P
APPROVAL_ OF MINUTES OF FEBRUARY 12, 1991 AND FEBRUARY 19, 1991 [ITEM (B) ON THE CONSENT AGENDA
Councilmember Kasper referred to the February 12, 1991 minutes, page 2, paragraph 1, and request -
the following underlined wording be added to the end of the 5th sentence, "He feels that a
J' pace needs study needs to be performed first before any system is installed, and it should be
installed at the time of the remodeling. In the meantime, consider leasing a board to expan
capacity".
Councilmember Kasper referred to the February 19, 1991 minutes, page 7, and requested that his
comments be included between the 3rd and 4th paragraphs as follows, "We know recovery is 82% or
less. If that building (Anderson Center) has 26,000 square feet of unused space, we better tear
P it down and not put one -quarter of a million dollars into windows. There has to be factors that
are wrong (referring to Staff's recovery estimates in the Council packet.) We have 15,000 feet
rented space and 14,000 leased space, but we don't know if that includes common areas. There
must be office space for Parks & Rec". Councilmember Kasper said, "All of the areas that aren't
the City --can't be leased --should be down in the other. The purpose of this thing was to
show that we do not break even on the Anderson Center as set forth originally, and it's really
something in the 70's, I would say, and that was the purpose of quickly running these figures".
Mr. Hahn noted that the figures were within 5% or 10% and were sufficient for the purpose intend-
ed. Councilmember Kasper said, "The point in bringing it into the picture was that Anderson
Center is not carrying itself and neither is the pool". He said there are many people in the
City who do not use the Anderson Center that would use the pool. He believed the City should
consider renovating the pool before it deteriorates before investing $250,000 for windows for the
Anderson Center.
p� Councilmember Kasper referred to page 6 of the minutes. He asked City Attorney Scott Snyder if a
date certain was attached to the $30,800. Mr. Snyder said he included June 1st in the agreement.
Councilmember Hertrich referred to page 7 of the minutes, paragraph 13, and requested that the
following information be included, "Councilmember Hertrich referred to past articles in the Enter-
prise dated August 3, 1983 quoting Steve Simpson with reference to wh he felt the pool should be
covered at that time. He felt it was not weathering wel I and was not designed to Withstand reez-
in tem eratures, an boththe tie and deckneeded replacing because o crackin an eavin .

ed S120,0OU of repairs for next summer, lhe article indicated that covering Yost Pool has re-
mained a high priority in the City's Capital Improvement Plan and was approved by both the Plan-
ning Commission and City Council. On April 15, 1987, an Enterprise article referred to the hi h
cost of a permanent pool cover and hesitance by residents to support a bond issue, which creat-
ed reluctance on the part of the Planning Board to include it in the five-year par ro ram but,
at the same time, the City Council vote 6-1 to include covering Yost Pool in that o an.
COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO DEFER APPROVAL OF FEBRUARY 19,
1991 MINUTES UNTIL MARCH 5, 1991.
In response to Councilmember Dwyer's comment regarding the clarity of the motion on page 6, para-
graph 12 of the February 19 minutes, Mr. Snyder said the contract that he drafted was for a City
commitment to provide matching funds for the 1991 fiscal year with the requirement that Pathways
po-wv'01%S For Women come back by June 1, 1991 with commitments sufficient to construct the project. If the
W�commitments are obtained, the funds will be released and if they are not obtained, the funds will
iry be returned to the budget and the contract would be at an end.
MOTION CARRIED. Another correction to the February 19 minutes, page 8, fourth paragraph, should
reflect the figure in the motion to be $3,800 (delete one zero).
CWC-MDR MONTHLY REPORT
Bud Benges, CWC-HDR, Inc., reported that correction of deficient items in the raw sewage pumping
Jstation, primary clarifiers and solids processing building/incineration facilities are near com-
pletion. Work on the secondary treatment units continues with finalization of piping and miscel-
laneous mechanical systems in the RAS/WAS area, installation of electrical in the RAS/WAS area,
i' and installation of sludge collection mechanisms in the final clarifiers.
Mr. Benges noted that construction of the architectural walls of the blower building and effluent
pumping station are near completion. The contractor has installed the precast girders which will
support the public area slab and planters on the north end of the site above final clarifier no.
2. Formwork and support for installation of the effluent pumping station concrete roof is near
completion. Framing of the operations/control building roof structure is in progress. The con-
tractor plans to finish the framing by the end of February 1991.
Mr. Benges said the contractor has completed installation of the buried electrical ducts from
Snohomish County P.U.D.'s system to the treatment plant transformer area and has installed the
main electrical service switchboard. The P.U.D. has indicated they will not supply the electri-
cal service wire needed between their transformers and the main electrical service switchboard so
purchase of the wire must now be made through the treatment plant construction contract, which
will require a change order.
Mr. Benges said change order no. 10, equalling $44,318, has been executed by the City of
Edmonds. The change order included twenty-four items. Major items were addition of lighting at
the raw sewage wetwells, addition of lighting in the bar screen enclosures, addition of sound
attenuation at the solids process building odor control exhaust plenum, and addition of NPW water
piping at the operations/control building.
Mr. Benges said CWC-HDR is in the process of finalizing contract closeout documents on behalf of
the wastewater meter stations project contractor in an effort to complete closeout of the project
in March 1991.
EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 2 FEBRUARY 26, 1991
Mr. Benges said CWC-HDR met with the Arts Commission regarding the contractor's proposal for
mitigation of the west wall, and a meeting is scheduled with the Architectural Design Board in
March to present the issue.
Mr. Benges noted that there are change orders for sludge hauling and the secondary conductor
wire. Councilmember Dwyer inquired if there would be grant participation in both change orders.
