RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE MAYOR TO EXECUTE REAL ESTATE PURCHASE CONTRACT AGREEMENT (Item I on the Consent Agenda -- --"— Council President. Palmer said he was asked by the City Clerk to pull this item in light of infor- mation recently put into Council packets regarding this item. Council President Palmer said the Council may want to take a few minutes to review the materials. COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECOND- ED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, TO RECESS FOR FOUR MINUTES TO ALLOW COUNCILMEMBERS TIME TO READ MATERIALS RELATING TO ITEM (I). MOTION CARRIED. The Council recessed at 7:04 p.m., and reconvened at 7:08 p.m. Lee Vorhees, of Foster, Pepper &. Shefelman, referenced the packet of information recently distrib- uted to the Mayor and Council. Mr. Vorhees said City Attorney John Wallace indicated he wanted to close the transaction as soon as possible, and the sellers wanted to have a legal opinion from Foster, Pepper & Shefelman to the effect that the interest on the installments paid under the contract would be exempt from Federal income taxes and that the contract is valid and authorized. As Mr. Wallace indicated he wanted to close the transaction the following day, it seemed a good time to bring the resolution before the Council this evening. Mr. Vorhees referenced the Legal Opinion from Foster, Pepper & Shefelman, which states the Real Estate Contract has been executed pursuant to the laws of the State of Washington for the purpose of acquiring certain real property for open space and park purposes. Councilmember Hall said he wanted to make sure the Contract will contain language stating the buildings currently on site will be left on site. City Attorney Scott Snyder concurred. Council President Palmer announced to members of the audience that the property the City has just purchased is better known as the "Anderson Marine" property located immediately south of the Edmonds Ferry Terminal. Council President Palmer said the City has been working for quite some time to acquire this property so it may be be used for public use. Council President Palmer said this reflects the long standing commitment of the Council to obtain waterfront property to be used for park purposes, and said it will greatly benefit the Citizens of Edmonds and enhance the Edmonds' waterfront. COUNCIL PRESIDENT PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO APPROVE RESOLUTION #755, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON, APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF A REAL ESTATE PURCHASE CONTRACT AGREEMENT TO AC- QUIRE PROPERTY FOR OPEN SPACE. MOTION CARRIED. ' REPORT BY COMMUNITY TRANSIT ON TRANSPORTATION ISSUES Community Transit Representative for the City of Edmonds, Councilmember Earling, introduced Ray Lloyd of Community Transit. Councilmember Earling said Mr. Lloyd is not here as an advocate for any particular program, but is here as Community Transit's lead legislative person for Community Mayor Hall recognized Mayor Roger Bergh of Mountlake Terrace in the audience, and welcomed him to the Council Meeting. Mr. Lloyd distributed booklets to the Mayor and Council entitled " Regional Transit System Draft Plan" and reviewed the booklet with the Mayor and Council. Mr. Lloyd said the Draft Plan address- es the needs for Snohomish County which tries to maintain Snohomish County's control over their own destiny. Mr. Lloyd said a final System Plan will be presented to the County Councils in Febru- ary, and by April of 1993, the Snohomish County Council will decide whether Snohomish County will opt into our out of the System Plan. Mr. Lloyd said if the County Council decides to opt in, in the Fall of 1993, the citizens within the entire regional transit department boundary will cast a vote. If the voters of Snohomish County say no, but are overwhelmed by voters of Pierce County, Snohomish County would be in. Conversely, if Snohomish County opts out, a good opportunity could be missed. Mr. Lloyd said it is estimated that Community Transit, over a 20 year time period, will grow from 190 busses to approximately 350 busses. If the project goes through, that number will escalate to approximately 500 busses. Mr. Lloyd discussed the specificd of the Regional Transit System Draft Plan with the Mayor and Council. Councilmember Kasper expressed concern that there seems to be a lot of things that will not be available to the voter including tax structures. Councilmember Nordquist said he invited Mountlake Terrace Mayor Roger Bergh to the meeting, and asked Mayor Bergh if he would like to step forward to give his views on the topic. CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 2 December 8, 1992 Mountlake Terrace Mayor Bergh, 21717 48th Ave. West, Mountlake Terrace, said he also represents the City of Edmonds, as