enforce. Des Steele,.20902 Woodlake Dr., asked for a copy,of.the proposed ordinance, which he was
given. Bob Gustafson, 9602 Olympic'View Dr.., asked where:the.noise.would be measured, and Mr.
Tanaka responded that'it would be from the property line.. Phil King, 7910 79th P1. S.W., said there
should be an ordinance requiring that cars have_a legal muffler system and that would take care of
most of,the problems. He felt,.measuring noise levels would..be..meaningless.
Chief Foster said he would obtain the Mountlake Terrace and.Lynnwood'noise ordinances and that he
would check with Seattle and Everett, to see if .they have.had any enforcement problems. Councilman
Kasper commented that Chief Foster has always felt automobile noise isthe hardest to enforce, and
Chief Foster said it is hard to enforcebecause there are.a..lot of.cars out there and not many
officers. Councilman Kasper added that Sunset Ave. has a loud radio problem even today, although
many of,the other problems there have been alleviated.
Ray Martin,.18704 94th Ave. W.., asked,if.there was not any kind of ordinance for such things as
disturbing.the peace, and -Mr.. Tanaka responded that there is b.ut.it really is not suited to these
kinds of problems, covering such things as loud parties, drinking, etc.
Mrs. Soapes; 7916 217th S.W., said it.had been more expensive -in their neighborhood not having a
noise ordinance because they.had called the police several._times.a day and if there had been an
ordinance the problem would not.have gone on so.long. Mr.. King said he would like the Council to.
set a date this evening for passage of a. noise ordinance, realizing they needed time to consider it
but asking for a definite date. The discussion was closed to. -the audience. COUNCILMAN NORDQUIST
MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN KASPER, TO PLACE THE PROPOSED NOISE ORDINANCE ON THE AGENDA OF -THE
OCTOBER 7; 1980 WORK MEETING FOR FURTHER DELIBERATION, AND.TO PLACE IT ON THE OCTOBER 21, 1980
AGENDA FOR PUBLIC HEARING. MOTION CARRIED.
CONSIDERATION_ OF ESTABLISHING AN"INFORMAL..CONFERENCE PROCEDURE. FOR "NEIGHBORHOOD DISPUTES"
M.A.A. Charles Dibble had suggested adoption of a procedure.whereby an informal conference, presided
over by the City Prosecutor,'would be held in deciding whether.a criminal complaint should be filed
in certain types of cases. The complainant(s) and the proposed defendant(s) would be in attendance,
and it would afford the opportunity.for the prosecutor to.hear and evaluate the contentions of both
sides. 'At the conclusion he would know whether a complaint should be filed or whether the matter
could be'settled. Mr. Dibble felt such.a procedure would be well suited for neighborhood disputes
and marital disputes,. and neighborhood.disputes such as the Council had recently heard would have a
more proper forum. Councilwoman Goetz said she felt the.Council should not be hearing some of the
things they'hear, and that problems should be resolved at the lowest level. She felt the City had
the staff -and professionalism to do -that. City Attorney Wayne Tanaka said the general intent would
be that these disputes be forwarded to the Prosecutor.or the proper department head. COUNCILMAN
NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY.000NCILWOMAN ALLEN, THAT THE,MAYOR BE -REQUESTED TO ASK HIS ASSISTANT TO
DRAFT A PROCEDURE ALONG THE LINES.OF HIS AUGUST 13, 1980.MEMORANDUM, FOR CONSIDERATION BY THE COUNCIL
AT NEXT WEEK'S MEETING, WITH THE.INTENT.THAT DISPUTES.AS.DISCUSSED.BE HANDLED BY THE PROSECUTOR OR
THE DEPARTMENT HEAD, AND ONLY BE REFERRED TO THE COUNCIL.WHEN.ALL-OTHER EFFORTS HAVE FAILED. Councilman
Kasper felt this would be an excellent way to handle such problems as they get blown out of.proportion
when they go before the Council.' THE MOTION CARRIED.
There was no further business to.come before the Council, and the meeting was adjourned.at 9:05 p.m.

