The motion was seconded by Mrs. Campbell; carried unanimously. Mrs. Campbell suggested that the Planning Commission attend a joint meeting with the Council, at which time ideas could be exchanged. Mr. Johnson moved that the meeting be adjourned. The motion was seconded by Mr. Thomas; carried unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 9:40 p.m. Respectfully submitted, The regular meeting of the Medina City Council was called to order by Mayor Arpke at 8:10 p.m. June 16, 1963 at the Medina City Ball. Members present were Messrs: Arpke, Bronson, DeFriel, Frost and Mme. Campbell. It was moved by Mr. Bronson that the reading of the minutes be waived and that thet be accepted as presented in draft. The motion was seconded by Mr. Frost; carried unanimously. Mr. Biglow, Chairman of the Planning Commission then reported to the Council that the planning Commission recommends that the Council take no action at this time to rezone property on Overlake Drive from R-30 to R-20 as petitioned by Dr. John 0. Milligan. Rather, the Commission felt that a revision of Ordinance No. 52 (Platting) would better serve the problem of sub -dividing large tracts. Ile presented the Council with the formal recommendation, as prepared by the Commission, which, in summary, recommends that the ordinance be amended to permit R-30 zoned property to subdivide into lots averaging 30,000 square feet, no single lot to have less than 20,000 square feet, and such division to be contingent upon the total area to be subdivided being platted prior to the issuance of a building permit on the first lot subdivided. It was moved by Mrs. Campbell that the Council hold a public hearing at its next regular meeting, July 8, 1963, such hearing to concern the matter of amending Section 6 of Ordinance No. 52. The motion was seconded by Mr. DeFriel; carried unanimously. It was moved by Mr. Bronson that the Council adopt Ordinance No. 145, amending and appealing portions of Ordinance No. 8, which would permit the Planning Commission lacking a quorum, to adjourn any regular or duly called meeting to a later date, not later than t:he next regular meeting of the Commission. The motion was seconded by Mr. DeFriel; carried unanimously. The City Manager then read a letter from Dr. E.A. Addington, 3326 - 78th Place N.E., in which be requested the dissolution of the Sand Point Naval Air Station, stating the noise from the Naval Station was objectionable and conducive to lowering the values of homes in Medina. Dr. Addington was not present at the meeting. Mr. Vanderwalker of the Sand Point Naval Air Station explained to the Council the flight patterns and regulations governing all aircraft using the station, and assured the Council that these regulations are very strictly enforced. Anyone feeling this is not so should report the time of any flight believed to be too low, or breaking regulations, and the matter will be investigated. The matter of Dr. Addington's complaint was then tabled. I^ The Council then considered the petition of the Medina Land Company for vacation 1 of a small portion of N.E. 22nd Street (Madrona Street) lying east of 79th Ave N.E. Mr. Bronson moved that the City of Medina vacate this portion in favor of the Medina Land Company. The motion was seconded by Mr. Frost. Those voting "aye" were Messrs: Arpke, Bronson, DeFriel and Frost. Mrs. Campbell voted "nay". Motion carried by a majority. Mr. Frost then reported on behalf of the special sewer committee, informing the Council that satisfactory progress was being made by non -connected residents. Mr. & Mrs. James Barbee, 2891 Evergreen Point Road, Mr. Schuler, 3100 Evergreen Point- Road, and Mr. Schuler speaking for Oliver Elliott of 2879 Evergreen Point Road, appeared to request the Councili.for more time to negotiate easements or arrangements with the Sewer District before making their sewer connections. Considerable discussion followed, after which the Council conceded that these people could have until the next regular Council meeting (July 8) to present to the Council a definite plan arranged between them for the connection to the public sewer.. The matter was formally tabled until the next regular meeting. Mrs. Campbell moved that the Claim Roster be accepted as presented - Current EXpense vouchers #2448 to 2450 and 2551 through 2575, and Street vouchers # 743 through #751 be accepted. The motion was seconded by Mr. DeFriel; carried unanimously. It was moved by Mr. Bronson that the city accept the low bid of the Acme Paving Company, in the amount of $6,835.00 for the reconstruction of a portion of N.E. 16th Street. The motion was seconded by Mr. DeFriel; carried unanimously. Two bids were submitted, the high from Doolittle Construction in the amount of $8,570.00. The City Manager informed the Council that he had a signed agreement with the Overlake Golf and Country Club, in which the Club has agreed to pay half the cost of the bid. i.e. $3,417.50. It was moved by Mr. Bronson that the City accept an agreement with the State Highway Commission for the maintenance of the east approach to Evergreen Point Bridge. The motion was seconded by Mr. DeFriel; carried unanimously. It was moved by Mr. DeFriel that the City adopt Resolution No. 51, approving a plan for ,additions and betterments to the plan for a system of sewers in the Bellevue Sewer District. The motion was seconded by Mr. Bronson; carried unanimously. The Mayor made an announcement of a Civil Defense Advisory Council meeting, 3:00 p.m., June 11, in the County Commissioners Assembly Room, 402 King County Court House. He was of the opinion that a representative of the City should attend this meeting. The City Manager informed the Council that he would be attending the Convention of the Association of Washington Cities in Longview, June 12-14. Mr. :Bronson moved that the meeting be adjourned. The motion was seconded by Mr. DeFriel; carried unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 11 p.m. Respectfully submitted, The regular meeting of the Medina City Council was called to order by Mayor pro-tem Thomas at 8:00 p.m. at the Medina City Hall on July 8, 1963. Members present were Messrs: Bronson, DeFriel, Frost, Johnson, Thomas and Mme. Campbell. It was moved by Mr. Bronson and seconded by Mr. Frost that the reading of the June 10 minutes be waived and that they be accepted as presented in draft. The motion was carried unanimously. Mayor pro-tem Thomas then declared the meeting a public hearing on a proposed amendment to Ordinance No. 52 (Platting). The City Attorney reviewed each paragraph of the p 1posed amendment with the Council. Lucius Biglow, Chairman of the Planning Commission, presented the recpmmendation of the Commission. (See Reports of Medina Planning Commission dated May 28, 1963 and June 10, 1963). Dr. John O. Milligan stated that the proposed amendment did not agree with the petition to rezone signed by residents of Overlake Drive West. Ile stated that the original petition, as signed by 97% of the land owners, requested the City to rezone land on Overlake Drive, between 76th abd 81st, into 30,000 square feet lots on the waterfront and all other lots to be reduced to 20,000 square: feet. GIn Reasons for this appeal were generally (a) Land values are too high for large estates to remain in existence (b) The present tax structure on property and income makes it impossible to retain large tracts (c) Maintenance costs are prohibitive, even if one is able to obtain or locate gardeners (d) Raising live- stock is not permitted and undeveloped, run-down property is not desirable. Mr. R. Zener felt the City should not change the 30,000 square feet requirement on the waterfront, whatever their decision. Mr. Fred Daly expressed his opinion that estates are no longer popular. Mr. R. Carter felt the proposed rezoning would not actually result in more homes, but would only alter the location of the homes. Mr. Bronson moved that the public hearing over rezoning be tabled until the next regular meeting of the Council and that the Planning Commission continue, to study the problem and present the Council with any additional recommendations. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Campbell; carried unanimously. i Mr. & Mrs. R. Barbee, Oliver Elliott, with both these parties speaking for Mr. Schuler, appeared at the meeting to report their progress in making connections to the public sewer system. They declared that they were negotiating with one another for the necessary easements to install one line to serve each of their properties. Mr. Barbee stated that within two weeks the bank on his propertywould be bulldozed in preparation for a road bed, under which theyp�anned to run the sewer line. Allowing six months for the completion of easements and a year for soil settling, he requested the Council for additional time to complete the project, Mrs. Campbell moved that Mr. Ba rbee, Mr. Elliott and Mr. Schuler be given until January, 1964 to present their written or recorded easements to the Council, and to complete the sewer connection by July, 1964. The motion was seconded by Mr. DeFriel; carried unanimously. The City Manager then spoke with the Council of the acquisition of park lands in the area south of St. Thomas Church. The area is designated as park pared on the City's Comprehensive Plan. Discussion followed as to costs involved and the need of more park lands, Mr. Johnson expresses his objection to the acquisition of this land. Mrs. Campbell moved that the Council authorize the City Manager to negotiate with the affected property owners for options to purchase the land and to expend $300 for this purpose. The motion was seconded by Mr. DeFriel. Those voting in favor were Messrs: DeFriel, Frost and Mme. Campbell. Those voting "nay" were Messrs: Johnson and Bronson; motion carried by a majority. City Attorney Chadwick then informed the Council of the notification by the City of Bellevue that it intends to acquire the assets and liabilities of Water Dst # 6b. ; Mr. DeFriel moved that the Council. accept the Claim Roster as presented - Current Expense vouchers #2451 through 2486 and Street vouchers #752 through 755. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Campbell; carried unanimously. Mr. Bronson moved that the City adopt Ordinance No. 147 vacating 20 feet of N.E. 22nd Street between 79th Avenue N.E. and the cul-de-sac. The motion was seconded by Mr. Frost. Those voting "aye" were Messrs: Bronson, DeFriel, Frost and Johnson. Mrs. Campbell voted "nay". Motion carried by a majority. Mr. DeFriel moved that the Council adopt Resolution No. 52, accepting the Street Lighting Contract renewal with Puget Sound Power & Light Company. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Campbell; carried unanimously. Mr. Johnson moved that the meeting be adjourned. The motion was sec onded by Mr. Bronson; carried unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 12:30 a.m. Respectfully submitted, i Clerk Mayor 5 The regular meeting of the Medina City Council was called to order by Mayor Arpke at 8:00 pm. at the Medina City '{all on August 12, 1963. Members present were Messrs: Arpke, Bronson, DeFriel, Frost, Johnson, Thomas and Mme. Campbell. It was moved by Mr. Thomas and seconded by Mr. Frost that the reading of the July 8, 1963 minutes be waived and that they be accepted as presented in draft. The motion carried unanimously. Mayor Arpke announced that Mr. Zener's term on the Planning Commission had expired, and that Mr. Zener did not desire to assume another term. Ile thanked Mr. Zener for his diligent service on the Commission. The M-.yor announced that, after considering several citizens, he now wished to appoint Mr. Franc: E. Everett, Jr. to fill this vacancy. It was moved bt Mr. DeFriel that the Council confirm the `.Mayor's appointment of Frank E. Everett, Jr. to the Planning Comrission. The motion was seconded by Mr. Thomas; carried unanimously. The Mayor stated that as these vacancies arose, he would welcome suggestions from the Council for replacements. Discussion then followed on a uniform boating law. Officer Perry stated that the Uniform Boating Law, as adopted by the State, is very similar to the boating laws of the City of Medina. The State law is enforced by local authorities, and the County will assist if it notes a violator. Mr. Thomas elucidated on a meeting he attended at the office of. the County Sheriff, attended by representatives from Cities and Towns in the Lake 17ashington area. At this meeting it was explained that cities and towns could adopt the City of Seattle's boating ordinance, and contract with the Sheriff's office to police all waters. however, no actual contract was concluded at this meeting, and participation in such a contract would necessitate appropriating money in the budget to compensate the sheriff's office for this service. It was suggested that the first step would likely be. to adopt a uniform boating code. The City Manager was directed to obtain full information of the state laws for the next Council meeting. The City Manager informed the C until of his pregress in. the negotiations over the Vd inot property, stating the owner would not grant an option., preferring a 15 year (or less) sales contract of $55,000 with 54% on the unpaid balance. lie stated that if the: City signed an agreement with the Puget Sound Governmental Conference agreeing to maintain open space, the City may qualify for a 30% Federal grant. This agreement is a device to qualify for 307 rather than 20% participation by indicating that the City is cooperating with other local governments in preserving open -space lands. It was his suggestion that the City not sign the Voinot contract until such time as it received confirmation of the 307. participation monies,lest it jeopardize this app✓ortunity. The Voinot property totals over 11 acres. The Council may put before the people a bond issue to purchase the Voinot property and possible additional lands. Mr. Johnson stated that he is strongly opposed to the use of Federal money in. this purchase, on the basis that requesting such monies only tends to increase taxes throughout the entire nation. The signing, of this agreement with the Puget Sound =overnmental Conference does not commit the City to such actual participation, but most certainly provides the vehicle to do so, and therefore, he objects to signing the agreement. I'_e also felt that property is too expensive, and to make it usable would require a great deal of additional expense. With two school grounds and two parks in the City now, he felt that the City should not even take the Voinot property as a gift. Mr. Bronson agreed that it seemed quite expensive, and feels that the total price of all the undeveloped property intie area would total $100,000. Ile felt that the people should vote on the matter. Mr. Arpke felt that C.O. bonds would be the cheapest method of acquisition. Mr. Frost concurred with Mr. Johnson and Mr. Bronson that the land seemed too expensive, and that it should be the people's choice, but that he has heard favorable comments for its acquisition. Mrs. Campbell, felt it was not only a matter for a vote of the people but also a matter of sensible looking ahead. It is not worthless land, but certainly usable park lands, and is even on the Comprehensive Plan as such. The City will need more park lands as a buffer to the new bridge traffic, and she is in favor of continued „round work toward the purchase of this property. Mr. DeFriel felt open space is always advisable, although the ultimate cost is a primary consideration. The City Manager suggested the land be purchased and left undeveloped for a time - 50 years if necessary. Also, there is no guarantee that the privately owned golf course will remain and the City in the future could well utilize any park lands it now obtains. Mr. Arpke explained that lie has lone been interested in and is committed to the principle of open space. Park land is the thing about the numerous large American cities he has visited, which mal-es those cities desirable places in which to live, I.owever, he feels that this is a situation where the people should be the ones to decide.. Mr. Thomas reminded the Council that over a year ago, the .Tanning Commission advised the Council to acquire this land, alt'noug'n no price was set at the time. 1, Mr. Zener, speakin-; as a past member of the Planning Commission, stated that the price of the land would rise in future years and that the Commission once had a plan for the property's development. It was moved by Mr. Thomas that the Park Board and the Planning Commission make a presentation to the Council on the whole parcel of land (not restricted to the Voinot property), and that a Town heetinS he held early in October on the matter of acquiring these park lands. The motion was seconded by "ors. Campbell; carried unanimously. Discussion followed pertaining to signing the Puget Sound Governmental Conference agreement. Mr. Arpke felt that the agreement should be signed in order to support the Conference in its regional studies. Mr. Johnson again expressed his reluctance for this agreement, adding that it was his belief the he, nor any other member of the Council actually knew enough about this Conference to be signing any areement with them. Mr. Thomas made the suggestion that a representative from this Conference attend the September meeting, at which time the Council would become better acquainted with its functions and have the opportunity to have any questions answered. The City Manager reviewed the Milligan petition with the Council, and the consequent recommendations from the Planning Commission. It was moved by Mr. Bronson that the City accept the recommendation of the Planning Commission to deny the Milligan petition. The motion was seconded by IT. DeFriei; carried unanimously. Mr. Bronson moved that the City Manager be instructed to prepare an ordinance to change R-30 to R-20 fro property fronting on Overlake Drive, between Evergreen Point Road and 84th Avenue N.E.. There was no second for the motion. Mr. Frost felt that this would be no benefit, and desired to leave thinSs as they are. Mrs. Campbell desired a public: hearing, where the Council may learn if this is desirable or satisfactory to the people. It was moved by Mr. Johnson that a public hearing be held at the next regular meeting to consider the recommendations of the Planning, Commission to rezone land on Overlake Drive between Evergreen Point Load and 84th Avenue N.E. and to rezone land on Evergreen Point Road between Lake Washington and lake Crest Park (R-30 to R-20 ). The motion was seconded by fr. DeFriel; carried unanimously. The Council then considered the resubmission by the Medina Land Company of their petition to have the City vacate a portion of Ni E. 22nd Street. The original petition requested a vacation of 30 feet of this street. The Council, on June 10, voted to vacate 20 feet of this street in favor of the Medina Land Company. The Medina Land Company, represented by its attorney, explained that the City will not benefit from this 10 foot strip of land, whereas the Medina Land Company will, inasmuch as it is needed to prevent thanking its subdivision property lines. The City ;Tanager explained that vacating another 10 feet would leave a right-of-way of only 30 feet - which is less than the City's minimum standards. At some future date it may be necessary to disrupt utilities, which could feasibly lie underneath the sidewalks, the road or both. It was moved by Mrs. Campbell that this petition be .tabled until the next regular meetin3. The motion was seconded by Mr. Thomas; carried unanimously. Mrs. Campbell requested that the City Manager, at the next meeting, be able to illustrate the location of the existing pavement on the right- of-way on N.E. 22nd Street, The City Manager then read a letter. from A.V. T arr.is and Dr. J.L. Penderson of Evergreen Point Road, in which these parties requested the Council to amend Ordinance No. 64 in such a way as to permit the division of their properties into additional building sites. Messrs: Harris and Henderson were present to discuss the problem. Mr. Thomas moved that this situation be referred to the Planning Commission for its consideration a: its next regular meeting. The motion was seconded by „r. Johnson; carried unanimously. The Mayor observed that many cases appear before the Council following a denial of variance from the Board of Adjustment. le felt that taking care of these situations was the function of the Board, but evidently the functions of the Board must be reviewed. The City Manager su,ogested that the Mayor, The Chairman of the Plannin_; Commission, the Chairman of the Board of Adjustment and the City Attorney, meet to I consider the purposes of. the Board. The Council favored this suggestions. i It was moved by Mrs. Campbell and seconded by Yr. . K riel that the Claim Roster be accepted as presented o Current Expense vouchers #340 through #2517 and Street vouchers #759 through 0768. The motion was carried unanimously. 7 A proposed ordinance was then discussed, in which lots held in single ownership prior to the adoption of the City's zoning requirements would qualify as building sites, providing the frontage contained S51 of the present required frontage. Discussion disclosed that there are: a number of lots in N;edina, qualifying in all respects except the frontage. It was agreed that this matter be tabled until the next regular meeting - the meeting to be declared a public hearing; regarding lot sizes and frontage. The City Manager was directed to prepare an alternate ordinance eliminating the 85% wording. Another proposed ordinance was then discussed, in which it required that land susceptible of division into five or more building sites be platted before any'_ division of said property and that parcels divided into less than 11 building sites be permitted to plat with 32 feet right-of-way rather than the present required 50 feet. The Planning Commission, at its last regular meeting, felt it desired more study on the matter and consultation with other cities and towns to determine if a more economical solution is being employed. It was moved by Mr. Johnson that this ,natter be tabled until the October meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Thomas; carried unanimously. The Police Report was discussed. It was moved by Mr. Johnson that the meeting; be adjourned. The motion was seconded by Nr. Thomas; carried unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 10:45 p.m. Respectfully submitted, i City C1 Mayor - The regular meetingof the :�edina City Council was called to order kayor Arpke in the Nedinz City call on September 9, 1963. Members present were. Messrs: Arpke, Pronson, De7riel, Frost, Johnson and Thomas. It was moved by Mr. Bronson Oat the minutes of the August 12, 1963 meeting be accepted as presented in draft. The motion was seconded by Yr. Johnson; carried unanimously. Mr. John N. Porter, Director of the Puget Sound "overnmental Conference described the functions of the Conference. c said that the Conference is a cooperative research agency of Kin,, 'itsap, Pierce and Snohomish Counties and the Cities of Eremerton, Lvere:ttm Seattle and Tacoma. It encompasses an area of 6300 square miles containing 11 million people. By 19:75 the population in this given area is expected to be 3 million. The Conference is financed by the four cities and four counties, percentage based on population, with, of course, ling County paying the most. The current budget is $71,000. There is no expense attached to en'•=erin; into the agreement. "Edmonds, Port Ore Card and Sumner are presently entering into the a reement. The Conference is developer; a basic: comprehensive plan for: a) Land Use, b) "Transportation and c) Open Land. Py mid- 1964 its studies will be completed. A memorandum of agreement relating to the preservat- ion of open -space has been developed for ;government participants, which results in the participant qualifying for Federal grants. The a3reement states that the governmental body, or bodies, will abide by the „eneral plan and policies of the Conference. Lucius Biglow Jr.., Chairman of the Planning Commission then spoke to the Council pertaining to studies made by the Commission regarding the purchase of more park lands. ne reminded the Council that in 1957 the Commission studied park locations. It was then concluded that there should be a part: on the Shannon property (now Fairweather Park) and the Voinot property. After many public bearings, the people voted and approved it as a part of the Comprehensive Plan. The Commission feeld that the matter has already been put before the people, and the wishes of the community are expressed in the present records. ke said that in looking at the history of the City of Seattle, one realizes it takes foresight and vision to prepare parks for the future. The Lake Washington frontage in Seattle would be densley populated, had not Seattle set aside certain lands for future parks - many years before they were actually developed. The area is develop- ing rapidly and projections show that the population will increase rapidly. Medina consists of 1,06E acres, or IN square miles. Park standards usually are 101 for parks, civic: centers etc. Schools in Medina cover 20 acres and parks, 11 acres. Cther planners believe a 'some should be no further than mils from any neighborhood park, or 1 mile from a community park. Research by the Bellevue Plannin3 Commission stows a recommendation of I acre for every 50 people, which would amount to 24 acres. In England, the ratio is 1 acre for every 25 people, which would amount to Q acres. 'e said the Commission is thinking of Yedina's development of 15-20 ;years from now. Full development of t:.e park land could wait that long,;, but the land s'rnould be acquired now, while it is still undeveloped and consequently less expensive than purchasing a developed area. L' i' ichard `'ars'i all, Chairman U t_'ePar" ?car!, expressed the views of the roard. In brief, the Board is in favor of the purchase of this land. "i'i.e location of the Voinot property is excellent. It could remain in its present condition until further money is available for the development of tie property. As a park, it would be a valuable asset to the City. The Fcerd favors tine acquisition of tho entire It acres at a price of approzimately `r100,000. It .;as moved by ir. Thomas that the Council, after appraisals of the property, have the matter of purchasing 11-li acres placed on the March ballot as a bond issue. The motion was seconded by Yr. DeFriel; carried unanimously. Yr. Thomas moved that the Council authorize the City bana3er to expend monies from the Cumulative Reserve Fund No. I (Parks) for appraisals of the proposed park lands in order to ascertain purchase figures. The motion was seconded by ..r. Je riel; carried unanimously. Koyor Arpke read a letter from citizen Ji.m aeynolds, in whicl he expressed a Lope that the City, if acquiring new park lands, would consider his sul estion to build tennis courts in a City park. It was moved by Mr. Johnson that: the City not ;participate in the Pu;et :Sound Vovern- mental Conference Open Space Agreement, if ob-tainW3 _ederal money is the intent of the City's participation. The motion failed for lack o: a second. It was moved by is. !Lomas that Resolution No. 53 be adopted which states Oat the City participates in the PuSet Sound Cpen Space A reement. The motion was seconded 'y Lr. DeFriel. T4ose votin "Aye" were Eessrs: Bronson, DeFriel, Frost and TI)omas. [:r. Johnson voted ":'ay".

