MOTION CARRIED. CWC-HDR MONTHLY REPORT .JA" "t- Bud Benges, CWC-HDR, reported that the raw sewage pumping station must be operational by December 18, 1989. The roof members are in place and installation of the bar screens and screenings con- veyor is in progress. Work continues on installation of mechanical and electrical equipment it the station. Construction of the influent sewers and utilities on Alder Street and Second Avenue continues. The exterior and interior walls on the upper level of the solids process building are near comple- tion. . The belt filter presses are in place and work continues on installation of piping and equipment bases in the lower level of the building. Rehabilitation of existing Primary Clarifier No. 2 is now complete and final adjustment of equip- ment is ongoing. Installation of sludge collection mechanisms in Primary Clarifier No. 3 are complete and erection of the metal weir troughs are near completion. Process piping and raw sludge pumps are installed in the raw sludge pumping room. The contractor's claim for extra work regarding installation of the Phase II shoring cutoff wall has been negotiated from approximately $112,000 to $80,853 with the contingency that all costs can be verified by an independent audit. Change Order No. 3 has been executed. The total amount of Change Order No. 3 equals $23,841 and includes the contractor's dewatering issues and miscellaneous items. Bids were received on the Edmonds wastewater meter station contract on September 26, 1989. Award of the contract to Lakevue Construction Inc. for $363,932 has been made contingent upon EPA and Washington D.O.E. approval. Construction of the new outfall pipeline continues. Installation of the new diffuser section and extension of the existing diffuser will be completed in early November. Mr. Benges noted that the City's legal counsel, Bob Gunther, has recommended that the City accept the offer to reduce the claim to $80,853 with the contingency that all costs can be verified by an audit. Mr. Benges explained that the contractor encountered obstructions while an auger was drilling 55 feet down for an underground barrier. The contractor claims that the obstruction is a changed condition and has delayed progress and extended the use of equipment and time for labor. Councilmember Hertrich inquired what the obstructions were. Mr. Benges said there were buried structures from previous plant construction, one fairly large boulder, and obstacles that were not identified during previous testing. Councilmember Hertrich inquired if the City had made any guarantees that that portion of the ground on which the contractor encountered obstacles was obstruction free. Mr. Benges said the contractor claims that the obstacles that were encountered were not identified in the borings that were conducted during the pre -design and design phase of the project. Councilmember Hall inquired if the contractor performed the borings. Mr. Benges replied negative- ly. He said the contractor based the bid on the documentation that the City provided in the bidding documents. Councilmember Hall said she was having difficulty accepting the claim because the contractor promised to do the job. Mr. Benges said the issue is not black and white and is a judgement call for the City to make. He said the dispute will be adjudicated by a third party if the City and contractor cannot reach a compromise. In response to a question by Councilmember Hall, City Attorney Scott Snyder said the contract has an arbitration clause to resolve unsettled disputes. Councilmember Kasper inquired if the borings were conducted in the.area where the contract has encountered obstacles. Mr. Benges replied negatively. Mr. Snyder advised the Council to not discuss the details of the advice by the City's legal coun- sel, Bob Gunther. Councilmember Dwyer suggested that the Council adjourn to an executive session if a decision has to be rendered immediately or schedule an executive session in the near future if the decision can be delayed. Mr. Benges said there is no urgency associated with the change order, in his opinion. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 2 OCTOBER 24, 1989 City Engineer Bob Alberts said he spoke with Mr. Gunther and after reviewing the documentation, Mr. Gunther recommended that an audit be conducted in order to verify the costs of the claim. Mr. Alberts pointed out that the Council had previously asked what would constitute a change order, and he told them that subsurface conditions that were different than what the contractor bid the project would constitute a change order. COUNCILMEMBER HALL MOVED TO AUTHORIZE STAFF TO RETAIN AN ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE AUDIT, WITH A CAP OF $6,000, AND ANY UNEXPENDED FUNDS SHOULD BE RETURNED TO THE SOURCE THEY EMANATED FROM. MOTION FAILED FOR LACK OF A SECOND. In response to a comment by Councilmember Hall, Mr. Snyder said the City has received an offer to cap the amount of the claim and if the City does not accept the claim, a risk will be taken of conducting the audit and finding evidence that would justify the contractor's claim in excess of $80,853. COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH MOVED, SECONDED FOR DISCUSSION BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO APPROVE THE CAP OF $80,853 AND, ONCE THE NEGOTIATIONS ARE COMPLETE, THAT THE AUDIT BE DONE IN ORDER TO ACCOUNT FOR THE ACTUAL