CITY COUNCIL MEETING
January 19, 1988
Councilman Hallett spoke in support of the motion, also referring to the
letter received from Angeles Temporary Services. Councilman Gabriel was
opposed, feeling this was too expensive. The Mayor spoke in opposition,
feeling it was City staff's responsibility not to let an employer employee
relationship develop and that the City would save dollars if they main-
tained a contractual agreement. Councilman Lemon supported the motion,
feeling this front -line position should have close supervision because this
position gives the first impression of the organization. Following further
discussion, the motion carried, with Councilman Gabriel and Mayor McPhee
voting "No

No. 1 for staff to provide more information on the year of the equipment,
mileage, possibly major overhaul that has been done, if it has been done,
and the condition of the vehicle before decision. Councilman Sargent
seconded.

in the Budget Narrative and numerous public hearings in November. Council-
man Gabriel indicated concern over a number of expenditures. On call for
the question, the amendment carried, with Councilmen Sargent, Gabriel,
Lemon, and Mayor McPhee voting "Aye and Councilmen Stamon, Hesla and

Ken Schermer, 738 West Sixth Street, representing the Board of Realtors,
received authorization to address Item No. 15, the sale of surplus City
property. He presented written information to Councilmembers.
Councilman Sargent suggested adding the Pledge ..pf Allegiance at the
beginning of each meeting and inviting different youth organizations to
lead. She suggested this be mentioned in the Public Information Newsletter
and encouraged staff or members of the Council who were acquainted with
youth organizations to pass the word along. She also asked the reporter
from the Daily News to help.
IX LEGISLATION

proposed revisions to the Ordinance. Mayor McPhee then opened the public
hearing, asking for comments from the audience.
Pat Gilbert, 2420 Woodside Circle, asked who maintains the files on pre-
vious incidents. He expressed his opinion that the license fee should be

owning a dangerous animal, and suggested all laws be pointed out in the
City Newsletter.
Elizabeth Watkins, Old Mill Road, suggested adding to the Ordinance the
requirement that owners of animals be required to identify themselves at
the scene of an accident involving an animal.
Tony Steinman, 617 West Ninth Street, did not see where we could restrain
cats other than putting them into a cage and was opposed to that. He felt
a cat on a leash was a joke. He concurred that the fee for cats and dogs
should be the same.
Karen Pappel, 620 East Seventh Street, supported restraining both cats and
dogs. She stated she was getting tired of these animals coming into her
yard and creating problems for her.
I`.
etherine Holl, 609 East llth Street, felt the implementation of an Animal
Control Ordinance was a good one, but urged the Council to look into
implementing a comprehensive animal control program which would include
low -cost spay- neuter programs and better enforcement of licensing to
generate funds for these programs. She provided extensive information.
She generally agreed with the new ordinance, but expressed concern over the
City's ability to enforce the ordinance, and Chapter 7.10.020 including
cats under the section of animals at large. She suggested leaving that
only dogs. She supported the idea of a trigger mechanism but questioned
the ability to administer and enforce it. She then answered questions of
Councilmembers.
Mayor McPhee asked for further comments. There were none. He therefore
closed the public hearing and read the Ordinance by title, entitled
ORDINANCE NO. 2475
AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles

For the sake of discussion, Councilman Hallett moved to adopt the Ordinance
as read by title. Councilman Stamon seconded, amending page 11 under
Section 7.06.030, Fees, to maintain an equal fee for dogs or cats; page 23,
Section 7.10.025, changing the word "the" to "a" in the sentence beginning:
"Upon receipt of a second written complaint from Councilman Hallett
concurred. Councilman Lemon discussed several items with staff. Mayor
McPhee asked that the Ordinance allow leashes .longer than six feet for
search and rescue or law enforcement dogs. He opposed the ordinance so
long as it included the restriction on horse -back riding. During discus-
sion, Attorney Knutson pointed out that the Ordinance already allowed for
an exception in the leash length for law enforcement animals. Councilman
Stamon then referred back to Page 39, under Section 7.18.030, inserting a
sentence prior to the last sentence: "Owners of animals involved in
accidents when present shall promptly identify themselves." Councilman
Hallett concurred. The motion then carried with Mayor McPhee voting "No
Councilman Hallett asked that the Council place, for future consideration;
discussion of spay- neuter clinics and education. Councilman Stamon felt an
appropriate time to discuss this would be during the budget process.