Tie City iana3er fully explained all boundary lines concerned. The Medina hand. Company was _represented by Yr. Paul Steer and 6r. '_tolt. The petition created muck discussion. As. Eronson moved tkat the City vacate the 10 feet petitioned for in favor of the Fedina Land Company. 1'l.e motion was seconded by Yr. DeFriel; Council members votin3 "Aye" were Messrs: Bronson, DeFriel, and Zrost. Toose voting "Nay" were essrs: Johnson and _'Lomas. Lotion carried by a majority. The Public 7earin3 was continued to discuss the proposal of rezoning from R-30 to R-20 property frontiv3 on Cverlake :give between Evergreen Point ;oad and 52nd Avenue N.E. and property froutial on Ever3reen Point Road between the City all and Lake Crest Park. Mr. Bi.31ow, Chairman of the Planning Commission, reviewed with the Council the earlier recommendation of the Plannin;; Commission favorin,; this change. Citizens Robert Carter and W.C. `Ihipple, residents of tLe aforementioned area alon3 Evergreen Point Road, spoke as favoring this change. No citizen appeared to protest. It was moved by Yr. Thomas that the City accept this rezoning recommendation and that an ordinance be prepared to tLat effect. The motion was seconded by `•'.r. Frost; carried unanimously. A proposed amendment to Ordinance io. :54, dealinj wit': zoning exceptions of. properties :geld in single ownership was discussed.

The term to be from June 1964 to June 1967. Mayor Thomas thanked Mr.. Arpke for his past service as Mayor, expressing the hope that the City would later present him with a gavel. Engineer Glenn Sparrow then discussed with the Council the specifications for the improvement of N.E. 24th Street, Ile explained that a sidewalk, separated from the driving surface by an extruded concrete curbing, would be established on the north side of th6 street. The walk will be gravelled. If the overall cost proves low enough, concrete could be considered for surfacing the walk. The curbing itself is 80q per ft. and asphalt would be 25q per ft., so the overall extra is not too great. Probably about $1,200, making the project well under the $60,000 budgeted. Ile explained to Councilman DeFriel that the engineers felt there is no need for concrete aprons at the intersections. Mr. Sparrow will advertise for bids in the Daily Journal of Commerce, with bids to be opened in the City ball on June 2, at: 2 P.M. This will give the Council time to peruse the bids and to make the award at the June 8 council meeting. It was moved by Mr. Arpke that the specifications be accepted as presented by Mr. Sparrow. The motion was seconded by Mr. Bronson; carried unanimously. The petition for rezoning to business, of Al Yabuki, et all, then came under discussiot The Council felt it could not trecommend an ordinance until further studies have been made, outlining regulations for business properties. If professional, individual help is too expensive, such assistance is readily given by the Association of tashington Cities, the Bureau of "overnmental Research, City Planners, etc. Attorneys Lirhus and Ehrlichman were present, also Al Yabuki and Mr. Tinney. John 'Ehrlichman urged the Council to pass an ordinance, by which developers could be guided in preparing a proposed center. Ile reminded the Council that these petitions have been before it since November, 1961, with approximately 15 meetings held in connection with the petitions. Ile said that the recommendations, as presented by the Planning Commission, are stereotyped recommendations and too general. Mr. Lirhus and Mr. Ehrlichman expressed the wish that the Planning Commission would consider more explicit regulations at its next: regular meeting. It was moved by Mr. Bronson that the City Attorney draw up a set of regulations which could be applicable to a business zoned area, should the Council decide to create a business zone. The motion was seconded by Mr. DeFriel; carried unanimously. Mr. Wilson of Shell Oil Company, representing petitioner John L. Paulsen, asked for the floor. He expressed regret that lie had not been invited to the Planning Commissions meetings when the Detels-Everett report was discussed and accepted. Ile felt the Paulsen petition had been round -filed. Shell Oil have spent many hundreds of dollars in preparing a planned development for the Paulsen property, in which, he said, nobody seems interested in viewing. Ile felt that the Paulsen property was more suitable for a convenience center, both as to size and accessibility. Pe urged that any future meetings, reports or plans include the Paulsen property, and that the:.:Paul.sen petition be given equal consideration. The Harris - Dr. 1'enderson petition was discussed, with the Council considering the report of Mr. helms, committee of one, as adopted by the Planning Commission. Mr. DeFriel expressed disagreement with the report. He felt that access by road is not mandatory to the waterfront lots, since many already are restricted to elevator access. Ile felt that restricting the division of these properties was a penalpy - making the owners' minimum lot size approximately 391,000 sq. ft. Ile suggested that such topographical lots be permitted to divide, if the smaller of the two did not IEI go below the nex'_. That is, that in the 30,000 zone, no divided lot be smaller than 20,000 sq. ft. and in the P-20 zone, no divided lot be smaller than 16,000 sq. ft. The height and spread of the embankment would have to be well established, otherwise flat lots would seek to divide into reduced lot sizes. It was moved by Mr. DeFriel that the Planning Commission further study the Harris - Dr. Henderson petition, with a view to establishing the variations permitted, stipulating these variations and stipulating standards by which lots would qualify under the topographical clause. The motion was seconded by Mr. Frost; carried unanimously. It was moved by Mr. DeFriel that the Claim Roster be accepted as presented, Current Expense proposed warrants #2768 through @27€8 and Street proposed warrants #831 through #835. The motion was seconded by Mr. Bronson; carried unanimously. �l The City Attorney informed the Council that the Planning Commission had not yet provided him with the wording required in preparing an ordinance to permit modifications of platting not concisely worded in Ordinance CTo. 155. The City Attorney stated there was no urgency in preparing an ordinance requiring properties subdividing to provide access to utilities for all. divided lots. The Planning Commission, at its next regular meeting, will hold a public hearing on the City's proposed integrated Comprehensive Plan. Following its meeting, the City Manager will hive notice to Council to have a Public Hearing on the Plan. Mr. DeFriel asked if speed limits for boats could be posted on the bridge supports. ;'ater traffic under the bridge is too speedy. It was noted by the Attorney that our ordinance stipulates a speed limit of 7 nautical mph from a distance of 200 feet to the shore. The bridge supports fall within this distancem but the Highway Department must be consulted before posting anything on the bridge structure. Mr. Stevenson enquired about an anti -litter law, prohibiting the throwing; of litter into the lake. He also enquired about a law restricting the use of "heads" on pleasure craft until they are a certain distance from shore. Mr. Arpke queried if the City should post a "City Hall" sign on the west side of the City Ball to inform passing boaters.

There was even one year that Bellevue paid nothing. He pointed out that King County Fire District #14 was in the fire protection business only, and could provide fire protection service only.

Griffiths was present in the audience and explained to the council his reasons for opposing the existing ordinance in Superior Court, in order to construct a 6 foot fence atop a 6 foot retaining wall. Both Mr. Arpke and Mme. Campbell felt that retaining walls and fences were, in fact, two such entirely different structures, generally built for unlike reasons, that no ordinance could speak of the two, nor control the two in a fair manner, by regulating both under similar regulations. Very high retaining walls may some day be necessary for certain waterfront bank properties, where a six foot retaining wall would be totally inadequate. It was moved by Mr. Arpke that the subject be returned to the Planning Commission for further study. The motion was seconded by Mme. Campbell; carried unanimously. The Mayor declared the Public Hearing closed. Claims for damages received from Mrs. Dagley and Mr. Oscar were then read.

Mayor Thomas read a letter of similar protest that he had written to the trucking association. Mr. Barber, present in the audience, relayed the views of accoustical engineers employed at Boeings, that solid concrete or earth would be the only barrier capable of reflecting the noise from the Elliott residence.

Luis were present in the audience to express their dissent with the proposed plans of the sidewalk on Evergreen Point Road. Mr. Bruce Kenyon, assisted by his attorney, presented an alternate proposal to locate the sidewalk along the edge of the asphalt. Mr. Luis spoke with reference to his row of locust trees.

The City Manager read a petition from Colorcable, Inc. requesting a franchise for the installation and maintenance of T.V. cables within the city.

T'ne Council read again the :recommendations of the Planning Commission in the proposed creation of this Land Use District. The Council stated it would study these recommendations and discuss the matter again at its next regular meeting. The Mayor reported that; a :meeting was held by the Committee studying noise control.

The work has been progressing favorable and is near completion. He hoped to have the design affirmed for sidewalk construction adjacent to the Park, Luis, Kenyon, Brenner, Nelson and Beck properties so that bids may be awarded at the April meeting. The City Manager stated that the assistant director of the arboretum had.stated that the trees could be saved, whatever the location of the sidewalk. It was decided that Councilmen would meet at the City Hall at 4:30 P.M. Wednesday, March 16, to discuss the :location of this sidewalk section, so that it may be included in the bid specifications. The City Manager discussed the improvement of N.E. 12 th Street. The storem drainage is now completed. He reported that it was the opinion of the engineers and himself that the street might aptly be curved, in the vicinity of the Golf Course, offset from the bank a maximum of 6 feet, thus saving additional cuts and preserving the greenery on the bank. Offsetting the street to a more southerly location would necessitate soft fill, which would improve if permitted to settle another year.