FIGURES. In order to allow another motion to be made, COUNCILMEMBER HALL WITHDREW THE SECOND TO THE MOTION. Councilmember Dwyer said the Council does not have any information on what the City's position or the claimant's position was before the counter offer, and he felt that issue should not be dis- cussed in an open session. COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WILSON, TO STOP TALKING ABOUT THE ISSUE. MOTION CARRIED. COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, TO SCHEDULE AN EXECUTIVE SESSION PRIOR TO THE COMMITTEE MEETING ON NOVEMBER 14, 1989. MOTION CARRIED. PSCOG REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY ALTERNATIVES PS GO`' Community Services Director Peter Hahn introduced PSCOG staff, Grace Byrne. Ms. Byrne said the central Puget Sound region's population is expected to grow to four million, an increase of 60%. She noted that the population has increased over the last 30 years by 67%. Ms. Byrne reported that the PSCOG is .reviewing the population and economic growth in the four - county region and is identifying a 30 year development strategy with a supporting transportation plan. She said the PSCOG is looking for a decision to be made in October of 1990. Ms. Byrne said in one vision of the future, the majority of new jobs would be in the regions's major centers --Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma, and Everett. New residences would be clustered nearby or near transit centers. This requires higher density housing --apartments and townhouses rather than single-family housing. At the opposite end of the scale, dispersed growth assumes that many of the new jobs will be outside urban centers in dispersed suburban and rural areas. New resi- dences will be predominantly single-family houses on suburban lots. In the middle range, jobs and houses would be in multiple centers throughout the urban area but not in rural area. Ms. Byrne said the type and location of new development influence what types of transportation investments we should make. Reducing fares on transit, increasing service to make buses more convenient, and charging more for parking would help entice people from their cars. Buses and trains are efficient and practical alternatives to the car if development is clustered but they would not help people :get to work if employment and housing are spread out. Mr. Byrne reviewed alternatives of growth management strategies and a transportation network as follows: BASELINE - a compilation of the existing city and County comprehensive or land use plans in the region with a forecast of how those will be developed within the next 30 years. Higher popula- tion densities will be served with a combination of existing freeway systems, with the emphasis on the development of HOV lanes (high occupancy vehicle) and a rail system and some passenger ferry improvements in downtown Seattle. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 3 OCTOBER 24, 1989 GROWTH CONCENTRATION IN MAJOR CENTERS WITH -A HIGH TRANSIT INVESTMENT - under this scenario, most of the new jobs in the central Puget Sound region will be in major employment centers. Many new apartments, condominiums and townhouses will be built near the job centers or in areas close to the new rail system. Rail will connect the employment centers with each other and with residen- tial areas. Many miles of HOV lanes will be added or improved; car pooling and riding the bus will be faster than driving alone. Some road improvements will be made. GROWTH CONCENTRATED IN MULTIPLE CENTERS WITH A RELATIVELY HIGH INVESTMENT IN TRANSIT AND A LOW TO MODERATE INVESTMENT IN HIGHWAYS - development within multiple employment centers are designed for pedestrian accessibility --buildings are tall and close together to afford transit riders easy access. DISPERSED GROWTH WITH A HIGH INVESTMENT IN ROADS AND LESS INVESTMENT IN TRANSIT - new development will take the form of office parks and shopping malls with large parking lots and large tracts of single-family housing developments. Most of the money will be invested in the region's road- ways. Some transit improvements will be made, with an emphasis on promoting ridership but it will be difficult for people to take transit because housing is so spread out. Because most work, services and shopping are also far apart, most people will rely on their automobiles. Councilmember Hertrich inquired if high density housing is envisioned in the Baseline alternative for Everett. Ms. Byrne said higher density housing is envisioned adjacent to the major transit lines. Councilmember Hall inquired where the boundaries of automobile dispersement would stop. Ms. Byrne said there probably would be no boundary. Councilmember Hall said that philosophy bothered her. She expressed concern, also, that the ferry system is not envisioned to be utilized to a greater extent. Ms. Byrne said the development of an EIS has begun and a full evaluation of any of the alternatives has not been conducted yet. She said issues of auto dependency and water transit modes will be studied. Mayor Naughten recalled that a decision had been made that rail or mass transit or a combination would be the most efficient method of addressing transportation problems in the future. He in- quired, then, why an alternative which promotes an inefficient system, i.e., expanded use of the automobile, is under consideration. Ms. Byrne said a land use form