19830809 City Council Minutes_4 .0"
August 2, 1983 - continued •
Councilmember Naughten inquired about the striping of 7th Ave.,.when it would be redone, and City
Engineer Jim.Adams.r.esponded that it was striped incorrectly the first time and that generated
citizen concern -'so now the people`would'l-ike a public hearing before it is striped again. COUNCIL -
MEMBER NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, TO PLACE SUCH HEARING ON THE AUGUST 30
AGENDA. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilmember Allen stated that Ward Phillips has filed for a City Council position and he lives in
Woodway, and she thought the Council should do something about it. Councilmember Gould asked the
City Attorney if it is a proper expenditure of City funds to determine if all the candidates are
residents of the City. Mr. Tanaka responded that it is State law that a candidate for City Council
or Mayor be a registered voter at the date of filing and be a resident for one year, as of his
election, of the City in which he is filing. Residence is a physical presence in the area with the
intent to remain, but he said in determining residence you have to look at various tests or indica-
tions, such as where he gets his mail, where he votes, where his residence is, the address on his
driver's license, etc. As far as the City is concerned, he had some question about whether or not
the City has any proper interest in this as the City. He said that obviously the person's opponent
would have an interest in it, and Councilmember Allen said she is not up for election. Mr. Tanaka
said the assurance of residency is difficult to prove. Councilmember Gould said he thinks people
look to him, as a City Councilman, as a person who makes sure this kind of thing is handled one way
or another, and if he sees something that looks like it may be an impropriety he looks into it. He
said Edmonds is a Code City and has the authority of a Code City, and he thought this should be
aired and if there is a proper channel for him to pursue this, it is part of his duty. He said if
the person is a legal candidate, they should say so, and if he is not, they should also say that.
Councilmember Hall said the State law is there and the voters should beware. Councilmember Kasper
observed that by raising the question they were almost putting an onus on him.
Councilmember Allen had received a call from a neighbor of Albertsons at Westgate, a BN zone, and
the caller was unhappy that the parking lot is being cleaned between 11:30 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. and •
that they are using noisy equipment. The caller also was not happy with the way Albertsons had kept
to their agreement about landscaping. City Attorney Wayne Tanaka said the Noise Ordinance would
apply in this case, and Assistant City Planner Duane Bowman added that the same complaint had been
received regarding the Safeway parking lot, and he thought it may be the same contractor. He said
at the hour that the complaints come in, the only personnel available to respond are the police.
COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER GOULD, THAT THE CITY CONTACT THESE TWO STORES
AND SEE IF THEY CAN COOPERATE TO CHANGE THEIR PARKING LOT CLEANING HOURS. Councilmember Gould's
second was with the understanding that the stores also have the option to put on muffling equipment.
THE MOTION CARRIED. A report was requested in approximately two weeks.
There was no further business to come before the Council, and the meeting adjourned at 11:20 p.m.

Mayor Harrison stated that Councilmember Hall had invited a guest to address the Council. Council -
member Hall introduced Jerry Bergsman, the Area Administrator for Senior League Baseball, a part of
the Little League program. He discussed their need to use school playfields and the shortage of
playfields. He said their organization would be glad to enter into an agreement to maintain a
school playfield if they had some special privilege to use it at least three nights a week. He
said, when questioned about the Woodway field, that he would not suggest that particular field for
such a proposal but if the school district said that field was available that way they probably
would do it. Regarding the proposed Meadowdale playfield, he said he would like to see it developed
by the two cities and the school district and be controlled by them. He did not particularly favor
a recreation district. He said Little League likes lighted -fields, but he personally feels they are
only necessary during tournaments because they make it possible to schedule more games. He thought
priority should be given to local people for the use of the fields, particularly in dealing with
school district fields that were built on bond issues. He was asked numerous questions relating to
use of the fields, and then he was thanked for. sharing.his information with the Council.
Mayor Harrison had received a letter from the President of the Edmonds Branch of the American •
•
August 9, 1983 - continued
Association of Universi+v Women requesting use of the Plaza Meeting Room at no charge on November 5,
1983, a Saturday morning. Their speaker will be Brock Evans, National Vice -President of the Audubon
Society, from Washington, D.C., and he will he discussing what is happening in Washington, D.C.
which affects Washington State environmentally. Mayor Harrison said the American Association of
University Women is a nonprofit organization whose members have been active in volunteer service in
this community for the past ten years, and he recommended approving the request. It was noted that
a similar request from the Cancer .Society had been refused, but that had been a fund-raising event.
