19821116 City Council MinutesM, November 9, 1982 - continued • Chambers, at the last Council meeting to. -be held there. Councilmember Naughten offered the toast, in which everyone joined. REVIEW OF MAYOR'S SALARY Mayor Harrison excused himself during this discussion and left the Council Chambers so his presence would not impede the free flow of discussion. Council President Kasper reviewed the issue, noting that the Mayor was given a raise in.June and his salary was to be reviewed in September but that was put off until this date, following the election. He said the Mayor's salary is $16,920 per annum at present ($1,410 per month) plus benefits of $4,143. Councilmember Nordquist suggested that the Mayor's salary should be considered in context with the 1983 salaries at the same time that depart- ment heads' salaries are considered. Councilmember Hall stated that Councilmember Gould had asked for a record of performance, and she had surveyed the Mayor's calendar and found that he had put in more than four hours on most days. She listed some of the functions he accomplishes which are unknown to most --these taken from his calendar. Councilmember Jaech said the Council had discussed setting up a system of pay increases for department heads, the overall thought being that at budget time they would put a certain amount of dollars in the budget for salaries and it would be dis- tributed to the employees based upon their performance review, this to be done on their anniversary dates. She thought the Mayor should be included in that --that so much should be budgeted for salaries and everyone should be reviewed, including the Mayor, on the person's anniversary date so it does not get locked into any other thing happening in the.City. Councilmember Allen reminded her that this is an elected official and there are certain procedures that must be followed. Council President Kasper thought they were evading the question, and said they do not go through part-time employees and deal with their salary increases in the budget --that is done within the department. And he pointed out that the Mayor cannot budget himself a raise. He suggested that the Mayor should be given 50% of the established full-time salary, noting that the Council had approved a full-time salary of $35,000 to $40,000 and that the Mayor is spending'at least 50% of his time on this job so it is not too much to ask for 50% of the established wage. COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, TO GIVE THE MAYOR AN 8% INCREASE IN 1983, TO BEGIN JANUARY 1, 1983, AND TO INCLUDE THAT IN THE BUDGET. :Council President Kasper felt the Mayor had been highly involved and that there was no question but that the Mayor is spending more than 50% of his time on the job. Councilmember Gould observed that if the figure were to be $18,000 per annum for 1983 the increase over the current salary would be 6.38%. THE MOTION THEN CARRIED, WITH COUNCILMEMBER GOULD'VOTING NO. An ordinance will be prepared incorporating the 8% increase, to a salary of $18,276 ($1,523 monthly). The Mayor returned following this action. BUDGET WORK MEETING Mayor Harrison read a supplemental budget message, following..which Finance Director Art Housler made a presentation on the budget, noting that it had been developed with all department heads and the Mayor working as a team. Another budget work session was scheduled for November 15, 1982, in the Plaza Meeting Room of the Library building. There was no further business to come before the Council, and the meeting adjourned at 10:15 p.m. IRENE VARNEY MORAN, C'ty Clerk HARVE H..HARRISON, Mayor November 16, 1982 1 The regular meeting of the Edmonds City Council was called to order at 7:35 p.m. in the Plaza • Meeting Room of the Edmonds Library.

DRAFT REPORT ON HIGHWAY 99 UTI:LITIES STUDY item on Consent Agendal The report on this indicated that the Staff had reviewed the draft and the final document would be provided the Council on November 191 1982. Councilmember Allen asked if it actually would be available at that time. City Engineer Jim Adams responded that the Staff had recommended some minor changes to the draft but that he did not believe there would be any problem in having the final document by the date stated.

