Mayor McGlashan is upbeat about the City

Mayor McGlashan
by Diane Hettrick

Shoreline Mayor Keith McGlashan is feeling quite upbeat about the future of Shoreline, after the successful search for a new City Manager which culminated in the selection of Assistant Manager Julie Underwood for the job. (see previous story)

"I'm so pleased that the council vote was unanimous," he said, "it's such a vote of confidence and such a good way for a new City Manager to start."

"We realized right away that we would not be 'replacing' Bob Olander. How can you replace someone with his years of experience in Shoreline? So we looked for someone who not only had skills and experience but the energy and enthusiasm to help the City move forward and continue the visioning process. We found that in Julie."

The Mayor feels good about the way the Council worked together to make the selection.
"There were lots of passionate discussions," he said. "The Councilmembers have very different points of view and very strong opinions. But we listened to each other and were respectful of each other. We worked very well together."

I asked him why they did the big search if they were going to hire in-house, and he said "We didn't want to make assumptions. We wanted to know that we had the best candidate. There was very stiff competition, with very good applicants."

I asked if expense were the reason for limiting the search to a geographic area. He said that cost was always a factor, but the council was following the consultant's advice in only advertising extensively in the western states. Information was sent to every city in eleven states - hundreds of notices were sent out. And it was on the internet so people saw the information and applied from outside the target area.

So what are the main issues for the City, I asked.
"We have weathered some challenges," he responded. "Financially, we are very happy that Prop 1 passed. We are not totally out of the woods and will continue to control spending and look for economies. We need to find funding to finish the last section of Aurora. We have the Point Wells development. Staff and citizens have done good work on that and we are pleased to have the support of our legislators in Olympia. The next project is the development of Town Center and the Comprehensive Plan update."

"The City is moving in the right direction. We have had major accomplishments in the past decade, such as City Hall and the Parks Bond, and we will continue to move forward in a way that best represents the interests of the citizens of Shoreline."

Evan Smith: Ryu expresses support for Point Wells bill

By Evan Smith
ShorelineAreaNews Politics Writer

Democratic State Rep. Cindy Ryu told me Monday evening that her support for the bill to force Snohomish County to negotiate over Point Wells goes back to her local involvement.

She notes that she has supported protecting Richmond Beach as a neighborhood advocate, 32nd Legislative District Democratic official and Shoreline City Council member.

The bill limits development density at Point Wells to that of nearby cities unless Snohomish County negotiates over effects of the development with those cities,

Ryu praised Rep. Ruth Kagi, the bill’s principal author, for bringing people together over the issue. She said that Kagi has been gracious in consulting with her, with Shoreline and Woodway staff members and with neighborhood residents.

Ryu issued this statement:
“As a Richmond Beach resident, I feel that this bill is necessary to preserve our community’s quality of life. The people of Shoreline and Woodway deserve to have a say in a project that has the potential to drastically impact their neighborhoods. I am proud to be a co-sponsor to Rep. Kagi’s bill, and look forward to helping resolve this issue in a mutually beneficial way for all parties involved.”

Coldwell Banker Bain program to benefit young musicians

The Cascade Youth Symphony Orchestras (CYSO), which includes young musicians from Shoreline and Lake Forest Park, has teamed up with real estate brokerage company Coldwell Banker Bain in a new initiative to help raise money for the Seattle-area non-profit organization.

Each time a CYSO member, friend or relative of a member buys or sells a home with a participating Coldwell Banker Bain agent, the company will donate an amount equal to ten percent of its commission to CYSO. 

This program was brought to us by CB Bain Broker Jim van der Voort, who works primarily in the Bothell, Mill Creek and, Woodinville areas. “There is no added cost to the home buyer or seller,” van der Voort says. 

Also participating in the program are Coldwell Banker Bain Brokers (and well-known Shoreline musician) Ken Noreen; and Patti, Bob and Nolan Greene in the Shoreline/Edmonds/Lynnwood areas.

“This is a marvelous program with terrific potential benefit to the Cascade Youth Symphony Orchestras,” says CYSO Executive Director David Endicott. “In a time of significant national economic challenge, it’s a neat way for a CYSO friend who wants to buy or sell a house or condominium to provide a financial benefit at no cost. For other buyers or sellers who would like a referral to a terrific group of real estate sales associates, we’re happy to provide that.”

Endicott says several area senior living communities have also expressed a willingness to participate in van der Voort’s program. 
“These Coldwell Banker Bain folks recognize that moving to a senior living community has many challenges and they’re fully willing and able to help. In the end, everyone benefits -- sellers, buyers and those who understand the unique value of youth music.”

