19830726 City Council Minutes2100 July 19, 1983 - continued • and to his knowledge his department has no need for any typewriters. Councilmember Nordquist men- tioned that he had talked to Mayor Anderson of Mountlake Terrace who said they had purchased a separate computer_ for their Engineering Department and they are happy with their service from Lynnwood. Councilmember Nordquist inquired about the Hubbard development which is very visible from the ferry because the land has been denuded. City Engineer Jim Adams said the developer has done everything he can for temporary erosion control. The Engineering Department has been concerned as to whether the slopes could be maintained in the event of a heavy storm. The department has the original contours and grading plan. Councilmember Nordquist 'referred to the last ADB minutes and the review of the Arby's sign proposal. He noted that one of the ADB members had advised the applicant to apply to the City Council for relief. Councilmember Nordquist said it seems that in order to get any action they have to have it at the Council level, and he asked if they must always have to go through an emergency action to get to the Council. He thought the City was standing still on Highway 99. Planning Director Mary Lou Block responded that the Planning Board has been addressing other issues and has been unsure as to what they want to do with this, but on next week's agenda they will be discussing where to go on Highway 99, and they will be talking about the changes recommended by the Council. The staff will be making suggestions to them regarding signs on Highway 99. Councilmember Hall reported that she had an interesting time with the rangers at Brackett's Landing last week. She said there was TV coverage of the session, and she had counted 11 groups within an hour coming from the beach. She said the rangers are very well versed and very good with the children. Councilmember Gould added that he had received a letter from Frances Murphy because last year's Paine Field air show, sponsored by the Lynnwood Rotary, had helped to pay for the beach ranger program. Councilmember Hall reported that she had been a judge in the recent belly flopper contest at Yost Pool, which she said was a good time for the community. She also noted.that Roz Sumners was filmed in Edmonds this week and the City had looked very attractive so when she participates in the Olympics the film probably will be shown on national television. Councilmember Kasper noted that the Community Transit bus stop signs are now in place, and he is troubled that the buses are stopping right after they cross an intersection, leaving the cars in back of them stopped in the intersection because.they.cannot get -around them. He asked.that the staff look into this. Councilmember Naughten said a resident had asked him about the wheelchair ramp at the south end of the library because it is very steep. City Engineer Jim Adams said he had recommended that it be taken out when it was in the plans but the Council decided to leave it there, but it really is not considered a wheelchair ramp because it is too steep. Councilmember Allen noted that Carlie Jennings, the Probation Officer, was hospitalized and she asked if they should send him a card. Mayor Harrison responded that he has been given a lot of attention and the City staff is watching him closely. Council President Jaech asked the Planning Department to obtain more information about an ordinance the Snohomish County Council will consider on August 3, 1983 relating to zoning. Provisions of it will permit convenience food and drug stores under 5,000 sq. ft. in the Freeway Service Zone and will permit administrative approval of temporary dwellings and temporary emergency uses or structures when they would otherwise require conditional use or special permits. P1s. Block will look into it. There was no further business to come before the Council, and the meeting adjourned at 10:35 p.m. s IRENE VARNEY MORAN, C?Y Clerk HARVE H.

The first was that of Edmonds Cafe (formerly Dave's Pizza) for a Class A.and C,license (beer and wine for consumption on premises). The owner is the same and the Assistant Police.Chief's report indicateu t"at this should have been a simple transfer and that there had been no negative reports regarding this business in the past.

The second application rids from the Southland Corporation for a Class E and F license (packaged beer and wilne) for a 7-Eleven store at 238th and Highway 99. The Assistant Police Chief indicated. this r will be a new 7-Eleven store and cater -corner to the 1oc�.tion is an existing business that sells packaged beer ant, wine. He recommended approval.

