CITY OF EDMONDS
CITY COUNCIL RETREAT
MAY 18, 19, 1990
ALDERBROOK INN
The Edmonds City Council Retreat convened at 9:30 a.m., Friday, May
18th at Alderbrook Inn.
Session I
Friday, May 18
9:30 - Noon
Council President Nordquist welcomed all retreat participants and
thanked them for their participation in this year's retreat.
FERRY ISSUES
Council President Nordquist said that a meeting was held on Thursday,
May 17, with the Transportation Commission concerning Edmonds Ferry
issues, and he reported that it went very well.
Councilmember Kasper said that progress was made, and felt that the
Commission really was listening to what the Council had to say
concerning the possible relocation. Councilmember Jaech agreed, and
said that from a conversation she had with a Commission member, they
were all impressed with the presentation from the Edmonds City
Council. Councilmember Jaech said that it would be a good idea to form
a coalition with Kingston and Kitsap transit, with regards to a
proposed intermodal complex located at the Union Oil site, and the
Mayor and Council agreed.
The Council discussed the meeting further, and decided that it would be
a good idea for each Councilmember to write a short letter to the
commissioners that they personally talked to during the meeting. The
letter should be a personal letter thanking them for their time and for
their support.
Mayor Naughten said that a united front needs to be established with
regards to moving the ferry, and he feels a design should be developed
for the possible new site. Mayor Naughten also said a visual
presentation should be forumulated so the the public can have an
opporunity to see what the proposed site would look like, as well as
what the present site would loom like without the ferry.
Administrative Director, Peter Hahn, reported that the study could be
done for approximately $5,000. The consensus was to go ahead with the
design study and visual presentation. Mayor Naughten said that when
the visual presentation is completed, it could be taken to local
organizations so they could see the positive impact that the relocation
would have on the community.
Mayor Naughten suggested having a joint meeting with the three state
legislatures to tell them that their support is needed in the area of
ferry relocation. Mayor Naughten said that he would set up a
1
legislative dinner between the Council and the three state
legislatures. Councilmember Jaech commented that a letter should be
drafted to tie down funding.
Councilmember Hertrich feels that a citizen's committee should be
formed concerning ferry issues. He feels that community involvement is
essential so that the issue is not one sided, with the public having no
opportunity to contribute.
Council President Nordquist said that he would write a letter to the
Commission thanking them for having their meeting in Edmonds.

FUNDING ISSUES - ART HOUSLER
Art Housler, Administrative Services Manager, distributed information
regarding Funding issues, which follows this brief outline.
Mr. Housler explained the different types of bonds that exist and went
on to explain each of them. He said that there are three major types
of governmental bonds;
1) General Obligation Bonds,
o Non voted or councilmatic. This requires an ordinance be
adopted.
o Voted issues/60% of those voting in that election for the item
that is on
the ballot.
2) Revenue Bonds
o Can be used for various facilities in the city. The City of
Edmonds has used revenue bonds for water/sewer. The Revenue
bond can be used for anything that generates revenue.
3) Special Assessment bonds (LID's). Mr. Housler then went on to
review the bond capacity/debt.
Mr. Housler also showed a comparison chart of General Obligation Bond
Indebtness, and out of 21 cities, Edmonds is rated number 18, with
number 1 being the highest rate of indebtness, and number 21 having the
lowest rate of indebtness.

Briefly, the City of Edmonds citizens have only approved one General Obligation
bond issue in the past 30 years. On November 8, 1960 the voters approved the
issuance of $483,000 in bonds for the construction of a civic center and $17,000
for a fire station (see back of this page). Since then there have been several
General Obligation bond issues, but they all have been non -voted (Councilmatic).

May 11, 1990
On behalf of the City Council, I would like to welcome you all to the
1990 City Council Retreat at Alderbrook Inn!! It has been a lot of fun
working with Mayor Naughten and our Council Secretary on this year's
retreat.
Enclosed, you will find in this packet, all pertinent information
regarding the retreat. Please keep in mind when leaving for Alderbrook
Inn, you should allow yourself two, to two and a half hours driving
time. There are several ways to get there, however, I have found that
going through Gorst and Belfair, and then following the sound, which
leads to the so called "canal", is a better way to go. Please keep in
mind there are no transportation arrangements. The retreat will start
promptly at 9:30 A.M. on Friday, May 18, and there will be a
continental breakfast waiting for you beginning at 9:00 A.M. in our
conference room.
We have made provisions for each of you to have your own room, and your
room number is included in this packet. There is also a Golf Course,
Tennis Courts, and other recreational activities to participate in
during your spare time, so please take advantage of these.
The retreat is structured so that it encompasses the present and future
needs of our City. We have also allowed time for open discussion, as
you will see on the schedule. Underneath this title is "or what's
bugging you". This will be a good opportunity for anyone to express
their point of views on any subject.
I look forward to our time together, and know it will be a very
productive retreat. See you at Alderbrook!
Sincere .y,
John ordquist