which supports a rail system, i.e., major centers or multiple centers, would increase its efficiency. She noted, however, that a rail system alone will not solve transportation problems. She said if there is a solution, it will be a combination of investments in rail and in other forms of transit. Ms. Byrne said one of the public involvement processes that PSCOG conducted revealed that 45% of the respondents to a questionnaire favored multiple centers with a transit emphasis; 27% favored major centers and a transit emphasis; 10% favored multiple centers with an automobile emphasis; and 10% favored dispersed growth with an automobile emphasis. Ms. Byrne said the initial environmental review focus areas will entail identifying: the impact of growth management strategy on affordability of houses; the effect on travel behavior; the effect on rate of growth; the effect on rural areas and open space, and changes in neighborhood character; and transportation system performance. Councilmember Hertrich inquired what characteristics identify a major center or multiple center. Ms. Byrne said some of the initial studies indicate that a center has the ability to run a fixed route bus service into a transit center; fixed route busses would be in operation; mixed uses of businesses would exist (office space, restaurants, banking services, etc.); the size of the cen- ter would have approximately 12,000 to 15,000 employees in outlying areas and approximately 30,000 employees in King County. Councilmember Hertrich inquired if building height limits have been discussed. Ms. --Byrne replied negatively. Councilmember Hertrich noted that height limita- tions affect density .and, in turn, the success or failure of a transit system. Ms. Byrne said the alternatives would be a variation from local plans. In response to a request by Councilmember Hertrich, Ms. Byrne said Issue #7 of the Pierce Report called for the development of master planned communities in outlying rural areas with a transit connection to the existing urban area with control of land in the outlying center so it could only be used for open space or an agricultural or forestry use. She said King County has asked that those outlying centers be included in the definition of multiple centers. She said Snohomish County staff recommended that an analysis be conducted of the impact of local roads under each of the alternatives. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 4 OCTOBER 24, 1989 Councilmember Dwyer stated that it appeared that it would be necessary for all local governments in the region to divest themselves of their ability to exercise local land use control or, in the alternative, to unanimously opt into whatever system is devised. He inquired if that has oc- curred; if not, he inquired if that should happen before any more money is expended perfecting a model that will never be more than a model. Ms. Byrne said the general philosophy of PSCOG has been that a common vision must be defined before the regional agencies can agree amongst them- selves. Councilmember Dwyer believed that the issue should be answered before further steps are taken. Ms. Byrne said PSCOG is requesting all of the governments who are members of PSCOG to agree to proceed with the EIS and to study the alternatives. Councilmember Dwyer inquired about the cost of the project to date and the total cost of the next step on a region -wide basis. Ms. Byrne said although those figures have been factored into the PSCOG budget, she did not know them offhand. Councilmember Kasper felt the public should be apprised of the land use system that will be neces- sary to support a rail system before any further action is taken. Councilmember Hertrich inquired if any cost comparisons and efficiency studies were conducted for dedicating lanes exclusively for buses rather than rail, and whether that type of system would be practical on the I-5 corridor. Ms. Byrne.said earlier studies in the north corridor alternatives analysis looked at exclusive bus ways versus rail and concluded that the life cycle cost .was roughly the same. The Council thanked Ms. Byrne for her presentation. The meeting recessed at 8:35 p.m.'and reconvened at 8:42 p.m. PRESENTATION OF COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARD TO DOLORES UHLMAN C641 Mayor Naughten stated that the Community Services Award was established several years ago to recognize individuals or organizations who make a significant contribution to the quality of life in Edmonds. Mayor Naughten presented the Community Services Award to Dolores Uhlman, present Sister City Commissioner and past President of the Edmonds Sister City Committee. He said she served as President of the Committee for three years and was responsible for .the initial contacts made to our Sister City, Hekinan, Japan, and played a major role in the formal establishment of the Edmonds Sister City Commission. She has coordinated a number of exchanges between the two cit- ies, including those of elected officials, citizens, teachers, students and artists. Her perse- verance and diplomacy have contributed greatly to the harmonious and productive relationship that now exists between the two cities. Mayor Naughten said the quality of life in Edmonds has been truly enhanced through her efforts. Ms. Uhlman was honored to receive the award. She thanked the City Council for promoting and supporting the efforts that the Sister City