PRESENTATION OF COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARDS TO DOUG EGAN AND GLEN GRACE
Mayor Naughten noted that the Community Service Award was established several years ago to recog-
nize individuals or organizations who have made a significant contribution to the quality of life
in the community.
Mayor Naughten said Doug Egan was nominated for the City of Edmonds Community Service Award be-
cause of the numerous contributions he has made over the past twenty-six years to the community.
Mayor Naughten said Mr. Egan came to Edmonds in 1963 after a career in shipping, the foreign
service, and service in the U.S. Navy during WW II where he reached the rank of Commander. He
opened a business in Edmonds, joined the Chamber of Commerce, and later became president of the
Chamber of Commerce. Mayor Naughten said Mr. Egan was the guiding hand in the formation of the
Edmonds -South Snohomish County Historical Society and the opening of the Edmonds Museum in 1973.
He served as its first president and continues to be a very active member of the Society's Board
of Trustees in addition to being the marine curator of the museum. To quote his peers, "The
success of the Society, its museum and their value to the cultural assets of Edmonds and South
County have, in a great measure, been due to Doug's untiring efforts over the years".
Mayor Naughten presented Mr. Egan with the Community Service Award.
Mr. Egan recalled when James Stewart, in preparation for accepting an award, tossed around in bed
all night trying to think of what he would say, but the more he thought about what to say, the
more confused he got. So he finally decided to just say, "Thank you very much".
Mayor Naughten noted that Glen Grace was contracted this spring to conduct a detailed study of
the Edmonds Memorial Cemetery to try to organize ninety-nine years of records into a comprehen-
sive guide for future sales and burials and to reflect an accurate history of the cemetery.
Mayor Naughten said it has been a difficult and time-consuming job, and Glen has spent thousands
or hours researching death certificates, old maps, obituaries, and records to compile his data.
The result is a computerized record that has eliminated many duplications and errors from the
past and will streamline operations in the future.
Mayor Naughten said although this has been a project that Glen has concentrated on in 1989, his
knowledge and interest in the cemetery actually started when the Cemetery Board was established
by the City in 1982. Since that time, everyone has benefited from Glen's expertise as a genealo-
gist and family historian in his capacity as Historian and two terms as Chairman of the Cemetery
Board.
Mayor Naughten presented Mr. Grace with the Community Service Award.
Mr. Grace thanked the City for giving him the award. He apologized to his granddaughter for not
being able to play with her; to his daughter, Shannon, for not putting her lawn in; to his daugh-
ter, Sherry, for not remodeling her house; and to his wife for never being home because his com-
mitment to the cemetery took time away from his family.
PRESENTATION OF RESOLUTION COMMENDING COUNCILMEMBER LAURA HALL
Council President Kasper stated that Councilmember Hall has served the City since 1976 with five
a P 9 years on the Planning Board, five years on the Library Board, and eight years on the City Coun-
cil .
Council President Kasper read the resolution into the record commending Councilmember Hall for
her efforts and contributions to the City of Edmonds during her term of office as City Councilmem-
ber and her prior service. Council President Kasper presented her with a plaque.
Mayor Naughten presented Councilmember Hall with a Certificate of Appreciation from the State of
Washington in recognition of her service on the City Council and her outstanding contributions to
the people of Snohomish County.
Councilmember Hall said it was truly an honor to serve the constituency of Edmonds.
Councilmember Hall said she asked herself several years ago if she would make a difference, and
she tried; she asked herself a week ago if she made a difference, and the answer was yes, some.
Councilmember Hall said her first mission as a Councilmember was to establish the Mayor's posi-
tion as a full-time position. The Council saw fit after some deliberation to make the position
full-time, and the City had its first full-time Mayor, Larry Naughten.
Councilmember Hall said her next mission was to hire three additional full-time firefighters, and
the Council again saw fit to do so.
Councilmember Hall recalled that Chet Bennett had asked her for her help in getting the City to
accept the ownership of the cemetery when it was bequeathed to the City, and she suggested to him
that he present to the City Council the deed to the cemetery and she would make a motion at the
Council meeting to accept the deed. Councilmember Hall said she was proud that the City accepted
the deed because it is a fine legacy.

Councilmember Hall said there is one disappointment to her, and that is the location of the secon-
dary wastewater treatment,plant. She asked the Council why they voted to leave the plant at its
present location.
