CITIZENS COMMENT Lary Coppola made a statement regarding a situation that occurred on May 2, 2010, explaining that while he realized that it's sometime difficult to separate being a public figure and elected official from being a private citizen, this was an incident that impacted him as a private citizen, and not as the Mayor; and that he accepted total responsibility for his actions, and fully accepted the consequences of those actions; and did not expect any special treatment and he would comply with all legal requirements, several of which he has already completed, without question. He thanked the more than 250 individuals, which include law enforcement officers, elected officials, friends, and ordinary citizens many of whom he'd never met before; that have taken time from their busy lives to contact him personally by phone, email, cards, letters, online media, and in person, with words of encouragement. As the Mayor, he asked that he not be judged by the mistake he has made as a private citizen, but by the job he was elected to do. Larry Debarthe spoke in support of the Mayor, nothing that he had complete confidence in his abilities as the Mayor. 3· APPROVAL OF AGENDA Councilmember Colebank MOVED and Councilmember Olin seconded the motion approving the Agenda.

On March 2, 2010, Rudolf Swenson submitted a Building Permit application for a Fa~ade improvement for his propetty at 710 Bay Street.

City Attorney Jacoby stated that at the April 13, 2010, Council meeting he was asked to determine if there is an encroachment issue. He met with Mr. Swenson and the Mayor to review and discuss his applications. From that meeting, it was determined that Mr. Swenson's project does lead out into the right-of-way; however, his design standards were in compliance with the Design Review Board. Further, Mr. Swenson would be meeting with the Washington State Department of Transportation to lease air space for the upper floor. Once that is received, the City can issue a building permit or Mr. Swenson can move the upper level back 3 feet to comply with all requirements.

Councilmember Childs voiced his support of the project, but noted his concern with the process of the Boundary Review Board and that more of the members should have been present (in person) during the review process; and to his knowledge none of the Design Review Board had seen the drawing or design element of the project, of which they approved.
