19820810 City Council Minutes• August 3, 1982 - continued
COUNCIL
Councilmember Nordquist referred to an article in last Wednesday's Seattle Times about a park for
the blind being developed in Bothell, and he suggested that the Parks and Recreation Director invite
the Bothell officials to visit Sierra Park in Edmonds. Councilmember Nordquist said that after the
Council met with the PAB last week he had received some feedback and found the PAB was disappointed
in the environment of the meeting. They had anticipated an around -the -table work meeting and were
uncomfortable with the way the meeting was held. THEREFORE, COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED
BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, TO HAVE ANOTHER MEETING WITH THE PAB, IN WORKSHOP FORMAT, ON SEPTEMBER 28,
1982, AND THAT THE AGENDA BE CLOSED TO OTHER ITEMS. Councilmember Naughten said he hoped there
would be some structure to the meeting. MOTION CARRIED. COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED BY
COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, ON AUGUST 24, 1982 TO ESTABLISH SOME GOALS AND PARAMETERS FOR THE MEETING
WITH THE PAB SO THE PAB KNOWS WHAT THE COUNCIL IS TRYING TO DO. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilmember Nordquist said he had been asked how he felt about Katie Allen who is running for the
legislature and he could not say in print but he would say in public that in the years he has worked
with her she is not always right --and she is more times wrong --but he wants the record to show when
she does her work she does it well, and she has been an attribute to the Council and did an excellent
job as Council President. He said he has enjoyed working with her and she has done a good job.
Councilmember Hall said Jerry Ward had called her to report that the Arts Commission was not satisfied
with the model of the sculpture for the library, so they will pursue another artist and it may be
June before there is an art piece in place. Councilmember Kasper said he had always felt that the
building should be there first.
Councilmember Gould requested a Public Works/Engineering meeting prior to the City Council meeting
• of August 17, 1982 (which t-,fill include-Councilmembers Kasper and Gould and the appropriate Staff).
.Councilmember Naughten advised that he will be absent August 10, 1982. Councilmember Kasper also
will be absent from that meeting.
Mayor Harrison noted that he had proposed establishment of a new position, Property Manager, at an
E-7 classification, to be placed in the Finance Department. He said the City has gradually built a
larger and larger plant to the point that it is urgent" that there be a Property Manager. At the
same time, he intended abolishing the position of Recreation Administrator in the Parks and Recreation
Department, so there will be no increase in Staff. COUNCILMEMBER ALLEN MOVED,.SECONDED BY COUNCIL -
MEMBER KASPER, TO APPROVE THE MAYOR'S RECOMMENDATION. Councilmember Gould asked why it was to be
placed under the Finance Director, and Mayor Harrison said he thought the Finance Department was the
most appropriate, although the person will be working throughout the City, Some concerns were
expressed about the placement -of this position in the Finance Department, but it was agreed to try
it. THE MOTION CARRIED.
Regarding the retreat, Councilmember Kasper asked for Staff input on the agenda. He said it had
been recommended that the PAB come to the breakfast on Saturday and for an hour thereafter because
long-range planning will be discussed. In view of the September 28 meeting scheduled this evening.
with the PAB, it was thought it not necessary that they attend a portion of the retreat. The agenda
of the retreat was discussed, and Councilmember Kasper said he must know in advance of those who
intend staying overnight.
Councilmember Kasper said the Council is getting the PAB minutes too late, and he had only read the
minutes last Friday which he should have seen before the meeting with the PAB.
There was no further business to come before the Council, and the meeting adjourned at 10:55 p.m.

CONSENT AGENDA
COUNCILMEMBER GOULD MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER ALLEN, TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA. MOTION
CARRIED. The approved items on the Consent Agenda included the following:
(A) Roll call.
(B) Approval of Minutes of August 3, 1982.
(C) Adoption of Ordinance 2316, transferring $4,000 to Council Contingency Fund from General
Fund.
(D) Approval of SNOCOM supplemental assessment.

MAYOR
Mayor Harrison said a petition had been received from 24 people who expressed concerns about the
noise and littering recently associated with the Elm Club which meets at the Anderson Center. A
large number of people were in the audience regarding this. Inasmuch as this was a work meeting
with no audience participation, COUNCILMEMBER GOULD MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO ALLOW
AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION FOR THIS ITEM. MOTION CARRIED. Allen Clark, 806 Dayton, read aloud a letter
which had been sent to the Elm Club expressing the concerns of the neighborhood. The major complaints
were of loud noises from motorcycles and automobiles, along with shouting, continuing all night into
the very early morning hours. Also, much trash from food and drinks had been strewn in the streets
and yards, and it was alleged that some people were sleeping in their cars overnight. Mr. Clark •
asked the Council to consider how such activity would be accepted in their neighborhoods.