Councilmember Hall said the greatest honor to her, as she looked around the room, was that she
served not just a small group of people but all of the people.
Councilmember Hall said there is a big issue before the Council, the Edmonds ferry dock. She
said the City must stand its ground and put forth its blueprint to the State and cooperate with
the State.
Councilmember Hall thanked everyone. She said the position of an elected official has its de-
mands and responsibilities, but she has truly gained from the experience and has been enriched
and is now a better person.
Mayor Naughten said Councilmember Hall's words are words that everyone can think about.
Council President Kasper presented Councilmember Dwyer with a plaque in appreciation for his
service as Council President last year.
The meeting recessed at 7:20 p.m. for refreshments in honor of Councilmember Hall and reconvened
at 7:40 p.m.
CWC-HDR MONTHLY REPORT
Gordon Culp, CWC=HDR, Inc. reported that the contractor has nearly completed the raw sewage pump-
ing station. Painting and final installation of equipment and electrical continues in prepara-
1' tion for testing and final check out. Construction of the influent sewers on Alder Street and
Second Avenue is complete with the exception of two manholes required for the Phase I sewer diver-
sion.
Mr. Culp noted that the contractor is behind the December 18, 1989 Phase I start-up date. Test-
ing, final system checks, and start-up will be performed several days beyond the scheduled start-
up date.
Mr. Culp said the plumbing, piping, and electrical work continues in the solids process build-
ing. The air compressors and chlorination systems are ready for final testing and start up.
Temporary roofing on the building was installed, and the contractor is preparing offices for the
City's use during Phase I operation of the new treatment facilities.
Mr. Culp said setting of the incinerator reactor shell and tray scrubber is complete in the incin-
eration room. The incinerator erection contractor will set the incinerator's major components by
the end of the year.
Mr. Culp said construction of the 48 inch effluent pipeline is near completion. The contractor
has installed, backfilled and paved the SR104 pipeline crossing. Work continues on backfilling
the pipeline trench, installation of the potable waterline, repair of sanitary sewers, repair of
existing utilities and installation of the existing effluent pipeline tie-in on Dayton Street.
Paving of Dayton Street is scheduled the week of December 26, 1989.
Mr. Culp noted that the contractor's claim for extra work regarding the installation of the Phase
II shoring cutoff wall is under review by an independent auditor. Results of the audit will
determine the amount of the claim settlement.
Mr. Culp said construction on the Edmonds wastewater meter stations project is proceeding on
schedule. The contractor has completed all roadway work on meter station "B" located at the
intersection of Meridian Avenue and SR104. Construction of meter stations no. 1 and 2 will begin
after the first of the year.
Mr. Culp noted that 30% of the time has been used and 39% of the budget has been expended to date.
Councilmember Dwyer inquired if the work done to date is consistent with the amount of money that
has been budgeted for that work. Mr. Culp replied affirmatively.
The Council thanked Mr. Culp for his report.
Mayor Naughten recognized Scout Troop 312 in the audience. Duffy Scott said he was attending the
Council meeting to obtain his merit badge.

DISCUSSION REGARDING VACANT POSITION IN CITY CLERK'S OFFICE
Personnel Manager Brent Hunter noted that a list of all clerical positions in the City was includ-
fed in the Council packets to provide a reference for the grade placement for the vacant position
f in the City Clerk's office in relation to other clerical positions.
�ITO Councilmember Hall said she was pleased to have received the information because it ut th
p s e
position in a better perspective. She said she could not even fathom why the position would be
classified at an NE-5 level because the duties of that position warrant an NE-7 or NE-9 classifi-
cation.
COUNCILMEMBER HALL MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WILSON, TO FILL THE POSITION IN THE CITY
CLERK'S OFFICE AT A GRADE NE-7. A ROLL CALL VOTE WAS TAKEN. A TIE VOTE OCCURRED WITH COUNCILMEM-
BER KASPER, COUNCILMEMBER HALL, AND COUNCILMEMBER WILSON IN FAVOR; COUNCILMEMBER DWYER, COUNCIL -
MEMBER HERTRICH, AND COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST OPPOSED. MAYOR NAUGHTEN VOTED IN FAVOR OF THE MO-
TION TO BREAK THE TIE VOTE. MOTION CARRIED.
