Absent:  Champeaux and Boyd.

Student Representative:  Sonaly Sayavong

COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC

Richard Gould:  Advised that he has attended meetings and heard mostly complaints but he came to provide support for the city.  Has a financial background in government and can assist with financial issues.  He has requested documents to help him review the financial condition of the city.  Is concerned over the use consultants and would like to be involved with the budget preparation.

 

Josie Fallgatter:  On the Vodnick Lane remand, is confused how it can be remanded back without the required closed record hearing.   Ask why they are not following procedure.  In regards to the proposed Comp Plan update, if the intent of the proposed works is to do the update in a legally compliant manner, this will not do it.  There is no additional traffic analysis proposed and it is missing the transportation element.  Does not include and EIS, utility plan and does not consider levels of service.  Appreciates the efforts, but should get a scope of work for what needs to be done.

 

Gerry Gibson:  The city is dealing with park impact fees but should look at traffic impact fee updates also.    AJ’s Place Plat has four options provided for consideration but there is no option for denial.  The Police level of service is a concern to him and others and he doesn’t understand how the council can ignore the code.

 

Loretta Storm:  Advised that the Highway 2 [NOTE:  The correct name of this organization is the “U. S. 2 Safetey Coalition”] Coalition is sharing the Monroe Chamber Booth at the Evergreen State Fair.  Requested that the DRB meetings be posted as well as all other such meetings.  In regards to records requests, state law requires that city respond in five days.   The Council did a good job on the town meeting and the survey tool was great for gathering information.

 

Jennifer Jerabek:   Presented a letter from the Master Builders Association in regards to the Park Impact fee increases.  It is a substantial increase and will add about $9,000 to the cost of a home over 30 years.  The increase may also be subject to legal challenges as the fees must be proportionate to the impact of the development. 

 

Garth York:   Asked if projects that have gone thru the process are vested under the old impact fees? 

Does not support the ordinance as it is a major increase and Developers are providing recreational areas in the plat and then being asked to pay fees for other park lands.  The city should get rid of tot lots and build regional parks and allow the developer to use the lot for building. 

 

COUNCILMEMBERS COMMENTS:

Wiediger:  Agrees that the developers who have approved plats should be vested under the old fees

Slawson:  The closest county parks to city are Lord’s Hill, Index and Flowing Lake.  The County owns property in the area that could be used for park purposes. 

 

STAFF REPORTS:

Public Works:  Advised that Rice Road will be closed for culvert replacement, the Sultan Basin Road project is moving forward and the bus stop at west end of city is being relocated closer to the light. 

 

Grants:  Railroad Crossing grant contract has been signed and construction should start later this year.  Submitted a TIB application for the south leg of the Sultan Basin Road.  Park projects should go to bid later this month. 

 

Finance:  Gordon Hey presented the July budget report for review and advised that the revenue and expenditures are both at about 48% of the budgeted amounts.  Building permit activity is considerably less then anticipated.  Budget amendment request have been submitted for the sound system, planning and police. 

 

 Police:  The Highway 2 Safety Coalition [NOTE:  The correct name of this organization is the “U. S. 2 Safety Coalition”] will meet on August 28th with DOT to discuss the results of their workshop. There will be a public meeting on August 30th to discuss the police levy.  Officer Marshal will be returning to work soon and the city will no longer need to use the additional temporary officers. Staff is working with the City Attorney to revise the animal control ordinances. 

 

CONSENT AGENDA:

The following items are incorporated into the consent and approved by a single motion of the Council.   On a motion by Councilmember Flower, seconded by Councilmember Wiediger, the consent agenda was approved as amended.  Wiediger – aye; Slawson – aye; Seehuus – aye, abstained on item 2; Flower – aye; Blair – aye.

  3. Excused absence of Councilmember Champeaux.
  4. Approval of the contract with Prothman for Building Inspector services.

  6. Minutes of the August 10, 2006 Closed Record Hearing on AJ’s Place Plat.

ACTION ITEMS:

Resolution 06-11 AJ’s Place Plat:  Rick Cisar discussed the four different proposed resolutions and advised that staff recommends adoption of 06-11A.  Councilmember Blair noted that there was no option for denial presented.  On a motion by Councilmember Flower, seconded by Councilmember Seehuus, Resolution 06-11A approving AJ’s Place preliminary Plat was adopted.  All ayes with Councilmember Blair abstaining and Councilmember Slawson voting nay.