Don Gibbons, a member and manager of the Elm Club, read aloud a letter from the Police Department
illustrating some of the beneficial work the club accomplishes in helping people with problems
associated with alcohol abuse. In the cited instance E1m.Club members had assisted the police with
a suicidal, intoxicated woman, taking control of the situation when the woman refused to talk with
police. Mr. Gibbons said he had walked the streets for many years because he had no home, but in
the past 38 1/2 months he had tried to make something of his life, and the Elm Club is some place
where they can go to socialize and to have their meetings which are crucial to their recovery from
alcoholism, and it keeps them off the streets and out of bars. He said they are well aware of the
problems that exist in the neighborhood, but they feel they are part of the community also and would
like to get control of the'problems., He noted that the problems had arisen since the construction
of the new library because the parking facilities which used to be available to them off the streets
have been taken away and they now have to park on the street. He thought the noise problem already
had diminished somewhat, and he said they have asked the Anderson Center to provide outside trash
containers. He was not aware of the problem of people sleeping in their cars, but he said he would
bring that to the attention of the rest of the board members and the membership, and he said they
would do all they could to cooperate with the families in that -area. The hours of the club are such
that any time a member is in trouble someone will be available to him or her. He personally had
been called out on one occasion at 2:00 a.m. and talked to a person until 4:00 a.m, at the Elm Club
facility, and he said they must have the facility available at all times in order to be available
when needed, and that they would do their best to cooperate. Most of the Councilmembers were not
familiar with the activities of the Elm Club and they questioned him regarding the Club's meetings.
He said they have 43 meetings a week, with 30-40 members attending each meeting, and they have Al
Anon and young people's meetings. They are an incorporated, nonprofit organization, registered
with the State, and self-supporting. Councilmember Gould asked that he provide the Council with a
copy of their organizational papers, charter, list of officers, and meeting schedule. Councilmember
Hall said she had investigated their program, as well as the problems of the neighborhood, and she •
said the Elm Club provides a community need but the problems must be solved, and she hoped this
would be the start of a cooperative effort between the Elm Club and the neighbors. Mr. Gibbons
invited any interested person to visit the Elm Club.
Parks and Recreation Director Steve Simpson said the use of the Elm Club has increased along
with everything else in recent years,.but there were no problems for 2 of the.2 1/2 years they
have been in the Anderson Center. He thought things could be worked out with the Elm Club and the
neighborhood, and he said the City has to bear some of the responsibility for.what has happened
there because of the parking situation. He said parking extends as far as two blocks away on some
evenings because of the Anderson Center activities, but some of the parking problems will be alle-
viated when the library construction is completed. He thought the Elm Club to be of value to the
community, and given the nature of their meetings he would not.like to see them have to close by
10:00 p.m., but he said some of their activities could be restricted.. Mr. Gibbons said it had
been proposed that the south entrance'be locked so the members will not be entering from Dayton St.,
but he said they have meetings seven nights a week which start at 10:30 p.m. and on Fridays and
Saturdays they have some starting at midnight, so he did not want their hours curbed. He was
confident that a lot of the problems would be eliminated when the parking becomes available below
the new library.
Alyce Johanson, 203 7th Ave. S., vividly described the late -night noises from the cars, motorcycles,
and voices, saying it is impossible to sleep because of them.
Janet Chapman,-830 Dayton, saidshe has had to move to the basement of their home in order to be
able to sleep. She had been awakened at 3:00 and 4:00 a.m., and she complained about the motor-
cycles which are noisy and the riders yelling to each other over the sound of the motorcycles.
Joe Wermus, 752 Dayton, said he had been very optimistic and had tried talking to the staff and the
club officer. He really did not think anyone had any control over -the membership. He said the
neighbors had bent over backwards for the Elm Club members and believed the services of this organization
• August 10, 1982 - continued
were very worthwhile. He dial not think. this type.of grpni:W on to 4e.comPdt tle with a. residential
neighborhood, however, and,he said it is driving the residents away. He did not see.how a group
could be allowed after 10:00 p.m. with motorcycles, and he said it sounds like they are harrassing
the neighbors with their motorcycles. He felt something had to be done internally.
