City Administrator Jacobson briefly summarized the contents of the agreement with Shorelake Soccer Club involving the use of the interim city hall soccer field.

Cmbr. Armanini noted that she had spoken with Human Services Coordinator Tema Nesoff who informed her that this agreement could be approved at the June 15^th council study session since council did not receive it prior to the meeting.

In response to a question from Cmbr. Armanini, City Attorney Ruark said the words "special purpose district" on page 1, lines 5 and 6, of the agreement will be deleted.

In response to a question from Cmbr. Olstad, Jacobson discussed use of the field by the city and that more information on the various uses of the field will be prepared for the June 15 council meeting.

Kiest requested that non-discrimination language be added to the agreement. Discussion followed regarding liability, indemnification and hold harmless issues.

Armanini moved to place this item on the June 15, 2000 council study session agenda on both the second reading and final action calendars.

Jacobson briefly described the architectural selection process and those who were involved on the selection committee. He said it was the consensus of the committee that the firm of Arai/Jackson Architects & Planners be selected for the new city hall project. He introduced Steven Arai and Bruce Ellison of Arai/Jackson.

Mr. Arai noted that from the firm’s perspective, this project is not without any challenges but felt that with their extensive experience and background on similar projects, they are confident the objectives of the project will be accomplished.

Armanini moved to authorize the mayor to sign the professional services agreement with Arai/Jackson Architects & Planners.

In response to a question from Goss, Jacobson said that the space needs assessment has not yet started and discussed the process for this review.

In response to a question from Kiest, Jacobson noted that the issue of including art in the new city hall was bought up during the interview process with the selected architects.

Kiest expressed his interest in the use of recycled materials for construction purposes. Jacobson said that Arai/Jackson has experience with incorporating the use of such materials in the building plans.

In response to a question from Herzog, Jacobson suggested that the council may wish to revisit the issue of public art for the new city hall and the percentage to be allocated for this purpose.

Ruark gave a brief overview of this resolution and the rules of procedures proposed by the hearing examiner. Ruark said the resolution is limited to the appeal hearing for the denial of the Déjà Vu adult cabaret license.

Armanini moved to adopt Resolution 592/Rules of Procedure for Appeal Hearing for Denial of Adult Cabaret License.

Olstad seconded. The motion to adopt carried unanimously.

Jacobson said the use of compensatory time was deleted from this policy as requested by council at its April 20, 2000 study session.

Armanini moved to adopt Resolution 591/Providing for Transfer of Leave between Employees.

Herzog seconded. The motion carried unanimously.

Olstad moved to advance Ordinance 820/Relating to Beekeeping as a Permitted Activity to final action calendar.

Goss seconded. The motion carried unanimously.

Olstad moved to adopt Ordinance 820/Relating to Beekeeping as a Permitted Activity.

Sterner seconded. The motion to adopt carried unanimously.

Jacobson noted that a draft of the project schedule was distributed which will be confirmed following his meeting with the architect on June 12, 2000. In response to a question from Sterner, Jacobson said the contract payment is not tied to the total cost of the project.

Sterner reported that he and Cmbr. Olstad attended a recent Economic Development Committee meeting at which the committee discussed its interest in the sign code amendments. Members expressed interest in attending the July 6 council meeting at which the sign code amendments will be discussed.

Jacobson discussed the possibility of exploring a combined renter/caretaker arrangement for the Lyon Creek Waterfront Property residence. He has explored this idea with the Washington Cities Insurance Authority, and a copy of an agreement used by the city of Shoreline for a similar arrangement is attached.

Kiest said the city must be careful to make sure that the rent charged is at market value for the property. The agreement should outline how the caretaker responsibilities would be credited.

Sterner expressed his interest in allowing public access to the property. Jacobson said the agreement with the caretaker would outline duties and restrictions and would note public use of the property. Jacobson noted that the July 6 council agenda will include the Lyon Creek Waterfront Property master plan for review and approval.

In response to a question from Kiest, Jacobson said the issue of signage would be addressed at the time the master plan is reviewed and approved.

Councilmembers agreed that staff should move ahead with the caretaker/rental of the property as outlined in the June 7, 2000 memorandum from the city administrator.

There being no objection, the meeting was adjourned at 8:52 p.m.

Susan Stine, City Clerk
