PUBLIC COMMENT
Matthew Rondoza ? ?, 1802 W. 5th Street, spoke regarding allegations involving City employees and former Councilmembers and encouraged the
Council to maintain transparency on all issues. John Ford, 174 Hoare Road, spoke regarding the use outside consultants to determine why
people shop outside of the City and suggestions on alternatives on how to gather information. He also spoke regarding the Waterfront
Improvement plan and how the length of time for construction is too long and he would like to see it completed within five years. Norma
Turner, 3928 Mt. Angeles Road, spoke regarding the recent special meeting on the budget, complimented the City on posting meeting recordings
on the internet, use of utility taxes, and a charge to citizens for new electric meters. Director Cutler responded that there will not be a charge for
the new meters to individual utility customers and requested that the citizen contact him directly for complete information. Tad Price, 1338 W
9th Street, representing Peninsula International Relations Association (PIRA), gave an update on the status of Mutsu City after the earthquake and
tsunami event. Cindy Sofie, 2213 W. 14th Street, also updated the Council on Red Cross fundraising collecting over $3000 along with cards
from members of the Port Angeles community that will be sent to Mutsu City. City Manager Myers also updated the Council on recovery efforts
in Mutsu City. Mike Brown, 224 Whidby Avenue, former City employee, expressed concerns regarding the cost of consultants using the
example of when he installed the sound system in Council Chambers and that work should be done by City staff; he also spoke in opposition of
the new water and electric meters; dissatisfaction with switchboard service when he called the City; and displeasure with the level of water
pressure in homes in his neighborhood. Mayor Di Guilio encouraged Mr. Brown to contact Public Works & Utilities Department for more
information.
C. CITY COUNCIL REPORTS Nelson had no report. Mania thanked Cindy Kochanek for the success of the recent Rock, Gem &
Jewelry Show; Downie reported that he and Manager Myers and West traveled to Bothell, Washington to tour their City. He reported that Bothell
stressed that it is important to recognize and engage the business community; implementing a community vision, policy and a sense of place for
their residents and visitors. He further described the process Bothell used to communicate the City' intent and plans. $150 million investment is
being made by Bothell in this effort. Downie and others toured the City and found the key element has been to identify successful regional
businesses and then market their City to those businesses to encourage them locate in Bothell. Bothell has also worked closely with the University
of Washington for research. Downie encouraged Council to stay the course as Port Angeles is on the right course and urged the Council to expand
the ad hoc group to include members of the business community and other Councilmembers to assess the right strategy for our community. Mayor
Di Guilio suggested adding this to a future agenda for discussion. Mayor Di Guilio reported that the Fire Consolidation Committee has determined
that it is not appropriate at this time to move forward with consolidation of the Port Angeles Fire Department and Fire District No 2, and the
committee does not plan to meet again until next year