 

Resolution 06-12 Vodnick Lane Remand:  Rick Cisar advised that the developer has requested that the matter be remanded back to the Hearing Examiner.  Brief discussion was held on the need for a closed record hearing and the proper process for remanding the matter back to the Hearing Examiner. 

Councilmember Slawson moved to adopt Resolution 06-12 remanding Vodnick Lane back to the Hearing Examiner, seconded by Councilmember Blair.  Blair and Slawson – aye; Seehuus, Flower, Wiediger – nay.  The motion was defeated.  The City Attorney will research the code to determine the process the council needs to follow.  The council needs to set the matter on the next agenda for action.

 

Ordinance 929-06 Recreational Facility Fees:  On a motion by Councilmember Flower, seconded by Councilmember Slawson, Ordinance 929-06, Recreational Facility Fees, was adopted.  All ayes except Councilmember Wiediger who voted nay.

Facility/Rate Study:   Connie Dunn discussed the interview process with consultants to perform a utility rate study.  Brief discussion was held regarding cost and time line.  On a motion by Councilmember Wiediger, seconded by Councilmember Blair, the staff was authorized to negotiate a contract with Financial Consulting Solutions for a Facility Rate Study. All ayes except Councilmember Flower who voted nay.

 

Ordinance 935-06, Police Levy:   Chief Walser reviewed the three year levy proposal to provide police equipment and additional staff.  Brief discussion was held on the amounts and the impact to the level of service requirements. 

On a motion by Councilmember Seehuus, seconded by Councilmember Flower, Ordinance 935-06, Police Levy, was introduced and passed on to a second reading.  All ayes (for the record, Councilmember Wiediger was not present for the vote)

 

Resolution 06-14 Disposal of Property:  The property is located at 516 Date Street and has a market value of $125,000 plus.  On a motion by Councilmember Blair, seconded by Councilmember Flower, Resolution 06-14, Disposal of Property, was adopted.  All ayes (for the record Councilmember Seehuus was not present for the vote).

 

Planning Consultant Agreement:  Rick Cisar reviewed the proposal for consultant services to complete the Comprehensive Plan and Development Code updates.  Brief discussion was held regarding the involvement of the Planning Board, staff support, and previous issues with BHC’s work. 

On a motion by Councilmember Flower, seconded by Councilmember Slawson, the Mayor was authorized to sign a contract with BHC Consultants in an amount not to exceed $30,000 to complete the Comprehensive Plan and Development Code Updates.  All ayes except Councilmember Wiediger who voted nay.

 

PUBLIC COMMENTS

Josie Fallgatter:   Understands the attorney’s concern on the Vodnick Lane plat as according to the code they must have closed record hearing a make a decision based on facts.  Vesting was addressed by the Hearing Examiner and the developer can not chose which code they want to vest under.  The council needs to have the closed record hearing and accept the Hearing Examiners recommendation and then the developer can re-file his application.  Was disappointed in the selection of BHC for the code update.

 

Loretta Storm:   Congratulated the council for holding firm on the park fees.  Traffic fees have not been raised in 6 years and they would have had more funding for projects if they were increased annually.   The developers charge the fee back to the home buyers.  Was disappointed in the selection of BHC for the comp plan update. 

 

Garth York:   Was disappointed that the Council passed the increase to park fees.  Council may think they have done well, but they have not.  They raise sewer fees and traffic fees – what stops them from continuing to increase fees.  They have set the city up for legal challenges on the fees.  Not listening to input.

 

COUNCIL COMMENTS

Flower:   Tot lots are a waste of land and they are not maintained.   The City had an opportunity to collect a fee in lieu of tot lots and it was repealed and the Council needs to look at that option again. 

 

Blair:   Agreed, we should have a fee in lieu for tot lots.  They are a waste of land.  Public Works chose new consultant for the rate study and she would like to look at other options for Planning instead of using BHC. 

 

Executive Session:  On a motion by Councilmember Seehuus, seconded by Councilmember Flower, the Council adjourned to executive session for fifteen minutes to discuss Union Negotiations.  All ayes.

 

Adjournment:  On a motion by Councilmember Blair, seconded by Councilmember Flower, the meeting adjourned at 9:05 PM.