Mr. Benges replied affirmatively.
Mayor Naughten inquired about the number of off-street parking spaces when the project is complet-
ed. Mr. Benges said there will be twelve off-street spaces in the area just north of the opera-
tions building.
With regard to the 600 volt secondary electrical wire omission at the treatment plant site, Mr.
Benges explained that CWC-HDR designed the electrical system and prepared the construction con-
tract document and the agreement with the Snohomish County P.U.D. for materials and work to be
performed. The engineer (CWC-HDR) left out, in both the contract and the agreement, the furnish-
ing of 10,000 feet of 600 volt electrical wire. The engineer included the wire in the design
drawing and specified that the contractor, as part of the bid, install the wire to be furnished
by the P.U.D. However, there was no agreement for the P.U.D. to furnish the wire shown on the
design drawings. Mr. Benges said the omission evidently occurred because of a misunderstanding
as to what P.U.D. would furnish. The engineer thought the P.U.D. would provide the materials to
be installed by the contractor, but the P.U.D. has demonstrated that the furnishing of secondary
wire is not a P.U.D. practice and was not in their agreement or cost estimate. Mr. Benges said
the wire will have to be purchased by the contractor through a change order. The cost to install
the wire is already in the contract and contract price. The cost to purchase the wire will in-
crease the construction cost, but will not require increasing the budget. A formal change order
must be executed with the contractor for 10,000 feet of 600 volt conductor wire, and the cost
will most likely exceed the $50,000 amount, requiring Council approval.
Councilmember Palmer inquired to what degree the cost of the secondary conductor wire is higher
by purchasing the wire at the present time rather than under the original agreement. Mr. Benges
said there is no penalty associated with including the work in the construction contract either
from a grant viewpoint or a purchase viewpoint. He explained that when bidding, the contractor
puts together the cost of the conductors with a unit price associated with the information avail-
able at the time, which includes inflationary costs.
In response to Councilmember Palmer, Mr.'Benges said CWC-HDR would absorb the additional cost if
it is higher than would have been if the wire was included in the contract.
Councilmember Kasper inquired if the P.U.D. reviewed the plan. Mr. Benges said the plan was
submitted to the P.U.D., and the P.U.D. reviewed only the configuration of the plan and not the
components.
Councilmember Hertrich inquired if other utilities provide secondary conductor wire. Mr. Benges
said the policy varies from utility to utility. He said the misunderstanding occurred because
the meters were originally located on the primary side but were relocated to the secondary side,
and CWC-HDR surmised the the P.U.D. would provide the conductors to the meters rather than just
to the transformers.
Mr. Benges said the costs for sludge disposal during the period of time when there was no inciner-
ation to burn the sludge increased dramatically. He explained that Metro has a cost associated
with receiving and disposing of sludge and of hauling sludge from the City's plant to the Metro
plant.
Mr. Benges said the cost of receiving and disposing of the sludge was originally based on a Metro
unit cost of $.04 per gallon for sludge that had 3% solids. Metro subsequently wrote a letter to
the City after bids were let saying the cost had increased to $.05 per gallon for 2% solids and
the increase was not incorporated in the bid documents during the bid period. Mr. Benges noted
that $.04 per gallon at 3% solids is equal to $.075 per gallon at 3% solids. When Metro received
the sludge, he said they measured concentrations and charged the City for the pounds of solids
that were delivered. In addition to the per gallon cost increase, Mr. Benges said CWC-HDR based
their estimate of the amount of solids on the City plan operating data for a four-year period but
have since discovered that that data was faulty; it was 43% less than the solids that were actual-
ly generated. Mr. Benges said those factors increased the sludge haul from $274,000 to $517.000.
Mr. Benges said the cost increase is grant eligible, but the Department of Ecology would like the
final quantities and costs shown in a change order.

Councilmember Palmer inquired why the Council was not notified earlier of the cost increase. Mr.
Benges said the Council was notified at a previous Council meeting.
DISCUSSION ON LANDSCAPING AT SECONDARY SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT
Bud Benges, CWC-HDR, Inc., said the aesthetic and non -aesthetic issues of the treatment plant
were coordinated with the Citizens' Advisory Committee, Arts Commission, Architectural Desigr.
Board (ADB), and the City Council during the planning and design phases of the project, and
progress reports were provided each month.
Mr. Benges reviewed with the Council several renderings of the treatment plant during the design
phase =, noting that the third revision to the plant model in March 1988 was the model that was
accepted by the Council. He said CWC's records indicate that the Citizens' Advisory Committee
preferred the option whereby more mature plantings would be provided along Dayton and 2nd and the
ADB minimum requirement would be provided on the west face and along the south face of the treat-
ment plant.
Councilmember Kasper inquired at what time the Council approved of elimination of the trees on
the west side. Mr. Benges said he did not know. He noted that the model that was presented to
the Council on March 8, 1988 depicted many trees along SR-104 in the State right-of-way, and it
was approved by the Council, Citizens' Advisory Committee and the ADB.
Mr. Benges reviewed the general plan that was presented to the ADB. He said the concept was
presented to the Council, but he was not sure if it was approved by the Council. Mr. Benges said
the model probably reflected more of the modeller's perception of what the landscaping would be
rather than the landscape plan that went through the process.
Mr. Benges said CWC-HDR submitted a request to the State of Washington Department of Transporta-
tion (DOT) in February of 1988 to construct a walkway on the right-of-way to connect the walkway
to Dayton Street, and to landscape the right-of-way, but CWC received a response several months
later allowing the use of the right-of-way with a proviso that the area be restored to its origi-
nal condition upon project completion so the cattails would reestablish themselves. In response,
Mr. Benges said CWC requested to be allowed to construct a walkway in the right-of-way with land-
scaping but reconstruct the wetlands elsewhere. He said the local DOT personnel have indicated
the proposal to be acceptable but must forward it to Olympia because of the sensitive nature of
the site.
