City Attorney Wayne Tanake*',notedo'that,the,)Consultant Selection Ordinance requi,restthe'fo.rmalcse,lecti-oni--procedure-so:.no= action can be taken on this proposal until that procedure is accomplished.

MOTION CARRIED. Mr. Tanaka said the Mayor should ask the Staff to be sure proposals are solicited from other engineering firms. Councilmember Allen said she had asked last week for money from the Council to provide refreshments for the blood drawing held today, but she had not followed up and the Council did not provide the refreshments. The next drawing will be in December. Councilmember Hall noted that one member of the new Cemetery Board, Assistant Police Chief Dan Prinz, had not.been interviewed by the Council,'and she.felt.the Council should be consistent and interview all candidates or else waive the interviews entirely. Councilmember Nordquist suggested that the City begin a program of visitations by Staff members to other cities in the Puget Sound area to share approaches in doing things and extend friendship. He had discussed this idea with the Mayor. The Council agreed it would be a good idea. There was no further business to.come before the Council, and the meeting adjourned at 10:45 p.m. The Executive Session shown on the agenda was cancelled. :5;:2" eq��� - 7 Pd V RENE VARNEY MORAN, ty Clerk HARVE H.

MAYOR Mayor Pro tem Kasper stated that -Mayor Harrison had made arrangements for Pastor Bob Gordon of Christ Lutheran Church to address the Council regarding some.proposed senior citizen housing, so the Pastor was invited to speak. He said they wish to use some property adjacent to their church for a retirement home for low income elderly people, and the property is adequate for 34 units. They have incorporated under the name Shalom Lutheran Residence, and they are applying to HUD for funding of the units. Two of the items they must include in the application are (1) support of community leaders and (2) an indication from the City as to the percentage of units that must be wheelchair accessible. He asked for the Council's support, although the church is not within the City limits • 47 3. • July 13, 1982 - continued of Edmonds.

THAT THE MAYOR BE REQUESTED TO.WRITE A LETTER IN SUPPORT OF THE EFFORTS OF CHRIST LUTHERAN CHURCH TO PROVIDE HOUSING FOR THE ELDERLY AND ALL THE FACILITIES TO MAKE THAT FORM OF HOUSING SATISFACTORY FOR THAT AGE LEVEL, AND IF THERE IS ANYTHING THE CITY OF EDMONDS CAN DO TO SUPPORT THE HUD ASPECT IT WILL BE HAPPY TO DO.SO; AND FURTHER, THE CITY OF EDMONDS SUPPORTS THE STATE STANDARDS IN THE NUMBER OF UNITS REQUIRED TO BE MODIFIED FOR HANDICAPPED"PERSONS. MOTION CARRIED. MEETING WITH PETITIONERS FOR PROPOSED ANNEXATION OF 212TH AND HIGHWAY 99 (COPYMART) and MEETING WITH PETITIONERS FOR PROPOSED ANNEXATION OF.240TH AREA (THE GREENERY) COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER GOULD, TO OPEN DISCUSSION OF THESE ITEMS TO THE PETITIONERS. MOTION CARRIED. Planning Director Mary..Lou Block said the City had received two petitions for annexation; and.she identified the location of each on vicinity maps. The City Clerk had provided a certificate of validity and sufficiency of the petitions. Ms. Block noted that both areas fall within the Highway 99 study area, and she called attention to a memorandum from the Engineering Department outlining the status of utilities and roads. She noted that utilities are adequate. She had received a letter from The Greenery saying they could not have a representative present this evening and asking for a continuance to August 17, 1982. Discussion then was on the Copymart site. City Engineer Jim Adams recommended that the Copymart annexation include the west half of Highway 99, which he said had been discussed with the Boundary Review Board. He said that would be better for police enforcement, but the current Boundary Review Board policy is to take only to the boundary of the property. No one in the audience wished to speak on the Copymart annexation. COUNCILMEMBER GOULD MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, TO ACCEPT THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION, • INCLUDING THE WEST HALF OF HIGHWAY 99 CONTIGUOUS TO THE PROPERTY; 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 ASSESSMENTS 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 PROPOSED ZONING REGULATIONS BE REQUIRED. MOTION CARRIED. Nobody wished to speak about The Greenery petition for annexation. COUNCILMEMBER HALL MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER ALLEN, TO CONTINUE THIS ITEM TO AUGUST 17, 1982. MOTION CARRIED. DISCUSSION ON SUNSET AVE. PARKING Mayor Pro tem Kasper stated that the Sunset Ave. Committee and the Edmonds Coterie were invited to this discussion. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO OPEN THIS DISCUSSION TO THE PUBLIC. MOTION CARRIED. Dave Crow, 348 Sunset, asked'to hear the Council's views before taking public comment. Councilmember Gould then discussed what had been done in the past to try to control the activities on Sunset Ave., and he said the temporary planters were the result of some suggestions. He noted that the Coterie had written a letter, as well as some other citizens, saying the parking should be returned to its original configuration, but the residents have indicated they want the new configuration kept. Mr. Crow responded that only approximately 1,500'.of Sunset Ave. is involved and an.attempt is being made to accommodate all of Edmonds, Lynnwood, and others in that 1,500'. He said only a few cars can park at Brackett's Landing and at the Dayton St. Park, but there is 800' of parking available at the Union Oil Beach. Fred Hedges, 376 Sunset, said the test islands have improved the situation by 50% and there has been a 30% - 50% increase in families and adults using the area.. He thought the City to be better served • with those islands because they break up the groups of parties, and he added that there is a better group of people there also. He had mingled and talked with them so he was sure of that. Iry Pinard, 344.Sunset, said the residents do not care if good citizens go down to see the viewbut it is the young people with loud music who primarily go down there. He said the test islands had proven to be successful because the young people like to run in packs and only three cars can park there now, and then they have to get out of their cars to join their friends. He said it is far from perfect, but it has improved greatly. He would not object to diagonal parking there. Donna White, 346 Sunset, asked that the planter boxes remain, saying since they have been installed there have been more families and older people going down to enjoy the area. She said she had lived in this area all her life.and when she was a teenager and cruised they never went to Sunset because the police in this town are notorious for cracking down on young people. 'She said it had been very nice this summer and she expressed thanks for the installation of the planter boxes. Edith Wicker, 386 Sunset, said there are still places where they can park near Main St. but the young people do not park there because they cannot see the police coming as well She said there is a better mix of people using Sunset now and it is much better. Darrell Johnson, a young man from Mountlake Terrace, said he had lived in Edmonds on the water, and he remembered Sunset as being quiet. He asked when the problem started, and he said he used to cruise also and when you close one place the cruisers will go somewhere else. Councilmember Naughten responded that young peopleare welcome everywhere if they are good citizens. Councilmember Gould added that the question came up previously as to where the young folks would go and the Council recognizes that young folks need to have things to do. He noted that the Council has provided playfields, the Boys' Club, a new library, entertainment, and activities, but the young people have to be mindful of the rights of the people in the neighborhood. Councilmember Kasper noted that at the same time that..the islands were installed.they also increased the number of police and extended the hours of the parks, so any one or all of those could have • helped alleviate the problem at Sunset. July 13, 1982 - cont�i:nued • Mr. Crow asked what kind of arrangement the City has with Burlington.Northern for the use of the property next to Sunset as a park. No one present knew the exact terms for the use of the grassy strip adjacent to Sunset. Robert Berger, 19024 83rd W., a member of the Sunset Ave. committee, said he lives near both Sierra Park and Seaview Park and he also.hears loud noises from ball games, etc., but that is something that happens when you live near a park.. He noted that wherever cruisers have been it has been closed, such as Golden Gardens; Colby Ave., etc., but he noted that a small part of Golden Gardens has reopened and possibly more will. He felt the problem should not be sent elsewhere, noting that the problem came here when Colby closed. He referred to the 80/20 rule, saying 20% of the problem causers create the illusion that 100% of the cruisers are a problem, especially when they are younger. He said he had cruised all the famous cruising spots in the northwest, so it is not new to this area. He commented on the emptiness of Union Oil Beach, saying forcing people out of their cars will not solve the problem,.but will only keep the park empty. He added that part of the youngsters' growing up and social thing is their contact with their vehicle. Herb Wright, 400 Sunset, sai.d one of the most severe problems on Sunset is the noise level, and that he has not had the windows open in his home all summer. He said he is leaving that area because his tolerance level for noise is too low. Penny gohnson, Edmonds, asked why Union.Oil Beach was closed. She was told that it has reopened. Roger Hertrich, 1020 Puget Dr., discussed the situation from the point of view of a pedestrian, and he suggested an asphalt walkway .to provide a place for people to walk and also a place for walking patrolmen, creating a space that people are not legally able to block. He thought that would get more people out and they could really see the water. He also suggested some benches should be • provided for sitting. Shelly Wallace, Edmonds, said there is a sidewalk on the other side. She had tried to walk on the grassy strip and said it is very narrow in places. She said the reason the young people do not go to Union Oil Beach is because they do not want to part with