CONSENT AGENDA Council member Blazey moved, seconded by Council member Phelps, to approve the consent agenda, and the motion carried, with Council member Rudolph abstaining for the March 8, 2004 minutes due to his absence from that meeting, and Council member Adam voting nay. E-1 Minutes of March 8, 2004 Council Meeting — approved E-2 Minutes of March 22, 2004 Council Study Session — approved E-3 March 2004 Checks and Finance Officer's Report — approved E-4 Adoption of City Council Guidelines Manual - approved AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Mayor Odermat opened the meeting to audience participation. Karen Crenshaw, 9021 NE 10th Street, requested Council direction to save an old barn at 7722 Overtake Drive West. She provided a history of the structurally sound barn, noting her discussion with staff had revealed that no MMC language really addressed it. New owners have purchased that lot and an adjacent lot, plan to plat three parcels out of the two sites, and build three homes designed by Ms. Crenshaw. The barn is tied to the proposed middle lot, with a farmhouse style home created as a complement, should the barn remain. CM Schulze commented moving the barn to a public site would open up a public benefit aspect. Ms. Crenshaw did not know what it would cost to move the barn to another location. CM Schulze suggested staff meet with the owners and report options for Council consideration City Council Meeting Minutes April 12, 2004 Page 2 PD Gellings added everyone involved with the acquisition and subdivision of this property wanted to save the barn. However, saving it would spend some of the lot coverage allowance. The issue at hand is allowing the barn footprint to be exempt from the structural lot coverage allowance. Historical Preservation Programs must reveal public benefit to preservation of a structure. The barn is visible from Overlake Drive West. The Council directed staff to set up a meeting with the owner regarding barn preservation at 7722 Overlake Drive West, and to report back to the Council. REPORTS Police Department —Chief Chen gave an overview of MPD activity during March: • When a Medina resident was away from home on March 19, 2004, someone kicked in their back door and stole some unique items. Their vehicle was stolen and used as a getaway car. MPD recovered it a day and a half later on NE 14th Street. Chief Chen noted the disturbing trend of forced entries in Medina, as there had been three incidences in 2004 where burglars had kicked in the door. MPD was doing follow-up investigation, taking appropriate crime prevention measures and taking action to reduce fear by residents. Chief Chen was meeting on April 13 with a local television reporter to aid in identifying suspects. MPD had also obtained footage of suspects conducting this type of activity in Seattle. • In another March burglary, the resident's garage door did not close behind him, and he went to sleep. The garage door went back up, and someone pilfered through the garaged vehicles. • A second suspect had been brought to justice from a burglary that occurred over a year and a half ago. • Another individual was arrested from a burglary that occurred six months ago. • Chief Chen introduced Officer Shannon Gibson, who was present to give a presentation about protecting our children. He noted MPD, along with a few Eastside Police Departments, had worked with the Seattle Police Department in developing the Amber Alert protocol to rapidly respond and expedite safe return of children. Mayor Odermat referred to the MPD Monthly Activity Report and asked if the number of DUls had increased. Chief Chen stated Washington State Patrol had reported a 20 percent increase in DUls last year. MPD had restructured its staffing levels so that two officers were on duty most of the evening. In addition, MPD officers had participated on the Eastside DUI Task Force for several years. There were two instances in the last couple of months where individuals took the wrong ramp onto SR-520, but officers were right there to apprehend them. MPD had also recently sponsored the Anna Riley Foundation Fun Run, established after a drunk driver killed a family member. Council member Rudolph asked whether the alarm systems had been on when the burglaries took place. Chief Chen replied the alarms were not activated, even though the residents had security systems. Council member Rudolph requested an article be placed in the next quarterly Medina Newsletter reminding residents to use security systems. He also suggested the city mount cameras sunset to sunrise to capture license plates of vehicles entering and exiting the city. Council member Phelps added the Town of Hunts Point was considering mounting cameras in entry point areas. City Attorney Wines was not certain what legalities would be involved with such action. Officer Shannon Gibson announced she had been visiting classrooms to coach children how to respond if a stranger approached them. MPD wanted to ensure all elementary students in Medina were informed. Officer Gibson described the procedures that would be followed in the event of an Amber Alert. She turned to the 201h Anniversary Special Olympics Torch Run in early June, noting she was hoping the run would come through Medina. If so, it would converge at the City Hall dock, be met by Mercer Island Marine Patrol and ferried to Mercer Island. Officer Gibson promised to bring additional information to the Council as she learned it. She invited anyone interested in participating in the Special Olympics Torch Run to contact her. Development Services --- PD Gellings reported staff had been in regular contact with the project managers for the Medina Elementary reconstruction. The project managers were confident they could maintain the permit schedule provided to the city. No concept drawings were publicly available yet. The next milestone was the Special Use Permit application process in May or June. PD Gellings also indicated a stop work order had been issued for a T- Mobile cell tower construction project in the SR-520 right-of-way. The stop work order had been issued for public safety reasons. On a parallel track, the city had not yet seen the outcome of T-Mobile's appeal of the special use permit and variance decisions. PD Gellings gave a recap of action taken by the PC during their April 6, 2004 meeting, noting they had approved a Level II Construction Mitigation Plan, and had also discussed side yard setbacks. The PC would continue discussing the threshold at which a project moved from remodel status to new home construction. The PC had identified modest remodeling projects may be hitting that threshold unnecessarily. He explained when costs of a renovation project exceeded 60 percent of the value of the structure, it was viewed as a new home rather than as a remodel. PD Gellings added the city assigned a value to an existing structure as a City Council Meeting Minutes April 12, 2004 Page 3 benchmark for future work. He had received comments the value established by the city was consistently below appraised value. The PC wished to review this issue. BO Rohrbach stated if an owner initiated construction without a permit, the Code required charging an investigation fee equal to the amount of a permit, so it was essentially a double permit fee. He also suggested it might be a good idea to review whether appraised values really were high in Medina. Council member Rudolph inquired whether the residential parking area at 1237 Evergreen Point Road had been reviewed and approved. He was concerned whether the large pre-existing trees on this site had been adequately protected from construction activities and the Code ramifications. PD Gellings stated the landscape plan reviewer had been provided with hardscape as part of the landscape plan. DPW Jahn added the owners had pulled up the existing driveway and repaved it. PD Gellings promised to review the situation. He also noted the project Council member Rudolph was referring to predated Medina's current Code. PD Gellings stated the Code implemented protection measures for each project to guarantee survival of every tree that remained on site through construction. PD Gellings indicated 13 trees had been removed from that property during the course of construction because they were either already dead or were dying. Public Works —DPW Jahn referred to the Public Works report and responded to questions that had been raised by Council members. The Council expressed kudos to the PW staff for recent work completed at Viewpoint Park. Council member Adam requested a park use only sign in the parking area for the Viewpoint Park 84`h Street dock. DPW Jahn stated two streetlights were being installed in that area, and new signs would be installed to identify the dock. PW also planned to install dawn to dusk signs. DPW Jahn stated the city had received grant funds in the past for stream work in Fairweather Park; however, due to lack of funds, NOAA had tightened up oversight of that program, and was focusing only on streams that led to fish habitats. He had wanted to construct three check dams along the stream to develop pools and to recharge the groundwater table. DPW Jahn had set aside $18,000 in the budget for this year, and he had been hoping NOAA would match that amount through a grant. However, he planned to install one check dam and perform maintenance for it. DPW Jahn hoped to complete the project over the next few years. Council member Phelps suggested a city fundraiser might assist with this endeavor. Mayor Odermat announced the plans for Fairweather Park were available for Council perusal in the DPW trailer. CM Schulze clarified the whole plan had previously been approved, and Phase I was funded. Phase II was supposed to follow the next year, but was not funded by the Council. Finance Committee —Mayor Odermat indicated the Council no longer had committees at this time. Emergency Preparedness Committee —Council member Blazey announced the March 17, 2004 meeting had been cancelled, and the next meeting might be in April. CM Schulze offered to furnish him with that information. City Manager's Report —CM Schulze explained the Association of Washington Cities (AWC) was accepting applications from elected officials for open AWC Board positions. Although District No. 7 was not up for election this year, the At -Large No. 2 position was open. This position was for an elected official from a western Washington city with a population of less than 5,000. Any interested Council member was invited to complete the Information sheet in the packet and return it to AWC by April 29. 2004. CM Schulze reported the April Points Mayor's Breakfast included a discussion with Mayor Connie Marshall and City Manager Steve Sarkozy from the City of Bellevue. Topics of discussion included transportation, regional forums, municipal courts, fire services, and options for developing a more collaborative and productive relationship between Bellevue and the Points communities. Bellevue's Mayor and City Manager had offered to provide their legislative agenda and to provide monthly electronic legislative briefings to Points cities. A follow up meeting is planned to discuss Bellevue's legislative agenda and opportunities for the Points cities and towns to benefit from Bellevue's legislative staff research/reports, as well as joining their efforts when we share positions on issues. CM Schulze relayed although more than 50 customer surveys had been distributed since January, the city had only received four completed surveys. PW will soon mount a survey receptacle box on the city hall wall so that surveys may be returned anonymously. With regard to the March Permit Performance Report, CM Schulze relayed the RCW requirement called for tracking applications received during the last 120 calendar days. Council member Adam requested a format more like that used for January 2004 and CM Schulze offered to provide more detail. CM Schulze also explained staff was still City Council Meeting Minutes April 12, 2004 Page 4 working out the bugs with the city's permit software. He will follow up with the Council regarding the permit software cost and furnish an implementation status report. OTHER BUSINESS Discussion of Boarding House Regulations—PD Gellings furnished background information regarding boarding house regulations. He referred to City Attorney Wines' research which had revealed Medina's MMC definition could be improved. PD Gellings recommended refraining from any Code changes until the Council could comprehensively examine the topic of home occupations. Theoretically, a boarding house was a different land use from a single-family residence, and could be prohibited by the Zoning Code. The problem could be solved indirectly through a change to the definition of single-family dwelling. An indirect restriction already in MIMIC 17.64.010 allowed a maximum of two vehicles for employees and clients to be parked on the premises at a given time. He suggested this Code amendment process could be discussed at the Council Retreat, and they could be mindful of boarding houses during that dialog. City Attorney Wines added the overall fix should be integrated with home occupations. The Code as currently written allowed for single family dwellings to include renters or boarders as long as it was incidental to the use of the property as a single-family residence. He recommended adoption of a definition similar to that found in the Bellevue Code, but to add language specifying that the definition would not be used to discriminate against any protected class under state or federal law. PD Gellings relayed he had provided an update to the citizens who had complained about the boarding house issue. Discussion of Intersection Sight Distance Standards —DPW Jahn explained materials regarding intersection sight distance standards had been distributed for the March 8, 2004 meeting. He gave background information and distributed a Medina Streets Functional Classification Map. DPW Jahn cautioned sight distance guidelines would be a contentious issue. Medina's insurance carrier had stated there was no legal requirement for implementation of such standards, but they were highly recommended. His biggest concern was for bicyclists, as drivers could not see them. He encouraged consideration of the city's intersections with the highest traffic volume. City Attorney Wines advised Medina would be increasing its liability if the city had standards for specific sight distance and they were not enforced. He did not agree with the insurance carrier that there was no obligation in common law to provide for effective sight distance. City Attorney Wines cautioned this was a case that was ripe for liability at some future time. DPW Jahn promised to furnish the Council with the ordinance language which had originally been proposed to them in September 2003. Following discussion, the majority of the Council decided the intersection sight distance guidelines ordinance first reading should be on the May 10, 2004 agenda for a public hearing, with Council member Adam voting nay. It was noted no action would be taken on the ordinance at the May 101h meeting. Authorize Expenditure for 841h Avenue NE Tree Trimming —DPW Jahn furnished background information, noting he, PRC Chair Brazen, Mayor Odermat and Council member Adam had met with Overlake Golf representatives. Overlake wanted to participate in the tree trimming, but had funding constraints. It was explained Overlake was responsible for obtaining a variance for any fence installation, as well as the associated costs. DPW Jahn stated any trimming would only be done on Medina's side of the trees. Mayor Odermat comments from Council member Vall-Spinosa into the record which urged the Council not to spend S30,000, but rather to put that money into tree replacement over the next 30 years. DPW Jahn commented the trees had aged significantly over the last few years, and were brittle and hollow. Further, a lot of limbs and tree tops were falling. Mayor Odermat inquired about the wisdom of keeping trees if the trunks are hollow and the limbs are brittle. PW employee Burford added the standard used varied from tree to tree, but one would have to figure out how much solid wood was inside each Poplar. DPW Jahn continued the arborist had done some borings, and felt approximately 75 percent of the Poplars were dangerous. DPW Jahn stated he was meeting with two tree trimming contractors to show them what needed to be done and to obtain estimates. Council member Phelps moved, seconded by Council member Blazey, to authorize expenditure of not more than 530,000 for trimming of trees along 841h Avenue NE between NE 12`h Street and NE 241h Street, and the motion carried unanimously. Mayor Odermat added Overlake was responsible for trimming their side of the Poplars at their cost. Deputy Mayor Nunn left the meeting at 9:58 p.m. Discussion of International Building Code Adoption—BO Rohrbach furnished background information and explained the proposed changes. He noted numerous architects did not want city adoption before July 1, 2004, and were attempting to submit their projects before then. He suggested adoption with an effective date of July 1, 2004, BO Rohrbach also proposed increased fee schedules to more adequately cover the city's costs for building, mechanical and grading permit and plan reviews and inspection services. He explained the new fee schedules were in Section 5 of the proposed ordinance which adopted the State Building Code as revised, and amended the MIMIC accordingly. Following discussion, the Council moved the International Building Code ordinance to the May 10, 2004 agenda for further discussion and adoption, with an option for the International Residential Code (IRC). City Council Meeting Minutes April 12, 2004 Page 5 Update on Medina Beach Park Project —DPW Jahn furnished an update on the Medina Beach Park Bulkhead and General Improvement Project. CM Schulze added three to four years ago, one of the shoreline residents who had gone through a restoration project had talked about a grant program to encourage shoreline restoration. That resident might still be interested in assisting with this. The Council directed follow up with resident Lynn Grinstein regarding the shoreline restoration foundation/grant program. Authorize Labor Agreement with Public Works Union —Council member Adam moved, seconded by Council member Rudolph, to ratify the Public Works Labor Agreement, and the motion carried unanimously. First Quarter Financial Report —CM Schulze provided the Council with his First Quarter Financial Report in the packet. Council member Rudolph stated the city would be down about $300,000 to $400,000 per year, unless some cost cutting was implemented. Council member Phelps suggested this topic be included for discussion at the Council Retreat. Council Agenda Calendar —Council member Phelps asked that the Citizen Request for Refund be an agenda item soon, and the Council agreed to discuss it during their May 10, 2004 meeting. PD Gellings reminded the Council when they dealt with the school zoning ordinance, school signage had been deferred. The Council agreed by consensus to include school signage as an agenda item within the next 90 to 120 days. NEW BUSINESS Girdling of Trees on NE 71h Street --Council member Rudolph was concerned about lack of a police report regarding the girdling of trees on NE 7`1' Street. CM Schulze stated a similar incident had occurred on the former Dustin property. The city had filed charges. However, the way the ordinance was written, Medina's City Prosecutor felt uncomfortable with being able to prevail. DPW Jahn added after the September, 2002 tree girdling incident, his PW crew had talked with residents in the area, and everyone stated they had been gone that weekend. However, one resident did indicate he had been in the area with a chain saw, but had not touched the trees. CM Schulze clarified it was difficult to pursue a case like this, unless an officer saw what happened or there was a witness. Following further discussion, the Council requested a letter be sent to neighbors along NE 71h Street regarding the city's policy for illegal tree trimming or removal. They felt the newly planted replacement tree would serve as a deterrent to reduce further tree damage. Council member Rudolph requested MPD to reopen the investigation, interview all involved parties, and to file a report. He also suggested the penalty for such action should be increased, with an article inserted in the Medina Newsletter. The Council decided by consensus not to have MPD conduct an investigation. Enforcement of Illegal Construction Parking —It was requested MPD enforce illegal construction parking on Overlake Drive East and Evergreen Point Road, between NE 81h and NE 12 Streets. Representation on WRIA 8—The Council decided by consensus the city did not need representation on W RIA 8 EXECUTIVE SESSION It was noted the Council had met in Executive Session at 6:00 p.m. tonight to discuss personnel matters, per RCW 42.30.110(g), and land acquisition, per RCW 42.30.110(c). The Council recessed into Executive Session at11:20 p.m. to discuss personnel matters, per RCW 42.30.110(g). The meeting reconvened at 12:07 a.m. ADJOURNMENT Council member Adam moved, seconded by Council member Blazey, to authorize CM Schulze to enter into a labor agreement with police officers, as discussed during Executive Session, which was approved by the Council. Council member Blazey moved, seconded by Council member Adam, to adjourn the meeting at 12:10 a.m., and the motion carried unanimously. Mayor Mary Odermat Attest: Caroll P. Wedlund, Recording Secretary ITEM F - 2 MEDINA CITY COUNCIL STUDY SESSION MINUTES April 26, 2004 Medina City Hall 7 00 PM 501 Evergreen Point Road Mayor Odermat called the Council Study Session to order at 7:03 p.m. ROLL CALL Present: Council members Miles Adam, Drew Blazey, Katie Phelps, Bob Rudolph, Pete Vall-Spinosa, Deputy Mayor Todd Nunn and Mayor Mary Odermat Staff Present: City Manager (CM) Doug Schulze, City Attorney Kirk Wines, Director of Public Works (DPW) Shel Jahn, Planning Director (PD) Joseph Gellings, Finance Officer Jan Burdue and Recording Secretary Caroll Wedlund ANNOUNCEMENTS Mayor Odermat relayed the following: • Both Council member Phelps and Mayor Odermat attended Chaplain Mike Ryan's information session. The next one will take place on Wednesday, May 19, 2004 from 7.00 to 9:00 at city hall. • There will be an informal briefing on the SR-520 project at City Hall on April 27, 2004 at City Hall, with no questions from the audience. A more formal presentation is available for the Council at a later date, as well as an open house with the community. City Manager Schulze interjected the Council would be discussing the SR-520 project at their May 10, 2004 meeting. Council member Vall-Spinosa requested that an article be inserted in the Medina Newsletter prior to the May Council meeting. • A Port of Seattle meeting will be held at Pier 69 on Thursday, April 29 at 12:00 noon. • At the May 10 Council meeting, Mayor Odermat will appoint another member to the Parks and Recreation Commission (PRC). She had received the PRC's first and second choices, as well as the resumes of the three applicants, but would meet with any of them who wished to be part of the interview process. • Mayor Odermat attended the Women Mayors' meeting today. People in surrounding jurisdictions knew Medina Park functioned as a dog park. DPW Jahn planned to forward an ordinance proposal regarding dog control in Medina Park for consideration. This issue will be discussed at the end of the May Study Session. CM Schulze referred to Paul Demitriades' request regarding concerns about the Magnuson Park lighting plan. This Item had been included for Council information and to decide whether they wished to add it to the May 10 agenda. Mayor Odermat added the Seattle Council was expected to act on this in June. Mr. Demitriades wanted the Council to approve a resolution forcing the Seattle Council to hold hearings on the eastside prior to making a decision. She polled the Council regarding pursuing the Magnuson Park lighting issue. Following discussion, the Council decided not to take any action at this time. CM Schulze stated Council Retreat Facilitator Michael Pendleton would meet with the remaining Council members on April 27, after which an agenda will be assembled. He will know more about the agenda then. City Attorney Wines announced the T-Mobile court hearing would be held on June 9, 2004 at 9:30 a.m. in the Court of Appeals at One Union Square. He will be present to represent the city. DISCUSSION Compensation Study Report —Jim Meith, of Meith Human Resources Consulting, relayed he had conducted a classification and compensation study for the city over the past four months. He explained the process utilized for the Classification and Salary Study, noting each employee had completed a 24-page position description questionnaire. Class descriptions for vacant classifications were written based upon an understanding of the duties, required knowledge and skills. Five classifications were recommended for new titles —Patrol Officer to Police Officer, Records Manager to Police Records Information Specialist, Administrative Specialist to Administrative Assistant, Maintenance Worker to Maintenance Worker I & Il, and Planning Director to Community Development Director. He conducted salary comparisons with 13 cities. Comparison factors took into account the classification structure and internal considerations, the organizational structure and staffing patterns, as well as delivery of services. Mr. Meith noted there was an expectation of a pretty high level of service delivery in Medina, which may not be found in other cities. Another comparison factor was employee recruitment and retention. A common consideration and problem for smaller jurisdictions in a labor market with larger ones was the retention of quality employees. Currently the city's salary ranges varied from approximately 8 to 18 percent.. depending on the classification. Mr. Meith recommended a salary range of 20 percent from minimum to maximum for all classifications. The data was compiled using the median of all the maximum ranges for the comparable cities. He had used that standard City Council Study Session Minutes April 26, 2004 Page 2 to provide more consistent data, for better representation, and to neutralize both extreme lows and highs. The maximum was then established 10 percent above and the minimum 10 percent below the midpoint. Using the midpoint as the city's benchmark point with its comparables would lend itself to the implementation of a merit pay plan. Under such a plan an employee would move to midpoint of the range with standard (satisfactory) performance. Increases for "satisfactory" performance would not be permitted beyond the midpoint, employees must achieve "above standard" or "outstanding" in order to move beyond the midpoint. Movement within the range could be by set steps or based on a pay for performance formula. Those who reached the maximum of their pay range could merit an increase above the maximum of their range if they were rated "exemplary". However, this increase must be re -earned every 12 months, with continued "exemplary" performance. Otherwise, the employee's salary would revert to the maximum of the pay range. In all except four cases, the existing salary fell within the recommended range. The four exceptions were Administrative Assistant, City Manager, Community Development Director and Information Systems Coordinator. In the first instance, the employee's current salary was above the proposed maximum. In the latter three, the salaries were below the minimum proposed salary. The next step was implementation through the Council's acceptance, depending upon whether the city wanted to use the full recommendation or not. The city could phase it in if the cost of implementation was too high. It was pointed out six of the 13 comparison cities were much larger than Medina and therefore, paid higher salaries. Mr. Meith indicated the other cities used for comparison were part of the labor market with which Medina competed for employee recruitment and retention. Also in smaller jurisdictions, employees were expected to multi -task. Mr. Meith stated employee turnover was expensive, since a replacement average cost 1.5 times the salary of a departing employee. Replacement costs were calculated from the time a staff member left until a new one was trained to the level of the former employee, including training, productivity, and a learning curve. For a small jurisdiction, the hit for losing an employee was even harder. A Council member stated the salary information for Clyde Hill's City Administrator had not been included. The Council recessed at 8:17 p.m. so Mr. Meith could obtain the needed information, and the meeting reconvened at 8:24 p.m. Mr. Meith stated he would recalculate the data, including the Clyde Hill City Administrator's salary and send it to CM Schulze. For consideration of additional options, the Council requested recalculation of the salary figures to include the median maximum 75 percent and the median maximum 50 percent. Health Insurance Costs —CM Schulze referred to the health Insurance Costs report, which was for discussion only. He had also received a report from the Employee Health Benefits Committee, who had reviewed reducing employee health care costs for the city. The committee had found the Association of Washington Cities (AWC) rates to be the most competitive for the available carriers. All Plan A cities surveyed provided 100 percent of the employee premium, and the cities that required the employee to contribute toward their dependent coverage overall provided a higher contribution toward employee benefits than did Medina. The committee had determined that Medina was one of only four cities that did not provide AWC Plan A, which was more comprehensive than Plan B or a Preferred Provider Plan. They also discovered that most cities currently offered a more expensive plan with a higher level of coverage. Another finding was that cities that did not fully fund dependent coverage typically provided an additional benefit not offered by Medina, such as matching deferred compensation. Effective in 2004, Medina provided a match of different compensations for employees covered under labor agreements. This information was provided for the Council to absorb and to use as the city moved into negotiations and the budget process. He suggested prior to entering the next round of collective bargaining, the Council might discuss reaching consensus on policy regarding compensation and benefits. CM Schulze added the committee had suggested it would be appropriate to reevaluate area health care benefit coverage trends in January 2005. The Council decided to discuss health insurance costs at the end of this year, and CM Schulze offered to provide them with a position paper. The Council will furnish direction during the first quarter of 2005. CM Schulze also offered to join the Board of Directors for the Insurance Trust. 2005 — 2010 CIP/TIP—DPW Jahn stated in 2003, the CIP had been adjusted to stretch the city's capital improvement needs so the program would not exceed S600,000 in any year. However, any project below $20,000 was included in the budget process, rather than being part of the CIP. Categories I through IV constituted the city's Transportation Improvement Program, which must be annually submitted to the state, Category I: Street Improvement Projects Category II: Storm Drainage Projects City Council Study Session Minutes April 26, 2004 Page 3 Category III: Sidewalk and Path Improvement Projects Category IV: Miscellaneous Street Projects DPW Jahn continued most of the CIP funding came from the General Fund because the city's primary sources of revenue resulted from property taxes and sales taxes. City Manager Schulze suggested the Council discuss the 2005-2010 CIP/TIP during the Council Retreat. The North EGPR Overlay, Drainage Improvement and Sidewalk Project was not on last year's CIP. DPW Jahn explained the reason this project was planned for 2007 was because Bellevue Utilities planned to replace the entire asphalt concrete water line running under EGPR from the SR-520 overpass to the northern end of the road. Puget Sound Energy may install a gas line as well. When Bellevue does this work, they will have to tear up and then patch the old concrete slabs which currently provide the travel way surface. The proposal is to overlay this surface with asphalt concrete once Bellevue has completed replacement of the water line, slightly widen the road, and take advantage of this opportunity to make some much -needed improvements to the city's storm drain system along this road segment. To improve pedestrian safety, a sidewalk along the western side is also included in the project. It was noted residents had planted in the right-of-way in that area, and they also liked their ditches. DPW Jahn stated a ditch line helped to increase the quality of the water by providing a cleansing surface before it drained into the lake. The ditches were continually recharging the ground water table. Any infiltration into the city's water tables would create stability problems and hillside slides. CM Schulze added one of the reasons for a CIP/TIP was to avoid having to compress design and construction of a project into a short time frame. Not only could project compression lead to being over budget, but also residents become upset if they felt they had not been allowed to participate in the process. DPW Jahn wanted to get the neighborhood involved. DPW Jahn relayed sidewalk construction on the north side of NE 8`h Street from 801h Avenue to Evergreen Point Road (EGPR) was likely to be controversial, given feedback recently received from residents who lived there. This project was programmed to coincide with construction of Medina Elementary during the 2005 — 2006 school year. The north side was selected to complement the proposed vehicular and pedestrian traffic circulation associated with the new school. He promised to work with each resident to make the sidewalk aesthetically pleasing and to meet his or her needs. DPW Jahn stressed that much of the preliminary work for the following year's projects took place during the current year. Therefore, if the Council endorsed the CIP, especially the 2005 program, it was important that they also provide the funding in the 2005 budget to accomplish the approved CIP work. By consensus, the Council decided to consider the CIP/TIP in a public hearing on June 14, 2004. Discussion of New Parks and Recreation Commission Ordinance Proposal —DPW Jahn stated the PRC had suggested some modifications to the new Parks and Recreation Commission Ordinance that was approved by the Council on March 8, 2004. The PRC was requesting that their revised ordinance language be put on the consent agenda for adoption. Deputy Mayor Nunn suggested it be included in the May Study Session agenda. Discussion of Dog Control in Medina Park Ordinance Proposal —DPW Jahn relayed the PRC wanted the Council to consider a proposed change in the Code language governing dog control in Medina Park. They were recommending splitting Medina Park in half at the streamline bridge. The western portion would be an on -leash, on path area for dogs, and the larger, eastern portion would be an off -leash, under voice control area. By consensus, the Council agreed to discuss the issue of dog control in Medina Park during the May 10 meeting. Agenda Calendar —The Council wished to consider the Medina Elementary School Special Use Permit as a separate meeting on June 7, 2004. They also agreed to discuss intersection sight distance on May 10, 2004. ADJOURNMENT Deputy Mayor Nunn moved, seconded by Council member Adam, to adjourn at 9:39 p.m., and the motion carried unanimously. Mayor Mary Odermat Attest Caroll P.

