Councilman Gellert asked that Item.(D), Authorization to call for bids on technical services for
Sanitary Sewer Survey, 201 Facility Planning Study, be removed from the Consent Agenda.for a question.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN.CARNS, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN ANDERSON, TO APPROVE THE BALANCE OF THE

AUTHORIZATION TO CALL FOR BIDS ON TECHNICAL SERVICES FOR SANITARY SEWER SURVEY, 201 FACILITY PLANNING
STUDY (Item (D) on Consent Agenda)
Councilman Gellert asked if there would be an additional $8,000 cost to the City as it appeared by
the memorandum from the Director of Public Works. Public Works Director Leif Larson responded that
there would, and at the time the budget was prepared they were not aware of the full costs. He
added that funds were available in the Water/Sewer Fund for this. He also said that both the
Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Ecology had authorized their increased grants.
A MOTION WAS THEN MADE BY COUNCILMAN GELLERT, SECONDED�BY COUNCILMAN NORDQUIST, TO APPROVE ITEM (D)
ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, AUTHORIZING CALL FOR BIDS ON JUNE 2, 1977. MOTION CARRIED.
COUNCIL (7:43 p.m.)
Councilman Gellert inquired about the progress on the Social Security Withdrawal documents. City
Attorney John Wallace responded that his office had prepared the proposed ordinance, contracts, and
agreements to be signed by future employees, but felt they should be coordinated with the Howard
Johnson Company. Brendan O'Farrell of that company had been out of town so the coordination had
not yet been accomplished. Mr. Wallace felt that the drafts of the ordinance and agreements would be
ready for next week's packets, and he noted .that the effective date of withdrawal would be June 30.
Councilman Gellert expressed the concern that they could be forced into an agreement by default
because of the withdrawal date and wanted to avoid that possibility.
Councilman Herb noted that the National Le&gu'e of Cities was having a conference in Seattle in August
which he would like to attend. He said the tuition is $50 and if he did attend it would be his third
conference this year, so if anyone objected to his attending he would not do so.
Councilman Herb said he still did not .fully understand what:had been accomplished with the Prior
Report and suggested it might be worthwhile to be placed on the agenda for discussion. M.A.A. Gilbo
recommended such discussion not be held for at least six weeks in order to take full advantage of the
work presently being done by the consultant. A MOTION WAS THEN MADE BY COUNCILMAN HERB, SECONDED
BY COUNCILMAN GOULD, THAT AN UPDATE ON THE PRIOR PERSONNEL REPORT BE GIVEN TO THE COUNCIL ON JUNE 14.
MOTION CARRIED.

MAYOR (7:48 p.m.)
Mayor Harrison again announced the quarterly meeting of the Association,of Snohomish County Ciities
and Towns to be held on April 28. Also, in line with a State proclamation honoring volunteers
during the week of April 24-30, he read a proclamation issued by the City, proclaiming April 24-30
to be Volunteer Week, in honor of all volunteers.
AUDIENCE (7:50 p.m.)
Allen Hendricks of 300 Harbor Building, attorney for the group known as Citizens Concerned for
their Community (CCC) read a letter which he had sent to the Edmonds School District regarding
the CCC's lawsuit against the School District in connection with the sale of the Edmonds Junior
High School. He reviewed the background of the situation prior to this letter, saying it was
the position of the CCC that.the School District at least should have gone through.the
environmental checklist before passing the resolution surplusing the school property. The'
letter addressed to.the School District outlined conditions for the CCC dropping its suit.
Mr. Hendricks urged the Council, Mayor, and Staff to approach the School District and discuss
the items indicated in his letter, and he requested a motion by the Council to send representatives
to talk to the School District representatives. Councilman Carns referred to one of the
conditions cited, providing unrestricted use of the building to those who had used it from
January 1, 1976 to the present, and stated no one would buy a building under those conditions.
Councilman Gellert inquired as to how many members make up the CCC. Both Mr. Hendricks and
'Jim Shields, Chairman of the CCC, replied that they had no idea of the number. Mayor Harrison
indicated that the City has been discussing this matter with the School District and will try
to .get as good a position as is possible. Councilman Gellert said he had no objection to
authorizing the Mayor's administration to discuss with the School District the possibility of
leasing the Elementary School. Councilman Gould felt it would be poor for the City to get into
the legal action between the School District and the CCC. He noted that they were already working
towards the conclusion of a lease of the Junior High Athletic Field complex. He said he certainly
would support the City's own individual action towards working with the School District regarding
acquisition and/or lease of the.El.ementary School site, but that it must be completely separate
from this action. Mayor Harrison indicated a letter had already gone from the City to the School
District regarding the possibility of an interim lease of the Elementary School pending negotiation
for acquisition of it..
