REPORT ON CITY GOVERNMENT MEETING
In response to a letter received from Orland Christensen, a public meeting to discuss forms of
city government and perhaps appoint a citizen's committee to investigate same had been held on
May 22 at 8:00 P.M. in the council chambers of the Civic Center. This meeting had been attended
by approximately 28 people, representing interest of a population of over 21,000. However,
Councilman McGinness felt it would be a good idea to have a study made of the various forms of •
government, and he made a motion that the Mayor appoint a citizen's committee to make a study of
forms of government as they would apply to Edmonds. There was no second to this motion, and
following discussion wherein -the Mayor advised that he did not feel that he should be the one to
appoint this committee, Councilman McGinness withdrew his motion. Councilman Harrison felt that
other people such as University professors who are familiar with the various forms of government
should be solicited to serve on this committee as well as those who were interested only in
changing the city's form of government. Councilman Kincaid stated that he thought those teaching
at the University would bebiased in.their views, inasmuch as they were in some cases for example
teaching City Manager form of government and certainly would favor that over any other form. He
added that the council as a whole should select a committee. It was noted that with the small
attendance at the government meeting, it was evident that there was no pressing demand for a change
or even study for a change of government in Edmonds. It was then moved by Councilman Kincaid,
seconded by Councilman McGinness that the council act as a committee of the whole to select a
citizen's committee to check into the various aspects of governments and see if there is interest I
at this time by the people of Edmonds. Motion carried.

this date having been on the 10 year payment plan. The Attorney advised that in case of a 20
year payment period on LID's, the council would have to make a unanimous declaration that the
improvement would last for the life of the bonds. A motion was therefore made by Councilman
McGinness, seconded by Councilman Bevan that proposed Ordinance #1309 be passed, creating
LID #160, with the regular 10 year period for bonds. Motion carried unanimously.

as a result of additional building, the Planning Commission had been turning down requests for
subdivisions in this area. It was felt that if a public notice was given by the city that no

taken care of, perhaps it would discourage applications until the problem is solved. Therefore,
