1. The burden shall be upon the applicant to supply all material required by the
provisions of this section and as necessary to meet the requirements of Chapter 20.10 ECDC. The
applicant may supplement the original application in the event an application is deemed incomplete
by the development services director or designee. Vesting shall occur only when the application is
deemed complete by the development services director. Failure to supplement an incomplete
application within 90 days of final ADB approval shall result in forfeiture of all fees paid and no
vesting right shall attach.
2. The application shall expire along with all rights vested 180 days following the date
of application if final architectural design approval is not received.
a. The development services director or designee may issue an extension for an
additional period, not exceeding 180 days, upon written request by the applicant(s) or their
agent(s). Such request for extension shall be filed prior to the expiration of the original application
time period. An extension shall be granted if the architectural design board has not yet considered
the application or an appeal thereof is pending.
b. The time period shall run concurrently with the periods established by ECDC
19.00.005 as the same exists or is hereafter amended. No application shall be extended more than
once. In order to renew an application after expiration, the applicant shall resubmit all required
information and pay a new plan review fee.
3. The applicant shall comply with all provisions of state law and regulation and this
code regarding SEPA review. Review periods or delays occasioned by SEPA shall stay the time
periods set by this chapter.
4. Following final ADB approval, the applicant shall file the plans and information
required by IBC Section 106. It is anticipated that minor adjustments and changes may and are
usually required to the plans submitted as a result of the plan review and administrative process;
provided, that the following changes shall not be considered "minor" and shall forfeit vesting
rights, and shall require the filing of a new application:
a. Any substantial change not required by the terms of ADB approval.
19-11
Packet Page 14 of 132
b. Any increase in height or total square footage or any change which would
change the occupancy classification for the purposes of the state building code.
5. Any decision of the city staff regarding the application stated in this section and its
interpretation shall be appealable only to the superior court of Snohomish County by Land Use
Petition Act and is not subject to the provisions of Chapter 20.105 ECDC.
C. The rights vested by ECDC 19.00.015 and this section refer only to zoning and building
code rights protected by RCW 19.27.095.
D. These sections shall not be interpreted to create vesting rights not protected by RCW
19.27.095 and shall not be interpreted as a further limitation on the administrative obligations and
legislative powers of the city. By way of illustration and not limitation, this chapter does not limit:
1. The city council's authority to create local improvement districts.
2. The city council's authority to legislate life safety requirements that are not required
to recognize existing vested rights.
3. Environmental and shorelines review and mitigation procedures.

BUILDING PERMITS - EARTH SUBSIDENCE AND
LANDSLIDE HAZARD AREAS
Sections:

19.10.020 Definitions.
19.10.030 Minimum required application submissions.

19.10.080 Site access, professional/special inspection monitoring during construction and
final geotechnical report.
19.10.000 Statement of purpose and application.
A. This chapter has been enacted in order to provide both substantive and procedural
provisions relating to the issuance of permits within designated earth subsidence and landslide
hazard areas of the city. It shall be the policy of the city that no permit shall be issued for any site
which is found to be unsuitable for improvement due to excessively steep slopes, unsatisfactory
foundation support, instability or unsuitable topography for the particular permit requested for
issuance. When development occurs on an unstable site, an unreasonable risk of danger may exist
to the public, to public improvements or to adjacent property owners. If such a site can be
stabilized through the construction of on -site improvements, that risk may be reduced.
B. The construction of professionally designed structures addressing the risks of earth
movement, and employing feasible attendant measures (including but not limited to: drainage
improvements, specially designed foundations, retaining walls, removal of overburden and other
improvements designed to minimize the risk of earth movement, prevent avoidable damage to
structures, safeguard adjacent properties, limit risk to inhabitants, and to stabilize the structure in
the event of movement) may mitigate and reduce the risk of earth movement on individual
properties. Nothing herein shall relieve an owner of any obligation imposed by the State Building
Code or City ordinance to take all reasonable and practical measures available to reduce or
eliminate the risk or hazard.
C. The IRC/IBC, as promulgated by the state of Washington and required to be adopted by the
city, does not specify a standard regarding lot stability. Since the city's request for an interpretation
of the uniform building code by the state building code council to designate an acceptable level of
lot stability was denied, and because the city wishes to comply with state law requiring that the
issuance of building permits be a ministerial and not a discretionary act, the provisions of this
chapter have been adopted in order to provide reasonable certainty in the permit issuance process.
The purpose of these provisions is not to lessen the minimum requirements of the current adopted
building code, but rather to define its requirements for city implementation.
19-19
Packet Page 22 of 132
D. These provisions have been adopted in order to establish a policy that permits shall not be
issued for any site where a substantial risk of earth subsidence and landslide hazard exist unless:
1. The risks can be defined with reasonable scientific certainty and found to be within
acceptable limits as determined in accordance with this chapter.
2. Any hazard associated with the site is scientifically ascertained and fully disclosed
through the permit process.
3. Notice of any risk is given to future purchasers through the land records of
Snohomish County.
4. Any risks associated with construction and habitation are assumed by the builder
and future owners of the site.
5. Adequate indemnification is provided by the builder, and the owner of, the site in
order that the general public not assume or bear any portion of the costs or liability associated with
the builder's investigation, design and construction as well as the continuing maintenance of the
site by the property owner.
E. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this ordinance or the IRC/IBC, all applications
for permits received for any site, any portion of which lies within an earth subsidence and landslide
hazard area, shall be governed by the provisions of this chapter. In addition to all other
requirements of these sections, the restrictions and provisions of this chapter shall apply to all
building, grading, fill and excavation permits (herein "permits"). Minor permits such as plumbing,
mechanical, re -roof and interior alterations are exempt from the requirements of this chapter.
F. All applications for 19.10 ECDC permits shall disclose within the geotechnical report
whether or not any part of the site lies within, or adjacent to an earth subsidence and landslide
hazard area or within a critical area as defined by the city's environmentally critical areas title. The
building official may require preliminary investigation by a geotechnical engineer for any applicant
whose property lies within or lies adjacent to a known earth subsidence landslide hazard area, or
within a known hazard area, or areas with steep slopes or unusual topography or which has a
history of earth movement in order to assist the building official in determining whether these
provisions should be applied.
G. Nothing in this chapter should or shall be interpreted to guarantee issuance of a permit with
respect to any property unless the requirements of the IRC/IBC as amended and interpreted by this
chapter have been met.
19.10.010 Section` amendments.
The provisions of this section amend the 2003 edition of the IRC/IBC and all subsequent revisions
adopted by RCW 19.27.031 as the state building code as previously amended by Chapter 19.05
ECDC. All prior substantive amendments have received the approval of the state building code
council. All provisions of the IRC/IBC which conflict with this chapter shall be deemed amended
hereby, and any ambiguity created, shall be resolved in favor of the specific provision or general
intent of said chapter. In addition to the amendments of the IRC/IBC by its alteration,
improvement and correction to incorporate the chapter, the following specific code provisions are
19-20
Packet Page 23 of 132
amended and the substantive and procedural requirements of Chapter 19.10 ECDC are amended by
the correction and alteration of the following sections of the IRC/IBC:
A. Chapter 1 Administration.
1. Section R105.1.1 Permit Review Applicability. Any permit requested for a site