Captain Fl.oyd Smith of 814 Dayton said he was happy to hear that both the State and the City were
honoring volunteers by proclaiming Volunteer Week. He said the Historical Society recently had
awarded fifteen 100-hour pins to volunteers.
HEARING ON PROPOSED ANNEXATION - VICINITY 224TH S. W. AND HIGHWAY 99 (8:10 p.m.)
Public Works Director Leif Larson displayed a sketch of the area proposed for annexation. He said
the Boundary Review Board had waived jurisdiction, allowing Edmonds to proceed with the annexation.
He recommended approval of the annexation. The public portion of the hearing was then opened.
Russell Segner, the party who initiated the annexation; said he was present on behalf of the
MOTION: annexation. The public portion was then closed.. A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN ANDERSON,
SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN CARNS, TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 1915, ANNEXING CERTAIN PROPERTY DESCRIBED IN
EXHIBIT "A" THERETO TO THE CITY OF EDMONDS. MOTION CARRIED.
HEARING ON P.C. RESOLUTION 550, RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF PROPOSED DRAINAGE ORDINANCE (8:13 p.m.)
Community Development Director Joe Wallis reviewed the background of this proposed ordinance
and what the ordinance -would accomplish. He recommended it be approved because it would help to
solve a number of drainage problems in the City which existing regulations do not adequately cover.
He noted that,:the proposed ordinance had been studied far more extensively than most proposed ordinances,, -
as participants in the Regional 208 Study had used the draft as a model. The proposed ordinance was
discussed, with the Councilmen indicating areas wherein they thought there should be changes. is
public portion of the hearing was then opened.
Dean Echelbarger of 555 Alder said he had served on the Citizens Advisory Committee on Urban
Drainage, working within the 208 Program. He clarified one of the questions regarding requirement
of a drainage plan where 5,000 or more square feet is being developed within the property, saying
5,000 square feet had been recommended in order to preclude the person who wants to build some-
thing like a•driveway from having to submit a drainage plan. The public portion was then closed.

SCPTBA PRESENTATION (9:10 p.m.)
Vic Sood, Director of the Snohomish County Public Transportation Benefit Area Corporation, and
Ed Howell, its Public Relations Officer, gave a six-month report on the progress of the SCPTBA.
They displayed charts showing increasing reidership and expansion of services and commented on
future plans. They said they would return in another six months to keep the City apprised of
their progress.
STATUS REPORT ON PRD-1-76, "BROOKACRES" (9:28 p.m.)
Community Development Director Joe Wallis had distributed a 'status report on this PRD which included
the h,is.tory, of 'the. appl icattion. He ,indicated there were two opti'ons,, to cons.i.der: (1) Grant the
waiver request, which would include granting the waiver and then final appro,val of the PRD; or (2)
Not grant the waiver, which would result in a new application and all reviews being required before
approving the PRD. City Attorney John Wallace indicated this matter had progressed to the point
where it was totally within the review of the Council alone, so it was now solely within the Council's
discretion as to whether or not to grant the waiver. He was asked on what criteria the Council's
decision should be based, and he responded that the decision should be based on whether the Council
felt so much time had elapsed that the applicant should be required to start from the beginning, or
whether they felt that because of the state it had gotten to, a new application should not be
required. He said that what was really before the Council was to set a time at which the Council
would consider the request for the waiver of the 90-day requirement. A MOTION WAS MADE BY.COUNCILMAN
CARNS, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN ANDERSON, TO SET MAY 17 TO HEAR THE REQUEST FROM,DEAN ECHELBARGER TO
WAIVE THE 90-DAY PERIOD AND ALLOW HIM TO MAKE HIS PRESENTATION. Clyde Cory, ;an attorney representing
An Landberg who owns the property, said.: he had understood they would be allowed to argue this issue
this evening, and he requested the hearing be held at this time. Dean Echelbarger said he had made
all submittals just as if this would be the hearing. Community Development Director Joe Wallis
indicated ten people who had previously expressed interest in being notified when this came.up had been
notified there would be.a status report this evening. He suggested the waiver be considered this
evening.and the final hearing be held next week. THE MOTION WAS VOTED UPON, WITH COUNCILMAN CARNS
VOTING YES, AND ALL OTHER COUNCILMEN VOTING NO. MOTION FAILED. A MOTION WAS THEN -MADE BY COUNCILMAN
NORDQUIST, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN HERB, THAT AGENDA ITEM 10 BE MOVED TO AGENDA ITEM 11, AND THAT THE
HEARING ON THE BROOKACRES WAIVER BE INSERTED AS AGENDA ITEM 10 THIS EVENING. MOTION CARRIED. .