MOTION CARRIED. PROPOSED ORDINANCE TO REDUCE" SPEED LIMIT TO 20 ^IPH ON DAYTON ST. FROM 6TH TO 9TH AVES. [Item (G) on Consent Agenda] Councilmember Allen said she was opposed to the proposed 20 mph speed limit, noting; that it is difficult even to gear down to 25 mph going down that.hill. City Engineer Jim Adams said several complaints had been received, regarding the speed of vehicles on Dayton St. in the vicinity of the library because of the loading and unloading of children at the day care center. He said Council - member Kasper's cor,nients also were considered regarding the curb configuration, and that many cars are going 25-30 mph.which makes it difficult to enforce the 25 mph speed limit, so by reducing, it to 20 mph it would be easier to get the speeds down. Ccuncilmember Kasper observed that there is some tolerance so if it is desired to get the speed down by 5 mph the; have to reduce the limit to 20 mph. Police Chief Marlo Foster identified three other areas in the City that have a 20 mph speed limit (a portion of 6th Ave. S., at the Port of Edmonds, and a portion of 75th P1.). He said in proposing this change they were also concerned, with the turning movements at 7th and entering and leaving the libraryparkinglot. Councilmember Hall suggested posting 20 mph when children are present, but he was not sure if that could be used away from schools and said he would have to research it.. City Attorney Wayne Tanaka stated that the police have a more difficult time enforcing "when children are present" if it is not tied to a school. COUNCILMEMBER GOULD MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO RETURN THIS ITEM TO THE ENGINEERING AND POLICE DEPARTMENTS FOR FURTHER RESEARCH AND CONSIDERATiON OF WAYS TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. MOTION CARRIED. MAYOR Mayor Harrison.asked for confirmation of his appointment of Jurgen Sauerla.nd to Position 3 on the Planning Board. Council President Kasper responded that the Council did not want to make any appointments until the December 21 hearing on Council suggestions for the Planning Board. He was concerned, however, that there will be two additional vacancies at the end of the year. THEREFORE, COUNCIL PRESIDENT KASPER MOVED, SECONDED 5Y COUNCILMEMBER. ALLEN, THAT THE SUBJECT BE BROUGHT UP AT THE WORK MEETING DECEM3Ea 14, 1992 AND ACTED UPOM AT THE DECEMBER 21, 19S2 MEETING AT WHICH TIME THEY WILL. TAKE UP THE CONFIRMATIONS.` MOTION CARRIED. HEARING ON HEARING EXAMINER RECihMMENDATION TO VACATE PORTION OF RIGHT-OF-WAY ON NORTHWEST SIDE OF OL.YMPIC VIEW DR., SOUTH OF EUCLID ST. (GOLDSMIT'H ST-•3-82) Planning Director Mary Lou Block said this situation is one that has evolved over a number of years and the property has been the subject of various proceedings. In a Court Order dated November 2, 1945, 26' of the property fronting 1427 Olympic View Dr. was quitclaimed by Snohomish County. Because of inaccurate surveys and lack of precise Engineering monuments, the exact property lire and right -of-" y line were never precisely establisled. In 1950 the County Oonmissioners of Snohomish County vacated 12' of the ;:property, resulting in a vacation of up to 2' from the center line of Olympic Vier Dr. With the quitclaim action as required by Superior Court and with Snohomish County vacation, the property was vacated up to and including part of the Olympic View roadway, but.4' of land remained in toe right-of-way. This property fronted directly in front of the property at 1427 Olympic View Dr. and this 4' of land is the property that is sought to be vacated. On advice of an attorney at a title company, the applicant filed a quiet title_ suit in which the City of Edmonds was named as the defendant. The City contested the suit. As a part of the settlement of this suit the City has recommended that: the vacation of the 4' of land be granted and that the City be dismissed as the defendant in the law suit. The 4' strip is not used by the general public and is only accessible by foot, and the City has no improvements within it and has no future plans to develop any of it. Further, the 4' strip contains a portion of the applicant's house, shrubs, and grass, and has no significant use'to +he City of Edmonds. Based on these and other findings of fact, the Hearing Examiner recommended approval, subject to the .folloiing conditions: (1) That no compensation ,be required to be paid to the City for the property involved, and (2) That the applicant will quitclaim all interests that she, her predecessors and successors have in any additional right-of- way adjacent to the subject.property. The hearing was opened, no one wished to speak, and the hearing was closed. COUM00090 NORDQOIST MOVED, SECOND D 3Y COUNCILMEMBER ALLE I, TO ACCEPT THE RECOMMENDATiON OF THE HEARING EXAMINER, BASED UPON HT.S FIMOINGS, AND TO INSTRUCT THE CITY ATTORNEY TO DRAFT THE APPROPRIATE ORDINANCE. MOTION CARRIED. r1 U 56 November 16, 1982 - continued • HEARING ON APPEALS FROM.DECISION OF ADB-58-82 AND DECISION OF HEARING EXAMINER ON CU-38-82 REGARDING PARKING LOT PLAN AT'22828 100TH AVE. W. (DREWNIANY) The parties involved were not present when this came up on the agenda. Planning Director Mary Lou Block asked that it be moved to the end of the agenda as she believed the parties then were trying to negotiate a solution between themselves. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL - MEMBER HALL, TO MOVE THIS ITEM TO THE END OF THE AGENDA. MOTION CARRIED. When that portion of the agenda was reached Morrie Olson of Olson's Food Stores addressed the Council and said he believed they had reached a compromise, with a minor modification in the parking. At this time Councilmember Jaech advised.that James Allendoerfer, the attorney for the appellant, has dealings with her in her other position so to avoid a conflict of interest she was excused from this hearing and she left the room. Mr. Olson said the change that the appellant and he had agreed to was regarding parking, moving a row of parking to allow easier ingress and egress for patrons of the hardware store. He demonstrated the change on a drawing. James Allendoerfer, attorney for Henry Drewniany, the appellant, said they also were asking for traffic modification of the traffic barrier on 100th Ave., moving it to the north to allow a left turning movement onto 100th. The holding lane will continue to the end of the barrier. The hearing was opened, no one else wished to speak, and the hearing was closed. COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO APPROVE THE MODIFICATION OF THE PARKING PLAN AS REQUESTED AND TO REQUEST THE PARTIES TO WORK WITH THE CITY STAFF ON THE INGRESS/EGRESS MODIFICATION. MOTION CARRIED. The parties were thanked for resolving this matter. Councilmember Jaech then returned. DISCUSSION WITH EDMONDS/LYNNWOOD YOUTH CLUB This item was placed on the agenda because of a letter from Richard Beresford, a member of the Board of Directors of the Youth Club of Edmonds/Lynnwood, Inc., in which he requested that the City forgive their debt of $2,652.53 for past rent of Room 121 of the Frances Anderson Center and cancel future rental charges of that room. Parks and Recreation Director Steve Simpson stated that this club provides a fine youth athletic program to residents of South Snohomish County, but he noted that this club is not the only organization that provides such services, and he enumerated some of the others. He said the Anderson Center operates with the understanding that all users of the building pay a fair portion of the City's costs of operating the facility, and all tenants provide services that benefit the community. He did not believe it to be in the City's interest to grant the request to forgive their debt and lease obligati.ons, saying to do this would have the City subsidizing a nonpublic agency and signal a change to the City''s policy of users paying for City provided services, so he recommended not granting this request. He said the total rental in dollars is $400 per month or $4,800 per year, but the implications go far beyond that as it could amount to $80,000 per year if other tenants were treated the same. Mr. Beresford stated that this club is the largest single youth athletic organization in the State, and he thought that was an impressive statistic when considering the size of Edmonds. He said they are performing a function that quite likely could be performed in a municipal capacity as opposed to a private capacity. He described the organization as being nonprofit, with two paid, full-time employees and one part-time, and the rest being voluntary help. They charge the children $20-$25 per sport per child, and he said if they have to pay the rent prescribed in their lease they would have to charge higher fees. Regarding the staff recommendation, he believed the Council should not be concerned only about the implications of this in relation to other rentals at the Anderson Center because he feels that the civic function which the Youth Club provides the children and the families of the community far exceeds that of any other group. From a legal standpoint, he said the legal issue.they had to deal with was.whether or not the Youth Club provides a benefit to the City as a corporate entity, as opposed toa civic benefit, and he believes it does, saying many municipal corporations provide youth activities at a cost to those.municipal corporations but at this point in time there is no cost to the City. He said the small subsidy of $400 