City Attorney Scott Snyder noted that an ordinance will be necessary to appropriate the funds for
the salary for that position unless the position is listed with a salary and a grade.
The Council discussed the title to be given to the position. It was the consensus of the Council
to classify it as an Administrative Clerk.
FINAL ACTION ON EXEMPT PERSONNEL SALARIES
Personnel Manager Brent Hunter reviewed the chronological history of the exempt employee salary
study, stating that after the presentation of Janet Padgett's classification study, the Council
established at the 1989 spring retreat a Classification Committee and formulated the following
objectives for the Committee: 1) develop a classification plan similar to Mercer Island's; 2)
consider a separate salary plan for the department directors; 3) re -align the misclassified jobs;
and 4) develop a new merit pay plan by January 1, 1990.
Mr. Hunter said the Classification Committee made their initial presentation to the Council in
August, comprised of: 1) positions grouped together based upon their marketplace value; 2) broad
classification standards based upon the Mercer Island model; and 3) implementation costs for 1989
was $14,360. In August, the Council discussed and tentatively approved the classification
methodology (Whole Job), the basic job categories (Director -Manager -Supervisor -Professional), and
the class descriptions within each category.
Mr. Hunter noted that the Council reviewed and tentatively approved the Classification Guidelines
in September, which are to be used to update the Plan, establish pay levels for new positions,
and for reclassifications.
Mr. Hunter said the Council met in a special Saturday session in October and decided upon the
following actions: 1) raise the Administrative Services Director to an A-1 level; raise the
Treatment Plant Supervisor to a C-2 level; and lower the Parks & Recreation Manager to a B-2
level; 2) approve the seven marketplace cities for annual surveys; 3) Directors and Managers will
not get COLA, only merit pay; 4) Supervisors and Professionals will get both COLA and merit pay;
5) discussed an Exceptional Pay bonus; and 6) discussed job qualifications for the exempt posi-
tions.
Mr. Hunter said the Council again discussed the Administrative Services Director's level in Octo-
ber and reclassified it at an A-2 level. In addition, they approved the Mayor's recommendations
to fund the Performance Pay Salary Pool for the Directors and Managers at 7% for 1990 and estab-
lish a 4% COLA plus 3% performance pay for the Supervisors and Professionals for 1990. The Coun-
cil also directed that the study's salary ranges be undated for 1990 and brought back for the
Council's approval.
Mr. Hunter said the Mayor has recommended to update the study's salary ranges by 4% for 1990 and
a lump sum payment for 1989 for those employees who have been topped out.
Mr. Hunter reviewed graphs of the various salary ranges over a five year period which illustrated
how an exempt employee can advance with merit increases. He said if an exempt employee does not
receive any pay increases, their salary will never advance; if they receive only the amount the
represented employee receives (3%), they will stay at the minimum of the salary range; if they
receive an average of 5% to 6% over a period of time, they will eventually top out.
Mr. Hunter noted that one of the graphs for the exempt employees depicts that their salaries are
in alignment with one another.

Page 4 DECEMBER 27, 1989
Councilmember Hertrich pointed out that the Mercer Island COLA and merit increases are less than
the average of the seven marketplace cities. He said he personally has a strong feeling about
the word "COLA", and the use of it has diminished in private industry. He cautioned the Council
about adopting COLA and merit increases based on an average of the marketplace cities because he
wondered which cities are driving the other cities. He wanted to be more of an individualist.
He said the system itself seems to be reasonable, but he thought the proposed COLA and merit
ranges for the City are a little high.
Councilmember Wilson said the Council had discussed allocation of the performance pool at some
length but never reached any conclusions. He believed the key to the performance pool is the way
in which it will be administered.
In response to questions by Councilmember Hertrich, Mr. Hunter said the $14,360 lump sum payment
was based on an average 3% merit increase for the topped out employees. Councilmember Hertrich
inquired if those monies will be totally expended. Mayor Naughten said they will not necessarily
be totally expended.
Councilmember Hertrich said his calculations indicate an average 2.37% merit increase for the
seven marketplace cities rather than 4% and, therefore, the amount of the lump sum proposed for
the City should be less than $14,360.
Councilmember Kasper said the average of the step increase appears to be between 1.3% and 1.6%.