Committee and Commission have made. She also thanked all of the people who were involved in promoting the Sister City Program. SISTER CITY COMMISSION UPDATE/SCULPTOR PRESENTATION Dolores Uhlman, Sister City Commissioner, said seven city assemblymen and three staff members from the mayor's office of the City of Hekinan, Japan, will be in Edmonds in January. In July, Hekinan will send some works of art to the Edmonds Art Festival. And in August, Hekinan will send a delegation of approximately twenty-five to help the City celebrate its Centennial. Ms. Uhlman noted that Mary Metcalf, assistant teacher, is in Hekinan at the present time to ful- fill a year's contract. Ms. Uhlman said at the request of Hekinan, two Edmonds artists, Karen Stocker and Elizabeth McDowell, were sent to Hekinan at the expense of the Hekinan government to help celebrate their 15th art symposium. Ms. Uhlman introduced Karen Stocker. Ms. Stocker said she was unsure whether she could accept the invitation to Japan when she first learned of it because she could not leave her young daughter for seven weeks, but Hekinan invited her and her daughter to visit Japan at their expense. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 5 OCTOBER 24, 1989 Ms. Stocker said Hekinan declared itself the "City of Sculptures" fifteen years ago. She said six emerging or young sculptors were selected to create the art piece. She said she was so im- pressed that a government with so much wealth would chose to spend its money on artists. She said Japan's government is very powerful yet very child -like in heart in that the Japanese people love children and culture and art. Ms. Stocker said the sculptor site in Hekinan was a vacant lot in an industrial area, and canvas - roofed tents were set up for the sculptors. She said the weather was hot, but it was very windy and there were five typhoons while she was there. Ms. Stocker said she set up a sand pile in front of her tent, hoping to attract the children, which it did. She observed them at play, and it was then that the idea for the pose of her sculp- ture came to her. Ms. Stocker said she thought participation of the children of Edmonds and the children of Hekinan in making the tiles for her sculpture would make the sculpture very special. She noted that 500 people had a hand creating the sculpture (200 children from Edmonds, 200 chil- dren from Hekinan, and at least 100 assorted adults). She circulated a tile that was made by a Japanese child, as well as photos of her work experience in Japan. Ms. Stocker said a Japanese man visited the sculpture site every day and brought tea, and many other Japanese people would visit and bring food. Ms. Stocker said she watched a mechanical doll operated by five respected professional men per- form during a ceremony. She said the men believed their work with the doll was just as important as their professional work, which reminded her not to get so carried away with her professional- ism. Ms. Stocker related other stories of her stay in Japan. Ms. Stocker said because the people in Japan were so generous, she asked the man who was in charge of the project how she could thank everyone, and he asked her to tell the people in Edmonds what it was like in Hekinan. Ms. Stocker said she was interested in working with the City to reciprocate Hekinan's generosity and hospitality. Ms. Stocker thanked the City for the wonderful experience that she and her daughter had in Ja- pan. She said the Sister City Program is full of heart and the City should feel wonderful for supporting it. Ms. Stocker circulated a set of mini photo albums that the headmaster of the junior high school in Hekinan made for her. Ms. Uhlman said the Mayor of Hekinan, Mr. Kobayashi, said he hoped the student exchange program will .always exist because Japan enjoys sending their students to the U.S. and has waited so long for the U.S. to send its students to Japan. EDMONDS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE 1990 BUDGET REQUEST �!Joan Longstaff, President of the Edmonds Chamber of Commerce, said the Chamber has grown in size Of over the last few years. She said the Chamber strives to maintain an organizational structure that will be ongoing from year to year which allows future planning and continuation of many projects. Ms. Longstaff introduced the members of the Executive Committee: Stan Dickison; Bill McLoughlin, Treasurer; Gail Lindahl, Secretary; and Doug DeWar, 1990 Chamber President. Mr. DeWar stated that the Chamber is a definite supporter of the the Centennial celebration but has not requested funding from the City for Centennial projects. He clarified that the Chamber is not competing with -other groups in the City for the same pool of City funds. Mr. DeWar said the Chamber of Commerce is responsible for coordinating a large number of activi- ties in Edmonds which benefit not only the business community but the government sector and the general public as well. The most visible part of the Chamber is the Visitor Information Center, which is staffed by the Chamber's only paid employee and many chamber volunteers. The great majority of the Chamber's activities are accomplished through volunteer efforts. Mr. DeWar said several Chambers -of Commerce in the area have already made arrangements with local government to receive Hotel/Motel Tax revenues to help offset the costs of running their tourist information centers and other tourism