MOTION CARRIED. y CWC-HDR MONTHLY REPORT i Bud Benges, CWC-HDR, Inc., reported that the project is maintaining its schedule. He said, howev- er, there is concern that the contractor may not have addressed certain testing requirements * See Council Minutes of September 5, 1989 to meet the Phase I facilities schedule, but CWC-HDR is working with the contractor to insure that.the plant is operational by December 18, 1989. Mr. Benges said the contractor placed the superstructure walls to EL 30.00 at the raw sewage pumping station. Formwork and rebar placement continues for completion of the walls to £1 40.00. Staining of the concrete on the superstructure walls has occurred, and the contractor is currently working to solve that problem. The contractor started installation of process piping, metal hatches and plumbing in the station. Mr. Benges said excavation for the underground fuel storage tank is complete at the solids pro- cess building. All below grade walls are installed. The contractor has falsework and forming installed for placement of the suspended slab at El 22.50 in the building. Mr. Benges said all below grade walls are completed at the raw sludge pumping station. The con- tractor is continuing with the placement of concrete walls for primary clarifier no. 3. All below grade walls will be completed in August. Demolition is completed in the existing primary clarifier no. 2, and installation of the new process equipment has begun. Mr. Benges said the Phase II cutoff wall installation is complete for .this year. All work will continue following switchover of plant flows to the new Phase I facilities and excavation and demolition for Phase II begins. Mr. Benges noted that the contractor's claims of $8,500 and $28,000 for extra work regarding dewatering have been resolved in conjunction with a deductive change deleting shoring in the existing primary clarifier area. The net contract cost increase for the combined items is $10,500. The contractor's claim for extra work regarding the installation of the Phase Ii cutoff wall has been reviewed and returned to the contractor for clarification. Mr. Benges said the Edmonds wastewater meter station contract will be advertised for bid on Au- gust 24, 1989. Mr. Benges said change order no. 3 will be processed in the near future and includes the contrac- tor's dewatering issues and several miscellaneous small items. Mr. Benges said a public information meeting regarding the treatment plant construction is sched- uled for September 25, 1989 at the Edmonds Public Library Plaza Room. Mr. Benges noted that the project is 221 days into construction, which represents 19.2% of the total contract time. Pay estimate no. 7 for work performed from July 1, 1989 to July 31, 1989 was for $1,257,837. Total payments as of July 31, 1989 are $5,309,407, or 19.9% of the total contract amount. Councilmember Hall inquired how the public information meeting will be publicized. Community Services Director Peter Hahn said it will be publicized through a newsletter, which is mailed to both the residential and business community, and a notice will be .published in the newspaper. REVIEW SNO-ISLE LIBRARY CONTRACT Tom Mayer, Sno-Isle Director, said the Sno-Isle Library Board has made a policy change and has decided to fund the cost of all equipment and furnishings that are a direct result of changes in Sno-Isle policy rather than allocating those costs to the cities. He said, however, the cities will continue to be responsible for furnishings and equipment items that are associated with the provision of general library services. Councilmember Nordquist said he would be more comfortable if the contract was rewritten to in- clude that policy change. Councilmember Kasper inquired if the City will be assessed the cost for additional books and shelving if the Board decides to purchase them. Mr. Mayer said that would be a decision that would be made jointly by the Board and the City. Councilmember Jaech requested that the Council be provided with the Sno-Isle budget which shows the actual costs that are allocated to the Edmonds' library and how they are derived. Mr. Mayer explained that the amount of money that is budgeted for a particular library is based on the previous year's. experience. He said the Sno-Isle Library Board does not approve the budget for individual libraries...it is for the entire district. He said the detailing of the budget de- picts line items. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 2 AUGUST 22, 1989 Councilmember Hall inquired if the City will be assessed the cost for more shelving if additional books are purchased. Librarian Kathy Turner said the City is typically requested to fund the cost of shelving when the library is enlarged or a new building is constructed. She noted that 5% of the book collection is removed from the shelves on an annual basis to make room for new books. She said the book collection will be increased by 40% next year but there is room on the lower shelves for those books. Councilmember Hall inquired if Ms. Turner thought the cost associ- ated with the purchase of additional books should be borne by Sno-Isle. Ms. Turner said the contract states that costs associated with the building are to be borne by the City, but regard- less of which entity pays, the costs are paid by the taxpayers. Councilmember •Hall asked Mr. Mayer to request Sno-Isle to fund those costs in the future. Councilmember Kasper inquired if the City will be asked to fund the cost for shelving for addi- tional books which also serve the unincorporated areas. Ms. Turner noted that 121,144 people utilized the library last month from the incorporated area and 117,322 from the unincoporated areas, plus 4,000 people from reciprocal areas so the library is already serving more than the City of Edmonds. Mr. Mayer pointed out that the cities would provide library services for its citizenry even if they did not contract with the District. He said, however, the cities receive far more in enhanc- ed services than they pay in direct contract fees by contracting with the District. COUNCILMEMBER NOROQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, TO INSTRUCT THE CITY ATTORNEY TO REVISE THE CONTRACT FOR LIBRARY SERVICES AND INCLUDE THE LANGUAGE "THE LIBRARY DISTRICT WILL REPLACE THE EXISTING COMPUTER SYSTEM AND WILL PAY THE COST OF REWIRING THE LIBRARIES AND NECES- SARY FURNISHINGS, SUCH AS TABLES AND CHAIRS FOR ADDITIONAL COMPUTER TERMINALS. THE DISTRICT WILL PROVIDE THE NECESSARY FURNISHINGS AND EQUIPMENT FOR NEW STAFF HIRED AS A RESULT OF THE PASSAGE OF THE LEVY INCREASE IN FEBRUARY 1989. MOTION CARRIED. REFINEMENT OF PROPOSED SCOPE OF WORK FOR FERRY STUDY Community Services Director Peter Hahn said the purpose of the discussion was for the Council to approve the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that was included in their packets. He said it will serve as the basis for the scope of work for the State -funded study. The next step would be to issue a Request for Proposal to solicit interest from a consultant. Mr. Hahn said the issues to be resolved are: 1) content of study; 2) consultant selection pro- cess; 3) process of City review; 4) involvement of other city interests, i.e., the Planning Board, individual citizens; 5) technical oversight of the study; and 6) working relationship between the State and the City. Mr. Hahn said it is the recommendation of Staff that the consultant selection be done by the Council and that the State be made a participant, and to approve the MOU. Councilmember Hertrich said although he sat on the committee that reviewed the MOU, he was uncom- fortable with the draft and thought it should be revised to reflect the express desires of the City. He said some of the provisions in the draft encourages the study of alternatives that the City is opposed to (widened dock, a second slip, and overhead loading), and the City will, to a degree, lose control of the scope of the study. Councilmember Jaech thought the City's position should be very explicit in the MOU and should delineate the items that the City absolutely does not want to be considered. She said the citi- zenry does not want the downtown area or waterfront destroyed just to accommodate enormous growth in the ferry system. She said after reviewing the draft, she would rather not accept State fund- ing and would prefer to embark on the study independently of the State. Councilmember Jaech said she was not comfortable with the MOU because there are "too many prob- lems with it" and because "it will produce strings that will get pulled and the City won't be able to get out of them". Don Nutter, Department of Transportation, said approximately $3.5 million has been identified in the capital program for improvements to the ferry system in Edmonds. Fir. Nutter said the State has anticipated a growth increase in the system and would like to pro- ceed with the study to accommodate that growth. Mr. Nutter said although the State is interested in studying overhead loading, a wider dock and a second slip, those alternatives will not necessarily be included in the recommended alternatives. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 3 AUGUST 22, 1989 Councilmember Hertrich said he thought it would be impractical for the State to study those alter- natives when the Council has emphatically stated that they are unacceptable. Councilmember Nordquist inquired if the State's money can be used to mitigate impacts to the downtown area that result from an improved ferry system. Mr. Nutter replied affirmatively. Councilmember Jaech emphasized that the aesthetic quality of the waterfront can never be restored if the State is allowed to develop the system to maximum usage. She noted that several alterna- tives are available to expand the system in an area beyond the waterfront, i.e, purchasing the property adjacent to Alaska Publishing Co. to expand the holding lanes. She said the Council needs to know that the State is willing to explore alternatives that will not adversely impact Edmonds' waterfront. Mr. Nutter said expansion of the ferry system in an area beyond the waterfront is certainly an alternative that the State will consider. He said there are other alternatives, and the intent of the MOU is to involve the State and City in a joint study of those alternatives. He said the State will try to retain a consultant that is sensitive to the City's concerns. Councilmember Jaech inquired if the State would be amenable to an MOU that excluded the alterna- tives that the City is opposed to. Mr. Nutter said the State would have to draw the line at some point as to the elements that the State wants to study. Councilmember Jaech said there are cer- tain elements that the City is opposed to and does not want to waste time studying them. Councilmember Kasper said the issue of accommodating increased ferry traffic cannot be solved until a long-range plan is identified. Mr. Nutter said the State views the MOU as a long-range plan. He said alternative locations are under consideration, as well as development of the cur- rent facility to accommodate reasonable growth in a manner that is acceptable to the City. Mr. Nutter said the State has identified operational alternatives to structurally separate pedes- trians and vehicles and a design to minimize the visual impact of the facility as high -priority elements. He said the State would be satisfied if the consultant recommended that those elements not be included, but the State wants to know what the impacts would be if those elements are not implemented. Councilmember Hertrich said the MOU included alternatives that the Council is opposed to but worded them in a different fashion which, he said, is "an attempt to not be straightforward but to kind of smooth it over so the Council will accept it". Because Mr. Nutter indicated that the State wishes to at least study those alternatives and the Council is opposed to them, Councilmem- ber Hertrich said the City and State have reached an impasse. He felt, however, that the discus- sions were not a total loss because they have acted as an impetus for the City to engage in a study on its own. He said if the State wished to proceed with the study independently of the City, it could present the results to the City for its review Councilmember Wilson inquired if it was correct that the State had previously stated that it would not build a facility that the Edmonds' citizens were opposed to. Mr. Nutter replied affir- matively. Councilmember Wilson emphatically stated that the citizens of Edmonds do not want overhead loading, a widened dock, or a second slip as is proposed to be studied by the State in the MOU. He said the City is profoundly concerned with the impact on the quality of life in Edmonds that will be brought about by improvements to the ferry system. He said the City would be interested in accommodating ferry growth by increasing the number of ferry runs or increasing the rates to discourage use. Mr. Nutter said the charge of the State is to accommodate the traf- fic at the Edmonds ferry terminal. Councilmember Wilson asked why the State was interested in expanding the Edmonds terminal rather than other terminals. Mr. Nutter said the Edmonds route is an existing route and has been in every regional transportation plan and the route is growing. He said the State is trying to accommodate that growth in a reasonable and less threatening man- ner. Mr. Nutter said growth is inevitable and the impacts will only worsen if the increase is not addressed. Councilmember Jaech said she spoke with people in Olympia who related to her that the Edmonds terminal is one of the most profitable routes in the State,.and the Department of Transportation is interested in maximizing and increasing its profit from that system. She said if the State wishes to take advantage of that profitability, it must do so in a manner that cre- ates no adverse effects to the City. She said that can only be accomplished by utilizing smaller ferry boats and expanding the holding lanes somewhere other than on the waterfront. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, TO GRACIOUSLY REJECT THE STATE'S OFFER OF $100,000 FOR THE STUDY. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 4 AUGUST 22, 1989 Mayor Naughten urged the Council to work with the State in reaching an agreement. Councilmember Wilson shared the Mayor's viewpoint. He was optimistic that the State would be willing to revise the MOU so that it does not include the alternatives that the City is opposed to. Councilmember Dwyer thought the MOU, as written, should be rejected but that the City should wait for a reply from the Department of Transportation as to whether or not the exclusion of the alter- natives that the City is opposed to is acceptable to them. He believed that a solution that would be acceptable to the City would involve some sort of legislative action, and he wanted to avoid a perception that the City is intractable if it rejected the State's offer. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST WITHDREW THE MOTION. THE SECONDER AGREED. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, TO REJECT THE MOU AND REQUEST AN ANSWER FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION ON THE ALTERNATIVES THAT THE CITY IS OPPOSED TO. Councilmember Kasper said he was not willing to support an MOU unless a major alternative loca- tion study is conducted. He said it is imperative that such a study be conducted in order to solve future problems at the Edmonds' terminal. MOTION CARRIED. COUNCIL INPUT TO PRELIMINARY BUDGET Councilmember Hertrich recommended that money be set aside for the City to conduct a study of the ferry terminal based on an update of the waterfront comprehensive plan. Councilmember Hall inquired if Staff could conduct the study rather than hiring a consultant. Community Services Director Peter Hahn said Staff can produce an update of existing policies for urban design elements but does not have the expertise to create renderings that would, for exam- ple, depict view corridors that might be impacted. Councilmember Hall requested Staff to prepare the information that is available to them and that monies be set aside to hire an individual to conduct the remainder of the study. Mayor Naughten suggested that $70,000 be earmarked for the study. Councilmember Jaech suggested that money be allocated to hire an individual to draw a schematic of how the waterfront could be configured if the ferry terminal were relocated. She thought that scenario could provide a wonderful benefit to both the merchants and citizens of Edmonds. She said a schematic would assist the community in visualizing that concept. Councilmember Jaech said the schematic could also be presented to the Department of Transportation for its input and then, possibly, an agreement could be reached to engage in a joint study. Councilmember Jaech also suggested that Staff present a proposal to the Council to reduce the budget and which provides an incentive for departments to save money. Councilmember Hall forecasted a 25% increase in the City's assessment for Health District servic- es. She said a trial drug for A.I.D.S. has been discovered and will undoubtedly increase the District's budget. Councilmember Jaech suggested that $400,000 be earmarked to pursue joining the Library District. Councilmember Wilson said he would like a reasonable amount of money earmarked for the Council Contingency Fund. MAYOR Mayor Naughten said the City received a letter from the Chamber of Commerce thanking the City for its support in the Taste of Edmonds. Councilmember Jaech requested that the Council be provided with an accounting of the profit made from the Taste of Edmonds as well as the cost that the City incurred to assist the Chamber of Commerce. Councilmember Dwyer said he was told that fewer Edmonds' merchants are participating in the Taste of Edmonds. He thought that a community festival is better if there are more local merchants, but he was unsure what the City could do to accomplish that. Mayor Naughten noted that a meeting is scheduled to discuss the Taste of Edmonds event and he would address that issue at that time. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 5 AUGUST 22, 1989 Councilmember Jaech said nonresidents of Edmonds prefer the Taste of Edmonds to the Bite of Seat- tle because it is a smaller event, but they are not as enticed to attend in the future because it is getting larger. Because of a concern regarding hepatitis, Councilmember Jaech suggested that the people who work at the concession stands at the Taste of Edmonds do not handle both money and food because she said money is one of the biggest transmitters of the virus. She thought that only one person should serve food and another person should handle the money. Councilmember Hertrich recommended that sound absorbent material be installed at -,the Boys' Club or that the "Sound of Music" redirect the angle of the music because it is bouncing off the walls and disturbing the