(Westgate) for a Class H (spirituous liquor by the glass and/or beer and wine on premises) Service fair license in lieu of their current Class H Lounge license, the reason being an expansion of the business. The Assistant Police Chief recommended approval. COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER GOULD, TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL. OF THE APPLICATION. MOTION CARRIED. Mayor Harrison said there was a request to reauthorize him .to sign an agreement for a sewer connection at 734 Edmonds Way for Mrs. Tatjawa Berzkalns. Public Works Office Administrator Rhonda March, acting for vacationing Bobby Mills, explained that they had tried to get this property connected to the sewer for a number of years but because of the property owner's financial condition it had not been done. However, she is non having severe plumbing problems and must connect as soon as possible. Mrs.Berzkalns had contacted Russ Johnson, a local sewer contractor, to make the connection and the Public Works Department had reviewed his estimate and considered it to he very reasonable. The Snohomish County Senior Citizens' Office verified that Mrs. Berzkalns' current income status is such that this agreement is still recuired. She vli11 sign a promissory note and mortgage to the City at 4% interest. State law: provides for this type of accommodation for hardship cases. City Attorney Wayne Tanaka stated that it will have to be determined that she has fee title as there must be some verification that she can sign the mortgage.

APPROVAL OF CONTRACT FOR VENDING MACHINE SERVICE I.item (C) on Consent Acendz. Councilmember Nordquist again expressed concern about placing yendiing machines in the library building because of the maintenance problems. He suggested instead that there he a vending renter at the Anderson Center. Ccunr_.ilmember Kasper reminded him that a room in the library building was • designed for vending machines, but Councilmember Nordquist said they have enough problems with the building, without.the-,machines.. Parks and Recreation Director Steve Simpson said the only reason they had included VPndinq machines for the library building was because there is a vending machine room and he had been providing drinks to the Council in the interim. He said if they do not want drinks available there the machines will not be provided, and it was only intended as a Public service. Councilmember Gould was not sure they needed the machines there, and he thought .perhaps the space Could be used.for something else. COUNCII_MFMBFR. NORDOUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUN�TL- MEMBER.

W. ,_Item E, on Consent Agenda_, r Councilmember Gould.observed that there was a. large disparity between the engineer's estimate and bids that were received and he asked why. City.Engineer Jig. Adams said there was a mistake in the engineer's estimate as they had figured it on unit prices and failed to estimate the depths which are much deeper. He said the bids received were good bids, based on the depth of the ripe: that. has to go in. As to the low bidder, B kI M Contractors (Tom Belt), Mr. Adams said Mr. Belt has con- sistently been the low bidder on jobs that he has bid and he has been a contractor in the City fo►^ a long time and has a good record. Counci.lmemher Kasper noted that if it were put in as originally calculated it would not fit.the next phase.

COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO APPROVE ITEM (G) ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, ADOPTING ORDINANCE 2386. MOTION CARRIED, WITH COUNCILMEMBER KASPER ABSTAINING BECAUSE HE LIVES ON THAT STREET. ADOPTION OF EDMONDS STREET TREE PLAN ORDINANCE [Item (H) on Consent Agenda] Councilmember Kasper thought there was no provision in the plan that trees should be of the type to conform with the height limits of the area. Building and Grounds Supervisor Felix deMello responded that research was done for two years to determine the best trees to use, and as far as he could find, no trees will stay within the 25' limit --even rhododendrons will grow higher --depending on the condition of the soil. Although.there is no guarantee, he said height was taken into consideration in developing the plan. They also considered root structure, flower, fruit, etc. He noted that Seattle has done extensive research on street trees and that research was used. He noted that some of the trees on the previous list had been removed. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO APPROVE ITEM (H) ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, PASSING ORDINANCE 2387. MOTION CARRIED. PROPOSED RESOLUTION TRANSFERRING FUNDS FOR TEMPORARY PUBLIC SERVICE PROJECTS Item I on Consent Agen a Councilmember Allen wanted to voice her objection to the plan and removed this from the Consent Agenda so she could vote against it. She had expressed her views on this at the last meeting, and she did not think the money should be spent this way and did not know if there was the need for these personnel at this point. She thought City crews could do a lot of what was being done. Mayor Harrison responded that this was an effort to get as much work done in the summer months as possible. A question was asked as to the amounts already spent and the remaining amounts, and Personnel Director Pat LeMay stated that approximately $59,500 has been .spent on these projects and $65,000 was