19821123 City Council MinutesNovember 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 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.

Councilmember Kasper asked that Items (E) and (F) be removed -from the Consent Agenda. C(�!!NCILMIEMCER ALLEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL- MEMREP, HALL, TO APPROVE THE BALANCE OF THE CONSENT AGENDA. MOTION CARRIED. The approved items on the Consent Agenda included the following: n 1 E L� r (A) Roll call.

PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDING ONE-HALF CENT SALES AND USE TAX GRDINAN'CES Item (E) on Consent Agenda] Counci 1 member Kasper thought the public should be made aware of what is happening with the half -cent sales tax and he asked the City E',ttorney to ccrurent. l%r. Tanaka statea that tine Attorney Genere:! had come out with an opinion saying that the voters of any jurisdiction adopting the option can file an initiative to repeal. or modify it at any time if a SUffiCiEnt number of signatures can be.ga�;l��:red in -the manner prescribed by law. Therefore, the tax could be removed, dependin on the selection, so the Revenue Department will not pass on any monies unt1l the local ordinances are amended to reflect this clearly. The way the legislation was written it was thought the voters had to gather the signatures within 3G days after passage, but that is not the Attorneys General's opiriion. -,o.Incil- member Gould observed teat that will brake the cities toe the line and uE sure the things they use the money for are necessary services and keeps people from bEing cavalier in the way they spend the money. He thought it wa.s fine that it is continually subject to public scrutiny. COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY CGUNCILMEMBER. HALT_., TO APPROVE -ITEM (E) ON TIDE CONSENT AGENDA. NOTION CARRIED. PROPOSED ORDINANCE 2332 APPROVING WISPY WILLOWS PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT Phil-l-/O Item F on Consent Agenda_, Although the City Council.granted final approval for this PhD on January 22, 1980 and approved the draft ordinance, the final ordinance was never taken to the Council for approval. The project has since been completed and the units are occupied. The Staff therefore recommended approval of the ordinance to meet the legal requireriients for completion of this project. Councilriember Kasper removed this item from the Consent Agenda to ask the Planning Director, for a report on how this happened in order to assure that it will not happen again. COUNC-ILMIEMBER KASPER THEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCiLME:MUR HALL, TO APPROVE ITEM (F) ON -rHE CONSENT AGENDA. MOTION CARRIED. PROPOSED ORDINANCE PROHIBITING CROSSING EXCEPT AT CROSSWALKS [iteril (G) on Consent Agenda This ordinance was prepared in response to many complaints from motorists regarding the pedestrian traffic in the Edmonds High School area. Counciimember Gould thought the ordinance probably had some merit but he said if they were to pass it imi-iiediately they might not take full advantage of all the input they should have. He thought they should take some more steps --review this with the school officials and students. He suggested that Student Representative Tambi '-haw.be involved in this by arranging with some.of the Councilmembers to meet with the school principal and key leaders in the school to see if this is going to cause a lot of problems with the students. ""Is. Shaw said she personally thought this ordinance should be passed because it is a real mess there because of the wav the students are crossing. She agreed that it would be good to get input from file students and the principal. COUNCILIAEMBrR'GOULD MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO REQUEST THAT TAMBI SHAW ARRANGE A TASK FORCE TO ANALYZE THIS PROBLEM AND REPORT BACK 'iO THE COUNCIL DECEMBER 14, 1982. MOTION (.ARRJFf). MAYOR Mayor Harrison announced that the Edmonds Volunteer Firefighters Association wished to make a • presentation to the City and'he introduced Fire Chief ,Jack Weinz who in turn introduced Stu Murdock, President of the Edmonds Volunteer Firefighters Association. On display was the "Jaws of Life" rescue equipment which Mr. Murdock presented to the City. He said the project began in 1980 and the volunteer firefighters have been collecting newspapers and cans to recycle since that time, and that together with some monetary donations, provided the funds totaling $8,228.93 for the purchase of the equipment. Mr. Murdock said the people of the community were very much involved. The firefighters will continue their collection of papers and cans to fund some other projects. The Mayor and Council expressed thanks to the firefighters for this very worthwhile project which they had so successfully undertaken. PRESENTATION OF SNOHOMISH COUNTY SOLIi) WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN AND ADOPTION OF PROPOSED RESOLUTION Public Works Superintendent Jack Mitchell noted that Richard Owings, the manager