3. PROCLAMATION IN HONOR OF THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SISTER CITY
RELATIONSHIP WITH HEKINAN, JAPAN
Mayor Haakenson recognized the 34-member delegation visiting from Hekinan, Japan, who arrived
yesterday and will be staying in Edmonds until next Sunday. He noted this was the largest delegation to
visit Edmonds in the history of their 20-year relationship as Sister Cities. He explained Mayor Negita
was elected Mayor on May 1, 2008 and it was an honor for Edmonds that he chose to visit Edmonds
during his first few months in office.
Mayor Haakenson invited Mayor Masanobu Negita, Council Chairman Shoichi Hisada and
Councilmembers Shigyuki Kuriachi, Akihisa Ikuta, and Minoro Suzuki to join him at the podium where
he read a proclamation recognizing and honoring the 20th anniversary of the Sister City relationship
between Edmonds and Hekinan on September 28, 2008. He presented framed proclamations in English
and Japanese to Mayor Negita.
Mayor Negita extended his greetings to Edmonds on behalf of the City of Hekinan. He explained he
accepted an appointment as Mayor at the end of April 2008. It was his honor and great pleasure to meet
the Mayor, Council and citizens and he thanked the City for the invitation. He commented on the
exchange programs over the past 20 years and expressed his appreciation to the residents of Edmonds,
Mayors, Councilmembers and the Sister City Commission for their efforts. This was his first visit to
Edmonds and he hoped to get to know the society and climate of Edmonds. He hoped their visit would
deepen the friendship between Edmonds and Hekinan and contribute to further progress and continuous
exchange between the two cities.
4. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
George Everett, Edmonds, explained several years ago he began attending meetings of a small group to
discuss events occurring in the United States and around the world. About the same time he became
interested in the events of 9/11. When he shared an article questioning the events 9/11 with the group,
one member asked for proof and evidence. He recalled asking the member whether he had asked the
government for proof and evidence. Mr. Everett emphasized there was no evidence to support the official
story of 9/11; no proof that Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda was involved, that any of the 19 Arabs were
on the airlines, that an airplane hit the Pentagon, that Flight 93 crashed in Pennsylvania, or that the
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
October 28, 2008
Page 3
buildings at the World Trade Center were brought down by fire. He pleaded with the American public
including the City Council to ask the government for the evidence and the proof.
Al Rutledge, Edmonds, thanked the 78 volunteers who assisted with the Friends of the Edmonds Library
Book Sale as well as everyone who attended the book sale. Next, recognizing that none of the
Councilmembers ran for office for the money, he suggested they return their salary to the City. He also
recommended the Council not raise taxes, that they eliminate one Council meeting per month and, rather
than lay off employees one day a month, they encourage employees to spend money at businesses in the
city which would increase revenues and support local businesses.
Dave Page, Edmonds, recognized times were tough and they would get tougher before they got better.
He felt let down by the country’s leaders. He pointed out Snohomish County was in better shape than
many other counties; 10,000 people would be moving into Snohomish County this year, and according to
the Snohomish County Business Journal, Snohomish County was creating approximately 800 jobs a
month. He disagreed with an article in the Everett Herald that all the jobs were service jobs, relaying his
research found there were 140 aerospace plants in Snohomish County that support Boeing whose starting
salaries were over $20/hour. He pointed out Boeing was the top exporter in the world, Microsoft was
second, Weyerhaeuser was fifth and Starbucks was also a huge exporter. Even though Snohomish
County was experiencing its highest foreclosure rates, it was only 0.5%, compared to 4% in Reno,
Nevada. He assured there was a good future ahead.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, commended the Councilmembers who expressed a desire for additional
public hearings on the budget and expressed disappointment in Councilmember Wambolt’s comment that
his mind was made up and in Councilmember Wilson who wanted to approve all the proposed tax
increases without additional public input. He recommended the Council reduce the Mayor’s salary and
expressed concern with raising utility taxes from 6% to 10%. With regard to Bob’s Gregg’s proposal, he
pointed out most Councilmembers failed to recognize that their role was to protect the existing zoning and
Comprehensive Plan which does not allow residential uses or expanded parking in the
Commercial/Waterfront zone. He referred to a letter from Senior Center President Rose Cantwell to
Mayor Haakenson and Councilmember Wambolt’s remark that he (Mr. Hertrich) must have been written
the letter.
Andrea Penske, Edmonds, a former Beach Ranger and now a Kindergarten teacher, pointed out how
important and meaningful the Beach Ranger program is, particularly the Rangers’ interaction with people
to talk about the ecosystem. She explained their pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten students visit the
beach each spring and the Kindergarten recently visited Yost Park while studying trees because the
program the Parks Department offers fits well with the school curriculum. Their fifth graders recently
visited the beach to learn about the ecosystems and took that knowledge with them to Camp Seymour.
She summarized approximately 100 classrooms visit the beach each year as part of the Beach Ranger
Program in addition to many adults and tourists.
Rich Schaefer, Edmonds, commented the Council’s budget discussions mirrored previous discussions,
reducing expenses rather than considering additional revenues. He referred to reductions made in the
street overlay program from 30 years to 70 years, deferred maintenance and improvements to parks as
well as water and sewer systems, commenting if that same approach were taken to a home, the result
would be a wreck. He pointed out deferred maintenance was a false economy and the end result was
higher costs in the long term. He urged the Council to spend more time considering new sources of
revenue and looking into the future by taking some things off budget such as forming a Fire District. He
summarized rather than continuing to pick away at expenditures, the City needed to invest in its
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
October 28, 2008

infrastructure and in its staff. He pointed out the City must compete for its staff with other cities and the
private sector; the City’s employees were doing the City a favor with regard to compensation.
5. ANNUAL REPORT FROM THE LIBRARY BOARD
Library Board President Wendy Kendall reported there had been many significant activities this year
related to the use and care of facilities, reaching out to other boards in the Sno-Isle Library System and
reaching out to the community. She thanked Mayor Haakenson and the Council, recalling the Board
recommended lobby renovations and the City responded. She described improvements such as painting,
the display window and the lobby bulletin boards. She extended her thanks to Jim Stevens and the
Facilities staff for their efforts and thanked Parks & Recreation Director Brian McIntosh, an invaluable
adviser to the Library Board.
Library Board Member Mark Ayers reported the Library Board regularly has presentations from Sno-
Isle representatives about the Sno-Isle Library system and its relationship to the Edmonds Library. Terry
Beck, Adult Teen Services Manager, recently described a grant-funded teen pilot program in the Sno-Isle
Library system that engages teens in the development and delivery of programs that serve teens, often
using unconventional means. In Monroe a program organized and run by teens resulted in teens being
engaged in the library system. The project uses focus groups to measure its progress at the beginning and
end of the project. Depending on continued funding, this project may come to Edmonds.
Library Board Member Joanne Peterson noted during difficult economic times, individuals and
families were using the public library more frequently. She described activities at the recent open house
including harp music, special presentations, readings and refreshments provided by the Friends of the
Edmonds Library, book giveaways and visits with Sadie, a Golden Retriever in the Reading with Rover
program.
Library Board Member Linda Hughes, and member of Friends of the Edmonds Library, relayed that at
the Library’s booth at last summer’s Edmonds Night Out, the Friends distributed free books. She viewed
the Library Board as ambassadors for the library.
Managing Librarian Lesly Caplan expressed her thanks to the Library Board who advocate for the
library. She explained when the economy slowed people visited the library in increasing numbers.
During 2007, 236,579 people visited the Edmonds Library, checking out 412,655 items. In Edmonds
39,160 people hold library cards. The Sno-Isle Library materials budget of $4,770,000 purchased many
new books and other materials. As a member of the Sno-Isle Library, Edmonds residents can visit any of
the 21 Sno-Isle libraries in the system and have access to District’s full collection. She described
improvements made over the past year including decreasing the amount of time to fulfill customers’
requests for materials.
The library is available 24/7 at no cost to library card holders via their website, offering 101 databases as
well as online electronic books and other downloadables, real-time online tutoring Brainfuse that offers
homework help, access to worldwide newspapers, literature and consumer reports, medical information,
and investment information. She described literacy programs at the library including storytimes for all
ages, Reading with Rover, and teen programs. The Edmonds Library is an accessible election site. She
thanked the City and the Library Board for their support of the library.
Mayor Haakenson thanked the Library Board for everything they do.

Councilmember Wambolt inquired about the residency of the 236,579 library visitors. Ms. Caplan
responded they did not track the residency of visitors. Councilmember Wambolt asked how people
without a library card could use the library. Ms. Caplan answered they were welcome to visit the library
and use its resources but they could not check out materials and they could not access the databases from
home. The library does issue a day pass to use the computers. Councilmember Wambolt remarked the
Town of Woodway voted a few years ago not to participate in the Sno-Isle. Ms. Caplan relayed
Woodway residents are often dismayed to learn they are unable to obtain a library card.
6. DISCUSSION AND AUTHORIZATION OF THE AQUATIC CENTER FEASIBILITY STUDY
CONTRACT
Parks & Recreation Director Brian McIntosh recalled on August 5 the Council authorized staff to
advertise for Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) from consulting firms to perform an Aquatics Center
Feasibility Study. Through a comprehensive selection process a team of staff and citizens reviewed eight
SOQ's, interviewed four firms and their consultant teams, and selected one consultant and their team,
NAC/Architecture, as the preferred firm. NAC and their team have extensive experience with feasibility
studies throughout the country and the northwest, including Renton, Northshore, and Lynnwood. All
references for this firm were positive and expressed satisfaction
To help guide the decision making process for Edmonds' aquatic future, this study will provide:
1. Market analysis, economic impact, site analysis, conceptual ideas, preliminary construction costs,
maintenance and operations costs and funding options.
2. Multiple opportunities for citizen involvement through public workshops.
3. An unbiased citizen survey.
The fee for the study is $62,690, reimbursables (primarily travel and printing) of $10,800 for a total
contract amount of $73,490. In addition, staff will secure a local independent survey firm to conduct a
valid statistical survey to gauge the general support of Edmonds' citizens. The cost of the survey is
estimated to be approximately $10,000. Total project cost will be $83,490 to be paid from planning funds
in the Parks Improvement Fund 125. He pointed out Fund 125 was restricted to construction of parks
projects including planning. This was the first step toward a solution to the aging Yost Pool and without
facts it was difficult for the Council, staff and citizens to move forward with addressing this primary
recreational amenity.
Mr. McIntosh acknowledged the cost was considerably higher than the $60,000 that was budgeted. He
explained that amount was budgeted to encourage firms responding to the SOQ to bid approximately that
amount and the fee could then be negotiated. They had also hoped the consultant would be local to
minimize travel expenses. The consultant team selected was one of the best in the country. He explained
generally the teams were architectural firms that brought in firms aquatic experts. Of the four firms
interviewed, the top three had the same consultants. He noted other cities in the area have done feasibility
studies, the most recent in this region was Issaquah whose study had a very similar scope and their fee
was in excess of $80,000.
Mayor Haakenson asked Mr. McIntosh to describe what the study was intended to accomplish. Mr.
McIntosh explained the scope of work included a project overview and initiation meetings to establish a
strategy for the study, review of existing facilities including what could be done with Yost Pool or at that
location, evaluating site options including the waterfront and the old Woodway High School, market
analysis including the new YMCA pool and Lynnwood’s plans for a new pool, and public participation
via open houses, public hearing and statistical survey.

