water tank at Five Corners. The intent was to paint it in the same color and texture as the new
tank. It was questioned whether the tank needed repainting, whether this was budgeted, and what it
would cost. Councilman Gould suggested the call for bids be authorized but that the Council request

COUNCIL
Councilman Gould referred to a memo from M.A.A. Dibble recommending another reception to honor
boards and commissions and commenting on last year's successful reception. M.A.A. Dibble suggested
the date of November 30, if the Council wished to have the reception. There was general agreement
that the reception should be held, and financing was discussed. Last year the Council members had
personally financed the reception.. On.question, City Attorney Wayne Tanaka stated it would be
proper to finance such from the Council Fund. The concensus of the Council was that the Council
would personally pay for any liquor provided.at the reception and the Council Fund would be used to
pay for the other items. Councilman Gould received direction to proceed with plans for the reception.
Councilman Kasper said he felt'the ordinance regarding Sunset Ave. was illegal because it caused
people to back into driveways to turn around and, further, he felt the people of Edmonds should be
able to enjoy the waterfront view. City Attorney Wayne Tanaka said a legal opinion would be pro-
vided regarding that ordinance.
There was no further business to come before.the Council, and the meeting.was adjourned at 6:45 p.m.
[This meeting was scheduled one hour earlier than the normal meeting time because of a Boundary
Review Board hearing on.a proposed Edmonds annexation election and to afford Council members the
opportunity to attend if they so desired.. All department heads attended the Boundary Review Board
hearing.]

REPORT FROM STAFF ON OCEAN AVE...AND.WATER ST.
•
"Local
City Engineer Jim Adams reported that after further study of these streets the Access Only"
sign had been changed to read "Street Ends" and had been moved so it is visible from Sound View Dr.
He recommended that the existing parking restrictions on the west side of Ocean Ave. remain. He
said some of the local residents had. -asked that the signs say."No.-Parking After Dark" which they
felt would solve the parking problems, but it would cost $50.per sign to make that change and he
felt that determining when it was -dark may pose a problem. He felt this was now a policing problem,
rather than a signage problem. The report was accepted.
REPORT,FROM POLICE CHIEF ON QUESTION..OF RESIDENT PARKING PERMITS
Police Chief Marlo Foster said..he.had obtained the -City of Everettordinance on this subject and he
was working -with theCity Attorney to.draft an ordinance.for.Edmonds, and he expected to have a
proposal -for discussion by October 30.
APPROVAL OF STREET USE PERMIT - CLAIRE'S PANTRY
Public Works Director Fred Herzberg stated that when.this building was- constructed Ahere was no
provision made inside for the storage of garbage because the State.code said it could not be stored
inside. 'The present restaurant generates -much more garbage thatthe previous ones did. The building
takes up.100% of the lot so there is no space outside the wall which is owned by the restaurant on
which to place dumpsters. A temporary street use permit.was issued to place two dumpsters on the
sidewalk of 3rd Ave. during construction, but that has expired, and the restaurant owners were now
asking.for a permanent permit. The previous restaurant.had.rented a garage from a nearby property
owner and had.used that to house.the trash containers,�but-shortly before this restaurant opened
that property owner cancelled the lease for the garage. Bob Gorman, owner of the restaurant, said
he has been dealing with the..land.owner..behind the restaurant.to try to purchase some.property at
the north of the building but the owner really does not want to.sell, and he is asking $450 per
month to use the ground. ""r. Herzberg -said they are still,..looking for alternatives. COUNCILMAN

was a bid procedure. M.A.A Charles Dibble responded that on minor items they get quotes but do not
go out to bid, and on some printed forms a printer has previously printed them and has them set up
so would be less expensive than going to a new printer. City Attorney Wayne Tanaka added that State •
law only requires going out to bid for property over $2,000 in value..