Mr. Hunter said more people become eligible for the money when the salary ranges for the exempt
employees are expanded and, therefore, the cost goes up. He said the actual individual cost of
the step program is about 5% so the employee who gets a step increase could easily get a 4% COLA
plus a 5% step increase.
COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO ADOPT THE LUMP SUM PAYMENT OF
$14,360 AS SET FORTH ON PAGE 1 OF THE COUNCIL PACKET TO BE DISTRIBUTED FROM THE RESIDUAL OF THE
POOL OF $20,000 TO THOSE EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE TOPPED OUT YET HAVE QUALIFIED FOR A PERFORMANCE PAY
AS MEASURED BY THE MAYOR.
City Attorney Scott Snyder noted that the City is making a one-time salary adjustment in consider-
ation of further employment and the Council should, in order to meet constitutional requirements,
avoid the use of the terminology "retroactive" or "bonus".
MOTION CARRIED.
The Council discussed the proposal to update the study's salary ranges by 4% for the managers and
directors.
Councilmember Wilson said he did not believe the City will ever get away from a system that is
not, in one form or another, compared to other cities. He said his goal has always been to estab-
lish a system for the top management so they will be competitive in looking at the performance
pool and will strive for peak performance. Councilmember Wilson said the success of the system
lies solely in how the money will be administered. He hoped that it is administered in a way
that encourages management to perform at a very high level.
Councilmember Hall pointed out that a study has been conducted and the issue has been debated
over the last few years. She said the Council is at the point where they have to lay down the
groundwork and step up to the fire and take care of the exempt employees perhaps this year only
and trust the Mayor to deal with it.
COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WILSON, TO ADOPT THE SALARY RANGES AS PRE-
SENTED. MOTION CARRIED.
The Council discussed the 4% COLA.
Councilmember Kasper said the Council had discussed to move the supervisors away from COLA next
year along the lines of what the Council is doing with the directors this year.
COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO ADOPT THE 4% COLA AND THE 3%
PERFORMANCE POOL AND THAT THE ENTIRE THING BE REVIEWED BY AUGUST, AT LEAST BY THE FINANCE COMMIT-
TEE, AS TO HOW THE PERFORMANCE WENT, ETC., AND WHAT THE COUNCIL WANTS TO DO FOR THE FOLLOWING
YEAR AND THAT INCLUDES THE 7% THIS YEAR FOR THE DIRECTORS.
Councilmember Kasper said the Council will also look at the possible phasing in of the next group
in August, like the supervisors.
MOTION CARRIED.

ALLY VOTED ON. MOTION CARRIED.
FINAL DISCUSSION ON ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS, AND SET HEARING DATE TO CONSIDER PROPOSED CHANGES
Assistant City Planner Duane Bowman said the regulations appear to work well but there are needed
changes. He said the definition of an accessory dwelling unit needs to be amended to require the
total number of individuals to occupy both the accessory dwelling unit and the residence not to
exceed the City's definition of a family. He said the present definition could potentially allow
two separate families to occupy a house. By amending the definition, the problem would be elimi-
nated and would preserve the density of the single family residence.. Mr. Bowman said the present
Code could allow up to ten unrelated individuals to live in the combined residence/accessory
dwelling unit. By changing the definition to one family, up to five unrelated individuals would
be the maximum number of residents.
Mr. Bowman said the covenant needs to be revised and standardized. It should be recorded after
the permit is approved. He noted that the City Attorney has prepared a revised covenant.
With respect to the issue of new owners applying for accessory dwelling units in new or existing
homes, Mr. Bowman said a minimum two year -occupancy requirement can be instituted. If a hardship
clause is proposed to grant exceptions to this rule, he said it should be clearly defined to
eliminate any confusion in its implementation.
Councilmember Nordquist inquired if the minimum two-year occupancy requirement would apply to the
owner or to the person renting the home. Mr. Bowman replied the owner.
Councilmember Hertrich noted that the Planning Board has proposed to eliminate the requirement to
obtain a conditional use permit for the kitchen in an accessory dwelling unit. He said he felt
very strongly that that requirement should be included in the Code.