lying in whole or in part within an earth subsidence and landslide hazard area as defined by ECDC
19.10.020(F) shall be processed and acted upon in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 19.10
ECDC.
2. Section R105.2 Work exempt from a permit. ECDC 19.00.010 exemptions A, B, D,
E, F, G, J, K, M, and P and ECDC 19.05.010 exemptions, A, C, and D shall not apply in any area
designated as an earth subsidence and landslide hazard area as defined in ECDC 19.10.020(F).
3. Section R105.3.2 Time limitation of permit application.
a. Applications, for which no permit is issued within two (2) year following the
date of application, shall expire by limitation, and plans and other data submitted for review may
thereafter be returned to the applicant or destroyed by the building official.
b. The building official may not extend the time for action by the applicant on
an expired application. In order to renew action on an expired application, the applicant shall
submit a new application, revised plans based on current adopted codes and pay new plan review
fees as well as any outstanding peer review fees incurred to date.
4. Section R105.5 Permit expiration and extension.
a. Every permit issued under the provisions and development standards of
Chapter 19.10 ECDC shall expire by limitation two (2) years after issuance, except as provided in
ECDC 19.00.005(A)(6)(b).
b. Prior to expiration of an active permit the applicant may request in writing an
extension for a third and final year. If the plans and specifications for the permit extension
application are the same as the plans and specifications submitted for the original permit
application and provided there has been at least one (1) required progress inspection conducted by
the city building inspector prior to the extension, the permit shall be extended. Permit fees shall be
charged at a rate of one half the original building permit fee to extend the permit.
C. The maximum amount of time any building permit may be extended shall be
a total of three (3) years. At the end of any three (3) year period starting from the original date of
permit issuance, the permit shall become null and void and a new building permit shall be required,
with full fees, in order for the applicant to complete work. The issuance of a new permit shall
negate all previous vesting of zoning or building codes. Whenever an appeal is filed and a
necessary development approval is stayed in accordance with the Land Use Petition Act, the time
limit periods imposed under this section shall also be stayed until final decision.
d. The building official shall reject requests for permit extensions if
modifications or amendments to the applicable zoning and building codes have occurred since the
original issuance of the permit, and modifications or amendments would significantly promote
public health and safety if applied to the project through the issuance of a new permit.
5. Section R105.5.1 Recommence work on an expired permit.
a. In order to recommence work on an expired permit, a new permit application
with full fees shall be submitted to the building official.
19-21
Packet Page 24 of 132
b. New permit applications shall be reviewed under current zoning and building
codes in effect at the time of complete application submittal. If a new permit is sought to
recommence work on an expired permit, the new permit shall be vested under the codes in effect at
the time of complete application for the new permit, not the expired permit. When additional plan
review is required, plan review fees shall be charged. When applicable peer review and peer
review fees shall be assessed.
6. Section R106.3.3.1 Phased approval.
a. The building official may require sequencing of construction phases or
activities such as the installation of shoring or temporary erosion control remedies and/or drainage
systems, well in advance of grading or foundation construction on a time frame consistent with
geotechnical recommendations and peer review. As part of the sequencing process, the building
official may impose permit conditions that address site work sequencing to include but not limited
to: limiting all excavation, drainage systems and foundation installation to the dryer season
between May lst and September 30th.
b. When permit conditions such as groundwork are limited by the building
official on a particular project, the applicants' geotechnical engineer may submit a letter detailing
geotechnical recommendations that portions of work may progress. The letter shall include a
detailed work schedule submitted by the general contractor specifying work to be done, timeline,
provisions for monitoring and equipment to be used. Any such recommendation shall be based
upon best available science and be consistent with standard geotechnical engineering practice. The
building official may require a peer review prior to a decision which provides concurrence
regarding at least the following issues:
i. duration of work, s
ii. type of equipment to use,
iii. additional temporary erosion and Went control provisions required, and
iv. applicability of special inspections, and similar issues.
C. The building official may issue partial permits for phased construction before
the entire plans and specifications for the whole building or structure have been approved provided
peer review approval has been granted. Phased approval means separate permits for grading,
shoring, and foundation may be issued separately, provided concurrent approval is granted by the
planning manager, city engineer, and city public works director, when applicable. No phased
approval permit shall be issued unless approved civil plans detailing the construction of all site
improvements (including, but not limited to: curbs, gutters, sidewalks, paved streets, water lines,
sewer lines, and storm drainage) have been signed as approved by the city engineer. With such
phased approval, a performance bond shall be posted with the city pursuant to Chapter 17.10
ECDC, to cover the estimated cost of construction to city standards for the improvements.