their cars, and they would rather stay in their cars and look at.the beach. She recognized that there are rude young people at Sunset, and she asked if the noise is not louder since they have reduced the parking. Eleanor Jones, one of the members of the committee, said she does not live in the Sunset Ave. area. Her concern was that the street be kept open. She said when the sun sets there are people on the grass looking at the sunset. Her idea when she joined the committee was to reopen the area for parking and have the police really given power. The committee had formulated the idea of cutting down on the parking. She found it difficult to park with the current configuration -of the planters and thought two -fifths of the parking was a lot to eliminate. She did not think the cruising itself was so much of the problem, and she thought the cruising to be kind of fun, but she thought there must be something in the police manuals to say that you do not have to put up with someone who is obnoxious. She thought the idea.of a walkway was excellent. Cecelia Leyda, 342 Sunset, resented the publicity that has indicated that the Sunset Ave. residents want everybody off the street and want to keep it all to themselves. She said all they want is for the street to be open for all people to enjoy, and she resented being put in a defensive position. She realizes that all young people are not rowdy and they do not all use foul language. She said they have tried to work.with the. City Council and the police, and,that has been reciprocal. She said they are trying to solve a problem that is a problem of the whole community. She added that she understands what wheels mean to young people and that the neighborhood wants to work with the young people and the police to keep Edmonds a good place to live. A question was asked as to the status of the grassy area adjacent to.Sunset Ave. and Parks and • Recreation Director Steve Simpson said it is City owned property that the City can use as it sees fit, and it is listed as a view area in the list of parks. Planning Director Mary Lou Block said she believed the City has an agreement with Burlington Northern for maintenance of the property for public use. Councilmember Naughten said he had lived on Sunset for 15 years and it was always a nice place to go and see the water., and no one present would want to put up with the abuses that now go on in that neighborhood. He said cruising is not the problem, it is the people parking and not being good citizens. He said he does not like the planters but he dislikes the problems there even more and unless a real commitment to law enforcement is made he felt the planters had to remain, as well as the one-way streets and parking restrictions. He thought diagonal parking should be con- sidered -because it would reduce the. -number of parkers, and he felt as many people as possible should be able to enjoy Sunset. Councilmember Kasper thought the parking had been cut down too much but he said it certainly had alleviated the problem. Councilmember Gould observed that the results of the test generally are that the planters are fairly well accepted, families are able to use the viewing_ area, some citizens have come back, and it is a controlled atmosphere. He was concerned about the young folks but he did not want to give up what had been gained. He thought the Staff should be asked to do some investigating on the layout to look for something more attractive and possibly to make the parking more attractive. Councilmember Hall suggested that.the Sunset Committee meet with Ms. Block and look into more use of Dayton St. Park, a sidewalk, and more benches, and then perhaps the size of the planters could be reduced. She thought the Council could look at it again in the winter. She also asked .to see the agreement with Burlington Northern. Councilmember Gould sug- gested that the Student Representative who joins the Council in the fall might take on the project of working with the committee to work on the viewpoint of the young people. Councilmember Jaech noted that the majority of comments had been that the planter boxes are ugly, and she noted that the railroad ties were donated`so money -would not be spent on something that would be removed. She suggested a combination of a sidewalk and planter, curved so one can get out of parking easily but not so deep. She thought the sidewalk could meander through the planters. Regarding the committee, Ms. Block said it included seven residents., two of which were students who did not attend because they went away to school, and three of the remaining five live on Sunset. r-I LJ 475 • July 13, 1982 - continued There also are three Staff members. $he.thqught i�t..a, good idea.to have a responsible student on the committee. COUNCILMEMBER ALLEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER GOULD., TEAT THE COMMITTEE BE ASKED TO REPORT TO THE COUNCIL ON OCTOBER 12, 1982. MOTION CARRIED. REVIEW PROGRESS REGARDING STAFF OBJECTIVES Councilmember Nordquist said the Council had received the goals from.the Staff but some of them have been changed. He preferred that the department heads take the goals that they established on January 27 and correlate.them with those of July 9, and then he said the,Council