Councilman Stamon seconded.
Jeff Manchester, Manager of James River, addressed the Council briefly,
stating he and representatives from Daishowa were available to answer
questions. He explained they had a tentative transaction date of February

of January 5th

would relinquish the gavel to Councilman Stamon as Mayor Pro Tem if so
desired. Councilman Stamon preferred playing it by ear. No other objec-
tions arose.
A. City Manager's Contract Amended
Councilman Gabriel moved to accept the Memorandum of Understanding as is,
with the exception that Item No. 4 under general provisions be completely
eliminated. Councilman Lemon seconded. Councilman Stamon opposed
eliminating this section.
Councilman Lemon stated he was more comfortable, after looking at the RCW
and talking with the City Manager, with eliminating this section. Council-
man Stamon was concerned that this provided no provision for re- opening the
Agreement, should either party choose to do so at any time.

918
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
January 19, 1988
She supported adopting amendments included in Attachment "B Councilman
Lemon strongly supported the motion. He stated the RCW clearly defined
what the City Manager's job is.
Councilman Gabriel felt that a two -year term did make this a contract and
it was not supposed to be a contract; rather, a Memorandum of Understand-
ing. He felt the more appropriate way to handle this would be through an
ordinance but did not think according to the law that we should have a
contract, and by eliminating this two -year term, it would make it very
clear that it was not a contract.
Councilman Hallett could see nothing wrong with the contract as it existed.
Mayor McPhee stated there were those who had a concern that this didn't
directly concur with thr requirement of the RCW that a city manager be
retained only for an indefinite term. He stated there were those who
claimed the reference to two years might be construed by some to be giving
it a definite term.
Councilman Hallett stated there were those that would disagree with that.
Councilman Stamon reiterated that Attachment "B" made no reference to a
two -year period and also provided for an annual performance appraisal,
which was an important thing to have in the contract.
On call for the question, the motion carried with Councilmen Lemon, Gabriel
and Sargent voting "Aye Councilman Hallett, Hesla and Stamon voting "No
and Mayor McPhee breaking the tie with an "Aye" vote.
B. Implementation of Signs on Mechanized Garbage Containers Delayed
Councilman Stamon, in consideration of an article in the Chronicle this
past week, moved to delay action on this item until Councilmembers had the
opportunity to discuss this with members of the community of Sequim. She
stated apparently they have not had good success in placing labels on their
garbage cans, other than to cost the City an additional sum of money. She
stated we were looking at between $1,900 and $3,000 for this. She felt we
should not proceed until we were assured there would be some benefit to the
City and at this point, she did not feel there was. Councilman Hesla
seconded.
Mayor McPhee intended this be the first in a series of steps leading to a
more satisfactory solution, and possibly a County -wide management of the
solid waste problem. He felt this would make it easier for the City to
persuade a judge to give a financial penalty that hopefully would make the
newspapers. The next step he saw in this would be that we start a vigorous
recycling effort at the Landfill and eventually study the practicality of
forming a solid waste district so City residents were not carrying such a
disproportionate load in the handling of solid waste. Councilman Stamon
was concerned with where the manpower was going to come from for enforce-
ment.
Councilman Hallett stressed that if the Mayor wanted to increase the budget
by adding this expenditure, he specify which line 4tem he wanted this to
come from. Councilman Hallett pointed out this was only the first meeting
and already Mayor McPhee was increasing the budget. The motion then
carried, with Councilmen Lemon and Mayor McPhee voting "No
Councilman Stamon felt Mayor McPhee's concern and effort were admirable.
She felt that the problem might need to be resolved, rather than by
piece -meal solutions, a study and recommendations by the Committee which
had been established to address solid waste in the County, and then
implemented on a larger scale.
C. Accounts 4310, 4901, 4910 and 4920 Budgets Reduced
Councilman Lemon, for the sake of discussion, moved that Accounts 4310,
4910, and 4920, be limited to the expenditures of the 1983 budget plus an
accumulated increase for inflation of 14.55 and Account 4901 to the 1984
level with the same provisions. Councilman Gabriel seconded.
Councilman Hallett asked why. He stated this Council, including Council
members- elect, had approved the budget as presented with inclusion of these
items.
-6-
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
January 19, 1988
Councilman Lemon stated that the previous Council had two years of exper-
tise working with the budget. He also stated that staff had computers
available to pull up information and that he had spent six hours one day
and only reached conclusion on four Departments. Councilman Lemon pointed