PRD-1-76, "BROOKACRES: - CONSIDERATION OF WAIVER OF 90-DAY REQUIREMENT FOR INSTALLATION OF IMRROVEMENTS
Councilman Carns said he did not think it possible for him to separate in his mind the City's
application for IAC funds and HUD Block Grant funds from this matter, so he asked to be excused
from this discussion. He left the rostrum and the Council Chambers but returned to the Council Chambers
during the discussion. Councilman Gellert asked Mr. Wallis for the.Staff's recommendation regarding
the waiver, to which Mr. Wallis responded that he had discussed it with the Park Planning and
Recreation Director and with the Assistant City Planner and there were serious reservations as to
whether or not purchase of Brookacres by the City would be appropriate or worthwhile.because of the
value of it. He said their recommendation was that the waiver be granted and the.PRD heard. The
public portion of the':hea:ring was then opened.
Clyde Cory, representing Mrs. Landberg, said they were requesting a waiver of the time limitation or
that the Council reaffirm the design approval which had been pending since last May. Mr. Wallis
interjected that this matter had been held in abeyance at the applicant's request and that the only
thing lacking had been the bonding and assurance that the improvements would be put in as proposed.
Mr. Cory agreed,.and he said if the Council wouldreaffirm the design approval previously given, it
would start the 90-day period again. He stressed that this would be a prime development and would be
beneficial to the City. He stressed that if the City were to acquire.a part of Brookacres the
severance damages to the remaining property would be considerable, and if the City does not have the
money to buy the property it should not hold up the sale of the property. He said Mrs. Landberg wants
the property treated properly and for the estate appearance to remain as nearly as possible as it now
is. Ann Landberg of 16600 76th West.said she had expressed interest in selling to the City about
four years ago, but was unable to get any response and she now.had no interest in selling to the City.
Dean Echelbarger, the developer and applicant, said he had earnest money on the property -but it is
subject to the granting of this.waiver. He said he was interested in the City and also wanted parks,
but he felt this property would be..more of an asset to the City as a PRD than as an additional park
because of the taxes that would come off the project. He pointed out that it would be a big expense
to the City to keep it as a park. He also said it would be his intent to sell to Dave Eggiman, the
original applicant, whatever lots he had buyers for, so Mr. Eggiman was not entirely out of the
picture. Marie King of 713 Laurel, said the HUD Block Grant money was granted on the basis on the
property's allowd-ng access to the waterfront for moderate income people. She hoped the waiver would
be denied on the basis that'>the City was getting the money to buy the land for the park. She said
this particular property was extremely desirable because it has arboretum qualities, and with'a
little more work it could be attained. Linda-Goodrick of 16510 76th Avenue West pointed out the
problems with having a public park at Brookacres, citing.the access roadway especially as being
inadequate. She also felt the seller's interests should be considered. John Moore of 16858 76th W.,
said he agreed with everything Mrs. Landberg and her representatives had said. He felt the City
should join with the County j.n making the north park useful. Rod Gustafson, a resident of the
northend, cited the many problems that had been had with the Meadowdale Beach Park and said the same
could -be expected if Brookacres were to become a park. He felt the waiver should be given and the
property developed. A discussion then arose as to boundaries of the property being discussed. There
was some ambiguity regarding the area the City had proposed to attain through IAC and HUD block grant
funds. Assistant City Planner Noelle Charleson stated that the grant application did not require a
legal description and that only a vicinity sketch had been submitted, and .the sketch did not contain
the streams on the property. Some parties in the discussion had indicated the streams to be boundary
lines, so the configuration of the property was different to some of the participants in the
discussion. Ms-. Charleson said an actual property line could not be indicated until condemnation was
accomplished. Park Planning & Recreation Director Rod Garretson said if the property is acquired it
should include the north stream bed as, in order to be favorably accepted, there must be some
waterfront. The public portion of the hearing was closed.

Councilman Anderson said that emotionally, it would be nice for the City to preserve this area.
But, he said, his rational process indicated that they were dealing with Mrs. Landberg's rights
to do what she wants with her property. He noted that the Staff recommended going ahead with
the Haines property and if that were done there would still be the problem of having public
property adjoining expensive private property. He felt it was unreasonable to not develop
public sites so as not to have problems policing them.. He also felt that the severance costs
might make the property impossible to acquire. He said he was in favor of granting the waiver.