Councilmember Bernheim asked who participated on the selection committee. Mr. McIntosh responded
Councilmember Wilson, Planning Board Member Phil Lowell, the Parks Maintenance Manager Rich
Lindsey, Dick Van Hollenbeke and himself.
Councilmember Bernheim asked whether three sites, Yost Pool, waterfront and a private acquisition,
would be evaluated in the study. Mr. McIntosh answered there was not a private acquisition other than
the waterfront. Two sites on Hwy. 99 were considered previously but those have since been developed
with medical facilities. The three sites were Yost, a waterfront location and the old Woodway High
School.
Councilmember Wambolt acknowledged the expenditure would not come from the General Fund but he
questioned whether this was the right time to spend the money. He anticipated following the budget
discussion, the Council was likely to conclude the City needed to remain status quo and not take on new
projects. He asked how a new facility would be financed. Mr. McIntosh answered the consultant would
identify a number of options from no pool to a palace and it would be up to Council and staff to refine the
options. The consultant will also identify funding options, all of which would require a vote of the people
for a bond issue.
Recognizing three of the applicants had the same subcontractors, Councilmember Wilson asked whether
there were no other highly qualified consultants. Mr. McIntosh answered there appeared to be a
geographic division at approximately Colorado; all the applicants except one were from west of Colorado.
Councilmember Wilson noted the scope of work referred to the direct financial impacts and asked
whether the feasibility study would also consider the economic impact of an aquatics center. He expected
the facility would require an operational subsidy but anticipated there would also be positive impacts to
the community. He asked whether property values increased in a community with an aquatics facility and
the multiplier of funds spent at the pool that were then spent in the community. Mr. McIntosh answered
that question was specifically asked in the interview process; the consultant is aware the City expects to
be provided that information.
Council President Plunkett echoed Councilmember Wilson’s request, recalling he was an early advocate
of the Edmonds Center for the Arts because of the indirect economic impact of that facility that is now
calculated at $2.4 million per year. His support of a pool would be based on the pool itself as an activity
center and economic engine as well as the indirect impacts.
Council President Plunkett asked whether the site to be considered was old Woodway or Edmonds
Woodway High School, recalling both had been considered as potential sites in the past. Mr. McIntosh
stated the study would consider the former Woodway High School site. Council President Plunkett
observed there was no discussion about siting a pool at the Edmonds-Woodway High School site. Mr.
McIntosh agreed a pool was in the early construction drawings for Edmonds-Woodway High School but
that site was not a consideration in this study.
COUNCILMEMBER WILSON, MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM, TO
AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH
NAC/ARCHITECTURE TO CONDUCT AN AQUATIC CENTER FEASIBILITY STUDY.
Councilmember Wambolt advised he would not support the study because the timing was not right. He
questioned how a consultant would determine the impact of the new YMCA pool in the present economy.
Councilmember Bernheim acknowledged there were a number of pools in the community but there were
many in the community who used pools and having one in the neighborhood could be a valuable amenity
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
October 28, 2008
Page 7
particularly for the City’s aging population. He expressed concern that the cost of the study was more
than previously cited. He commented the views of the enthusiastic pool supporters deserved to be heard
and studied and to allow the community to intelligently determine whether a pool was needed and
whether it would be an asset to the community.
Councilmember Wilson commented this was an issue of what kind of city Edmonds wanted to be. In the
grand scheme, $80,000 would not break the bank and those funds were already in the budget from two
years ago. He pointed out the Parks Comprehensive Plan identified an aquatics center as the top priority.
Doing a study did not mean the City would proceed with an aquatics center; this was an incremental step
that would provide more information and allow the possibility to be considered in a holistic manner.
Councilmember Wambolt pointed out just because the money was already in the budget, it did not need to
be spent. An aquatics center would likely require a bond and he was doubtful that the current economy
was an environment in which to request more money from taxpayers. Councilmember Wilson clarified
construction of an aquatic center would require a bond; the feasibility study did not.
MOTION CARRIED (6-1), COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT OPPOSED.
7. UPDATE ON THE HIGHWAY 99 TASK FORCE
Development Services Director Duane Bowman explained the Hwy. 99 Task Force was the result of a
recommendation at the 2003 Council retreat and the first meeting was held in March 2003. The Task
Force is comprised of residents, property owners, up to three Councilmembers, business owners and City
staff. Initially the Task Force reviewed land use in the corridor, contracted with a consultant to conduct a
market analysis regarding commercial uses, contracted with Makers Architects who conducted focus
groups with residents, property owners and business owners in the area and developed the Hwy. 99
Enhancement Plan which led to amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code.
The Task Force worked on the Hwy. 99 Traffic Signal Study to determine needed improvements in the
corridor. The Task Force has also been very supportive of the introduction of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) in
the corridor. There are currently three projects planned in the corridor including the redevelopment of the
southeast corner of Hwy. 99 and 220th by the Behar Company. Mr. Behar purchased the property and
plans to redevelop it in a manner that has the potential to change the attitude of development along Hwy.
99.
Mr. Bowman explained Mr. Behar originally planned to start construction as early as 2009 but recent
events have delayed the project until 2010/2011. He reviewed conceptual drawings of the Behar
development that would include a mixture of retail, office and commercial uses as well as residential.
The goal was to design a development where people could live and work and take advantage of BRT in
the corridor; the north BRT station at 216th is a short walk from this corner. He identified the location of
a plaza area with an amphitheater, underground parking, residential uses, office, and ground floor
retail/commercial space.
The current concept would have 137,000 square feet of retail, an anchor retail tenant of 60,000 square
feet, 25,000 square feet of office space, 189,000 square feet of residential or 240 units, and 1,040 parking
spaces. He noted the parking for residential was one space per dwelling unit due to access to BRT.
Because of the current credit situation, Mr. Behar has not confirmed the anchor tenant and he could not
begin the project until that occurred.
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
October 28, 2008
Page 8
Councilmember Dawson commented Mr. Behar had also considered a mix of market rate and affordable
housing and potentially senior housing on the site. She has been coordinating with Mr. Behar and the
affordable housing developers in the community; the Housing Consortium of Everett and Snohomish
County was interested in partnering on the project. She noted there was potential for this to provide a
benefit to the community via green development, retail space and affordable housing.
Mr. Bowman advised the Task Force was reviewing an idea for transitional Transit Oriented
developments along the corridor that would have frontage in the residential area. During the Code rewrite
staff plans to examine parking standards along Hwy. 99 for potential code amendments in support of
BRT.
8. WORKSHOP ON THE 2009-2010 BUDGET
Council President Plunkett explained this was an opportunity for the Council to spend some time
discussing and asking questions. There was no specific objective other than to explore, ask questions, and
discuss the budget and issues such as whether to participate in studying a Regional Fire Authority (RFA),
the three budget options, the possibility of a Transportation Benefit District (TBD) vote, a park levy vote,
a more detailed discussion regarding expenditures, the cuts proposed by Mayor Haakenson if the Council
chose not to pursue a RFA, development fees and information from Councilmember Orvis regarding the
Health District.
Councilmember Bernheim reviewed his budget suggestions:
• The Council take a symbolic 10% cut in their salary in an effort to lead by example
• Agreed with Mayor Haakenson’s proposal for the City Attorney to attend only two council
meetings/month, noting the Council also needed to control their requests for legal advice
• Rescind the Mayor’s salary increase
• A 1% budget cut in the Police Department or $90,000/year. Misdemeanor arrests and books are
up 20-40% from 3-4 years ago without any explanation and this cut would tell the Police
Department it was okay not to arrest so many people. He commented the number of arrests and
bookings was not necessarily a reliable indicator of public safety.
• Consider reducing court security. He noted there were several Superior Courts in the State that
did not have security. He agreed security was necessary when incarcerated individuals were in
court but not during the traffic infraction calendar
• Consider some cuts in Park programs during lean times, including even Yost Pool
• Agreed with Mayor Haakenson’s proposal to delay computer upgrades and hiring of IT staff.
• Discontinue the City newsletter and place the information on Channel 21
• Agreed with Mayor Haakenson’s proposal to consider cutting the DARE program for
$85,000/year
• Agreed with Mayor Haakenson’s proposal not to hire a Finance assistant and Clerk’s assistant
• Consider freezing Planning staff in light of declining building activity
• Agreed with Mayor Haakenson’s proposal to increase property tax 1% and with the increase in
cable TV tax
• Adopt a $20 per vehicle TBD fee
• Consider keeping the fiber optic program alive due to past investments
• Hire a grant specialist and provide data regarding grants the City has received
• Agreed with cutting the Washington DC lobbyists and suggested also cutting the Olympia
lobbyist
• Keep an open mind regarding formation of a RFA, pointing out it is not a savings for the taxpayer
but an accounting mechanism for the City. If a RFA were formed, it would become another line
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
October 28, 2008
Page 9
item on residents’ property tax statement similar to the Library District. Further, if a RFA were
formed and the City was dissatisfied with response time, resolution would not be local.
Councilmember Bernheim summarized his budget suggestions would result in more savings than tax
increases, an approach he preferred the Council take.
Councilmember Wambolt agreed the Council should take a 10% salary cut in 2009, noting the Council
was paid $600/month so a 10% cut provided only about a $5,000 savings. He did not support cutting the
Mayor’s salary, recalling letters in the Edmonds Beacon requesting the Mayor return the salary increase
and suggesting the Mayor be paid $1 more than the highest paid City employee. Councilmember
Wambolt pointed out if that suggestion were followed, the Mayor’s salary would need to be raised by
$20,000 because even after the Mayor received the second incremental increase in July 2009, he was the
sixth highest paid employee in the City. With regard to the RFA, he agreed the RFA would be a new
taxing authority and would be a double tax because there would not be any savings from the City.
Councilmember Wambolt referred to letters the Council received from Magic Toyota, Lynnwood Honda,
Campbell Nelson Volkswagen and Lynnwood Mazda in opposition to a B&O tax because they would not
be competitive with auto dealers in Shoreline and Lynnwood. He recommended the Council pass a
motion that they would not consider a B&O tax until at least 2010. He also recommended the Council
resolve any reduction in staff tonight, recalling in Mayor Haakenson’s proposals a reduction of three new
positions, three vacant positions and 7½ existing positions. Assuring he was not advocating any
reduction in staff, he pointed out in order to realize the savings Mayor Haakenson described, the positions
would need to be eliminated now due to the 60 day notice requirement.
Council President Plunkett did not support reducing police costs by not making arrests. He favored
arresting every bad person as soon as possible even if it cost more. He was uncertain how
Councilmember Bernheim would determine who should be and who should not be arrested when much of
it was determined by statute. He suggested Councilmembers describe cuts they were interested in
pursuing, provide them in writing to Councilmembers and then on December 3, a Councilmember could
move the budget and Councilmembers could propose amendments.
Councilmember Orvis remarked although he was interested in considering cuts to the budget, it was
unlikely he would support cuts in the Police Department.
COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WILSON,
THAT THE COUNCIL CEASE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION REGARDING THE POSSIBILITY
OF A B&O TAX UNTIL 2010 AT THE EARLIEST.
Council President Plunkett asked whether the motion was intended to prevent a Councilmember from
discussing or asking questions about a B&O tax. Councilmember Wambolt clarified his intent was to
assure the auto dealers that the possibility of a B&O would not be discussed until 2010 at the earliest.
Councilmember Dawson commented a Councilmember could talk about anything; there clearly were not
four Councilmembers who supported a B&O tax. She recalled a B&O tax has been identified as a
potential revenue source every year and no Councilmember has ever said it was a good idea. She did not
support a B&O tax, finding it a bad idea for Edmonds now and in the foreseeable future. She noted it
may not even be lawful to pass a motion precluding the Council in the next year from discussing or voting
on an issue; an ordinance would likely be required. Although it was a Councilmember’s right to discuss
anything he/she chose, she assured the auto dealers did not have anything to worry about because there
were not four Councilmembers who supported a B&O tax.