proposed development, or
3. Excessive flooding, seepage, high water table, or inadequate drainage, or
19-32
Packet Page 35 of 132
4. If the bluff retreat rate analysis shows that the rate retreat of the bluff is such that
any structure or improvement would be unreasonably endangered or reasonably could be
anticipated to be endangered by landslide or earth subsidence during its normal useful life, the
application shall be denied. A structure is defined as:
a. A building intended for human habitation,
b. A building, structure or other improvement, whose stress or weight, collapse
or movement would endanger public safety in the event of slope failure and,

than thirty (30) percent in a 25 year period that landslide damage on site will occur.
C. In making a determination of permit denial, the director shall consider not only the land
which is the subject of the application, but in addition, the surrounding area which would be
adversely affected if the permit were granted. Permit denial shall be made in writing to the
owner/applicant when the site cannot be rendered stable as defined in ECDC 19.10.020(0). This
decision and other preliminary determinations as referenced herein shall be appealable to
Snohomish County Superior Court in accordance with the Land Use Petition Act. No other appeal
shall be permitted. The appeal period shall commence upon the date of mailing of any preliminary
or final decision, or upon posting, if posting is the only notice a party with standing receives under
the terms of this chapter.
D. Prohibitions. Because of the relationship of groundwater to stability, the discharge of
collected surface water or storm water to the ground surface or subsurface is prohibited on sites
within the earth subsidence and landslide hazard area. In addition, the following construction,

In any review or appeal of the director's or building official's denial of a waiver to construct an
otherwise prohibited improvement, the burden of proof shall always be upon the applicant to
establish by a clear preponderance of the evidence, that no such risk will be created by the
improvement. Any geotechnical engineering report provided in any review shall consider not only
the risk incurred due to or during construction of the otherwise prohibited improvement, but also
the potential impacts due to failure to maintain the improvement, damage through reasonably
foreseeable events such as earthquakes or other acts of God, or the reasonably foreseeable
negligence of the owner or future owners. The director may utilize peer review consultants.

final geotechnical report.
A. Site clearing and grading. The owner/applicant or contractor shall secure the building
official's approval before entering an earth subsidence and landslide hazard area site with
excavating or other grading and clearing equipment to clear, remove trees or grade for any purpose
including the creation of access to the site.
The building official may condition such access approval if sinditions are warranted and when
discretionary approval permits are required. As part of the approval process the building official
may impose conditions that address site work issues; such measures could include but are not
limited to limiting all excavation and drainage installation to the dryer season between May and the
end of September, or sequencing activities such as the installation of drainage systems well in
advance of construction.
Requests for early site access in advance of building permit approval or in the time period between
October 1st and April 30th for any purpose shall be submitted to the building official accompanied
by written concurrence of the owner/applicant's geotechnical engineer of record.
The building official may utilize peer review consultants to determine whether the request is based
on generally accepted engineering practice and is reasonable with regard to time -frame to complete
the work, types of equipment proposed to perform the work, length of exposure of slopes, and
adequacy of site monitoring and temporary erosion control measures. When such peer review is
utilized the applicant is responsible for the peer review fee.
B. Reporting authority. The owner/applicant shall retain a geotechnical engineer to monitor
the site during construction. The owner/applicant shall preferably retain the geotechnical engineer
who prepared the final geotechnical report in the plan set submittal and who has reviewed the
approved plans and specifications.
If a different geotechnical engineering consultant is retained by the owner/applicant, the new
geotechnical engineer shall submit a letter to the director stating that he or she has read all reports
and recommendations and reviews to date and state whether or not he or she agrees with the
opinions and recommendations of the original geotechnical report and peer review comments.
Further recommendations, signed and sealed by the new geotechnical engineer, and supporting
data, shall be provided should there be exceptions or changes to the original recommendations that
would effect the approved plans.

compliance with the recommendations in the geotechnical report including; site excavation,
shoring, temporary erosion control, soil support for foundation, piles, sub drainage installation, soil
compaction and other geotechnical aspects of the construction. Unless otherwise approved by the
director, the specific recommendations contained in the geotechnical report shall be implemented
by the owner/applicant. Omissions or deviations from the approved geotechnical report and civil
plans shall be highlighted to the city in a separate report. All reports shall be submitted to the city
on a weekly basis for review. Failure to submit required reports may result in the issuance of a stop
work order.
3. Storm events. During all work periods, special inspections shall be performed after
storm events as defined in ECDC 19.10.020(Q). The storm event report shall be provided within