Coldwell Banker Bain established its Community Partnership program as a way for the company and its agents to give back to the organizations that are committed to the welfare of our communities. Since the program was created in 1988, Coldwell Banker Bain agents have donated more than $1.36 million to over 600 non-profit organizations in the Puget Sound area.

School Board calls on lawmakers not to impose retroactive cuts to K-12 funding

from Shoreline Schools

The Shoreline School Board has unanimously approved a resolution calling on the state Legislature and the Governor not to impose mid-year retroactive cuts to K-12 education funding.

Based upon the spring 2010 passed and published K-12 funding formulas, Shoreline and other school districts around the state issued contracts and developed budgets that were dependent upon those funds.

For Shoreline, the proposed retroactive K-4 staffing reduction would be approximately $800,000. Those funds been used to employ 10 full-time teachers in Kindergarten through fourth grade. Together with the other proposed cuts, Shoreline would be shorted approximately $916,000 for the current 2010-2011 school year, and the District will have to use its financial reserves to make up the difference.

Here is the full text of the resolution approved by the Board at its January 24 meeting:

STATE PROPOSED RETROACTIVE K-12 FUNDING CUTS FOR 2010-2011

WHEREAS, "It is the paramount duty of the state to make ample provision for the education of all children residing within its borders..." (Washington State Constitution, Article IX, Section 1), and,

WHEREAS, the Shoreline School District has thoughtfully and responsibly developed budgets for the past five years that lived within the resources provided by the state, federal and local revenues in order to establish fiscal stability for our educational community, and

WHEREAS, as has been done for more than two decades, the Shoreline School District, along with other K-12 districts in the State, prepared its current budget based on the firm commitment of funding in the legislatively passed and published State of Washington K-12 funding allocation in the Spring of 2010, and

WHEREAS, the Shoreline School District made 2010-2011 contractual commitments to certificated staff by May 15, 2010 as required by State statute, and

WHEREAS, the Washington State Legislature is currently considering cuts that include the retroactive elimination of funding for approximately 10 full-time teaching staff (10 FTE) currently under contract teaching Kindergarten through fourth grade in the Shoreline School District.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Shoreline School Board of Directors believes that the Washington State Legislature and Governor must honor their commitments for the current school year and not impose mid-year retroactive cuts, which would set a dangerous precedent for the K-12 educational system in Washington and be contrary to the State's "paramount duty."

ADOPTED by the Board of Directors of the Shoreline School District No. 412 at its regular meeting of January 24, 2011.

Shoreline Community College Athletic Department Announces Fall Academic Awards

The Shoreline Community College Athletic Department announced their Fall 2010 Academic Awards today, with 58 student-athletes having a 3.00 GPA or better, with 20 of those making a 3.50 GPA or better and one Dolphin Club winner, who has a perfect 4.00 for the fall quarter.

Athletic Director Doug Palmer.  Photo by Wilson Tsoi.
Athletic Director Doug Palmer is very happy with the results: 
“In the fall of 2009, we had 59 student-athletes with a 3.00 or better, so we are staying very consistent in our academic pursuits. Even with 3 new head coaches this year, the main focus of our department to produce good students has been maintained. We know that 99.99% of our student-athletes will not turn professional in their sport careers, so we want to make sure they pursue their academics at SCC, and hopefully are successful enough in the classroom to transfer to a four year institution for further social and academic development or finish with a certificate or associate degree that will lead them to a job or career in a field of their choice”.

Blair Stone, 4.0 GPA
Blair Stone, a 50+ year old student at SCC, who plays on the women’s tennis team, led the way for the academic clubs, with a perfect 4.00 GPA. 

The academic clubs consist of the “Green” Club (3.00 – 3.49 GPA), the “Gold” Club (3.50 – 3.99 GPA) and the “Dolphin” Club, (4.00 GPA).

Julie Underwood selected as new Shoreline City Manager

Monday, January 24, 2011

After hearing public comment and going into executive session for 30 minutes, the Shoreline City Council returned to the podium Monday evening to pass a unanimous motion to select Julie Underwood, current Shoreline Assistant City Manager, as the Shoreline City Manager to replace Bob Olander, who is retiring on February 23.

The offer is contingent upon successful completion of an employment agreement and a Council subcommittee of Mayor McGlashan and Councilmembers Roberts, and Eggen will work on that agreement.  She would begin the new position on February 25.

