Subdivision Regulations with the Comprehensive Plan. (Continue to August 15, 1995)
Mayor Sargent reviewed the information provided by the Planning Department.
Planning Director Collins informed the Council that the Planning Commission was
not going to have this item on it's July 12th agenda. Rather, it would like to have
the City re-advertise when the matter is ready for action.
Mayor Sargent opened the public hearing at 7:28 p.m. There was no one present
who wished to address the issue, and the public hearing was closed at 7:28 p.m.
There was no action taken.
CITY COUNCIL Councilman Braun attended the AWC meeting in Seattle; he was most impressed
COMMITTEE with the level of speakers and the content of the meeting sessions. He felt the
REPORTS: information received on I164 to be somewhat ambiguous. Discussion followed on
I164; AWC plans to put together a plan of how cities can deal with this issue if it
is passed. Mayor Sargent noted that the only AWC funds used toward this issue
would be those from associate member dues.
Councilman Doyle attended a meeting of the Youth Task Force; he deferred any
further report on this meeting to Councilman Hulett. He, too, attended the AWC
meeting.
Councilman Schueler had no report other than his attendance at the AWC meeting.
Councilman Ostrowski had nothing to report.
Councilmember McKeown also attended the Youth Task Force meeting.
Councilman Hulett, reporting on the Youth Task Force meeting, indicated that the
members of the Task Force delineated a proposal involving many groups. The
proposal includes utilization by the different groups of the old Library, the old Senior
Center, the Lincoln School, and property adjacent to the Lincoln School. However,
representatives of the other groups were not present to hear or speak to the proposal.
It is, therefore, planned to conduct another meeting with all those involved.
Councilman Hulett felt it appropriate to have the City Manager represent the City at
this meeting. Manager Pomeranz agreed, but suggested having a City Council
representative as well. In the ensuing discussion, it was agreed that Manager
Pomeranz would attend this particular meeting, after which time the Council would
consider appointing a representative.

CITY COUNCIL Councilman Hulett also attended the AWC meeting.
COMMITTEE
REPORTS: (Cont'd) Mayor Sargent reported on at[endance at the AWC meeting, commenting that it was
most worthwhile. Sharing ideas and information has proven to be very meaningful.
Councilman Schueler expressed frustration with how City Council members are
limited from communicating with each other and preparing residents for upcoming
issues. Attorney Knutson indicated the time for Council members to communicate
with each other is after a public hearing has been conducted. However, he
acknowledged there is pressure on City Council to act immediately on certain issues.
Nevertheless, the City Council can opt to continue the matter in order to give more
time for deliberation. Lengthy discussion was held about possibly changing the law
to make it less restrictive. However, Attorney Knutson indicated such laws have
come about by virtue of the fact that voters have wanted government to be more
open. He noted that the laws pertinent to appearance of fairness have become less
restrictive over time. Further, Attorney Knutson indicated there is a provision
whereby quasi judicial matters can be discussed in executive session following a
public hearing. He offered to gather additional information should the Council so
desire.

Mayor Sargent requested a map showing the area to be discussed. Planning Director
Collins displayed a map, and used the overhead projector to clarify the project for
the Council. He explained that the Planning Commission had met last Wednesday,
and its recommendation is consistent with the findings and conclusions contained in
the staff report dated June 29, 1995, which he then distributed to the Council.