well as the other 17 cities in Snohomish County on the Puget Sound Region- al Council. Mayor Berg said the City ❑f Mountlake Terrace reviewed the alternatives listed in the Draft Plan and opted not to support the I-5 alignment. Assuming the high capacity transit does come up I-5 as far as Northgate, Mayor Berg said he wants to take a serious look at having it swing over Roosevelt Way to Highway 99 at approximately 145th and continue up Highway 99 until it gets to approximately to 220th. At this point, Mayor Berg said the City of Mountlake Terrace may want to put a stop station there which would traverse over to Lynnwood's Park and Ride lot. Mayor Berg made it clear that n❑ one in the City of Mountlake Terrace would like to see the Interurban used south of 220th, and said he feels the City of Edmonds shares the same view. Mayor Bergh said he thinks the two cities could work at and benefit from a Highway 99 alignment. Council President Palmer asked Mayor Bergh if one of the reasons why the City of Mountlake Ter- race does not support an I-5 alignment is because of the density requirements that would have to be in place around the stations. Mayor Bergh said it is a combination of many reasons and said it seems to him that Snohomish County should determine where density is going to be first and put transit there, but said that is not being done. h Councilmember Earling said the reason he invited Mr. Lloyd to the meeting is to update the Mayor and Council on transportation issues. Councilmember Earling said he would like to to receive direction from the Council as to their desires regarding the projects. Councilmember Earling referenced the letter he sent to the JRCP which addressed the City's displeasure of using the Interurban. Mr. Lloyd noted the process is moving ahead rather quickly without some of the basic information being included. Mr. Lloyd sais much more information will be coming forward which will be shared with cities throughout Snohomish County. Councilmember Dwyer asked if the configuration that shows the project on Highway 99 would be more likely to increase or decrease tax configurations on Highway 99. Mr. Lloyd said that his experi- ence shows it be an initial negative impact, however, noted in the long run it would probably prove positive. PROPOSED ORDINANCE ISSUING WATER AND SEWER REVENUE BONDS FOR UPGRADINGIEXPANDING THE SYSTEM, AND COST OF THE PUBLIC WORKS MAINTENANCE FACILITY Item 3 on the Agenda COUNCIL PRESIDENT PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, TO COMBINE ITEMS 3, 4, and 5. MOTION CARRIED. PROPOSED ORDINANCE ORDINANCE ISSUING WATER AND SEWER REVENUE BONDS FOR UPGRADINGIEXPANDING THE SYSTEM, AND COST OF THE PUBLIC WORKS MAINTENANCE FACILITY Item 4 on the Agenda). PROPOSED ORDINANCE REFUNDING EXISTING WATER AND SEWER REVENUE BONDS Item 5 on the A enda Art Housler, Administrative Services Director, said Dick Ehlers, Vice President of Seattle North- west Securities will present the offer to purchase the bonds and explain the justification of the offer. Mr. Housler said Bob Yeasting of Yeastings and Associates, will provide his recommendation i 1 on whether to accept or reject the offer. Lee Vorhees, of Foster, Pepper & Shefelman will provide L' the completed ordinance for Council approval, if accepted. Dick Ehlers distributed a letter to Mayor and Councilmembers which contained information on the Bonds. Mr. Ehlers said he has completed the rating and marketing process for the bond issues. Mr. Ehlers said the issues will raise new capital to acquire or construct a Public Works facility and make a required payment to Lynnwood for capacity in their wastewater treatment facility. The Water and Sewer bonds will also refund callable 1983 and 1988 Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds in order to obtain interest savings. Mr. Ehlers reported the General Obligation Bonds have a Bond Rating of Al and the Revenue Bonds have a rating of "A". As a result of the City issuing the bonds, the City will be able to save $640,732 in Future Value Savings, $466,591 in Present Value Savings, and 5.18% Present Value as percentage of bonds refunded. Mr. Ehlers noted the average annual savings from 1993 - 2000 is $43,210 and $32,178 from 2001 - 2008. Bob Yeastings, of Yeasting & Hughes Associates, said the municipal bond market has processed more bonds in the first 11 months of 1992 than in any previous full year. Mr. Yeastings distributed materials to the Council which contained information including comparison of recent bonds sales from other Cities, a Water and Sewer District, and a School District. CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 3 December 8, 1992 Regarding the Limited Tax General Obligation Bonds, Mr. Yeastings said the G.O. issue has been established with approximately equal annual debt payments over 20 years. This will provide a