budgeted. He said there are three or four more projects to be done, and probably in October the Mayor will request the remaining $4,500. Councilmember Allen favored the cleaning out of the streams and the storm drainage inspections, but she said she was not aware that trails and bridges in Yost Park were in need of $14,000 in improvements. Felix deMello stated that before he came to work for the City in 1976 the bridges and trails were built with CETA funds; then in 1979 a storm demolished all the work done. They were rebuilt and then another storm came and destroyed them again. He said they have not been able to get in there to repair the trails because they do not have the manpower to do so but people are using the trails for jogging and nature walks, and they would like to put-riprap where storm water has done extensive damage. Councilmember Naughten suggested that this would be a good project for service organizations such as Scouts. COUNCILMEMBER GOULD MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, TO APPROVE PROJECT VI (STORM DRAINAGE INSPECTION AND INVENTORY) IN THE AMOUNT OF $5,661; AND THAT PROJECT VII (REBUILDING OF TRAILS AND BRIDGES IN YOST PARK) BE REMANDED TO THE STAFF FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND THAT THE COUNCIL BE FURNISHED WITH INFORMATION AS TO HOW THE WORK WILL BE DONE IN A PERMANENT NATURE. MOTION CARRIED, WITH , COUNCILMEMBER HALL VOTING NO. REPORT ON PLAYFIELD LIGHTS Parks -and Recreation Director Steve Simpson introduced Del Armstrong, the lighting consultant who had done the requested lighting study of the Civic Center playfield. Mr. Armstrong's report had been furnished to the Council. His report indicated that the current field lighting with the glare shields provides the minimum level of light adequate for sports play; little additional glare reduction is possible with other glare shield designs; the number of lights could be reduced if the shields were removed; and it is difficult to reduce glare to everyone's satisfaction since glare is a matter of individual perception. Mr. Armstrong noted that.people associate lower mounting of lights with less glare but he said that is not what happens and, in fact, the lower the mounting of the lights, the worse is the glare problem. He said it is different in a parking lot where poles can be placed within the lighted area, but they cannot be placed in the playing field. He reviewed his report and answered questions. He said as long as you have a totally black background there • will still be perceived glare, even with the illumination reduced. He recommended not going much below what there is now in illumination because of safety, and he thought one reasonable alternative for slight improvement would be to remove the louvers and take a couple fixtures off each pole and re -aim the system. City Attorney Wayne Tanaka stated that if there are some recognized standards for lighting sports fields that mention a certain minimum standard and the City does not meet that and someone trips in the dark because of the dark, there is potential for liability, and in Washing- ton if you do not meet recognized standards you are negligent as a matter of law. After the report was discussed at length, Councilmember Hall suggested that possibly the hours of play will have to be limited or else it will have to be decided that this is not the place for a lighted playfield. Councilmember Allen did not think the lights could be taken out because there is an agreement with the school district and they use the field for soccer, and Councilmember Hall said that will have to be worked out. She thought the problem should be tackled by reducing the hours of play. Mayor Harrison thought every effort should be made to move the lights to another field, and he said some progress had been made in discussions with the City of Lynnwood for development of the Meadowdale playfield. Property Manager Jim Jessel discussed that, saying Metro has been doing projects of tilling in sludge to make good playfields, and they are prepared to negotiate a contract with Lynnwood and Edmonds to do the Meadowdale playfield, and he said if they were to get started now they could have a playfield for spring 1984. Mayor Harrison will be meeting with Lynnwood in the next week or two to discuss this project. He was thinking in terms of Edmonds contributing the design, which it has already done, and the lights, and he thought they could develop a sand -lot field, but he did not know if Lynnwood would be satisfied with that. Councilmember Naughten thought the people living near the playfield could probably live through another season if they knew they would be rid of the lights. Mr. Simpson said the playing schedule now has been reduced so it stops at 9:00 p.m., and he said that is about as far as practical. He noted that the people say they miss their sunset and by 9:00 p.m. the sunset is gone now. Mayor Harrison said the neighborhood was t-filling to go along !Jith a reduced schedule for an interim plan if the lights ultimately would be moved. Councilmember Nordquist noted that the letter received from the neighbors had made recom- mendations for curtailing the playfield scheduling which were about the same as what now exists. Councilmember Allen noted that there also were letters from some of the people who like the lights, • 203 • July 26, 1983 - continued so not everyone dislikes them. She also was