Voicestream reinitiated their building permit application with a submittal of various supporting documents on April 13 and the permit was issued by the City on April 20. Again, Voicestream understands that this construction expenditure is at the risk of the City winning its pending appeal of the previous variance decisions in the King County Superior Court. Medina Elementary School — Yesterday the Bellevue School District applied for the special use permit required for construction of the new Medina Elementary School building. This leaves a good amount of time for public review of the application and development of a staff recommendation prior to the June 7 special City Council meeting for this case. On their own initiative, the school district has scheduled a fourth community meeting — this time primarily to present the plans as they currently stand in the special use permit application. That meeting will be from 6:30 to 8:30 pm in the Gymnasium of Medina Elementary School. Trend in Speculative Home Construction — I have suspected that we are experiencing an increase in the proportion of new homes that are built for re -sale and I have done a quick tally. In the 24-month period ending April 30, 2004, 39% of all new homes were spec -homes. In the 24-month period ending April 30, 1999, 17% of all new homes were spec -homes. I would not necessarily say that this increase should be alarming. My impression is that our new spec -homes do not stand out in any way from the typical owner - initiated new home. Planning Commission Meeting Recap — There were two items on the Planning Commission's May 4, 2004 agenda. The first item was a public hearing on the construction mitigation plan for the Buchan new home at 7807 NE 121h Street. The applicant and approximately four neighbors provided testimony. Per the staff recommendation, the Planning Commission approved the proposed construction mitigation plan with conditions. The second item on the agenda was side yard setback changes / the reconstruction threshold. The commission adopted a problem statement and provided staff with direction for researching alternative reconstruction thresholds used in other communities.