Parks and Recreation Director Steve Simpson said they allow no outside groups to use any of the City
facilities without charge u��1ess tl�e City is an official sponsor or co-sponsor of t"c group, anu
they try to stay out of fund-raising activities. Councilmember Allen, a member of this group, said
she did not think it should be allowed just because they are a nonprofit, nice group, but she thought
they had a service to offer. COUNCILMEMBER NAIIGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO
GRANT THE REQUEST WITH THE CITY AS A CO-SPONSOR OF THE EVENT, BASED ON THE FACT THAT THE CITY WILL
BE A CO-SPONSOR AND THAT REQUESTING PARTY IS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION. Councilmember Gould did not
think the City's policy was well enough established to grant this request and he felt the policy
should be worked on to be.sure all aspects are covered. Councilmember Jaech agreed with him. A
ROLL CALL VOTE WAS TAKEN ON THE MOTION, 14ITH COUNCILMEMBERS NAUGHTEN AND KASPER VOTING YES, COUNCIL -
MEMBERS GOULD AND JA.ECH VOTING NO, AND COUNCILMEMBERS ALLEN AND HALL ABSTAINING BECAUSE THEY ARE
MEMBERS OF THE GROUR, RESULTING IN A TIE MOTE. MAYOR HARRISON VOTE) YES TO BREAK THE TIE, AND THE
MOTION CARRIED. Mr. Simpson stated that it is requested that the City of Edmonds' name be included
in all advertising when it co-sponsors an event.
Mayor Harrison had a liquor 14§ccnsc request for Eric Andersen .-rho o:-rns and operates the Five Corners
Deli.and Grocery. He will convert his video game arcade and use that space for soeci'alty wines and
imported beer. The request was for a class E and F license (beer and wine by the package or bottle
for consumption off -premises). It was noted that he already has such a license for -the existing
business. The Police Chief had investigated and recommended approval. COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED,
• SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REQUESTED LICENSE. i+i0TION CARRIED.

tion. Congratulations were extended.
Mayor Harrison reported that the treasure hunt at Underwater Park had been successful and raised

Councilmember Kasper asked whether Edmonds is on two corners of thatintersection, which it is.
COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER ALLEN, TO APPROVE ITEM (H) ON THE CONSENT
AGENDA. MOTION CARRIED.
AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF STORM DRAINAGE FACILITY AT 202ND AND 80TH
Item I on Consent Agenda
This bid previously had been awarded 'to Danco Construction, the low bidder, but U'anco Construction
returned the contract and stated they did not desire -to perform the contract. The City had their
bid bone in the form of a cashier's check for $700, although the bid bond requirement was 5% of the
bid, or $587.30. The City Engineer recommended refunding the excess over `;i587.30, and awarding the
bid to the next- loi,,est bidder, Grade, Inc., at $15,487.50 plus sales tax. Councilmember Gould said
this was a great inconvenience to the people who want to get the project done. He asked why the
City did not keep the entire bid bond.put.up by the bidder. 111r. Adams said when the gentleman gave
the bid bond he had a check for $700 and did not have time to cash that check and -et another check
for the correct amount, and only 5% legally can be required. City Attorney Mark Eames. said if it is
part of the specifications that only 5% is required, the City is bound by the specifications. He
said he could research the question. Councilmember Gould said the next bidder will charge a great

deal more than the low bidder had bid. Mr. Adams said that at the time of the bid the bidder said
it was a good bid, and now he does not have the people to do it, but it is likely that he bid too
low. COUNCILMEMBER GOULD MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER ALLEN, TO APPROVE THE AWARD OF THE
CONTRACT TO THE SECOND LOWEST BIDDER, AS STATED, AND TO OBTAIN FURTHER ADVICE ON THE BOND OF THE
FIRST LOW BIDDER. MOTION CARRIED.