It was determined that no building permit would be issued until the street vacation is finalized, and if an easement be required, until said easement is recorded. An alternate of seeking a variance from set -back regulations may also be considered. The matter was continued to the August 21 meeting, to provide time to have an opinion from the City Attorney. Mayor Thomas declared the Public Hearing closed. The City Manager reported on hopes and plans to improve 84th Avenue N.E. Legislative action of the State in the 1967 session now permits the State to participate 900% in the construction of urbal arterial streets. The Manager stated he desired to have $20,000 appropriated and approved in the forthcoming 1968 Budget, to bear the City's share of 10%, should an application for participating funds be approved. Considerable discussion followed. Mrs. Campbell stated she would not be in favor of an application specifying a 4 lane road, and felt that avid pursuance of approval for a 2 lane road may result in some type of compromise from the State. Mr. Arpke felt the road should be improved, for safety, and slightly widened, but not necessarily rebuilt to additional lane standards. It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that the Council express approval of the $20,000 amount in preparing the 1968 Budget, thus allowing the Manager to negotiate. If negotiations fail and the project is abandoned, the monies could be allocated to any one of many maintenance and repair projects throughout the City. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Campbell; carried unanimously. Discussion of the City's policy in forthcoming underground utility improvements took place. It is anticipated some districts may provide this improvement on the LID basis, inasmuch as 100% voluntary participation is difficult to obtain. It was moved by Mr. Arpke that, where a district has been formed and a party has become a contributor to that district, the same party will not again be included for assessment in another district, formed at a later date for some nearby area. The motion was seconded by Mr. Stevenson; carried unanimously. Mayor Thomas read a letter from the Bellevue City Manager, L. Joe Miller, which noted that the fire grading for Medina had dropped from 6 to 4. The City Manager was directed to obtain a summary of fire gradings and ratings for the next regular meeting. Mr. Stevenson talked of the approximate $12,000 in the Cumulative Reserve Fund #1 (Fire). Inasmuch as it would appear that the City no longer plans to construct a fire station, he felt the money should be transferred from the fund and allocated to more immediate needs, such as the street fund, or purchase of a police boat etc. The City Manager was directed to determine if such Cumulative Fund could be transferred with- out it being done by a vote of the people. Should a vote be required, intention of the issue must be filed with the County Auditor at least 45 days prior to the election date of November 7, 1967. Dogs in the City Hall Park came under discussion. It was recommended that the prohibiting of dogs on the beach be more fully publicized, such as in the Bellevue American and in a newsletter. It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that the meeting be continued to 8 P.M. August 21, 1967 at the Medina City Hall. The motion was seconded by Mr. DeFriel; carried unanimously. The meeting disbursed at 10:30 P.M. Respectfully submitted, City CJerk Mayor The meeting of August 14, 1967, continued to August 21, was called to order by Mayor Thomas at 8 P.M. at the Medina City Hall. Councilmen present were Messrs: Arpke, Frost, Stevenson, Thomas and Mrs. Campbell. Councilmen absent were Messrs: Bronson and DeFriel. The application of R. Matheson to vacate a portion of 88th Avenue N.E. was considered. It was moved by Mr. Arpke that the Council adopt Ordinance #219 vacating a portion of 88th Avenue N.E. (otherwise known as Harmon Avenue). The motion was seconded by Mr. Stevenson; carried unanimously. Bids on LID #2 were then discussed. The City Attorney stated the contract could be awarded in stages, only if each phase awarded separately were under $5,000. The City —. Manager was directed to call for bids again, to be opened on September 8. In the interest of getting an early start during good weather, the grading may be awarded and started immediately, if the engineer deemed it advisable. It was noted that September 5 is the date the Council must receive the preliminary budget. Councilmen Arpke, Campbell and Stevenson stated they would be out of town at that time. It was decided the budget could be drafted in sufficient time to be presented on August 29th. Upon motion duly made and seconded, August 29th at 8 P.M.. was established as the date the Council would meet to discuss the preliminary budget. It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that the meeting adjourn. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Campbell; carried unanimously. The meeting adjourned ai 8:40 P.M. Respectfully submitted, ;! City Clerk Mayor 6 .1 The regular meeting of the Medina City Council was called to order by Mayor Thomas at 8 P.M. September 11, 1967 at the Medina City Hall. Councilmen present were Messrs: Bronson, DeFriel, Frost, Stevenson and Thomas. Councilmen Arpke and Campbell were absent. It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that the minutes of the August 11 meeting, continued to August 21, be accepted as presented in draft. The motion was seconded by Mr. Bronson; carried unanimously. Engineer G.T. Sparrow reported to the council on the procedure for making application for Urban Arterial Funds for the improvement of 84th Avenue N.E. Applications must be submitted by September 16th to be considered in the last quarter of 1967- Many priority applications are being submitted for this quarter. He stated that several conversations with members of the Board indicated that an application for funds to improve a 2 lane road would receive negative response inasmuch as monies are allocated on a traffic projection to 1985 volume. Two weeks ago a count on 84th indicated 8000 cars per day along 84th, 25% of which entered Medina and Clyde Hill. He indicated Clyde Hill intended to budget for participation in this application and that it would be sub- mitted as a joint application - together with the signature of the Bellevue mayor. Discussion followed as to a traffic light at 84th and 24th and cross -access for school children. Mr. Sparrow said the application would include all activity accomodations such as the aforementioned. It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that the engineer be: directed to submit to the Urban Arterial Board a joint application with Clyde Hill for the improvement of 84th Avenue N.E. to 4 lane width, with signal and cross -walk facilities. The motion was seconded by Mr. Frost; carried unanimously. It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that the Claim Roster be accepted as presented - proposed Current Expense warrants #4627 through #4669 and proposed Street Warrants #1540 through #1550. The motion was seconded by Mr. Frost; carried unanimously. The City Manager presented the preliminary 1968 Budget for discussion. All revenues and expenditures were considered. Mr. Pearson stated he hoped for a recommendation from the Planning Commission to have the City Hall site designated as the Civic Center, thereby releasing funds from the Cumulative Reserve Fund #1, for the improvement of the City Hall. It was noted that October 2 is the date of Public Hearing on the adoption of the final 1968 Budget. Results of the bid call, as repeated, for LID #2 were as follows: Bellevue Bulldozing $26,747.00 Doolittle Construction 275903.00 still some 10% in excess of the engineer's estimate. Engineer Sparrow suggested two alternatives: to readvertise in December - such delay may provide adequate time for the installation of side and main sewer lines not yet laid: or, to submit a letter to all ptoperty owners within the district, noting the 10% increase created by the bids, and asking that these owners make the decision to proceed at the higher cost, or to postpone the work to a later recall of bids. Mr. Overholt of 2426 - 79th N.E. was present in the audience. As a resident of the proposed district, he urged immediate action, before interest in the matter lagged. The City Manager was directed to mail a rluestionaire to citizens of the district to determine their wishes. It was moved by Mr. Bronson that, should 50% or more of the citizens in the area express the desire to commence the work at once at the higher cost, then the Council approve awarding of the bid to the low bidder, Bellevue Bulldozing, for $26,747.00. The motion was seconded by Mr. DeFriel; carried unanimously. It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that the Council adopt Ordinance No. 220, establishing the; method and charges of electrical permits issued. The motion was seconded by Mr. DeFriel; carried unanimously. Mayor Thomas read a letter he had dispatched to Colin Radford, expressing his appreciation of Mr. Radford's efforts toward organizing Medina Days. City Manager Richard Pearson asked consent to be absent from the October 9 meeting to attend the City Managers' Convention in New Orleans. It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that the manager be excused from the October 9 meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Frost; carried unanimously. 83 It was moved By Mr. Stevenson that the meeting adjourn. The motion was seconded by Mr. Bronson; carried unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 10:00 P.M. Respectfully submitted, City,Clerk Mayor The Public Hearing of October- 2, 1967 was called to order by Mayor pro-tem DeFriel at 8:10 P.M. at the Medina City Hall. Councilmen present were Messrs: Arpke, Bronson, DeFriel, Frost and Campbell. Councilmen absent were Messrs: Stevenson and Thomas. Mayor pro-tem DeFriel explained that the Council had studied the Preliminary Budget for 1968 at the regular September meeting, and that the Public Hearing was called for the purpose of adopting the 1968 Budget. City Manager Richard Pearson gave a resume of the main objectives of the proposed budget. Following that, each item was discussed, page at a time. Seven persons were present in the audience. Some discussion took place regarding the proposed improvement of 84th Avenue N.E. and the monies budgeted for participation in this improvement. Mrs. Campbell objected to the $20,000 so budgeted as being described 1184th - Contingency" It was agreed that this be stricken, but the $20,000 figure remain in the budget under 1tlConstruction - Roads and Bridges", and the Council will, later in the year, authorize exactly to what improvement this money may be applied. It was moved by Mr. Frost that the Council adopt Ordinance #221, adopting the 1968 Budget in the amount of $231,737 and stating the taxes to be levied for 1968, based on a total 16 mill levy. The motion was seconded by Mr. Arpke; motion carried by a majority, four councilmen voting "Aye" and Councilman Bronson dissenting, voting "Nay" in protest to the R6 mill levy.. Mayor DeFriel declared the Public Hearing closed. It was moved by Mr. Bronson that the meeting adjourn. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Campbell; carried unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 9:50 P.M. Respectfully submitted, City C erk Mayor The regular meeting of the Medina City Council was called to order by Mayor Thomas at 8 P.M. October 9, 1967 at the Medina City Hall. Councilmen present were Messrs: Arpke, Bronson, DeFriel, Frost, Stevenson, Thomas and Mrs. Campbell. It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that the minutes of the September 11, 1967 meeting be accepted as presented in draft. The motion was seconded by Mr. Frost; carried unanimously. It was moved by Mr. DeFriel that the minutes of the Public Hearing of October 2, 1967 adopting the 1968 Budget, be accepted as presented. The motion was seconded by Mr. Arpke; carried unanimously. Discussion of LID #2 followed. Citizens Overholt and Drescher, from within the district, werepresent in the audience to urge the Council tp proceed with the work. Results of the questionaire, circulated to residents of the district, were reported. Twenty letters were mailed. Eight wish to proceed, seven wish to delay. Thom voting represented 45% of the frontage and assessed valuation. Of this percentage, 57% fav6red immediate action, while 45% preferred to wait. 30% of the property owners, representing 55% of the property, have expressed no opinion. Engineer Sparrow explained that difficult weather conditions are ahead. The sanitary sewer lines are now being laid. A waiting period would allow more time for the settling of sewer cuts. In brief, it was the opinion of the engineer thatthe city could install the storm dewer lines now, but that the road construction should wait until favorable weather in the Spring. If the present low bidder would accept the award on the two -stage basis, the bid could be awarded at once. If not, he recommended that two separate calls be issued, the first for the installation of the storm sewrers T and the second for the paving of the road. Should the work go in these two stages, the City Manager was directed to determine if regular maintenance monies are available with which to blade the street, following the installation of the storm sewers, to make the road passable in the interim between the two contracts. Should the present low bidder accept the project in the two stages, the City Manager may direct him to proceed, without further Council approval. It: was moved by Mr. Arpke that if the present low bidder declines to accept the two - stage offer, that the City Manager call for bids on the separated phases, so the Council may award the bid for the storm sewer installation at the regular meeting of November 13, The motion was seconded by Mr. DeFriel; carried unanimously. Mayor Thomas read a petition of citizens numbering 20 signatures, which protested the widening of 84th Avenue NE to a 4 lane facility,and asking a number of questions relatine to other physical and financial means of improving the road. Twenty persons were present in the audience, and those identifying themselves in protest of a wider road, or requesting a signal at 84th and 24th were John Reuter and Earl Johnson, Mesdames Freeley, Sinear and Thorlakson. The council recommended that the City Manager have the traffic lanes painted at 24th & 84th, which would position cars in a manner to expediate the free right turn. Much discussion followed, with final reassurance to the audience that the engineer, at this time, has made application for money only. If the application were accepted, detailed designs must follow, but not without the public having ample opportunity to express themselves with regard to the design. Mr. Bronson felt the application may better suit concerned citizens of the project covered the distance from the off -ramp and terminated at 12th, excluding any continuation onto lOth Street. Councilman Stevenson reported on his progress on a plan to underground utility poles. He noted there are three ways to form districts for this purpose. 1. By private subscription, which requires 100% participation. It was noted that Mr. Arpke had recently negotiated such a district. 2. To form an LID by petition method 3. To form an LID by resolution of the council - preceded by a petition of 50%- 60'o-,'of the residents within the district. Opposition of 60% could defeat such a district. Mr. Stevenson felt time was valuable, inasmuch as earlier costs amounted to approx- imately $400 per property owner, whereas more recent figures are nearer to $600 per. It was moved by Mr. Arpke that the City Manager be directed to boundary the district being organized by Mr. Stevenson and to commence the program to form an LID for undergrounding utilities within this area, using the resolution method. The motion was seconded by Mr. Stevenson; carried unanimously. Mayor Thomas reported on the proposal of the City of Bellevue to assess other local incorporate areas additional levies for Fire Protection and for participation in library maintenance and bond retirement. The City Attorney was directed to determine if participation in maintenance and interest charges for the library would be legal, since the library contract is between King County and Medina. Participation in these costs might need be made by a method other than millage. It was moved by Mrs. Campbell that the Claim Roster be accepted as presented - proposed Current Expense warrants#4670 through #4704 and street warrants #1551- through #1561. The motion was seconded by Mr. DeFriel; carried unanimously. Brief discussion over the cottonwood tree at Overlake Drive and Upland Road followed. It was noted the tree had been cut down, and Mr. & Mrs. Barker explained that it had been cut at their request. The Clark was directed to note that the council desired the remaining stump be left undisturbed until the matter is reviewed with the City Manager. It was moved by Mr. Bronson that the meeting adjourn. The .notion was seconded by Mt.. Stevenson; carried unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 10:35 P.M. Respectfully submitted, City C1 /k / Mayor The regular meeting of the Medina City Council was called to order by Mayor Thomas at 8 P.M. at the Medina City Hall on November 13, 1967. Councilmen present were Messrs: Arpke, Bronson, DeFriel, Frost, Stevenson, Thomas and Campbell. Robert Lund, who will assume office in December, also sat in at the meeting. It was moved by Mr. Arpke that the minutes of the October meeting be accepted as presented in draft. The motion was seconded by Mr. Bronson; carried unanimously. Mayor Thomas presented Mrs. Campbell with a certificate of service and commended her for her diligent efforts during her five years of service. The City Manager reported on recent recommendations of the Planning Commission. — The first recommendation was that the City Hall be designated as the Civic Center on the City's Land Use Map. The second recommendation was that the Overlake Golf Course, presently zoned as R-20, be changed to "Park and Public Lands - Future10. Considerable discussion followed. It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that the clerk be directed to publish notice of a Public Hearing on the matter of zoning the Golf Course property to "Park and Public Lands - Future", to be held on the next regular meeting date. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Campbell. Motion carried by a majority, with Mr. Bronson voting "Nay". The proposed LID for underground wiring was discussed. The City Manager stated the petition method would be the most thorough, providing each property owner with complete details of the proposal, etc. After discussion as to the time and work involved by this method, it was determined that the district would be formed by the Resolution method. It was noted that the engineer, together with Puget Power, would require more time to determine the boundaries, so that February may be the earliest date for a Public Hearing on the resolution. It was moved by Mrs. Campbell that the Claim Roster be accepted as presented - proposed Current Expense warrants # 4705 through # 4745 and proposed street warrants # 1562 through # 1566. The motion was seconded by Mr. DeFriel; carried unanimously. Mayor Thomas declared the meeting a Public Hearing on the proposal to designate the City Hall as the Civic Center. Brief discussion followed, with no dissention to the proposal. Mayor Thomas declared the Public Hearing closed. Mayor Thomas read a letter from Mayor Wilde of Bellevue, prodding the City to participate in library maintenance costs for 1967 and 1968. The City Attorney reported on the matter, pointing out that, as a body, the city's powers are limited by the State. Medina could establish a library, or join with other county or regional cities under a contract for a portionment of expenses - and if you withdraw, a division of the property is made. Or, you may contract with a private or governmental agency for service. Currently, we are contracting with King County for library service. Bellevue has supplied th_-a building by means of a bond issue. Now, Bellevue has invited the City to help pay excess maintenance costs, plus pro-rata of the bond issue. The attorney felt the City not legally able to honor Bellevue assessments for this purpose, but would graciously consider any opinions to the contrary. Much discussion followed as to the means of determining the cost, and other means, such as on a School District basis etc. which may be more equitable than a cost based on assessed valuation. Mayor Thomas appointed a committee consisting of himself, Mr. Stevenson and Mr. DeFriel to look into the formula of the proposed assessment, and to examine the fire and library contracts. The CityManager reminded the Council of the Association of Washington Cities' regional meeting at 7 P.M. at the Overlake Golf Club, and urged all councilmen to make reservations with him. Mayor Thomas announced the meeting, November 10, of local communities governmental bodies re "Clean and Beautiful Washington". It was moved by Mr. Arpke that the Council adopt Ordinance # 222, amending the Comprehensive Plan to designate the City Hall as "Civic Center". The motion was seconded by Mr. Bronson; carried unanimously. It was moved by Mr. DeFriel that the meeting be adjourned. The motion was seconded by Mr 'Bronson; carried unanimously. The meeting adjoured at 10:30 P.M. Respectfully submitted, Mayor City Clerk M60 The regular meeting of the Medina City Council was called to order by Mayor Thomas at b P.M.

It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that the minutes of the November 13th meeting be accepted as presented in draft. The motion was seconded by Mr. Bronson; carried unanimously. Mayor Thomas then asked that nominations for the office of Mayor be expressed. Mr. DeFriel noted that Mr. Thomas had been some five months on the Council of Metro, and that this valuable experience, particularly with rapid transit now under consideration, should be recognized. In view of this, Mr. DeFriel stated he would nominate Mr. Thomas for a period of one year. It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that nominations be closed. The motion was seconded by Mr. Bronson; carried unanimously. It was moved by Mr. Arpke that Mayor Thomas be reappointed Mayor for a period of one year. The motion was seconded by Mr. Bronson; carried unanimously. Mayor Thomas declared nominations open for the office of Mayor pro-tem. Mr. Bronson nominated Jay T. DeFriel, likewise for a period of one year. It was moved by Mr. Bronson that DeFriel be appointed Mayor pro-tem for a period of one year. Ine motion was seconded by Mr. Stevenson; carried unanimously. The City Manager reported on the results of the bid opening for the drainage phase of LID #2. A total of 12 bids were received, with the high bidder at 59,980.50 and the three low bidders as follows: Kurth Construction $b,884.50 Select Construction $b1d28.50 Gesner & Brown $6,390.00 It was moved by Mr. Arpke that the bid be awarded to the low bidder, Gesner & Brown for $6,390.00. The motion was seconded by Mr. Stevenson;, carried unanimously. The City Manager was directed to blade run the street to make it passable while awaiting the bid call for the surface improvement. It was moved by Mr. DeFriel that the Claim Roster be accepted as presented -- proposed Current Expense warrants #4746 through #47d2 and proposed street warrants #1567 through #1569. The motion was seconded by Mr. Stevenson; carried unanimously. Mayor Thomas declared the meeting a Public Hearing on the matter of designating the property of the Overlake Golt Course on the comprehensive plan as "Parklands - Future". James Clapp, president of the Medina Land Company, together with attorneys Jack Lind and Charles Siljeg, were present in the audience. Attorney Siljeg made a lengthy presentation to convey the fact that management and trustees of the Medina Land Company were deeply concerned and strongly opposed to any change of zoning. Citizen Morkill of 1635 - 73rd NE also expressed opposition to any change in the land use map. Councilman Bronson expressed opposition to any proposed change. Considerable discussion followed, with the Council taking no action. Mayor Thomas declared the Public Hearing closed. Attorney Siljeg requested that he, as well as the Medina Land Company, be notified in writing of any ordinance that may be proposed in the future, as a result of this hearing and proposal of zone changing. Mayor Thomas read a letter of resignation from Ray Hanson, member of the Planning Commission, It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that Colin Radtord be appointed to the Planning Commission, to fill the unexpired term of Ray Hanson, commencing December, 1967 and ending in June, 1972. The motion was seconded by Mr. Bronson; carried unanimously. Mayor Thomas noted that this appointment would leave a vacancy on the Board of Adjustment, and asked that the Council members consider nomonations for this vacancy. It was moved by Mr. Arpke that the Council adopt Resolution #80, accepting member- ship in the Puget Sound Governmental Conference. the motion was seconded by Mr. DeFriel; carried unanimously, A proposed ordinance outlined to require the licensing of bicycles failed for lack of a motion/and/or second.

Respectfully submitted, 9 i j City Clerk Mayor • • • ok The regular meeting of the Medina City Council was called to order by Mayor pro-tem DeFriel at the Medina City Hall on January 8, 1968. Councilmen present were Messrs: Arpke, Bronson, DeFriel and Lund. Councilmen Stevenson and Thomas were absent. It was moved by Mr. Arpke that the minutes of the December 11,1967 meeting be accepted as presented in draft. The motion was seconded by Mr. Frost; carried unanimously. Mr. DeFriel reported on the findings of the committee investigating the fire and library contracts. Although it appears other incorporate areas have agreed to remit the library payment as requested by Belle:;e, the committee felt Medina could not legally contribute that portion designated as bond retirement. The balance of approximately $1200 maintenance costs may be justified, but it was felt a formula, giving reasonable assurance of curtailment of spiraling maintenance costs, must first be derived. After studying ithe fire contract, it was learned that the Clyde Hill station is still a reserve station and that all calls are answered from the Bellevue station. Manning the Clyde Hill station would improve the grading for the Bellevue business district, but would affect no changes to grading for residential structures, such as in Medina. It was noted that in arriving at overall costs, Bellevue had not credited the extra revenue received from the State for employing more than 5 firemen. In general, the commitee felt further study of the method of assessment was essential, The commitee plans to meet with neighborhood corporations very soon, to attempt a formula with a "closed end". It was moved by Mr. Arpke that the Claim Roster be accepted as presented, proposed Current Expense warrants #4783 through #4816 and proposed street warrants #1570 through #1577• The motion was seconded by Mr. Bronson; carried unanimously. Mr. DeFriel staked nominations were open for membership to the Board of Adjustment. Mr. Frost nominated Hugh Ferguson, seconded by Mr. Arpke. It was moved by Mr. Lund that nominations be closed. The motion was seconded by Mr. Bronson; carried unanimously. It was moved by Mr. Frost that Hugh Ferguson be appointed to the Board of Adjustment, to fill the unexpired term of Colin Radford, this term to expire in June, 1970. The motion was seconded by Mr. Bronson; carried unanimously. Mayor pro-tem DeFriel then confirmed the appointment of Herbert Stevenson to the audit committee, replacing outgoing councilman Campbell on this committee. Discussion followed as to whether or not the City, while replacing existing light standards in districts that have undertaken underground wiring, would also install additional lights in the district. It was agreed that the City would replace the existing lights, but the matter of additional lights will require further consideration. Warren Young of 2639 - 82nd was present in the audience, requesting a street light located near his property to alert drivers of the open ditch in that area. Mayor Thomas and K. Cole desired to learn if councilmen and their wives would be interested in a dinner, featuring a speaker from the Forward Thrust group, at some date near to January 22nd. Several councilmen felt a meeting at a school or other spacious place would be adequate, dispensing with dinner elaborations. It was moved by Mr. Frost that the meeting be adjourned. The motion was seconded by Mr. Bronson; carried unanimously. The meeting adjounned at 9:30 P.M. i Respectfully submitted, Mayor City Clerk W: A The regular meeting of the Medina City Council was called to order by Mayor Thomas at 8 P.M. February 12th, 1968 at the Medina City Hall. Councilmen present were Messrs: Arpke, Bronson, DeFriel, Frost, Lund, Stevenson and Thomas.

