City Update:
• Patrick reposted that the City is working with the Washington State Dept. of Transportation to
add signs along the ferry holding lanes directing folks waiting in line to an audio clip pointing the
many virtues of Edmonds. "You're not just in line, you're in Edmonds!"
• Due to the current public records laws it may be required that Ed! board members change their
e-mail addressed to City of Edmonds accounts. Cindi will send out new e-mail addresses soon.
Apple pointed out that e-mail addresses will need to be changed on all printed material.
• The Creative District committee will hold a meeting tonight.
Committee Updates:
• Marketing: No update.
• Appearance & Environment: Carrie and Pam met with the new manager of Bank of America, who
seemed open to the idea of after-hours parking in their lots. Clayton Moss has been asked to
coordinate sign schematics with the bank. The Hotel Group has determined they are not interested
in participating in after-hours parking in their lot at this time. Coastal Community Bank is still
considering the proposal and may respond later this year, and the committee may approach Chase
Bank again later in the year.