Recommendations that resulted from that.meeting were:
Community Transit
11
1. Community Transit will- retainpassenger shelter and bus stop at the Senior. Center. This
will continue into the long term,.if transit can maintain.southbound routing on Railroad Ave.
2.. Community Transit will examine establishing a short-range bus stop near the north end of
Railroad Ave. on the west side.
WSDOT -- City of Edmonds
1. Work will be continuing with the railroad to construct crossarms at Main St.
.2. -Because railroad crossarm hardware may narrow Railroad Ave. at Main, and in order to maintain
transit turning radius, either (a) a widened Railr.oad.Ave..inay be required or (b) a southbound
only traffic pattern. A southbound Railroad Ave. couldavoid right-of-way acquisition, should
the railroad crossarm hardware close part of the street.
Councilman..Naughten questioned whether additional right-of-way would be needed for the bus stop, and
Mr.,Sood said he thinks it is in the present right-of-way. Councilman Gould asked if the Washington
State .Ferry projects scheduled between 1979 and 1981 should be included as short-range projects.
Mr. Sood stated he would discuss this with Ralph White, Deputy General Manager of the Washington
State Ferries, and report back. .Councilman Gould stated that he feels approval should not be given
to those projects that involve property belonging to citizens.until they have an opportunity to .
express their thoughts. Mr. Sood..agreed and said they.would-be gi.ven an opportunity to discuss this
when the long=range projects are.presented to the Council.. COUNCILMAN NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED BY
COUNCILWOMAN ALLEN, TO APPROVE THE SHORT-RANGE PROJECTS BASED.ON ITEMS 1 AND 2 UNDER COMMUNITY
TRANSIT, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT ITEM 2 IS TO BE DONE IN THE PRESENT RIGHT-OF-WAY, AND ALSO TO

Planning Division Manager Mary Lou. Block informed the Council that application for this permit was
heard by the Planning Commission on September 10. In view.of the fact that the proposal was consistent
with the Edmonds Shorelines Master Plan and the Comprehensive Policy Plan, the Planning Commission
approved this permit, with the.condition of a covenant to allow.public access to the berm area
during.daylight hours. Ms. Block explained that this site.is.on the Edmonds waterfront, south of
the ferry.terminal, and has an -existing two-story manufacturing building on it. Presentuses of the
building.include a skin diving shop, refrigeration sales, and freight storage.. The.remodeled structure
Would be a 29,500 sq. ft., three -story,. -retail/ office/restaurant complex. The first floor would
have retail and service shops, mixed with covered parking; the second floor -would have offices and'a
rooftop, putting green;,and the third floor would have restaurant and office space: The building
will be terraced from the west down'to the east in stories. All required parking will be provided
•
on site (37 office, 23 restaurant, 5 retail) as well as.11 additional stalls for public use. Zoning
in the area is Commercial Waterfront.(CW). to the north and.south, Community Business (BC)•to -the
east, and Marine Resource'(MR) to the ,west. The site is designated as "Urban Environment"• in the
Edmonds Shorelines Master Program. Environmental impacts will not be significant in view of the
fact that site coverage will not.be increased, and traffic.and storm water w ill be handled adequately.
Ms.,Block.showed slides of the proposed,project. (Councilwoman Goetz arrived at this time.) The
public portion of the hearing was opened.
Bob Morrison, 250 Beach P1., asked.if..the bulkhead would remain in place, and Ms. Block answered
that nothing in that area would be changed.
Lem Everett, 403 3rd Ave. N., Co-Chai.rman of the Building Committee for the Senior Center, discussed
the
parking situation between the proposed complex and the.Senior Center. This matter will be
discussed further by City Staff and the Director of the Senior Center.

waterfront accessible to as many people as possible. He -stated that the parking stalls in front of
the building will be�available to the general public.dur.ing daylight hours with a possible four-hour
limit., Parking along the bulkhead will be back -in only.
Floyd Smith, 814 Dayton St., advised the City Staff not.to build steps down from the bulkhead to the
beach, as he,felt they could -not withstand a storm.

complex. Ms. Block

by the complex.

parking on the east side,of Railroad Ave. from Main to Dayton, and on the west side of Railroad St.
from Main to James, and to establish four-hour parking on the west.side of Railroad Ave: from Dayton
St. to Main St.
Councilman Gould expressed concern over where the people who have been using this parking will move
their cars, and Mr. Adams stated that there is ample space in the City parking lot. The public
portion of the hearing was opened.
Bob Morrison, 250 Beach P1., suggested that the four-hour limit be adopted for daytime hours only,
so that residents and visitors could utilize the waterfront for longer .periods of time at night. He
felt that most of the parking is utilized by ferry commuters.and that they should have to park
elsewhere. The public portion of this hearing.was closed.