March llth, 1968 at the Medina City Hall. Councilmen present were Messrs: DeFriel, Lund, Stevenson, Frost and Thomas. Councilmen Arpke and Bronson were absent. It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that the minutes of the February 12th meeting be accepted as presented in draft. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lund; carried unanimously. The City Manager reported that the Board of Adjustment desired to meet with the Council fo further discuss and define its roll in Planned Land Use Development. If the Board is to have an application by the next regular meeting date, the Council would be notified, and the meeting of the two governing bodies would be arranged for that date. Council members will be notified of the confirmed schedule by post -card. Mr. DeFriel reported on the meeting with Bellevue and neighborhood inorporations over the fire contract. Briefly, he reported as follows: With all incorporate areas contributing the 4 mill levy, Bellevue will contribute:, in addition to its 4 mills, $40,000 from other revenues, in order to balance their 1g68 Budget. Bellevue has no plans to man the Clyde.: Hill station until April or May of 1969. State revenues, derived from employing 5 or more police and firemen, were not considered in determining the: necessity of additional millage for the; two reasons that this State income is more or less a "one-shot" income and would have to be enacted again for budget planners to consider it a stable income, and the enacted law did not state this money had to be allocated to any particular function. Bellevue anticipates it will require near to 5 mills from all areas in order to meet fire expenditures. This being lower than Seattle's 8 mill levy.

Thus, a corner structure may be 10 feet from one street, when all other structures along the block observe a 30 foot set -back, thus breaking the conformity and interfering with the aesthetics of the block frontage. The Planning Commission recommends that the ordinance be amended, establishing the minimum set -back on a dedicated road to 20 feet.

If the application were accepted, the dollar figure would bring a 3 to 1 return, delivering a greater benefit to the City than a cash outlay for the jetty work. The application to IAC will again be on the agenda on March 3, 1970. A letter from landscape architect William Teufel was read, in which he recomm- ended that the proposed sidewalks along 84th be placed adjacent to the traveling surface rather than against the fencing of Clyde Hill residents, thus removed some 18 feet from the roadway. Much discussion followed, with Engineer Glen Sparrow and Ed Greathouse answering numerous questions posed by the Council. Relocating the sidewalk to the road edge would entail moving some of the underground utility accesses, as well as increasing the cost. Discussion followed on the subject of widening the sidewalks to more than the proposed 4 feet. It was moved by Mr. Thomas that the location of the sidewalks remain against the fencing, as originally proposed. Mr. Bronson moved to amend the motion, to request: that the sidewalks be made wider if funds are available. Mr. Thomas seconded the: amendment; carried unanimously. Mr. Bronson seconded the original motion; carried unanimously. Mrs. Davis of Washington State Trails addressed the Council. She displayed maps of a trail system being formulated by the organization, leading ultimately to eastern Washington, with 84th being a portion of this route. Wide sidewalks are a preference on the system, but also sanctioned are cinder/ gravel shoulder paths, where sidewalks are not feasible. She asked Council approval of including 84th sidewalks into the system, together with a 'letter of enthusiasm on the general trail system. It was moved by Mr. Thomas that the Council approve the trail and walk concept as outlined, and that a letter be drafted to theK effect. The motion was seconded by Mr. Bronson; carried unanimously. The City Engineer requested council approval to advertise for bids on signal- ization on 84th, which was not included in the original contract. St stated he is making application to Urban Arterial for the allowable 10% overage, and if such funds are granted•, they could be used for signalization, which would cost approximately $25,575. The cost of sidewalks approximates $16,400, provided from the regular budges: at; about $7,500 per each participating, Medina and Clyde Hill. Should the 10% application be refused, bids need not be awarded. It was moved by Mr. Thomas that the engineer be directed to call for bids on the signalization of 84th„ The motion was seconded by Mr. Bronson; carried unan imou sly.

Noble Construction Co. 141,936 13, Roth Excavation Company 184,765 Mr. Teufel stated he would like to have some job or background references on the low bidder. Mr. Teufel also stated he would like to seek out the bidder on the comfort station in the second low bid - or make some effort to have the bid on the comfort station lowered. He also recommended that the City not. att?empt the clean-up item. It is a big item and much beyond the manpower within the City's crews. The low bidder, Hovde Company, have stated the company would like an :immediate start, estimating a completion time of 150 working days, with a Spring grass planting, and the park ready for use by summertime. The City Manager stated he would hold a preliminary meeting with the contractor on Tuesday, December 22nd at 3.30 P.M. to discuss probable cut- backs within the contract, inasmuch as the present budget dictates an approximate $80,000 limit. Discussion followed on the idea of cut -backs in the bog walk area, omitting the grass and trees there. Suggestions were made that the City could complete that area, planting the Oregon grape, sallal etc. at a pace allowed by available time and money. Mayor De Friel appointed a committee, to include himself, Mr. Teufel, and Mr. Marshall and a member of the Park Board, to meet with the low bidder, Mr. Hovde, on Monday, December 28th - the hour to be confirmed by Mr. Hovde - for the purpose of reviewing the contract and cut -backs. The entire Council will meet again, to concur on cut -backs within the contract. It was moved by Mr. Thomas that the meeting be continued to 7:30 P.M. Monday, January 4th, 1971 for the purpose of agreeing on changes (if any) made to the proposed contract. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lund; carried unanimously. The meeting dispersed at 9:10 P.M. Respectfully submitted City Clerk Mayor 140 The regular meeting of December 14th, 1970, continued to December 21st, and continued again to January 4th, 1971 was called to order by Mayor DeFriel at 7:30 P.M., January 4th, 1971 at the Medina City Hall. Councilmen present were Messrs: DeFriel, Frost, Lund, Marshall and Thomas. Councilmen Stevenson and Panchot were absent. Architect William Teufel was also present. The meeting continued for the purpose of reviewing the bids received for further development of Medina Park. The City Manager reported. that he had not completed his checking and research on the proposed water assessment of $2,787. The deciding factor may be whether or not other incorporations, such as Hunt's Point or Bellevue had been similarly assessed. Much discussion followed as to the reduction of costs. Mr. Teufel presented a list of suggestions, in an effort to reduce the bid by approximately $10,000, with an aim to a total cost of $73,400. The City Manager was directed to look into costs and plans of a concrete comfort station. It was moved by Mr. Thomas that the council favor the low bid of Hovde Company with provision that several items, including the comfort station, be allowable as deletions - the main deletion being the bog walk, bog bridge and paths in the south end bog - and that the contractor be notified of the deletions as the work progresses. The motion was seconded by Mr. Frost; carried unanimously. Further discussion followed concerning the deletion of more paths. It was moved by Mr. Thomas that the Council favor the bid of Hovde Company, following approval of IAC, with the following deletions: Clean up Tree Guarantee Lawn Guarantee Lawn Exclusion Bog Bridge Bog Paths Comfort Station Additional Paths 1,500 1,100 1,000 43783 1,406 1,048 (pending redesign) (to approximate 1,300) The motion was seconded by Mr. Marshall; carried unanimously. Upon motion of Mr. Thomas, seconded by Mr. Frost and carried unanimously, the meeting adjourned at 9:55 P.M. Respectfully submitted, Mayor City Clerk 141 The regular meeting of the Medina City Council was called to order by Mayor DeFriel at 8 P.M. January llth at the Medina City Hall. Councilmen present were Messrs: DeFriel, Frost, Lund, Panchot, Marshall, Stevenson and Thomas. It was moved by Mr. Thomas that the minutes of the December 14th, 1970 meeting, continued to December 21st, and continued again to January 4th be accepted as presented in draft. The motion was seconded by Mr. Frost; carried unanimously. Mayor DeFriel opened the meeting by inviting audience participation in a discussion of further development of Medina Park. Landscape Architect William Teufel was also present, to answer questions from the 22 citizens in attnedance. Those identifying themselves were Messrs: Ricketts, Barb, Miller, Bosworth, Reuter, Johnson and Carter. Considerable discussion followed and remarks from the audience centered around suggestions: overlays of the stages of development should be available for sight inspection, for citizens to envision the total park the city may encourage citizen participation, in the way of planting, path making etc. the council may wish to avail themselves of free trees, supplied by the County agent, Division of Forrestry elimination of all paths may be desirable - later the use of the park would establish the functional location of paths suggestions were made that the lake depths be reduced to 4 feet, for safety of small children certain citizens felt doubtful that lake waters will keep moving, and suggested experts be consulted on this factor, prior to building the lakes - also that experts be consulted on lake depths necessary to prevent algea and excessive growth. This information may be obtained from the University. It was moved by Mr. Thomas that the Council adopt Ordinance # 262, increasing membership on the Park Board from 3 to 5 members. The motion was seconded by Mr. Stevenson; carried unanimously. It was noted that the ordinance made no men<ti:ph of a councilman being appointed ex-officio to the Park Board, with voting rights in the event of a tie. The City Attorney was directed to prepare an amendment to Ordinance #262, to be presented at the next regular meeting, making provision for a council member on the Park Board. Council acknowledged the annual reports of the Planning Commission and the Board of Adjustment. Mayor DeFriel noted that Robert V. Smith had resigned from the Planning Commission, and recommended that Clyde Cory of 3630 Evergreen Point Road be appointed to the Planning Commission as a replacement. It was moved by Mr. Lund that Clyde Cory be appointed to the Planning Commission to fill the unexpired term of Robert V. Smith, the term to expire in June of 1973• The motion was seconded by Mr. Panchot; carried unanimously. Mayor DeFriel suggested that one person be appointed to the Park Board now, inasmuch as the Park Board should become involved in the current development of Medina Park. He recommended that John Powers be appDinted. It was moved by Mr. Thomas that John Powers of 8443 N.E. loth Street be appointed as one new, additional member (Ord. #262) to the Park Board, to serve a term to June, 1971. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lund; carried unanimously. Discussion followed regarding traffic. It was agreed that Councilman Frost and Panchot would meet with the City Manager and Chief Anglin to study the intersection at 78th and 24th, it being heavily trafficed by school children. It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that the Claim Roster be accepted as follows: Current Expense #6656 through # 6712, Park #5 and Street #2146 through #2157, deleting #2158. Warrant #2158 represented payment of 850% of contract to P & G General Contractors. It was felt that Clyde Hill should enter into payment participation, rather than Medina act as prime payer on the tree planting project along 84th Avenue N.E. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lund; carried unanimously. Mayor DeFriel stated he would soon make reply to Clyde Hill regarding their letter on the maintenance of 84th. He anticipated referring to the low spots having inadequate drainage, of makinf no mention of the railings, and reminding Clyde Hill that Medina has not yet been reimbursed the approximate $4,000 expended to carry in King County's share in the 84th project. Mayor DeFriel then directed the Council to make recommendations on the negotiation of the park contract with Hovde Construction. He noted that Water District #68 had come forth with an acreage assessment of $2,300. Mr. Panchot interjected that this is most likely a negotiable matter. The City Manager was directed, together with the City Attorney, to further negotiate this assessment with the Water District. The Mayor stated that, making allownaces for this water assessment, utility connections, supervisory fees and sales tax, an approximate $74„300 is left for contract participation. Acceptable omission would be: Clean -•up 1„500 Tree Guarantee 13.100 Lawn Guarantee 1,000 Lawn Exclusion 41783 Bog Bridge 1,406 Bog paths 1,300 (or more, depending on the final decision of Bamheil. Also a savings on the comfort station, when redesigned). He suggested that the contract be prepared for signatures, listing these items as optional deletions, in order• to get underway with the work. It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that the City Manager be given authority to prepare the contract, with the above: optional deletions. The motion was seconded by Mr. Frost; D,isr_Ossiio,na;fo.l.Jow0. Mr.Thomas felt that the Park Board should meet, review these deletions and make recommed nat ions. Mr. Marshall felt the motion premature, since several items are yet undetermined -- what does grading in the bog area encompass - rough grading, raking? --• how deep are the lakes going to be? - shallower lakes, removing less dirt, will provide less fill dirt for higher grades - digging a foot more, or/less in an area of over LF acres would greatly affect the cost of the operation - no true determination has been made on the affect, if the lake depths were to be changed - no final determination has been made on what paths are to be deleted - - to negotiate this contract now, with these unknown factors, is like buying and selling an unknown. Discussion followed. Mr. Stevenson made a motion to withdraw his original motion, when put to the question. The City Manager and City Attorney related to Council the problems of Lakeside Electric, culminating in the inability of Lakeside to honor the Street Signalization contract. The attorney stated the City must now readvertise for bids. Discussion followed as to any changes in the design of the signals and poles. The City Manager was authorized to make any changes he deemed advisable, to research the availability of the original specifications, and to report on signalization by next week. It was suggested the meeting be continued to next week, for the purpose of hearing the Manager's report on Signalization, and hearing further findings on paring and changing the park bid. It was moved by Mr. Panchot that the meeting be continued to 7:30 P.M. Monday, January 18th, to , to discuss the park contract and the Signalization contract. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lund; carried unanimously. The meeting disbursed at 11:30 P.M. The regular meeting of the Medina City Council of January llth, continued to January 18th, 1971 was called to order by Mayor DeFriel at 7:30 P.M. on January 18th, 1971 at the Medina City Hall. Councilman present were Messrs: DeFriel, Frost, Lund, Panchot, Marshall and Thomas. Councilman Stevenson was absent. Means of reducing the cost of Medina Park development were discussed. The bid of Hovde Construction was reviewed. The City Manager answered several questions which were raised at the January llth meeting: 1. The sum item of $500 for clean-up of large rubble should remain in the contract, since the City is not equipped to handle large rubble. 2. The $750 water meter charge will be credited, and the contractor is aware that his cost on this item was a duplication. 3. Grading in the bog area is rouhg grading - dragging a rake behind the dozer, and is not hand raking. 4. The bog area contains 119,575 sq. ft. A credit of 4� on grass and 8� on paths will be taken in this area. 4" Summarizing - 4� savings on grass, where paths are replaced by grass, certain per:romkter trees in the bog area will be eliminated, and it appears a savings of some $2,000 can be affected in redesigning the comfort station. All bridges could be deleted, until progress is underway, dollars ane counted, and a decision can be made as to what bridges wi I leventual ly be installed. Bill Watters of CH 2M was present in the audience to answer questions regarding the lakes. He stated he had extensive consultation with qualified men in his organization on the lakes. He noted that Clyde Lock lake had a very gradual slope to a small, center depth of 5-6 feet, and that weeds are a problem there. He recommended that Medina follow the proposal of 3 to 1 slope and a depth of 6 feet. Natural flow, together with wind should eliminate any stagnancy. Members Campbell, Hickey and Powers of the Park Board were present in the audience and went on record as favoring the 6 foot depth for the lakes, with the 3-1 slope. Mr.. Marshall noted that a drain may be needed off 82nd, to direct the water accumulation in that area into the lakes, and expressed concern that failure to direct this water may result in flooding the properties on the opposite side of 82nd. It was suggested that a meeting with Mr. Teufel and Mr. Hovde be set up, in order to finalize path locations and numbers of bridges, as well as the redesign of the comfort station. It was moved by Mr. Lund that the Council authorize the negotiations and award of the contract to Hovde Construction, with the following items listed as optional deletions: Paths 1,048'- Reduction of path widths 488 Lawn Exclusion 4,783 Elimination of more paths 192 Lawn Guarantee 11000 Deletion of trees 304, Bog Bridge 1,406` .. Clean Up 1,500 .. and that the deletion of the comfort station be at the discretion of the City. The motion was seconded by Mr. Panchot; carried unanimously. The City Manager was directed to have the City Attorney prepare the optional deletions addendum to the contract, Mr. Panchot recommended that the Park Board be consulted on any changes or deletions in the plan. The Clerk was directed to notify Dr. Ricketts of all meetings on the subject of the park. It was moved by Mr. Panchot that the meeting be continued to January 25th, 1971 and to February 1, 1971, for the pirpose of resolving optional deletions and changes in the park bid. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lund; carried unanimously. The meeting dispersed at 10.10 P.M.

The motion was seconded by Mr. Panchot; carried unanimously. A letter from City.Attorney Chadwick was read, regarding the liability and the Overlake bulkhead. Questions arose as to the history of the bulkhead, the exact location of the easterly right-of-way, and whether or not maintenance need be preceeded by slope easements. The City Manager was directed to start action, by a survey, title search, or any necessary negotiations with the landowners below the bulkhead. It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that the Claim Roster be accepted as presented - proposed Current Expense warrants #6713 through # 6772 and proposed Street warrants #2158 through #2172.

Retain all proposed bridges, if money permits, deleting only the bog bridge, if deletions are necessary. Mr. Ashe of Ashe-Jones Inc., of Seattle made a presentation on comfort stations. Delivery could be made within a month. The gabled, shake roof design costs approximately $600 more than the version featuring the butterfly roof. The City is responsible to lay the slab, erect and paint the structure, and to install the plumbing. All plumbing fixtures are apoxy covered cast aluminum, mirrors are stainless steel, and windows are meshed wire. Delivery price is approximately $5,300 and it is anticipated the station could be completed for an approximate cost of $8,000 to $9,000. Councilman Thomas moved to delete the parking at 82nd and N.E. 12th St, and to utilize the right of way along 12th Street, between unopened 80th Avenue to 82nd Avenue, to provide adequate parking. The motion was seconded by Mr. Frost; carried unanimously. It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that, based upon the recommendations of the Park Board, and if the City Manager finds of feasible in all respects, he be directed to order the Ashe-Jones comfort station, model #925. The motion was seconded by Mr. Panchot; carried unanimously. Signalization of 84th was discussed.

The motion was seconded by Mr. Lund; carried unanimously. The City Manager noted that the cost of the signals is no longer limited to $12,000. 145 This arterial money from Forward Thrust is available for a period of 12 years. It was suggested that he enquire if this money may be used for the proposed flasher at 24th Street and 78th Avenue N.E. Mayor DeFriel recommended that Council meet with Clyde Hill to discuss 84th maintenance. A number of items need to be clarified: Are there drainage tiles under the low, flooded sidewalk areas - if not, where does the fault lie? Is the railing along 12th, as proposed by Clyde Hill, construction or meintenance? Is the term 84th to include N.E. 12th Street? Is liability insurance limited to geographical limits? Should Clyde Hill participate in Medina's deficit created by payment of King County's share - not yet reimbursed by the County? Council members praised Police Chief Anglin for his annual report. It was suggested that he condense it in such a manner as to utilize it in the newsletter. The City Manager noted that the Planning Commission will meet at 7:30 P.M. on February 23rd. Delegates from the Bellevue Fire Department will be in attendance to discuss the roll of the Fire Department in the community. It was moved by Mr. Thomas that the meeting adjourn.