Councilmember Kasper inquired .if it was feasible to construct a wall and put plantings on top of
the wall. Mr. Benges said the wall has to do with mitigation of the west wall, which was located
on City property. He said it would be technically feasible but is subject to ADB approval.
Councilmember Hertrich inquired if the City could legally require a sidewalk on a public thorough-
fare. City Attorney Scott Snyder said the City has no control over the State's right-of-way.
Councilmember Hertrich inquired if the City could persuade the State to allow a sidewalk along
the SR-104 corridor. Mr. Snyder said although the City has no leverage, it could cite safety
factors and ask legislators to put pressure on the State to allow a sidewalk. Councilmember
Hertrich inquired about the width of the right-of-way. Mr. Benges said it is 15 feet adjacent to
the treatment plant and becomes wider to the south. Councilmember Kasper observed that most of
SR-104 is limited access in that area.
CONTINUED COUNCIL DELIBERATION ON APPEAL OF STAFF DECISION REGARDING LOCATION OF SERVICE CLUB
SIGN AT 9 H AVE. AND PUGET DR. (ADB-104-90/AP-27-90; APPELLANT: NATALIE SH N
Current Planning Supervisor Jeff Wilson reported that the issue was continued from February 19.
At the direction of the Council, he said mock-up signs were erected at two locations: 9th and
Puget Drive and near the western property line of Page Realty.
Mr. Wilson said it appears that the Page Realty site can be utilized without the necessity of
major code amendments. Page Realty could grant a license agreement to the City.
Mayor Naughten noted that the City received several letters of complaint from citizens regarding
the sign at 9th and Puget Drive but has not received any complaints regarding the Page Realty
location.
COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER FOR DISCUSSION, TO APPROVE THE ALTER-
NATE LOCATION AT THE PAGE REALTY SITE, GIVEN THE SIGNED LICENSE AGREEMENT. (No discussion fol-
lowed). MOTION CARRIED. (Councilmember Dwyer did not participate in the discussion or vote.)
EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 4 FEBRUARY 26, 1991
Mayor Naughten recognized Tom Snyder, Chairman of the service clubs, in the audience. Mr. Snyder
presented the original revocable license signed by David Page to the City Clerk. He thanked the
Council.
CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR CITY PARTICIPATION IN COST OF SERVICE CLUB SIGNS
Tom Snyder, 8204 - 182nd P1. S.W., representing the Edmonds' service clubs, submitted copies of
the total cost of two signs, including tax, to the Council of $5,760.57.
Councilmember Dwyer inquired what percentage of participation the service clubs were requesting
of the City. Mr. Snyder said the service clubs would accept any amount of participation.
Because the service club signs would be targeted at out-of-towners, Councilmember Jaech recommend-
ed that the City's share of the sign emanate from Tourism funds.
Councilmember Kasper inquired about the original cost of the signs before they went to the Archi-
tectural Design Board. Mr. Snyder replied $3,000.
COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PALMER, TO, PAY UP TO HALF OF THE COST OF
THE SIGNS AND DERIVE THE MONEY FROM TOURISM FUND 120.
Councilmember Hertrich, on behalf of a service club member who had spoken to him recently, said
that member felt the citizens would not approve of their tax dollars being expended for a service
club sign, and the member did not think 9th and Puget Drive was an appropriate location for the
sign.
Councilmember Palmer commented that overwhelming evidence has been presented to the Council at-
testing to the value of service clubs to the City of Edmonds and to its citizens at large. Coun-
cilmember Palmer said he totally disagreed with the idea that public funds should not be spent to
partially fund the sign.
Mayor Naughten noted that the twenty-one American flags in the Centennial Plaza were purchased by
Edmonds' service clubs.
MOTION CARRIED.
As the wife of a Vietnam veteran, Councilmember Jaech thanked the service clubs for the flags and
their support for the troops in the Persian Gulf.
CONTINUED REVIEW OF NON -REPRESENTED EMPLOYEES SALARY REPORT
Personnel Manager Brent Hunter reported that during the Council's review of non -represented em-
ployees in 1991, a recommendation was made by him to increase the salary grade/range for several
positions but action on that matter was delayed until the 1991 budget was completed. Mr. Hunter
said the report that was included in the Council packets recommended changes for the Hydraulics
Engineer, the Engineering Specialist 1, the City Clerk, Accounting manager, and the Associate
Planner. He noted that salary adjustments stemmed from a comparison of non -represented positions
within the marketplace cities.
Mr. Hunter said changes were made to the City Engineer and Assistant City Engineer job descrip-
tions by the Council on February 12, 1991 (included in the Council packets).
Mr. Hunter said a salary adjustment would not provide an automatic salary increase for any of the
incumbents in the above -mentioned positions, but it would place them in a position to receive
additional merit increases in the future if they were topped out in their salary range.
Councilmember Kasper inquired if the salary adjustment could be retroactive. Mr. Hunter replied
affirmatively.
Councilmember Hertrich asked how many of the incumbents were topped out. Mr. Hunter replied
two. He said a salary adjustment is recommended because the marketplace indicates that the incum-
bents are below the average salary and not because they are topped out.
Councilmember Hertrich inquired if the duties and responsibilities of the incumbents were similar
to marketplace cities. Mr. Hunter said he did not compare each and every duty but simply asked
what those positions were compensated at. He noted that the next agenda item did include duties
of the City Clerks in the marketplace cities.
COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO APPROVE THE POSITION CHANGES AS
RECOMMENDED. MOTION CARRIED.
EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 5 FEBRUARY 26, 1991
Councilmember Hertrich inquired how the salary adjustment would impact the budget. Mr. Hunter
said other than a 1% increase for the City Clerk, he was unaware of any pay increase that would
be retroactive.
COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, THAT THE SALARY ADJUSTMENTS BE
EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 1991. MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Hunter noted that the City Council amended the job description of the City Engineer on Febru-
ary 12 by adding the treatment plant to his duties. Councilmember Hertrich felt the City Engi-
neer position should be upgraded because of the additional duties.
Councilmember Kasper responded that an Assistant City Engineer will relieve the City Engineer of
many of the duties of overseeing the wastewater treatment plant. Councilmember Kasper inquired
if a marketplace study was conducted for the City Engineer's position. Mr. Hunter replied affir-
matively. He did not recommend a change in the salary because he said it is within 5% of the
marketplace.
COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, TO AMEND THE LICENSES/CERTIFICATIONS
QUALIFICATIONS OF THE CITY ENGINEER TO REQUIRE A STATE OF WASHINGTON PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER'S
LICENSE, ELIMINATING THE PHRASE, "AT THE TIME OF EMPLOYMENT OR WITHIN ONE YEAR THEREAFTER".
Councilmember Hertrich noted that other positions in the City were allowed to obtain certifica-
tion within a specified period of time after being hired, and he felt the City Engineer should
also be allowed that latitude. Councilmember Dwyer disagreed, saying the City Engineer should be
an Engineer, just as the City Attorney should be an attorney.
MOTION CARRIED WITH COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH OPPOSED.
COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PALMER, TO APPROVE THE JOB DESCRIPTION AS
MODIFIED. MOTION CARRIED WITH COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH OPPOSED.
REVIEW CITY CLERK DIVISION STAFFING
Personnel Manager Brent Hunter reported that at the 1990 Council retreat, the City Council stated
their interest in reviewing the organization and staffing in the City Clerk's office. Because
ath Swafford, Administrative Clerk in the City Clerk's office, was recently promoted to the
�jFinance Department, the City Council stated a desire to discuss the City Clerk's office organiza-
tion before proceeding with replacement of that vacancy.
Mr. Hunter said he, the Mayor, and Administrative Services Director Art Housler have recommended
the following action plan for the review of the City Clerk's organization:
Replace the vacant position for the Administrative Clerk with a temporary part-time employee who
will work until approximately mid -June. He said they believed the City could temporarily hire a
person to work 19 hours a week at $8 per hour until a thorough review of the City Clerk's organ-
ization is completed.
The City Clerk's organization should be reviewed at the Council retreat. The retreat will pro-
vide more time to assess the impact of the new telephone system in that work area and a better
opportunity to discuss alternative organizational options.
He added that City Clerk Jackie Parrett has stated her intent to retire on October 1, 1991. This
should provide the City with at least three months prior to her retirement to hire and train her
replacement or implement whatever alternative option is selected by the Council.
Mr. Hunter said a review of the City Clerk functions in other cities revealed that there is a
variety of duties associated with each City Clerk that is different in each City but, generally,
the principal duties are very similar to the duties of the City Clerk of Edmonds.
COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH, TO REVIEW THE ORGANIZATIONAL STRUC-
TURE OF THE CITY CLERK'S POSITION AT THE COUNCIL RETREAT, AND HIRE A TEMPORARY PART-TIME EMPLOYEE
TO WORK AS THE ADMINISTRATIVE CLERK TO APPROXIMATELY MID-JUNE. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilmember Kasper requested that the proposal for the division be provided to the Council
prior to the retreat so they will have time to review it.
REVIEW OF WORKING DRAFT OF NEW TOURISM BUREAU
Mayor Naughten introduced Doug Dewar, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the the Edmonds
Visitor's Bureau.
EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 6 FEBRUARY 26, 1991
Mayor Naughten said for some time it has been felt that there would be advantages in consolidat-
ing various community functions for greater efficiency. He said the idea of consolidating the
community's tourism activities into one coordinated effort has become a reality. The City ap-
proved of the concept of the consolidated tourism bureau last November, and the final step is
approval of the Edmonds Visitors' Bureau (EVB) budget.
Councilmember Kasper recalled that the Council was amenable to the concept but did not formally
agree to it and did not set aside funds in the budget. Mayor Naughten said the Council agreed to
the concept of a consolidated tourism bureau and agreed to appoint him to the Executive Committee
to develop a plan.
Mr. Dewar introduced Don Bartholomaus with the Chamber of Commerce, who assisted him with the
presentation.
Mr. Dewar reported that the Arts Commission, Chamber of Commerce, City of Edmonds, Port of
Edmonds, Tourism Committee, Visitor Information Center, and several other groups are presently
involved in promoting Edmonds and have created the concept of an Edmonds Visitors Bureau to con-
solidate the community's tourism activities.
Mr. Dewar said the mission of the EVB will be to provide a centralized cooperative means of mar-
keting and promoting Edmonds locally and regionally as a special place to visit. Its objectives
are to stimulate participation by local residents in Edmonds' activities and trade, to attract
visitors to Edmonds, and to stem the outflow of local dollars. The EVB would be responsible for
overall promotional marketing for Edmonds' natural features and ongoing attractions, selected
community -wide special events, and certain retail and other promotions selected by the Executive
Committee. Mr. Dewar said the total first -year budget is projected to be $78,000 for media,
promotion and production expenses, salaries, and overhead and professional fees, and the initial
operation funds are proposed to be derived from the budgets of the three parent organizations as
follows: Edmonds Chamber of Commerce - $50,000; City of Edmonds - $18,000; and the Port of
Edmonds - $10,000. Future funding plans may include sources such as membership fees from individ-
ual businesses, service and civic organizations, and a share of the proceeds from City-wide spe-
cial events. Mr. Dewar noted that the Chamber of Commerce and Port of Edmonds have approved of
their participation in the concept.