CITY OF MEDINA City Manager's Office 501 Evergreen Point Road, Medina, WA 98039 425.454.9222 www.rnedina-wa.aov CITY MANAGER'S ACTIVITY REPORT DATE: May 5, 2004 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Doug Schulze, City Manager RE: City Manager's Activity Update Permit Performance Report — Attached for informational purposes. Green Store Land Use Appeal — No new information to report. Still waiting for confirmation from opponent's attorney on hearing transcripts and record. Medina Elementary School — The City has received the application submittal for the Special Use Permit, which was delivered as anticipated on May 3rd. The submittal is currently under review for determination of completeness. Staff and consultants will be prepared for the June 7`h public hearing. Citizen Action Log —Attached for informational purposes. Homeland Security Proposal — The City of Seattle and King County have shared a proposal for a funding board, which will set policy, approve the process, and make final funding decisions related to the allocation of the local share of federal State Homeland Security Program and Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Program funds received by Region 6 The funding board proposal would created a weighted voting process for members of the board, based on terrorist threat, as determined by the Department of Homeland Security vulnerability and general population. Essentially, Seattle and King County would represent 65% of the votes under their proposal. In addition, the members of the funding board would be restricted to elected officials. This proposal has not been well received by several larger cities including Bellevue, Shoreline, Kent, Kirkland and Mercer Island. The position these cities have taken is that the Emergency Management Advisory Committee, which is made up of emergency management and public safety professionals, is more appropriate since this group is involved with threat assessment and emergency management on a daily basis. In addition, EMAC already exists so another layer of government would not need to be created — the Seattle/King County proposal creates yet another layer of government. May Meeting Schedule May 4 — Planning Commission Meeting — 7:00 p.m. May 8 — City Council Retreat — 8:30 a.m. May 10 — City Council Meeting — 7:00 p.m. May 17 — Park Board Meeting — 7:00 p.m. May 18 — Hearing Examiner Meeting — 7:00 p.m. May 24 — City Council Study Session — 7:00 p.m. 2004 AWC Annual Conference — The AWC Annual Conference is scheduled for June 15 — 18 in Ocean Shores, WA. Members interested in attending should contact Randy Reed for registration assistance. Streamlined Sales Tax Update — AWC has convened a Streamlined Sales Tax Committee to find an acceptable solution for implementing destination based sourcing and provide mitigation to impacted jurisdictions in advance of the 2005 legislative session. The work group has defined the problem as "How do we tax remote sales?" This questions cannot be answered without discussion and resolution of all underlying SST issues. The committee discussion will be facilitated by Enid Layes, who was selected by AWC as a consultant. The committee consists of 12 members from cities on both sides of the issue, who were considered by AWC to be representative of most cities. The committee's work is anticipated to be completed in December. — 864, 25% Property Tax Reduction — The average city derives 25% of its revenue from property taxes. Property taxes represent 45% of total revenues for the City of Medina. A 25% reduction in property taxes would result in a loss of $511,800 for the City of Medina. Foster Pepper & Shefelman and the Department of Revenue have concluded that a levy lid lift would exempt a taxing district's entire regular levy from 1-864. Although this interpretation may appear to be good news for a taxing district that has had a levy lid lift approved by voters, it does not address the political reality a legislative body would face if voters within a taxing district approve 1-864. Several cities have indicated they will put levy lid lifts before voters in early 2005 if Initiative 864 is approved by voters. At this point, the Initiative has not qualified for the November ballot, but there is still ample time for signature gatherers to reach the approximately 200,000 signatures that are required. Customer Service Training Opportunity — Attached training brochure from Management Partners provided for informational purposes. This training is designed specifically for local government employees. 2 CITY OF MEDINA City Manager's Office 501 Evergreen Point Road, Medina, WA 98039 425.454.9222 www.medina-vva.ov MEMORANDUM DATE: May 3, 2004 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Doug Schulze, City Manager RE: 2004 Building Permit Processing Performance Report COMMENT: The attached report monitors performance of the permit process. Permits have been separated into ten (10) categories or permit types: New Construction, Remodel and Repairs, Additions and Alterations, Rockeries and Walls, Right of Way Use, Mechanical, Fences, Re -roofing, Grading, and Landscaping. The statistics on application review time in this report reflect periods within individual reviews in which the applicant was on notice of the City's need for revisions or clarifications. During this time, the City review has been stopped until revisions or clarifications are provided by the applicant. The City began tracking application review timelines at the end of 2003. The 2003 performance has been established as a benchmark for 2004. Finally, it is important to note that there are numerous factors, which influence the amount of time required for application review, some of those factors are completely within the control of the applicant. For example, an applicant can shorten the timeline of an application by: • obtaining technical, process, and other information to help prepare complete application documents • being responsive to requests for additional information or clarifications New Construction — Includes permits for new residential dwellings, garages, cabanas, and accessory structures. Seven (7) permit applications for new construction have been accepted since January 1, 2004. Five (5) of the seven permit applications are still pending approval, which makes any analysis of performance irrelevant, at this point in the year.

The average time between application acceptance and permit approval was fifteen (15) days.

The longest period of time between application acceptance and permit approval was forty-eight (48) days. Additions and Alterations — Includes permits for additions or alterations to structures including, room additions, reconstruction, and interior alterations involving structural modifications. Eleven (11) permit applications for additions and alterations have been accepted through April 30, 2004. The average processing time was three (3) days.

Rockeries & Walls — Five (5) permit applications for rockeries and walls have been accepted through April 30, 2004.