concerned that Edmonds is rapidly turning away the youth of the area, having done very little in the last few years to encourage young people. Council - member Naughten said there has never been a lighted baseball field in Edmonds and he thought that should be pursued at the Woodway site. Student Representative Tony Foss said that is probably one of the worst fields in the area. COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO HAVE A REPORT ON THE JOINT USE OF MEADOWDALE PLAYFIELD ON' AUGUST 23, 1933. "9C�.IOn! CARRIED. Council - member Kasper felt that if the lights are to be removed from the Civic Center playfield that enough should remain to be adequate for at least limited sports such as jogging. He said this is a major asset: to the whole bowl of Edmonds and it should be used, and he also thought there should be at least one hearing when it comes to making the decision of what they will do. Councilmember Gould thought that if if should be decided to develop the Meadowdale playfield that Ednionds will have a large financial commitment to rake in addition to the lights. A recess was announced, during which Councilmember Jaech left. DISCUSSION ON YOST PA?K POOL RENOVATIONS AND POOL COVER Parks and Recreation Director Steve Simpson had provided a report regarding the necessary renovations the covering the He said the City is faced as well as a discussion.'reoarding possibility of pool. with a fairly.substantial maintenance problem regarding the Dool for next year and tthe decision cannot bt delayed much longer as to ;hether to cover it or not; and if it is decided not to do so ti:e�n the repairs will he madei n such a v.,ay that it will make a. good outdoor pool. He said he gets more requests to cover the pool than any other thing and he hears very little against covering it, and it does not make sense to build a large facility without making it pay for itself. He was not sure if it was possible on that site to make it pay for operating costs and debt service. He said v Jiscussions regarding covering it have always been about a cover that would open up to take advantage of the unique site, and now there are new ideas for ways to do that. He said a pool by itself probably would not break even, and it would need associate-' activities. He noted that Mountlake • T?rrace has a very well run pool but they have more than one activity at that facility and any pool has to have other attractions to make it pay. He noted.that the pool is in a residential area and he did not know if they could get enough people in and out to make it pay. Councilmember Naughten read aloud a letter from Dave Larson, a member of the Planning Board, and a person who has always taken an active part in discussions regarding the pool. His latter discussed reasons for not covering the pool., and he recommended that any consideration of a covered pool be studied on its merits as a separate question. Councilmember Kasper felt a lot of money would have to be spent on it and he noted that it is 15 years old and a lot of work has to be done. He said they will either have to cover it or forge+ it as they do not have anv budgets for heavv maintentance on it and it will be expensive. Mr. Simpson displayed a series of artist's conceptions of pool covers which had been done when this was discussed before, and he also circulated some pamphlets on pool covers. He said covering the,pool could cost from $100,000 to $1,000,000, repairs will cost from $50,000 to $120,000, and improvements will range from $50,000 to $600,000, depending upon the type and amount of space needed for them. This would require borrowing money, and of the options available he recommended revenue bonds. He said with this approach as much of the cost of the project as is possible can be passed on to the users of the facility. He will obtain cost figures for inflatable and retractable covers. Councilmemer Allen discussed the possibility of a covered pool at another site, saying it should be near a high school and Woodway is difficult to get to and there is another pool near Edmonds High. She thought Meadowdale would love to have it. Mir. Simpson said it would have to be a multi -level recreational facility and would be aimed at athletics as opposed to what is at the Anderson Center. Councilmember Naughten said he would be more in favor of General Obligation bonds as anything of that magnitude in cost should go to a vote of the people. He asked for a report of the hest estimate of the total cost of a permanent cover, a balloon cover, and a retractable cover, and Councilmember Allen also suggested figures for a pool cover with additional operations. The administration will pursue the issue. DISCUSSION ON SOUTH SNOHOMISH COUNTY CHAMBER LETTER REGARDING RESCUE BOAT • The Chamber had written a letter urging the Edmonds City Council to submit the search and rescue boat proposal to a vote of the citizens. Parks and Recreation Director Steve Simpson had prepared a suggested response to their.position. He stated that the fire/rescue boat is a piece of equipment like the Medic 7 van and other emergency vehicles, and equipment purchases and expanded emergency services are not taken to a vote of the people. Further, citizen safety is an assumed responsibility of file municipali+,,1. He said the police and fire personnel need a boat since they are dispatched to help off -shore emergencies. He noted that the Chamber suggested