Mr. Dewar said the City's share, if approved, would emanate from the Hotel/Motel Tax. Mayor
Naughten noted that the estimated revenues for the 1991 Hotel/Motel Tax are $40,000. He said
$10,000 of the City's share will emanate from the Tourism Commission, and $8,000 will emanate
from 50% of the Hotel/Motel Tax. Mayor Naughten explained that $10,000 (25%) of the Hotel/Motel
Tax is allocated to the Tourism Commission, $10,000 (25%)is allocated to the Arts Commission, and
$20,000 (50%)is allocated to the City.
Councilmember Dwyer inquired if the Tourism Committee was aware that their share of the Ho-
tel/Motel Tax would be rerouted to the EVB. Mayor Naughten replied affirmatively. Councilmember
Dwyer inquired if the Tourism Committee would then be defunct. Mayor Naughten replied affirma-
tively.
In response to Councilmember Dwyer, Administrative Services Director Art Housler explained that
$15,000 is allocated to the Municipal Arts Commission Fund 117. The Tourism/Promotional Commit-
tee Fund 121 will contribute $10,000 and will then be defunct.
Councilmember Palmer inquired how the division of funding was determined. Mr. Dewar said the
funding was determined by the Executive Committee based on what amount of money the Chamber of
Commerce, City of Edmonds, and Port of Edmonds have expended in the past for tourism.
Councilmember Jaech inquired if the City's total contribution for 1991 for tourism, then, would
be $18,000 and no other requests for brochures, etc. would be forthcoming. Mr. Dewar replied
affirmatively.
Mr. Dewar reviewed the structure of the EVB and responsibilities and functions of each entity.
Mr. Dewar requested the Council to approve the budgetary request for the City.
Councilmember Jaech inquired if monies generated or donated by the City would be extended for
advertising for specific businesses. Mr. Dewar replied negatively.
Councilmember Jaech inquired about the composition of the Marketing Committee. Mr. Dewar said
anyone who wished to contribute to the EVB and had the expertise may serve on the Committee.
Councilmember Jaech recommended that the Marketing Committee and Executive Committee present to
EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 7 FEBRUARY 26, 1991
the Council the activities that are planned for 1991, and then provide a report on a quarterly or
semi-annual basis on the progress of those activities. She also recommended that 1992 project -
and funding requests be submitted to the Council during the budgetary process. Mayor Naughter
said approximately 70% of the projects are already being implemented by various groups. Tho
remaining projects, he said, would be presented to the Council. Mr. Dewar said the Council will
have full accountability of how the money is being spent. He said, however, the EVB will not
always know in advance how all of the funds will be expended. Councilmember Jaech said the Coun-
cil would like to know, though, how the City's money will be spent so that the Council can decide
what amount of money to allocate to the different tourism groups in the City. Councilmember
Palmer felt that budgetary control is extremely important. He said one of the ways the Council
could assure budgetary control would be to have the Executive Committee member for the City be a
designee of the Council.
Councilmember Palmer inquired if the Arts Commission and Sister City Commission were supportive
of the concept and wished to participate. Mr. Dewar said there was a unanimous vote in support
of the concept at the most recent Tourism Committee meeting with an abstention from Councilmember
Hertrich. Councilmember Hertrich said he abstained from voting because the discussion was un-
clear to him at that time.
Councilmember Hertrich inquired about the composition of the Marketing Committee. Mr. Dewar said
the tourism Committee and subcommittees were invited to be a part of the Marketing Committee.
Councilmember Hertrich inquired if the Arts Commission would be required to participate in the
funding if they wished to be on the Marketing Committee. Mr. Dewar replied negatively.
Councilmember Palmer inquired if the independent commissions were free to commit dollars to the
EVB without Council approval. City Attorney Scott Snyder stated that the Council approves all
budgets for all City commissions and determines the parameters of how the money will be expend-
ed. He said a contract is typically entered into for an autonomous body, such as the EVB, that
specifies all procedures, and the Council can either generalize for the expenditure of funds or
require that specific projects be presented to the Council as part of the budgetary process and
preapprove them by exhibit along with the appropriation. Councilmember Palmer noted that the
Arts Commission is an existing committee and has their own tourism line item. He inquired if
they could approve an expenditure for the EVB. Mr. Snyder replied negatively. He said the Coun-
cil determines how all City funds are to be expended.
Councilmember Kasper inquired if the Executive Committee would present a proposal to the Council
with regard to expenditure of funds before they are expended. Mr. Dewar said the EVB would like
the Council to entrust the three chief executives to formulate a plan and then provide periodic
reports to the Council. He said they would each be given monthly financial reports, which the
Mayor would share with the Council.
Councilmember Kasper inquired if the City could allocate money without a plan. Mr. Snyder said
it was within the Council's discretion to do so. He said the Council could contract with the
EVB, reference statutory limitations on how tourism funds can be spent, and then provide for the
maintenance of an audit trail to insure they are expended according to the contract.
COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY ATTORNEY TO
DRAW UP AN ANNUAL CONTRACT; THAT THE CONTRACT INCLUDE LANGUAGE CALLING FOR STANDARD ACCEPTABLE
ACCOUNTING PRACTICES AND PROVIDE FOR A STATE AUDIT TRAIL, AS WELL AS THE LIMITS ON THE USE OF
PUBLIC FUNDS; THAT THE CITY'S DESIGNEE OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE BE CHOSEN BY THE COUNCIL, AND
THIS YEAR'S DESIGNEE IS MAYOR NAUGHTEN; THAT THE CITY'S TOURISM COMMITTEE BE SIMULTANEOUSLY DEAC-
TIVATED WITH THE ACTIVATION OF THE EVB; THAT THE EVB PREPARE AND SUBMIT A BUDGET TO THE CITY FOR
THE FOLLOWING YEAR BY AUGUST 1 OF THE .PREVIOUS YEAR; THAT THERE BE PROVISIONS FOR REVIEW OF THE
PROGRESS ON ITEMS; THAT THE COUNCIL GRANT PRELIMINARY APPROVAL FOR 1991 FUNDING IN THE SUM OF
$18,000 ($10,000 FROM FUND 121, THE TOURISM COMMITTEE FUND; AND $8,000 FROM FUND 120, THE HO-
TEL/MOTEL TAX FUND); AND THAT THE CONTRACT BE SET ON A CONSENT AGENDA FOR FINAL APPROVAL.
Councilmember Kasper said he would like to hear from Mr. Blossey and the Arts Commission before
the Council voted.
Mayor Naughten introduced Jim Blossey, consultant to the Executive Committee; Bill Stevens from
the Port or Edmonds, who will serve on the Executive Committee; Carolyn Johnson, Director of the
Executive Committee; and Gayle Lindahl, President of the Chamber of Commerce.
James Blossey, 8724 Main St.', in response to a question by Councilmember Kasper, said he is a
public relations counselor for the Port of Edmonds. Councilmember Kasper inquired what his posi-
tion would be with the EVB. Mr. Blossey replied professional counselor. He explained that pub-
lic relations is generally conceived as helping people set their public image and disseminate
EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 8 FEBRUARY 26, 1991
that image. As a professional counselor assisting in marketing for EVB, he said marketing has to
do with trying to move a product or service or, in the case of EVB, a destination in the market-
place. Councilmember Kasper inquired if Mr. Blossey has other clients in Edmonds. Mr. Blossey
said he has worked with Howard Anderson for a number of years.
Josephine Fye, Chairman of the Arts Commission, said the EVB approached the Commission earlier
but they were not quite sure what the funding request would be. Ms. Fye said the Commission is
very cognizant of the Council's position in administering money, and the Commission was somewhat
concerned about "double dipping coming to the Council and Commission". She said the Commission
subsequently declined financial participation mostly because the funds they have accumulated are
a result of fund raising and earned interest that have been earmarked for a project that was
deferred two years ago. Ms. Fye noted that that project would greatly benefit the EVB. She said
the Commission is supportive of the EVB efforts but is reticent to participate in funding at the
present time.
MOTION CARRIED.
DISCUSSION OF ARTS COMMISSION CLERICAL POSITION
�p�+�'Community Services Director Peter Hahn recognized Arts Commission members Eleanor Granmo, Chrisse
L4M°` Bennett, Shirley Frank, Joanne Nelson, and Josephine Fye in the audience.
Mr. Hahn reported the the 1991 proposed budget included a permanent half-time clerical position
for the Arts Commission. While the Council discussed deleting the benefits for this position
during the budget review, he said no formal motion was made and the final 1991 budget included
the position. In addition, a half-time position was also shown in the 1990 budget. In 1988, and
reflected in the 1989 budget, he said clerical help was also discussed and budgeted.
Councilmember Kasper recalled that the duties were previously performed by Arts Coordinator Linda
McCrystal with 30% of her time allotted to those duties, but a temporary staff person subsequent-
ly replaced her to free her for Centennial activities. He noted that the Arts Commission request-
ed a permanent person in 1991 to work half time with benefits. He said the Council has discussed
how to handle commissioned employees for many years and should come to a conclusion with respect
to their position on that matter.
Josephine Fye, Chairman of the Arts Commission, to demonstrate the need for the clerical posi-
tion, reviewed the projects set forth by the Commission for the year and the specific duties and
time involved for that position.
Ms. Fye said the Arts Commission acknowledges and supports the Council's concern with regard to
staffing expenses. She said the Commission intends to fully evaluate their objectives and goals
in 1991 and the resources to meet them in preparation for the 1992 budget. She asked the Council
to consider that almost all events that the Commission holds are outside of business hours, which
means that the coordinator, and sometimes clerical staff, take compensating time, as required,
during business hours.
Ms. Fye asked the Council for their approval of nineteen hours per week for the clerical position
as it was approved in prior years. She said reassignment of that position would greatly impair
projects that the Commission has committed to.
Councilmember Palmer said it was his understanding that the Council was reticent to approve an
increase in the hours and provision of benefits for the position but had no objection to the
existing nineteen -hour position.
Councilmember Kasper disagreed with Councilmember Palmer, He noted that the position was initial-
ly a thirteen -hour -per -week job and was increased to nineteen hours during the Centennial year
only.
Councilmember Kasper inquired how Ms. 'McCrystal's 30% time was used by the Arts Commission. Ms.
Fye referred to a memorandum from Parks & Recreation Manager Arvilla Ohlde outlining Ms.
McCrystal's responsibilities on the Arts Commission. Ms. Fye said Ms. McCrystal's skills were
very specific and brought the professional aspect to the job rather than the clerical aspect.
Councilmember Kasper said the Council must decide whether to hire within the City or seek staff-
ing from an outside agency because the City cannot contract for the position.
Mayor Naughten noted that the clerical position was increased from 13 hours to 19 hours during
the Centennial year and Ms. McCrystal was reassigned to projects for the Centennial, but 19 hours
EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 9 FEBRUARY 26, 1991
were included in the 1991 budget for that position. He said Ms. Granmo and Ms. McCrystal request-
ed that the position be increased to 20 hours, but the Council denied the request and 19 hours
remained in the budget. Councilmember Kasper pointed out that the record reflects that the
request for the Arts Commission for one regular half-time City Employee position was not approved
and that Ms. McCrystal would accommodate the staffing needs.