Floyd Smith, 814 Dayton, said almost every night he is awakened at 2:00, 3:00, and 4:00 a.m. by the
roar of motorcycles and cars, and they not only awaken him but they make his house shake. He agreed
that this is a needed organization but asked why they have to roar up the hill. He felt better
control is needed.
Mayor Harrison thought the club should be closed at some reasonable hour, and he recommended that
all activities cease at 10:30 p.m. Councilmember Gould thought that should be done immediately and
until such time as the Elm Club can demonstrate to the Council an action plan that shows they can
meet and perform their services.and still be good neighbors. He thought the people involved must
realize that they have to be good citizens. He asked if anything had taken place in the club's
function to cause this problem in the last two months.
Audrey Turner, 840 Dayton, said in the last two months the street has been littered, and that she
had not known what the club was until two months ago. She felt that the people who are now attending
on their motorcycles are the problem. Police Chief Marlo Foster said the problem he is having is
that the incidents are occurring on weekends and holidays and he cannot have people sitting there to
watch the Elm Club all night because of other police activities, but the police will continue to
work on it. He said the club members have to know if they do not police themselves they will lose
the facility.
Councilmember Nordquist asked if any effort had been made to find another location for the club.
Mr. Gibbons said they had.made some inquiries but nothing had materialized so far. Councilmember
Gould noted .that in Everett.they had handled it ,through industry, businesses having offered meeting
•
places. Councilmember Hall noted that this is a drop -in type of facility, with davenports, games,
etc., not just a meeting room. Councilmember Nordquist.thought the City should try to help them
find another place to meet. Mr. Simpson said the club has had some financial problems in the last
six months and the Anderson Center is considering making some arrangements for services in payment
of part of their rent. Councilmember Jaech recognized that this is a needed service, but she said
most organizations of this type are located in commercial areas because of the traffic to their
.activities. She agreed that people need their sleep at night in order to function, and she said the
lack of parking has not caused the.increased sound as the cars still have to come and go, wherever
they may park. She thought a solution would be to find another place to meet which does not impact
a residential area, and she suggested the old Go 'N Joy site on 212th. Mr. Gibbons said it would
not be large enough.
Councilmember Nordquist suggested that a letter be written to the South County Chamber of Commerce,
asking them if they will help to work this out by finding a facility for the club. Mr. Gibbons said
he would start working on this immediately after this meeting, telling the members if the noise is
not kept down they will not have a home. He asked the.Council's indulgence for a short time so he
.
could discuss this with the members, and particular l,y:•wi:th-'.:the: bikers. He was asked to come back
next week. COUNCILMEMBER GOULD THEN.MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, THAT THE COUNCIL CLOSE
THE ANDERSON CENTER TO THE ELM CLUB AT 10:30 P.M., EFFECTIVE NEXT TUESDAY NIGHT, AUGUST 17, 1982,
UNLESS THE ORGANIZATION IS ABLE TO COME FORWARD WITH SATISFACTORY EVIDENCE THAT THE ACTIVITY IS
UNDER CONTROL AND THAT THEY CAN BE GOOD NEIGHBORS. Councilmember Nordquist said he would vote
against the motion because he thought it should be closed at 10:30 p.m. indefinitely. Councilmember
Gould responded that this problem is just like that of Sunset --there is a facility that can be used
by the people but the City will not let it be improperly used, so controls must be put on it, and he
said.this action will give them a very strong message to take back to the club. Councilmember Hall
suggested that all of the Council visit the facility as she had done. THE MOTION CARRIED, WITH
COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST.VOTING NO. COUNCILMEMBER GOULD THEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL,
THAT A LETTER SUCH AS HAD BEEN RECOMMENDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST BE WRITTEN AND FORWARDED BY
•"
THE MAYOR.TO THE SOUTH COUNTY CHAMBER OF'COMMERCE. MOTION CARRIED. A recess was announced.
1
The meeting reconvened at 9:00 p.m. Mayor Harrison then nominated Pat LeMay for the position of
Personnel Director and asked for confirmation by the Council. Mr. LeMay was selected from a group
of 92'applicants, 14 having been interviewed. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
ALLEN, TO DISCUSS THIS IN EXECUTIVE SESSION AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE AGENDA. MOTION CARRIED, WITH
COUNCILMEMBER HALL VOTING NO.