ITEM J - 3 CITY OF MEDINA Evergreen Point Road, Medina, WA 98039 (425) 454-9222 www.ci.medina.wa.us MEMORANDUM DATE: April 28, 2004 TO: City Council CC: City Manager FROM: Medina Parks and Recreation Commission RE: Recommended Changes to MMC Chapter 12.24, Public Parks 1. Purpose — To gain City Council support for changes to Medina's Municipal Code, Chapter 12.24, which governs Medina's Public Parks. The focus of these changes is to establish better controls of Park patrons pets while visiting Medina Park so the Park can be enjoyed by a broader cross-section of the public, to reduce conflicts between dogs and Park patrons, and to decrease the damage to the Park caused by the pets. 2. Over the past several years, the Parks and Recreation Commission and the Public Works Staff have received numerous complaints relative to dogs in Medina Park. The following summarizes the range of complaints received: a. Families with small children can not enjoy Medina Park because of dogs running loose throughout the Park. Although a dog may be friendly, they have a tendency to frighten small children by running towards or around the child. Several Medina families have noted that they no longer come to Medina Park because of the free -running dogs. b. Not all dog owners pick up after their dogs leaving an unhealthy and unsavory condition throughout the Park. Although the City provides the 'Mutt - Mitts" for dog owners to pick up after their dogs, one can still find dog feces left throughout the Park which significantly detracts from the pleasant experience one expects when visiting the Park. (For Council information, the Mutt -Mitts cost the City approximately 11 cents each. In 2002, Public Works spent approximately $8,000 on Mutt -Mitts. In 2003, the amount spent on Mutt -Mitts went up to approximately $11,000.) c. Park patrons can not enjoy a nice picnic in any portion of Medina Park without being bothered and even harassed by dogs on the loose. d. There have been reports of dogs biting Park patrons. ITEM J - 3 e. There have been several instances of dogs getting into fights with each other while running off -leash in the Park. f. Other Park patrons have complained about dogs exiting the pond and spraying other visitors when they shake off or rub up against other visitors and leaving mud on pants and shoes. g. Some dog owners do not have strong voice control over their dogs as required by Medina's ordinance. Thus, when a dog is bothering or annoying other Park patrons, the dog continues even when the owner or handler tries to give the dog commands to cease or move away. h. There have been many reports of dogs on the loose jumping up on other Park patrons. i. Many dog owners or handlers allow their pets to enter the small children's playground area which is clearly marked as an off-limits area for dogs. In one instance, a dog entered the play area and proceeded to urinate on a small child's leg while the child was sitting on one of the swings. 3. In addition to the complaints received from Medina residents and Park patrons. Public Works reports that the free -running dogs are doing significant damage to the Park. Attached are some pictures of the damage. The first set of pictures shows some examples of how the grass constantly gets torn up by the dogs. The second set of pictures shows how the plantings around the south pond are being severely damaged and even destroyed by the dogs going in and out of the pond through the planting areas. The plantings around the south pond were required by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife as a condition in a permitting action approximately 5 years ago. The special plants were placed around the pond by Public Works to help stabilize the banks, as well as enhance the appearance of the pond and park all at a fairly significant expense to the City To help reduce damage to the new plantings, Public Works installed four separate gravel "ramps" for the dogs to enter the pond so they could avoid going through the new vegetation. Even with signing and a public awareness campaign, dog owners continue to let their pets enter and exit the pond through the plantings. The third set of pictures shows a willow tree which recently fell over due to a weakened root structure caused by the erosion of the bank along the pond. The Public Works crew notes that the bank of the southern pond used to be 3-4 feet from the trunk of this tree. They believe that the dogs continuously going in and out of the pond at this location has steadily eroded away the bank and undermined the tree. The drainage pipe sticking out into the pond in one of the pictures used to be only exposed right at the edge of the pond bank, thus one can see how much the bank has been eroded back over time. This problem is happening in various degrees all around the pond. As shown in one of the other pictures, more trees and shrubs are now being threatened due to continued bank erosion caused by the dogs, ITEM J - 3 4. The Parks and Recreation Commission would like to address these problems by limiting the dog off -leash area of Medina Park to the area east of the stream (bridges) and ponds which divide the Park (divided as shown on the enclosed picture). The west side of the Park would not be off limits to dogs, but for this area a dog would need to be on a leash and remain on the walking paths. The Commission feels that this would provide a fair balance for those who wish to bring their dogs to the Park and let them run free and for those who wish to enjoy the Park without constantly being challenged by dogs running loose. 5. The Commission believes that requiring dogs to be on a leash and to remain on the paths on the west side of the Park would allow other Park users to enjoy this area of the Park without having to deal with dogs on the loose, dog feces all over the grassy areas; wet dogs coming out of the pond, dog fights, and dogs running loose in the small children playground area. Additionally, most of the plantings around the south pond are on the west side of the dividing line or the dogs on - leash side, thus, implementing this policy will help reduce the vegetation damage we are currently experiencing. Public Works realizes that there may be more damage to the grass on the east side due to a greater concentration of dogs, however, the belief is that it would be better to have the damage concentrated on the eastern half than to have damage all over the Park. plus the eastern area of the Park has a more established and durable grass cover. Further, the western area of the Park contains the newly irrigated area which remains green throughout the dry summer months, thus is a more desirable area for family type activities in the summer. It is also the side of the Park where the restrooms are located. 6. It is the opinion of the Parks Commission that the eastern area of the Park provides sufficient free running space for dogs. This area has more total space and much more open space for dog running than the western side, plus there is a good gravel ramp on the east side for the dogs to enter and exit the pond. If the proposed changes are adopted, approximately one half of the Park could be kept much nicer and more appealing for patron's without dogs. The Park could then be utilized by those who wish to enjoy the Park without the constant problems caused by dogs on the loose. 7. initial implementation would most likely be a challenge, but would hopefully take hold after a good introductory public awareness campaign. Continued awareness of the new rules would be accomplished by appropriate signage. the distribution of dog usage information brochures and by on -site visits and reminders by Parks Commissioners, Public Works employees and the Medina Police Department. Currently there are no budgeted resources available to enforce the existing MMC's regarding dogs in Medina's Parks (keeping dogs within 35 feet and under voice control, or the requirement for owners to clean up after their pets). 8. Attached to this memorandum are the recommended changes to MMC Chapter 12.24, Public Parks. Again, this has not yet been put into a proposed ordinance format. If the City Council is willing to consider the proposed changes to the Code, an ordinance will be drafted by the City Staff which will amend Chapter 12.24 of ITEM J - 3 Medina's Municipal Code as noted. This new ordinance will then be brought back before the Council for review and adoption. r ti z . a e yam., W a W Q ZUJ � J W LL LL W ,. zw a W W = W z U) 0:-jf- WU)Z° Jr t �wri Chapter 12 24 Pt'BLIC PARKS Sections: 1 2.24.010 Rules applN in,, to all public parks. 12 24.020 Rules apptNing to Medina Reach Park. 12?4.030 Violation -- Penaltc.

POLICY IMPLICATION: Interest Statements or position statements will assist both elected and appointed officials to communicate a clear and consistent position relative to an issue. BACKGROUND: Materials attached are intended to provide background relative to previous City Council positions and communication related to the SR-520 project. In addition, a draft interest statement has been attached, which is intended to provide the basic framework for a final interest statement. City of Medina: SR-520 Expansion Project Draft Interest Statement Approved by Council: Introduction: SR 520 is an integral part of the regional transportation system. One of the most attractive attributes of Medina is its location to Seattle and Bellevue, two of the largest business centers in Washington. The functionality of SR 520 impacts the entire regional transportation system, which is essential to support the economic development and livability for our region. Medina's continued interest in SR 520 expansion also recognizes the adverse impacts associated with a major transportation corridor, which bisects a residential community. Adverse impacts include, but are not limited to: air quality, noise, water quality, loss of park and open space, loss of views, and degradation of property values. Context: The Washington State Department of Transportation is responsible for planning, building, and operating SR 520. The City will play an important role in helping to define the acceptable and reasonable concept for a future expansion of the SR 520 corridor and floating bridge. Guiding Principles: Future SR-520 Expansion projects shall: Measurably enhance the regional transportation system by providing congestion relief. Ensure that the expansion project will reduce congestion within the SR-520 corridor as well as local access routes from within the adjacent Points Cities and Towns. 2. Provide ample opportunity for meaningful public involvement by residents, neighborhood groups, and other informal and formal stakeholders. Members of the community should have opportunities throughout the SR 520 planning and implementation process to help shape the ultimate configuration of the roadway in Medina and throughout the Eastside. 3. Recognize Medina's investment and preservation of its neighborhoods and minimize local impacts. Project planning should acknowledge and be consistent with planning that has been done to date, and should seek to maximize providing amenities to adjacent communities while also being sensitive to community and quality of life. 4. Recognize Medina's environmentally sensitive areas and avoid, minimize or mitigate any adverse impacts. Project planning should acknowledge and be consistent with preservation and protection of Wetherill Nature Preserve, Fairweather Park and Nature Preserve, Medina Stream, adjacent wetlands, and the Points Loop Trail System. Previously Adopted Resolutions Resolution No. 270 Resolution No. 262 December 13, 1999 April 12, 1999 Solution must provide measurable Solution must provide measurable congestion relief to the regional reductions in congestion to the regional transportation system transportation system, local arterials, and Points Cities and Towns Any modification to SR-520 shall include repairs to or replacement of the existing bridge.

Funding must be through traditional State budget process, State, regional and/or local option gas tax or special levies ESA compliant stormwater run-off management system will be installed to protect salmon habitat, lake and stream water quality Preferential access to SR-520 for Points Community residents WSDOT shall adhere to City of Medina WSDOT must respect local city and town ordinances, zoning regulations, ordinances, zoning, comprehensive plans comprehensive plans, and shoreline and shoreline management plans. management plans during design and construction Dedicated technical support to the City during design and construction, funded by WSDOT Periodic meeting during design and WSDOT must work with communities to construction (at least once per quarter) provide acceptable solutions and _with WSDOT, Council, staff mitigation to the SR-520_corridor Legal costs for enforcement to be paid by the State Current Issues for Consideration 1. WSDOT has asked the City of Medina to become a Cooperating Agency. This would give the City an opportunity to review and comment on each individual report of the seventeen (17) disciplines involved in the DEIS. Obviously, this would also obligate the City to a significant amount of staff time for review and comment on each report. If the City does not agree to become a Cooperating Agency, the City will be limited to review and comment on the Draft Environment Impact Statement. Staff will need a Council majority vote approving actions necessary for the City of Medina to become a Cooperating Agency. 2. The width of the roadway from Evergreen Point Road to 841h Avenue NE is directly impacted by the Evergreen Point Road flyer stops. Elimination of this flyer stop would significantly reduce (narrow) the footprint of the freeway at this location thereby reducing the impact on surrounding Medina properties. Elimination of the flyer stops and park -and -ride would also eliminate traffic coming into Medina just to use the flyer stop as well as eliminate the need for a stairwell and elevator from the EPR lid, thus allowing more of the lid area to be utilized for open space. The City Council should develop a position on the flyer stops and the park -and -ride lot. 3. The WSDOT recently announced that a maintenance facility was being considered under the bridge at the touch down on the Eastside. The maintenance facility would include a dock and some type of watercraft to be used for bridge maintenance. The area under the bridge has a great potential for public use, such as the park area under 1-90 near Enatai. The City Council should develop a position on the location of any maintenance facility in Medina. 4. The January 8, 2002 letter from Les Rubstello (attached) was not agreed to by the City of Medina. The City of Clyde Hill, Town of Yarrow Point and Town of Hunts Point have agreed to the letter. Recently, Mayor Fred McConkey received confirmation from WSDOT that the letter remains valid. The City of Medina has been asked by the Mayors from Clyde Hill, Hunts Point and Yarrow Point to reconsider its position in regards to the letter. The City Council should consider a motion authorizing the Mayor to agree to the January 8, 2002 mitigation/enhancement letter from Les Rubstello on behalf of the WSDOT. raLYe i or i Doug Schulze From: Fred McConkey [fred, mcconkey@mcconkeydev.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2004 10:53 AM To: Jeanne Berry.