Councilmember Wilson acknowledged if the Council approved the motion they could always change their
mind in the future. He supported the motion to make it clear the Council did not support a B&O tax.
Otherwise staff may be asked to do research on an issue that a majority of the Council did not support.
Council President Plunkett asked if the intent of the motion was that staff should not respond to a
Councilmember’s questions about a B&O tax. Councilmember Wilson responded any Councilmember
could ask questions of staff and staff must prioritize those requests. If the Council expressed that there
were not four votes in favor of a B&O tax, it would be appropriate for staff to respond that they would
address the Council’s priorities first.
Councilmember Dawson suggested rather than a motion that appeared to limit a Councilmember’s ability
to discuss a topic, the Council adopt a resolution at a future meeting expressing the Council’s view that a
B&O tax was not an appropriate revenue source for the City. A resolution would send a strong message
to the community and require action by a future Council if they were to decide to enact a B&O tax.
Council President Plunkett expressed support for a resolution affirming the Council’s position regarding a
B&O tax.
COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT WITHDREW HIS MOTION WITH THE AGREEMENT OF
THE SECOND.
Councilmember Dawson offered to work with Community Services/Economic Development Director
Stephen Clifton to develop a resolution for Council consideration.
Councilmember Orvis commented although he did not support a B&O tax, he respected Councilmember
Bernheim’s right to try to convince him otherwise.
Councilmember Wilson referred to the small Economic Development budget on page 27, explaining some
downtown merchants had approached him regarding the formation of a Local Improvement District or
Business Improvement District that would allow downtown businesses to tax themselves via property
taxes to promote downtown commerce. The Chamber of Commerce plans to discuss this at their
upcoming retreat. He relayed the problem was that some businesses get a free ride and do not contribute
to marketing efforts. He acknowledged the creation of a Business Improvement District would require a
vote. If the Chamber supports this idea, he may suggest including $40,000 - $50,000 in the budget for an
election. He noted those funds would only be used for the cost of an election and not marketing. He also
questioned whether the $7,300 in the budget to promote Edmonds was enough in light of the upcoming
Winter Olympics and the down economy.
Council President Plunkett asked for a white paper regarding what a Business Improvement District
would do and where the $40,000-$50,000 would come from. Councilmember Wilson responded the
Business Improvement District could generate funds for marketing and/or for capital projects such as the
decorative streetlights on Main between 5th & 6th.
Council President Plunkett clarified instead of a voluntary contribution businesses currently make toward
advertising, if businesses voted to be part of the District, they would be assessed a tax. Councilmember
Wilson responded the businesses could be assessed via their business license or property taxes which
would be passed on in the form of increased rents. Council President Plunkett asked Mr. Clifton to
provide his opinion regarding this suggestion.
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
October 28, 2008
Page 11
Council President Plunkett recalled in the past, Councilmembers forwarded proposed amendments to City
Clerk Sandy Chase who compiled a list of amendments. Councilmembers with amendments would also
provide all documentation to the Council and after a motion was made to approve the budget at the
December 2 meeting, Councilmember would then make motions to amend the budget.
Councilmember Dawson recalled typically Councilmembers would be aware of potential amendments
well in advance and there would be debate/discussion/workshop on the concepts in advance of approval
of the budget so that amendments were simply voted up or down at the meeting when the budget was
approved. In order for the preliminary budget proposed by the Mayor to become the Council’s budget,
the Council must make a motion to approve the budget followed by amendments made by
Councilmembers. She suggested having a robust discussion on November 21, regarding potential
amendments and then on December 2, a motion could be made to approve the budget and amendments
made on both revenue and revenue ideas. She recommended Councilmembers distribute amendments in
writing weeks in advance of the December 2 meeting.
Mayor Haakenson pointed out the only discussion regarding the budget on the extended agenda was
November 2 and the public hearing on November 18. Councilmember Dawson suggested scheduling
time to discuss the budget and potential amendments on every meeting agenda between now and
December 2. She also suggested scheduling another budget workshop where all ideas could be discussed.
Council President Plunkett proposed scheduling a 1 hour workshop on November 3, a 30 minute
workshop on November 18, a 2 hour workshop on the November 25 agenda, and adoption of the budget
on December 2.
Councilmember Wambolt suggested the Council also review the budget cuts proposed by Mayor
Haakenson. Council President Plunkett commented the cuts identified by Mayor Haakenson were if the
Council decided not to pursue an RFA which was Option 2. He suggested the Council discuss which
option they wanted to pursue.
Councilmember Wambolt commented these were options to build the ending cash balance and had
nothing to do with the RFA. The purpose of the cuts Mayor Haakenson identified was to build the ending
cash balance which was reduced by $2 million in 2007 and $3 million in 2008.
Council President Plunkett pointed out in Option 3, the proposed cuts could be considered throughout
next year based on whether the Council decided to pursue a RFA. Councilmember Wambolt responded
Option 3 pushed out cuts from 2009 and 2010 but they were not related to the RFA. He suggested
consideration be given to whether to hire new IT staff when they may need to be cut in 2010.
Councilmember Wambolt expressed support for Option 2.
For Councilmember Wilson, Finance Director Kathleen Junglov advised the Council must submit the
property tax ordinance to the Snohomish County Auditor by November 30. Council President Plunkett
advised the property tax ordinance was scheduled for public hearing and action on November 18.
Councilmember Wilson suggested moving the budget now, tabling it at the end of each meeting and
taking it off the table at each meeting to allow Councilmembers to make amendments throughout the next
six weeks. Council President Plunkett agreed that was an option. In his experience, the Council worked
though the process, moved the budget and then made amendments.
Councilmember Dawson pointed out the formation of an RFA or implementation of some other major
revenue source or cut to the General Fund budget had everything to do with the ending cash balance. It
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
October 28, 2008
Page 12
would be irresponsible for the Council to pass a biennial budget that took the ending fund balance to the
proposed level unless there was a plan to proceed with a major revenue source or major cut to the General
Fund budget. Either the Council had to agree to make substantial cuts to the budget or commit to the idea
of a levy or formation of a RFA. The Council did not need to commit to whether it would be a parks
levy, general levy lid lift or RFA, but the Council must continue to consider the ending fund balance. The
Council also needed to decide whether to pursue the cuts Mayor Haakenson proposed as well as consider
whether there were other cuts or additions to the budget. She suggested any new programs suggested by a
Councilmember be accompanied by a corresponding cut; similarly if Councilmembers were not
comfortable with a revenue source included in the Mayor’s budget, they identify an expenditure
reduction.
With regard to the three budget options, Mayor Haakenson explained the preliminary budget included
new revenues in 2009 and the specter of an RFA that would save budget cuts 2-3 years in the future. The
Council asked for an alternative, budget cuts in lieu of an RFA, which he presented in Option 2. He
suggested the Council consider Option 3 which was approval of all the 2009 proposed revenue sources
with budget cuts planned for 2010 and 2011. He explained the new revenue sources and the budget cuts
planned in 2010 and 2011 rather than 2009 and 2010 resulted in an ending cash balance in 2012 of over
$2 million and $1.5 million in 2013. Option 3 also gave the Council the entire year of 2009 to study
where a RFA was something the Council was interested in pursuing, or whether a levy lid lift or park levy
was an appropriate new revenue stream. He noted a new revenue stream was necessary or the budget cuts
in 2010 and 2011 would be required.
Councilmember Wilson explained Option 3 raised revenues in 2009 and put off the 2009 cuts proposed
by Mayor Haakenson until 2010 and put off 2010 cuts until 2011. Via Option 3, the Council would be
affirming they planned to cut all the economic development funds, Yost Pool, the Beach Ranger program,
etc. in 2010 and that they expected to determine during 2009 how not to make those cuts. He
acknowledged the Council did not have a great deal of time during the next six weeks to decide what to
do but he was uncomfortable with putting off big decisions.
To Mayor Haakenson’s point that the end cash balance was pretty good in 2012, he emphasized that was
only by adopting the proposed cuts which would essentially close 31 neighborhood parks, close Yost
Pool, eliminate the Beach Ranger Program and cut economic development. He summarized a good
ending cash balance in 2012 could only be achieved by raising taxes and making draconian cuts. The
Council owed it to themselves and the citizens to do more than simply delay cuts. He commented the
Council could approve a single year budget; however, if the Council wanted to adopt a 2-year budget,
they should have a plan.
Although he did not attend the October 16 RFA meeting, Councilmember Wilson relayed that he has
asked a number of questions and was uncertain a RFA would be approved by the public, particularly
when it was doubtful the Council would campaign strongly for it. Because the Edmonds Fire Department
provided such good service, had outside funding from contracts with Woodway and Esperance and were
very efficient, Edmonds taxpayers paid less for fire services than any other jurisdiction, $1.20/$1000 AV.
Shoreline pays $2.00/$1000 AV and Fire District 1 pays $1.50/$1000 AV. If the City entered into a new
RFA, the voters would be asked to support at least $1.20 but likely much more. Even if there was a
commensurate decrease in the budget, the City would have to ask the voters to approve funding for an
RFA of at least $1.20/$1000 AV. If the Council waited for an RFA to fail and cuts had not been made,
the cuts proposed by Mayor Haakenson would be required unless another funding source was identified.
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
October 28, 2008
Page 13
Councilmember Wilson recommended the Council consider a parks levy or general levy lid lift that the
Council would campaign for because they believed in the services the City provided. He summarized
Option 3 only deferred decisions.
Mayor Haakenson asked if a levy lid lift or parks levy could be accomplished by the time the budget
needed to be approved. Councilmember Wilson agreed it could not but the Council could plan for that
similar to the EMS levy. Mayor Haakenson commented it was doubtful a vote on a levy lid lift, parks
levy or a RFA would happen in the next few months, pointing out no one had a good understanding of a
RFA because it had not yet been studied. One of the tasks before the Council tonight was to decide
whether they wanted to study a RFA. He was open to whatever budget the Council chose to approve but
anticipated even with a levy lid lift or park levy, cuts would still be required. Councilmember Wilson
acknowledged that not everyone knew all the details regarding an RFA but some Councilmembers knew
some of the details about a RFA and a parks levy. He suggested if the Council did not make decisions
now, it was at great risk and detriment to the City and its citizens.
Council President Plunkett asked Councilmembers to indicate whether they were interested in studying a
RFA, noting committees were being formed and the City would need to assign participants,
Councilmember Dawson expressed support for investigating further study of a RFA. She recommended
the decision regarding whether to form a RFA not be financial but whether better fire and EMS service
could be provided to the community via a RFA with cost a secondary consideration. She noted
determining what other jurisdictions were interested in partnering on a RFA was an important component
of the decision process.
Fire Chief Tomberg commented he did not know whether he would vote for a RFA either, assuming it
came to the ballot. He explained interested jurisdictions would form a Planning Committee; by statute,
three elected officials from each interested jurisdiction must serve on the Planning Committee. If 5-6
jurisdictions participate, the Committee would be 15-18 members. He anticipated they would select an
Executive Committee, hire a consultant and conduct a study which would take several months. At any
time during the process, if a jurisdiction’s three representatives chose to withdraw, they need only provide
30 days notice. He anticipated the Executive Committee would study the issue and when the study was
completed, the Planning Committee would reconvene and decide whether to take it to their City Councils.
The City Council would then decide whether to take it to the voters. In the meantime the study would be
available to the public and a very transparent process.
Chief Tomberg explained the RFA was passed in 2004 and outlined in RCW 52.26. The legislature
established RFA to give communities like Edmonds and the surrounding area an opportunity to consider a
different way of providing fire service in a consortium-type government with taxing authority. He
summarized the City had nothing to lose by taking a look and encouraged the Council to appoint three
members to serve on the Planning Committee.
Councilmember Orvis agreed this was an idea that had some possibility and was worth considering but he
was not ready to endorse it.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT PLUNKETT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER ORVIS,
THAT THE COUNCIL SEND THREE REPRESENTATIVES TO THE PLANNING COMMITTEE
TO STUDY A RFA. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT PLUNKETT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DAWSON,
TO APPOINT MAYOR HAAKENSON AND COUNCILMEMBERS WAMBOLT AND WILSON
TO THE COMMITTEE. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
October 28, 2008
Page 14
Council President Plunkett expressed support for Option 3, which would allow the Council to pass a
fiscally prudent, balanced budget and commit to making the necessary decisions over the coming year.
Councilmember Wambolt read a description of Option 3 provided to Council President Plunkett by Ms.
Junglov: the options include all the new revenue sources and a phased approach to cuts. Cuts included in
2009 are the new FTEs proposed for Human Resources and IT will not be hired, vacant positions in the
Finance Department and Clerk’s office will not be filled, and the vacant Crime Prevention Officer
position will be eliminated. Additional cuts in 2010 include the City Attorney attending only two Council
meetings per month and eliminating economic development funding, the fiber optic project, the DARE
program, a Planner position, an Engineering Tech positions, and closing Yost Pool. The final cut would
occur in 2011 with a reduction of $500,000 in the parks maintenance budget. Council President Plunkett
reiterated Option 3 delayed the cuts for one year.
Councilmember Wilson advised he could not support Option 3. In his opinion, the problems with Option
3 were employees were likely to begin looking for other jobs and he disagreed with a adopting a budget
with a plan to make cuts in the future unless new funding sources were be identified. He noted another
option would be to adopt all the 2009 new revenues sources, make no cuts in 2009 or 2010 and, instead of
enacting a RFA, approve a parks levy.
Councilmember Dawson recalled the Council had agreed they would not vote on the revenue options until
after the November 18 public hearing. All the options assume the proposed revenue options were
adopted. If the Council did not adopt all the proposed revenue sources, there would need to be deeper
cuts this year or in the future or a dangerously low fund balance. She was interested to learn where in the
budget other cuts could be made, pointing out the Council needed to establish their own priorities with
regard to what they wanted to fund, which new revenue sources they wanted to adopt, including other
sources such as a parks levy, a levy lid lift, or a RFA. She noted the cuts Mayor Haakenson proposed in
Option 2 and 3 were radical, basically shutting down the Parks Department unless another revenue stream
was approved by the voters. She suggested Councilmembers identify additional revenue streams and
additional cuts.
Councilmember Wambolt agreed it was not a good idea to identify people the city planned to lay off in
the future, such as was done in Option 3, because affected staff members were likely to leave the City.
He supported Option 2, possibly with alternate expenditure cuts such as Councilmember Bernheim
proposed.
Councilmember Orvis commented the Council simply needed to decide on the baseline budget and make
amendments.
Councilmember Wilson suggested forming a work group to consider an alternate revenue option, such as
a parks levy or general levy lid lift. He acknowledged he was uncertain whether enough could be raised
by a parks levy when the parks budget is $1.2 million; a general levy lid lift may be necessary. He
envisioned going to the voters with something that covered a significant portion of the parks maintenance
budget and included funds for sidewalks and possibly began the process of rebuilding the senior center.
Councilmember Dawson agreed with forming a committee to consider a full range of options and a plan
to place something on the ballot, whether it was a RFA, parks levy, a levy lid lift or a larger TBD. She
suggested there be some overlap between this committee and the RFA committee. She noted an aquatics
center should also be part of the discussion, envisioning the public may support funding for parks or
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
October 28, 2008
Page 15
transportation. She also suggested the revenue options be the primary topic for the next Council retreat,
recognizing the Council would need to go to the voters for approval of some type of revenue option.
Councilmember Bernheim agreed with Councilmember Dawson’s suggestion and in general supported
accelerating cuts that four or more Councilmembers agreed upon. He agreed with Councilmembers
Dawson and Wilson that a parks, transportation or environmental savings levy would need to be taken to
the voters.
Councilmember Wilson reminded that the survey conducted as part of the Parks Comprehensive Plan
indicated voters’ willingness to pay $1.05 - $1.20/$1000 AV for parks related activities.
COUNCILMEMBER WILSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DAWSON, TO
ESTABLISH A WORK GROUP COMPRISED OF 2-3 COUNCILMEMBERS THAT IS TASKED
WITH EXPLORING A PARKS LEVY AND/OR PROPERTY TAX LID LIFT THAT INCLUDES
AT LEAST THE PARKS DIRECTOR AND FINANCE DIRECTOR.
Mayor Haakenson pointed out the RFA study would likely take the greater part of 2009 and asked the
timeline for the parks levy discussion. Councilmember Wilson envisioned weekly or biweekly meetings
to develop information that could be presented to the Council by December 2.
Council President Plunkett suggested this work group consider all potential revenue sources including a
voter-approved TBD. Councilmember Wilson envisioned the work group would discuss a parks or
property tax levy lid lift and the TBD would be adopted at the $20 level via Council action.
Councilmember Bernheim envisioned a vote would occur in two years. He recommended the work group
also consider a larger voter-approved TBD, any progressive environmental conservation issue that might
require the expenditure of City funds, as well as funding for sidewalks/bike paths.
Councilmember Dawson agreed the work group should consider a broad range of options. She suggested
the Council may be ready to put a measure on the November 2009 ballot. She was concerned with
waiting for two years when the Council would be adopting another biennial budget. She suggested the
Council include election costs in the biennial budget and asked Ms. Chase to identify election dates in
2009.
Councilmember Wilson commented if the bond were on the November 2009 ballot and it failed, the
Council would be tasked with making a significant number of cuts quickly. He suggested placing a bond
on the August or earlier election. He urged the Council to be ambitious about developing a plan, promote
it to the voters and get it passed as early as May. Ms. Chase advised for the May 19 election, the
resolution calling for the election must be submitted by March 27.
If the Council chose to go to the voters with a parks levy in May, Mayor Haakenson suggested the
Council may as well not participate in discussions regarding the RFA because there would not be any
answers by May 2009. Councilmember Wilson pointed out one of the challenges with a RFA was
answering voters who would want the amount approved for an RFA return via City property taxes. He
acknowledged it may be necessary to do both a parks levy/property tax levy lid lift and a RFA, but it was
a much bigger risk to take all of 2009 to make that decision.
Councilmember Wambolt commented it was doubtful citizens would pass a parks levy or property tax
levy lid lift in May and it would be a waste of time and money to put it on the ballot. He recommended
making some of the proposed cuts, considering the revenue sources and proceeding with the study of a
RFA.

COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DAWSON, TO
EXTEND THE MEETING UNTIL 10:30 P.M. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Wilson restated his motion as follows:
FORM A WORK GROUP TASKED WITH FINDING NEW REVENUE SOURCES, SUCH AS A
PARKS LEVY, TBD, PROPERTY TAX LID LIFT, ETC., IN PLACE OF OR IN ADDITION TO A
RFA.
Councilmember Dawson clarified the motion did not obligate the Council to an election date, only to
consider revenue sources and whether there would be public support.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
COUNCILMEMBER WILSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT,
THAT COUNCILMEMBERS DAWSON, BERNHEIM AND HE SERVE ON THE COMMITTEE.
Councilmember Dawson commented she did not have time to meet twice a week between now and
December 2 due to her involvement in Snohomish County’s budget process. Councilmember Wilson
suggested she could participate via identifying resources and not necessarily attend meetings.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mayor Haakenson noted this motion should have been made at the Council retreat in February or this
summer as all the revenue options were presented to the Council at those meetings.
Councilmember Orvis explained he was participating on a task force at the Snohomish Health District
that was tasked with identifying budget cuts. The task force set a goal of $1.7 million in cuts which relies
on a loan from Snohomish County. He identified three cuts being considered:
1) Disease Investigator - $68,000
2) Child Care Health Program - $547,000
3) First Step Home Visits - $400,000 (matching grants)
Councilmember Dawson thanked Councilmember Orvis for the work he was doing at the Snohomish
Health District.
Councilmember Orvis noted the above options would result in cutting disease control more than it should
be cut or cutting programs that affect children’s health. He proposed asking the Council to provide
$80,000 to the Snohomish County Health District, explaining if all cities participated at $2 per capita, a
total of $734,000 could be raised.
Mayor Haakenson asked how many other cities had agreed to fund the Snohomish Health District at a
level of $2 per capita. Councilmember Orvis agreed Edmonds would be the first.
Councilmember Orvis described options for the $80,000 in the City’s budget including the use of ending
cash, delaying implementation of decision packages by one quarter, or implementing the cuts
recommended if the RFA were not formed. Mayor Haakenson assured there were no decision packages
in the 2009-2010 budget. Councilmember Orvis offered to work on options for funding the $80,000.
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
October 28, 2008
Page 17
Councilmember Dawson asked whether other cities had expressed an opinion regarding whether they
would support this and if there was discussion regarding an Interlocal Agreement between cities to
provide this funding. Councilmember Orvis answered some members have expressed interest and other
have said they were not interested. There was no way to force cities to participate at any certain level;
they would need to voluntarily participate.
Mayor Haakenson commented the Health District’s financial issues have been discussed at several recent
mayors’ meetings and none of the mayors were supportive of this plan. Councilmember Dawson pointed
out it was the legislative bodies of cities who determine what would be included in the budget. She asked
Councilmember Orvis to report whether any other cities were willing to provide funds to the Health
District.
9. COUNCIL REPORTS ON OUTSIDE COMMITTEE/BOARD MEETINGS
Councilmember Wambolt reported the October 13 Port meeting included discussion regarding redesign of
the Port operations office to improve efficiency. The meeting also included a workshop on their 2009
budget and Commissioners requested the Port Director make further cuts. The Port plans to hold one
more budget workshop. The Port signed a 14-month contract beginning January 1, 2009 with Sound
Transit to lease parking spaces during construction. The Skippers property is also being rented for
parking. The Port made a decision not to raise their property tax levy which currently generates
approximately $400,000. He noted the hotel at Harbor Square was now a Best Western.
Councilmember Orvis provided a list of cuts under consideration at the Health District; the goal was $1.7
million in cuts and the proposed cuts total only $1.3 million. He reviewed proposed cuts in
administration, communicable disease, vaccine preventable disease clinic, healthy communities, tobacco,
environmental health small system water support, and mosquito monitor for West Nile Virus. His goal in
2009 was to ensure the next legislative session enabled Health Districts to ask the voters for funding.
Councilmember Bernheim reported the Snohomish County Tomorrow meeting included a discussion of
the Cascadia Eastside Rail Project that would operate light-weight diesel powered trains on existing rail
lines between Snohomish, Bellevue and Renton with a walking path next to the tracks. It was also
announced at the meeting that long-term growth projections for Snohomish County have been lowered by
30,000 for 2025 due to growth in King and Pierce Counties.
10. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Haakenson had no report.
11. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Council President Plunkett commented the Council had gotten a good start on their budget discussions
tonight. He encouraged Councilmembers to bring their amendments to Council meetings, cautioning that
amendments posed to the Council without advance explanation were less likely to succeed. He also
recommended the Council choose a baseline budget.
Councilmember Wilson agreed tonight’s discussion was very engaging, one of the best the Council had
had.
Councilmember Wambolt commented in the last few days a significant amount of time was wasted by a
citizen seeking a minor amendment to the minutes of the last Council meeting. The citizen first
approached him and when he did not like his answer, he sought Councilmember Bernheim’s assistance.
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
October 28, 2008
Page 18
Councilmember Wambolt reminded that the Council minutes were summary minutes and not verbatim.
In the future he suggested citizens only propose amendments to the minutes that had some substance.
In response to Mr. Hertrich’s assertion that his mind was made up and he did not want any further public
hearings, Councilmember Wambolt clarified he said that only about the 1% increase in the property tax
levy. In response to Mr. Hertrich’s statement that 3-story buildings were his favorite thing in the BD
zone, Councilmember Wambolt clarified he supported a 30-foot height and had unsuccessfully introduced
a motion that would have limited buildings to two stories. With regard to Mr. Hertrich’s comment about
Ms. Cantwell’s letter, Councilmember Wambolt assured he did not say that Mr. Hertrich had written the
letter. He encouraged Mr. Hertrich to present facts to the Council during public comment.
Councilmember Bernheim expressed his support for funding the Health District. He displayed his utility
bill, highlighting a 60% reduction in his family’s natural gas consumption in October 2008 as compared
to October 2007, cuts he believed everyone would need to make soon. He urged the Council to take a
leadership role and to take pride in achieving reductions in energy use, driving less, etc., and urged the
community to strive for real and substantial savings in energy.
With regard to the proposed increase in utility taxes, Student Representative Warren suggested identifying
other sources of revenue.