DISCUSSION OF REQUEST TO AMEND CONTRACT REZONE AGREEMENT WITH LaPIERRE INDUSTRIES AND
THE CITY OF EDMONDS
Planning Director Mary Lou Block stated that the subject contract rezone agreement stipulated that
neither party would apply to amend the contract for a period of 24 months from the execution date,
but since the signing of the contract LaPierre Industries has found that there has not been enough
demand for commercial/office use and wishes to apply for an amendment to the contract to allow
multi -family residential use. This is two months early of the 24-month restriction, and the staff
had no objection to the earlier processing of an application. Councilmember Gould observed that
since the people on the Planning Board now are not the same ones who approved the original rezone
they should.be furnished the data that supports the contract rezone so they know the history of it.
COUNCILMEMBER GOULD MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO FORWARD TO THE PLANNING BOARD FOR
CONSIDERATION THE REQUEST FOR THE CONTRACT REZONE AMENDMENT. MOTION CARRIED. It was noted that
this was not to indicate that the City Council recommended the amendment.
DISCUSSION RE UTILIZATION OF HUD FUNDS FOR NORTH MEADOWDALE SEWER PROJECT
City Engineer Jim Adams said he would not have an accurate best estimate of costs for two weeks, but
at this time his best estimate indicates it would cost approximately $100,000 extra to go with the
two bid document option for HUD. He provided figures to substantiate his statement. He recom-
mended, instead, taking the option of using the HUD funds for the original three projects, and he
said the Meadowdale project could be started much faster without HUD. He noted that there are five •
easements yet to -be obtained and that City Attorney Wayne Tanaka had indicated they will have them
within three weeks, so they could start then. If the project were to go with the HUD funds there
would still be 16 other easements to be acquired, and they would have to be appraised and offers
made, and if the offers based on appraisal were not accepted they would have to go through condemna-
tion proceedings. Also, if they have to pay $2,000-$3,000 to each of those people there may be
problems from the others who did not' receive payment. Councilmember Gould discussed alternatives to
doing the project without HUD funds. He said they could reduce the number of already authorized but
not obligated projects, adding up to $442,000. Another alternative was to have the LID pick up part
of the $252,000, if that was possible. Or the City could pick up the difference from the General
Fund and use the 1/2t sales tax additional revenue. Or the scope of the project could be shrunk.
Mr. Adams said that would be difficult. COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
ALLEN, TO GO FORWARD WITH THE PROJECT WITHOUT THE HUD FUNDS. Councilmember Kasper said they were
obligated to do some of the projects and from his point of view they should do them and if the HUD
funds are not going to be used for the sewer project they should do it from the General Fund.
COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED TO AMEND THE MOTION, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO PLACE AN ITEM ON
THE AUGUST 23, 1983 AGENDA WHEN THE FINANCE DIRECTOR CAN RECOMMEND ANOTHER SOURCE OF FUNDING, OTHER
THAN CANCELING ANY OF THE PROJECTS. Both Councilmember Kasper and Councilmember Hall thought Marc
Krandel's decision regarding the HUD funds could be contested. THE MOTION TO AMEND CARRIED. THE
MAIN MOTION, AS AMENDED, THEN CARRIED. City Attorney Mark Eames stated that in order to enable the
Attorney's Office to acquire the five easements authorization for condemnation was needed, by
passage of an ordinance, which he had prepared and presented at this time. COUNCILMEMBER HALL
MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER ALLEN, TO PASS ORDINANCE 2391, AUTHORIZING CONDEMNATION FOR THE
ACQUISITION OF CERTAIN EASEMENTS. MOTION CARRIED.
A recess was announced.
PERSONNEL MEETING
(A) RECONSIDERATION.OF RECLASSIFICATION OF EXECUTIVE SECRETARY POSITION •
Personnel Director Pat LeMay recommended the reclassification to NE-9, based on an internal analysis
of job factors which reflected a hi.gher level of responsibilty. One member of the City Council was
not present, John Nordquist, and he had called from Victoria to say he was delayed on business. He
had asked that the decision on this item be delayed until he could participate in it. It was
commented that the Council has consistently honored such a request from a Councilmember. Council -
member Hall said she may not be present next week and if she is not she would like the action
delayed again so she may participate. COUNCILMEMBER GOULD MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH,
TO PLACE THIS ITEM ON NEXT WEEK'S AGENDA FOR ACTION IF THE FULL COUNCIL IS PRESENT. MOTION CARRIED.