per month is a small price for the benefit the community gains and the City gains as a corporate entity. Councilmember Hall thought this issue would have to get down to users' fees, and she asked how many of the 1,300 participants are Edmonds children. She also said she did not know why one signs a lease one cannot keep, and she noted that the rent was in arrears since May. It bothered her that the lease had not been honored and she was concerned about the way this had been conducted. Mr. Beresford responded that he became aware that the rent was in arrears at about the time he wrote to the Council (October 15, 1982), and he did not believe it was.proper for the club not to pay the rent when it was due, but he said they had a cash flow problem and -he understood that they now have the resources to pay that rent. He thought the Council could possibly grant an excuse to eliminate rent in the future, but he said he was not sure if they have the right to eliminate the past rental, so the club would pay that. He thought approximately two-thirds of the participants were Edmonds residents. Council - member Naughten said the Youth Club does provide a benefit to the community, but they have to be treated the same as everyone else. He asked about the City's help to the Boys' Club, and Mr. Simpson said the Boys' Club building does not cost the City. He said they ran up a debt for utilities which they are working off with.in-kind services, but at the Anderson Center the City provides a variety of services for the tenants, and the cost to the people in the City is about what is charged for rental space--$4.60 per sq. ft. Councilmember Allen reminded him that the City had put a roof on the Boys' Club building to the amount of $10,000, so the City has spent money on the Boys' Club and she thought the City had subsidized it in a number of ways. She agreed that the lease on the property is not a great deal, but she said they have not handled all of the upkeep on that building, so she thought it not fair for Mr. Simpson to say it is costing the City virtually nothing. Mr. Simpson said he does not think subsidizing either club is a wise move to make. Councilmember Naughten asked the City Attorney what the Council. could do legally. Mr.'Tanaka responded that the whole issue of public contributions to worthy organizations is difficult as the Constitution pro- hibits a municipality from making a gift of money or loaning credit to any organization except the poor and infirm, so even though it is a "worthy" organization that needs some help, the same Consti- tutional provision which prevents the.City from giving help to a developer also prohibits the Council from giving away money to another "worthy organization." He said it is plain and simple, and the courts have'been very strict in interpreting that provision of the Constitution, and the only situation that can'be negotiated with anybody who wishes to provide some service to the City November 16, 1982 - continued is that it has to be for the benefit of the City as a governmental unit and nct the citizens at large. He noted that Mr. Beresford had said the Youth Club provides a great service to the City in that if they did not do it the City would have to do it, but in his opinion the City does not have to do it --there is no obligation to provide a youth program but if the City wants to do that it can enter into a contractual arrangement to do it. He said that is not the situation of the Youth Club --they are voluntarily doing a service and the City is not contracting for the service. He advised the Council that if they wished to contract for that service that might he worked out, but there is no oossibilit.y that they could forgive the debt as they do not have that authority, but it may be worked off somiehow. C,DUnciImen, bar Naughtar, said there is a need for a groundskeeper at the ';vIderson Center and perhaps they could !rtork with the Youth Club in helping with that to reduce their rent in 6irect proportion for -that work. Mr. Tanaka said '[,he.r should be cautiruz avid he urged them to think carefully of the nonlegal aspects into which. they would, be- c;ettinc. Pe noted that people frequently bring up the logs' Club and the Senior Center together, 5ut the Semicr Center has a. contract for certain things and they also receive grants. Councilmember Goul di said he did not understand tine financial condition of the Youth Club as it appeared t"at there is a lot cf revenue. Mr. Beres -Ford responded that gross receipts from fees are approximately $100,00^ - $110,000 ner year and they earn