the overall budget for the project.

3. Carnegie Library Building Lease Addendum
Mr. Williams explained the City has had a lease with the Edmonds Museum since 1976. This
addendum extends the lease for five years with an optional extension and adds a clause that the
museum is the exclusive lessee which will assist them in obtaining grants. The rate, maintenance
responsibilities, operating responsibilities stay the same. Councilmember Johnson pointed out
because the building is on the historic register, any additions/changes made to the land or building
require a certificate of appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC). She
requested that requirement be added to the lease.
Discussion followed regarding the City's and the Museum's responsibilities, the cost of maintaining
the building, and items in the building that need repair such as the pergola, parapet, and windows.
Action: Schedule on Consent Agenda with the addition of, "Any modifications that the City authorizes
need to be considered by the HPC for a certificate of appropriateness."
4. Resolution of Intent to Designate Highway 99 Subarea as a Residential Targeted Area
Mr. Doherty explained the Council approved implementation of the Multifamily (Property) Tax
Exemption (MFTE) program in the Westgate area following the subarea planning process. The MFTE
program is intended to encourage desired redevelopment in areas where redevelopment is planned.

As part of the Hwy 99 Subarea Plan, staff recommends doing the same for that area. The first step is
adopting a resolution of intent to designate the Hwy 99 Subarea as a Residential Target Area for
implementation of the MFTE and schedule a public hearing on August 15. Following the public
hearing, a second resolution is required to designate. Minor code amendments will be required to add
the Hwy 99 Subarea. The intent is to have the Hwy 99 Subarea Plan, code provisions, transportation
revisions, EIS and the MFTE approved at one Council meeting. He recommended scheduling this as
an action on the July 18 Council agenda to inform the public of the public process. The Finance
Committee concurs with that recommendation.
Discussion followed regarding percentage of the subarea that is residential, uses allowed on Hwy 99,
MFTE incentivizing residential development, 12 -year exemption the Council approved requiring 20%
of units be in the affordable range and developers' interest in using MFTE in the Hwy 99 Subarea.
Action: Schedule resolution as action item on July 18 on full Council agenda.
5. Proposed Noise Ordinance
Mr. Williams reviewed revisions to the ordinance in response to Council input:
• More clearly referenced the criteria
• Developed a policy detailing criteria and method for granting a noise exemption
• Sample exemption application
He anticipated further exemptions for working at night will be needed for the 76t"/212t" project. The
committee requested at the conclusion of a project staff inform Council the number of night work
exemptions that were granted and any complaints that were received.
Action: Schedule as action item for full Council
The meeting was adjourned at 9:04 p.m.