For conditional uses listed in Table 16.43-1, the use may be permitted if the proposal
meets the criteria for conditional uses found in Chapter 20.05 ECDC, and all of the
following criteria are met:
1. Access and Parking. Pedestrian access shall be provided from the sidewalk. Vehicular
access shall only be provided consistent with ECDC 18.80.060. When a curb cut is
necessary, it shall be landscaped to be compatible with the pedestrian streetscape and
shall be located and designed to be as unobtrusive as possible.
2. Design and Landscaping. The project shall be designed so that it is oriented to the
street and contributes to the pedestrian streetscape environment. Fences more than four
feet in height along street lot lines shall only be permitted if they are at least 50 percent
open, such as a lattice pattern. Blank walls shall be discouraged, and when unavoidable
due to the nature of the use, shall be decorated by a combination of at least two of the
following:
a. Architectural features or details;
b. Artwork;
c. Landscaping. [Ord. 3624 § 1, 2007].

1 The setback for buildings and structures located at or above grade (exempting buildings and structures
entirely below the surface of the ground) shall be 15 feet from the lot line adjacent to residentially (R)
zoned property.
2 Specific provisions regarding building heights are contained in EDCD 16.43.030(C).
3 Within the BD4 zone, site development standards listed in Table 16.43-2 apply when a building contains a
ground floor consisting of commercial space to a depth of at least 60 feet measured from the street front of
the building. If a proposed building does not meet this ground floor commercial space requirement (e.g., an
entirely residential building is proposed), then the building setbacks listed for the RM-1.5 zone shall apply.
See ECDC 16.43.030(B)(8) for further details.
4 “Minimum height of ground floor within the designated street-front” means the vertical distance from top
to top of the successive finished floor surfaces for that portion of the ground floor located within the
designated street front (see ECDC 16.43.030(B)); and, if the ground floor is the only floor above street
grade, from the top of the floor finish to the top of the ceiling joists or, where there is not a ceiling, to the
top of the roof rafters. “Floor finish” is the exposed floor surface, including coverings applied over a
finished floor, and includes, but is not limited to, wood, vinyl flooring, wall-to-wall carpet, and concrete, as
illustrated in Figure 16.43-1. Figure 16.43-1 shows a ground floor height of 15 feet; note that the “finished”
ceiling height is only approximately 11 feet in this example.
5 Site development standards for single-family dwellings are the same as those specified for the RS-6 zone.

Map 16.43-1: Designated Street Front for Properties in the BD1 Zone
ECDC 16.43 Page 7 Planning Board Recommendation
Figure 16.43-1: Ground Floor Height Measurement
B. Ground Floor. This section describes requirements for development of the ground
floor of buildings in the BD zones.
1. For all BD zones, the ground floor is considered to be that floor of a building which is
closest in elevation to the finished grade along the width of the side of the structure that is
principally oriented to the designated street front of the building (this is normally the
adjacent sidewalk). For the purposes of this section, the ground “floor” is considered to
be the sum of the floor planes which, in combination, run the full extent of the building
and are closest in elevation to one another. For the purposes of this Chapter, the
definition of “ground floor” contained in ECDC 21.35.017 does not apply.
2. Designated street front. Map 16.43-1 shows the designated street front for all
properties lying within the BD1 zone, which is 30 feet measured perpendicular to the
indicated street front of the building lot. For all other BD zones, the designated street
front is established as the first 60 feet of the lot measured perpendicular to any street
right-of-way, excluding alleys.
ECDC 16.43 Page 8 Planning Board Recommendation
3. The minimum height of the ground floor within the designated street front. The
minimum height of the ground floor specified in Table 16.43-2 only applies to the height
of the ground floor located within the designated street front established in ECDC
16.43.030(B)(2).
4. Access to commercial uses within the designated street front. When a commercial use
is located on the ground floor within a designated street front as defined in ECDC
16.43.030(B)(2), the elevation of the ground floor and associated entry shall be within
seven inches of the grade level of the adjoining sidewalk. “Grade” shall be as measured at
the entry location. Portions of the ground floor outside the designated street front of the
building need not comply with the access requirements specified in this section.
5. When the designated street front of a building is on a slope which does not allow both
the elevation of the entry and ground floor within the designated street front to be entirely
within seven inches of the grade level of the sidewalk, as specified in ECDC
16.43.030(B)(4), the portion of the ground floor of the building located within the
designated street front may be designed so that either:
a. The entry is located within seven inches of the grade of the adjacent sidewalk, and
the commercial portion of the ground floor located within the designated street front
is within seven inches of the grade level of the entry; or
b. The building may be broken up into multiple frontages, so that each entry/ground
floor combination is within seven inches of the grade of the sidewalk.
c. For corner lots, a primary entry shall be established for the purposes of determining
where the ground floor entry rules detailed in this section shall apply. The first choice
for the primary entry shall be either 5th Avenue or Main Street. In the case of the
BD5 zone, the primary entry shall always be on 4th Avenue.
6. Within the BD1 zone, development on the ground floor shall consist of only
commercial uses, except that parking may be located on the ground floor so long as it is
not located within the designated street front.
7. Within the BD2 and BD3 zones, development on the ground floor shall consist of only
commercial uses within the designated street front. Any permitted use may be located on
the ground floor outside of the designated street front.
8. Within the BD4 zone, there are two options for developing the ground floor of a
building. One option is to develop the ground floor with commercial space, meeting the
same requirements detailed for the BD2 and BD3 zones in subsection (B)(7) of this
section. As a second option, if more residential space is provided so that the ground floor
does not meet the commercial use requirements described in subsection (B)(7) of this
section, then the building setbacks listed for the RM-1.5 zone shall apply. In the case
where RM-1.5 setbacks are required, the required street setback shall be landscaped and
ECDC 16.43 Page 9 Planning Board Recommendation
no fence or wall in the setback shall be over four feet in height above sidewalk grade
unless it is at least 50 percent open, such as in a lattice pattern.
9. Within the BD5 zone, one option is to develop the ground floor with commercial
space, meeting the same requirements detailed for the BD2 zone in subsection (B)(7) of
this section. When development of the ground floor does not conform to these
requirements, then development within the BD5 zone shall meet the following
requirements:
a. The building shall be oriented to 4th Avenue. “Orientation to 4th Avenue” shall
mean that:
i. At least one building entry shall face 4th Avenue.
ii. If the building is located adjacent to the public right-of-way, architectural
details and/or applied art shall be incorporated into the building design to add
interest at the pedestrian (i.e., ground floor) level.
iii. If the building is set back from the street, landscaping and/or artwork shall be
located between the building and the street front.
b. Live/work uses are encouraged within the BD5 zone, and potential live/work space
is required for new residential buildings if no other commercial use is provided on-
site.
i. If multiple residential uses are located on the ground floor, the building shall
incorporate live/work space into the ground floor design in such a way as to
enable building occupants to use portion(s) of their space for a commercial or
art/fabrication use. Live/work space means a structure or portion of a structure
that combines a commercial or manufacturing activity that is allowed in the zone
with a residential living space for the owner of the commercial or manufacturing
business, or the owner's employee, and that person's household. The live/work
space shall be designed so that a commercial or fabrication or home occupation
use can be established within the space.