neighbors. Mayor Naughten said he would recommend approval of a liquor license to the State for Portofino Pizza and Spaghetti House if no objection was noted. Councilmember Jaech requested that Staff ascertain why a liquor license was for previous rejected that establishment before the City for- p'u warded its recommendation. Mayor Naughten said he wrote a letter to the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission stating that the City would like the train speed to be reduced from 40 to 30 mph through the City rather than increased. He said the City must file a petition in order for the Commission to consider a reduction of speed, and the City Attorney could prepare and file the petition at a cost between $500 to $1,000. COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO FILE THE PETITION. MOTION CARRIED. COUNCIL COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, TO REVIEW THE VACATION POLICY AS IT �L RELATES TO COMPENSATORY TIME TAKEN WITH VACATION TIME ON OCTOBER 24, 1989. MOTION CARRIED. With regard to last week's Consent Agenda Item (I), authorization to award bid to B & M contrac- tors for sewer installation on Highway 99, Councilmember Hertrich said he reconsidered the action taken on that item and felt that the City should receive more than one bid. He requested the Council to reconsider that item (having made the motion and voting on the prevailing side). Councilmember Hall noted that the bids were already let so the Council could not reconsider that item. Councilmember Wilson inquired when 196th Street will be opened. Community Services Director Peter Hahn replied approximately September 4, 1989. Councilmember Wilson urged the Council to amend the draft letter to the legislators of July 7, 1989 regarding the ferry. Councilmember Wilson commended Mr. Hahn for his efforts which led to receipt of a very large - grant for the Shell Creek project. Councilmember Wilson urged the Council to resolve the parking problem that residents are experi- encing on 2nd Avenue. CONTINUED DISCUSSION OF EXEMPT POSITIONS CLASSIFICATION The Council discussed page 7 of the exempt positions classification, Items A through L. C Councilmember Jaech recommended that changes in job descriptions, [Item (B)], be reviewed by the Council rather than Staff. With respect to Item (K), Personnel Manager Brent Hunter stated that there is one employee in the City who is earning more money than his supervisor. He said the problem can be resolved by estab- lishing a policy that supervisors' salaries be 5% higher than their subordinates. Councilmember Kasper believed that a subordinate should receive more compensation than his/her supervisor if he/she has been working with the City for a long period of time and the supervisor is a newly hired employee and has started at the low end of the range. Mayor Naughten said it did not make sense from a business standpoint for a supervisor to make less money than the people he/she super- vises. Councilmember Jaech pointed out that the supervisor will receive raises within the year and will be making more money than his subordinate. She noted that the Council has taken the position in the past that salaries will not be increased simply because incumbents are earning a higher salary, and they should not deviate from that policy. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 6 AUGUST 22, 1989 In response to a question by Councilmember Hall, Personnel Manager Brent Hunter explained that the supervisor was hired at the beginning of his salary range but the subordinate has been em- ployed with the City for a number of years and has topped out his salary range, which happens to be higher than the beginning salary of his supervisor. Mr. Hunter said the supervisor would have started at a higher rate of pay than his subordinates but it was an oversight on Staff's'behalf. Councilmember Dwyer agreed that a supervisor's salary should be higher than the subordinate's, and he recommended that a subordinate's maximum salary range not exceed the minimum supervisor's salary range by controlling the salary ranges. Councilmember Jaech said an overlap in salary ranges occurs in every organization. Councilmember Kasper recommended that the last two sentences of Item (B) be deleted. Councilmem- ber Jaech suggested that a provision be included for review on a quarterly basis of those job descriptions coming up for review, and the Council be presented with the report. Councilmember Kasper recommended that the words "merit pay" be deleted from Item (G) and replaced with the words "proficiency and performance" and the word "shall" be changed to "may". The meeting adjourned at 9:50 p.m. THESE MINUTES ARE SUBJECT TO SEPTEMBER 5, 1989 APPROVAL. JA UELINE G. PARRETT, City Clerk LARRY S.