Respectfully submitted, City Clerk MAY The regular meeting of the Medina City Council was called to order by Mayor DeFriel at 8 P.M. Monday, March 8, 1971 at the Medina City Hall. Councilmen present were Messrs: DeFriel, Frost, Lund, Marshall, Panchot, Stevenson and Thomas. Mr. Thomas noted that the last paragraph, page 1, minutes of February 8, J971 need correcting to reflect that the deletion of parking at 82nd and N.E. 12th within the park was suggested in the form of a motion made by Mr. Thomas and :seconded by Mr. Frost; It was moved by Mr. Thomas that the minutes of the February 8, 1971 meeting be accepted as amended. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lund; carried unanimously. Herbert Reed of Reed and Associates was present in the audience and made a presentation to Council, requesting permission to land a telephone cable lake crossing on the north side of City Hall Park, 50 feet from the water's edge. The proposal included paving an access road down to the two manholes, and to lay a concrete slab of 9 ft. by 20 ft. around the manhole lids.. The slab serves to bear the load of the front wheels of the winch truck when pulling a cable. Anticipation is that a cable will be pulled once a year for three years, and after that, entrance would be made for maintenance only, upon rare occasions. 'The slab is larger than required by the Telephone Company, but was so designed to accomodate three park benches for the use of park patrons. Mr. Thomas felt the south area, seldom used, but already utilized by the sewer line, would be more selective a location than the useable north area. John Powers and Dr. Ricketts, present in the audience, asked if the Telephone Company sought ownership or an easement; asked why the Lake Crest run could not be duplicated. It was suggested that Council, as a committee on the whole, meet with the Park Board to set recommendations and standards, so the matter may be settled by the regular meeting of April 12th. The Telephone Company desire to commence work when school is resumed in September, to meet their completion date. It was moved by Mr. Panchot that the matter be referred to the Park Board for as prompt action as possible 2 that a straw ballot be taken on the north or south location. The motion was seconded by Mr. Thomas; carried unanimously. Straw ballot vote results were: South Location - Frost, Lund, Marshall, Panchot andThomas North location - Stevenson A letter from Water District #68 was read regarding the acreage fees for Medina Park, in which the district indicated the fees may be paid in four equal, interest free, annual payments. IAC will not match this item. Paying only the first installment would free the other 3/4 fee to be matched - and the regular annual city budget could provide payments for the ensuing three years. It was suggested any firm decision be passed up until the next regular meeting. Parking on N.E. 12th was discussed. A blueprint provided by CH 2M indicates a 60 foot right-of-way, with 14 feet available for parking between 80th and 82nd Avenues. Discussion followed, as to whether usage of the park would indicate whether or not this parking is needed, or if fill dirt should be put in now and rock added later. Perhaps only 8 or 9 feet of the existing shoulder could be improved with a little fill dirt and no gravel added. It was suggested that a fill, sufficient to create a bicycle or walking path be placed along 82nd Avenue, as it is dangerous for children. It was moved by Mr. Thomas that fill on 12th and 82nd be done at the discreation of the City Manager, but no surfacing be laid. The motion was seconded by Mr. Stevenson; carried unanimously.' The bulkhead on Overlake Drive was discussed. The top of the bulkhead is 20 feet from the shoulder. Title information is en route from Mr. Panchot. The City Manager was directed to pursue the bulkhead situation. The City Manager informed Council that Medina City Hall is up for nomination as an Histroical Site. March loth is the date of selecting nominations in Washington D.C., and notification of selections will be processed in an approximate two months. A probable subject for the next newsletter. Mr. Thomas informed Council that Craig, the City's past sailing instructor, will not be available this summer, and work must be gotten underway by the City Manager and the Park Board at augment the sailing program. It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that the Claim Rostaeer be accepted as presented - proposed Current Expense warrants # 6773 through # 6835 and proposed Street warrants # 2173 through # 2191. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lund; carried unanimously. It was moved by Mr. Thomas that the meeting be continued to 8 P.M. March 15th, for the purpose of reviewing the request of the Telephone Company and to review the signalization on 84th Avenue N.E., if necessary. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lund; carried unanimously. The meeting dispersed at 10:10 P.M. Respectfully submitted, p/ City Clerk MAY R.

It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that the minutes of the March 8, 1971 meeting be accepted as presented in draft. The motion was seconded by Mr. Frost; carried unanimously. Mr. Reedof Reed and Associates again spoke to the Council regarding the easement( and agreement sought by Pacific Northwest Bell to use the City Hall Park as a beaching point for a lake cable crossing„ Citizens Glen Chapman, Doug Nunnelly, Dr. Ricketts, Mr. Reynolds and Mrs. Senear were present in the audience and expressed their views on the proposal. A, safe place; and depth of anchor appeared the chief concern of everyone. Mr. Reid read the proposed agreement. Mr. Stevenson moved to accpet the agreement with Pacific Northwest Bell, if the position of the anchor is approved by the Mayor as being no hazard. Mr. Thomas moved to amend the motion, to substitute the words "aerial plants" to "above ground facilities". Mr. Stevenson seconded the amendment. Mr. Thomas seconded the original motion as amended; carried unanimously. 147 It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that the Mayor and Clerk be directed to execute the easement. The motion was seconded by Mr. Thomas; carried unanimously. A letter from Mrs. Jonas of 8615 N.E. 12th Street was read, in which she related tK- history of, and her complaints against, the steep slope of her driveway. A letter and mobile illustration, submitted by engineers from CH 2M regarding the driveway, was discussed. A modest estimate to revamp the driveway approximates $700. Council acknowledged the complaint of Mrs. Jonas, but stated nothing could be done about it at the present time. The City Manager noted that the terms of Design Board members Hickey, Pigott, Thomas and wallis had expired. Mr. Hickey has indicated a willingness to serve another term, while the other three members have indicated otherwise. It was noted that the Board membership must represent the architectural and urban planning professions. Mayor DeFriel stated he would call for nominations to the Design Board at the next regular meeting. The proposed agreement with Clyde Hill for maintenance of 84th Avenue N.E. was discussed. Three changes were recommended - adding item (h) under 2 -- deleting lines fm-i 4 -- and delhtions from 7. It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that the maintenance agreement with Clyde Hill be signed as amended. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lund; carried 'unanimously. The City Manager displayed a swatch, to illustrate the scene he would like adopted as the City's emblem, for use on city vehicles etc. It was moved by Mr.Thomas that the City adopt this scene as its emblem. The motion was seconded by Mr. Marshall; carried unanimously. The City Manager br,ached the Council on retaining the oldest police car, to be used as a City Manager's/City/ car, rather than selling it at an approximate $600. Discussion followed as to insurance costs, the need of a third vehicle etc. It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that the third police car be kept as the City Manager's car. The motion was seconded by Mr. Panchot; carried unanimously. A letter from New Carreers was read. The City Manager stated he has been exploring this avenue as a means of obtaining additional office help. The program constitutes a three year committment, with the agency paying $360 per month the first year, $180 per month the second year, and nothing the third year. Council felt this should be taken up at a study session, and that perhaps Mr. Henderson of New Carreers could be present it the next regular meeting. The City Manager told of having a State Highway engineer here to review the proposed signalization at 12th and 84tj. It was noted that G.T. Sparrow had made a written recommendation to the Clyde Hill Council, recommending the signalization at 12th be Solid State. The State Engineer recommended against any signalization- at 12th, and maintained the intersection activity would be both slower and safer with the use of stop signs and the tightening up of the stop bars, and by defining the free right movement off 12th to 84th. Discussion followed, and the majority of the Council, together with the Chief of Police, now favored eliminating signals at 12th and 84th. It was moved by Mr. Marshall that the Council go on record as favoring stop signs only at 12th and 84th. The motion was secm ded by Mr. Stevenson; carried unanimously.., It was suggested that the display of lights be prepared - together with spot lights, and a meeting with Clyde Hill be arranged, for discussion of lights and/or/ any changes of plans for traffic control at 12th Street. It was noted that street lamps in Issaquah, and also those in the Kirkland waterfront park are a very handsome wood and ball combination. Mr. Reid appeared again before the Council and read the amendments to the proposed agreement as follows: "If the water depth 50 feet out from the shoreline is not sufficient to provide at least 10 feet of water cover over the anchor at Low Regulated Lake Level, the anchor will be moved out to a location which will provide at least the said 10 feet cover, or to 80 feet out from the shoreline at high water, which ever occur first. This location is intended to provide a safe water depth or cover for the boating and swimm'ng public. Without regard to the actual distance out from shoreline or the depth of the anchor and cables, PNB will hold the City of Medina harmless from any claim of the "public" based or arising from the -)r(-)sence of said PNB equipment"/ Mr. Reid read the amendments to the proposed easement: "Said easement granted subject to restrictions of record and to the: condition that Grantee shall not install cable crossing signs or above ground facilities on the property of the Grantor. Grantor reserves the right to place a concrete or asphalt driveway over the easement area and build a fence along the property line. However, Grantor will not construct or place within said easement area premanent structures". It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that the Mayor and City Clerk be directed to execute the agreement and easement with Pacific Northwest Bell, as amended.

Mr. Preston Tack of Metro was present in the audience and spoke to Council regarding the adoption of a resolution authorizing the City to enter into contract with the Municipality of Metropolitan Seattle for jointly undertaking and financing preparation of a comprehensive water pollution control and abatement plan. The City would develop a study on storm drainage, to include aerial photos and a topography map for submission to Metro, at an approximate cost, as quoted from CH 2M of $19,000. A Federal grant is expected to pay 60% of the project. The other 40% may be taken in kind or by service. Questions arose as to any future assessment if the grant were inadequate; what other cities are doing about this proposed agreement; and whether or not it would result in a total storm drainage design. Mr. Tack stated that Stevens, Thompson and Runyon are the consulting engineers for Metro on this project; that Kirkland had signed the resolution entering into the agreement; that the survey work must be completed by July 1,1973 - with a committment desired by May 15, 1971. The City Manager was directed to inquire into alternatives - such as the aff ect, if any, of non -participation. The matter was deferred for further study. The evaluation of the Medina Newsletter was discussed. Of the 1065 newsletters mailed, 240 replied, adding 22.5% in favor of the newsletter. An organizational chart was displayed by the City Manager, illustrating input from City Hall and the Boards and Commissions, with volunteer editors, assisted by a Public Information Officer, appointed from each of the Boards and Commissions, and produced by the City's machinery. Since many citizens have volunteered contributions, it was suggested that it be stated in the next newsletter that contributions are now being accepted.

The City Manager asked consent of council to level and fence an equipment storage area in the new park, adjacent to the Puget Power site, across from the Armstrong property. He proposed fencing to a height of 6 feet, to surround a square of '90 feet, or a rectangle of equivelant area. He stated he would have the two dimensions staked out for council members to inspect by Wednesday, desiring to get the project underway while ESP laborers are still with the City. The Manage- urged a meeting with Clyde Hill, to finalize the maintenance agreement. The City Manager was directed to look into a means of watering the trees along 84th Avenue N.E. - and to future watering of the park.

Councilmen present were Messrs:DeFriel, Frost, Lund, Marshall, Panchot and Thomas. Councilman Stevenson was absent. The meeting was continued for the purpose of discussing further the proposed agreement with Metro, to undertake a comprehensive water pollution and abatement plan. Mr. King of CH 2M was present in the audience to discuss the estimated cost provided by his firm, for compliance with the agreement. The cost of survey, maps and aerial photographs and contour maps would approximate $9,000, and the study itself would run about $20,000. This would provide the City with a detailed storm drainage map,detail falling short of a final design. An option would be to provide the aerial photographs and topography at $9,000 and to limit the study to locating major intercepters and collection points, for $10,000. Discussion followed regarding the funding of the project by RIBCO, and the likelihood or unlikelihood of being fully reimbursed for all incurred costs. It was moved by Mr. Panchot that the agreement be approved, with the addition of a Section 9, to read as follows: The obligation of the City of Medina to provide the information set forth in Exhibit A shall be contingent upon there being sufficient grant funds available which shall be used to pay all of Medina's direct and indirect costs, as estimated herein. Medina shall have no other or further expenses or charges of any nature assessed against it in connection with the agreement, except to the intent that there are grant funds available from which the same shall be paid.

The sewer line is located at a depth of 15 feet along 82nd Avenue N.E. Discussion of relocating the restrooms ensued. Suggested locations were areas off 80th, preferrably near the storage area. It was moved by Mr. Marshal I that the comfort station be located near to the storage area, if the cost: is feasible. The motion was seconded by Mr. Thomas; carried unanimously. The City Manager was directed to broach Mr. Teufel over the proposed relocation of the restrooms, and to look into the availlabilit:y of water and sewer lines in that area. He was also directed to advise the Park Board of the proposal to relocate the station. Tree planting in the park is scheduled to take place this week. With the trees in bud and hot weather in the offing, council members were concerned over the survival of the trees. Councilman Panchot suggested that a written statement be ob4 ined from the landscaper, staging his opinion that this date is appropriate and safe for the planting of the trees. Council discussed the recently levelled location to be used for equipment storage. Members unanimously agreed that the site, as levelled, was unsightly and unacceptable. The City Manager was directed to change the topography of the site now, before further work is done, to create a new entry and to lower the area, and to have it surrounded by a burm.

Mr. Philip 3ronson, former councilman, made a presentation on fire protection for Medina, Clyde, Hill, Yarrow and Hunt's Points by a priva,e contractor, now serving Scottsdale, Arizona and several communities around Scottsdale. He recommended that the City look further into this service, with--a-view to economy, better and nearer fire protection and the probability of discouraging higher fire protection costs in the ensaing years. The Rural Metropolitan Fire Protection Company have stated they could send two of their men here to make a thorough study of the area, for an approx- _mate cost of $1,000 maximum, and would be agreeable to allay payment of the study __. until I`M. Pr. Panchot noted that three questions, in his mind, were not fully answered ... (1) First aid facilities -of the company (2) what changes would be made in insurance rating and (3) the adequacy of the equipment of the company. It ws moved by Mr. Panchot that the City accept the suggestion of Mr. Br.nson to have a survey made by the Rural Metropolitan Fire Protection Company, not to exceed $1,000, and that funds be provided in the 1472 budget for this expenditure, as prorated between the towns at $350 from Clyde Hill, $200 from Yarrow Point and $100 from Hunt's Point.

Mr. Panchot felt that the cost was too high, in as much as the guardrail will not run a great distance - per- haps 400 feet and Medina presently is short of participating monites. It was moved by Mr. Stevenson ti,,at the city agree to participating in the construction of this guardrail not to exceed $1,000; that the construction cost be questioned; and that participation be based upon the original informal agreement that, at a future date, Clyde Hill share in the construction costs of a sidewalk from 24th to 26th on the Medina side of 81jth.

Mayor DeFriel stated he would make reply to the letter from the mayor of Clyde Hill regarding the guardrail„ The City Manager noted that M,,dina Day would be celebrated on August 28th, at which time he hoped to make the dedication of Medina Community Park.

Council recommended that the matter be referred to the Park Board, with the recommendation that Medina does wish representation, as a matter of protective interest to citizens of Medina. The Board is also directed to contact Hunt's and Yarrow Points, and Clyde Hill, to see if they know about it and if they generate any interest in the matter. A letter fran Jean DeSpain, Director of Public Works, King County was read, con- cerning a Horizontal Control Survey for King County. Medina's participating share wou.-A.d approximate $389. 154 Mr. Clark was present to e:cplain the survey and to answer questions. It is a basic survey made by the National Ocean Survey (formerly the Coast & Ueodetie Survey). On certain points, permanent posts on longitude and latitude will be located, increasing the accuracy of all surveys, updating past surveys to present day standards, and resetting monuments. The number of monuments will depend upon population density, but will be placed about every 2 to 5 miles apart. All local surveys will be tied to these monuments, and the monuments will be on all national geodetic datum. All the survey results will be tied into the federal network countrywide. it is planned to have local governments participate in the cost by 25% and the geodetic by 75)%. Satellite stations will be located throughout the area. The question arose as to whether or not Medina would" have a satellite station and if not, would one be located within useable range. Although August 1 is the recommended date for a ccmaittment, it was suggested that the matter be continued to the August 9 meeting, and that $389 be the maximum participation.

Bellevue asks that our counter proposal be broadened to something more than a flat offer of 40¢, and that the counter offer be accompanied by a breakdown substantiating the counter proposal. Mayor.= Derril appointed 2tichard Marshall and Herbert Stevenson to make a study)on the library contract, and to meet with the Mayor of Clyde Hill to determine any action contemplated by Clyde Hill.

Mayor DeFriel noted that the maintenance agreement with Clyde Hill, relating to 84th, had been signed. The handrail for N.E. 12th Street, as proposed by Clyde Hill, was discussed. More meetings are scheduled for discussion of this handrail. Clyde Hill opposes a cabled, center light at 24th and 84th intersection. Four arms with one signal head on each arm would mean eight lights. Four mercury vapor lights are recommended as street lighting at 24th. Lights at 20th will be decorative. A vapor light is recommended for 86th, on the Clyde Hill side. Mayor DeFriel in- dicated he would have enquvries made to determine if a floodlight could be put on a pole, as a demonstrator - and opinions could be formed during ensuing months as to its beauty and effectiveness. The City Manager was asked about the delay in moving the stops and striping at the intersection of 12th and 84th. He was directed to get a letter of approval from Clyde Hill and to proceed with the work at that intersection. Mr. Panchot asked the City Mar.Fyger to contact the highway department regarding increased noise on the EveriMeen Bridge. He felt that the concrete has worn, and that a little blacktop near the grating may be all that is needed to eliminate the noise. Dick Foster of CH2M was present to discuss the over -lake Drive bulkhead. Although the original cost estimate was $30,000, Mr. Foster felt it may be advisable to anticipate a 10% increase, :im as much as the estimate was made a year ago. If the work is not done this scummer, he recommended that it be delayed another year 1 55 and not undertaken in the winter months. The bulkhead appears little different now than. last Fall, but wood does rot, and it is difficult to foresee what may happen, as some slippage is evident. He illustrated with drawings, the total length of the proposed bulkhead - 96 feet, creating an additional 16 feet on one end and 8 feet on the other, in order to establish absolute bulkheading. He outlined a procedure of advertising for bids now, opening date to be August 6, and the award date is August 9, allowing 30 to 40 days for completion, with the project completed by October 1, prior to wet weather. Mr. Panchot recommended that adjoining property owners, using the road below the bulkhead, be enjoined in the project. He recamnended that the City Manager, City Attorney and engineer Dick Foster contact the property owners and talk to them of what is caning. it was moved by Mr. Panchot that the council take the fol- lowing action with respect to Overlake Drive: (1) Request the City Manager to notify adjoining property owners as soon as possible, arrange to meet withi;them for the purpose of discussing their liability in the matter, and to discuss the proposed project with the City Manager, City Attorney and engineer Dick Foster, and, (2) Have the project, based on the CH2M plans out for bid, with the under- standing bids be reviewed in light of costs, funds and participation by adjacent property owners, by the next council meeting, and, (3) tteview the bids at the next regular meeting on August 9, 1971, and determine if bids be accepted or rejected. The motion was seconded by Mr. Frost; carried unanimously. The City Clerk assigned position numbers for election purposes as follows: Mayor Jay T.