City Attorney Scott Snyder stated that the City provided clerical support for a City commission
last year and those duties were originally performed by Ms. McCrystal. He said last year when
the Council reassigned Ms. McCrystal for one year on a special project the City could legitimate-
ly have argued that the additional work being done that justified the part-time position was
temporary in the true sense of the word. Because the Centennial was over, his concern was that
there was an expansion of the work that has traditionally been done by a City employee within a
bargaining unit. He believed the union could rightfully negotiate if the City hired a temporary
employee. However the City employs that person, he said the position should be filled by an
employee who is subject to the bargaining unit.
Discussion ensued with respect to when the position was originally filled and how the position
has evolved since that time.
In response to a question by Mayor Naughten, Mr. Housler said $10,400 was budgeted in the 1991
budget for a part-time employee for the Arts Commission at $7 per hour, with benefits, at 1s
hours a week. Mr. Hahn said $11,160 was set aside in the 1991 budget for the position at $8 per
hour, but benefits have never been implemented even though the budget included monies for sala-
ries and benefits. He said, however, the budget includes money for 20 hours per week. Council -
member Dwyer inquired how much money was in the approved budget for the position. Mr. Hahn said
money is included for 20 hours per week with benefits.
Councilmember Kasper said the Personnel Department has no authority for the job and the Finance
Department has no record authorizing payment for that position. He reminded the Council that the
Council does not want "Staff people hired inside" and the Council should find a solution.
Because there was some question about whether the position was reflected in personnel reports and
whether the position was properly posted, Councilmember Palmer inquired how the Council should
proceed towards legitimizing the position. Mr. Snyder advised the Council to proceed with the
proposition that the position is reflected in the budget. He said the Council should, if they
wish to authorize the hiring of a person in line with the budget, to do so by voice motion and if
the Council wished to delete the funds, they should also do so by voice motion.
Mr. Snyder stated that after three years of continuous use of a person for the same duties, PERC
has a tendency to look at what people do and how they do it rather than at how the title is shift-
ed around. He noted that the Council could RIF the position. He said if the Council continues
to fund a position with the same person, they should assume that that person is a part-time regu-
lar employee.
COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PALMER, TO APPROVE A TEMPORARY POSITION AT
NINETEEN HOURS PER WEEK SO THE ARTS COMMISSION WILL HAVE CLERICAL HELP, AND DISCUSS INCREASING
THE NUMBER OF HOURS -AT THE COUNCIL RETREAT.
COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH, TO AMEND THE MOTION TO MAKE THE
POSITION TEMPORARY UNTIL THE COUNCIL SOLVES THE PROBLEM.
Councilmember Kasper inquired how temporary employees are structured in the City. Mr. Hunter
said temporary employees may work either on a part-time or full-time basis but are generally
employed by the City less than five months out of the year.
As a procedural matter, Mayor Naughten adjourned the meeting at 10 p.m. COUNCILMEMBER DWYER
MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, TO EXTEND THE MEETING. MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Hunter said there are positions in the City that are starting to move beyond a temporary
status, which is creating problems because the City is not geared to those people on a full-time
basis.
Councilmember Jaech said the intent of her motion was to solve the immediate problem by creating
a job description and fitting it within the City structure. She noted that she did not necessari-
ly intend to increase the hours, only to discuss it.
Ms. Fye said the duties of the clerical person have been very specific, and the position has been
very consistent over the years. She said the Arts Commission has always specifically reflected
how much that person was paid and for what hours.
EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 10 FEBRUARY 26, 1991
In response to Councilmember Dwyer, Councilmember Jaech said subsequent to the discussion at the
retreat regarding the position, the position will be a permanent job with no less than nineteen
hours for the remainder of the year.
Mr. Snyder said the position is a part-time position that is dependent upon funding; so long as
the Council approves funding, the position will exist. He noted when the Council amended the
current ordinance for the Arts Commission, they specified a $15,000 floor, which meant that fund-
ing for the Commission fluctuates, depending on the City's construction projects. Mr. Snyder
said there may be a year when there is only $15,000 available to spend and there would not be
sufficient funding to administer additional personnel.
Councilmember Hertrich inquired if: 1) the Commission could, on its own initiative, hire someone
and compensate that person from their own funds; and 2) if the Council could increase the Commis-
sion's funding base to pay for that position. Mr. Snyder said the Commission has no spending
authority apart from that of the City. The Mayor, he said, is the sole hiring and firing authori-
ty for regular employees, and the Council has to approve any contract arrangements.
COUNCILMEMBER KASPER WITHDREW THE AMENDMENT TO THE MAIN MOTION BECAUSE IT WAS REDUNDANT.
MOTION CARRIED.
Councilmember Palmer requested that a job description be prepared and submitted to the Council
for review at the retreat.
REVIEW FORMAT/STANDARDS OF PERFORMANCE CRITERIA FOR DEPARTMENT DIRECTORS AND DIVISION MANAGERS
Because of the lateness of the hour, the Council concurred to schedule the discussion for another
date because it was doubtful that the discussion could be accomplished within the fifteen minute
time frame that was allotted.
APPROVAL OF CONTRACT WITH _AALEN_CONSULTANTS FOR COMPLETE EVALUATION OF YOST POOL ($3,800) [ITEM
(D) ON THE CONSENT AGENDA]
Community Services Director Peter Hahn said the contract for the scope of work from Consultant
Bill Goerlich was based on a task that was mainly oriented toward reviewing the bids for a cov-
ered pool rather than an evaluation of the existing pool. Mr. Hahn said Mr. Goerlich submitted a
revised scope of work, as well as a revised description of the tasks and the costs. He noted
that the cost is $7,450 as opposed to the original cost of $3,800.