(B) REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE EVALUATION FOR NONREPRESENTED PERSONNEL
Personnel Director Pat LeMay provided a revised form, as well as various forms from other juris-
dictions for comparison. Councilmember Jaech stated that people must be properly trained to use the
form, and Mr. LeMay said he will schedule further training sessions. He was asked if there is a
plan to tie the overall evaluation to salary, and he responded that it greatly influences the merit
adjustment. Councilmember Allen thought the form was too long and too complicated, saying the
supervisors were being asked to spend a lot of time filling out papers and every hour spent on that
could be spent on City business. She thought the form should be streamlined. Councilmember Kasper
disagreed, saying the more detail the more challenge you will get. He found that half of the
information is hearsay, and he said supervisors can change. Mr. LeMay said appraisal should be a
continuing thing and there should be documentation all during the year. Councilmember Gould said
people want to do a good job and it is very important to find out how they performed, and a person
wants to know what he is doing well and what needs improvement. Further, it is the supervisor's job
to know what they are doing and to tell them. He thought it might take two hours to fill out the
performance evaluation form and another hour to discuss it with the employee. The form presented
was accepted.

(C) TEMPORARY PUBLIC SERVICE. PROJECTS
The Council had asked for further information on -the remaining projects. Councilmember Allen stated
at this time that she had taken a tour of the trails in Yost Park and she now realized that Yost
Park needs a lot of attention. She said it gel,.s a lot of use and she noted that the project had
been scaled down, but she -thought they should gc back; to the original project and do it. She added
that none of the other parks are dangerous like Yost Park --that there are many places with liability
potential in Yost Par:. CeUncilmembers Hall and Kasper expressed agreement. Buildings and Grounds
Supervisor Felix d0ieilo said it was a 100-year storm that did so much damage and sunk: the floating
bridge, and he does not expect tthat to occur again, but they have not considered maintenance people
for the maintenance of the park. COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL?111ENBER ALLEN, TO DO
PROJECT IX (196TH SIDEWALKS AND STREET CLEAN-UP) AND PROJECT X (REBUILDING OF TRAILS AND BRIDGES IN
YOST PARK) AS PROPOSED AND TO LEAVE THE REST IPA RESERVE TO SEE HOW MUCH GETS DONE IN PROJECT X.
Councilmember Gould favored approving all three projectts with the understanding tAiat the staff look
at the balance of work to be done in Yost Park to be sure it is safe for the citizens, and then, they
can look at the $6,500 remaining at a later date. He said the question of having adequate staff to
maintain the facilities needs to be in the 1984 budget. Councilmember Hall agreed. A ROLL CALL
VOTE WAS TAKEN ON THE 140TION, WITH COU'NCILMEMBERS KASPER, ALLEN, NAUGHTEN, AND JAECH VOTING YES, AND
WITH COUNCILMEHEERS GOULD AND HALL VOTING NO. 1,10TION CARRIED.
DISCUSSICN OF SHARED SERVICES
Councilmember Kasper reviewed the various meetings he had attended with various officials. He found
interest in the idea of consolidating fire services in Mountlake Terrace and also in the PSCOG. At
the June meeting four Fire Chiefs were present and there was a general consensus that consolidation
of the fire services should be considered. A meeting was scheduled for September 28, 1983 at which
time the Fire Chiefs are to report as to the sharing of services that is occurring now. Last Wednesday
night there was a newspaper article which was very negative about the concept. The Fire Chief ,at
Mountlake Terrace recently had a heart attack, and he was the one who had -spearheaded this. He'will
not be active in this for some time. Councilmember Kasper said all but Lynnwood showed interest,
but Mayor Hrdlicka has indicated he would listen. He said there are at least three Fire Chiefs, two
cities, and Fire District 1 which are interested in looking at it, and there are also two contracting
agencies, Brier and Woodway. He also said there is a lot of interest in the concept statewide. He
thought that possibly they should also see what the fire rating bureaus think. Councilmember Allen
stated that regardless of what the newspaper said, and regardless of Lynnwood's position, there are
two cities and a fire district that are interested in working through the problems that are evolving,
and she did not think: it was so much a matter of saving money, noting that they ar;, consolidating in
all but fact now because each fire department covers the other in case of emergency. She noted. that
there would be problems in the different schedules and the details of the process, but she thought
they were at a point where the elected officials have to take action, and she thought Edmonds should
reaffirm that it is still interested. Councilmember Naughten said they want to pursue consolidation
if it is cost effective or gives service improvement. Councilmember Kasper will contin.,E on the
project.