The letter includes several design and mitigation issues that are of conGem to you and your citizens, as well as the other communities around the Points. I would like to go through those issues one by one and give you WSDOT's commitment to their resolution_ Some of the items are under the purview of the Trans -Lake Executive Committee and must reside there, but WSDOT can commit to resolution of most of them at this time, as more fully described below: Lids/Bridges stated to our phone and 'email exchange early in December, I will continue to work with the four Points communities to bring a proposal to the Executive Committee on what size lids should be investigated in the EIS. In addition to "no lids", which would be tested like a "no build option" in the EIS, a range of 2-300 foot to 5-600 foot lids might be bookends. WSDOT is not taking a position on lids at this time, other than to say it prefers shorter lids that do not require tong term maintenance or ventilation and fire suppression facilities. 2. 1 can give you WSDOT's commitment that the eventual lid size decision will be as practical and equitable as possible in considering the interests of the directly affected Points Communities, as well as the interests of less directly affected communities on both sides of the Lake. 3. WSDOT prefers the use on top of the lids to be as low intensity as possible. Unless some agreement is made, it is additional area to he maintained by WSDOT forces. We would not expect any development on top of the lids. I expect that there will be an intense public process to decide on how the landscaping on the lids will look, with the desires of the community in which a particular lid sits predominant.

Where there are no lids, our noise analysis will guide us to where sound walls are required. I expect that this will be the entire length of the roadway through the Points Communities and our cost estimates to date have assumed this. Before we finalize the locations, Nye will discuss with the communities whether or not all these walls are desired. Some neighborhoods choose to maintain their view rather than accept walls. In any case, the texture of the walls and the landscaping will all be designed as part of a corridor wide landscape/architectural plan that will have flexibility for local adaptations. As with the lid landscaping referenced above, the desires of the particular community in which a particular wall is located will be WDSOT's predominant concern. 2. Whereas there are federal requirements for noise walls, WSDOT commits to be flexible on the design of noise walls to vary height and location to provide as much benefit to the communities as possible. I expect our noise consultant to work closely with the directly affected community on these decisions. 3. "Quiet pavement" techniques will be investigated for use on the roadway. 4. Sound baffling within the lids is new to us, but we will task our noise consultant to investigate the options for this, and to analyze the noise reductions. We are investigating noise baffling on the 1-5 Ship Canal Bridge and are committed to finding solutions to reflected noise. A_ lienment 1. We are working on designs to shift the freeway as far to the south at the land -fall on new right o —way— requt e wn share these with you as soon as they are prosentablc. 2. Same as above. 3. Once construction and right of way funding is obtained, property acquisition can begin. WSDOT does have a policy on hardship acquisitions. Each case would have to be considered separately at that time. WSDOT agrees to exercise its best efforts to ensure that no Hunts Points homes are eliminated as a result of the finally determined design and construction of the freeway. If the finally determined design and construction of the freeway require the elimination of Hunts Points homes, WSDOT agrees to exercise best efforts to ensure that the number of homes eliminated is the minimum necessary to complete the freeway project. Transit Stops 1. WSDOT and Sound Transit agree that the decision whether to have a flyer stop in the middle of the freeway belongs to the Points Communities. We need to work with all of the communities to get agreement on how and where the transit co:uiections RECEIVED DATE : 01/09 09.10'02 FROM _4253927071 Jan 09 02 09.23a Kenyon nornay Marshall 425-292-7071 p_4 Fred McConkey, Mavor Nimecember'.18,'.1001 Page 3 will be made. WSDOT acknowledges Hunts Point's position that there should be no flyer stop in the middle of the freeway, at least at or around 84th, and that the current bus stops at 92nd and Evergreen Point Road should be maintained. 3. As a part of the previous, we have begun discussion with Metro to serve these existing stops in a future design. 4. WSDOT and Sound Transit will follow the guidance of the four communities on this item. 5. As #3 above. HCT R/W Preservation I . The project team will provide a short palter on different options to accomplish some or all of the goals of right of way preservation for future high capacity transit. The team will not be recommending any specific course of action. This is information for the Executive Committee to understand the issue. Interchanges 1. The current design for 84' Ave NE includes the loop ramp, 2. The interchange at 92' Ave NE will be continued as a simple half -diamond to the east. Nature Preserves 1. Avoiding sensitive areas is always our first priority. Alignment options at the east shore are intended to minimize any impact to the Fairweather Nature Preserve. In order to help minimize any impact to the Fairweather Nature Preserve, WSDOT again — acknowledges Perm,- - ems posit&WAA that thr Ar snonrd-oe-noliy of the freeway, at least at or around 84th, and that the current bus stops at 92nd and Evergreen Point Road should be maintained. 2. Existing Ioop trails turning throughout the Points Communities will be maintained separate from any regional longitudinal bicycle/pedestrian facility which may be constructed as part of the freeway project. Construction 1. The project construction will satisfy all local noise ordinances, and specific issues will be negotiated before construction documents are sent out for bid. 2. WSDOT acknowledges Hunts Point's position to minimize the impacts to Hunts Point residents during construction, especially with respect to any necessary work to modify or expand the existing 84th Avenue overpass, which provides the sole means of access to Hunts Point.

I would like to point out that the resolution preamble stating "the Secretary of Transportation has identified twelve state bridges (including the I-90 Mercer Island and SR -520 Evergreen Point bridges) for possible re -imposition of tolls by WSDOT to finance ongoing preservation and maintenance efforts" is not correct. No such study or designation has been made by the Washington State Department of Transportation. cerely, JERRY A. ELLIS, Dir ctor Transportation Economic Partnerships J.AE:rb/nr cc: Sid Morrison Ren6e Mongelas RESOLUTION NO. 261 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MEDINA, WASHINGTON, RELATING TO POTENTIAL TOLLS TO FINANCE PRESERVATION AND MAINTENANCE OF EXISTING PUBLIC HIGHWAYS AND BRIDGES, ORIGINALLY CONSTRUCTED USING TOLL REVENUES. WHEREAS, the State of Washington has several traditional sources of revenue available to finance transportation infrastructure: gas tax, MVET, federal grants, and Referendum 49 bond proceeds. WHEREAS, even so, the State of Washington is considering widespread use of tolls to finance preservation and maintenance of existing public highways/bridges originally constructed using toll revenues. WHEREAS, the Secretary of Transportation has identified twelve state bridges (including the 1-90 Mercer Island and SR-520 Evergreen Point bridges) for possible re -imposition of tolls by WSDOT to finance ongoing preservation and maintenance efforts. Tolls, congestion, pricing and other toll -based schemes are also being considered to finance new highway/bridge construction. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Medina that. Section 1. The State Legislature should conf:�ne financing of existing/new public transportation infrastructure to traditional state revenue sources: gas tax, MVET, federal grants and state bond proceeds - and avoid toll -based financing schemes. Any toll -based financing must be debated by the Legislature with appropriate public input, within the spending limits of Initiative 601. Section 2. Tolls/user fees are regressive taxes, unfairly impacting all citizens on limited incomes, reducing freight mobility, and adding to costs for small business. Tolls should not be used to finance routine preservation and maintenance of existing public transportation faciiities. Res. No. 261 Section 3. Use of tolls should only be selectively considered and subject to the following constraints: Taxpayers must be assured that regulation of tolls are fair and equitable and consumer interests are protected. Tolls, similar to utility rates, must be regulated by an independent regulatory agency that would hold public hearings on establishing/changing toil rates. Any new proposed toll -financed construction projects must provide a non -toll alternative, and be subject to a public advisory vote of communities in the affected areas - the advisory vote should require a 60% majority to approve the project. Toll revenue, which may cause state spending to exceed Initiative 601 limits, must be subject to the Executive/Legislative budget process and oversight, including periodic audit by the State Auditor. Private contractors operating under the Public Private Initiative, program (R.C.W. 47-46) and establishing toll rates for new construction projects must be subject to independent toll rate regulation. Personal privacy of the individual must be protected if automated toll collection/vehicle information systems are used.

WHEREAS, the Translake Study Committee is in the final stages of developing proposed solution sets for expanding highway/bndge capacity within the Translake corridor which may impact SR-520 as it extends through Medina: and, WHEREAS, the Translake Study Committee is in the process of developing cost estimates associated with each of those options, and, WHEREAS, the Points Communities need to make clear the required mitigation measures so that the consultants to the Translake Study Committee can consider financial impacts to any expansion of SR-520, NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Medina that: Section 1. Any proposed solution must provide measurable reductions in congestion to the regional transportation system, local arterials, and the City of Medina and the Points Communities. Section 2. Any proposed solution must include extensive mitigation measures to improve air quality, water quality and reduce noise in the Points Communities. Mitigation measures must be a priority that is integrated into any solution, not an after thought or the first item to be reduced or eliminated due to budget constraints. if mitigation needs to be scaled back due to budget constraints, any project moving forward should be scaled back accordingly. Mitigation for the Points Communities includes a depressed SR-520 roadway, with continuous landscaped lids from Lake Washington to Bellevue Way (similar to the lids on First Hill, west end of Mercer Island) to reduce noise and air pollution, water treatment facilities to eliminate oil and road grime mixed with water run-off from SR-520 into Lake Washington, and resolution of the traffic congestion on local streets, e.g. 84th Ave. NE, while preserving access for Points Community citizens onto SR-520. Section 3. Protection beyond the current footprint must be provided to protect and maintain existing nature reserves, parks, wildlife preserves and wetlands in the area. This applies to the Wetherill Nature Preserve, Fairweather Nature Preserve, and the Points Trail system. Section 4. Salmon streams and habitat must be restored and maintained within the Points Communities in accordance with ESA requirements. Section 5. Neither the WSDOT nor its contractors will impose tolls, user fees, value pricing, etc. to fund replacement, restoration, or rehabilitation of existing roadways or mitigation through the Points Communities. Funding for improvements to the SR-520 corridor must be through the traditional State budget process, State, regional and/or local option gas tax or special levies. Section 6. WSDOT must respect local city and town ordinances, zoning, comprehensive plans, and shoreline management plans. WSDOT must work with communities to provide acceptable solutions and mitigation to the SR-520 corridor. Section 7. Cities, towns, businesses and citizens will be compensated (including compensation for tax consequences) for any property acquired by the State to accommodate an expanded roadway/bridge in accordance with Federal acquisition and relocation regulations.

Box 47300 - 3D Olympia, WA 98504-7300 Dear Mr. Morrison: As Mayors of the five Points Communities, responsible for public safety, we are very concerned about the outdated and inadequate guard rails on the SR-520 Bridge. To ensure their safety, we agree with the July 1, 1999 Eastside Journal editorial (enclosed). King County Juvenile Court testimony regarding the 1997 fatal crash, on the bridge, reveals the existing guard rails haven't met safety standards since 1964. WSDOT bridge engineers have identified the guard rail deficiencies and the fixes required. Mr. Dick Albin, WSDOT, has been quoted that retrofit costs to bring the outdated guard rails up to current standards would cost $42C.000. The Department of Transportation already has Mowat Construction Co_, Woodinville, WA., under contract ($8,046,694) for preservation and maintenance (re -habilitation) work on the existing Evergreen Point Bridge. VVe request the Department of Transportation, as an immediate action, on an emergency basis, modify the existing Mowat Construction Co. contract to include installation of new SR-520 Bridge guard rails. The increasing popularity of high-center-0-gravity, heavy SUV's and the safety of all SR- 520 Bridge users demand this action nowt Since r ly, Daniel Becker Mayor En-.

In 1998, the department began a modest $8 million Fvergreen Point bridge repair pro gram. The fatal 1998 S11V accident reveals that. the SR-520 bridge guard rails, designed to 196J standards, ate inadequate for today — especially against high-speed crash impact by increasingly popular, heavy, high center - of -gravity SUV's.