Building at left (background) shows commercial space integrated with residential uses, and the entry
oriented to the street.
10. Exceptions and Clarifications. The regulations for the ground floor contained in
subsections (B)(1) through (9) of this section apply with the following exceptions or
clarifications.
a. That in all areas the provision of pedestrian access to permitted residential uses is
allowed as a permitted secondary use.
b. The restrictions on the location of residential uses shall not apply when a single-
family use is the only permitted primary use located on the property.
c. Existing buildings may be added onto or remodeled without adjusting the existing
height of the ground floor to meet the specified minimum height so long as the
addition or remodel does not increase the building footprint or its frontage along a
street by more than 25 percent. Permitted uses may occupy an existing space
regardless of whether that space meets the ground floor requirements for height.
d. Parking is not considered to be a commercial use for the purposes of satisfying the
ground floor commercial use requirement within the designated street front (e.g.,
when the first 30 feet of a building is within a designated street front in the BD1 zone,
parking may not be located within that 30 feet).
e. For properties within the BD2 or BD3 zone which have less than 90 feet of depth
measured from the street front, parking may be located in the rearmost 30 feet of the
property, even if a portion of the parking extends into the first 60 feet of the building.
In no case shall the depth of commercial space as measured from the street front of
the building be less than 30 feet.
f. Within the BD2, BD3 and BD4 zones, if the first 60 feet of the building as
measured perpendicular to the street consists only of commercial uses and permitted
ECDC 16.43 Page 11 Planning Board Recommendation
secondary uses, then permitted multiple-family residential unit(s) may be located
behind the commercial uses.
g. Within the BD1 zone, ground floor windows parallel to street lot lines shall be
transparent and unobstructed by curtains, blinds, or other window coverings intended
to obscure the interior from public view from the sidewalk.
h. Within the BD1 zone, each commercial space located on the ground floor within
the designated street front shall be directly accessible by an entry from the sidewalk.
C. Building Height Regulations.
1. The basic height limit is 25 feet (see definition of “height” detailed in ECDC
21.40.030).
2. Step-Back Rules. The following rules apply when calculating the maximum building
height for any building in the specified zone(s) (see Figures 16.43-3 and 16.43-4 for
illustrated examples).
a. Within the BD2, BD3, or BD4 zones, an additional five feet of building height, not
to exceed 30 feet, may be obtained if the building is designed to meet all of the
following conditions:
i. A building step-back is provided within 15 feet of any street front. Within the
15-foot step-back, the maximum building height is the lesser of 25 feet above
grade at the property line (e.g., normally the back of the sidewalk) or 30 feet
above the “average level” as defined in ECDC 21.40.030. For corner lots, a 15-
foot step-back is required along both street fronts. If a building located on a
corner lot has insufficient lot width (i.e., less than 40 feet of lot width) to enable it
to provide the required step-back on both street fronts, then the step-back may be
waived facing the secondary street. This waiver may not be granted for building
step-backs required from Fifth Avenue, Dayton Street, or Main Street.
ii. A 15-foot step-back is provided from the property line opposite the street front.
Within the 15-foot step-back, the maximum building height is the lesser of 25 feet
above grade or 30 feet above the “average level” as defined in ECDC 21.40.030.
For corner lots for which a 15-foot step-back is required on more than one street
front, there is no 15-foot step-back required from the property line opposite each
street front. For the purpose of determining step-back requirements, alleys are not
considered to be streets.
iii. A building setback, in which the entire building is set back from the property
line, may be substituted on a foot-for-foot basis for the required building step-
back. For example, a five-foot building setback can be combined with a 10-foot
building step-back to meet the 15-foot step-back requirement.
ECDC 16.43 Page 12 Planning Board Recommendation
b. Within the BD1 zone, building height may be a maximum of 30 feet in order to
provide for a minimum height of 15 feet for the ground floor. The allowable building
height is measured from the “average level” as defined in ECDC 21.40.030.
ECDC 16.43 Page 13 Planning Board Recommendation
3. Within the BD5 zone, the maximum height may be increased to 30 feet if the building
meets one of the following conditions. In addition, if the building is located within 15
feet of the public right-of-way, architectural details and/or applied art shall be
incorporated into the building design, and the ground floor shall be distinguished from
the upper portions of the building through the use of differences in materials, windows,
and/or architectural forms.
a. All portions of the building above 25 feet consist of a pitched roof such that the
pitch of all portions of the roof are at least six-in-12 and the roof includes
architectural features, such as dormers or gables of a steeper pitch, that break up the
roof line into distinct segments.
b. If the building does not make use of a pitched roof system as described in
subsection (C)(3)(a) of this section, step-backs shall be required the same as for the
BD2 zone, as described in ECDC 16.43.030(C)(2).
4. Height Exceptions. In addition to the height exceptions listed in ECDC 21.40.030, the
following architectural features are allowed to extend above the height limits specified in
this chapter.
a. A single decorative architectural element, such as a turret, tower, or clock tower,
may extend a maximum of five feet above the specified height limit if it is designed
as an integral architectural feature of the roof and/or facade of the building. The
decorative architectural element shall not cover more than five percent of the roof
area of the building.
b. Roof or deck railings may extend a maximum of 42 inches above the specified
height limit within any building step-back required under ECDC 16.43.030(C)(2);
provided, that the railing is constructed so that it has the appearance of being
transparent. An example meeting this condition would be a railing that is comprised
of glass panels.
D. Off-Street Parking and Access Requirements. The parking regulations included here
apply specifically within the BD zone. Whenever there are conflicts between the
requirements of this chapter and the provisions contained in Chapter 17.50 ECDC, Off-
Street Parking Regulations, the provisions of this chapter shall apply.
1. Within the BD1 zone, no new curb cuts are permitted along 5th Avenue or Main
Street.
2. No parking is required for any commercial floor area of permitted uses located within
the BD1, BD2, BD4, and BD5 zones.
3. No parking is required for any floor area in any building with a total building footprint
of less than 4,800 square feet.
ECDC 16.43 Page 14 Planning Board Recommendation
E. Open Space Requirements.
1. For buildings on lots larger than 12,000 square feet or having an overall building width
of more than 120 feet (as measured parallel to the street lot line), at least five percent of
the lot area shall be devoted to open space. Open space shall not be required for additions
to existing buildings that do not increase the building footprint by more than 10 percent.
Open space shall be provided adjacent to the street front (street lot line). Such open space
may be provided as any combination of:
a. Outdoor dining or seating areas (including outdoor seating or waiting areas for
restaurants or food service establishments);
b. Public plaza or sidewalk that is accessible to the public;
c. Landscaping which includes a seating area that is accessible to the public.
2. Required open space shall be open to the air and not located under a building story.
3. In overall dimension, the width of required open space shall not be less than 75 percent
of the depth of the open space, measured relative to the street (i.e., width is measured
parallel to the street lot line, while depth is measured perpendicular to the street lot line).
ECDC 16.43 Page 15 Planning Board Recommendation
F. Historic Buildings. The exceptions contained in this section apply only to buildings
listed on the Edmonds register of historic buildings.
1. If a certificate of appropriateness is issued by the Edmonds historic preservation
commission under the provisions of Chapter 20.45 ECDC for the proposed project, the
staff may modify or waive any of the requirements listed below that would otherwise
apply to the expansion, remodeling, or restoration of the building. The decision of staff
shall be processed as a staff decision, notice required, as provided for in ECDC
20.95.050.
a. Building step-backs required under subsection (C)(2) of this section.
b. Open space required under subsection (E) of this section.
2. No off-street parking is required for any permitted uses located within a building listed
on the Edmonds register of historic buildings. Note that additional parking exceptions
involving building expansion, remodeling or restoration may also apply, as detailed in
ECDC 17.50.070(C).
ECDC 16.43 Page 16 Planning Board Recommendation
3. Within the BD5 zone, if a building listed on the Edmonds register of historic buildings
is retained on-site, no off-street parking is required for any additional buildings or uses
located on the same property. To obtain this benefit, an easement in a form acceptable to
the city shall be recorded with Snohomish County protecting the exterior of the historic
building and ensuring that the historic building is maintained in its historic form and
appearance so long as the additional building(s) obtaining the parking benefit exist on the
property. The easement shall continue even if the property is subsequently subdivided or
any interest in the property is sold.
G. Density. There is no maximum density for permitted multiple dwelling units.
H. Screening. The required setback from R-zoned property shall be landscaped with trees
and ground cover and permanently maintained by the owner of the BD lot. A six-foot
minimum height fence, wall or solid hedge shall be provided at some point in the setback,
except for that portion of the BD zone that is in residential use.
I. Signs, Parking and Design Review. See Chapters 17.50, 20.10, and 20.60 ECDC. Sign
standards shall be the same as those that apply within the BC zone.
J. Satellite Television Antennas. In accordance with the limitations established by the
Federal Communications Commission, satellite television antennae greater than two
meters in diameter shall be reviewed in accordance with the provisions of ECDC
16.20.050. [Ord. 3624 § 1, 2007].
16.43.035 Design Standards - BD1 Zone.
Design standards for the BD1 zone are contained in ECDC 22.43.
16.43.040 Operating restrictions.
A. Enclosed Building. All uses shall be carried on entirely within a completely enclosed
building, except:
1. Public uses such as utilities and parks;
2. Off-street parking and loading areas, and commercial parking lots;
3. Drive-in businesses;
4. Plant nurseries;
5. Seasonal farmers' markets;
6. Limited outdoor display of merchandise meeting the criteria of Chapter 17.65 ECDC;
7. Bistro and outdoor dining meeting the criteria of ECDC 17.70.040;
ECDC 16.43 Page 17 Planning Board Recommendation

OF A LOCAL BUSINESS AND OCCUPATION TAX ON
RETAIL BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES.
WHEREAS, the State of Washington currently collects a State business and occupation
tax, and
WHEREAS, taxes are one of the most important factors influencing business location
decisions, and
WHEREAS, most cities adjacent to, and within the immediate vicinity of, Edmonds
currently do not collect a local business and occupation tax, and
WHEREAS, a Business and Occupation tax could serve to make existing businesses in
Edmonds less competitive, and dissuade new businesses from locating in the City of Edmonds;

significant tax burdens on start-up businesses, and therefore frustrates job creation, business
prosperity, and economic development; and
WHEREAS, the Edmonds City Council wants to retain the City’s relative competitive
position to other nearby cities, now, therefore,

Utility Poles in Residential Zones

Date:11/03/2008
Submitted By:Duane Bowman Time:30 Minutes

Review Committee:

Information
Subject Title
Public hearing on a proposed amendment to Edmonds Community Development Code
Chapter 18.05, Utility Wires, regarding replacement of power poles including requiring
replacement poles in residential zones to be wood.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
Adopt the proposed ordinance.
Previous Council Action
The CS/DS Committee reviewed this matter at their October 14, 2008 meeting. The CS/DS
Committee recommended that the draft language be forwarded to the City Council for approval
and that staff draft possible language to address the concerns raised by the Snohomish County
PUD.
Narrative
Recently, a Snohomish County PUD power pole was replaced in a Seaview area neighborhood in
the 8300 block of 188th St. S.W. The power pole was replaced due to the addition of wireless
antennas being added by T-Mobile. Because these are considered micro-cells, no public notice
was required to be given regarding the permit. The surrounding residents became quite upset when
they discovered the construction of the replacement pole was a large steel, industrial type pole and
not the normal wooden poles found throughout the neighborhood.
While it is too late to anything about this specific pole, it does seem appropriate to rethink our
current regulations to prevent this from occurring in the future. Exhibit 2 is a draft of proposed
language changes for Chapter 18.05 which will address a lot of the concerns raised by citizens.
The draft language requires replacement poles in single family residential zones to be wooden.
Further, conduit is required to be painted to match the pole. Lastly, when a wireless antenna is
proposed to be added to a power pole, a neighborhood informational meeting is required to be
held prior to installation and approval of the City.
Snohomish County PUD has raised concerns over the restriction of just using wood replacement
poles in residential zones and asked that the city consider allowing other options. The CS/DS
Committee supported wood replacement poles but directed staff to draft possible language
requiring a public hearing should another material be considered for use in replacing a power
pole.
The City Attorney re-drafted to include additional amendments and requires wood poles unless
specific evidence can be provided to allow an alternative material. There is not a public hearing
requirement since it would be difficult to prove an alternative material is needed.