Narrative
As part of the parking survey that was accepted by Council on July 22, 2003, it was recommended
in the survey that the parking penalties be increased for restricted parking. Research shows that the
last increase parking penalties was approximately ten years ago.
The Downtown Parking Committee requested Officer Debbie Dawson to conduct a survey of other
jurisdictions with overtime parking regulations and penalties. Eight Washington cities were
compared to the City of Edmonds in her survey. The attached document shows the penalty ranges
are for the eight surveyed cities.
Officer Dawson was unable to compare Lynnwood or Mountlake Terrace in her survey because
neither city has similar restricted time areas as the City of Edmonds.
The recommendation from the Downtown Parking committee to Council is to follow Suggestion #1
on Officer Dawson's January 26, 2007, memo. This simply doubles the cost of the infractions.
The committee also recommends that all fines other than restricted parking and handicap parking
be increased to $40.00 with the half price incentive remaining part of the ordinance.
The other significant change requested is language that makes it an additional infraction if a
violator does not move their car after receiving an infraction for overtime parking. The suggested
new language states, "Each subsequent violation of a period of time constitutes another violation."
Attached to the memo agenda is a draft ordinance with the recommended changes.

Comparison ofParking Fines
I was asked at the Downtown Parking Committee meeting on January 9, 2007 to research the
parking fines in other jurisdictions. The attached document compares eight cities in Washington
to the City of Edmonds.
I heard at the meeting that the Committee wants to consider increasing the overtime parking
fines. The following two fine structures are my suggestions. The first simply doubles the current
fines and the second raises the current fines by $20.

I also suggest raising the base fine to $40 for all parking violations and keeping the `/z price
incentive if the fine is paid within 24 hours.
The Seattle ordinance about "each subsequent period of time constitutes another violation" could
be another effective enforcement tool for Edmonds to consider. Many vehicles that are cited just
sit for the rest of day without moving.

220th Street Project Review
Council Committee Meetings
Date: 05/08/2007

Committee: Finance
Information
Subject Title
220th Street Project Review.
Time: 10 Minutes
Type: Information
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
Staff recommend that the City continue to operate under current policies and procedures.
Previous Council Action
3.A.
Council requested that Administrative Services review Council discussions about this project,
analyze the project budget and contractor performance, and recommend any changes that might be
necessary to City policies or procedures.
Narrative
Staff reviewed Council comments about the 220th Street project, along with various project
documents and budget information. After reviewing this material the following findings are
offered.
Overview
From an over-all perspective, we found no irregularities or violations of City policy. There appear
to be two activities that raised concern among some Council members: 1.) A design error at the
intersection of 220th and 9th Avenue; and 2.) Retaining a recently separated City employee who
joined the consulting engineering firm for the renovation as a project manager.
Desikn Error
We felt the design error was satisfactorily resolved by virtue of the consulting engineering firm
agreeing there had been a design error, and also agreeing to pay all costs associated with remedying
the problem.
Former Employees as Consultants
The second area of concern was the hiring of the then current City Traffic Engineer by the
company who was the consulting engineering firm on the 220th Street project. The issue here is
whether consulting firms are generating business, and increasing municipal costs, by hiring key
City staff. Municipalities are frequently in a "bind," when these employees separate, and hire the
former staff as a consultant at much higher rates in order to complete the project.
This is a relatively common problem, and a number of entities have prohibitions against key staff
being hired back as consultants for that jurisdiction within a specified period of time (two years is a
common term). The problem with this blanket approach, however, is that it may very well wind up
Packet Page 83 of 132
costing a jurisdiction substantially more to contract with someone who is not familiar with the
project.
We believe this was the case with the 220th Street project. The former City Traffic Engineer was
familiar with the project, and this knowledge virtually eliminated the learning curve that moving to
another firm would have entailed. The City Council approved contracting with the consulting firm
for the services of the former City traffic engineer on January 3, 2006.
If this continues to be a Council concern, an option may be to adopt a non -consulting policy, yet
provide a mechanism where exemptions could be made prospectively for reasons such as cost
saving, technical expertise, etc.