reasonably low annual payment burden at a relatively low interest rate. Regarding the Water & Sewer Revenue and Refunding Bonds, Mr. Yeastings said the combined refund- ing and the $3,505,000 new money issue has been split into two parts, with one part to be closed in 1992, and the other in 1993 which will keep the City's total debt issuance in each year below the $10,000,000 threshold established by the U.S. Treasury for making these bonds "bank quali- fied", with a resulting lower interest rate. Mr. Yeasting said the lower interest rate is criti- cal in bringing the refunding savings up to an acceptable level. The new money portion of this issue, for the Lynnwood Treatment Plant and Public Works Building, has been set to mature with level debt payments over a 20 year period. The refunding portion has been established to provide approximately equal annual savings of about $38,000 over the remain- ing 16 year lift of the 1988 bonds. Mr. Yeastings recommended the City accept the purchase offer of Seattle Northwest Securities for the purchase of these Bonds. Mr. Yeasting said in his opinion, they have done an excellent job of bringing this issue to market. Councilmember Petruzzi reiterated the fact that the City, thus the taxpayers, will be saving an approximate $43,210 in average annual savings and as a result of the refunding, amounts to $466,591 in Present Value Savings, and $640,000 Future Value Savings.

At 8:36 a.m, the Mayor and Council recessed for a ten minute break and reconvened in Council Chambers at 8:46 p.m. WORK SESSION ON 1993 BUDGET Mayor Hall said Council President Palmer will: be conducting the Budget Work Session. Council President Palmer noted the Council has now received a Revised Preliminary 1993 Budget, and discussion amongst Councilmembers regarding the Revised Preliminary Budget proceeded. 1, �t k" Councilmember Dwyer suggested that the Council establish priority for the 1993: 1) What services in the budget does the Council feel to be more important than others, and 2) Councilmember Dwyer Y said the Council has never discussed the amount of reserves that the Council would like to have in the budget in terms of a percentage, and feels that should be discussed. Councilmember Dwyer said these two items are especially important in light of the Council's direction to revise the 1993 Preliminary Budget using a $12.7 million projected revenue figures versus the $13.381 pro- jected revenue figure first presented by the Mayor. Councilmember Dwyer suggested the Council alter the description of Fund 006, which is the Emergen- cy Financial Fund to delete the references to Federal Funding being decreased. Councilmember Dwyer said this was originally put in when revenue sharing was disappearing, and should now be changed. Councilmember Dywer said he would prefer the description of the fund to state that it is a true reserve fund, a fund that if the City finds itself in an economic emergency as a result of revenues that do not come in as projected. Councilmember Dwyer said he would like to see the Council Contingency Fund treated as a true Contingency Fund, and less of a reserve fund. Council - member Dwyer said he would like these two funds equal a level of 7% of the General Fund Budget, with 4% being in the 006 Financial Reserve Fund and 3% in the Council Contingency Fund. Councilmember Kasper asked Councilmember Dwyer what the basis of the 7% split between the two funds is. Councilmember Dwyer said it is his desire to have more of a reserve in the Council Contingency Fund, however it could be split in a different way, just so the Contingency Fund had a greater share of the percentage. CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 4 December 8, 1992 Councilmember Hall asked what the effect of Councilmember Dryer's proposal would have on the balance of the two funds. Councilmember Dwyer said it would increase the amount that is there by $130,000 to $140,000. Councilmember Hall said he is opposed to increasing the City's reserve funds at the expense of City services. Councilmember Petruzzi said he concerned that the Mayor's Revised Preliminary Budget came back to the Council with recommendations to completely dissolve the Volunteer Firefighter program, as well as reduce the Fire Equipment Reserve Fund. Councilmember Petruzzi said he could not support reductions in these areas. Councilmember Petruzzi said the Volunteer Firefighters provide a great service to the City at minimal cost, and noted if the City does not put money in the Fire Equip- ment Reserve Fund, the City will have many problems in the future. Councilmember Petruzzi said he would like to see the Council put $50,000 int❑ the Fire Equipment Reserve Fund, as well as restor- ing the Volunteer Firefighter program. Councilmember Earling said he would like to hear more on Councilmember Dwyer`s proposal to in- creased the