The committee convened at 6:05 p.m.
A. Development regulations relating to the fiber optic network.
Duane Bowman, Development Services Director, introduced this topic. This subject was brought
during a presentation by Rick Jenness on the city’s fiber optic program. He noted that in order to
mandate a program of installation of conduit for fiber optic on private property, the city would need to
develop program to give basis for the requirement. He described some alternatives where the city
could set standards for its city projects, a voluntary program or a program of the city paying for
conduit for a developer to install. Noel Miller noted that the city still would have to identify a funding
source for purchasing conduit. Rick Jenness indicated that he didn’t believe the cost to be that high.
He noted that for a developer it could actually be cheaper to install conduit and prevent future
disruptions when communications providers decide to install service. Mayor Haakenson pointed out
that the fiber optic program will not be going forward at this time and maybe voluntary installation
would be the best case scenario. Peggy Olson concurred that a voluntary program would work.
Council member Wilson noted that this is probably something that should be considered during next
year’s capital improvement program (CIP) discussion.
ACTION: Staff will continue to refine ideas and come back to the committee during the CIP process
next year.
B. Discussion on Community Sustainability Element of the Comprehensive Plan.
Rob Chave introduced the topic. He described the current work on the sustainability element noting
that the format for the new element would be done to fit with the growth management act (GMA)
format of goals and then policies. He noted that the new element would be overarching with specific
detail within existing plan elements and cited an example of policies in the sustainability element on
housing with more specifics with the housing element. This new element would drive more strategic
planning and policy review to guide use of city resources and programs. Council member Wilson
thought it would be a good idea to have a preamble at the start of the element stating this. He asked
about the timeframe to complete the work on the element. Rob Chave indicated that some portions
of the work could be completed in two years with the complete element in the range of five to seven
years.
ACTION: Staff will bring back refinements to the draft language for review at the November CS/DS
meeting.

C. Review possible amendments to ECDC Chapter 18.05, Utility Wires, regarding
replacement power poles.
Duane Bowman, Development Services Director, introduced the topic. This matter came to the
attention of the city based upon an incident in the Seaview area when a PUD transmission pole was
replaced with a steel pole as part of the addition of a wireless micro cell on top of the new pole. He
reviewed the draft language and highlighted two key revisions. First, a neighborhood informational
meeting would be required before a permit for a replacement pole with wireless antenna attached
could be issued. Second, replaced poles in residential neighborhoods would have to be wood. Mr.
Bowman distributed an email from a representative from the Snohomish County PUD which raised a
concern about the draft language. They were concerned about the requirement to solely use wood
poles in residential neighborhoods. Mayor Haakenson stated that he did not believe that this was a
major concern and that wood was the proper material for power poles in residential neighborhoods.
Council member Wilson and Olson agreed. Mr. Bowman indicated that he could draft some
language to address the concern raised by the PUD which would require a public hearing if they
wanted some a material other than wood.
ACTION: The CS/DS committee recommended the draft language be forwarded to the City Council
for approval and that staff draft possible language to address the concerns raised by the PUD
D. Discussion on commercial uses in residential zones related to house rentals.
Duane Bowman, Development Services Director, introduced the topic. This matter came to the
attention of the city based upon incidents related to the rental of a large house in the Talbot Park
area for weddings, conferences, parties etc. The house is available to rent by the day, week, or
month. The residents in the neighborhood have complained about increased traffic and noise.
Staff believes that the code needs to be amended to address this issue. Mr. Bowman distributed a
draft interim zoning ordinance that would amend Chapter 16.20.010of the Edmonds Community
Development Code (ECDC) to restrict rental of a house to not less than thirty days. He noted that
the city could pick the timeframe (a week or month(s)). Council member Wilson expressed concern
about the ordinance and could not support such an ordinance. He noted that this could potentially
impact other residences that are available to rent in the community. He asked if staff researched the
impact of the ordinance on other property owners. Mr. Bowman indicated that staff had not done
any research.
ACTION: The CS/DS committee recommended the draft interim ordinance be presented to the City
Council with a timeline to do a code amendment following the normal code amendment process.
Staff was also requested to do research to see if this proposed ordinance would impact other
properties.
The Committee meeting adjourned at 7:10 p.m.

automatically renewable for two (2) additional terms of five (5) consecutive calendar year periods,

agreement. In order to accommodate a pending CTED grant application, the initial term may be

support the CTED grant’s requirements. So long as the premises are being used as represented and
in accordance with neighborhood facility application to HUD File No. NFP-WA-10-19-1001 and
subsequent grant agreements, renewal shall be automatic unless either party provides written notice
of its intent to terminate the lease by November 1 of the tenth year of the original agreement.
Written notice of intent to terminate in order to renegotiate the terms of the lease may be provided in
the same manner and shall be considered a notice to terminate. In addition to any other obligation
set forth herein, the Lessee shall, pursuant to applicable regulations of the Department of Housing
and Urban Development as promulgated and applicable to neighborhood facility, provide to Lessor

Exhibit 2 {WSS706663.DOC;1/00006.900000/}
1 of 7
breaching party fails to cure the breach within ten (10) days, the non-breaching party may then

anniversary of each five-year renewal period to make appropriate increases or decreases in the
amount to be paid by Lessee to adequately reflect the increase or decrease in the cost of the

compensation provision.

A. In the event that this lease is terminated by the Lessor, it will assist with
efforts, subject to the legislative discretion of the City of Edmonds, to relocate or rebuild the Senior

supplement its activities and raise funds for its programs and purposes.
C. It is expressly agreed and understood that Lessor shall have the right to use
portions of the leased premises at such times and in such areas as do not conflict with the regular
activities and programs of Lessee.
12. Fire and Other Casualty. In the event the premises are destroyed or damaged by fire,
earthquake or other casualty to such an extent as to render the same untenantable in whole or in a
substantial part thereof, and after the happening of any such contingency, the Lessee shall give
Lessor or Lessor's agents immediate notice thereof. It shall be optional with the Lessor to rebuild or
repair the same in accordance with the underlying HUD Grant. Lessor shall have not more than
sixty (60) days after date of such notification, to notify the Lessee in writing of Lessor's intentions to
rebuild or repair said premises, or the part so damaged as aforesaid, and if Lessor elects to rebuild or
repair said premises, Lessor shall prosecute the work of such rebuilding or repairing in accordance
with the exercise of discretion of its City Council.

4 of 7
15. Costs and Attorney Fees. If by reason of any default on the part of the Lessee in the
performance of any of the provisions of this lease, it becomes necessary for the Lessor to employ an
attorney, the Lessee agrees to pay all costs, expenses and reasonable attorney's fees expended or
incurred by the Lessor in connection therewith, if the court hearing the matter determines in its
discretion that Lessor should be entitled to reimbursement for said fees, costs and expenses. The
amount to be paid by Lessee in such event shall be determined by the court. Lessee shall also be
entitled to its reasonable attorney's fees in the event it shall prevail in any lawsuit to enforce its
rights under this agreement.
16. Non-Waiver of Breach. The failure of the Lessor to insist upon strict performance
of any of the covenants and agreements of this lease, or to exercise any option herein conferred in
any one or more instances, shall not be construed to be a waiver or relinquishment of any such
provision, or any other covenants or agreements, but the same shall be and remain in full force and
effect.
17. Removal of Lessee's Property. In the event of any entry in, or taking possession of,
the leased premises as aforesaid, the Lessor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remove

organized under the laws of the State of Washington for non-profit corporations and that the
representatives of Lessee signing this lease are legally authorized to sign and bind Lessee
accordingly.

2. Consideration: Programs. That in consideration of said funds, SCSC agrees to provide
and augment the recreational activities of the City to provide recreational and social service
programs for senior citizens of Edmonds. The parties agree that it is to the mutual benefit of
both signators hereto to have SCSC plan and program said recreational and social service
activities for senior citizens of Edmonds rather than the City establishing a separate recreational
program of its own due to the economies and efficiencies that may be achieved by such mutual
cooperation between the parties. All programs of SCSC shall be available to eligible Edmonds
citizens at the same cost, if any, or at a reduced rate below that, to which such programs are
available to the general senior population. The programs to be provided are set forth on the
attached Exhibit A, incorporated by this reference as if herein set forth. [SCSC TO PROVIDE
EXHIBIT A FOR COUNCIL REVIEW.]
3. Use of Funds: SCSC agrees that the funds to be received pursuant to this agreement shall
be exclusively for the purpose of providing recreational or social service programs as set forth in
Exhibit A or to help fund recreation classes and social service programs for senior citizens of
Edmonds for the calendar year 2009. Any funds not so used shall be refunded to the City and the
failure to utilize the funds for the purposes enumerated herein shall be grounds for termination of
this agreement without notice by the City.
4. Audit; Reporting. SCSC shall account for the expenditures of all funds received by it
from the City on an annual or more frequent basis and shall provide a statement in the form
prescribed by the City through its Finance Director, or other authorized official, to evidence the
nature and manner of expenditures of these funds to provide the City with sufficient
substantiation that these funds have been used for the purposes enumerated. In addition, SCSC
shall provide an annual report to the City Council in September 2009, detailing its program for
2009 and any changes, improvements, and enhancements as well as pending grant proposals.
SCSC shall maintain its financial records in accordance with generally accepted accounting
practice and shall make such records available for inspection during normal business hours by
Exhibit 3 {WSS706623.DOC;1/00006.900000/}
1 of 3
the City, the State Auditor or the designee(s) thereof. In the event SCSC expends any of these
funds for purposes other than enumerated, and such expenditures are deemed to be a violation of
the provisions of the Constitution or the laws of the State of Washington, the City may, at its
alternative, discontinue all further payments hereunder and/or seek restitution of those sums
which have been unconstitutionally expended by SCSC.
5. Indemnity. SCSC agrees to protect, indemnify and save the City, its officers, agents and
employees harmless from and against any and all injury or damage to the City or its property,
and also from and against all claims, demands and causes of action of every kind and character
arising directly or indirectly or in any way incident to, in connection with, or arising out of or
under the terms of this Agreement, caused by the fault of SCSC, its agents, employees,
representatives or subcontractors. SCSC specifically promises to indemnify the City against
claims or suits brought under Title 51 RCW by his employees or subcontractors and waives any
immunity that SCSC may have under that title with respect to the City. SCSC further agrees to
fully indemnify the City from and against any and all costs of defending any such claim or
demand to the end that the City is held harmless therefrom. This section shall not apply to
damages or claims resulting from the sole negligence of the City, in which event the laws of the
State of Washington shall govern the parties' respective liabilities.
6. Insurance. SCSC shall secure and maintain in full force and effect during performance of
all work pursuant to this agreement a policy of comprehensive general liability insurance
providing coverage of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 aggregate for personal
injury; $250,000 per occurrence and aggregate for property damage. Such policy shall list the
City as a named insured and shall include a provision prohibiting cancellation of said policy
except upon thirty (30) days written notice to the City. Certificates of coverage shall be
delivered to the City within fifteen (15) days of execution of this document.
7. Independent Contractor Status. SCSC shall be and is an independent contractor and
nothing herein shall be interpreted to create an employment relationship between the City and
SCSC with any employee of either the city or SCSC with respect to the other party to this
agreement. SCSC agrees to hold harmless and indemnify the City from any and all employee-
related costs arising from or out of a claim by any of its employees against the City for wages,
costs or benefits relating to such employee's employment by SCSC.
8. Use Records. SCSC agrees to maintain current records containing the residence
addresses of the persons who utilize the services during the calendar year of the contract and
provide a year-end report on total number of Edmonds' residents accessing services and the true
and actual numbers of service hours provided to all clientele.
9. Termination. Either party may terminate this Agreement without cause upon providing
thirty (30) days written notice to the other Party; PROVIDED, that the City may terminate this
Agreement effective immediately if SCSC fails to maintain the insurance coverage required
hereunder. Termination shall not affect SCSC’s obligation to protect, indemnify, and hold
harmless the City as provided hereunder. This agreement shall be automatically renewed for
each successive year unless revoked in writing by one of the parties prior to November 30th of
the current year; unless terminated pursuant to Paragraph No. 4.