REPORT ON DOWNTOWN PARKING CONCEPT AND HOW IT IS WORKING
Planning Director Mary Lou Block had provided a written report indicating that the concept appears
to be working satisfactorily and that several merchants had expressed satisfaction with the results
and no negative comments had been received. She reported that members of the Downtown Parking
Committee are pleased with the concept as an interim solution, but they.continue to believe that a
long-term solution is a public parking facility. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL -
MEMBER JAECH, TO ACCEPT THE REPORT. Councilmember Allen noted that the Planning Director had
indicated that they would like authority to make this permanent. Councilmember Nordquist said that
is an in-house problem. THE MOTION CARRIED.
DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED RESOLUTION FOR'PROPOSED ALLEY VACATION BETWEEN SPRAGUE AND DALEY, FROM
7TH TO 8TH AVES.
City Engineer Jim Adams said that in their program to improve Shell Creek between Sprague and Daley
west of 8th Ave. they had contacted the property owners because they needed easements for the con-
struction, and in discussions with those people they suggested that the City vacate the subject
alley in exchange for the easements the people would be giving, and he had said he would present
this matter to the Council. All of the property owners had given the easements and the City has all
the necessary easements for the construction. He was now requesting that the Council consider the
vacation of the alley. He showed the location on a vicinity -map and said the City has no need for
11
August 10, 1982 - continued •
the alley, most of it being very wet and.part of it being on a cliff. He said there are no utilities
there and none would ever be put there because of the conditions. 'He recommended passage of the
proposed resolution initiating vacation of this right-of-way, which action would set up a hearing to
consider the matter. He said any future undergrounding would go down the side of the street, rather
than -through this alley. COUNCILMEMBER HALL MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER ALLEN, TO PASS RESOLU-
TION 531, INITIATING THE VACATION OF THE SUBJECT ALLEY. MOTION CARRIED.
REVIEW 6-YEAR TRANSPORTATION PLAN
City Engineer Jim Adams and Street Division Supervisor Bobby Mills were present to answer questions.
Mr. Adams said there had been some question from the Council as to whether all areas in the City
were getting equal treatment as far as street improvements, so -he displayed a map of the City
showing all the streets overlayed from 1970 to 1980, and he also distributed lists of those streets.
He identified priority projects as sidewalks on SR 524 as previously discussed, improvement of
Dayton St. from SR 104 to 6th Ave., realignment of roadway on Olympic View Dr. to.eliminate a
dangerous curve, improving Meadowdale Beach Rd. (which may include some neighborhood participation),
and installation of another access road to Shell Valley (Pioneer Way, from Main St. to Shell Valley
Rd.). He recommended that the plan be kept as it is and to look at it during budget hearings. He
also recommended that the overlay program in the Meadowdale area be delayed for a year because of
the sewer work that wi 11 be .don6e< there �Ai ch`W* i 11 `requi re:. teari ng up .the' streets. . Mr: Mi 11 s
described some of the street improvements which have been accomplished. Councilmember Gould sug-
gested that the map be kept for the budget discussions, and he commented that they will want to be
sure that the priorities are correct.
REVIEW OF STAFF GOALS
Mayor Harrison stated that the Staff as a whole will be putting together a list of general priority .
goals that they feel are important, and that the Council could expect them at the retreat. Coun-
cilmember Nordquist stated that the reason this was on the agenda was because some of the goals
stated in July were not those set in January. He thought goal setting should be a subject at one of
the retreats to look at how to set goals inasmuch as some of the items stated were "happenings"
rather than goals. He said there should be a target and an.outline as to how to get there. He
thought the Council should work with the department heads to estabish their goals. Councilmember
Hall disagreed, saying as a policy setting position it was all right, but not putting the goals
down. Councilmember Gould said he had read through the goals very thoroughly, and to some extent he
thought Councilmember Nordquist's suggestion was a good one because it would do everyone good to
learn goal setting. His vision of goal setting is to have an overall direction set through long-
range planning for the City at the Council level, and he believed that to make that happen there
must be goals that go in that direction, and they should not be routine reporting of ordinary work,
but some special challenge --something not a part of the day-to-day.job. He thought they somewhat do
that in retreats anyway. He thought some Council goals should be established and that would help
the Staff, so he suggested that it be kept in mind.
PROPOSED RESOLUTION REGARDING CONCESSION OPERATION AND BID PROCEDURE
Parks and Recreation Director Steve Simpson said the proposed.resolution incorporated.the suggestions
made by the City Council to the Parks and Recreation Department proposal discussed at the July 13,
1982 Council meeting. He reviewed the various provisions. COUNCILMEMBER HALL THEN MOVED, SECONDED
BY COUNCILMEMBER GOULD, TO PASS RESOLUTION 532, SETTING FORTH THE PROCEDURES FOR SELECTION AND AWARD
OF CONCESSION CONTRACTS. MOTION CARRIED.