Councilmember Jaech inquired if Staff was comfortable with the credentials of Mr. Goerlich. Mr.
Hahn replied affirmatively.
Councilmember Hertrich noted that the leak in the pool will be repaired. He inquired why Mr.
Goerlich would be involved in evaluating that aspect. Mr. Hahn said Mr. Goerlich would ascertain
if the leak, when repaired, would be a permanent solution or if the leak is symptomatic of a more
serious problem. Councilmember Hertrich questioned the cost. to evaluate the pool. Mr. Hahn said
the scope of work shows exactly which items Mr. Goerlich will be looking at. He noted that
$1,900 is preparation of a written report, and the costs could be reduced by that amount if the
Council desired only a verbal report.
Councilmember Palmer said he could completely understand Councilmember Hertrich's reasoning for
not wanting a complete investigation into the useful life of the pool and all of the components,
as well as any proposed structure, because the figures may very well show that the proposal, as
outlined, may not be economical. He said if Councilmember Hertrich was completely convinced that
the project is an economical project, he should have absolutely no reservation in spending $7,450
to potentially save hundreds of thousands of dollars each year.
COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PALMER, TO APPROVE ITEM (D) AS REVISED, WITH
THE PROPOSED AGREEMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF $7,450, FROM THE SAME FUNDING SOURCE AS THE ORIGINAL
$3,800 WAS APPROVED, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT A CONDITION OF THE AGREEMENT IS THAT THE COUNCIL
RECEIVE A FULL REPORT BEFORE THE MARCH 19, 1991 PUBLIC HEARING.
In response to Councilmember Palmer, Councilmember Hertrich said, "Mr. Palmer made an accusation
with an assumption that was absolutely ass backwards". Councilmember Hertrich said the only
concern he had was in regard to the cost.
- MOTION CARRIED.
EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES

MAYOR
Mayor Naughten noted that one of the City's employees may be called to active duty, and he has
requested that the City pay his dependents' health insurance for ninety days. Mayor Naughten
noted that ACW has introduced a bill to the legislature that will require employers to maintain
dependent's insurance if an employee is called to active duty. Mayor Naughten recommended that
►�� �,G`` the Council support the employee's request.
City Attorney Scott Snyder said the City, generally, cannot pay someone additional compensation
for work already done. He noted that the employee, while on active duty, will be on the military
CHAMPUS medical plan.
Councilmember Dwyer inquired if the Council could extend those benefits to the employee's depen-
dents with the promise that the employee return to the City's employ after he is discharged. Mr.
Snyder said the City could draft an agreement to that effect that is as constitutional as possi-
ble.
Councilmember Jaech recommended that the benefits be paid from the employee's MEBT plan because
of the emergency nature of his status. Mr. Snyder said that would be a reasonable use of his
money, if it were approved by the MEBT Committee.
COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED TO ALLOW PEOPLE THAT ARE CALLED TO ACTIVE DUTY AN AUTHORIZATION TO BE
ON A LEAVE OF ABSENCE STATUS FOR SIX TO NINE MONTHS FOR MILITARY SERVICE. WHILE THEY ARE GONE IT
PROBABLY MEANS THE EMERGENCY PROVISIONS UNDER MEBT PLAN, AND THAT THE WITHDRAWALS CAN BE MADE
FROM THE PLAN TO COVER THEIR FAMILY FOR THEIR HEALTH BENEFITS.
Mr. Snyder inquired if Councilmember Jaech would like to include a provision that the employee
promises to return to employment with the City. Councilmember Jaech replied negatively. Council -
member Dwyer did not want to pay for insurance benefits for dependents if the employee did not
return to employment with the City. Councilmember Jaech objected. She said soldiers of war
oftentimes do not return the same person. She strongly objected to the City denying an employee
reassignment in the City because they do not feel they can fit back in the system of the City.
Mayor Naughten noted that the City cannot legally deny an employee's request who has been called
to active duty to return to the City's employ. Councilmember Jaech felt the City could support
the servicemen by continuing health benefits for their dependents whether or not they return to
the City.
MOTION FAILED FOR LACK OF A SECOND.
Councilmember Jaech inquired if the City could legally assist an employee in that way. Mr. Sny-
der said the Council could request the MEBT Committee to consider paying for health benefits, and
the Council could extend leaves of absence.
COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PALMER, TO PLACE THE EMPLOYEE OF A LEAVE OF
ABSENCE AND ASK THE MEBT COMMITTEE TO APPROVE A RELEASE OF SUFFICIENT FUNDS TO PAY THE COBRA
INSURANCE PREMIUM FROM MEBT FUNDS. MOTION CARRIED.
COUNCIL r
Council President Palmer inquired if the Mayor or Chief Prinz responded to the letter from Kathol
Roofing. Mayor Naughten.replied affirmatively.
Council President Palmer reminded the Council of the dinner meeting on February 27 with the Lynn-
wood City Council at Brier Hall, #105;,at Edmonds Community College.
Councilmember Dwyer inquired why the Health Board has a chairman and vice -chair that represent
the same City. Councilmember Hertrich said he did not know.
Councilmember Dwyer referred to Senate Bill 5644 regarding adult entertainment. He was concerned
about the effective date of January 1, 1992. He suggested that the Council communicate that
concern to the legislature.
The Council recessed to an executive session at 10:40 p.m. to discuss a property acquisition and
adjourned thereafter.
THESE MINUTES ARE SUBJECT TO MARCH 5, 1991 APPROVAL.