Information
Subject Title
City Attorney Cost Comparison.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
Review attached comparative information and continue present contractual arrangement with
Ogden Murphy.
Previous Council Action
3.B.
Council asked Administrative Services to provide background information regarding City Attorney
costs in other jurisdictions, and provide an administrative recommendation.
Narrative
As the attached comparative information shows, the City's legal budget is in the mid -range for
comparable entities on a per capita basis, whether these services are contracted out or provided by
internal counsel. There can also be a substantial difference in attorney fees depending on current
litigation and other issues.
The feed -back staff received from other jurisdictions was that the most important element to
consider in selecting legal counsel were competence and a positive relationship with city clients.
Staff feel we have been well represented by Ogden Murphy and would recommend retaining this
relationship.

MARCH 31, 2007 BUDGET REPORT
CITY OF EDMONDS
2007 FIRST QUARTER BUDGET REPORT
This report will provide preliminary information regarding the City of Edmonds' financial operations
for the quarter ending March 31, 2007. Information for April has been included when available.
Overview
As it is early in the year it is difficult to see any real trends developing. General fund revenues,
excluding fund balance, are at 19.3% of budget. General fund expenditures are at 25.2% of budget.
Revenue Variances
Sales tax revenue for the quarter was $1.3 million or 25% of budget. Our forecasting model which
includes April 2007 receipts, and takes into account the seasonality of collections, is forecasting sales
tax for the year to come in $103,000 over budget. For reference a table is presented showing the
sources of sales tax for March 2006 and 2007. It is interesting to note that sales tax receipts increased
1% when you compare the reporting periods; however in March 2006 18.5% of our sales tax revenue
was from Construction and Specialty Trade Contractors while in March 2007 they comprised only
13.1 %. Part of the decrease could be due to weather as March remittances to the city are for January
activity, and as will be explained below, construction related receipts remain strong.

Due to the cold winter, Natural Gas Utility and Electric Utility taxes are at 50.1% and 32.8%
respectively of budget. Again, at this time our forecasting model is predicting that the Natural Gas
Utility tax will exceed budget by $175,000, and the Electric Utility tax will come in $43,000 over
budget.
Building permit fees, zoning and subdivision fees, along with plan check fees are at 35.7%, 43.9%, and
35.3% of budget. Input from our Development Services Department is that they expect construction
related receipts to continue to exceed budget estimates.
Page 2
Packet Page 91 of 132
MARCH 31, 2007 BUDGET REPORT
Adult Probation Services receipts are only 12.6% of budget. According to the Court Administrator, the
Judge is not putting defendants who are convicted to DWLS 3rd degree on probation monitoring. This
has been the case for the last 6 months. The judge prefers the Probation Officer spend her time
monitoring defendants convicted of crimes that are more serious.
It appears the budget estimate for these services may have been too optimistic. At mid year, the Court
Administrator will review the actual receipts to the estimate to see if a budget adjustment will be
required.
Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) receipts through April 30 were $440,000. At this time our forecasting
model is pointing towards REET receipts for the year of $1.67 million. Again, it is early in the year,
and REET can bounce up and down. To illustrate this point, at the end of March the year end forecast
was $1.78 million.
Departmental and Fund Variances
It may appear that some funds and or departments' expenditures are running ahead of budget. There
are two primary reasons for this #1) many annual expenditures are made at the first of the year for
example, annual maintenance contracts which will skew results, and #2) there is activity relating to the
bond issue that occurred in February/March, specifically in the Utility fund, that was not budgeted. An
amendment will be processed during the second quarter of 2007.
On the Horizon
The City finished 2006 in a stronger position than anticipated; however, Finance still remains cautious
about the City's financial future. Major items on the horizon are:
• Continue to develop the Broadband initiative
• Review of business practices to reduce General Fund expenditures by $500,000 by 2009
• Labor negotiations with all of the City's bargaining units

