budget before dispatching costs are allocated to the other
participants. After the first full calendar year of participation
cost allocation will be as for all other participants. Provided

be calculated on a one (1) or two (2) year base, until a three

and authority to determine appropriate agency user costs for those
Services which the center may extend to participating agencies,
;municipalities or entities upon request upon determination by
the board that such costs should be directly assigned to a user
agency rather than shared by all agencies. The anticipated revenues

PROPOSED ORDINANCE REGARDING COMPENSATING TIPE FOR NONREPRESENTED, NONEXEMPT EMPLOYEES
Item C on Consent Agenda
Councilmember Jaech said the Council had been discussing strictly the nonrepresented,
nonexempt employees, but the department heads were included in the proposed ordinance.
City Attorney Wayne Tanaka explained that the entire compensatory time ordinance for
the whole City was redrafted, but there were no changes made to what currently exists
for department heads --the changes were only regarding the the nonrepresented, nonexempt
employees. He said the current ordinance provides for compensatory time for department
heads and assistant department heads, and this ordinance does not change that, but it
does put a cap on accumulation of compensatory time by nonrepresented, nonexempt -
employees. This proposed ordinance would leave everything status quo except for the
nonrepresented, nonexempt employees. Councilmember Gould suggested passing it and
then the Council can talk further about any additional changes for exempt employees.
MOTION: COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 2340
AND AT THE FEBRUARY 22 PERSONNEL MEETING TO REVIEW THE PORTION OF THE ORDINANCE
APPLICABLE TO EXEMPT EMPLOYEES. MOTION CARRIED.
PROPOSED ORDINANCE REGARDING PLANNING BOARD [Item (E) on Consent Aoendal.
Councilmember Naughten referred to 10.40.020A.1. on page 2 of the ordinance and said
it was his understanding that all members were to be residents of the City of Edmonds,
rather than "At least five members. . ." as stated in the proposed ordinance. That
was the consensus of the Council. City Attorney Wayne Tanaka explained that in
drafting the ordinance he had used a copy furnished by Mr. Mattson which had that
notation penned in, as had the official copy provided to the Clerk. COUNCILMEMBER
MOTION: NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER ALLEN, TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 2342 BUT IN
10.40.020A.1. ON PAGE 2 TO STRIKE THE WORDS "AT LEAST FIVE. . ." SO THAT IT READS
"MEMBERS OF THE BOARD MUST BE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS." MOTION CARRIED.
Councilmember Naughten commended Councilmember Gould for his leadership on this
issue, saying he thought they were now coming up with a better program and working
relationship. Councilmember Hall questioned the wording in 10.40.020B regarding the
term of appointment. She noted that following the statement of the length of term it
states ". . . and until the successor is appointed and confirmed." She noted that a
person may be unable to continue for one reason or another, such as if he moves out
of the area. City Attorney Wayne Tanaka responded that most elective offices,
including Council positions, have this provision as it provides for situations such
as when there is a problem confirming an appointee and there is no quorum --this way
the board can still conduct business.
AUTHORIZATION TO INCREASE PAYMENT TO WASHINGTON APPRAISAL SERVICE FROM $700 TO $860
FOR LID 211 Item (H) on Consent A endal
Councilmember Gould questioned the reason for the increase. City Engineer Jim Adams
explained that the appraiser had attended two meetings. One had been at Mr. Adams'
office on December 3 at which the appraiser discussed the method of assessment, and
the other had been the City Council meeting which he attended to answer any questions.
He had been hired by the Rowes, and at the end of the presentation made by the Rowes'
attorney the attorney had asked the Council if they would agree to pay the costs,
which he assumed were $700, not being aware of the additional $160 for the two
meetings. Mr. Adams noted that most of this would still be paid by the Rowes.
Councilmember Kasper suggested paying for the hour the appraiser worked with the City
Engineer but not for anything else, and Councilmember Gould agreed, saying he saw no
reason to pay the $80 unless the appraiser was invited to testify. COUNCILMEMBER
MOTION: KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER GOULD, TO INCREASE THE PAYMENT TO WASHINGTON
APPRAISAL SERVICE FROM $700 TO $780 FOR LID 211. MOTION CARRIED.