I know that the residents of Medina, Clyde Hill, Yarrow and Hunts Points appreciate the Department of Transportation's giving us a voice in this process. While I believe that the study was undertaken with good intentions, I also believe that the central recommendation of expanding SR-520 was a foregone and flawed conclusion. It is extremely curious to me that the draft report does not recommend a new third Lake Washington crossing north of the existing SR-520 budge, even though WSDOT's own Origin & Destination and marketing studies, prepared at the request of the Translake Study Committee, show that such a solution would provide substantial relief to congestion in the region - Although I signed the draft report as a member of the Translake Study Committee, as the signature page states, 1 do not endorse the recommendations". I signed only because of your continued personal assurances to me that the proposed expansion of the 520 corridor will not proceed without the City of Medina being a party to the entire process, including but not limited to EIS scopinq, development of preliminary designs, the EIS, and final design. As Mayor of the City of Me&ia, I can guarantee you that the citizens and the City Council will never accept an expanded 520 corridor without mitigation for Past and future impacts which includes a lid/tunnel over the freeway. The 1-90 lid/tunnel through Mercer Island's and Seattle's Mount Baker residential neighborhoods has established a precedent that now represents the minimum for ac—�ptable community mitigation. Like the residents of Mercer Island, for decades the Points Communities have shouldered the region's burden for providing for East-West traffic flow. We have been hearing, seeing, and breathing SR-520 for too long. if the corridor is to be expanded, the time has come to provide the residents of the Points Communities with relief. A lidltunnei from Lake Washington through the affected communities, together with state-of- the-art water, air and noise pollution controls are the minimum mitigation we will accept to offset the impacts of this major freeway. Consistent with all large projects in our City and region, we expect the Department of Transportation to reimburse the City of Medina for all our costs associated with the monitoring of the subsequent processes.

The 47-person Study Committee has represented local governments and state and regional agencies, as well as neighborhood, business and advocacy interests within the Trans -Lake corridor. Over a 14-month period, the Tran:;-Lake Washington Study Commi+tee has agreed on a problem statement and has developed and evaluated alternative mobility concepts across a full range of transportation solutions. The Study Committee now recommends an array of Trans -Lake alternative solutions to be carried forward to a formal environmental impact study. Given that our recommendations extend beyond the highway system and include other modes of travel, we further recommend that the EIS be conducted under the aegis of the Washington State Department of Transportation as well as other governmental bodies with jurisdiction over the proposals included in this report. Problem Statement The Study Committee has identified four prob! erns that Trans -Lake solutions should address; each exists today and will become more critical in the future: 1. Land use and transportation systems are not integrated in their planning and implementation. 1 The transportation system suffers from extensive congestion, 3- Reliability and safety of the system are impaired, and 4. Neiehborhoods, business centers and tllc cnvironrnent are impacted. Guiding Principles The Committee believes that several uuiding principles apply to all of our recommendations • Integration of the urban areas is essential and future actions should build on the positive inter- relationships among the communities adjacent to the Trans -Lake corridors. • Balance is needed among modes, corridors, and systems There must be high standards of performance and superior quality of work on any project. program, or design, including environmental and other enhancements and mitigation. Options recommended should provide viable transportation choices and increase the choices among those. In our urban areas adjacent to the Trail -Lake study, any proposals should accommodate new jobs, growth, and individual and comm, unity prosperity. • Many recommendations will rewire extensive mdy and time before implementatiou..All! actions, including early actior:s (see attachment), should be cxannincd to facilitate swift and appropriate implementation. Trans -Lake Washington Study Page 1 Findings and Recommendations July 16. 1 Y99 07=19'99 MOT: 12:29 FAX 2062695046 ENVIROISSUES ___ SCHULSE Z 004 • There needs Co be much more extensive engagement of the public and affected communit_ input 11u-ough the early ac'iom, the EIS process and the choice of preferred alternatives, project design, preliminan engineering, and project implementation. • More complete EIS analysis of potential actions to address the stated problems is required before recommending the preferred set of actions. The EIS should clearly state asstunptions g for the transportation modelin. • In parallel with the hiS, we also recommend identifying potential lauding sources for implementing each option. • Whatever decision moves for hard should be sufficiently flexible to accommodate new ideas and technologies. • There should be consideration of broader economic and urban development impacts of options evaluated, including, but not limited to: the rela?iorship of urban mobility to the growth of population and employment; socioeconomic impacts of changes to local and regional cornr=e patterns, modes, durations and distance; impacts on employment opportunities; and land use. • The evaluation should identify the consequences of finding/riot finding a way to either: a) accommodate; b) encourage the elimination or diversion of, or c) provide feasible alternatives to forecasted demand for Trans -Lake travel. Recommendations One clear conclusion of the Study Committee is that no single action, by itself, will provide an adequate response to these problems — several actions will be needed that together will provide additional capacity, improve the reliability of the transportation system, reduce demand for highway travel, and reduce unpacts of transportation facilities on neighborhoods and the envirom-neat. Recommendations for Community L.nha,,ccment and Mitigation • Mitigation and enhancement must be integral to and inseparable from the proposed transportation improveme.its. Mitigation and enhancement should start with sensitive project design where potential impacts are minimized wherever possible. Project design and mitigation elements should potentially include lids, multiple -level suuctures, grade separation, tunnels and other significant treatments such as those which have been and will be suggested by the affected comma not es. Mitigation of impacts caused by existing transportation facilities must be considered along with new impacts. The magnitude of mitigation measures must ne commensurate the amount of impact caused by the action. • An extensive and active involvement process to engage affected communities and regional interests, including local jurisdictions, neighborhoods, resource regional economic development agencies, and employers, should be integral to the EIS and design and construction process to identify near -term and longer -term impacts, coinmuniy objectives, and mitigations and enhancements Lhat will accompany any mobility improvement. Trans -Lake Washington Study page Findings and Recornmendations July 16, 1999 07'19.99 MON 12:29 FAX 2062695016 ENCIROISSUES -,- SCHULSE Z 005 • The transportation alternatives developed should be designed to avoid or minimize identified impacts. The foliowing issues have been identified as being particularly significant in the Trans -Lake study area: Noise and vibration I'ransportation corridor widening, especial!), if it will result in displacements or encroachments Impact to intersecting freeways Impacts on arterial access routes that impede local circulation and otner neighborhood functions Cut -through traffic using local streets to avoid free. ay congestion Visual impacts Water quantity and quality impacts — Air quality impacts Impacts to endangered species Impacts to sensitive ar"as, parks, and historic sites Consistency with local and regional growth management and economic plans — Impacts to regional and sub -regional economic development and job creation and recruitment • Transportation alternatives should enhance local communities by taking advantage of opportunities to: — implement objectives of local and regional plans — Improve transportation safety and reliability — Improve access and mobility for pedestrians and bicyclists Con-nect neighborhoods separated by transportation facilities — Improve the visual appearance of transportation facilities — Provide space for community -desired uses — Enhance and prescrvc sensitive areas, parks, and historic sites — Maintain a strong base of employment and enba:ce economic opportunities for individuals and com nuni"es — Produce commute options that assure dependable and acceptable commilute times Recommendations for SR 522 • Transit lames, signal priority, bicycle, pedestrian and safety improvements along SR 522, as called for by the SR 522 Multimodal Corridor study, and east -west connectors to and from I-5, as appropriate, should be implemented. Reconmiendations for the Kirkland/Sand Point Corridor • The committee has examined the possibility of a third Trans -Lake crossing from the Kirkland to Sand Point areas, but does not recommend that a new crossing be evaluated in the EIS- • A separate study should be undertaken to analyze current and longer -term east -west travel demand north of Lake Washington. 1111s study should accommodate emerging land uses Trans -Lake Washing on Study Page 3 Findings and Recommendations Jaly 16, 1999 0-1'19'99 RON 12:30 FAX 2062695046 ENVIROISSCES I- SCHULSE Z ong to the north of the Lake, and include a Locus or transit nccds as well as acknowledging non -commute capacity needs. • The Trans -Lake study showed that car or bus ferries would have signifrcanr impact at loading points, and passenger -only ferries would not substantially enhance people - moving capacity. The connnittec recommends, however, that passenger ferry options across Lake Washington should be studied further, witb emphasis on private operation. Recommendations for the SR 520 Corridor • Floating bridge pontoons must be replaced within their maximum remaining 25-year service life. • Roadway shoulders and bicycle and pedes rian facilities should be considered as part of any new or replaced bridge crossing. • The EIS should evaluate the following combinations of additional transportation elements in each direction on SR 520: One HOV lane in each. direction One HOV lane in each direction and high -capacity transit One I IOV lane in each direction and one general purpose Ian-, in each direction One HOV lane in each direction, high -capacity transit, and one general purpose lane in each direction • These combinations should be evalu ted along with a No Action and a Minimum Footprint alternative. The Minimum Footprint alternative would include maimaininb the existing four lanes while improving transit and HOV access to SR 1520, bicycle/pedestrian access, and providing fora median barrier and minimum roadway shoulders while maintaining a minimal footprint. • During the EIS process, each of these options should be more fully specified. Those specifications would identify where added lanes would begin acid end, whether the SR 520 corridor is the best route For a crass -lake high -capacity transit route, whether and how 1-5 and 1-405 freeway interchanges to SR 520 should be modified, and whether and how arterial connections to SR 520 should be modified. added, or removed. Recommendations for the I-90 Corridor There should be continued study of Sound Trar.sit's proposal to establisb 2-way HOV/tramit operation on I-90. I-90 should remain convertible to include high -capacity transit in the future. • Freight mobility hi the I-90 corridor should be preserved and enhanced. Recommendations for High-Capz�.city Transit Trans -Lake Washington Study Page 4 Findings and Reeomrnenda?ions July 16, 1999 67/19.99 MON'' 12'30 FAX 2062695046 ENVIROISSDES »-- SCHDLSE Z 007 • Preference should be placed on high -capacity transit in the SR 520 corridor. In the event that teciulical constraints limit consideration of high: -capacity transit as an integral SR 520 structural component, other alignments, including an exclusive right of way for hign- capacity transit, should be considered. Provision of high -capacity transit will not eliminate the need for other Trans -Lake improvements, and implementation of high - capacity transit should not result in reduced Trans -Lake HOV capacity overall. Recommendations for Transportation Demand Management and Transportation Svstem Management • Transportation Demand Management (TDM) measures that build and expand on the region's considerable commitment and success in commute trip reduction programs should be analyzed in any environmental impact analysis- The analysis should assess the impact of committing substantial resources toward TDM measures. The analysis should include both land use actions and effective trip reduction measures, while enhancing commercial traffic mobility. A list of potential TDM measures to be considered is included in the committee's technical report. Inter -local corridor agreements should be developed and enhanced to implement TDM and Transportation System Management (TSM) measures. Such inter -local agreements should include trip reduction goals with milestones and monitoring plans, and funding to prepare and monitor implementation of trip reduction plans. These recommendations anticipate cooperative leveraging of WSDOT and non-WSDOT funds, with involvement of local and regional jimsdictions. They also encourage providing public incentives for implementing TDM, to be carried out by the public and/or private sectors. • TSM actions, whicl: are defined as improvements to transportation systems, including arterials, that improve speed, reliability, access, and traveler information, should be analyzed. Measures that could be implemented in the short term and/or at low and moderate cost should be identified and implcmentcd as rapidly as possible. {Some examples of potential -early actions that have been suggested by mernbers of the Study Conunitlee are included as an attaclunent.) How we price transportation should be further studied on a regional, rather than on a corridor basis, consistent with the Puget Sound Regional Council's Pricing Task Force. Conclusion The 14-month Trans -Lake Washsngton Study process, which brought 47 community representatives (and nearly as many altemates) to the table to discuss transportation priorities for the future, has developed a remarkably knowledgeable group of citizens_ Each person involved has devoted a considerable amount of time and passion to the cause of enhancing the way we move people and goods through the Trans -Lake corridors and we have developed a considerable amount of respect and trust tunong ourselves.