Mayor DeFriel noted that in past years the people had voted in four unlimited bond issued for park acquisition and street improvements, and that fire protection had increased in millage. The City has met all these obligations, without exercising its given authority to increase the millage. By so doing, the City became caught in the tax levy freeze.

Chief Anglin made reply to several of those opposing signalization, and in each case, pointed out the need for signals, both for pedestrian safety and for the flow of traffic, particularly during inclement weather. Councilman Lund discussed the opinions of Mr. Hoffman, indicating that statistics often differ, as interpreted from written data, to actual living with the particular situation, and that the duty of the City is to provide for the welfare and safety of its citizens. Councilman Marshall made a summary of studies and recommendations made, up to the present time.

On a bid basis, they proposed a cost of $15,014.00 with the City owning the lights and doing all mainten- ance of above and underground facilities, at a cost of $1.10 per month per lamp. The bid would now be revised. If funded by Forward Thrust, Puget Power may not own the system. With 32 lamps and fifteen foot standards, the cost would be $9,910.00 at $2.55 per lamp per month, and Puget Power would. take care of all poles and wiring, which seems to be the most feasible offer. Mr. Bartel noted that no lights are included for the intersections of 84th and 12th, 12th and 86th, and that it is his intention to discuss this matter with Mayor Lib Tufarolo. Specifications for the signals are now in the hands of Forward Thrust, and hope- fully, the bid call will. ber made soon.

A letter from Clyde Hill Mayor Tufarclo was read, asking Medina's approval for the signalization project on 84th Avenue N.E. Following an on -the -site inspection, Council members felt the present location of the stakes was not in accordL;with the design. It was explained the present location is necessary in order to prepare new specs and drawings. I7r. Pneuman recommended that Council approve the general location of the poles, to get ahead Frith the specs and bid call. The City Manager was directed to write Clyde Hill, asking that the new drawings and specs be shown to the Mayor and Manager of Medina prior to calling for bids. Decorative lighting was discussed and a formula for awarding the bid without call. There will be 32 lights, 150 feet apart. The lights are selected and are to be financed by Forward Thrust. Puget Power proposed to do the work for $9,910.00. Puget Power will maintain the system, and the cities will pay $2.55 per month per light. If the contract were divided equally, each city's share would be under the $5,000.00 maximum requiring no bid call. Consequently, the contract must be divided into tow contracts. Attorney Chadwick stated his research with the attorney at the Association of Washington Cities has indicated this may be done by adding an addendum to the existing maintenance agreement, said addendwi giving Medina personal property within Clyde Hill. It was moved by Mr. Panchot and seconded by Mr. Pneuman that the following addendum be added to the maintenance agreement between Medina and Clyde Hill, concerning 84th Avenue N.E..... "Resolved, that the approi�riate officer(s) of the City be authorized to execute an addendum, in behalf of Medina, to the 84th Avenue N.E. Maintenance Agreement with Clyde Hill, dated June 30, 1971, for installation of decorative lighting, at a cost for each City of less than $5,000. The first eight lights on the Clyde Hill side, south of 24th Street, be the property of Medina and maintained in Clyde Hill under indefinite, irrevokable license, all to the end that an equal number of lights on the boundary portion of 84th be owned by each City with lighting of the street at equal cost to either." It was moved by Mr. most that the Claim Roster be accepted as presented - Current Expense #7486 through #7556, Street #2356 through #2376 and Par'., #30. The motion was seconded by Mr. Panchot; carried unanimously. —_ The City Manager reported on the suggestion made by Mayor Lund that a review be made of the City's insurances. In the past, the City has acquired insurance on the recommendations of its agent, Parker, Smith & Feek. The City Manager contacted the area's only insurance consultant, Mr. B. C. Day, who estimated a review of the present insurance program would take 10-15 hours at a, cost of $350 - >525. Another alternative would be to make our own review, and, at an approximate cost of $ll}0, have Ns. Day review our findings. Discussion followed, and in view of the total cost of all the City's insurances, it was determined a study may be very worthwhile. It was noted that Yarrow Point had recently made an insurance study. The City Manager was directed to committee with Mayor Lund, Councilman Marshall and Mr. Hoffman of Parker, Smith & Feek, to ma'::e an in-house study and to call Mr. Day to submit his :recommendations based upon this study, at the short hour, low cost proposal. 166 The City Manager discussed expenditures proposed in updating and maintaining City Hall, to be funded from the Cumulative Reserve 7'-.-Civic Center. He recommended: (1) That 20 new chairs be purchased for the public area of Council chambers, at a cost of 59.00 each, (2) that a folding partition be installed, to separate for purposes of privacy and noise reduction, the Court Room area from the trafficked entry fray to the Clerk's office. Approximate cost, $700. (3) That the: exterior of the building be painted, as a preservative measure. Using our own labor, approximate cost U 20 .for paint only. Discussion followed, particularly as to the need of the partition, or if needed, more effective ways to reduce noise. It was moved by Mr. Panchot that Council, approve painting the exterior of the building. The motion was seconded by Mr. Pneuman; carried unanimously. It was moved by Yr. Pneuman that Council approve the purchase of 20 chairs. The motion was seconded by Mr. Panchot; carried unanimously. Mr. .Marshall asked that the existing chairs be stored and not disposed of, in the event mere than 20 chairs are needed in the Councils oom. Mr. Pneuman asked for time to _,rake a study of wood/alternate/partitions. Pir. Panchot suggested that cost figures be obtained to do a thorough job, such as carpeting, accoustical ceiling tiel, etc. It was recommended that the visual and sound problems be related to the Planning; Commission and the Park Board, for their recommendations. Council, at the next regular meeting, would review both these recommendations and cost figures. Council reviewed and a,),)reved of the Equipment Rental Schedule, as presented by the City Manager. In the past, only a limited labor .fee has been charged to the Towns of Huntts and Yarrow Points for street maintenance, at a less to the City of Medina. The developed rental schedule is needed to offset this 1css. It was moved by P'r. Panchot that the Council ado-ot Resolution {107, amending the Personnel Rules, to maintain the 10 holidays, but to exchange Line ln's Birthday for the day following Thanksgiving Day. The .,potion T-as seconded by Mr. Parshall; carried unanimously. Mayor Lund thought that a skeleton crew should be on duty on the day following Thanksgiving. It was noted that Counc:ilma,n Fneu-.anls oast position on the Planning Commission must be filled. Mayor Lund stated the appointment would be made at the next regular pie et ing . Mayor Lund app:.ointed Councilman Frost to the City of Iediria audit committee, to serve with Councilman Stevenson. Mayor Lund appointed Kv . Marshall and the City Manager to a committee to .study water protection and safety in Cozy Cover and Fainm ather Bay. This committee will work. with the Mayors Barton and Sandaas of the Points. The Manager was directed to notify the Town Mayors of the formation of this committee. The design of street signs, as developed by the Planning Commission *as discussed. A sample sign has been installed at 2Lth and 84th. It was moved by IIr. Pneuman that the Council approve the recommendations of the Planning Commission for this uniform street sign design„ The motion was seconded by Ex. Frost; carried unanimously. Mayor Lund expressed his thanks and aprreciation is the Planning Commission for its months of time and effort expended in creating the design. A comprehensive plan of development for City Hall Park was discussed. The plan was originated by landscape architect Bill Tally, and was the subject of months of study by the Park Board. DraT-aings of the plan, as reco-mended by the Par': Board, were on display and were reviewed by Parr Board Chairman, John Powers. It was moved by Mr. Marshall that the Council adopt the reco.11endaticns of the Par" Board on the comprehensive plan of development of City Hall Par'::. The motion was seconded by Mr. Panchot; carried unanimously. 16i Discussion follvoed as to priorities, in the development, inasmuch as present available monies are limited to �3,660, derived from easement rights. The majority of members felt priorities to be the concrete walk along the bulkhead, and the game area around the sewer pumping station ... that tree planting may have to be done on a donation basis. The City lanager was directed to procure bids on all phases, such as concrete walks, game area, tree planting, ground cover, etc., and submit to Council for consideration at the next regular meeting. The Annual report of Chief Anglin was reviewed, and Mayor Lund commended the Chief on another well done annual report. Miscellaneous comments included discussion on the failure of Eastside Disposal to c:llect garbage during the creek of snow; on the pro -posed licensing of bicycles, and the hone that some emphasis will be placed on educating child riders on road rules, etc.; and on the muddy domestic grater that District �68 is apparently serving from the Clyde Hill storage tan'..

Medina will own 16 lights, 8 on each side at $2.55 per lamp per month to cover replacement, maintenance and power - a contract figure of $4,955.20. Improvements to City Hall were discussed. The City Manager reported on the recommenda- tions of Omer Mithun - that the ceiling tile be omitted; that the carpet be laid at once, and that a sight barrier be installed. It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that the carpeting and sight barrier be installed, not to exceed a cost of $1,300. The motion was seconded by Mr. Pneuman; carried unanimously. rVEre-1 it The proposed plan of development for City Hall Park was discussed. The City Manager explained that the priorities included adding additional rocks to the shoreline, installing steps on the: "adult" side of the jetty, the planting of trees and shrubs, and laying a path to the shop area. If needed, a path may be laid alongside the bulkheading. Approximate costs were: Steps $300 Trees and Shrubs 1,600 Path to shop 500 Rocks 550 Rockery pathway 1,000 At a later date City employees will const=t the brick, adult game area. The City Manager reported that all required information has been forwarded to Mr. Witzeman of the Rual Metropolitan Fire Protection Service in Scettsdale to expedite the fire study, and that lie is hopeful of an early reply. The proposed islands at the intersection of 84th and 12th were discussed. The Mainten- ance Committee recommended that the islands be filled with asphalt. The City Manager reported that because the project is so small, he was unable to obtain more than one bid, that of Blacktop Pavers. The bid is $550 for labor and material, and a quote of an additional $300 to fill. the islands with asphalt. Any work in excess of $500 will, by clauses of the Maintenance Agreement, require the approval of both councils. Discussion followed on various fill materials, i.e. astroturf, gravel, live materials, etc. It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that the City Manager proceed with the triangle plan, not to exceed $900, and with the fill material to be decided upon later.

The motion was seconded by Mr. Stevenson; carried unanimously. Mayor Lund appointed Councilman Fred Pneuman ex-officio to the Planning Commission. The City Manager reported that the City's backhoe has broken down, and estimates of repairs amount to $2,950. He offered no recommendation at the present, but stated it may be wiser to consider a new rig, on .a lease -purchase plan, than to make such costly repairs to an obsolete piece of equipment. Dogs were discussed; possibilities of a leash law; stricter enforcement of dog control. The City Manager stated he is making a study on tightening the City's dog ordinance and would have some proposed ordinances for the council to study at the April or May meeting. Mayor Lund read a letter from the United National Association, suggesting the City appoint a Chairman by October 1972. He stated he would send for the pamphlet to get the details. Councilwoman Edmonds noted that citizen Mrs. George Miller has been active in the organization for many years. Councilman Pneuman spoke of the area adjacent to the new Overlake bulkhead, noting that on one side the pavement is down, and the other side shows a cracl,.

The motion was seconded by Mr. Stevenson; carried unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 9:58 P.m. Respectfully submitted, Mayor City Clerk f 1: The regular meeting of the Medina City Council was called to order by Mayor Lund at the Medina City Hall at 8 P.M., Monday, April 10, 1972. Councilmen present were Messrs: Frost, Lund, Marshall, Panchot, Pneuman, Stevenson and Mrs. Edmonds. It was moved by Mr. Panchot that the minutes of the March 13, 1972, meeting be adopted as corrected - paragraph 4 to read, "A letter from Eastside Disposal was read regarding service problems during the period of snow. No further action will be taken at this time". The motion was seconded by Mr. Frost; carried unanimously. Mayor Lund recom- mended the paragraph 8 read, 1116 lights, 8 on each side at $2.55 per lamp per month, to cover replacement, maintenance and power". Mr. Roy Sorenson, Local manager for the Metropolitan Transit Bus Service was present in the audience to speak to Council on the financial condition of the company. Fare box revenues will no longer support the company. Runs to Medina stopped carrying a pay load about four months ago, due mainly to rising costs. The question is - do they raise fares and lose passengers, starting that vicious circle again, or do they cut down on the service. Present plans are to cutback on service to Medina by deleting Saturday service, cutting back to one "shopper" run during off-peak hours, and reducing the number of runs during peak hours, such as 8:15 AM to Seattle and 3:00 and 4:00 P.M. return trips. This would represent the first change in service since 1962. King County leases the equipment and the Company is a Managing Company. Studies have shown a need for a 10; increase in fares and a 10% reduction in service. Action is expected within the next two months, with the first step being an approach to the Price Board, and, if favorable, followed by an application to the State Public Utilities. Certain other cities, such as Kent, Auburn, Des Moines, Renton and Mountlake Terrace subsidize the transit system, but any subsidy must be done through contract with King County. If today's schedules are to be maintained, it is quite probable the company may seek a subsidy from Medina, but at the moment nothing is definite. The City Manager informed the Council that the City was awarded a new radar system valued at $1,125.00 through the Federal Highway Safety Act. A company representative will give a demonstration on the machine at City Hall on Friday, April 14, in the -- morning. A letter was read from the State Highway Department regarding a plan to landscape in the vicinity of the Toll Plaza, about the end of April a plan will be submitted to Council for approval - or perhaps for referral to the Park Board and Planning Commis- sion. Letters on this will be sent to Thornton Thomas and Jay T. DeFriel, Jr. A letter from Building Inspector Robert Ramalay was read, regarding the height of handrails on residential decks. Mr. Pneuman stated he had checked on the matter, that the Uniform Building Code people could give no valid reason for changing the height from 36" to 42", and that the Model Duelling Code calls for 36", as does every other code. It was :moved by Mr. Pneuman that proposed Ordinance No. 275 be adopted, with Section 1 amended to read, "Guardrails shall not be less than 36 inches in height in I and J:a occupant' zones; otherwise not less than 42 inches". The motion was seconded by Mr. Stevenson; carried unanimously. A letter from the engineering office of CH 2P•was read regarding instability areas on Overlake Drive. Mayor Lund acknowledged that certain recommendations and studies had been made in the past, but the only true action to follow was the reconstruction of the bulkhead. He asked Council opinion on forming an Ad Hoc committee to review past history and recommendations, to establish cost estimates, priorities, methods of financing, etc. Mrs. Edmonds wished particular emphasis to be placed on 84th on to Lake Washington Boulevard. Mayor Lund appointed an Ad Hoc committee of Mr. Stevenson, Chairman, Richard Marshall and the City Manager, Robert Bartel, to determine what should be done, what can be done, and how to :finance projects. He suggested the committee meet Friday afternoon or Saturday morning. A proposed ordinance on tree control will be mailed to Council members for study and for consideration at the May 8 meeting. John Powers, Park Board Chairman, was present in the audience. He stated the Board had made a study of numerous ordinances and elected to pattern off that of Ellensberg. The City Manager stated a review of the City's insurance policies revealed no need for additions or alterations. He stated he had expressed his thanks and appreciation for donated services to Mr. B. C. Day, Insurance Consultant. 172 Puget Sound representative John ATordgren was present, and presented tr the Council a proposal, already approved by the Planning Commission to replace existing City cobra head lights with a Tom and Country style light such as recently installed along 811th. The City has 44 old incandescent lights and 17 cobra head lights. There has been a recent rate increase, amounting to $75.90 bi-monthly. As it is now) the City pays $430.30 bi- monthly for City lighting. Converting to the new lights, 1:.000 lumin, it would reduce the cost by $199.20 to $311.10 bi-monthly. The City could have 46 additional lights for $1i30.30 it is now paying. The Planning Commission has recommended three new woodscape poles at $480.00 to be placed along 12th Street, running along the side of Medina Park. Attorney Chadwic'.k noted that a contract for the Tcirn and Country lights contained a third party damage clause. It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that the old 62 lights be replac;c by the Town and Country lights, as well as the three posts along N.E. 12th Street. The motion was seconded by Mr. Frost. Free Pneuman voted "Nay", with all others voting "Aye". The motion carried by a majority. The City Manager was directed to not install any new, additional lights until Council has approved of them. It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that the Claim Roster be accepted as presented - C.E. #7697 through #7777, Street #21,21[ through #2U 5 and Park #3?. The motion was seconded by Mr. Frost; carried unanimously. Mayor Lund informed Council members of forthcoming vacancies on Boards and Commissions. He recommended the appointments of Fredericl> Voorhees to the Park Board - Colin Radford and Hm. Scott to the Planning Commission and Benjamin Gantt to the Board of Adjustment.

Nunnell - effective immediately, and to expire on June 1, 1975. The motion was seconded by Mr. Pneuman; carried unanimously. It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that Benjamin J. Gantt,Jr. be re -appointed. to the Board of Adjustment, to serve a term from June 1, 1.972. to June 1, 1976. The motion was seconded by Mr. Panchot; carried unanimously. Chief Anglin reported to Council that he had conferred with Chief Doss of iirkland Police Department who regretted that Kirkland could see no way of,accommodating any of the City limit offenders in the 'Kirkland jail. He offerred the Medina Police Department use of Kirland's FT camera, if Medina had. its o*an projection equipment. Ordinance #105, recently adopted by Hunt's Point, to create an anchorage area in Cosy Cove was discussed. Hunt's Point inquired if P,Jedina wuld create similar anchor- age in Fairweather Bay. Chief Anglin reported the police are presently com^.itted to patrolling the area - that, this moorage would necessitate less patroling, allowing WO feet of moorage and 800 feet of play area. He state Fairweather Bay" had experienced no moorage problems. It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that the City Manager advise Hunt's Point, that Medina is not prepared this year to adopt such an ordinance but will take another loo'.c at it next year. The motion was seconded by Mr. Frost; carried unanimously. City Manager Robert Bartel explained to Council that it became necessary to again _ call for bids on a bac':hoe, since we failed to call for a performance bond on the first call. New bids were opened at 10:00 A.M. this date and came in lower than the initial bids. Today's bids received were: International Harvester $6,825.00 Cascade Ford ;65937.50 For various reasons, as itemized for the Council, the City desires to accept the bid of Cascade Ford. A resolution, relative to the reasons, will be presented to Council at the June meeting. It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that th-s "ity accept tie bid of Cascade Ford for $65937.50. The motion was seconded by Mr. Pneuman; carried unanimously. It was moved by Per. Marshall that the meeting adjourn. The motion was seconded 1A by Mr. Stevenson; carried unanimously.