out under Travel Subsistence, the 1983 rate was $25,980 and the amount
this year was $54,220. He stated that was a 109% increase and was an
expenditure passed on to the residents that doesn't need to be.
Councilman Hallett asked if he understood the reasons for those increases.
He asked if he was looking at just the merits of the dollars and cents or
the value of what the programs were doing.
Councilman Lemon felt this was an undue benefit. He stated we were paying
top -notch dollar for professionals in the field.
Councilman Hallett felt these numbers could have been doubled legitimately,
and would still have resulted in substantial benefits for the City. He
thought they were reasonable, in line with the Goals and Objectives the
Council had set and unless he saw some compelling evidence to the contrary,
he was not going to cut those funds simply because economically they
appeared to be out of line.
Councilman Stamon shared Councilman Hallett's concerns, stating that the
Council had gone over these and looked at them on an individual basis. She
felt the message going to employees was that we should not be investing in
you and in your excellence. She stated particularly in the area of travel
and subsistence, the City of Port Angeles was well represented in the State
of Washington and that every one of the citizens should take pride in that.
She stated we are one of the movers and shakers in respect to secondary
treatment, mechanized collection, and solid waste issues, as well as a lot
of other issues that face the City of Port Angeles and to just do an
across the -line cut without looking at the specific impact on each indi-
vidual budget was probably not the best way to address the issue. She
asked Councilman Lemon to give dollar figures with his projected cuts.
Councilman Lemon responded that under Account 4310, if you left Self -In-
surance and Esther Webster Trust as they are, you were looking at approxi-
mately $31,980. Under 4901, the total would be $15,645; 4910 would be
approximately $2,200. Under 4920, the amount would be $12,234.
Mayor McPhee spoke at length in support of the motion, agreeing with points
expressed by Councilman Lemon and emphasizing this would not eliminate
training.
Councilman Hallett stated that the cost of groceries had exceeded the
inflation rate and the rate of travel may well have. He had no problem
with suggestions to do the budget in a way that would be fiscally
responsible. He felt we had asked necessary questions during the budget
hearings and did not want to insult the employees and go backwards a giant
step to cut needed programs. He stated no one during the hearings had
argued about the benefit of the programs we had been involved in. He
stated he would not have a problem re- examining this had that question come
up, but it was implied through the approval that Vie value of these pro-
grams was necessary. He stated that if we approve of the value of these
programs, we have to pay the price in order to attend.
Councilman Stamon stated it was important to the City of Port Angeles that
our employees maintain their skills to the best of their abilities and our
abilities. She stated we face a lot of highly technical issues and we are
looking at tremendous amounts of money that we are going to be laying out
in the future for projects, such as secondary treatment, landfills and
waste disposal. It was very disconcerting to her to have to sit here and
have the message go out to our employees that we don't feel they are worth
sending to school for training. She reiterated that we examined very
closely and carefully this budget before it was adopted. She stated the
cost of schooling in the public school system, as well as four -year
colleges, had increased significantly. She urged the Council to carefully
consider this, and if they wanted to cut it, go back and look at the impact
of each Department and do it intelligently.
Councilman Lemon pointed out that the amount budgeted for 1988 was $54,220
for travel and subsistence; and the amount actually expended in 1987,
realizing this was only 11 months, was $31,868. He had suggested almost
$32,000 for 1988. He stated if you looked at the actual expenditures for
-7-
919
920
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
January 19, 1988
1987 compared to the amounts he had come up with, there wasn't a whole lot
of difference, although there was a lot of difference in the budgeted
amounts and what he had come up with.
Councilman Sargent stated it would have been more helpful if the budgeted
figures and the actual costs would have been on the same page. Councilman
Sargent felt it difficult to understand why, although actual expenditures
in 1986 for travel and subsistence were approximately $36,500 and in 1987
were approximately $31,900, why $54,220 was budgeted in 1988. She felt
this seemed out of line. With regard to schooling, she did agree with
Councilman Stamon that we do need to pursue this area. She stated with
technical changes in our lifestyle today, schooling is necessary even if
the person is well qualified.
Councilman Hesla concurred with Councilman Sargent. He stated our em-
ployees are our most valuable assets and these four line items were an
investment in our employees. He stated that with the high rate of tech-
nology, we were taking these into account in these budget figures. He