COUNCIL
Councilmember Hall distributed o lice statements from the Library Board and a list of the art in the
library. Councilmember Allen noted that the first raintina the Council purchased from the Arts
Festival was for the library (Summer Light by F. 3.'INelson) and they want it now, so it should be
moved to the library. There was general agreement.
Councilmember Hall reported that she had attended the museum's anniversary celebration which she
found very interesting.
Councilmember Hall reported that the Performing Arts group will have a hearing regarding the boundary
•
on August 15 at 2:00 p.m. T' e north boundary line will be or000sc.d -to be 148th.
Councilmember Hall acknowl edc;ec'. a 1 otter of thanks from the "arts Festi v•_t1 people.
Councilmember Hall noted that there was a letter from Dorothy Williamson about the olayfield problems
over the weekend. She acknowledged that when people start gathering before 8:00 a.m. it is a problem.
COUNCILMEMBER ALLEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, TO PLACE ON THE AUGUST 23, 1983 AGENDA A
DISCUSSION OF BRACKETT' S LANCING, REACH, AN. :�,k_S'1 TO °LACE IT 0?' T;':F SEPTEMBER YJ, 1383 A.GFiVDA FOR

Counci lmQmher Al I en noted that Daryl Beck wi 11 be redoing hi s workshop for ANC on September 21 ,
"Managing
1983, the subject being Conflict in Your Organization," at the Sea-Tac Marriott. She had
made 10 reservations for Council and staff. She noted that there will be another AiJC workshop on
"Exploring Classification and Pay" on August 31, 1983.
Councilmember Naughten read a letter from Dan Rice requesting permission for various things in
connection with the "Taste of Edmonds." He thought most of them had already been coordinated.
Councilmember Naughten commended Police Chief Marl o Foster for saving tkie Ci t;V some money by going
back to Kansas City to obtain a new animal control transport body. The amount saved was $1,970.10.
COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER.GOULD, THAT BECAUSE OF THE ELECTIONS THE
REGULAR SEPTEMBER 20, 1983 MFFTING RE HELD ON SEPTFPI°�'•' 19, 1983, AND THAT THE REGULAR NOVEMBER 8,
1983 MEETING BE HELD NOVEMBER 7, 1983. MOTION CARRIED, WITH C01-IMCILMEMBER KASPE; ABSTAINING.
Councilmember Naughten acknowledged the request for payment from the Mountlake Terrace Parks and
Recreation Department of the $1,800 Edmonds budgeted for support of recreation services for develop-
mentally disabled at the Recreation Pavilion. COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL -
MEMBER ALLEN, TO APPROVE THE PAYMENT. MOTION CARRIED.
•
August 9, 1983 - continued •
Councilmember Naughten inquired about the maintenance schedule for City Park because he had been
there Monday evening and it was unsightly. Acting Public Works Superintendent Bobby Mills responded
that he has people working there seven days a week.
Council President Jaech proposed a change to the agenda to make the meetings more timely and give
more consideration to the people who are present for scheduled items. COUNCIL PRESIDENT JAECH
MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER ALLEN, TO CHANGE THE FORMAT TO PUT THE REGULAR ITEMS FIRST, FOL-
LOWED BY THE CONSENT AGENDA, THEN THE MAYOR, AND THEN THE COUNCIL. MOTION CARRIED. (Subsequent to
this, following a discussion with the Clerk regarding problems created by delaying the Consent
Agenda portion, she agreed, on a temporary basis, to place the Consent Agenda items before the
regular agenda items.)
Councilmember Gould acknowledged a letter from Willis Tucker regarding an evaluation of existing
filing fees, inasmuch as the agreement between Snohomish County and the City of Edmonds for district
court services terminates on December 31, 1983.
Councilmember Gould expressed some concerns about the work meetings being held in the small meeting
room. He thought that citizens felt intimidated by the closed door and a room full of people, and
that the Council should always give the appearance of welcoming the public. Councilmember Allen
noted that the part that:had worked in the small room was that they had adhered to the rule of no
audience participation at work meetings. It was decided to move back to the main meeting room for
work meetings but to use the rectangular table configuration.
There was no further business to come before the Council, and the meeting adjourned at 10:45 p.m.