of the Snohomish County Solid Waste Division, had addressed the Council in April of this year regarding their plan. The RCW requires that each county, as well as each city and town within the county, prepare a comprehensive solid waste management plan, and the County was requesting that the Council make a decision either to adopt the County's plan or not by November 30, 1982. Mike Huddleston, Special Projects Coordinator, who had made the previous presentation with Mr. Owings, was present this evening to discuss this further with the Council. He referred to the responses from some of the cities to whom they had made presentations, noting that some wanted assurance that benefits would be shared by all cities and towns, and that the most common complaint was that the County did not encourage recycling. The effect of recycling on the life of the Cathcart facility was discussed,.and Mr. Huddleston thought recycling could extend it somewhat. He was asked what the impact would be on the Citv of Edmonds if it were to�adont the C,ounty's plan, and he said the immediate impact !could be that it would satisfy the requirement that Edmonds must have a plan --and it is very expensive to develop the plan. It was noted that it would require.the City to do same things such as waste stream control, and he responded that if the City were to make guarantees and assurances to the County it would only be fair to ask the same of the County. From his experiences with the Health e Department, Councilmember Nordquist said every time there has been an effort to develop a program -it 0 November 23, 1982 - continued • has been expensive and it reflects both at the dump site and in pick-up at the home. He saw no assurances that adopting this would do anything but satisfy the needs of the DOE, and he thought it would cost the City money. It was asked what had been done by the County to put this out to the private sector, and Councilmember Gould said he sat in on a meeting on this and industry representa- tives were there and gave input. He said there also were disposal people and government people there. He thought this project to be away to solve the disposal problem and to try to make it profitable while doing it, and that.it allows for recovery of some resources and generation of enargy. He observed that there were many alternatives considered when the plan was in its formu- lative stages, and that it is a massive problem and the sanitary landfills are filling up very quickly. He favored the policy.in general but said the City has to be careful when signing the contracts that it is getting value for the money spent. Mr. Huddleston went on to discuss identi- fication of sites and proposals of purveyors who have developed machines to take away the waste problem. He said Snohomish County is coordinating with King County also in the preparation of King County's plan. Councilmember Kasper said he did not like the way things had been handled until now, and he thought there to be alternatives to this plan. Mr. Huddleston said they feel it is an excellent plan --logical and well put together --but that the City did not have to adopt it. He said they would have to return with an interlocal agreement to see about taking Edmonds' waste and for how much. Mayor Harrison thought all the cities should join in this, and Councilmember Gould agreed. Councilmember Allen observed that Edmonds cannot develop its own site so it would have to work with the others on this, and Councilmember Naughten agreed. COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER.HALL, TO PASS RESOLUTION 537, ADOPTING THE SNOHOMISH COUNTY SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT STUDY. MOTION CARRIED, WITH COUNCILMEMBER KASPER VOTING NO. CONTINUED DISCUSSION ON INDUSTRIAL.REVENUE BONDS City Attorney Wayne Tanaka reported to the Council on questions they previously had put to him. He . said there is no advantage in having only one corporation, as opposed to several, except for ease in keeping track of things. As to the question of whether it would be better to have it in place now as opposed to when a project comes along, he said corporations can be set up literally overnight, so there is no advantage to having one in place immediately. He suggested encouraging the developments to come in as they do and if they want to take advantage of the provision for revenue bonds at that time the Council can proceed. He said there is no prohibition against the City's joining in the County's organization and if a project wished to settle in Edmonds there would be no prohibition against the City's forming its own corporation. He thought the only advantage to joining with the County at this time would be a show of support. Councilmember Kasper could see no advantage to joining the County. THEREFORE, COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER ALLEN, NOT TO ACCEPT THE COUNTY'S REQUEST TO JOIN THEIR PUBLIC CORPORATION AT THIS TIME. He said this is for the private sector and that the City can