could not support making an across- the -board cut without any specific
reasons why.
Mayor McPhee believed that the Council was not saying they would not send
an employee to a valuable seminar. He felt the question here was, should
we be budgeting such a very high amount of money which was an inordinate
amount of growth when, in fact, we don't use the money anyway. He stated
that so far as the need to educate our employees, our employees were very
well paid, particularly management. He stated most of the people in the
audience, if they wanted to advance themselves in their careers, would have
to pay for it themselves. He stated there were very few people in the
audience who earned as much as some of the directors in our Departments.
He did not believe we were totally eliminating the possibility of someone
on the staff asking for an increase in funding to attend a seminar that was
absolutely essential to the City, but he thought it would be better manage-
ment on the Council's part to invite them to explain why it was necessary
after we reduce this to an amount that is more manageable and more in line
with what inflation has done to the dollar.
Councilman Hallett felt this would be taking over the administration,
rather than being policy makers and if this Council wanted to take a giant
step backwards, they would do it without his support, because he continued
to want to move foreward and do positive things.
Councilman Stamon moved to table this until we had time to get some infor-
mation from staff. This motion died for lack of a second.
The motion then carried, with Councilmen Lemon, Gabriel and Sargent voting
"Aye Councilmen Hallett, Hesla and Stamon voting "No Mayor McPhee cast
an "Aye" vote to break the tie.
D: 1983 -1988 Financial History Convention Center Fund
Administrative Services Director Wolfe provided updated information on
year -end fund balances. No action was taken. Mayo; McPhee explained that
this was simply informational.
E. Breakdown of 1988 Water /Sewer Telephone Budget
Mayor McPhee moved that John Hordyk be appointed as a committee of one to
determine the least expensive method of providing the communication service
proposed for the Water /Sewer Division. Councilman Lemon seconded. Council-
man Stamon felt we should provide the opportunity for other members of the
community to step forward to serve on this committee, as well.
Councilman Hallett asked Mayor McPhee if he was attempting to find the
least possible cost to do something. He asked about the possible trade-
offs in quality benefit.
Mayor McPhee stated what has to be done has to include quality.
Councilman Stamon had a philosophical difference with the Mayor contacting
individuals in the community and indicating that there would be appointment
to a committee prior to the time that the Council had the opportunity to
consider that. She stated as a courtesy to the other members of the
921
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
January 19, 1988
Council, it would be nice if the Mayor could at least get concurrence
before he went out and recruited people to serve on committees that don't
exist.
Mayor McPhee did not see any reason to object to an opportunity for the
City to receive a recommendation on how to save money.
The motion carried, with Councilmen Lemon, Gabriel and Sargent voting
"Aye and Councilmen Hallett, Hesla and Stamon voting "No Mayor McPhee
cast a tie breaking "Aye" vote.
Councilman Stamon again registered her opposition to this type of action,
stating it was arrogant at best. She felt the Mayor should give all
members of the Council an opportunity to address an issue prior to going
out to members of the community. Councilman Hallett asked that the minutes
reflect his support of those comments, as well.
Councilman Stamon then moved that staff contact other members of the com-
munity to serve with former Councilman Hordyk on a committee of three so
that there was ample opportunity for other members of the public to
participate in such a process. She stated this was a democracy and other
members of the community ought to be afforded the same opportunity to serve
on such a committee, rather than selectively picking members of the commu-
nity. Councilman Hallett seconded. This motion carried, with Councilmen
Stamon, Sargent, Hesla and Hallett voting "Aye and Councilmen Gabriel and
Lemon voting "No Councilman Stamon further stated that she did not think
committees of one were appropriate; that they did not give a very balanced
point of view.
Mayor McPhee and Councilman Stamon concurred that staff should begin
selection of individuals for this committee and proceed as soon as
possible.
F. Construction Project at City's Corporation Yard for City Light,
Water Utility and Service Garage Improvements Terminated City
Light Building Removed From Market
Councilman Lemon moved to terminate all design work, as well as construc-
tion involved in the Corporation Yard construction project immediately, to
be reviewed at a later time, and further that the City Light Building be
immediately pulled off the real estate market. Councilman Gabriel
seconded.
Councilman Hallett stated he was getting very, very uncomfortable with this
approach of the new members on the Council. He stated it was frustrating
at the least, and we were undoing everything that the previous Council did.