Respectfully submitted, .'✓ Mayor City Clerk The regular meeting of the Medina City Council was called to order at 8:00 PM on Monday, June 12th by Mayor Lund at the Medina City Hall. Council members present were TJilma Edmonds, Mr. Frost, Mr. Lund, Mr. Marshall, iir. Panchot, Mr. Pneuman and Mr. Stevenson. It was moved by Mr. Panchot that the minutes of the May 8, 1972 meeting be approved as presented in draft. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Edmonds; carried unanimously. Mayor Lund announced that he had invited members of the Board of Adjustment and of the Planning Commission to attend this Council Meeting in order for the City's elected and appointed officials to hear a presentation on the concept of Planned Land Use Develop- ment. The Ordinance on PLUD was passed in 1967 and the tune is approaching when the city may be dealing more with this concept of development. Mr. Mithun is presently Chairman of the Planning Commission, as well as being well versed in PLUD's. The Mayor felt each body, Council, Boards and Commission should be briefed on the roll each plays in the progression of a PLUD. Benjamin J. Gantt, Jr., Chairman of the Board of Adjustment asked to be heard before Mr. Mithun commenced his presentation. Mr. Gantt, speaking as an attorney and as Chairman of the Board of Adjustment, opposed any presentation by Mr. Mithun for several reasons; that Mr. Mithun is currently involved in a PLUD in Medina being retained to design the development; that the application has already been before the Board of Adjustment at one meeting, and will be before the Board again tomorrow night; that it may not be legal/or may be a conflict of interest; Medina has been a City of high standards of conduct, and this total involvement may be something well worth reconsideration. Attorney Chadwick and Councilman Panchot recalled similar cases in Canada and Kits4p County and concurred with the opinion of Mr. Gantt. Mayor Lund stated Mr. Mithun may be excused from making the proposed presentation. At a later date he hoped to have such a presentation made by a disassociated architect. Mrs. Senear asked that notice of such a presentation be published in the Newsletter or the Bellevue American since public interest in PLUD's is rising. A letter from Omer Mithun was read regarding his involvement in the current PLUD and his intention of absenting himself from all meetings and voting. A letter from Clyde Hill was read in which Clyde Hill confirmed the agreement made by the respective 814th Maintenance Committees to participate 50/50 in a future sidewalk on the west side of 814th Avenue between 2I4th and 28th, in exchange for Medina partici- pating 150/50 in the construction of a handrail along 12th, from 814th to approximately 86th Avenue. Council expressed satisfaction with the letter of agreement, together with excepts from the Clyde Hill Council meeting on the agreement. A letter was read from the King County Executive office regarding Metropolitan transit service to Medina and the proposed participation of $111.00 per month by Medina. The City Manager stated he desired more time before recommending any action, in order to learn the reaction of other nearby incorporations, who are discussing the matter at their respective meetings this evening. It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that the Claim Roster be accpted as presented - CE #7778 through #7864, Street #24 46 through #21459 and Park #34, but that the typing errors in CE #7808 and ST #21452 be corrected to reflect the true amount as shown on the voucher. The motion was seconded by Mr. Frost; carried unanimously. It was noted that the proposed tree ordinance will be discussed at an advertised Public Hearing to be held at the next regular meeting, July 10, 1972.

The motion was seconded by Mr. Panchot; carried unanimously. It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that the Council Adopt Ordinance No. 278, amending Ordin- ance No. 2114 regarding the height of fences and permitting non -view -obstructing fences such as used around tennis courts.

A Public Hearing on the program will be advertised for July 10, 1972 - the next regular meeting date. It was recommended by the City Manager that Earl Johnson be reappointed to the Civil Service Cammission. He recommended that the appointment be deferred to the next regular meeting in order that it be confirmed by Mr. Johnson, who is currently out of town. Mayor Lund noted that three vacancies exist on the Design Board and recommended that Mrs. Ruth Howell, Planning Commissioner and Mr. Edward dells, Landscape Architect, be newly appointed, and Omer Mithun, Architect,be reappointed - all to serve four year terms commencing on this second Tuesday of March 1972 and terminating on the second Tuesday of March, 1976.

The motion was seconded by Mr. Panchot; carried unanimously. The City Manager reported that the Highway Department states a bid call has been made to perform the work scheduled for reducing the noise on the Evergreen Point Bridge, and that more information will be available to him by the end of June. Mr. Pneuman wondered if the City is getting a run-around since his recent inquiries disclosed that the Highway Department had not yet determined the materials to be used for this contract. Mrs. Edmonds stated she would make further inquiries into the State's schedule. It was noted that the Renton job, scheduled before the Evergreen Bridge is not underway.

Council members present were: Mrs. Edmonds, Messrs: Frost, Lund, Marshall, Pneuman and Stevenson. Councilman Panchot was absent. Mrs. Edmonds moved that the previous minutes of the July 10, 1972, meeting be approved as submitted in draft. Mr. Pneuman seconded the motion, carried unanimously. The attorney, George Karg:Lan:is, was in the audience with colleages to represent the Eastside Disposal, Inc. presenting a new proposed contract and to respond to questions which the Council might have. With the new proposed contract, Eastside Disposal intend to equalize the area by reducing Medina's present service rates twenty-five cents a month to the rate presently paid by Bellevue's citizens. They offer to pay the City of Medina 5.5% of the gross receipts received from the residents of this city on a quarterly basis in exchange for five (5) year contract. The contract rates are subject to change due to cost of living increases and labor increases governed by the Washington State Utilities Commission. Mr. Kargianis wanted to leave a copy of the Clyde Hill resolution for reference. Approval of the contract by both parties would be effective 1 October 1972. A discussion followed including citizens present in the audience covering various points of the proposed rates involving distances for additional charges, identify- ing terms such as a unit (considered to be two garbage cans per residence), and end- ing after the City Manager advised the 5.5% of the gross receipts is an increased amount based on usage of 900 homes. It was felt some clarification was still needed from the Eastside Disposal., Inc. before action could. be taken. The City Manager made a brief summary of a five page letter received from the Rural Metropolitan Fire Protection Company. The main message was that they believed we presently do have excellent fire protection. Although it was believed that there was a potential for saving, they have as much as they felt they could handle at this time. Another 18 months: might bring a change, but for the time they felt we should stay with our present service. There was no charge. Mr. Stevenson moved that the funds set aside for this study on fire protection be returned to the city's operating funds for use on other obligations and that letters be sent to Clyde Hill, Hunt's Point and Yarrow Point for their information and action on shared costs. The motion was seconded by Mr. Pneuman, carried unanimously. Mr. Stevenson moved that the Claim Roster be accepted as presented with Current Expense warrants #7959 through #8049, Street warrants #2477 through #2487 and Park warrants #37 and #38. Seconded by John Frost, the motion carried unanimously. A statement regarding the status of the PEP employees -was requested by Mr. Marshall. Council was advised that the first phase of the program has been extended to Sept- ember 15, 1972, and it is anticipated that the program will be financed for another year, however, several months lag is expected before the funds become available. A resolution endorsing the proposed Metro Transit Plan was presented by the City Manager and an outline of the intended routes read to the Council. Mr. Robert I% Shoemaker of Metro distributed maps with the planned routes and answered questions. The intended routes will not be in effect for some time and Mr. Shoemaker gave tentative scheduled dates. It was moved by Mr. Marshall that Resolution No. 110 endorsing the Metro Transit Plan be adopted. Seconded by Mr. Stevenson, the motion carried unanimously. 117 A resolution had been prepared regarding the delay of noise correction on Evergreen Point Bridge - however; just prior to the Council meeting on August 9th the Washington State Highway representative stopped by the office to advise they are starting the work on the Evergreen Point Bridge. This is not the painting as described in the newspapers but actually the work as requested to subdue the noise of crossing vehicles. The work is to be done in specific areas indicated in srawings shown the Council. A letter has been given to the Highway department stating this work is exempt from the Shoreline Management Act thereby enabling the work to begin. On the basis of the office call, letters were not sent to the legislature. Mr. Robert James was introduced and deferred to Mr. Robert Ramalay, architect, for the presentation of the Planned Land Use Development. Minimal amount of discussion foLow- ed the presentation. If there is no action within sixty days by the City Council, the project may proceed. Since an application must be in before August 25th, a meeting regarding the information presented in the study session was suggested to be on the Overlake Drive project and other street renovation. The study session covered widening, incorporation of bikepa.ths and walkways on Overlake Drive, as we111 as bulkheading. No action taken, no meeting scheduled. It was believed that an application was a firm commitment and Mr. Marshall said that; nothing should be done before the public had an opportunity to express their views in a Public Hearing. In order to have Forward Thrust funds for repairing some streets, it would be necessary for the King County Resolution to be amended. This may be done with a resolution by the City Council adding streets to the ones listed on our Six Year Comprehensive Street Improvement Plan. Mr. Stevenson moved that the Mayor be authorized to sign Resolution No. 111 to be adopted naming designated streets, i.e. N.E. 8th and 82nd Avenue N.E. so that :it may be allowable for Forward Thrust funds for repairing, including walkways and bikepaths. Mr. Pneuman seconded the motion. Resolution No. 111 was adopted, carried unanimously. The police report was mentioned by the Mayor as being presented with its usual excellence. It was moved by ,-i7man Edmonds that $680.00 from Cumulative Reserve #1 Civic Center fund be ,spent for the painting of the outside of City Hall. The motion was seconded by Mr. Stevenson; carried unanimously. Mr. Pnewaan moved the meeting adjourn. Seconded by Mr. Stevenson. Carried unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 9:50 P.M.

Considerable discussion followed regarding the potential slide areas, the bicycle/ walking path, the proposed two lanes, each 10 feet wide, and the path of 8 feet; the feeling of citizens residing on Overlake Drive, condemnations, if any, etc. UM It was moved by Mr. Pneuman that the City Manager be directed to submit an applica- tion to the appropriate authorities at UAB, for the purpose of preserving an option for obtaining matching funds, 10% - 90%, for the improvement of Overlake Drive. Mr. Panchot desired that he go on record as commending the City Manager on the data presented; he would favor submission of the application to UAB in order to preserve a slot now, rather than waiting two years, with the understanding that we have no financial committment, when applications will again be accepted, but wants citizenry to have an opportunity to be heard on the matter and to express their views. Mr. Marshall wants the citizens to have the opportunity to express themselves before any overtures are made for governmental funding; he felt the priority project was the slide area, which should be repaired immediately, with no delays; he hoped a Newsletter would soon be published, outlining the Six Year Street Improvement Program and the proposed improvements to Overlake Drive, to see what citizens on Overlake Drive and citizens in other areas of the City thine about this large undertaking and expenditure.

The application sought permission to qualify an acute angled corner lot of approximately 5,000 square feet as a building site, lying adjacent to 84th Avenue N.E. and Overlake Drive. The case is scheduled for appeal to the Superior Court. Attorney Chadwick further explained the history of the case, together with estimates on the cost of trying the ease, probabilities of worrying an appeal; probabilities of the City purchasing the property for another type of viewpoint/open space, etc* if a modest offer were acceptable to the client, etc. Due to committments of the defense attorney, the lawsuit has been continued from. September 13, to January 3/73. The City Manager estimated an approximate cost of $500 for backhoe work and ground cover to convert it into a street park. $1,000 purchase, plus the $500 for development have been 'the figures he has felt could be handled in the budget. He would like the work of wiping out the blackberries to get under way while we have the help. Mr. Chadwick stated he would welcome authority to make an offer of settlement. Mr. Marshall :felt council could not consider any lot size of 6,000 square feet, in direct conflict with the City's zoning code. Mr. Panchot moved that, in the matter of pending litigation of Lewis vs. Medina, Council authorize attorney Stephen F. Chadwick, Jr. to go up to the sum of $1,000 for purposes of acquiring the property in settlement, if he deems it appropriate at any time, and that Council would not consider a lot size of 6,000 square feet as a building site. The motion was seconded by Mr. Marshall; carried unanimously. Attorney Chadwick explained to Council the lawsuit of the Attorney General of the State of Washington vs General Motors, Ford Motor Company and Chrysler Corporation, before the United States District Court for Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, claiming violation of the federal antitrust laws, engaging in a combination and conspiracy since September 1970 to eliminate previously granted discounts to governmental entities in the sale of vehicles. Chief Anglin stated the City of Medina has been affected. Mr. Chadwick recommended that we trust the Attorney General to handle it for us - i.e. do nothing. It was moved by 1r. Panchot that, in the matter before the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, Docket No. 65, the City select alternate (2);.... (2) If you do not request exclusion from the class by September 18, 1972, any judgment or other disposition of the action will be binding upon you, regardless of whether it is favorable or not, and you may be required to respond to appropriate discover requests. ...and that the City reject alternate (1) and (3); (1) You may file a written request with the undersigned Clerk prior to September 18, 1972, expressing a desire to be exlcuded from the class and from the lawsuit. In that event, you will not be deemed to be a member of the class, nor will you be bound by the judgment entered in this action. You will remain free to pursue on your own behalf whatever legal rights you may have. (3) If you do not request exclusion from the class but prefer in con- nection with your individual claim to be represented by your own counsel rather than by the Attorney General, you may enter an appearance through your counsel, but not later than September 18, 1972.

If no contrary action is taken, approval is given and the PUD will be put into action, as recommended by the Planning Commission. A letter from Thornton Thomas was read regarding noise and repairs on the Evergreen Bridge. Mr. Panchot suggested that the City Manag;er write to the State Engineering Department to ask that the work include sealing of the transition span horizontal railings, to create a sound barrier. A letter from Mayor Lund to Mr. C. Pigott was read., explaining the City's position and reasoning in submitting; an application to UAB at this time, for improvements to Overlake Drive k - a preliminary step, not a conmittment. The City Manager reported that CH 214 are completing specifications for the improve- ment of 82nd Avenue N.E„ to be ready by the end of September.

Eight families have art interest in the corporation, having purchased the waterfront property and now wish to make certain improvements. The breakwater is intended to provide temporary shelter for small boats and to create a protected swimming area. Mayor Lund noted that the applicants had contacted the Department of Interior, Department of Fish and Wildlike, Washington Fish and Game, the Army Corps. of Engineers and are now applying to the City. Following the City's permission, if liven, it will be submitted to the Department of Ecology. Mayor Lund explained that in November, Initiative #43 and #43B will appear on the ballot. Under Initiative #43, the powers lie with the State, and under #43B existing local government has a voice in shoreline development. Mr. Panchot stated he had a clear conflict of interest and would absent himself, neither participating nor voting. V The Mayor stated Council had viewed the property and shoreline from the police boat. Attorney Chadwick stated the proposed development was not a bulkhead, as defined in the City's code. Frank Pattison appeared on behalf of the Lile Corp. He stated the breakwater would be nine feet at the apex, three feet above mean high water, running 125 feet on the Corporation's frontage and 125 feet on the Sealey frontage, with one steel culvert to permit circulations. interested citizens present in the audience: Dale Dier, 1605 - 73rd Avenue N.E. objected to the aesthetics, the probability of setting a precedence, the rights of an individual to use so much lake bottom, and expressed concern over the homeowner to the north, since interrupted current may create a silty deposit. He thought sheet pile would be adequate in arresting the receding shoreline. He also stated he had no objection to a wooden dock. Charles Sparling, 1247 Evergreen Point Road, noted the waterfront is so indented that the breakwater is not visible from the Dier residence. Robert Ramano, 1645 - 73rd Avenue N.E. felt a cheaper, better and less massive way s ould be explored. 'Skip' Voorhees 3430 Evergreen Point Road, asked questions as to cost and size of the structure. Dr. H. Ricketts, 3245 - 78th Place felt this structure may set an undesirable precedence. Kemper Freeman, just north of the property felt it was a good plan, an asset, and a means of stopping erosion. Bob Keno, 7842 N.E. 21st Street questioned the adequacy of one ten inch culvert. Betty Whipple, 1215 Evergreen Point Road, stated rock is the best material to stop beach deterioration. Elcase DeButts, 3243 Evergreen Point Road felt that erosion has stopped and would get no worse unless the lake gets deeper and was concerned over a precedence. Mrs. Dier, 1605 - 73rd Avenue N.E. felt that children like to play in waves, and all small children should be supervised while swimming. Thornton Thomas, 3233 Evergreen Point Road felt the sheltering so much water would cause algae and lake weed growth. Councilman Stevenson felt a precedence may be set, and a better solution than such a massive structure should be sought. Myer -bond stated that the value of waterfront property is now so high, a person should be able to make use of it. Councilman Marshall stated rock is the best breakwater material. Mrs. Edmonds stated she was concerned about the size of the structure. Mayor Lund was concerned over the lack of permits obtained by the Corporation. He recommended that the matter be deferred to the continued meeting of October 24th to allow the applicants to bring in further evidence of approval, and a list of the agencies contacted for permission. The City Manager was directed to contact some impartial expert and obtain an opinion on shoreline erosion. Dick Foster, engineer from CH 2M discussed Overlake Drive and its four slide areas, one of which was repaired this year, and others are being checked regularly. The one adjacent to the bridge is the least critical as it has a secure retaining wall. The other two areas show more cracks. A preliminary cost to repair these areas would be $3,600 - to include removal of pavements on the low side lane, to remove gravel and subgrade to a deptli of one foot, and replacing the roadbed, gravel, and to re- surface the two lanes. This would alleviate the problem for probably 15-20 years, and would provide a built-in reference point for future observations. He sees no significant seepage from the hillside. Mr. Foster hoped that the firm awarded the forthcoming work on 8th/82nd, may consent to take on this work while their rigs are in the area. It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that the Mayor be authorized to sign a resolution to request that Overlake Drive be classified an Arterial, not a Neighborhood Collector, to qualify the street for Forward Thrust funds. The motion was seconded by Mr. Panchot; carried unanimously. Mr. Foster explained that the bid call is out for the improvement of 8th Street and 82nd Avenue N.E. The streets are to overlaid, with a four foot blacktop walk/bike path running along one side. Mr. Marshall suggested that white traffic markers, the bump style, be put down to define the path and to encourage bicycles to keep within the path area. Bids on this project will be opened at the continued meeting of October 24th. A letter from Kemper Freeman requesting a restrictive covenant from the City, in order to sell his homesite, segregating it from his acreage holdings. Attorney Chadwick, together with Mr. Panchot,were directed to make a study of it, and if the proposal contained no snags, the City Manager could handle the matter. If not, the request is to be considered again at the continued meeting of October 24th. 182 Mayor Lund informed the Council of the resignation of Kay Anderson from the Park Board. He will accept recommendations for a replacement at the next regular meeting. A letter from R. M. VanSant asking City participation in forming an LID for underground wiring to serve twelve residents was brought up briefly. The manager was directed to acknowledge the letter. Since a bond issue of this size is unsaleable, the Manager would offer his/or staff/services in exploring other means of financing, together with Puget Power. It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that the Claim Roster be accepted as Yresented - CE #812.5 through CE #8198, and Street #2509 through M 34. The motion was seconded by Mr. Marshall; carried unanimously. It was moved by Mr. Marshall that the City enter into agreement with Metropolitan Transit for continued subsidation through December 31, 1972 at $111.00 per month.