deal with its own problems and the County can deal with its, and there is no need to get involved. THE MOTION CARRIED. DISCUSSION OF POSSIBILITY OF A WATER/SEWER BOND ISSUE Finance Director Art Housler said the Finance Committee had discussed this last week. He noted that the public feels the future generation should pay for the use of the facilities so expenditures for capital facilities should be financed from borrowed money over 20-25 years. However, his own recommendation was to continue on a cash basis which would cost $24,600 less per year on projects totaling $500,000. He discussed the current financial status of banks/investors/stock market to support his recommendation— Councilmember Kasper stated that the costs of financing some of the items,would be prohibitive, but he'noted that bids are coming in low now so it appears to be the time to do somethings. He said the Finance Committee had.in mind doing some projects for which there is no immediate funding.available, and that they do not know at this time what the block grant situation will be for the Meadowdale area and that they may have to go to a bond issue for that. He thought if that were the case then possibly they should get into the issue of what they can do to get the engineering going on the projects that they want to go forward. He thought this would • create employment because it will be done in the private sector. Mayor Harrison did not think they needed to go to bond issues to get the projects started, and Councilmember,Kasper did not think the question could be answered until they got into the budget., City Engineer Jim Adams noted that the engineering projects listed could be engineered for construction in the next construction program. Six projects scheduled for 1984 were discussed, and Councilmember Kasper again said this should come back after the budget period. Mr. Housler said there is some $800,000 in replacement reserves which could be used if the block grant is not received for Meadowdale. He said some of the projects could be done inexpensively. Regarding the block grant application, Planning Director Mary Lou Block said the personal interviews of the people in the Meadowdale area have been completed but 70 householders had not been contacted so questionnaires were mailed to them, and as soon as they get that informa- tion they can determine the incomes in the area and get that information to the County. Mr. Adams noted that the bids they have been getting are .the lowest in five years, and he said his department could start on the design of the projects listed and they could have the plans and specifications for some of them by next spring, doing them in-house. COUNCILMEMBER ALLEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO PROCEED WITH THE DESIGN OF THOSE ITEMS THAT THE CITY ENGINEER INDICATED COULD BE DONE IN-HOUSE: TALBOT RD. DRAINAGE, MEADOWDALE BEACH ROAD AT 76TH DRAINAGE, AND PUGET DR. AT 9TH AVE. DRAINAGE. Councilmember Naughten asked that if any of the costs are over what was estimated the Council be informed. Councilmember Kasper said he would .vote against the motion because the first priority is Meadowdale and the Council had not yet examined the Highway 99 Study, and until those,two items are addressed he did not think they should spend any money anywhere. Mr. Adams responded that they were only telling him to spend his time on these projects and that would not impact the Meadowdale project, and Councilmember Gould said he could not then be spending his time on Meadowdale. Mr. Adams said he could get the staff started and see -how much of their effort is needed and if there is an in-house problem they would ask for direction. THE MOTION CARRIED, WITH COUNCILMEMBER KASPER VOTING NO. He stated that Meadowdale is the first priority, and Councilmember Allen said she also feels Meadowdale is the primary consideration and if these studies begin to impact the staff she would like the City Engineer to advise the Council. Mayor Harrison agreed and said Meadowdale will get the highest priority. November 23, 1982 - continued COUNCIL Student Represent&tive Tambi Sha`., wished everyone a happy Thanksgiving. CouncilmtilOber Narghten ccmmented on Mayor Harrison's.memo regardinp regional social service programs and said he agreed with the Mayor's comments except if the Ci t�, i s sups i di zi r.g the Boys' Club it has to treat the Ed -Lynn Youth Club the same. Councilmember Nordquist introduced Kathy Tussing, the new reporter for the Herald. Councilmember Nordquist had obtained some information regarding the conversion of the heating system of the Civic Center to aas. He said this had been budgeted in the last two years and would have cost $6,000 last yea.r with the gas line installed for nothing, but it was put.off and will cost more now. He said there was a study on the payback indicating costs of 59¢ per sq. ft. for oil, whereas the Andersen Center is helm heated for 1,11 per sq. ft, for as, so he saw a savings of 19¢ per so. ft. Councilmember Hall