Many of the recommendations of the committee will require extensive study, and their implementation will take many years. The coaunittee secs actions that zan be taken in the short term, based on policy decisions or actions of existing programs outside of the EIS. Other items may be implementable in the mid -range (4-10 years), based on the outcome of further environmental study. The committee recommends that such early -term actions be taken by appropriate entities as rapidly as possible to address Trans -Lake problems. These include: Trans -Lake Wide Principles The region-s Trans -Lake transportation problems are not merely those concerned with new or modified facilities. A host of day-to-day operational problems exist and need attention in the interim. These include recommending that WSDOT improve safety and convenience for pedestrians' and bicyclists' access to existing facilities, mitigate noise and cut through traffic problems, and improve HOV/transit speed and reliability throughout the Trans -Lake study area. A variety of entities should build on successful examples of and provide incentives to increase use of HOV/transit in the study area_ In addition, specifically: • We recommend that the TDM Roundtable, as convened by the Puget Sound Regional Council, include in its work plan an early focus on funding, strengthening and the coordination of TDM programs in the Trans -Lake corridors. • WSDOT should develop an emergency plan for all Trans -Lake corridors that, among other alternatives, studies the feasibility of giving preference to HOV, transit, and freight on a temporary basis in an emergency. • King Cowrty should reexamine its transit zone structure to more accurately reflect distances traveled. • WSDOT should implement an expanded inotorist service patrol program throughout the Trans -Lake corridor. SR 520 Actions • WSDOT should work with affected communities to examine and implement (where shown effective) improved ramp metering operation eastbound and westbound on SR 20. WSDOT should accelerate priority for installing storrnw°ater runoff management systems for reducing polluting runoff from the existing higl-way into lake Washing on and adjoining waters.

I participated as a member of the Trans -Lake Washington Study Committee and support the Committee's early action SR-520 recommendations. In the post 1-695 environment, it may be more appropriate to delay the $800,000 authorization. We feel the $800,000 can be better utilized implementing the high priority, early action items such as the storm -water runoff management system, recommended in the Trans -Lake Washington Study Final Report, of October 1999. The City of Medina and our Points Community neighbors place a high priority on ensuring that SR-520 bridge/roadway polluted water runoff does not continue Into Lake Washington. The Endangered Species Act and the National Marine Fisheries Service "4D" rule require protection of Lake Washington salmon habitat. The City of Medina has met with WSDOT and other communities adjacent to the SR-520 corridor to begin negotiating a mitigation agreement similar to that signed on the 1-90 project in 1976. The scoping study may be more appropriate to begin upon completion of those negotiations and agreement and when the State is ready to fully fund an EIS. Sincerely, &r- ��e,�w Daniel F.

Luke Esser C,TT OF Clyde RESOLUTION NO. 323 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CLYDE HILL, WASHINGTON, REGARDING A MITIGATION AGREEMENT FOR PROPOSED EXPANSION OF SR-620 WHEREAS, the City of Clyde Hill and its sister Towns and Cities of Hunts Point, Medina and Yarrow Point (Points Communities) have suffered degradation of air quality, the impact of noise and water pollution and the division of its neighborhoods created by the construction and operation of the SR-520 Highway since 1964, and WHEREAS, the results of these impacts have not been fully addressed by the State since the construction of the highway, WHEREAS, the Washington State Transportation Commission adopted Resolution Number 596 on September 16, 1999, endorsing the Translake Washington Study Committee recommendations and directed the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to proceed with an environmental impact study scoping effort focused on the SR-520 corridor, and WHEREAS, any project within the SR-520 corridor must provide measurable congestion relief to the regional transportation system in general, and to the City of Clyde Hill in particular, while mitigating the interim and long-term impacts of the project, and WHEREAS, the Clyde Hill City Council by Resolution No. 312, dated April 13, 1999, identified community mitigation issues for any proposed SR520 solution, and WHEREAS, it is the desire of the City of Clyde Hill to create an environment of cooperation with WSDOT relative to the design of any proposed improvements to the SR-520 facility and associated traffic network, and WHEREAS, the City of Clyde Hill expects direct benefits to its residents and to the entire metropolitan area from a reconstruction and expansion of the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge and the SR-520 corridor, and NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CLYDE HILL, WASHINGTON, HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The Need For Mitigation: The Clyde Hill City Council recognizes a number of community concems regarding the potential design and construction of improvements to the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge and the SR-520 highway corridor. Because of these concerns, the Council believes it is important for Clyde Hill and the other Points Community Towns and Cities to enter into a Mitigation Agreement with the State of Washington's Department of Transportation to address these matters prior to the beginning of the State's EIS-scoping process. Section 2 Permanent Mitigation: In order to mitigate its impact upon the City of Clyde Hill, the design of any SR-520 roadway and bridge project must include the following elements: a) The design of any improvements to the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge or the SR-520 highway must reduce rather than add to existing traffic congestion in Clyde Hill and the neighboring Points Communities. b) The design must maintain entrances and exits at 84"' and 92n°Avenues and at Bellevue Way, as well as the freeway flyer transit stops on SR-520 near Evergreen Point Road and 92n4 Avenue. c) The design must mitigate the noise and air pollution that now adversely affects Clyde Hill and neighboring areas, through a depressed roadway and a continuous landscaped lid over SR-520 as it passes through the Points Communities. The Lid is envisioned to have parks or other types of land uses acceptable to the City on top of it to reconnect the community that has been split by the construction of SR-520. d) The design must mitigate the roadway noise that now adversely affects the Clyde Hill community. e) The design must mitigate storm water run-off, improve water quality, and preserve and recover salmon habitat, all in compliance with the Endangered Species Act and other applicable laws and regulations. f) The design must maintain and protect the Wetherill Nature Preserve, Fairweather Nature Preserve, the Points Community Loop Trail System, adjacent streams and wetlands and other natural areas and amenities in the vicinity of SR-520. g) The design must shield roadway lights to prevent light and glare pollution to neighboring residences and those uphill from the highway. h) The design of the facility must minimize any expansion of the existing SR-520 right of way, to limit the number of homes or community facilities, which may need to be relocated. WSDOT must adhere to applicable City of Clyde Hill ordinances, zoning regulations, comprehensive plans, and regulations during the design and construction of the project. Section 3 Mitigation Under Construction: In order to mitigate the impact upon the City of Clyde Hill during construction of any SR-520 roadway and bridge project, the following interim measures are also necessary: a) Prior to the start of any construction on SR-520, baseline environmental studies (air quality, water quality, noise, etc.) must be performed by independent agencies selected by the City of Clyde Hill and reimbursed by WSDOT. b) Construction "best practices" must be adopted and followed to expedite the work while = minimizing the impact of the construction process upon neighboring properties and communities. c) Dedicated technical support must be available to the City of Clyde Hill during design and construction, to be funded by WSDOT. d) WSDOT must meet with City representatives periodically, but not less than once a quarter, to review the status of the project design and during the construction to review the status of the project's design and discuss solutions to problems which arise.

Since our communities will be directly impacted by the construction and expanded SR-520 bridge/facility, we feel the committee structure must be balanced to ensure all our concerns and needs are incorporated into the project The process and committee structure outlined in the Approach marginalizes our Cities and Towns while at the same time providing control of the design and configuration of the facility to other jurisdictions that could benefit from the project w thout impacting their communities. To provide a balanced approach and process we request the following changes WSDOT negotiate a Mitigation Agreement with Medina, Clyde Hill, Hunts Point. Yarrow Point, and other interested parties prior to starting the planning, environmental, and/cr design work on the SR-520 bridge and approaches This was the process implemented on 1-90 project when in 1976 King County, Municipality of Metropolitan Seattle, Washington State Highway Commission, City of Seattle, City of Mercer Island, and City of Bellevue all signed onto the Memorandum Agreement that allowed the 1-90 project to move forward The Memorandum Agreement signed December 21, 1976.. states, ".. upon execution of this agreement undertake the development of necessary plans and designs for, and shall further proceed, with the required public hearings and preparation of the necessary environmental impact statements ..' We request that Medina, Clyde Hill, Hunts Point, and Yarrow Point, cities directly impacted by the project, each have one representative on the executive committee. The County, other cities, and agencies should likewise have only one representative on the executive committee. The proposed committee outlined in the Approach resembles the Translake Study Committee. Since this is not the Translake Study and the preferred corridor and solution set decisions are outlined in the Translake Study recommendations, the number of jurisdicticns and agencies on the executive committee should be scaled back. Our communities would like to see the EIS design and construction of an improved facility in the 520 corridor move ahead However. oniv more direct involvement of our communities and satisfactory resolution of the mitigation issues will make this possible.

I appreciate the effort you've made to respond quickly. I hear your messages clearly — that you feel you need a greater representation on the proposed executive committee, and that you want assurances that mitigation for your communities will be included in any proposed project. We are not able to comply with your requests. Discussion about committee membership, around rules and agreements needs to occur in the context of the full group of corridor stakeholders, not between WSDOT and individual parties. Several constituencies have proposed changes to the membership of the proposed Trans -Lake EIS executive committee. Resolution of those issues will have greater credibility and standing if decisions are made by a broader group of elected leaders than if WSDOT staff makes decisions on our own. Interlocal agreements have been used successfully to spell out conditions under which other controversial projects have moved forward. Such agreements must be the result of a lot of hard work to hammer out conditions that "ill be acceptable to all signing parties. WSDOT cannot commit to specific mitigation before that work has been done, and we cannot commit to sign agreements in the future unless they will meet the state's needs and objectives. However, we are prepared to work in good faith towards an interlocal agreement governing the implementation of EIS recommendations, ideally timed to accompany a selection of a preferred LIS alternative n'tavors Becker, Bem, Martin and McConkey April 28, 2000 P32e 2 Once membership on the executive committee has been finalized, then the executive committee may elect to prepare a memorandum of understanding between agencies represented on that committee capturing assumptions and ground rules that will govem the EIS process. Under separate cover you will receive a letter inviting you to send a joint representative to the initial meeting of the executive committee, and a representative from each of your jurisdictions to the first meeting of the technical steering committee. At the first meeting of the executive committee, the agenda will include time for discussion of proposed chances to the committee's membership, and I invite you to appear at that meeting and present your case for greater representation ai that meeting.

Box 47300 Olympia, WA 98504-7300 Dear Secretary Morrison: Reference is made to your letters of April 28, 2000 and May 1, 2000. Thank you for your prompt response to our letter of concern about the mitigation on the SR-520 project and representation on the Executive Committee. We heard from Rob Fellows, Phil Fordyce, and Pat Serie that WSDOT is trying to work with us to create a successful project; your letter of May 1', however, contradicts WSDCT's representation to us. In the words of Commissioner Aubrey Davis during development of the I-90 project through Mercer Island, we don't want to "see, hear or smell" the SR-520 project going through our City, Medina is similar to Mercer Island in that we are a residential community and should not have to put up with the visual, air and water pollution generated from your facility, as we have for the past 30+ years. Any project design must incorporate elements from the start, which will accomplish these goals. Failing to include them will delay the project. In your letter of May 1, 2000, the Department of Transportation requested one person to represent an entity called the "Points Communities". That entity does not exist. Over 40 years ago, the Citizens of Medina, Clyde Hill, Yarrow Point, and Hunts Point established Code Cities and Towns recognized by the State in accordance with the RCW. Therefore, each of the Cities and Towns must be represented on the Executive Committee. It is unreasonable for the Department of Transportation to seat Cities that won't be directly impacted by the proposed SR-520 project on the committee and exclude Cities and Towns that will be directly impacted. As independent Cities, we cannot assign authority for representation to another City. The Mayor of Medina does not represent Clyde Hilf, Yarrow Point or Hunts Point, nor do the Mayors of those Cities and Towns represent the City of Medina. The Department of Transportation indicated that this process is modeled after the I-405 EIS planning process. With the exception of the Counties and State, the composition of the Executive Committee for that process includes al! jurisdictions along the i-405 corridor, which are represented by only one representative each. Sid Momsor. May 10,2000 Page 2 Why is the composition of this committee different? Why do Bellevue, Seattle, and Sound Transit need more than one representative each? Why would you exclude representation from cities and towns most heavily impacted by this proposed project and include Cities not along the SR-520 corridor? Your letter of May 28 states that only the Executive Committee can change the composition of the Executive Committee; who gave the Executive Committee the authority to make the change? We don't understand why the Department of Transportation can't change the committee composition when the Department of Transportation established the committee and it has yet to convene. The City of Medina strongly recommends that the Department of Transportation start negotiation of the interlocal agreements identified in your letter of April 28, 2000, before this process moves forward. As a part of that agreement, the City of Medina expects to be reimbursed for hiring an outside consultant to participate on the Technical Steering Committee. The description of the Technical Steering Committee in your May 1, 2000, letter indicates that the committee will be guiding and reviewing the technical progress of the EIS. The City of Medina does not have staff with the technical background or knowledge required for the Technical Steering Committee. Therefore, it will be necessary to hire a consultant to assist us with this effort. This is consistent with any major development in our City; in addition to hiring an outside consultant, we charge the developer for our costs to review their project. Please let us know when the Department of Transportation is ready to start negotiation of the interlocal agreement and is prepared to recognize each of our communities as having a legitimate voice on the Executive Committee.