Deputy Mayor Hall gave the report, thanking citizens for all their input and noting the exhaustive process to go through 50 applications from eleven different states. Hall said, "The Council feels we have the best possible choice for the position."

Councilmember Roberts noted that the Council has been working on a replacement for Bob Olander since August 2010, and members of the public have taken the opportunity to comment during that time. He said, "We have a candidate who reflects the values of the City of Shoreline."

Mayor McGlashan commented that he appreciated the work of the Council, that "the members came together, worked well together and were open and honest with their considerations."

The meeting was adjourned at 7:53 pm.

City explains process for search for new Shoreline City Manager

The City of Shoreline is currently in search for a new City Manager to replace Bob Olander, who retires February 23. Interviews of the three finalists were conducted Sunday and the Council is expected to be in Executive Session Monday evening to discuss the interviews.  

The finalists are Brian Wilson, Police Chief in Federal Way; Julie Underwood, Assistant City Manager in Shoreline; and Larry Bauman, City Manager of Snohomish.

Critics have questioned why the interviews and discussion were not conducted in public, why Prothman was selected as the search firm, and why a nation-wide search was not conducted - all three finalists are from Puget Sound.

The City has issued the following press release, explaining the process decided upon and being followed by the City Council:

For the past 19 weeks, the City has been engaged in a recruitment process for hiring the next city manager. In August 2010, current Shoreline City Manager Robert Olander announced that he would retire on February 23, 2011. Mr. Olander has been the City Manager for Shoreline since 2006 and has been in city government for over 30 years.

One of the most important decisions the Shoreline City Council can make is the hiring of a new City Manager. The City Manager is responsible for implementing the City Council’s policies and running the day-to-day business of the City. Councilmembers have been involved extensively throughout the current recruitment process.

When the City Council learned of Mr. Olander’s retirement, the Councilmembers considered several options for how to fill the position. Options included conducting just an internal recruitment, having the City advertise and recruit for the position, or hiring a professional recruiter to do an exhaustive regional search. The Council chose the latter. Councilmembers believed that it was important to conduct a broad search to find the best possible candidates for such an important position.

The City requested bids from executive recruiting firms and received two. After a thorough review and evaluation of the two bids, the Council chose Prothman. Prothman has extensive experience as an executive search firm for local governments in the Pacific Northwest and has recruited for the City of Shoreline in the past.

Once Council selected Prothman, Councilmembers began work on developing a position description, a profile of the ideal candidate, and the criteria to be used in recruitment. Councilmembers sought input from their constituents on what they wanted to see in a City Manager and used the City’s 2029 Vision Statement as a guide in determining what to look for in a City Manager. Hundreds of Shoreline citizens participated in the development of the 2029 Vision. Sifting through such citizen input was instrumental in developing the position description and the candidate profile.

Once the Council had developed the criteria and approved the position description, Prothman advertised the opportunity across the entire western United States for approximately two months. Prothman also posted the announcement on numerous websites and in trade publications, and distributed it through city associations to every city in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and California. In addition, announcements were mailed directly to more then 900 city administrators and city managers in sixteen western states.

Prothman received 50 application packages. Nine applicants were screened out by the recruiter because their applications were incomplete or non-responsive. The remaining 41 complete application packages came from 15 states, nineteen of which came from applicants in Washington. Each candidate submitted a resume, an application, and answers to supplemental questions about how well they would fit with the Shoreline City Manager position.

All seven Shoreline City Councilmembers reviewed all of the applications. Out of the 41 applicants, the Council identified thirteen semifinalists for interviews. Prothman conducted phone interviews of the semifinalists and briefed Council on the results. Based on the interviews and additional information requested from the candidates, the city council narrowed the search to three candidates. who advanced to final interviews with the city council. Before the final interviews, Prothman conducted professional background checks on all three finalists and did extensive telephone reference checks with over half a dozen references for each candidate.

The City Council interviewed the three finalists during an executive session held on Sunday, January 23. In addition to the Council interview, members of the City’s Leadership Team, comprised of the department directors, conducted a panel interview and presented their findings to the Council.

Prothman has kept the City Council informed throughout the process and so far the Council has met as a body on five different occasions to work together on recruiting the next City Manager.

Shorecrest athletes have academic bragging rights, too

Athletes on Shorecrest teams are also maintaining good grades (see story on Shorewood teams). 

High school student athletes all spend a lot of time in practices, and in travel to meets. The more successful the team is athletically, the longer their sports season and the farther they travel for competitions. Often a student will compete in more than one sport and the seasons overlap. Yet students at both schools are still maintaining excellent grades. Kudos to them all.