another $15,000 - $20,000 in various fund-raising activities. On the expense side they have various rentals for fields and two full-time paid employees plus a part-time secretary, and the rest goes towards purchasing equipment, mainly uniforms. In any one sport a chill is issued a shirt which they keep. He said he would be happy to provide a detailed budget. Councilmember Gould said before any City funds are expended he would like to see an analysis of how the money is spent. Council President. Kasper had the financial statements for the last 4-3 yezirs. '1(2 thCl.lg'nt it a matter of policy as to whether they can and want to work cut something, and then it would be a matter of financial position as to how much. •John Harter, Director of the Youth Club, said they receive ne.Unite .d Way funds and they do let the • children keep the uniforms as it is good advertising for the program and a lot of people do not like hand -down uniforms. He said they also pay a lot for referees, rnost of whom are people in high .school or college who have gone through the program, so they are providing jobs for thee. He added that they have some income from sponsorships and also from some organizations. He said they do riot use any part of the Anderson Center except Room 121 and they even park across the,street. Mr. Simpson interjected that the Youth Club does use the common space in the Anderson Center such as restrooms. Mr. Harter.added that they use the fields, but on a payment basis, and they do some of the work on the fields. Councilmember Nordquist asked if they needed to be located in this spot, to function better, and Mr. Harter said they do not have to be in one particular area but they have 900 sq. ft. now and it is fuller used, and the room they have is a very good location for them and they have been treated very well bar the Recreation. Department staff. He said they had approached the Finance Director on the question of their rent payment because of their cash flow problem, as they just did not have the money for rent in June, July, and August. In .previous years they had paid it i.n September, and.that is the same problem this year. COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMENF,ER N0RDQ1.,'I1',T., TI!AT Ti1E CCL!hCIL /',SK THAT THE RENT BE PAID UP TO NOVEMBER 1, 1982 AND THAT THIS BE SET FOR ANOTHER DISCUSSION ON DECEMBER 21, 1982. He recommep.ded ':hat. the Council examine the financial report and that some alternative sites be investigated which would cost less. He asked the Stz.ff to provide a report shorai ng the total costs of the Boys' Club to the City. THE MOTION CARRIED. REPORT FROM STAFF REGARDING PROGRESS OF PARKSIDE WEST.PRD (FROM MEETING OF NOVEMBER 17, 1981 Planning Director Mary Lou Block reported that on November 17, 1981 the Council had approved a two- year extension of this proj,�,ct and r&7uested a progress report at this time. She said :hero- "as been no recent construction activity on the site and there is a sign advertising the property for sale, and it now appears the property may have changed hands. COUNCILMEMBER GOULD MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, TO ACCEPT THE REPORT. MOTION CARRIED. COUNCIL Councilmember Naughten asked for clarification regarding the filling of the position that Council - member Allen eventually will vacate, asking whether a person appointed by the Council would then be required to be on the next ballot ii= he/she desired to stay in the position, and he was told that is correct. Councilmember Hall acknowledged receipt of a letter from'Danny Rice of Accent Design regarding the bidding process, in which he said he had been misinformed at some point or there was some ;fl sunder - standing. Councilmember Gould noted that there was a. request from the.Staff regarding the funds for the space needs project. Finance Director Art Housler said he had..been concerned as to whether there would_be enough money from the pond issue -to pay for the fire truck as well as the space needs project so he met with the involved staff members and they developed a list of items that would be needed. He said the Council had authorized the space needs project and, indirectly, the staff had authorization for the design, renovation, and furnishings, but Ms. Block would like authorization to go to bid for some of the other things. He noted that the payment on the fire truck is due August 1, 1983. Councilmember Kasper noted that tine estimates are not yet in on the insulation and roofing, if needed, of the Civic Center building, and in light of the fact that the funds are