The proicct team and the Transportation Commission share your interest in not adversely affecting the ,,coping and EIS process. The Commission asked the Dcpartmcn! of Transportation to consider ways in which the lesion can proceed as rapidly as possible to implement a permanent solution to trans -lake mobility. Members stressed their fnan commihnent to mccUng both the Department's and Sound Trunsit's environmental responsibilities, as well as meeting commitments to the communities in and around the corridor. The project is following and will follow NEPA/SEPA requirements explicitly, and will not sholt-,hange effective public involvement or the complete and thorough analysis of alternatives and impacts.

WC recognize your concern about die number of options to be considered. We have entered this process with (I set of reasonable and feasible solutions endorsed by the Trans - Lake Washington Study Committee At the same time, we have conducted scoping per the requirements of NEPA and SEPA, and will be analyzing the results of scoping through the committee process and the first level screening. We are confident that the options that emerge for more detailed study will rctlect both regional and local prionties. I he project team is also procccding to understand and incorporate the evolving Clements of other relevant regulatory frameworks such as the Endangered Species Act, Shoreline Management Act, and Clcan Water Act. Pelcvant requirements will certainly be considered in the enviromnental process, and changes will be factored in as the project proceeds. i Washington State Department of Transportation SOONOTRANSIr 5FF-lE-�V TUC �- PM V!;"I - Vr U�LiIV IJ�:"T A V . _JDaU1D �Q �.

We appreciate the fact that the Regional Transportation Investment District of Y.ng, Pierce and Snohomish Counties (RTID) has committed to a May 2003 ballot measure, and that in order for a phased Trans -Lake Project alternative to be included in this ballot measure, we most have project cost estimates wbich will not be exceeded by twenty percent. In addition, we acknowledge that completion of a draft environmental impact statement by spring 2003 will increase the likelihood that Trans -Lake Project cost estimates will meet the cost reliabiiity test. Therefore, we affirm our support for adoption of a Preliminary Preferred Alternative for the Trans -Lake Washington Project at the September 5 executive committee meeting, provided that the following conditions are met. We support addition of at least one new lane in each direction. In addition, to accommodate future high -capacity transit (HCT) such as fixed -guideway a exclusive bus lanes, we believe that any new bridge structure should include pontoons wide enough to accommodate the required additional lane width, whether that width is cons-ructcd at the outset or as part of a future phase. We cannot envision conversion of existing or future general purpose or High Occupancy Vehicle lanes for exclusive use by HCT, and therefore, the new bridge must be large enough to accommodate HCT without such conversion. The Trans -Lake Washington Project technical team must pursue a navigability waiver from the United States Coast Guard, for the purpose of lowering the height of the ne« eastern high rise to accommodate a cut and fill roadway from the east brid,= landing under Evergreen Point Road. On January 10, 2001, the Trans -Lake W shington Project Technical Committee received a Navigationa'. Study report suggesting Lhat existing vessel Sep-03-OZ 02:57P P_O3 Mr. Aubrey Davis August 29, 2002 Page Two traffic consists of one recreation; vessel, an occasion; "rogue" vessel and three ba-ge- mounted cranes that lower their booms when crossing under I-90. A lower eastern high rise would allow for co: responding lowerng of the SR 520 roadway and lids, which we believe would result in both sound reduction benefits and roadway V construction cost savings. We therefore request that the project technical team analyze the impact of lowering the roadway on noise pollution and noise mitigation, lowering the lidded sections and lids, and on straightening and widening the roadway. Because we believe that the level of environmental remediation and noise mitigation and need for community connectivity required by the Trans -Lake Washington Project will be determined by the preferred alternative actually selected, we contend that decisions on the location, number, size and design of the lids and other enhancements cannot be determined prior to completion of the draft environmental impact statement. We cannot support moving forward with this corridor process should a decision be made to adopt a preliminary preferred alternative that includes just one, 300-foot lid. Furthermore, Points City and Town representatives have previously received written assurances from the Washington State Department of Transportation and an oral commitment from the Trans -Lake Washington Project Executive Committee Chair that the mitigation and enhancements will be equal at Evergreen Point Road, 840 Avenue NE and 92' Avenue NE, and equal to that implemented in the Montiake and Roanoke Communities. There also has been some discussion that pre -construction sound walls could be erected from the SI OJ million included in Referendum 5I for the Trans -Lake Washington Project. Finally, to help settle once and for all what the relative benefits would be of sound walls versus sound lids of various lengths and configurations, we ask that the project team commit to hiring an outside noise consultant, and that the selection of said consultant be confirmed by Points City and Town members of the executive corurnittee. We believe that this step will help to build public confidence in whatever noise mitigation package is eventually included as a part of the Trans -Lake Washington Project preferred alternative. We look forward to discussing these proposals with you and other members of the Trans - Lake Washington Executive Committee at our September 5 meeting.

POLICY IMPLICATION: Medina Municipal Code does not authorize the City Manager to refund fees paid to a collection agency by holders of accounts referred to collection. BACKGROUND: I have been contacted by a Medina resident with a request for reimbursement of fees paid to a collection agency for collection services provided to the City of Medina. After reviewing the account files and Medina Municipal Code, I am not comfortable making this decision without City Council authorization. Furthermore, I believe refunding the fees constitutes a gift of public funds, which is prohibited by state law. The resident applied for a variance in July 2001, which required payment of an application fee in the amount of $1,300. At that time, $1,000 of the application fee was dedicated toward the cost of the Hearing Examiner and the remaining $300 was credited toward consultant charges. As of January 2002, the entire application fee is applied toward the cost of the Hearing Examiner and administrative/staff costs. All consultant charges are billed in addition to the application fee, which is consistent with City Council policy for full cost recovery of development services. The applicant was eventually billed an additional $921.94 in February 2002, for consultant charges associated with the variance application review and public hearing, which resulted in a decision by the Hearing Examiner to deny the variance. The applicant's agent sent a letter to the City Council, dated October 10, 2001, which expressed a significant amount of frustration and dissatisfaction. In addition, the agent requested reconsideration of the variance request based on procedural issues and a decision by the Hearing Examiner, which was five (5) days late. The reconsideration was not granted by the Hearing Examiner. In October 2002, the City Attorney was asked to assist with collection action on eighteen (18) past due accounts. This particular account was one of the eighteen past due accounts referred to the City Attorney at that time. In February 2003, the property owner was sent a demand for payment and notice of intent to proceed with collection activities. The property owner left a voice message for the City Manager after receiving the notice, which stated she had received the notice and refused to pay the charges. The property owner threatened legal action and requested a meeting with the City, which would include her legal counsel. The property owner's call was returned and resulted in additional threats of legal action and refusal to pay the charges. This account was referred to AAAA, Inc. for collection on July 11, 2003. The property owner contacted me on February 4, 2004, with a request for a refund of $544.00, which was the fee paid to the collection agency for their services in addition to the $921.94 owed to the City for consultant charges. The property owner stated that he felt the refund was appropriate because the City did not return a telephone call prior to placement of the account with AAAA, Inc. Arrangements have been made with a few of the property owners who contacted the City to make payment arrangements after the accounts were referred to AAAA, Inc. However, these arrangements were made before the collection agency incurred expenses related to the collection process, which allowed the City to pull the account without paying significant fees. The subject account was paid in full to AAAA, Inc. A voice message was left for the property owner on February 20, 2004, stating that the City Manager did not have authority to approve the requested refund, but the matter would be discussed with the City Council during its March 8, 2004 meeting. 0 Page 2 ITEM J - 5a CITY OF MEDINA City Attorney's Office 501 Evergreen Point Road, Medina, WA 98039 vvvvw.med-ii-na-wa.,qov MEMORANDUM DATE: March 2, 2004 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Kirk Wines, City Attorney RE: Citizen Refund Claim/Gift of Public Funds COMMENT: I have been asked for an opinion whether returning all or any portion of the funds paid by Mr. and Mrs. Floyd for consulting costs incurred in their request for reconsideration would constitute a gift of funds. The Washington State Constitution, Article 8, Section 7 states: "No county, city ... shall hereafter give any money, or property, or loan its money, or credit to or in the aid of any individual... except for the necessary support of the poor and infirm,..... A gift is a transfer of property without consideration. Louthan v. King County, 94 W n. 2d 422, 617 1977 (1980). A refund of fees paid by a citizen applying for a variance, or the forgiveness of all or any portion of the fees, would constitute a gift of public funds unless the City receives something of actual value in return. In the case before the Council, it does not appear that the City would receive anything of value from the applicants unless they can prove that they have a valid claim against the City that exceeds the monies that the City would be repaying or forgiving. To date, although the applicants' agent set forth numerous reasons why they were unhappy with the decision, they did not appeal the decision and no evidence has been presented that they would be legally entitled to a credit or refund from the City.

CMC, City Clerk ITEM J - 7 CITY OF MEDINA Development Services 501 Evergreen Point Road, Medina, WA 98039 425.454.9222 ua.meinaa.gov MEMORANDUM DATE: May 4, 2004 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Joseph Gellings, AICP, Planning Director RE: School Sign Restrictions RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council amend the Zoning Code to eliminate the requirement for a conditional use permit for new permanent signs and decide whether the code standards for school signs should allow for sign lighting or changeable messages. POLICY IMPLICATION: In a community that is almost entirely single-family residential in land use, limitations on sign installation can protect neighborhood character. Occasionally safety and amenity are competing goals that must be balanced with protecting neighborhood character in sign regulation. BACKGROUND: During their development of Ordinance 770 — School Zoning — the City Council decided to postpone discussion of any changes to the current restrictions on school signs. I recommend that the City Council address this issue soon because the Zoning Code contains what I believe to be an inappropriate requirement to obtain a conditional use permit for all new permanent commercial, subdivision, school, church and club signs. The Zoning Code already contains a thorough set of standards for each of these types of signs. Requiring a discretionary review through the conditional use permit process after an applicant has already complied with the code standards would seem to invite a design review by the City — but no design review guidelines are provided. The City Council's options on this matter are: 1) preserve the requirement for a conditional use permit for certain permanent signs; 2) eliminate the requirement for a conditional use permit for all types of signs; or 3) eliminate only the requirement for a conditional use permit for school signs consistent with the recent change of hearing body only for school projects. The second area of school sign regulation that the City Council may wish to consider is whether sign lighting and changeable messages should be allowed. The current code standards for school signs include a maximum of one sign per site, a maximum sign area of 12 square feet, and a maximum height of four feet. With regard to sign lighting, front -lighting is generally considered more neighborhood compatible than back -lighting. With regard to changeable messages, systems involving physical placement of lettering are generally considered more neighborhood compatible than electronic messages. ITEM J - 7 In discussions with the Bellevue School District's project management team for Medina Elementary replacement, they have indicated that they are not interested in a changeable message capability for the sign that will be visible from the surrounding streets.