Councilman Sargent stated that during the election campaign, it was very
obvious that the public voted against the high expenditures made by the
previous Council and one of those items in the future was this $600,000
plus, to be set aside for the City Light building. She felt this was the
citizen input coming out now.
Councilman Stamon suggested placement on the agenda of a future meeting,
the direction in terms of consolidation of City facilities at the Corpora-
tion Yard. She then asked Councilman Lemon for clarification on the reason
he was asking to remove the City Light Building from the market.
Councilman Lemon stated this was to nip the tip of the iceberg and this was
a perfectly functional building as it exists right now. He believed very
strongly that this was an unnecessary expense after reading Light Director
Orton's memo and examining the appraisal, as well as during his campaign
talking to people involved at City Light who felt their building was
adequate. He felt at this point in time we didn't need to pass this
unnecessary expenditure on to the citizens.
Following further discussion, Councilman Hallett moved to table this item
for further discussion. Councilman Stamon seconded. This motion failed,
with Councilmen Hallett, Hesla and Stamon voting "Aye Councilmen Gabriel,
Sargent and Lemon voting "No and Mayor McPhee breaking the tie with a
"No" vote.
922
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
January 19, 1988
The original motion then carried, with Councilmen Sargent, Gabriel and
Lemon voting "Aye Councilmen Hallett, Hesla and Stamon voting "No and
Mayor McPhee breaking the tie with an "Aye" vote.
Councilman Stamon pointed out that at the current time we have a contract
underway with an architect to design facilities at the Corporation Yard and
as a point of order, she suggested that they may wish to instruct staff to
proceed to break that contract with that architect. Councilman Hallett
wanted it on record that he objected to this. Councilman Stamon suggested
this be by motion so it was very clear.
Councilman Lemon moved to instruct staff to instruct the architect to cease
design work. Councilman Gabriel seconded. Councilman Sargent asked that
staff review the contract to determine what the City's liability is.
Attorney Knutson said he would have to check, but believed the contract was
a standard one which would allow the City to terminate, but that the City
would be liable for all work completed up to this time. The motion
carried, with Councilmen Lemon, Sargent and Gabriel voting "Aye Council-
men Hallett, Hesla and Stamon voting "No and Mayor McPhee breaking the
tie with an "Aye" vote.
Councilman Hallett stated this disturbed him, because the Council had just
done something and was now trying to figure out what they had done. He
was concerned the Council might get sued. Attorney Knutson suggested that
if there was a question about the terms of the contract, staff bring the
contract back to the Council.
It now being 10:00, Councilman Stamon moved to continue with the items on
the agenda. Councilman Sargent seconded and the motion carried.
BREAK
The meeting was recessed for a break from approximately 10:02 until 10:17
P.M.
5. Arbitrator's Recommendation Accepted on Employee Grievance
Councilman Hesla moved to accept the Arbitration Board's recommendation and
adopt it regarding the IBEW grievance. Councilman Stamon seconded. Coun-
cilman Lemon asked if the Council had access to the minor position. Attor-
ney Knutson stated he did not believe there was a minority decision that
was put in writing. Mayor McPhee stated that we had heard one side, and we
knew someone had objected, but there was a minority position apparently,
because they did not concur with the majority of the board. He asked if
there was anyone on the staff who could give an overview of that position.
Manager Flodstrom explained that staff had recommended either accepting the
Arbitrator's recommendation or completely opening the record for a thorough
review by Councilmembers in an effort to be fair to all of the parties.
Following further discussion and debate, the motion carried.
6. Grant for Waterfront Trail Accepted
Councilman Hallett moved to authorize the Mayor.sigi the grant documents.
Councilman Stamon seconded. Councilman Stamon announced that a meeting
would be held tomorrow night in the City Council Chambers at 7:30 P.M.
regarding the Waterfront Trail and invited any interested members of the
public to attend. Councilman Hallett commended the Soroptomists for their
involvement in this project. The motion carried.
7. Grant from Department of Energy to Review Waste -To- Energy Concept
Accepted
Councilman Lemon moved that the Council authorize staff to accept the grant
from the Washington State Department of Energy for a waste -to- energy
feasibility study for Port Angeles and Clallam County and authorize the
Mayor to execute the contract with the Department of Energy. Councilman
Sargent seconded the motion, which carried.
8. Contract With R. W. Beck to Undertake a Waste -To- Energy Study
Authorized
Councilman Stamon moved to concur with the recommendation of City Light and
Public Works and enter into a contract with R. W. Beck Associates for the
purpose of performing the work of a waste -to- energy feasibility study as
-10-
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