Broadband Business Plan Consultant
Council Committee Meetings
Date: 05/08/2007
Submitted By: Dan Clements, Administrative Services
Department: Administrative Services
Committee: Finance
Information
Subject Title
Broadband Business Plan Consultant.
Time: 15 Minutes
Type: Action
3.D.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
Approve the City's entering into consultant selection negotiations with Bechtel and DynamicCity
for preparation of a broadband business plan at a not to exceed cost of $25,000.
Previous Council Action
The 2006 budget contained $120,000 to link City fiber with the Westin in Seattle, and study the
feasibility of a city-wide broadband network. In December the City issued a broadband RFI, and
eight firms were selected for final interviews. Bechtel and DynamicCity have been selected as
finalists.
Of the $120,000 budget for this project, $85,000 has been appropriated to date, and of the
$85,000 is an unspent balance of approximately $35,000.
Narrative
As noted above, Bechtel and DynamicCity have been selected as finalists in the City's broadband
RFI process. The next step in this project is to determine the financial viability of constructing a
community wide broadband system by preparating of a detailed business plan.
Both finalists have provided excellent, yet different approaches to meeting the vision provided in
the RFI. For this reason, staff are recommending asking for business plan preparation proposals
from both finalists. Responses will be reviewed by the CTAC Committee, and a recommendation
and final contract will be presented to Council for their consideration.
At its May 3 meeting, the CTAC Committee requested that staff present this proposal to the
Finance Committee at their May 8 meeting.
Attached to this agenda memo is a preliminary outline of the elements anticipated for inclusion in
the business plan.

CITY OF EDMONDS BROADBAND BUSINESS PLAN TEMPLATE
This "white paper" will present a template for use in preparing a more detailed business
plan that will help assess the feasibility of the City's Broadband Initiative.
Overview
The City is about to enter the final stages of determining whether or not to proceed with
its Broadband Initiative. This Initiative would see the construction of a City-wide
municipal broad band network that would, when fully completed, offer high speed
internet access to residents and businesses throughout the City.
One of the key elements needed to assess the viability of this proposal is preparation of a
thorough business plan. As noted above, this paper will hopefully provide a framework
for preparation of this document. We have attempted to describe several market segments
which we have not seen addressed in other business plan studies. If viable, these
segments would provide broader financial support.
At this juncture there are two potentially separate business case scenarios: 1.) Use of a
city-wide broadband network for city government purposes; and 2.) Use of a city-wide
broadband network by residents and businesses. Each business case element will be
examined with these two uses in mind.
Proiect Goals
The City's broadband initiative is unique in that it has primarily been a community driven
effort, as opposed to a local government initiated program. The five goals of this effort
are:
1. Save dollars for residents, businesses, and municipal government;
2. Provide better service than is both currently available, and will be available in five
years;
3. Generate replacement revenues for City government;
4. Reduce carbon emissions associated with City businesses and activities.
5. Provide broadband access to other communities and governmental entities in
south Snohomish County.
Following the discussion of each business element there is a matrix which lists the
potential goals the element might meet.
The business case elements have been developed and "bundled" into four key areas:
direct dollar savings, communications, data management, and triple play. The balance of
this correspondence will provide a brief description of specific business case elements,
grouped in each "bundle."
Direct Savings
The direct dollar savings bundle includes business elements that have the potential of
dropping the cost of business both for the City and residents/businesses located within
Edmonds.

Edmonds Broadband Business Case White Paper
Smart Metering This business case would examine the pro's and con's of moving to smart
electrical and water metering systems. Field meters would transmit
consumption and other information back to a central location.
The advantages of this type of system are that customers could access their
consumption information on-line, and modify their consumption habits to
take advantage of off-peak usage.
Many utilities structure their rates so that customers who consume water
or power outside of peak demand periods receive a rate discount.
Additionally, the need for meter readers driving to different meters would
be eliminated. The ability to manage service turn-ons and offs would also
eliminate the need for service personnel to drive to customers in order to
perform these tasks. It would also greatly simplify what is presently a
labor intensive process.
The business case analysis would estimate cost savings and compare them
against the capital costs of replacing meters. It might also make sense to
see if it is feasible to partner with the Snohomish County Public Utility
District to see if a contractor might be able to replace both water and
electrical meters in a single visit.

T-1/PRI to Fiber The second potential area of direct dollar savings is migrating from
telephone T-1 and PRI lines and running voice and data communications
over the broadband fiber system.
This business case represents a fairly clean cost savings for both the City
and businesses. T-1 and PRI lines lease for about $500 per month. The
City presently leases 6 lines, and area businesses will lease a varying
number depending on their communications needs. The annual City cost is
approximately $36,000.
The business case approach would be to compare the cost savings of
dropping leased lines against any new capital costs such as routers, etc.