COUNCIL
Councilmember Hall acknowledged a letter handed to her during the recess from Roger and Cheryl
Tornga of 736 Dayton. The letter said they could not be present.but supported their neighbors in
the efforts to restrict the hours and noise of the Elm Club. •
Councilmember Allen acknowledged a letter from Russell Berg, Executive Director of the South County
Senior Center, expressing thanks on the parts of the seniors for the flowers on the Edmonds streets.
Councilmember Allen also acknowledged a letter regarding dues to.the Puget Sound Council of Govern-
ments.
Councilmember Allen noted that the tour of the library this evening had been cancelled, and she
suggested that it be rescheduled. COUNCILMEMBER ALLEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER GOULD, TO
RESCHEDULE THE LIBRARY TOUR FOR AUGUST 24, 1982. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilmember Nordquist thanked Mr. Adams for his letter regarding the Highway 99 Study, assuring
that the Reid -Middleton proposal includes all the elements of the motion. He also asked Mr. Adams
about the letter from DOE regarding Referendum 39 grant funding. Mr. Adams responded that the DOE
is granting what the City asked for, but no money is being received:for the lines above the bluff.
The amount will be $620,000. He said he would have a proposal.next week for what it will cost to
put in the signed grant application ($1,000-$2,000), and he asked for approval to solicit informa-
tion from Reid -Middleton. COUNCILMEMBER ALLEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO GIVE THAT
APPROVAL. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilmember Nordquist asked for a procedure in the Finance Department whereby a log is kept of all
the out -to -bid items in regard to engineering so there is some kind of an inventory of dollars spent
per project --how much is spent and how much is authorized ,to be spent. Finance Director Art Housler
said that would be provided on a quarterly basis.
Councilmember Nordquist said he had learned in meeting with the Parks and Recreation Director and
his staff that a floor scrubber is badly needed for the Anderson.Center. He discussed this briefly,
and Mayor Harrison said he would take it up at the Staff Meeting.

Councilmember Gould stated, that at next week's Public Works/Engineering Committee meeting they would

Councilmember Gould
noted that the Edmonds Council of Concerned Citizens had written a letter
requesting a meeting
with the Council regarding the de novo hearing
process, and he suggested that
they also meet with
the Council.when the PAB does so.
The meeting recessed

with the motion made earlier in

CARRIED. The approved items on the Consent Agenda included the following:

AUDIENCE
Pat Eldridge, 7717 200th S.W., submitted 120+ signatures of citizens who do not want the curbs
removed from the new library. She had photocopied.a letter to the editor from Diana Reed on this
subject and added a note of her own and circulated it, obtaining signatures of people who agreed
with the contents. The letter had suggested visits.to the.University District where the same curb
design is used effectively. Ms. Eldridge said that at best, removal of the curbs would cost a lot
of money to remove something that has nothing wrong with it. She asked the Council to reconsider.
Councilmember Kasper responded that he appreciated hearing how others feel on this issue. He noted
that the construction fences are still outside the curb and asked that they be moved so a better
feel can be gained of the situation.
HEARING ON 9-LOT PLAT AT 8820 MAIN ST. (NELSON/P-1-82)
Planning Director Mary Lou Block said this proposal met all zoning requirements except for one lot
line adjustment.which must be made. She provided the Hearing Examiner's report and read his recom-
mendation which was for approval, subject to the following conditions: (1) Applicant must comply
with all Engineering Department requirements; (2) All lots must have at least 8,000 sq. ft., and any
lot failing to have this amount must be revised by a.lot nine adjustment; (3) Access to Lot 9 will
be off Main St. and the applicant must either acquire an easement for access through Lot 1 to Lot 9
or must adjust Lot 9 in order to meet the minimum lot size and adequately provide access off Main
St.; (4) Access to all of the other lots of the proposed subdivision shall be off 88th P1. W.; (5)
If the structure on Lot.9 is not.removed it must be brought up to building,code standards; (6) The
applicant should.take all precautions to -save the trees on the northerly section of the property;
and (7) the applicant should provide a fence or harrier of.some sort on that portion of .Lot 6.that
disrupts the enjoyment of -the adjoining properties (turning automobile headlights would shine into
. the adjoining home). It was recommended that the fence or barrier be along the westerly 85' of Lot