January 19, 1988
outlined in the grant from the Washington State Department of Energy.
Councilman Hallett seconded. Councilman Hesla suggested this contract
include consideration of a solid waste district. Council debated the issue
at great length, with Councilman Sargent asking if there were no local
engineers qualified for this project.
Mayor McPhee felt we should do everything in our power to encourage
engineers in this field to set up shop here, instead of in Seattle. He
wanted staff to contact some of the local engineering firms and give them a
couple of weeks to gather a team together and respond to this sort of
study. He stated we have to create an atmosphere that is conducive to
attracting engineers thinking of moving out of the high rent areas in
Seattle, Tacoma, Los Angeles, or San Francisco. He voiced opposition to
the motion, stating this was giving another contract to an out -of -town firm
when we apparently hadn't approached local engineers.
Councilman Hallett stated that it had been a long -term policy of the
previous Council that whenever and wherever possible we attempt to do as
much City work as we can with the most qualified firm. Hopefully, that
most qualified firm would be in the City of Port Angeles. He assumed that
Public Works Director Pittis had reviewed the qualified contractor list
and, in his opinion, there was not a local firm qualified.
Public Works Director Pittis explained the process that would need to be
used if this approach was not preferred by the Council. During discussion,
Public Works Director Pittis explained that the list of qualified bidders
was due to come back to the Council in about two weeks for renewal, because
it was a little over a year old. He did feel that we were in the middle
with this contract and if we wanted to proceed in a relatively fast
fashion, then R. W. Beck was a firm that we knew could do it and was
working for us currently.
Councilman Lemon was also in favor of creating an atmosphere in this area
to draw engineers here, to use local engineers, and to look for their
specialized expertise. He stated there was a local engineer present
tonight and that he was not going to do something he was not capable of
doing. He stated he would be able to go out and look for needed expertise.
He felt there were areas we had some very qualified people in Port Angeles
that might not be able to do the whole project, but could be a sub-con-
tractor. That way the money would stay in Port Angeles and the community
would totally benefit.
Public Works Director Pittis explained that R. W. Beck had assisted in the
preparation of the grant application and did not know whether not using
them would jeopardize that grant. Conservation Manager Hardy explained
that there were deadlines for acceptance of the grant and execution of a
contract. Councilman Stamon did not want to end up losing the grant
application.
Councilman Sargent felt it would be prudent in this instance to go ahead
with R. W. Beck and ask them to utilize as much local expertise as
possible. However, in the future and in establishing the qualified bidder
list, she was interested in trying to keep the contracts here in Port
Angeles, if we possibly can, or in this area; i.e., Clallam County. Coun-
cilman Lemon concurred with Councilman Sargent. He felt that a part of
contract negotiations should be that we strongly encourage utilization of
local engineers as much as possible. He further encouraged staff to update
our qualified bidder list concerning the expertise in this area in the
engineering field. He was somewhat dismayed with possibly losing this
opportunity.
Councilman Stamon again voiced her concern about the possibility of losing
the grant in this instance and wished to allow the Public Works staff an
opportunity to put together the request for interested and qualified firms
in a less hurried and less rushed manner so that we have an opportunity to
give some consideration to the types of activities that are going to come
up in the future year and make sure that local contractors have an
opportunity to bid.
Attorney Knutson explained that legal requirements to select the most
highly qualified firm would pre -empt hiring only local firms. Mayor McPhee
questioned Jerry Newlin, owner of Northwestern Territories, a Port Angeles
based firm.
923
924
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
January 19, 1988
Councilman Gabriel felt very strongly about obtaining local firms whenever
possible, but in this particular situation, R. W. Beck had been involved in
applying for this grant and he did not think it would be prudent to change
this at this time, although he agreed with what Mayor McPhee was saying, he
could not see pulling this out from R. W. Beck in this situation. Council-
man Stamon called for the question.
Councilman Lemon asked for a friendly amendment to the motion that R. W.
Beck be encouraged as strongly as possible, to make use of local talent and
expertise to the greatest extent possible. Councilman Hesla asked that
inclusion of the solid waste district be added. Councilman Stamon felt
that was something that would be within the scope of the contract and
concurred with Councilman Lemon's friendly amendment. Councilman Hallett
also concurred. The motion carried, with Mayor McPhee going on record as
opposing the motion.