Chief Anglin explained an application he had made and which was accepted for Federal Funding for a new police communications system for the Police Department. The only bid received was from Motorola, Inc. for $13,698.30. Federal_ funding is $11,353.00 and the 1972 car purchase price was accepted as matching funds, leaving an approximate $2,000.00 owing, to be split four ways: Medina $991), Clyde Hill $864, Yarrow Point $293 and Hunt°s Point $167. It was moved by Wilma Edmonds that the City accept the bid of Motorola, Inc. for $13,698.30 to provide the communications system. The motion was seconded by Mr. Pneuman, carried unanimously. At a later date, Chief Anglin will report to Council on #911, East - side Communications, police jail, etc. It was moved by Mr. Pneuman that the meeting disperse at this time, and to continue to 8:00 P.M. Tuesday, October 24th for the following purposes: 1. opening of bids on overlay of N.E.8th Street and 82nd Ave. N.E. 2. further discussion of Lile Beach Corporation proposed breakwater 3. proposed five year contract with Eastside Disposal Inc. 4. possible bids on sidewalks along 79th Ave. N.E. 5. tax levy ordinance.

Engineer Dick Foster of CH 2.i reviewed the bids received on the morning of October 24th for the overlay and the installation of an asphalt sidewalk on N.F. 8th Street and 82nd Avenue N.E. Two bids were submitted: I-Tatson Asphalt Company.......................29,656.7.3 Alternate (without sidewalk).....,,, .... *..*.20,503.35 Washington Asphalt Company ...................30,570.75 Alternate (without sidewalk).................19,650.75 The engineer's estimate for the job was ys42,631.58. Mr. other stated the `Tatson bid was reasonable, and he recommended acceptance of the bid without the sidewalk deletion. He recommended that a 10' contingency be set aside for overruns, since the bid was called by units. lie stated supervision would be required on this type of job, especially during paving, for unit tickets, collected. If Forward 'Thrust funds are used, a consultant must be on the job, Pir. Pneunan suggested that less costly unit supervision may be obtained from other agencies, such as Pacific. He suggested the bid be accepted, with the contingency that independent agencies are used in field inspection on the job, as long as someone, such as Dick Foster, picks them, but this contingency is not to preclude regular engineering. It was moved by Mr. Pneuman that the City accept the low bid of ?,.Iatson Asphalt Co. with field inspection provided by those best qualified, for the most reasonable fees, determined at the discretion of the City PZanager, and not to exceed 10`% of the contract. The motion was seconded by Ps. Panchot; carried unanimously. The City Manager reported that he had received informal bids for sidewalks along 79th Avenue N.E. and it appeared all/any bids would exceed `'>5,000.00, thus requiring a formal bid call. The engineers have set the publication for October 26th and the bids will be opened in appro %nately two weeks. A proposed five year contract with Eastside Disposal Inc. was discussed. At the present time they pay the City $1.00 per customer per year in license fee... currently paying the City $884.00 per year. The proposed contract would give the City 7 of gross receipts, approximately $1,264.00 per year. The City Manager reccrrm-ended rejection of the five year contract - (a) Five years is too long a period for contracting, (b) the City has more control on a year to year basis (c) Bellevue is on a year to year basis (d) this way the situation may be reviewed each. year. It was moved by I,Ir. Panchot that the Council accept the recommendations of the City anager in rejecting the five year contract as proposed by Eastside Disposal, Inc. The motion was seconded by Mr. Pneuman; carried unanimously. It was moved by Mr. Stevenson that the Council adopt Ordinance No. 284, fixing the tax levy for 1973.

Mr. Reece made a presentation and showed drawings of the proposed breakwater. The contractor, ILr. Barto, also spoke on the structure, to be made of basalt Bremerton quarry rock, which would blend well with the surroundings. Langdon Simons, 1013 Evergreen Point Road, spoke in favor of rocs, as against dock rr_aterials as a breakwater.

Puget Pourer advised the City (Tanager that they have run out of the units and also will order more opaque panels to have available, should the citizens desire instal- lation of the shading panels. The suggestion was made that a file be kept of protests received, and, at a later date, have a re-evaluation. The new units take l;.,000 lumin, replacing 7,000 luriin, thereby reducing the total monthly lighting; costs for the City. Some letters of appreciation for the new lights have been received..

Mrs. Linda Hanson of the Yarrow Point Park Commission presented a proposal for the Eastside municipalities to preserve the marshaland area in Yarrow Bay as an open parkland. The property of approximately 80.2 acres, presently owned. by the Austin Company was at one time intended for development into a 1700 family apartment complex consisting of one 30 story high building and the balance of the development in 13 story buildings. This is the property which might be obtainable. The interested individuals represented by Mrs. Hanson would pursue financing through IAC (Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation) with Yarrow Point as the applicant. Once completed, Kirkland Park Department have indicated that they would assume the maintenance and management of the open natural parkland since they presently have approximately 100 acres of parkland now.

He explained his survey results and varying costs. He, with more time,, will obtain additional estimates. Mr. Marshall suggested that the City Council consider proceeding in steps or phases. Mr. Stevenson moved that the engineer be authorized to proceed with (Phase 1) construction of the lower lake dam and fill both sides surrounding that dam with a berm at a figure not to exceed $2,000.00 exclusive of engineering. The motion was seconded by Mr. Pnecmwi; carried unanimously. Mr. E. F. UTacklin, Jr. presented a proposal for solid waste pick up in the City of Medina.

F. Wacklin, Jr. a retired Major of the Marine Corps. He stated they are preparing incorporation paperwork and proceeding; to incorporate.

Mr. Uacklin advised that they are seeking a contract with other cities and at the appropriate time will submit application. A copy of the City Ordinance No. 172 pertaining to garbage - solid waste was given to Mr. Wacklin. A review of the Yarrow Point Police Contract revealed that two items are really one, as boat patrol does include the boat house checks and should be listed under one specific item. After an. opportunity to discuss the matter with Yarrow Point officials, Mayor Lund will report back at the regular January 8., 1973, meeting. Wilma Edmonds stated the meeting on open burning by the Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency on December 13, 1972, brought out some opposition - particularly from some individuals and groups in Seattle.

The meeting was closed by Mayor Lund at 10:45 P.H. Respectfully submitted, Jinn Smith, Acting City Clerk MAYOR The regular monthly meeting; of the Medina City Council was called to order at 8:10 PM, Monday, January 8, 1973, by Mayor Lund at the Iiedina City Hall. Councilmen present were Mrs. Wilma Edmonds and Messrs: Frost, Lund, Harshall, Pneuman and Stevenson. Councilman Panchot was absent. Mr. Stevenson moved that the minutes of the regular council meeting on December 11, 1972, and the continued. meeting of December 13, 1972, be accepted as presented. The motion was seconded by Fred Pneuman; carried unanimously. The resignation of Mr. Malcolm Hickey from the Medina Park Board was accepted.

Stevenson moved the proposed warrants be approved as presented:; Current Expense warrants #8342 through #8405 and street warrants #2584 through #2605. The motion was seconded by John Frost; carried unanimously. Mayor Lund advised the council of the progress of the preservation study for Yarrow Bay marsh as parklands as reported to him. Resolutions have been adopted by Bellevue, Clyde Hill, Kirkland and Yarrow Bay in support of this idea and similar resolutions are before Hunt's Point as well as Medina. Some negotiations with the Austin Company, present owners of the property, may provide a contribution from that company. Fred Pneuman felt that the council would be in favor of the concept. Herbert Stevenson suggested the moral support be expressed. Wilma Edmonds moved that Resolution No. 116 regarding the Yarrow Bay marsh as parklands be adopted. Mr. Stevenson seconded the motion; carried unanimously. The notice in the Medina Newsletter regarding Park Board vacancies brought a gratifying response of ten applications from citizens. Fred Pneuman moved that the appointment of Roland Koepir to fill the unexpired term ending the first Monday in June 1973 and the appointment of Maryellen Kauffman to fill the unexpired term ending; the first Monday in June 1974 be approved. Herbert Stevenson seconded the motion; carried unanimously. It was suggested the new Park Board members be invited to attend the next regular meeting of the City Council for introduction to that body. The City Attorney advised that should City Council decide to change the solid waste pick-up service, they should call for bids. To determine the miriiorB of the citizens regarding the present service, it was concurred a notice should be placed in the Medina Newsletter asking for written comments - both good and bad, on the garbage service. The proposed five year garbage disposal contract from Fr. Wacklin was tabled. The City Manager reported a portion of the 79th Avenue N.E. sidewalk has been poured. The contract was extended another 30 days since the weather permitted only lu working days during the past month. The contractor seems considerate and conscientious. Trucks at the new construction at the corner of N.E. 24th and 76th Avenue N.E. have crossed over the sidewalk in serveral areas, and caused cracks. The City Manager is contacting Mr. Blackburn, the individual who obtained the building permits, about the sidewalks. Considerable touching up remains to be done along N.E. 8th Street - 82nd Avenue N.E. and the traffic buttons laid. Z,•7eather conditions have presented completion and an extension on this contract was granted until January 20, 1973. The bike path is four feet wide in places, narrower in other places. A field inspection on a bicycle revea:Led it does have sufficient space and it is believed the gravel still covering the path tends to make it appear smaller. The installation of a guardrail at the point on Overlake Drive where two cars went off on December 11., 1972, was suggested. The City Manager will investigate various sources of guardrails and costs. The guardrail on Overlake Drive has not been repaired as the insurance company is seeking two additional bids. No specific time was given for the award of the bid and the completion of the repair. It was remarked that painting the rail another color could enable better blending with the natural surroundings. hr. Stevenson moved that Ordinance No. 287, appropriating unaniticipated revenues to the 1972 Budget, be adopted. Fred Pneuman seconded the motion which carried unanimously. The original plan for the Medina Park dam needs to be revised. After soil tests were made the engineers determined that no rigs will be able to enter the park until spring. The City Manager was asked to inquire if the revisions will be made for the original engineering charged. To this time, the present dam has taken care of the water and no flooding has taken place along the low properties. Nine .Austrian pines have been delivered to the City of Medina in lieu of trees which died. The selection of a location for the trees will be left to the Park Board. The ordinance proposed by Water District ##68 was postponed until the next regular meeting. A representative from the Fire Department will attend. In response to whether members of the Planning Commission and the Board of Adjustment might sit as members of the other body, interchangeably, RC11 35A.63.110 of the Operational Municipal Code governing non -charter code cities of which Medina is 192 one, answered the question conclusively. "No member of the Board of Adjustment shall be a member of the Planning agency or the legislative body." The Mayor commended 'the Medina Police Department for the excellence during the past inclement weather. Some discussion regarding the Medina Police Department boat will be continued. Chief Anglin stated 'that his annual report would include the desired figures on the costs and operation of the vessel since its purchase in August 1969. Safety devices have :not yet been installed on the Evergreen Point Bridge. I`_ayor Lund was asked to write on behalf of the City Council directed to the Director of Highways, indicating continued interest in completion prior to the active boating season.

COTTER -re vacation of Street portion abutting his property. Attorney Chadwick, on request, by council, proceeded to report his findings on the above matter as The Petitioner, Mr. Cotter, awns lots 4 and 5 abutting 87th N. E. also known as Upland Rd., and that there has been previous vacation of .11 of said street adding 30ft of depth to lots 4 and 5, and the property proposed to be vacated istriangular in shape and beyond the property vacated in the past. Reference made that the City is bound by State Statute -setting out the procedures f or vacationing of Streets which in part provides that the part vacated shall belong to abutting property owners--ir to each --and problem here being that there already has been a vacation of one half. Also, additional problem now with the remaining Al which lies within the triangular line, and would not be to the benefit of the Cotter Party, but to the owners of land across the Street, to the S. W. and on a corner to the M. W. Therefore, it was the attorney's conclusion that the best solution would be other than the vacation route, and noting that the Cotter party have already made land- scaping type of improvements within this area, that the City consider that issuance of a license to improve a portion of the street Right of riay with landscaping, and cost of said license to be determined by the Street Superintendrit (i.e. City Manager). Also, the City Manager together with City Attorney and City Engineer express the appropriate conditions in the license so that total use would be con::'::dered by utilities and the like. PETITION -NORMA PEOPLES -to make use of unopened 26th St. by use of approx. 150 ft. of easement lane, from 78th N. E. to her corner property. Attorney Chadwick reported on his r.-iew and legal opinion on the subject as follows: The matter refers to a dedicated but unopened Street on the Herrin additions at N. E. 26th & 77th N. E. Mrs. Peoples owns lots 9 & 10 of this area that faces an open and improved Public Street, and one of the requirements of Medina's Zoning Code is 70 ft. of frontage on a dedicated and improved street. Therefore,in its present posture this land is not r:aliiiea for a Building Permit. Mrs. Peoples proposes that instead of improving the str et to City specification that she be permitted to provide access to her property by way of a lane meeting the City Standards for construction of a privated lane. This normally means a 16 ft. Right of Way and 9 ft. of surfacing, and a remainder being zvailable for utilities. The easement is not over private property, therefore a public easement. This particular subject has not been considered in Medina's Zoning regulations. Medina's Planning Commission acted favorably to the request. Attorney feels variance would be needed, and Board of Adjustment would decide if this is a unique condition and could rely on precious development, and that the street likely could not be realised and financed in the normal way. Conditions can be attached to the granting of the variance thus requiring that Mrs. Peoples get a license from the City to maintain a 9 ft. lane type access to her property with appropriate terms. Being( public street this would be open to the public. The licensee engaged to maintain the access to reasonable standards and save the city from liability for defects on street.

Appraisal of property is 2.4 million dollars. The owners -Austin Co. will expect to receive 1.9 million dollars, requisite for Inter-Agency-Commrittee, leaves a balance of $100,000.00 to be contributed by the six participating municipalities. However, there is a possibility that Metro might participate in relation to parking facilities and this possibly would take care of the $100..000.00 balance, At this point Mr. Sandaas invited Medina Council to participate at a meeting to be held in Kirkland on the matter. It was noted possibly the Mayor and/or the City Manager will attend. NT WHO HAD FILED CAND, Mayor Lund introduced Mr. Ed Watton, Mr. Milton Johnson & Mr. Gordon Griffes as worthy citizens who had recently filed relative to the above.

Gordon Elliot presented the very preliminary plan on the Maintenance Storage Shed and stated that the credit for same should be given to Mr. Chapman(Planning Commission member) as he developed the preliminary engineering on this and Mr. Elliot reviewed same, together with estimates and alternatives given, and thought the plans show most logical and economical structure. Basicly, the plan outlines an open pole type structure, 38' x 64' (2500 sq. ft), with cedar roof and comprising approx. 5 bays of 12ft-diameter, and longitude 2 bays of 15ft., to be located on the North portion of park property on N.S. 80th. Foundation study at site proved quite poor(i.e. 7ft. below existing grade, 5 ft. of this has been filled in). Foundation site could be relevelled (1.e, by drilling hole llft., insert gravel approx. 5 ft., and install post with concrete around same). Cost of basic structure plus design plans etc. would cost approx. $8,700.00. During discussion, Stevenson suggested moving site more to the West where foundation is better; City Attorney suggested enclosing 2 sides to prevent snow & drifting etc. ( Additional cost for adding 2 sides would run approx. $1,200.00); Mrs. Edmonds requested cost estimate of a prefabricated structure compared to present plan and/or possibly including 2 sides etc. It was also mentioned that possibly a composite roof instead of shake be used, this allowing more funds for other additional items mentioned. In the Budget there is $5,000 (Street Fund) earmarked for this project, and City Manager stated that also approx. $3,000.00 could be transferred from the Street(Overlay Portion) as said amount not enough to overlay another street. Finally, Council requested that the City Manager look into the source of revenue regarding above, and that more study be made prior to further discussion at the next Council meeting. 1) TELEPROMPTER - TRANSFER OF FRANCHISE - PREV. OWNER CRYSTAL CABLEVISION INC. 2) TELEPROMPTER - FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM - WAIVER OF PUBLIC ACCESS CHANNEL IN MEI lA Mr. Ronald Ovechka represented Teleprompter in connection with the above 2 requests.

APPLICATION FOR OPEN SPACE CLASSIFICATION - OVERLAKE GOLF & COUNTRY 2LU1LXEDINA LAND CO. Charles Warner, Board Member of the Overlake Golf & Country Club appeared before Council relative to above. This club leases property in question from the Medina Land Co. on a long term lease. If request for Open Space CIassification(recreational land) be granted, it would result in a Tax Relief for Overlake Golf & Country CZub(as they pay property taxes on said land), and a loss of Revenue for the City of Medina. Confusion prevailed regarding the classification and basis used in computing the taxes on said property, and therefore efforts be made to secure the desired information(to include 1973 property taxes and 1974 estimates etc.). It was noted that recent; assess- ment showed an increase of 5 to I over all property involved. Mr. Warner stated he thought it was taxed on the basis of Building Lots and not recreational. Matter tabled till Sept. meeting pending receipt of requested information. (NOTE: Citizen, Mrs. Senear was in favor of the above request). RICHARD L. PROUT - LETTER REQUESTING SPEED BUMP ON 82nd - NORTH OF 24th. Mayor Lund referred to the above subject which also included all side streets within Medina relative to the safety of small children from fast moving vehicles. Following lengthy discussion, it was agreed that speed bumps were not the answer, and instead lower speed limits should be posted where the need and desire of the citizens is indicated, and a letter of reply be sent to Mr. Prout accordingly. This will result in an amendment to our Traffic Ordinance. Therefore, it was requested that Police Chief, and City Attorney together with the City Manager prepare prior to Sept. Council Meeting a proposed ordinance amending the present traffic ordinance, which will list specific streets for lower speed limits, subject will then be acted upon at said meeting. Prior to the Sept. meeting, the Sept.

Mayor Lund felt he had if conflict of interest, and stepped from the Council table. Councilman Stevenson acted as Mayor Pro Tem. Study of this matter shows Skoglund property to have 99.39 feet of frontage on N.E. 12th. This is not enough for 2 building sites, whatever the minimum lot size requirement. Mr. Benton has a like problem in that his 226 feet of frontage lends itself to just 3 building sites which is exactly that to which it would be entitled under the present zoning, whereas under R-16 there would be inadequate frontage to accommodate the 4 building sites justified under the less rigorous density standard. Councilwoman Edmonds moved and Councilman Marshall seconded that the rezone application of Skoglund/Benton as outlined be denied. Passed Unanimously. It was noted that Mrs. Edmonds stated that should a plan be submitted similar to the ,Tames PUD Plan, council would perhaps review the matter.