reserves t❑ 7%. Councilmember Dwyer said if the City has money that is available to be held in reserves in the General Fund, and thus have more flexibility with the money, that is where the money should be rather than being held in an earmarked fund. Councilmember Dwyer said on the other hand, if there is a restricted fund, such as Fund Ill that has an anticipated ending cash balance of over $300,000, there is n❑ reason to transfer $210,000 General Fund monies into that Fund simply to increase the cash balance. Councilmember Dwyer said the Council has to ascertain whether the transfer should take place at all, and what the City should do with the approximate $100,000 of money in the Ill Fund that is neither restricted and is General Fund money capable of being backed out and held in General Fund Reserves rather than the 111 Fund, Councilmember Dwyer said if the Council is willing to rethink the policy of simply placing money in the 111 Fund when there are no plans to spend it, then there is quite a bit the Council can do in terms of restoring programs or personnel cuts that were recommended in the Revised Preliminary Budget. Council President Palmer said before the Council discusses where the money should lie, he would like to redirect the discussion back to what the Council wants to see in the 1993 Budget. Councilmember Kasper said the former Community Services Director must have had specific reasons for the transfers to the 111 Fund and feels the fund should not be stripped down. Councilmember Kasper said there are many street projects that need to be accomplished. Councilmember Earling said it concerns him that over the last few years, the City has used approx- imately $800,000 in cash to balance the budget. Councilmember Earling said at some point, the City has got to admit that by drawing a revenue line higher, the City doesn't get more cash. Councilmember Earling said the City has to generate more revenue if it is going to continue to spend more money. Councilmember Nordquist said when revenues increase, money is not returned to where it was origi- nally taken from during bad economic times. Councilmember Nordquist said it is fine if the City wants to use certain funds during economic difficulties, however, stated a mechanism needs to be in place whereby those funds will be be built up again. Council President Palmer said a problem over the past few years is that projected revenues and expenditures have not always been realistic. Council President Palmer referenced the 1991 Pro- posed Budget and what was recommended as a projected revenue figure. At that time, the Council didn't accept it and reduced the budget by $365,000. In 1992, the Budget was reduced by the City Council by approximately $1 million dollars. Council President Palmer said if that had not been done, the City would be in a terrible financial situation. Council President Palmer said the Council has historically been good at projecting actual revenues. Council President Palmer said the Council sent back the 1993 Preliminary Budget because the Coun- cil did not accept the projected revenue figure. Council President Palmer said when the revised Preliminary Budget came back to the Council from the Administration utilizing the $12.7 million projected revenue figure mandated by the Council, across the board cuts of 6% were recommended by the Administration. Council President Palmer said he does not agree with this as the best philoso- phy to use when making cuts throughout the City, as it assumes parity from the start and may not be fair from department to department. Council President Palmer said the Preliminary Budget nor the revised Preliminary Budget included monies for Community Requests. Council President Palmer said there was also no money designated to implement the Americans with Disability Act. Council President Palmer said when the last revision to the Budget came from the Administration, it recom- mended that items such as the Volunteer Firefighter Program and Police Cadets be eliminated. Council President Palmer said as these were the priorities of the Mayor and her Administration through their budgetary process, the Council now needs to focus on its own priorities. Council President Palmer agrees with Councilmember Petruzzi that the Volunteer Firefighter pro- gram should not be abolished. CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 5 December 8, 1992 Mayor Hall referenced a petition to Edmonds City Council from many Edmonds citizens asking for restoration of the Volunteer Firefighters, as well as restoring Fire Equipment Reserves and Po- lice Reserves. `l.`tt r As Councilmembers agreed that the Volunteer Firefighter program should be restored, COUNCILMEMBER 4`'`i�b4L� PETRUZZI MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO FULLY FUND THE VOLUNTEER FIRE FIGHTER PROGRAM IN THE AMOUNT OF $17,600.