Councilmember Hertrich also noted that King County requires that a new home have covered parking
but Edmonds does not. He said if a garage or covered parking area were converted into an accesso-
ry dwelling unit, the owner of that home is required to provide covered parking somewhere else on
his property. Mr. Bowman said the Council could include that type of a provision in the Code,
but he said it would be difficult because it is not a normal requirement. Councilmember Hertrich
asked the City Attorney .if it would be appropriate to require a home owner to provide covered
parking elsewhere on his property if an existing covered parking area were converted into an
accessory dwelling unit. City Attorney Scott Snyder said that is a policy question for the Coun-
cil to decide. He requested the Council to make definitive proposals in preparation for the
public hearing. Councilmember Wilson said he thought that was the type of provision that the
Council has attempted to steer away from because it would be repressive for people that truly
have a need, and he said he would vote against it.
Councilmember Kasper inquired if the Code presently allows a garage to be converted into an acces-
sory dwelling unit. Mr. Bowman said a garage can be converted only if it is attached to the
house.
Councilmember Hall was of the opinion that requiring an enclosed parking area would adversely
impact a neighborhood. She cautioned the Council to look at the hardship clause carefully and be
as generous as possible. Councilmember Hall said she was not in support of requiring a home
owner to occupy his residence for two years prior to converting part of the'home into an accesso-
ry dwelling unit because she said she could conceivably see where people have had a family prob-
lem long before moving to Edmonds and they have to move but still need a single-family type resi-
dence.
Councilmember Hertrich said he has not heard any citizen who has said they want the regulations
which govern accessory dwelling units to be more liberal. He said people want to protect the
character of their neighborhood, but the more liberal the regulations, the more a neighborhood
will be impacted. He thought there would be a proliferation of accessory dwelling units unless a
minimum occupancy is required by the owner.
Councilmember Wilson disagreed that accessory dwelling units will proliferate. He said there is
currently no problem with accessory dwelling units; there are only a few isolated cases.
Mayor Naughten inquired if the Code allows a homeowner to rent his home to anyone he wants to.
Mr. Snyder replied affirmatively.
Councilmember Hall said she would like to include a proviso that a mechanism be available to a
family who needs housing who wishes to move into the community so that they can go through the
process expeditiously.
EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 6 DECEMBER 27, 1989
Councilmember Wilson suggested that the Council discuss the hardship issue at a future work ses
Sion. Discussion of the issue was scheduled on February 27, 1990.
Mr. Snyder said a broad range of alternatives will exist if the Council has individual items
without an ordinance that go beyond the Planning Board's recommendation, and he said the public
will have a right to be heard with respect to a specific change to the ordinance before it is
passed.

Mayor Naughten wished everyone a Happy New Year!
rniitirii
Council President Kasper inquired whether the Council salaries had been established for the new
term. City Attorney Scott Snyder noted that the Council passed an ordinance on October 14, 1989.
Council President Kasper said he would schedule discussion of overlay chipsealing, senior housing
options, and curbside recycling on January 30, 1990 with the Council's permission because it is a
special meeting.
Councilmember Wilson thanked Councilmember Hall for all of her years of service. He said he knew
of no one else who has consistently tried to help people more than she has. He thanked her most
of all for "just being yourself and keeping us on our toes".
Councilmember Hall said she will be in and about and around and doubly looking toward 1990. She
said she will be looking with expectations on the ferry dock issue.
Councilmember Hall complimented Staff. She said she has enjoyed working with them over the
years. She said they are a "great group of people and they give over and above".
COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DWYER, TO ADOPT THE CITY PROSECUTOR REQUEST
ff FOR PROPOSAL. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilmember Nordquist referred to last week's Consent Agenda Item (J) - Authorization for Mayor
P to Sign Contract with Kroesen's, Inc., for Police Uniforms. Because there were some problems
with the bid process and based upon a recommendation by the City Attorney, COUNCILMEMBER NORD-
QUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DWYER, TO INSTRUCT STAFF TO GIVE NOTICE OF TERMINATION
PRIOR TO THE END OF THE YEAR AND GO TO BID FOR THE FOLLOWING YEAR.
In response to Councilmember Wilson, Councilmember Nordquist said the contract with Kroesen's is
renewable each year.
MOTION CARRIED.
Councilmember Nordquist thanked Councilmember Hall for the time and effort she has put forth
serving the City. He noted that being a Councilmember is time consuming because it means attend-
ing not only the Council meetings on Tuesday nights but a lot of other meetings as well.
The meeting adjourned at 9:40 p.m.
THESE MINUTES ARE SUBJECT TO JANUARY 2, 1990 APPROVAL.