that user fees be charged for use of this service, and he suggested.that where emergencies occur from negligence it may be appropriate to charge such fees. Councilmember Kasper said the Chamber's point was that this is moving into a new service and it is something the City will have to fund and set up a procedure to man and run it. Councilmember Gould said they had talked about the total scope of this project as being $30,000 being raised by the people and $15,000 by the City, and $15,000 is not enough to take before a vote of the people. He felt the community speaks by contributing to the fund and if they come up with their portion then the City should do what it committed to do. Councilmember Allen said this is a waterfront city and it has those obligations whether it wants them or not. She said she has not been terribly in favor of this but she certainly sees the need for it. She noted that the Coast Guard's answer time is 20-30 minutes, and she said Brackett's Landing and the Underwater Park have been promoted and the boat can be utilized there. She felt they had an obligation to the people of the City. Councilmember Naughten suggested that the Staff respond to the Chamber with a letter expressing the Council's views on this issue. Councilmember Kasper said Edmonds is maintaining -the entire waterfront, maintaining parks, and now going into a boat, and now there is the Meadowdale playfield to be developed. He thought other areas should take care of the other things or that a district should be created. Fire Chief Jack Weinz commented that one of the Chamber's statements was that Edmonds is venturing into a new service, and he noted that they did that with the aid service and never went to a vote of the people for that. DISCUSSION ON DR. DARYL BECK, AWC KEYNOTE SPEAKER Councilmember Allen said Dr. Beck had keynoted the most recent AWC conference and was one of the most interesting and challenging speakers she has ever heard. She thought he might have something 204 July 26, 1983 - continued • to offer the City or the City Council or both. She reviewed his credentials and some of the th.ings he has done, and she said he had talked about challenges in local government and the need for flexibility. She thought he would be excellent for a retreat. Councilmember Gould suggested that the Council President determine a fall retreat date and then they.could work from that. DISCUSSION ON FIREWORKS REGULATION WITHIN CITY LIMITS Fire Ch.ief Jack Weinz stated that there were 27 fire calls that were caused by fireworks from June 25 to July 6 and an estimated loss of $19,500. Total additional wages paid for July 4 was $914.62, and extra fuel cost for that day was $150. He said those costs were only because of fireworks in the City of Edmonds. Councilmember Gould asked how well tested the law has been as to banning fireworks in a city, and he suggested that possibly Edmonds should.be the one to test it. City Attorney Wayne Tanaka responded that it is well established that the City cannot prohibit what the State laws allow. Councilmember Gould observed that since all of the other alternatives are very weak, the easiest thing to do is to say there will not be any fireworks, but Mr. Tanaka said it was very unlikely that they would be able to prevail on something like that. Chief Weinz said something definitely should be done as they have no control now. He suggested.possibly restricting where they can be discharged or the hours they can be discharged. Mr. Tanaka said they have to be controlled at the point of sale and the City cannot do that because there are so many places outside of the, w City where they are sold, and especially the Indian reservations. COUNCILMEMBER GOULD MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, THAT THE CITY ATTORNEY BE INSTRUCTED TO DRAFT AN ORDINANCE STATING THE CITY OF EDMONDS SUPPORTS THE STATE LEGISLATURE'S RETURNING TO SAFE AND SANE FIREWORKS AND ATTACH THE LIST OF FIRES AND DAMAGE AS TYPICAL OF WHAT CITIES EXPERIENCE. MOTION CARRIED. FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETING (A) REPORT ON MID -YEAR FINANCIAL STATUS/SALES TAX EQUALIZATION REVENUE Finance Director Art Housler reviewed his written Mid -Year Financial Status Report which showed that • the financial status of the operating funds is good, as compared to the previous two years, and he said this is mainly because of the sales tax equalization revenue. B) DISCUSSION REGARDING COUNCIL SALARIES Figures were provided reflecting Council salaries .in other local cities. After a review, COUNCIL - MEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO ADOPT THOSE OF LYNNWOOD'S HIGH SIDE WHICH IS $200 PER MONTH BASE AND.$45 PER MEETING FOR THE FOUR POSITIONS UP FOR ELECTION. MOTION CARRIED. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST THEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN, THAT THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT AS OF JANUARY 1984 RECEIVE $300 AS A BASE PLUS $45 PER MEETING. Councilmember Hall thought that to be way out of proportion compared to the work the other Councilmembers do. She said the Council office is vacant and is utilized 1 - 1 1/2 hours a week by the Council President. THE MOTION CARRIED, WITH COUNCILMEMBER HALL VOTING NO. (C) DISCUSSION REGARDING 1984 COUNCIL BUDGET This item was deferred until August 23 because it refers to the Council Contingency Fund and there was no urgency.