LEGISLATION: to Thistle Street... ~; and Finding # 23 should read, 'Right-of-way shall be provided
(Cont'd) along Scribner Road to City standards...~.
Preliminary Subdivision Director Collins also pointed out and explained differences between the Planning
Evergreen Park (Cont'd) Commission and staff recommendations pertinent to Condition #4. The staff report
included improvements on Old Mill Road as well. This was resolved by Condition
19, wherein the Planning Commission asked the applicant to enter into a non-protest
LID agreement.
Further discussion followed with Director Collins offering additional clarification and
requested by the Council. At Councilman Hulett's request, Attorney Knutson
explained how Initiative 164, if passed, would impact certain conditions imposed on
subdivisions. Director Collins also explained how play areas are determined.
Discussion followed regarding the improvement of Old Mill Road, as the Council
was concerned with this Condition. Director Collins suggested that the Council set
a public hearing on this issue if it wished to change conditions which were not part
of the public debate. He reminded the Council that there is a time limitation of 90
days from the date of application, which was in April. Attorney Knutson stated the
90-day limitation could be extended with the consent of the applicant.
Using the overhead projector, Director Collins demonstrated the project site and
clarified where the roads are located and why the condition for improvement of Old
Mill Road had been established. He stated that the basic difference between the
Planning Department and Planning Commission recommendations is the improvement
of Old Mill Road between Rhodes and Scribner.
After further discussion regarding road improvements and LIDs, Councilman Hulett
moved to approve the subdivision, with the wording changes cited by the
Planning Director, subject to Conditions 1 - 23 and citing Findings 1 - 10 and
Conclusions A - E, as set forth in Exhibit "C", which is attached to and becomes
a part of these minutes. Councilman Doyle seconded the motion. After further
discussion, a vote was taken on the motion, which carried by a majority with

Break Mayor Sargent recessed the meeting for a break at 8:40 p.m. The meeting
reconvened at 9:00 p.m.
Contract for Cooling D. Other Considerations
of City Light &
Attorney's Office 1. Authorize Light Director to enter into contract with All Weather for cooling
of City Light & Attorney's office
Mayor Sargent reviewed the information provided by City Light Director Titus, and
at this time, Couneilmember MeKeown indicated she wouldn't be voting on this
issue, as the proposed contract involves her brother.
Councilman Ostrowski moved to authorize the Light Department Director to
execute a contract in the amount of $25,631.00 plus tax, which includes Plan I-
A, l-C, and 1-D of their proposal with Ail Weather Heating and Cooling to
install a cooling system in the upper floor of City Hall. The motion was
seconded by Councilman Braun.
Discussion followed, with Councilman Ostrowski requesting clarification on the
possible conflict of interest cited by Councilwoman McKeown. Attorney Knutson
indicated the conflict of interest issue could apply to immediate family. Although he
had not investigated the details of her potential conflict, he felt it was appropriate for
Councilwoman McKeown to disqualify herself from voting. He explained the
difference between conflict of interest and appearance of fairness and'offered to
further research the matter for the Council.
A vote was taken on the motion, which carried by a majority vote, with
Councilwoman McKeown abstaining.
Public Utility District 2. Report on Public Utility District (PUD) water usage
(PUD) Water Usage
Mayor Sargent asked Public Works Director Pittis to provide a report on PUD's
water utilization, which has been exceeding the contracted amount. Director Pittis,
using an overhead projector, reviewed the water flow to the PUD via City water
facilities. During one day this past week, the PUD used 2.7 million gallons of
water. In addition, two pumps have been working for twenty hours per day and,
should there be a problem with one of the pumps, there would be serious problems
in view of the need for appropriate fire flow. Director Pittis reported a new meter