would have a better way of evaluating their effectiveness as department heads as well as goal setters: Councilmember Hall did not believe the Council should be reviewing the goals. She thought it good that the Council be apprised but said this is an administrative function and she was not prepared to sit in judgment. She thought it was a good checkpoint and a good report, but she said it was between the department heads and the Mayor. Councilmember Allen responded that the Council is not sitting in judgment,.but they°just want to know what progress has been made. Councilmember Gould said he had asked for this report and he had read it very carefully. He said it is important to him to receive the information, and he thanked the Staff. He had picked up several items which he marked for the 1983 budget. He said he did have some questions and sometime would like to have some discussion,.and perhaps the Council could give the Staff some guidelines on goal setting, what the objectives should be, what the format should be to be effective, etc. He did not object to discussing this at another time. He noted that at almost every retreat long-range goals for the City had been discussed, and his primary interest was to see -the Staff goals focus in on the Council's long-range goals. Councilmember Nordquist did not think he was establishing a report card system and said it is just nice to know what the departments are doing, and he was asking whether they had looked at their January 27.,rep.b t. He said it is a record keeping system within their own departments. COUNCILMEMBER ALLEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER GOULD, TO PLACE THIS ITEM ON THE AUGUST 10, 1982 AGENDA. MOTION CARRIED, WITH COUNCILMEMBER HALL VOTING NO. • STAFF REPORT ON CONCESSION OPERATION AND BID PROCEDURE Parks and Recreation Director Steve Simpson said this item was the result of an incident when the fishing pier concessionaire wanted to transfer her lease to another party. She -changed her mind but it came to light that a procedure was needed. He said State law does not give specific guidelines for choosing a concessionaire.. He did not think small concessionaire contracts should have to go through a bidding procedure but could be advertised or notices given to obtain a sufficient number of proposals to convince the Proposal Review Committee that the City has a reliable bidder and a responsible proposal. Concession contracts of more than two years' length and having an estimated gross sales of $25,000 or more per year would require a request for proposal advertised as a legal announcement by the City at least 14 days prior to the City's consideration of the proposals. The Concession Proposal Review Committee would be made up of the Finance Director, Supervisor of Buildings and Grounds, Planning Director, and Parks and Recreation Director. Proposals would be evaluated by the committee and sent to the PAB for selection at a regular meeting. (Evaluation criteria for proposals and guidelines for concession proposals were provided.) The City Council would authorize the Mayor to accept the concession proposal, or return the recommendation to the PAB or the committee with comments for further evaluation. The contract would be negotiated after the proposal is authorized by.the City Council and accepted by the Mayor. Mr:.Simpson was asked the rationale for sending the proposal to the PAB for approval, and he responded that.the PAB replaces the Park Board which in the past would have done such a review, so he thought it would be appropriate that the PAB do the review. Councilmember Allen was concerned about liability if the small contracts did not go to bid. Council - member Gould suggested that the committee make their recommendation to the City Council instead of the PAB. He was concerned.about the limitation on the length of the contract. There was some discussion as .to whether the procedures should be set.forth in a formal document, and then COUNCIL- MEMBER JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER GOULD, TO INSTRUCT THE CITY ATTORNEY TO DRAFT A PROPOSED RESOLUTION FOR CONSIDERATION BY THE COUNCIL, TO BE PRESENTED AT THE AUGUST 10, 1982 MEETING. MOTION CARRIED. • REPORT FROM CITY ENGINEER REGARDING SR 524 PROJECT City Engineer Jim Adams said the State had made some adjustments to their design as set forth in the report provided the Council. The original plans show a 3% super elevation at 9th Ave. and Caspers St. This was changed by the DOT to match the existing super elevation which may be less.than 3%, but the DOT feels they have the right to make changes in their own contracts, provided such changes result in a suitable product and are based on sound engineering judgment. The Engineering staff feels i t would be difficult to prov, 'deeenough supers=_el errata:orr,�.to ,3haveza�suff oi-enteeffect on turning .traffic without adversely affecting other aspects of the intersection such as access approaches and channelization. They have driven through this intersection without experiencing problems when driving at the legal speed. The intersection and adjacent roadway were observed immediately following recent heavy rains, and no standing water was observed at or near the intersection, so any existing