had attended a Performing Arts Center meeting, and said the same group of people will stay intact and will reaffirm the interlocal agreement. Councilmember Hall said she will not be present next week as she will be at the National League of Cities meeting. Councilmember Hall noted that 20 employees have had perfect attendance and the Mayor will be hosting a luncheon for them.and i-,,ill present them certificates of recognition. • Councilmember Allen had. received a letter from the PSCOG indicating; the energy plan agreement is in place. She said BPA has ma -de available $4,000,000 as grants to cities for retrofitting buildings with energy taken into consideration, and the projects are retroactive and fit everything the City has done since the. Anderson Center. She said the grants will be given on a first come/first served basis, and she had discussed this with the Finance Director and Planning Director so the grant request can be in place the minute the announcement is made. Councilmember Allen asked where.the picture is which was ourchasej for the library. It is temporarily located in the Civic Center and will be moved to the library. Councilmember Could asked that; a messaFae I.e relayed in the Minutes to Councilmember Jaech (who was vacationing in the Hawaiian Islands). The message: "'V;e missed you at today's meeting. Ye under- stand you are in Hawaii. We are told a hurricane is going on in Hawaii. It serves you right!" Regarding Item (G) on the: Consent Acenda t-,,high Councilmer .ler G^"ld had moved to this dace, he asked the Council to discuss the procedure they are using in going through job reclassifications and salary adjustments. he said it was his im^ression that when t;,ey hired a Personnel Director the first job he would do v;eul d be to O ve ti e Council an overvi evt of the salary structure in the City, and the Council would go through that and get it adjusted for equity and fairness, and then they would go through the salaries. His concern was that this was not happening. Councilmember Naughten said that was the overall goal but there were some which needed immediate attention. Councilmember Allen said they were asking to have NE-3's, for instance, compared alike, regardless of where they are --find those elements ofa job that are comparable and indicate the things that the the job entails. For example, the work area --is it a convenient area or is .somebody being,given credit who has to work in wet, uncomfortable conditions, so when the jobs are compared it does not make any... difference if one is in public works and another in administration because they are given credit for these things. Councilmember Gould stressed that they want to have equity. He proposed for discussion • that the City Council approve a rough draft of a classification system in the City with all classifi- cations on an organization chart, and before they adopt it have -a meeting with all the department heads to get their input before they implement the exact reclassification schedule and salaries. He thought that the only way not to create more problems, and he said the primary objective is to have equity between the classifications and within the classifications. Councilmember Kasper observed that all recla.ssi''ications seem tc be upward and he thought a salary limitation should be set and then work. to see if there: are any areas cf reorganization so i:here can be some downgrades. lie noted that in August they had stated that there were several jobs that stood out as major inequities and they were to attack those first but that was delayed.because.a Personnel Director was hired. He said the highest priority was the position of City Clerk and another was the Public Works Office Administrator, followed by several others down the line. He had felt the inequities were so great that they should proceed o+t those. He thought areas should he looked -t. if the Council is dis- satisfied with them, but he said Vney have to know the impact on the payroll. Councilmember Could said he was not trying to say he was unhappy about any of the proposed reclassifications, but he said it is hard fcr hii� to tell the decision is a good one unless there is input from people who can see other effects that he cannot see. Councilmember Hall said they finally were down to four reclassifications or she priority list, and she noted that the Personnel Director had not been with them very longs and that the administration will keep the Council informed. E�•iayor Harrison said the process of trgrin, to create equity has been going on for a long time and as he saw it the overall -picture had a4lwa,:s been examined. Pe also suggested that the Council take some time to read his November 23, 1982 memo regarding organization and classification and citing RCW 35A.11.020. Personnel Director Pat Le""ay stated that at least seven or eight of the ten they addressed were pending when he came on board and he perceives that there was some urgency that should be dealt with, after which they should go forward with the total.scheme. He thought that the three or four of the critical ones, or even tine ten, would. not have. that much ripple effect on the total scheme. Councilrie-mber Allen argued that there is the tendency to defend the nosition once it ;,as been made. ",r. LeNa.