budget paragraph 5, last sentence, the word "Major's" Councilmember Palmer stated that the Council, perhaps, is not ready to seek a candidate based on the draft job description or any other job description at the present time. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 4 OCTOBER 23, 1990 COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER FOR DISCUSSION, -TO DIRECT'THE MAYOR AND PERSONNEL MANAGER TO PROVIDE THE COUNCIL WITH ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE OPTIONS, INCLUDING THE ASSOCIATED JOB DESCRIPTIONS, AS WELL AS THE STRUCTURE AND STAFFING OF THE SEVEN CITIES FOR COMPAR- ISON, AND THEN SUBMIT A RECOMMENDATION TO THE COUNCIL. Councilmember Kasper inquired if one of the options. included- an. -Administrator...- Councilmember Palmer replied affirmatively. He said he was not asking for a voluminous study; just recommenda- tions and organizational structures and associated job descriptions. Councilmember Jaech recalled that the Council had discussed the concept of a Public Safety Admin- istrator at the Council retreat to head both the Fire and Police Departments so that the Fire Chief and Police Chief could concentrate more on the day-to-day activities of their departments. City Attorney Scott Snyder noted that the Fire Chief is a position that is covered under the Civil Service Commission rules, and the minimum qualifications that are to be set out for consid- eration are technically to be determined by the Commission. Mr. Snyder said, however, the Coun- cil could remove the Commission by ordinance, if they so desired. He asked the Council if they wanted to involve the Commission in the process or address the issue themselves. Councilmember Jaech said the Council first needs to look at the options for structuring the Fire Department before establishing the qualifications for the Fire Chief position. Mr. Snyder recommended that the Council consider the Commission's involvement somewhere in the process to avoid the appear- ance of usurping their authority. Councilmember Dwyer said he would vote against the motion because he could not conceive of a set of facts that would lead him to vote in favor of a civilian non -career fire person heading the Fire Department. MOTION CARRIED WITH COUNCILMEMBER DWYER OPPOSED. Mayor Naughten submitted copies of appendix "C" of the Fire Department requirements to the Coun- cil. He said he received a'_ietter from Edmonds Fire Fighters, Local 1828 in reference to pages 34 and 35 of that document. Mayor Naughten said he will submit recommendations to the Council. MAYOR Mayor Naughten said the. Puget Sound Council of Government (PSCOG) called him and requested that a :representative of the Edmonds City Council attend a meeting on Thursday to vote on whether or not to continue the organization as it is presently structured or to restructure it entirely. It was the consensus of the Council to not attend the meeting, especially in light of the ordinance they recently passed disassociating the City from that organization. Mayor Naughten noted that long-time resident Aubrey Engels passed away and funeral services will be held at 3 p.m. on Friday at Beck's Funeral Home. Mayor Naughten said he received a letter from Unocal stating that they plan to sell the Unocal site as one parcel. He said an assessment of the contamination will be conducted six months after the site is closed, and the property will probably be placed on the market in two or three years. Mayor Naughten said he requested an option to purchase the property. Councilmember Jaech said Congressman John Miller stated that he would speak to Unocal on behalf of the City to help secure the option to purchase that property. She urged the Council to pursue that proposal. Councilmember Jaech recommended that the City, County, Community Transit and the Port of Edmonds form a consortium and* work towards a general plan for the Unocal site. COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DWYER. TO REQUEST MAYOR NAUGHTEN TO CONTACT CONGRESSMAN JOHN MILLER AND ACCEPT HIS OFFER TO HELP THE CITY SECURE AN OPTION ON THE UNOCAL SITE. MOTION CARRIED. COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PALMER, TO SUPPORT SENATE HOUSE BILL 2929 AND TO NOT SUPPORT INITIATIVE 547. Councilmember Dwyer noted that the Council has refused to take a position on ballot issues in the past. He urged the Council to think about their policy before voting on the motion. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 5 October 23, 1990 Councilmember Palmer said the Council should think less about their inaction in the past and think more about their action in the future. He thought it was well worth the Council's time and effort to consider a resolution because he said the ballot issue will have a "chilling effect" on what action the Council can take in the future. MOTION FAILED WITH COUNCILMEMBER KASPER AND COUNCILMEMBER PALMER IN FAVOR; COUNCILMEMBER. NORD- . QUIST, COUNCILMEMBER DWYER, COUNCILMEMBER.HERTRICH, AND COUNCILMEMBER JAECH OPPOSED. Mayor Naughten inquired if the Council wanted a section in the 1991 budget- outlining the percent- age of increase or decrease from the previous year. COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, THAT THE 1991 BUDGET INCLUDE THE PERCENTAGES AS SET FORTH IN THE DOCUMENT -FROM COMMUNITY TRANSIT. Administrative Director Art Housler explained that he could not add more than one column to the . budget document and issue the document in a timely fashion because the computer is not programmed for that capacity. Councilmember Jaech requested Mr. Housler to include one additional column showing the percentage of change over the previous budget, then. Mayor Naughten said he reviewed the minutes of the retreat, and there is no indication that the Council wanted to have the percentage increase or decrease included in the budget. He reminded the Council that it is their responsibility to make sure that the minutes are correct before they approve them. COUNCILMEMBER JAECH INQUIRED IF COUNCILMEMBER KASPER WOULD AGREE TO CLARIFY THE MOTION TO INCLUDE JUST THE ONE COLUMN SHOWING THE CHANGE OVER THE 1990 BUDGET RATHER THAN AMEND THE MOTION. COUN- CILMEMBER KASPER CONCURRED. A ROLL CALL VOTE WAS TAKEN. MOTION CARRIED WITH COUNCILMEMBER DWYER, COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, COUN- CILMEMBER HERTRICH AND COUNCILMEMBER PALMER IN FAVOR; COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST AND COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH ABSTAINED. Councilmember Hertrich said he abstained from voting on the motion because he was-di-ssatisfied with the response he received from Councilmembers when he was questioning Mr. Housler. COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PALMER, TO ADOPT COMMUNITY TRANSIT'S FORMAT FOR NEXT YEAR'S PRELIMINARY AND FINAL BUDGET. MOTION CARRIED WITH COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST OP- POSED. Councilmember Hertrich said he would appreciate the same consideration when he is making state- ments on the record that other Councilmembers receive . COUNCIL Council President Nordquist reminded the Council .of the dinner meeting next Tuesday with the Mountlake Terrace City Council. Council President Nordquist regretfully noted the loss of Louis Moss., the accordion player. Council President Nordquist referred to the letter he submitted to the Council regarding the Ferry Study Consultant Selection Committee. He said he was unsure that the five candidates that were selected by the Committee were the best choice. He noted that they will be interviewed on November 3rd. Because of the magnitude of the project, he asked the Council how they wished to proceed with the process. Councilmember Hertrich related the events of one of the meetings he attended and said he, too, was uncomfortable with the selection process. Councilmember Dwyer felt that the Council's involvement in the selection of the treatment plant consultant provided the Council with a high level of confidence in the construction of that plant. He suggested that the Council involve themselves in the consultant selection process for the ferry study. COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH, THAT THE FULL COUNCIL PARTICIPATE IN THE REVIEW OF THE FIVE CANDIDATES THAT WERE SELECTED, AND THAT THE COUNCIL BE PROVIDED WITH THEIR RESUMES BY FRIDAY. MOTION CARRIED. COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH, THAT THE COUNCIL BE PROVIDED WITH A COPY OF THE CRITERIA THAT STAFF USED IN REVIEWING THE FIVE CANDIDATES, AS WELL AS A COPY OF THE ADVERTISEMENT THAT SET OUT THE SPECIFICATIONS. MOTION CARRIED. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 6 OCTOBER 23, 1990 *In response to Councilmember Hertrich, Councilmember Kasper said he did not feel it is the City's responsibility to ascertain where ferry customers should park. He noted that ferry commuters cannot park in the circular bus system that is designated for Seattle commuters. Councilmember Hertrich requested the Mayor to provide the Council with a report regarding that subject. Councilmember Hertrich also requested a report on the operation of the rescue boat. Councilmember Jaech said she noticed a business near the Water District on 205th that had its doors open and a big sign advertising their shutter business. She inquired if that is an allow- able use. Planning Division Manager Mary Lou Block said that business is located in the County and not the City. Councilmember Kasper said he was approached by a "good inside source" the other day and told that the City was offered a proposal last Spring to participate in a fire station with Mountlake Ter- race and Fire District No. 1 but the City rejected the offer. Mayor Naughten said he was not aware of that proposal. Because Councilmember Kasper wanted to explore that possibility, Mayor Naughten said he would discuss that issue with the Fire Department. Councilmember Dwyer requested Mayor Naughten to complete thesurvey regarding the person who will head the Fire Department. The meeting recessed to an executive session at 9:02 p.m. to discuss a legal matter for approxi- mately 20 minutes and adjourned thereafter. THESE MINUTES ARE SUBJECT TO NOVEMBER 5, 1990 APPROVAL.