reduction in cross -slope does not appear to present a maintenance problem. Mr. Adams said the paving and concrete work appear to be very well done, and the design probably is sufficient. He said the base is concrete of about 8" in thickness and it is probably the best road in Edmonds now. He did not know the thickness of the asphalt. Councilmember Nordquist asked Mr. Adams to follow through on the three questions previously asked (whether the slope of the road is in the curve as it was desianed or if it has been flattened, whether the asphalt is thick enough; and whether the crown on the road is riaht),' and Councilmember Gould asked that the super elevation at 9th and Caspers be checked. Mayor Pro tem Kasper said a letter is being written to the DOT, asking them to come to a Council meeting to answer questions on this. COUNCIL Councilmember Jaech referred to a letter from Community Transit regarding initiation of a passenger - only ferry service between Edmonds and Port Townsend. Community Transit had written the Transporta- tion Commission requesting that they conduct a market survey to determine if a need exists and urged that the the City of Edmonds do the same. Councilmember Jaech thought this should be discussed to determine if a letter should be sent. Councilmember Nordquist said he would bring it up at the next • Community Transit board meeting. July 13, 1982 - continued • * Councilmember Allen had been contacted by Peggy Harris who will be out of town at the time of the Sprague St. LID final hearing and she wants to be sure the Council reads the letters she has written them on that subject. COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, TO PLACE ON NEXT WEEK'S AGENDA CONSIDERATION OF27HE OFFER BY RICHARD AND JOYCE SPRAGUE TO PURCHASE LOT 16, BLOCK 37, CITY OF EDMONDS. MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Kasper said he would like to know the assessed valuations -- the last appraisal and the 1983 appraisal. Councilmember Nordquist noted the death of Owen Stanley. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN, THAT THE CITY COUNCIL EXTEND CONDOLENCES TO MRS. OWEN STANLEY. MOTION CARRIED. Mayor Pro tem Kasper discussed plans for the Council/Staff retreat and advised of several out-of- town locations that are available, noting that most of the Council preferred to go out of town. Most appeared to favor the Batelle Institute. The proposed team building session will be included and that will follow with a session with the Staff in early 1983. There was no further business to.come before the Council, and the meeting adjourned to Executive Session at 10:30 p.m. _2 r JV-1-4v IRENE VARNEY MORAN, ity Clerk HARVE H. HARRISON, Mayor July 20, 1982 The regular meeting of the Edmonds City Council was called to order at 7:35 p.m. by Mayor Harve Harrison in the Council Chambers of the Edmonds Civic Center. All present joined in the flag salute. PRESENT STAFF PRESENT Harve Harrison, Mayor Jim Adams, City Engineer Bill Kasper Jack Mitchell, Public Works Superintendent Laura Hall Mary Lou Block, Planning Director Jo -Anne Jaech Jeff Ristau, Accountant Ray Gould Dan Prinz, Police Chief Larry Naughten Jack Weinz, Fire Chief John Nordquist Wayne Tanaka, City Attorney Katherine Allen Mark Eames, City Attorney Jackie Parrett, Deputy City Clerk CONSENT AGENDA Items (B) and (D) were removed from the Consent Agenda. COUNCILMEMBER GOULD MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO APPROVE THE BALANCE OF THE CONSENT AGENDA. MOTION CARRIED. The approved items on the Consent Agenda included the following: (A) Roll call. (C) Acknowledgment of receipt of Claim for Damages.from Mrs. Beulah Rierson in the amount of • $3,000. (E) Mid -year financial status report. (F) Authorization for informal sale of Unit 29 (1969 Dodge Dart). APPROVAL OF.MINUTES OF JULY 13, 1982 [Item.(B) on Consent Agenda] Councilmember Hall noted that on page 6 of the Minutes, the third paragraph, it was she who had been contacted by Peggy Harris, rather than Councilmember Allen. COUNCILMEMBER HALL MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER GOULD, TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF JULY 13, 1982 WITH THAT CORRECTION, APPROVING ITEM (B) ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. MOTION CARRIED. AUTHORIZATION FOR MAYOR TO SIGN UNION OIL CITY OF EDMONDS BEACH LEASE Item D on.Consent Agenda Councilmember Allen had no problem with this but she thought this would be a good time to ask publicly about the parking situation there, i.e., when will the additional parking be provided. Since no representative of the Parks and Recreation Department was present, Councilmember Allen asked for a report next week as to the timing (not to be an agenda item). Robert Woehrmann of the Union Oil Company was asked his opinion of the City's development of the beach, and he responded that a fine.job of landscaping had been done. COUNCILMEMBER ALLEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER GOULD, TO APPROVE ITEM (D) ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. MOTION'CARRIED. Mayor Harrison thanked the Union Oil representatives on behalf of the City for leasing the beach to the City for only $300 per year. It is a, five-year lease. *See correction 7/20/82