CITY C~OUNCIL MEETING
July 5, 1995
LEGISLATION: has been installed on the supply line from the City's pipe to the PUD reservoir
(Cont'd) located by Monroe Road, and the City is now able to obtain usage information not
previously av~able. · ii~
Public Utility District ~-
(PUD) Water Usage As a deviation from the memo submitted in the Council packet, Director Pittis
(Cont'd) recommended that the City agree to provide increased water to the PUD for a 60-day
period with no change to the contract language. As part of staff's recommendation,
he cited the other three conditions set forth in the memo, to include: That the PUD
obtain approval from the Director of Public Works or Water Superintendent prior to
exceeding 525 gpm; that by providing additional water to the PUD, City customers'
level of service is not negatively impacted; and that the Mill Creek Pump Station can
maintain the flows necessary to serve the needs of the City and PUD.
Discussion followed, and Director Pittis responded to an inquiry from Councilman
Braun in that the proposed size of the new water reservoir would be 3 - 5 million
gallons. Councilman Braun felt it imperative for the City to be of assistance to the
PUD for this very precious resource.
Councilman Doyle inquired as to the reason for the excess water usage, and Director
Pittis indicated it has been mostly weather related. Manager Pomeranz reiterated the
recommendation that the City provide the additional water for a 60-day period and,
in the meantime, conduct negotiati6ns with the PUD regarding issues such as
infrastructure and quantity. He felt it important to not change the contract, that it
is essential that more time and consideration be given to the matter. Further,
Manager Pomeranz addressed the matter of rates and indicated he was not so
concerned about gaining additional revenue at this time. He expressed the need for
maintaining a good working relationship with the PUD and working toward the
future.
Mayor Sargent felt any cost incurred by the City should be covered, and Director
Pittis explained that the present contract covers the cost of operation and cost of
service. Councilman Schueler expressed the hope that the City will continue to do
whatever possible to assure the provision of services to City residents.
Mike Mclnnes, General Manager of PUD, addressed the Council by emphasizing the
good working relationship between the City and the PUD over the years. He noted
the PUD has helped the City in the past when the City was unable to provide
services within the City limits, and he expressed the hope that this type of
relationship' would continue. Any rate increases charged by the City would be
passed on to PUD customers, and Mr. Mclnnes expressed the hope that the City
would not incorporate a surcharge because of the increased water utilization.
Attorney Knutson offered suggested wording for a motion and, accordingly,
Councilman Braun moved to authorize the Public Works Director to allow the
PUD to exceed the contracted rates and amounts until the end of August, at
which time a contract revision may be brought back to the City Council, and in
the meantime, the Public Works Director's approval of excess water usage would
be consistent with points 1 - 3 in the analysis. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Schueler.
In the ensuing discussion, the question was raised by Councilman Doyle as to
demand placed on City equipment. Manager Pomeranz indicated that, based on the
relationship with the PUD, he would feel comfortable approaching the PUD for
assistance if, for example, a pump were to fail. Mr. Mclnnes, at this point, noted
that not all pumping is related to PUD. Further limited discussion followed, and a
vote was taken on the motion, which carried . ~u.n[u~ l~mously, x.~ ~ .
Big Boy Pond 3. B~rJBoy Pond Wetland Policy Direction'
Wetland Policy
Direction City Manager Pomeranz explained that a large portion of Big Boy Pond is no longer
a wetland, and this will have some implications for development of the area.
Manager Pomeranz wanted the Council to be aware of this because not all the
neighbors will be pleased with development in this area. Before developers and
residents were advised that this area was no longer a wetland, he wanted the Council
to be fully informed of staff's actions.
Planning Director Collins explained that as part of the stormwater management study,
a wetlands inventory was performed. One of the issues has been the wetlands around
Big Boy Pond. He reviewed the history of the changes occurring with the pond and
why they were done. The removal of a wetland designation will mean timber
harvesting will be permitted, and houses can be built. Stormwater issues will be
dealt with as flooding issues instead of wetland issues. Staff recommends that
property owners be notified that this area is no longer designated as a wetland, and

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
July 5, 1995
LEGISLATION: they may proceed with development of their properties.
(Cont'd)
City Manager Pomeranz suggested an ad be placed in the paper notifying the
Big Boy Pond' neighbors of this. wetland change. Mayor Sargent agreed strongly with this
Wetland Policy recommendation, as the Council frequently receives calls from residents who are
Direction (Cont'd) upset because they were not notified of significant changes which impact them and
their property.
Further discussion followed, and Councilman Braun requested that Director Collins
address the issue of water quality in the wetlands. Director Collins explained about
controlling stormwater. Councilman Schueler expressed concern that the Council
was taking action on an issue that was still unclear. He felt that the Council needed
more information, as the delineation report was received today, and the Council did
not have time to ask questions and investigate the issue. He suggested action be
deferred until homework could be done.
Meeting Extended Councilman Braun moved to extend the meeting past 10:00 p.m. Councilman
Past 10:00 p.m. Schueler seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
Councilman Hulett informed the Council that a wetland was def'med by vegetation.
Big Boy Pond no longer fits the definition and hasn't for several years. After further
discussion and clarification, Councilman Schueler felt comfortable with moving ahead
on the issue.
Councilman Schueler moved to place an ad in the paper to notify residents of
the change in wetlands. Councilmember McKeown seconded the motion, which
carried unanimously.
At this time, Director Collins noted that Council had failed to take action on the
Planning Commission minutes. Accordingly, Councilman Braun moved to accept
the Planning Commission minutes of June 14, 1995. Councilman Hulett
seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 10:15 p.m.