producing 10.5%.he thought they should be left for the present, but he said Mr. Housler wanted to know where the fire truck will be allocated in the 1983 budget. Councilmember Gould said it would either be from the bond issue or from the projected increased revenue from the sales tax. He noted that another option would be to cut the uti1ity.ra te., Mr. Housler said there is $21,000 not budgeted which is anticipated from sales tax revenue and he was confident more cities would levy the tax so -6he Edmonds' portion of the income would increase. Councilmember Gould said they could take the utility tax rate down to 5 1/2% for a year by not.paying for the fire truck.from the money left in the library fund. Council - member Naughten thought they should not use the money to finance the fire truck until all the costs of the space needs project are known, and Mayor Harrison thought some should be left in reserve as • November 16, 1982 - continued next year's budget will be tighter than this year's. Ms. Block said there are certain items they want to go to bid on so they will be available at the time the contract is completed. She said they already had approval of the first five items on the list, and.Items 8, 9, and 10 (modular walls, carpeting, rubber molded baseboard) were the ones they were concerned about. Mr. Jessel said the roof and insulation analysis should be ready in about two months as it will take that long for the PUD to do an energy audit; and Mr. Adams said he would like to put in the, gas line (Item 5 on the Energy Saving Features list) before the new steps are constructed. The actual conversion of the two buildings to natural gas (Items 6 and 7 on the Energy Saving Features list) can be done later. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER ALLEN, TO APPROVE ITEM 5 ON THE ENERGY SAVING FEATURES LIST (THE NATURAL GAS LINE) TO BE DONE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. MOTION CARRIED. COUNCIL - MEMBER NORDQ.UIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER ALLEN, TO AUTHORIZE THE BIDS FOR THE MODULAR WALLS, CARPETING, AND RUBBER MOLDED BASEBOARD. MOTION CARRIED. COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, TO AUTHORIZE THE FINANCE DIRECTOR TO PUT IN THE BUDGET THAT THE FIRE TRUCK WILL BE PAID FOR OUT OF TAX REVENUE PRIOR TO THE WARRANTS EXPIRING. MOTION CARRIED. Council - member Jaech noted that if. Items 6 and 7 on the renovation list are not approved the tearing out of the old walls cannot be continued. COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL,,TO APPROVE ITEMS 6 AND 7 ON THE RENOVATION LIST. MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Gould did not see a date on the extended agenda for his Disability Board report to the Council, so that was set for December 14, 1982. Councilmember Jaech referred to a memo from Property Manager Jim Jessel regarding the sale of property to the City of Lynnwood, namely, an .82 acre,tract at the foot of Talbot Rd., which they wish to use for expansion of their treatment plant. It is zoned RS-12 and she said she wished to incorporate the Finance Committee's recommendation into a motion. COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, TO APPROVE THE HIRING OF CHUCK PETERSON & ASSOCIATES TO DO A CURRENT MARKET APPRAISAL OF THE PROPERTY BASED ON THE RS-12 ZONING AND TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT STUDY WHICH WAS DONE. City Attorney Wayne Tanaka noted that it might be desirable.to.have them analyze it from the point of view that Lynnwood wants this property for expansion of their treatment plant, which might be a higher and better use than RS-12. The motion was for the appraisal, and it was stated that they will negotiate after they receive the appraisal. MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Jaech advised that she would not be present November 23, 1982. Councilmember Nordquist commented that this, was the first meeting the Council had held in the new building and that it was nice to be there. He noted that there are a few things yet to be worked out, but that it is a beautiful facility. A short discussion followed regarding the horseshoe shaped table as most people were somewhat crowded. The table is not yet completed and there will be some modifications.. Councilmember Kasper stated that at the Personnel Committee meeting this evening they started on some of the job reclassifications and will continue on December 7, 1982. There was no further business to come before the Council., and the meeting adjourned at 9:15 p.m. IRENE VARNEY MORAN, gity Clerk HARVE H.