CITY OF SULTAN PUBLIC HEARING – July 27, 2006

 

Public Hearing - WWTP Engineering Report:

The public hearing on WWTP Engineering Study was to order in the Community Center by Mayor Tolson.  Councilmembers present:  Champeaux, Wiediger, Slawson, Flower and Blair.  There were no objections to the Council participation.

 

Staff:

Connie Dunn, Public Works Director, advised that the Stakeholders Group has held several meetings and a public workshop was held in June to discuss the options for the upgrade to the Wastewater Treatment Plant.  The report has been submitted to the Department of Ecology for review and comment. 

 

Bill McCarthy, Brown and Caldwell, provided an overview and summary of the process used to develop the report.  The Department of Ecology has requested that the name of the report be changed to an Engineering Report instead of a “Facility Plan”.   Several alternatives were considered and each one was subject to an evaluation criteria to come up with the preferred alternative.  The preferred alternative consists of a new membrane bioreactor to treat base sanitary flow.  The work will be done in three phases over several years.  The City needs to work on financing strategy which will include use of city funds, developer fees, low interest loans and possible revenue bonds. 

 

Council discussed the amount of reserve funds available, increase in the costs, funding and the need for a rate study. 

 

Public Input:

Garth York:  As a member of the committee he is frustrated by the report.  The committee looked at option 3 and the fees are considerably higher then discussed with the group.  It is hard to believe that the cost has increased from $11 million to $18 million.  Need to look at connection fee and when the developer will have to pay the fee.

 

Wayne Falstead:  Asked if this option is the most expensive one and how much cheaper the lowest option was and if they are convinced that option 3 is the best choice. 

 

Josie Fallgatter:  The report is a good plan for the future of the city.  Had two concerns, that maps don’t present information in usable manner and the UGA expansion information may not be accurate.  There will need to be adjustments at some point based on negotiations with Snohomish County.  Chapter 8 states that the plan is dependent on growth and if it does not occur, there will be financial issues.

 

On a motion by Councilmember Champeaux, seconded by Councilmember Flower, the public hearing was continued to August 24, 2006 at 6:00 PM.  All ayes.

CITY OF SULTAN PUBLIC HEARING – August 24, 2006

The continued public hearing on WWTP Engineering Study was to order in the Community Center by Mayor Tolson.  Councilmembers present:  Seehuus, Wiediger, Slawson, Flower and Blair.  There were no objections to the Council participation.

 

Staff Report:

Connie Dunn:  Submitted the report and slides for the record.  Staff held a meeting with the developers regarding the proposal and they have received 9 letters of support for the upgrades.  Reviewed the process used to develop the report, the alternatives and the recommendation.  The recommendation is to upgrade to a new membrane bioreactor to treat base sanitary flow.  The upgrade will be done in three phases with the first to be completed in 2009 and the final by 2021.  Short term improvements will be made over the next two years.   Phase I will cost approximately $15 million dollars; Phase II cost will be $1.1 million and Phase III cost will be $1.7 million. 

 

Public Comments

Loretta Storm:  Asked what does developer participation mean?  (Connie Dunn advised that it means they will develop an agreement that they can pay for the connections upfront.)

 

Josie Fallgatter:  Appreciates the fact that the plan is being done, and is in favor of the plan but it seems there is a push to complete it to accommodate the remand process on UGA to the county. 

 

Rusty Drivensteun: Supports the plan and the sewer expansion.  Has heard that residential growth does not pay for service required and that the way to increase business growth is to increase residential.  The city needs a strong commercial base and they have businesses leaving.

The City needs to work with the County to expand the UGA now as they do not plan to address UGA expansions in 2007. 

 

Neal Latta Has worked on several projects in the city and they need a plan before they can move forward.  Need to continue to develop the plan and move forward with all the parties.  There are benefits to the city and developers if they create a partnership. 

 

Wayne Falstead:  The plan is well done and there are good alternatives to consider.  The city needs growth and healthy cities grow.

 

Council:

Blair:  Planning for growth is the best way to have developers shoulder the cost.  The City needs rooftops for growth and need fees in place so current residents don’t bear the cost of growth.

Flower:  It is encouraging to see developers looking at Sultan as good business investment.  It is a good plan and the committee looked at several alternatives.  The City is moving forward during a crucial time period with the County on the UGA issues. 

 

On a motion by Councilmember Seehuus, seconded by Councilmember Flower, the public hearing was closed.  All ayes.