Communications
The Communications business bundle centers on establishing wireless networks that use
the City's proposed broadband network as a backbone (backhaul) throughout key areas
in the City. There is currently a preliminary effort by public safety agencies in
Snohomish County that is examining the feasibility of wireless networks for police and
fire agencies and they have acknowledged the need for communication services and
routing along the backhaul.
The basic business concept would be to expand the use to City employees who work in
the field, who currently must return to a central site for work orders, notes, information,
etc. and provide infrastructure for municipal services and a Community Open wireless
network.
Public safety The Edmonds Police Department has discussed using wireless applications
in the following areas: 1.) Up -loading incident reports wirelessly so that
officers can spend more time in the field on police related activities; 2.)
Up -loading video feeds from vehicles; and 3.) For use in both fixed and
ad -hoc video and security surveillance. Savings for Fire need to be
explored for call -out and reporting.
The business case analysis would contrast increased patrol time made
available against capital costs for vehicle based routers and other capital
expenses. Cost reduction of on -site officers for ad -hoc surveillance.

General Gov't Applications which might be of assistance to general governmental field
workers might include: 1.) Public works crews ability to receive field and
work orders off -site; 2.) Permit inspection information; and 3.) Ability to
directly view video of previously scanned sewer and storm systems.
As was the case with public safety, the business case analysis would
contrast increased productivity against capital costs.

Open Wireless The vision for an open community wireless network is for the general
public to be able to have free wireless access, for a limited period of time,
in key public locations. These might include the downtown shopping area,
waterfront, ferry traffic holding lanes, etc.

Several communities have helped fund these types of open wireless
systems by selling advertising and services that appear on an initial log -on
splash screen. This may be of particular relevance to cross -Sound ferry
commuters.

Data Management
The third business case bundle is Data Management. This refers to the unique ability of
fiber optic cable to transfer large data files.
Back -Up Both the City and local businesses have the need to back up large amounts
of data and transactions to off -site, secure locations. A local networks
operations center has indicated they would charge approximately $200 per
month for storing 25 gigabytes of data.
We have had a number of individuals suggest that there may be a market
for residential data storage. The concept is that as more and more families
take digital pictures, digital video, and create digital music libraries it may
be less expensive and more convenient to back up this data in a manner
similar to the practice companies use.
The business case approach would be to examine the market for high
speed data transfer and storage, and compare this against any new capital
or operational costs.

Video Arraignment A second Data Management use would be the potential of moving to video
arraignments for our police and prosecutors. Currently these individuals
must drive to the County courthouse or jail to take part in arraignments.
This system would allow for arraignments to take place locally via video
feed.
The business case would examine the labor and transportation savings
balanced against additional capital and maintenance, operating expenses,
and reduced risk.

File Transfer Stevens' Hospital is located within the City of Edmonds. The medical
industry has the need to transfer large data files among different providers.
This business case element would assess the feasibility of transferring
images such as MRI's and CAT scans directly from imaging facilities to
physician's clinics and offices.
The business case study would examine the market potential for medical
direct data transfer and storage, and contrast it with capital and operating
costs.

Triple Play
The fourth bundle of services to be examined in a business plan is providing internet
service, internet phone, and high definition television to the community.
This would be the largest and most complex of the various business bundles to be
included in a business plan. The business case would examine the potential market,
penetration rates, and revenue generated. This would be compared to the capital costs
associated with constructing the system, as well as the annual maintenance and operating
expenses.
This area is one that is the least familiar to the City, and one where we would be looking
to the contractor to provide a full business case assessment. For our area, however, the
analysis should include the ramifications of offering program options that more closely
meet community needs. Of particular interest is local programming related to South
Snohomish County, as differentiated from the Seattle media market.
Closing Comments & Attachment
Hopefully the material contained in this document will be of use in approaching an
analysis of the various elements that will be addressed in a business case analysis
regarding whether or not the City should proceed with its community broadband
initiative, and if a decision is made to proceed, which market segments should be
addressed.
Attached is a business study matrix that lists the bundles and business elements discussed
in this paper. We would anticipate that the business study would provide the City with
well thought out analysis that would enable us to place quantifiable figures in the
remaining cells.
