Council met as a whole at 8:15 p.m. to consider the paving and sidewalk concerns on 96th Ave.
West.
RESOLUTION OF PAVING AND SIDEWALK CONCERNS ON 96TH AVE. W.
6{b,4AA City Engineer Bob Alberts gave a short presentation on the staff recommendation regarding the
paving and sidewalk concerns on 96th Ave. W. Mr. Alberts said that residents objected to the
proposed rolled curb and asphalt walkway and requested a concrete vertical curb and concrete
sidewalk because they felt a concrete vertical curb was safer than a rolled curb. In reviewing
the project costs, staff estimates the final cost to be approximately $5,000 under the bid price
and $38,000 under budget. Mr. Alberts said that funds are available to make changes in the curb
and/or sidewalk and rebidding of the project would not be necessary. Mr. Alberts said the prima-
ry issue is the type of curb installed. Since this section of 96th Ave. W. is on the City's
Comprehensive Bicycle Plan, an attempt was made to address the bicyclist needs and safety as well
as pedestrians. Mr. Alberts said however, that the issue of bicyclists could be handled in the
future. COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH TO ADOPT THE STAFF RECOM-
MENDATION TO INSTALL A CONCRETE CURB SIX INCHES BACKED BY AN ASPHALT SIDEWALK THE ENTIRE LENGTH.
MOTION CARRIED. *

cy. COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH TO GIVE NOTICE TO THE PROPER-
TY OCCUPANTS TO VACATE THE PROPERTY BY JANUARY 30, 1992. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilmember Kasper noted that there was a selection meeting held with the Transportation Commit-
tee and it was unanimous amongst all members of the committee to accept Bell Walker Engineering
as the firm to conduct the overall traffic study to meet the growth management requirements,
therefore, COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH TO ACCEPT BELL WALKER
ENGINEERING AS THE FIRM TO CONDUCT THE TRAFFIC STUDY TO MEET THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS.
MOTION CARRIED.
Council President Pro-Tem Jaech noted that the Finance Committee did not meet this evening due to
the fact that both members were out of town. She also introduced Ms. Amanda Foote who will be
serving as Student Representative on the Council. Amanda is a senior at Meadowdale and her first
official meeting will be Monday, September 16th.
Councilmember Palmer noted that the Edmonds -South Snohomish County Historical Society met the
6. previous evening and asked him to bring up an item to the Council which is that the City had
allocated money for a display case to house artifacts from the cornerstone of the old Edmonds
High School. Councilmember Palmer said they found the artifacts to be in very tenuous condition
and would not survive being displayed. Councilmember Palmer said they would like to display
facsimiles of the artifacts so the public could view them. The Council was receptive to the
idea. Councilmember Palmer also stated that the Historical Society was also going to be coming
to the Council for a fire alarm system and a telephone which goes to the outside. Councilmember
Palmer explained that the current telephone system only works within the building, and outside
lines need to be established.
The meeting adjourned at 8:25 p.m.