HEARING TO ESTABLISH SMALL WORKS ROSTER
Public Works Director Fred Herzberg reported that the State legislature had enacted a new section to
the statutes governing the public works.contracts of code cities. This section allows code cities
with a population the size of Edmonds', to use a."small works roster" in awarding public works contracts
estimated at $30,000 or less.. This roster.must include all contractors who request that they be
listed on §d6k roster and who are licensed to do work in the State of Washington, if -there -is such a
license required. The City must invite .proposals from all "appropriate" contractors whenever the
contract is estimated to cost less than $30,000. The City's invitation must include a description
of the scope and nature of the work, as well as the materials and equipment required. The City is •
required "whenever possible" to invite at least one minority contractor otherwise qualified. And
the City must award the contract to the.lowest responsible bidder. Mr. Herzberg stated that use of
this roster -would eliminate the expensive and time-consuming process of advertising contracts.
Councilman Gould asked.how the list would-be established and updated, and City Engineer Jim Adams,
responded that the list would be made up of all contractors who previously had submitted -bids or
actually worked on contracts for the City. Also, various contractors' publications will be included
on the mailing list. Councilwoman Goetz expressed her concern over inclusion of minority contractors,
and Mr. Adams stated that they would make every attempt.to invite at least one minority contractor
to bid on each contract. Councilman Gould asked what criteria would be used to remove contractors
from the roster, and Mr. Herzberg replied that a.procedure will.be established for removal of those
contractors found not to be responsible or.those who, after having been awarded such a contract,
refuse to perform the same. He indicated that this does not happen very often. The public portion'
of the hearing was opened.
Bill Johnson, 704 Maple St., suggested that periodically projects be advertised to inform more
contractors, and Mr. Herzberg stated that most contractors belong to associations or clearinghouses
that will be included on the mailing list.. No.one else wished to speak on this matter, and the
hearing was closed. COUNCILMAN NORDQUIST.MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN KASPER, TO REAFFIRM ADOPTION
OF RESOLUTION 475, CREATING A SMALL WORKS.ROSTER, AND AUTHORIZING THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS TO
ESTABLISH SAID ROSTER AND PROMULGATE ALL NECESSARY RULES AND REGULATIONS.TO IMPLEMENT THE SAME.

AUDIENCE
John Beck., 405.5th S., wanted -to discuss.the cost of changing the location of the library,, but he
was told this was not -the appropriate time. The meeting.had,..been.moved to this special location
this -evening --to accommodate a great number of citizens interested.in one major issue and the intent
was to provide as much time for that issue as was necessary.. Another gentleman.in the audience,
•,
wished to discuss Sunset Ave. which has been another major issue, and he also was told this was not
the proper time.
HEARING ON PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT...ROLL, PROPOSED STREET.LID.ON SPRAGUE ST. BETWEEN
7TH AND 8TH
City Engineer Jim Adams reviewed..the.specifics' of the LID, after which the hearing was.opened to the
.public.
Bill Whiteside, 747 Sprague, said he -was the spokesman for.the minority property owners involved,
and that the
promoters of the L:ID..do..not face Sprague St..but the other property owners do, so if
there was going to be a street they felt itshould be a.pleasure to live on and that it should
enhance the properties on that street. Therefore they had prepared..a list -of amendments to the LID
which they asked to be incorporated,.the
major changes.being.widening_of the street to 32' and
including some other properties:wh.ich would benefit. Mr. Adams said the requested changes would
increase the cost by 65%-70%. He said .the.24' width was..a.street standard.and in. addition by making
the street wider a number of`large trees have be
would to removed.: Widening.the.street would also
increase.:runoff. He added that the boundaries of the.LID.cannot.be increased without starting from
the beginning. City Attorney Jim Murphy affirmed that.to expand.,the LID would necessitate starting.
over, and he noted that there
are very strict notice procedures required'by..State law.s'o to start
from the beginning would take 6-8 weeks, resulting in letting of -the contract,in the middle of
winter, an inappropriate time to lay asphalt.
Sproule McGinnesss 222*Sunset Ave., sa.id:he was representing the Harrises and himself who would be
for
paying a7ll of the water system.and..70%.of the rest of the assessment, and that they had petitioned
for a 24' wide street after;consulting....wi.th..the City Engineer. He
said that width street would
allow .18' for parking on either s.ide, and.with more.than:70% participation they would like to keep
the costs down as much as possible. The public-porti.on.of the hearing was closed. COUNCILWOMAN
ALLEN MOVED,'SECONDED BY COUNCILWOMAN.GOETZ,.TO'CONTINUE...TH.IS.HEARING