and community -related activities. He said the EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 6 OCTOBER 24, 1989 Edmonds Chamber of Commerce has been fortunate in the past to have had some presidents who were able to devote substantial amounts of their time to administering the Chamber's many and varied activities, but it is not realistic to expect that volunteer officers and directors alone will be able to continue in that mode in the future. He said a paid staff person is needed to provide more continuity and enable the Chamber to continue the services it already provides to the commu- nity. In addition, office space is needed to house that individual and also be a place to con- duct Chamber business. Mr: DeWar said the Chamber of Commerce Community Services Director could work with the City in the important area of economic development. He said that person will solic- it more memberships in the Chamber and attract new businesses to Edmonds. Mr. DeWar reviewed the Chamber of Commerce's preliminary 1990 budget and requested $30,000 from the City for the paid staff person and office space. Mr. DeWar said the Tourist Information Center will continue to exist, but he hopes to have a secondary office to house the Chamber manager and the Chamber's Community Services Director. Mayor Naughten said it is customary for the Council to consider budgetary requests during the budgetary process, which will be in progress for the next few months. PRESENTATION OF MAPPING OF CEMETERY City officials and Cemetery Board Members have, for a number of years, been concerned about the accuracy of previous maps and surveys of the cemetery. It is particularly important in the iden- a1* tification of exact boundaries of existing plots and the need for consistency in future sales. Glen Grace was contracted this spring to conduct this project to ensure a precise locator system that can be used by Staff and cemetery caretakers. Glen Grace, Historical Chairman of the Edmonds Cemetery Board, said the existing records of the cemetery were in chaos when the City took charge of the cemetery in 1982. He said he started to organize the existing records last January and has spent approximately 2,000 hours to date in that process. Mr. Grace said the cemetery is a 6.4 acre lot. He said he discovered that many of the names of people that are buried in the cemetery are not on file and the locator system for the grave sites was inaccurate. Mr. Grace said he computer indexed the names of the people buried in the ceme- tery, the location of the grave sites, and financial status of the plots. He.said that informa- tion can be accessed within five minutes, and he is confident of its accuracy. Councilmember Jaech commended Mr. Grace for the outstanding job he has performed. PROPOSED ORDINANCE 2741 ESTABLISHING COUNCIL SALARIES FOR COUNCILMEMBERS ELECTED OR APPOINTED ON :OR AFTER JANUARY 1, 199 C`ue, "" Council member Kasper said the alternative ordinance before the Council (Exhibit B) was not men- tioned to the Council when they considered a pay raise in July. Since then, City Attorney Scott Snyder has apprised the Council of an alternate approach known as the Index Method. Councilmem- ber Kasper said he has been advised that Lynnwood and other local cities have adopted this ap- proach but he could not see how it would equalize salaries. At a Council Committee meeting, he said the Council decided on a $350 base plus $50 per meeting, not to exceed 7 meetings per month. He said he had a problem recommending the Indexing Method when the Council is trying to move away from CPI to market comparisons, but it may be the only alternative. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DWYER, TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 2741, ACCEPT- ING EXHIBIT "A" (THE ORDINANCE PROVIDING $350 PER MONTH PLUS $50 FOR EACH OFFICIAL COUNCIL MEET- ING, NOT TO EXCEED SEVEN COUNCIL MEETINGS PER MONTH, INCLUDING BUDGET MEETINGS AND RETREATS). MOTION CARRIED. As a procedural matter, Mayor Naughten adjourned the meeting at 10 p.m. COUNCILMEMBER HALL MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, TO REOPEN THE MEETING, PROVIDED THAT THE MEETING ADJOURNED AT 10:10 P.M. MOTION CARRIED. MAYOR Mayor Naughten said the second mailing for the Esperance area was prepared, and F.A.T.E. has also prepared another mailing. Mayor Naughten said he attended the 28th opening of the Cascade Symphony Orchestra last night, which was dedicated to the State and City Centennials. He gave Robert Anderson a Community Ser- vices Award for 28 years of service. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 7 OCTOBER 24, 1989 Mayor Naughten said he and Councilmember Hall attended the Edmonds High School homecoming event. COUNCIL With .the consensus of the Council, Council President Kasper scheduled a joint meeting with the Planning Board at their November 8th meeting. Councilmember Hall read a letter into the record from Roy Brooks to Mr. Odabashien, Washington State Transportation Commission, objecting to triple trailer combinations on State highways be- cause he felt they create extremely dangerous driving conditions for cars. He requested the Com- mission to disallow that use. Councilmember Hall said she agreed with Mr. Brooks and urged the Council to lobby the legislators if they agreed, too. The meeting adjourned at 10:05 p.m. THESE MINUTES ARE SUBJECT TO OCTOBER 30, 1989 APPROVAL. JA QUE INE G.