MOTION:
Councilman Herb felt there were no grounds on which to deny the.waiver. A MOTION WAS MADE BY
COUNCILMAN GOULD, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN ANDERSON, THAT THE REQUEST FOR WAIVER BE GRANTED AND
(Recon-
THAT THE IMPROVEMENTS EITHER BE MADE OR BONDED FOR AND FINAL APPROVAL BE REQUESTED BY THE
sidered)
MEETING OF JUNE 7. Councilman Gellert noted that he did not see how he could vote against this
waiver if the grant money was not considered, so he would vote in favor of the motion. THE
MOTION CARRIED, WITH COUNCILMAN CARNS NOT VOTING AS HE WAS STILL AWAY FROM THE ROSTRUM.
After the vote, Mr. Echelbarger questioned whether the Engineering Department could accomplish
everything it had to in order to have the final approval hearing by June 7. After discussion,
MOTION:
it was decided that might.not be a feasible date. A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN GELLERT,
SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN ANDERSON, TO RECONSIDER THE LAST ACTION TAKEN. MOTION CARRIED. Councilman
Carns had returned to the rostrum but abstained from voting as he had not taken part in the hearing.
MOTION:
A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN GELLERT, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN GOULD, TO SET THE HEARING DATE
FOR THE FINAL APPROVAL OF PRD-1-76 AT THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE TIME, NOT LATER THAN AUGUST 9, AND
THE ACTUAL DATE TO BE RECOMMENDED BY THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS AND THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT. MOTION CARRIED, WITH COUNCILMAN CARNS ABSTAINING.
MEETING WITH PROPERTY OWNERS ON PROPOSED ANNEXATION, VICINITY OF 180TH S.W. BETWEEN 72ND & 76TH AVENUES
Public Works Director Leif Larson reported a petition had been submitted for annexation of this area,'
and he displayed a drawing of the location. He noted that natural drainage would be to 76th, the
streets are in and in fairly good condition, and that cst iron water mains are installed. He said
the Police and Fire Departments had indicated no objection. Also, that the County zoning is
RS-12,500. He said the 10% petition had been submitted and they had already started circulating •
the 75% petition. The public portion of the discussion was opened. Ronald L. Whaley of
7301 179th S.W. said there had been general interest on the parts of residents of this area to
annex to Edmonds during the past six months to one year. He noted that there were a few in the
area who were against annexation. He said there had been a meeting at the Meadowdale Community
Club where City representatives had explained what would be involved in the annexation, so the
residents were aware of the expenses involved. Mr. Larson then read what the conditions would be
for annexation. City Attorney John Wallace instructed the Council in the sequence of actions
MOTION: necessary for the annexation process. A MOTION WAS MADE -BY COUNCILMAN GELLERT, SECONDED BY
COUNCILMAN CARNS, THAT THE CITY COUNCIL ACCEPT THE AREA PROPOSED FOR ANNEXATION SUBJECT TO THE
FOLLOWING: THAT ALL PROPERTY WITHIN THE TERRITORY HEREBY SOUGHT TO BE ANNEXED SHALL BE ASSESSED
AND TAXED AT THE SAME RATE AND ON THE SAME.BASIS AS PROPERTY WITHIN THE CITY OF EDMONDS FOR ANY NOW
OUTSTANDING INDEBTEDNESS OF SAID CITY, INCLUDING ASSESSMENT OR TAXES IN PAYMENT OF ANY BONDS ISSUED
OR DEBTS CONTRACTED, PRIOR TO OR EXISTING AT THE DATE OF ANNEXATION, AND THAT SIMULTANEOUS
ADOPTION OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS BE REQUIRED. MOTION CARRIED.
Discussion followed the motion revealing that the 75% petition already being circulated had wording
MOTION: on it somewhat different from that in the motion, so A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN CARNS,
MOTION: SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN HERB, TO RECONSIDER THE LAST ACTION TAKEN. MOTION CARRIED. A MOTION WAS THEN
MADE BY COUNCILMAN CARNS, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN ANDERSON, THAT THE CITY COUNCIL ACCEPT THE AREA
PROPOSED FOR ANNEXATION SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING: THAT ALL PROPERTY WITHIN THE TERRITORY HEREBY
SOUGHT TO BE ANNEXED SHALL BE ASSESSED AND TAXED AT THE SAME RATE AND ON THE SAME BASIS AS
