THE MOTION PASSED. 12* 19.to].-in :tx2*1.M Chief Ferris reviewed the written police report for January which is attached to these minutes. He reviewed an incident at the cul de sac at Points Drive where a driver from the Kirkland side of the road closure drove across the median strip and took out one third of the shrubs planted there. He was charged with reckless driving and the Towns can recover the cost of the shrub replacement through court proceedings . He has called the Town and is interested in making restitution. The information has been sent to the Town attorney. Ken Weinstein, Clyde Hill's Public Safety Director, reported that Chief Ferris has recently been elected President of the King County Chiefs of Police Association. Since the office is usually held by representatives of larger communities, this election is a tribute to the Chief's professionalism. He also reviewed current staffing projection: for the Police Department. The position of sargeant is being upgraded to lieutenant and two positions now being held by provisionals will be filled by full time officers. A full time secretary has also been hired. ENGINEER'S REPORT Town Engineer Alan Newbill reported on several options regarding the cul de sac on Points Drive relating to the incident reported by Chief Ferris. One option is to put in a guard rail. It could be installed by a company in Sumner for an estimated $19 per foot which would be $3525 for 175 feet. The guard rail would be installed inside the curbing on the Kirkland side. Another option is installation of jersey barriers at a coat of $18-20 per foot. They would be two feet E Council Meeting Minutes 2/9/88 page 2 wide at the base. A concrete pad would be required underneath the barriers. Installation costs could be an additional $2500. He estimated a total cost for the jersey barriers of $6000. The Mayor requested that Allan investigate other alternatives. In response to a question Chief Ferris reported that a work order has been issued for the removal of the temporary closure signs regarding Points Drive. Drainage on 91st Avenue: Further excavation of the Salvini property by the Water District indicated that the problem appears to involve culverts along the west shoulder of the street. Allan presented a drawing illustrating the system that was discovered when Rotorooter was used to investigate the whole system on the west side of the street. He explained the drawing which is attached to these minutes. There is an assortment of different sized pipes some of which are blocked, broken or missing. Allan has prepared an estimate for replacing the system from 4233 91st north to 4415 91st, which would involve putting in one new catch basin, repairing the one that does not have a grate on it now, installing 170 feet of 12 inch pipe and cutting and repairing several concrete or asphalt driveways. His estimate is about $11,000 for the project, including some design and inspection work. He feels that this may not totally solve the problem at the Saivinis' but the Town is responsible for the drainage system in the right of way. The estimate is for about $25 a foot plus engineering fees. There will be charges forewarded from the Water District for the excavation done as well as a bill for Rotorooter for their three hour minimum charge of $270. The Mayor stated that he anticipated that if the Council chooses to proceed with the project that the Arterial Street Fund which contains $60,000, could be used. The Council requested that Allan prepare a preliminary design for the project by the March Council meeting so that bids could be awarded at the April meeting. The Mayor reported on a visit he had with Mr. and Mrs. Baird regarding the drainage problems on NE 33rd. He asked that Allan be authorized to look into the problem regarding the lower catch basin and the pipes that feed into it. Arlys Gale asked about the sagging gate at the cul de sac. Allan will get the contractor to repair it properly. The contractor has a year's guarantee on his work in which to make repairs and adjustments. BENDER CHAFFEY SIGN REQUEST Don Bender presented a letter to the Council requesting permission to install a sign at the Cichy property which he is purchasing. This 4x3 foot sign would be larger than the 2x2 toot sign allowed for a single piece of property but smaller than the 4x8 foot sign allowed for a subdivision of five acres or more according to Ordinance 256. MEL FREEMAN MOVED THAT THE COUNCIL GRANT AN EXCEPTION TO THE SIGN ORDINANCE FOR A SIGN NOT TO EXCEED THE SIZE AND CONDITIONS OF THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED SIGN FOR THE BENDER CHAFFEY THREE LOT DEVELOPMENT ON THE EVANS ADDITION. CARSON WHEELER SECONDED THE MOTION. IT PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. mot" V _f 0 Qownoi l Meting Mi nutwN 2/Wee page '� ATTORNEY'S REPORT Ron Dickenson reported that he will be preparing a written opinion regarding use of the park property for Community Center. ROTOVATION Arlys referred to a letter received from the Department of Ecology regarding the contractor who did the rotovation. The project was not completed in the area outlined in the contract. The public beach was not done. The Council requested that a letter be sent to Metro stating that the Town is not satisfied with the results of the project. Ron's recommendation is that the letter be written saying that they are not in compliance with the contract. He will dictate the letter for the Mayor's signature. A copy will be sent to DOE. TREASURER'S REPORT Anne Mitchell presented a written report to the Council and reviewed the report for them. She explained her amended report for December. She reviewed the cash situation and updated the LID process. The notice offering the Bonds for purchase has gone to the Journal -American for publication. 