AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles, Washington, revising electric
utility rates and amending Chapters 13.10, 13.12 and 13.14 of the Port
Angeles Municipal Code.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PORT ANGELES DO HEREBY ORDAIN
as follows:
Section 1. Ordinance 3080 and Chapter 13.10 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code are
hereby amended by amending PAMC 13.10.060 to read as follows:
13.10.060 Meters.
A. When any customer desires to ttsepurchase electricity for putposcs classtficd
under a metered rate as established by Chapter 13.12 PAMC, separate meters must
be installed to measure the current supplied at each rate, and the electricity passing through each
meter must be charged for at the price specified in the rate schedule for such separate uses.
B. The Department will make periodic tests and inspections of meters and will make
additional tests or inspections of meters at the request of any customer. No charge shall be made
for any such additional test if there is a meter error of more than two percent. If the meter error
is two percent or less, the fee for a meter test shall be charged to and collected from the customer.
If any test shows a meter error of more than two percent, a pro rata adjustment shall be made in
the customer's billing for a period of not more than ninety days prior to the date of the test;
provided, that in no event shall any adjustment be made for any period prior to the date of any
previous meter test.
C. The Department may install sealable locking devices on certain enclosures
containing unmetered conductors, including but not limited to meter sockets, meter enclosures,
current transformer enclosures, test switch enclosures, wire troughs, bus gutters, and terminal
boxes.
D. New or enlarged services to a duplex or a multiple dwelling building shall have
common areas and common equipment supplied through a separate house meter.
E. The customer shall not install or use equipment or devices to submeter electricity
for the purpose of reselling or otherwise apportioning the costs of electric energy usage; except
that the Department shall permit the apportionment of electricity for boat mooring establishments
and recreational vehicle (RV) parks under the following circumstances:
1. Electrical service to boat mooring establishments and recreational vehicle
parks may be master metered. The Department will not provide meters for individual spaces nor
directly bill individual tenants at a boat moorage establishment or recreational vehicle park for
which a master metering arrangement has been established.
•
•
•
2. Apportionment of electricity by customer - operator shall be considered a
service provided by a boat mooring establishment or recreational vehicle park. The charge for
such service shall be reasonable and nondiscriminatory and shall not exceed the operator's
average cost per KWH as billed by the City plus the operator's reasonable cost of providing such
service, and shall not exceed the proportion of the costs for which the boat moorage or
recreational vehicle park tenant is responsible.
F. Depending-on When the Department determines that, in the particular installation,
it is in the best interest of the Department to do so, the Department may provide a portion of the
customer's service entrance equipment. The type of metering equipment (which may include
meter, current transformer and enclosures, meter bases and junction boxes) shall be determined
by the Department.
G. As to monthly demand charges established under Chapter 13.12, billing demand
shall be based on the maximum 15- minute average metered demand or the maximum 15- minute
rolling average metered demand that occurs each month.
H. Meter sockets shall be placed only at those locations authorized by the Department
and shall afford proper protection to meters. In order that the meter can be easily read, the center
of the meter socket shall be located not less than five feet or more than seven feet above finish
grade. If, as determined by the Department, the meter is inaccessible or improperly located for
reading, the customer shall be required to relocate his service entrance to a suitable location or
the Department may install a remote metering device and all costs incurred shall be borne by the
customer.
61. Should the customer request additional metering equipment, the Department may
install such equipment as agreed upon. The cost of such additional equipment, including
necessary spares if any, shall be borne by the customer, including labor, equipment rental,
material and overhead charges.
The ecost of maintenance of such additional equipment shall be borne by the customer.
The charge for maintenance of such equipment shall be sufficient to cover the Department's costs
as determined by the Public Works & Utilities Director.
The Department may provide metering pulses from existing metering equipment at the
customer's cost.

hereby amended by amending PAMC 13.14.010 and 13.14.030 to read as follows:
13.14.010 - General Provisions.
The purpose of this Chapter is to ensure the safe and efficient use of overhead lines on
City -owned poles within the City's rights -of -way or public utility easements and to compensate
•
•
the City for the use of the poles. This Chapter establishes provisions necessary to ensure
compliance with : Chapter 11.14 Telecommunications, Chapter 3.70 Revenues and Fees, Chapter
5.04 Licensing, Chapter 5.80 Taxation, Chapter 11.08 Construction or Excavation Work Within
Rights -of -Way, Chapter 11.12 Right -of -Way Use, and Chapter 17.52 Wireless
Telecommunications Towers and Facilities, Chapter 296 -44 296 -45 Washington Administrative
Code (WAC) and the City's standard construction practices and specifications.
This Chapter applies t� all current or future electric and telecommunication system
entities that attach lines, equipment, or other devices to City -owned poles, also referred to as
"grantees" or "joint pole users ".
This Chapter does not apply to joint pole users who have agreements with the City for
existing line, equipment or device attachments, which agreements precede the effective date of
this Ordinance and are not terminated by the parties. This Chapter does apply, however, to new
line, equipment or device attachments proposed after the effective date of this Ordinance.
13.14.030 - Construction Requirements.
A. Construction Permit.
1. Use permit required. Joint pole users shall apply for and obtain a use
permit in accordance with Chapter 11.08 PAMC Construction or Excavation Work Within
Rights -of -Way. Upon completion of an attachment project, the modifying entity shall give
written certification to the City that the attachment project is complete and complies with the use
permit.
2. Certification of designs. Unless excepted by the City, cabling and pole
attachment designs, specifically relating to pole strength and clearances considering all pole
attachment uses, as required by Chapter 296 -44 296 -45 WAC, shall be certified by a designer
