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. 2 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. 3 ATIVASAU AW K /o pages C O N T E N T S ---------------- ---------------- 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).

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!