Interim Zoning Ordinance: Commercial Rentals in Residential Zones
Edmonds City Council Meeting
Date:11/03/2008
Submitted By:Duane Bowman Time:30 Minutes
Department:Development Services Type:
Review Committee:
Action:
Information
Subject Title
Proposed Interim Zoning Ordinance regarding commercial uses in residential zones related
to house rentals.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
After deciding an acceptable rental time period, adopt the proposed ordinance with appropriate
rental date and set December 16, 2008 for a public hearing on the interim ordinance.
Previous Council Action
This matter was reviewed at the October 14, 2008 CS/DS Committee meeting. The CS/DS
Committee recommended the draft interim ordinance be presented to the City Council with a
timeline to do a code amendment following the normal code amendment process. Staff was also
requested to do research to see if this proposed ordinance would impact other properties.
Narrative
The City has run into an issue where a property owner is renting a large house out for parties,
conferences and weddings on a daily, weekly or monthly rental in a single family zoned
neighborhood. Problems with noise, parking and traffic have been associated with the rental of the
house. Staff believes that there should be some clarification of our standards for rentals in single
family zones.
The CS/DS Committee forwarded the interim zoning ordinance for the City Council for review.
Concern was raised at the CS/DS Committee meeting about the impact on other properties and
what should the length of time be for house rentals. Also the Committee wanted to know what the
process would be to do a code amendment through the normal code amendment process.
Staff did research and found four vacation rental homes (two apartments and two houses) in
Edmonds. They are located near downtown and rent for the week. While the draft ordinance
states thirty (30 ) days for the minimum rental period, this was only an initial time period selected
by staff to start the discussion. It would appear that a minimum of one week would be
acceptable. Staff does not support single day rentals.

Community Service/Development Services Committee Meeting
October 10, 2008
Elected Officials Present: Staff Present:
Peggy Pritchard-Olson, Chair Duane Bowman, Dev. Services Director
D.J. Wilson, Councilmember
Michael Plunkett, Council President
Gary Haakenson, Mayor
Rob Chave, Planning Manager
Rob English, City Engineer
Noel Miller, Public Works Director
The committee convened at 6:05 p.m.
A. Development regulations relating to the fiber optic network.
Duane Bowman, Development Services Director, introduced this topic. This subject was brought
during a presentation by Rick Jenness on the city’s fiber optic program. He noted that in order to
mandate a program of installation of conduit for fiber optic on private property, the city would need to
develop program to give basis for the requirement. He described some alternatives where the city
could set standards for its city projects, a voluntary program or a program of the city paying for
conduit for a developer to install. Noel Miller noted that the city still would have to identify a funding
source for purchasing conduit. Rick Jenness indicated that he didn’t believe the cost to be that high.
He noted that for a developer it could actually be cheaper to install conduit and prevent future
disruptions when communications providers decide to install service. Mayor Haakenson pointed out
that the fiber optic program will not be going forward at this time and maybe voluntary installation
would be the best case scenario. Peggy Olson concurred that a voluntary program would work.
Council member Wilson noted that this is probably something that should be considered during next
year’s capital improvement program (CIP) discussion.
ACTION: Staff will continue to refine ideas and come back to the committee during the CIP process
next year.
B. Discussion on Community Sustainability Element of the Comprehensive Plan.
Rob Chave introduced the topic. He described the current work on the sustainability element noting
that the format for the new element would be done to fit with the growth management act (GMA)
format of goals and then policies. He noted that the new element would be overarching with specific
detail within existing plan elements and cited an example of policies in the sustainability element on
housing with more specifics with the housing element. This new element would drive more strategic
planning and policy review to guide use of city resources and programs. Council member Wilson
thought it would be a good idea to have a preamble at the start of the element stating this. He asked
about the timeframe to complete the work on the element. Rob Chave indicated that some portions
of the work could be completed in two years with the complete element in the range of five to seven
years.
ACTION: Staff will bring back refinements to the draft language for review at the November CS/DS
meeting.

C. Review possible amendments to ECDC Chapter 18.05, Utility Wires, regarding
replacement power poles.
Duane Bowman, Development Services Director, introduced the topic. This matter came to the
attention of the city based upon an incident in the Seaview area when a PUD transmission pole was
replaced with a steel pole as part of the addition of a wireless micro cell on top of the new pole. He
reviewed the draft language and highlighted two key revisions. First, a neighborhood informational
meeting would be required before a permit for a replacement pole with wireless antenna attached
could be issued. Second, replaced poles in residential neighborhoods would have to be wood. Mr.
Bowman distributed an email from a representative from the Snohomish County PUD which raised a
concern about the draft language. They were concerned about the requirement to solely use wood
poles in residential neighborhoods. Mayor Haakenson stated that he did not believe that this was a
major concern and that wood was the proper material for power poles in residential neighborhoods.
Council member Wilson and Olson agreed. Mr. Bowman indicated that he could draft some
language to address the concern raised by the PUD which would require a public hearing if they
wanted some a material other than wood.
ACTION: The CS/DS committee recommended the draft language be forwarded to the City Council
for approval and that staff draft possible language to address the concerns raised by the PUD
D. Discussion on commercial uses in residential zones related to house rentals.
Duane Bowman, Development Services Director, introduced the topic. This matter came to the
attention of the city based upon incidents related to the rental of a large house in the Talbot Park
area for weddings, conferences, parties etc. The house is available to rent by the day, week, or
month. The residents in the neighborhood have complained about increased traffic and noise.
Staff believes that the code needs to be amended to address this issue. Mr. Bowman distributed a
draft interim zoning ordinance that would amend Chapter 16.20.010of the Edmonds Community
Development Code (ECDC) to restrict rental of a house to not less than thirty days. He noted that
the city could pick the timeframe (a week or month(s)). Council member Wilson expressed concern
about the ordinance and could not support such an ordinance. He noted that this could potentially
impact other residences that are available to rent in the community. He asked if staff researched the
impact of the ordinance on other property owners. Mr. Bowman indicated that staff had not done
any research.
ACTION: The CS/DS committee recommended the draft interim ordinance be presented to the City
Council with a timeline to do a code amendment following the normal code amendment process.
Staff was also requested to do research to see if this proposed ordinance would impact other
properties.
The Committee meeting adjourned at 7:10 p.m.

Edmonds City Council Meeting
Date:11/03/2008
Submitted By:Stephen Clifton Time:5 Minutes
Department:Community Services Type:Information
Review Committee:
Action:
Information
Subject Title
First Reading: Ordinance amending the Edmonds City Code to enact a new Chapter 3.65,
Edmonds Transportation Benefit District (TBD), establishing a TBD, specifying the
boundaries for the TBD, specifying the TBD’s purpose to maintain, preserve, construct and
reconstruct existing street transportation infrastructure and other City street improvements
when designated on State and regional plans. (Note: A public hearing is scheduled on 11/18/08 on this
matter.)
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
Previous Council Action
On October 21, 2008, the Edmonds City Council approved Resolution 1181 setting a public
hearing on November 18, 2008 regarding the potential establishment of a Transportation Benefit
District (TBD).
Narrative
On October 21, 2008, the City Council was provided a Resolution setting a Public Hearing
regarding the establishment of a Transportation Benefit District pursuant to the authority of
Chapter 36.73 RCW, and a draft Ordinance amending the Edmonds City Code to enact a new
Chapter 3.65, Edmonds Transportation Benefit District (TBD).
If the City Council were to establish a TBD, because the City would be authorizing a separate
legal entity (the TBD) to use city right of way, this can be construed as a franchise. As a
"franchise" ordinance, the proposed ordinance needs to be read twice (i.e. introduced at a public
meeting at least 5 days before passage). As such, the November 3, 2008 first reading of the
attached Ordinance amending the Edmonds City Code to enact a new Chapter 3.65, Edmonds
Transportation Benefit District, serves this purpose.

competitive bidding requirements, in order to restore a failing roadway embankment and culvert
on Talbot Road and appropriate up to $250,000 from the Combined 411 Utility Fund and cash
balance.
Previous Council Action
None.
Narrative
Public Works personnel have been monitoring a roadway embankment that is beginning to slough
on Talbot Road, near Cyrus Place. A geotechnical engineering firm was hired to provide technical
assistance. The cause of the sloughing is due to a deteriorating stormwater culvert at the bottom
of the embankment. This past week, staff has observed an accelerated settlement of the sidewalk
adjacent to the roadway. Staff has very serious concerns that the embankment will fail during the
upcoming rainy season. Thus, time is of the essence to correct this situation and avoid additional
damage and subsequent costs to the City right-of-way, utilities and abutting properties.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS,
WASHINGTON, AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND STAFF TO DISPENSE WITH
COMPETITIVE BIDDING REQUIREMENTS IN ORDER TO RESTORE A FAILING
ROADWAY EMBANKMENT ON TALBOT ROAD
WHEREAS, based upon the presentation of staff and the information contained in the
public record, the City Council finds that the imminent failure of a public road way embankment,
within the right of way of Talbot Road, constitutes an emergency within the meaning of
RCW 39.04.280(1) (c); and
WHEREAS, RCW 39.04.280(1) (c) authorizes the City to waive competitive bidding
requirements in the event of an emergency, and
WHEREAS, an emergency is defined by RCW 39.04.280(3) to mean an unforeseen
circumstance beyond the control of the municipality that either: (a) presents a real immediate
danger to the proper performance of an essential function; or (b) will likely result in material loss
or damage to property, bodily injury or loss of life if immediate action is not taken, and
WHEREAS, the City Council has received the staff report of the Public Works Director
and staff describing the roadway embankment emergency brought about by a failing storm water
culvert; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and concludes that the immediate restoration of city
roadways and utility systems by contractors and consultants through negotiation rather than
competitive bidding or selection is in the public interest, now, therefore,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON,
HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
The Edmonds City Council hereby authorizes the Mayor and his designees to waive competitive
bidding and consultant selection requirements in order to contract for the restoration of the
embankment and culvert on Talbot Road.

Subject: Potential Action on Council Direction re 2009-2010 Budget Options
Speaking not as the Council President but as a Councilmember, as I mentioned last week, I continue to
believe taking a pathway toward a particular budget direction would settle at least one of the outstanding
issues.
I therefore want to inform you that at the next budget workshop, I will again be asking Council to give
direction to the Mayor and Council President to use Budget Option 3 as the baseline document leading toward
potential adoption and amendment at the November 3, 2008 Council Meeting.
I repeat this is Council direction and not the adoption of the budget. However, I feel as though this kind
of Council direction will be helpful in moving forward at this time so this is to let you know I will be seeking
Council direction and leadership for this item for our next workshop.