Commission. Councilman Hallett seconded. Following debate, the motion
carried with Councilmen Stamon, Hallett, and Hesla voting "Aye Councilmen
Lemon and Gabriel voting "No and Councilman Sargent abstaining. Council-
man Sargent stated there were four people that had come before the Council
tonight that were equally qualified in her eyes. She urged those people,
if there were vacancies on the Commission in the near future, to remain as
prospective candidates. Mayor McPhee indicated his vote would have gone to
Mr. Leonard.

Decision on the precise role and membership of the Finance Committee, Medic
I Advisory Board, Permitting Process Review Committee, etc., will be

15. Sale of Vacant City Property Through Local Real Estate Brokers

Council determined that two of the properties listed would apply, those
being the old City Hall at Front and Oak Streets, and the vacant property
at Seventh and Peabody Street. Ken Schermer, 738 West Sixth Street, had
distributed a sample listing agreement to Councilmembers earlier. He urged
the Council to enter into a multiple listing agreement with local realtors
to sell or lease these properties. Council discussed this at some length.
Councilman Stamon moved to refer the matter to the Real Estate Committee.
Councilman Hallett seconded and the motion carried.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
January 19, 1988
Councilman Stamon publicly thanked City Light staff, particularly Sheila
Hardy, for their work on the Conservation Program. She stated our
Conservation Program is recognized industry -wide as one of the top -notch
programs in the State. She also announced that the Clallam County
Courthouse has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
She mentioned an excellent article from the Exchange Club Bulletin on a
conference being held by the organization in June. She also referred to an
article regarding the Federal Clean Water Act.
Councilman Sargent mentioned the Clallam County Courthouse having been
placed on the National Historic Register. She announced that a plaque
would be placed on the building and some kind of celebration was in the
works. She invited all Councilmembers to be guests at the Senior Center
Breakfast February 1st at 9 A.M.
Councilman Hesla thanked the Port Angeles Exchange Club for attracting
their conference to the Vern Burton Memorial Community Center this summer.
He stated there would be approximately 150 people attending. He pointed
out that the Vern Burton was the key feature that got them here, so it was
paying off.
Councilman Hallett mentioned signage and Public Works Director Pittis spoke
about a sign prohibiting roller skating, bicycling, and skateboarding in
the Central Business District, which was on display tonight.
Upon inquiry by Councilman Gabriel, Attorney Knutson stated that if the
Council just attended the Senior Center breakfast without getting together
and discussing things as a Council, he felt it would be all right for them
to attend the Senior Center breakfast.
XI ADJOURN TO EXECUTIVE SESSION
The meeting was adjourned to executive session at 11:42 P.M. to discuss