�: responder; that he just perceived that there was sonde urgen•"cy and that some of them, if not the majority, should be dealt with;.and'he noted that mos�.o� the ten.had been pending since June. He added that the argument could be made that another few months spent in looking at the total r� LJ 62 November 23, 1982 - continued • scheme would be well spent, but he had made a judgment to the contrary. Councilmember Allen said the approval they were faced with at this time did not bother her, but she thought that perhaps the Personnel Director had not had time to look at the picture that the Council had hoped he would see. She said they had pushed him to do it quickly, which he did, and.now they are feeling that perhaps not enough of the whole structure was taken into, consideration. Councilmember Gould said it is critical that they deal with this issue in a manner so that it appears to the people it affects that they are rational and open about it and that it will stand challenge, and that is why he thought they should have a draft proposal and let the people speak up, and that should preclude their redoing it all the time. He thought that, to start, the Council should adopt a tentative classi- fication chart for the total City and then any department head or administrator could meet with them on it to -make recommendations. He said there is also a new element entering the picture --a new bargaining unit, and he asked what happens when they reclassify people that are in a bargaining unit and did not used to be --are certain things mandated? He said if that requires a change in salary he did not understand it. Mr. LeMay said most of the labor agreements have provisions for what has to be done for promotional reclassification and salary adjustment. He said he thought management is ill advised if they do not practice good employee relations, whether a person is in a union or not, and where there is a year or more'to rule on agreement he thought it wrong to postpone dealing with the inequity. Mr. Tanaka stated that if you change the scope of a person's duties that is changing the terms and conditions of his employment, and you have to bargain that. COUNCILMEMBER HALL MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER ALLEN, TO APPROVE ITEM (D) ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, INSTRUCTING THE CITY ATTORNEY TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH COUNCIL ACTION ON RECLASSIFICATIONS AND SALARY ADJUSTMENTS. COUNCILMEMBER KASPER.'THEN MOVED TO AMEND THE MOTION, TO REFLECT THE RECLASSIFICATION OF THE CITY CLERK ONLY AT THIS TIME. COUNCILMEMBER GOULD SECONDED THE MOTION FOR DISCUSSION. Councilmember Kasper said the other two positions are minor movements and there was a question in his mind regarding one of them from the standpoint of creating a position of foreman when they just had done away with foreman positions. The other, he said., was a minor movement wherein everyone in the City was in that position, but.the City Clerk position, by the Personnel Director's analysis, • had been a considerable misclassification at E-4 and he felt E-7 was not extreme even if there was possibly a reorganization.in the next year and some of the duties were to be removed. Councilmember Hall stated that this had come to them recommended by the Personnel Director and the Mayor and was voted on at the Personnel Committee meeting. A ROLL CALL VOTE WAS TAKEN ON THE MOTION TO AMEND, WITH COUNCILMEMBERS KASPER AND GOULD VOTING YES, AND WITH COUNCILMEMBERS ALLEN, HALL, NAUGHTEN, AND NORDQUIST VOTING NO. THE MOTION TO AMEND FAILED. THE MAIN MOTION THEN PASSED. COUNCILMEMBER GOULD THEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN, THAT THE COUNCIL ESTABLISH A PROCEDURE FOR HANDLING THE BALANCE OF THE RECLASSIFICATION CONSIDERATIONS --TO LOOK AT THE TOTAL PROCEDURE FOR THE CITY AND IT BE BROUGHT TOGETHER AND AGREED ON IN DRAFT FORM BY THE COUNCIL, AND THEN A MEETING BE HELD WITH DEPARTMENT HEADS AND ADMINISTRATORS TO GET INPUT BEFORE APPROVAL. THE MOTION CARRIED, WITH COUNCILMEMBER KASPER VOTING NO. Council President Kasper discussed budget meeting dates and the Highway 99 Study was moved to the December 7 meeting, but its budgetary implications will be discussed on November 30. A budget work session was scheduled for this time, but because there was a problem with the heating system in the Plaza Meeting Room and the room was uncomfortably cold the meeting was adjourned at 9:50 p.m. _21i M._4�_4 o J_lZe2�, IRENE VARNEY MORAN, C' y Clerk HARVE H. HARRISON, Mayor November 30, 1982 The regular meeting of the Edmonds City Council was called to order at 7:50 p.m. in the Plaza Meeting Room of the Edmonds Library, following a dinner meeting.