1988 BUDGET After discussion of possible changes in the 1988 Budget as presented at the last meeting it was decided not to amend Ordinance 328 at the present time. MAYOR'S REPORT The Mayor reported that letters will be going out tomorrow to residents on 95th N.E. and N.E. 40th inviting them to a meeting on Wednesday February 24th at 7:30 for a presentation of the preliminary plans for the Community Center. A later meeting will be set for review by the whole Town. Ideas are being solicited for recommendations regarding donations. Baird- Foley Property Update: The Mayor reported on his meeting with the Sairds regarding the property. It is anticipated that the matter will be ready to go to the Planning Commission at their April meeting. CLERK'S REPORT The Deputy Clerk reported in the Clerk's absence. A request has been received from a resident for a Dead End sign at N.E. 34th Street and 92nd. It was decided to table the matter for father consideration at a later time. After an increase in complaints regarding uncontrolled dogs, the Clerk arranged with King County Animal Control for an additional patrol which apparently took place on the following Sunday. Questions regarding building in the Town right of way have been referred to the Building Official and Town Attorney and will probably be on next month's agenda. The Clerk was directed to proceed with the Substantial Development Permit on the beach erosion project. 0 Council Meeting Minutes 2/g/88 page 4 ANNOUNCEMENTS Jeanne Whiting announced that the Democratic Caucus meeting will be held at Clyde Hill Elementary School.

Mayor Richards noted that there had been major improvements in several aspects of the Town that must be continued, but that we also need to establish new goals for the next four years. Mayor Richards then elaborated on the following areas: Staffing Goals. That Clyde Hill has reached a level which will be able to provide excellent service to the citizens. Development of Police De artment. There has been funding for a 7th officer and the Civil Service Commission has completed the final process for an eligibility list. Approximately 29 applicants passed the written, agility and oral exam. The City of Bellevue also contributed Lt. Wehmeyer to partake in the examining process. In addition, the Chief's evaluation had been reviewed and any weak Points were strenuously emphasized to the officers. Choate Budd was introduced and welcomed aboard as the new Public Works -Supervisor. Completion of the Shell of the auxiliary building will probably commence within the next several weeks. Stage II plans are almost completed, with capital expenditures beyond 1988 Budget figures of approximately $15,000 expected. We have been granted tentative approval to transfer the $12,000 Block Grant Funds from the old Police building to the new addition. Parks are to be improved with appropriate funds in the 1988 Budget, with plans substantially increasing park area. This is in its preliminary stage. 2G CXCG� ';7T- %2---)1V�V � Council Meeting - 2/2/88 An unidentified citizen expressed concern that buses travel too fast on 84th and wondered if the Town could control the speed of Metro.

Mayor Richards reviewed petitions dated 2/1/88 and 7/28/83 relating to the Points Drive Closure. He reviewed language on the petition which originally requested permission to close Points Drive which stated: "Further, we understand that we will be assessed for the various fees attendant to the formation of an LID to include, but not be limited to, bond counsel services and charges by the city engineer for LID preparation. Such fees will be included in the final LID package, to become part of our total LID assessment." Mayor Richards noted that the closure resulted in increased property value and safety to the residents of Points Drive. Mayor Richards stated that the 1988 Budget did not provide for a contribution and that it had been anticipated that the Town would be reimbursed for the costs already spent. He advised that the suggested donation would, in effect, bypass the normal budget and public hearing process, and that the Town had to carefully consider all areas of need. Mayor Richards reminded those present that the closure of Points Drive had caused a signifi- cant increase in the traffic on NE 24th Street, which would require possible expenditure of funds. He stated that nine homes were involved on Points Drive and 58 residences front on NE 24th.
