present development and land uses in the area indicate that industrial activity
is the most appropriate use in accordance with Land Use Objectives Nos. 1 and 2;

Councilman Hordyk moved the Council adopt the foregoing Ordinance as read by

implements the policy of concentrating specialized city-wide medical services

of commercial activity in conformance with commercial Policy No.2; (3) the
rezone will achieve Land Use Objective No. 2 by leading to the grouping of
similar and functionally related land uses; and (4) achievement of the
Comprehensive Plan Policies and Objectives is in the interests of the community
and general publiC. The motion was seconded by Councilman Gerberding. During
discussion on the motion, Councilmen Quast and Hordyk voiced their objections to
rezoning the hospital area bit by bit. On call for the question, the motion

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
February 1, 1983
Councilman Hordyk then moved that the Office Commercial zoning in the medical
center of the City (near the hospital) be the priority of the Planning
Commission. The motion was seconded by Councilman Quast and carried with
Councilman Polhamus voting "No".
C. White Creek PRD Park
During the January 18, 1983 regular Council meeting, the Council and staff
discussed the Park Board's recommendation on the proposed White Creek PRD park;
that recommendation being that the land remain in open space status through a
plat covenant and/or any development for a recreation area remain the
developer's responsibility. The Council then tabled this issue in order to
speak to the property owner, Mr. Bill Huizinga, and get his feelings on the
matter.
At this meeting, Mayor Duncan opened the public hearing on the open space
requirements for the proposed White Creek PRD park, and requested comments or
questions from the audience. Mr. Bill Huizinga then addressed the Council to
request this agenda item be tabled in order to give him an opportunity to
respond in writing to some of the conditions placed on the preliminary plat
approval, and also propose a new use for the proposed park property. There were
no further comments and the public hearing was closed.
Councilman Quast then moved the Council table this agenda item. The motion was
seconded by councilman Polhamus and carried.

RESOLUTION NO. 2-83
A RESOLUTION of the City of Port Angeles

Supply System Projects Nos. 4 and 5.
Councilman Haguewood moved the Council adopt the foregoing Resolution as read by
title by Mayor Duncan. The motion was seconded by Councilman Quast and carried
unanimously.
4. Power Sales Agreement: City/Crown Zellerbach
Mayor / Duncan referred to a memorandum from Light Director Lew Cosens
reco~ending the City enter into a power sales agreement with Crown Zellerbach
for the sale of "non-firm" power. Mr. Cosens explained that BPA has made
availaole to northwest utilities from now until June 30th an allocation of power
which has historically been marketed to California utilities. During periods of
peak water flow conditions in the spring, some power is generated which is in
excess of that which can be utilized by regional utilities. Because it is
excessive to our normal needs, and because it may be available only on an hourly
basis, it is labeled "non-firm" power and is sold at a rate far below the normal
firm power rate to only those customers which can qualify. Crown Zellerbach
Corporation has expressed interest to utilize the available non-firm power for a
particular load at the local mill. The proposed agreement would serve to define
the terms and conditions under which the sale of "non-firm" power would occur.
councilman Quast moved the Council concur with the recommendation of Light
Director Cosens and authorize Mayor Duncan to execute the power sales agreement
between the City and Crown Z. The motion was seconded by Councilman Gerberding
and carried.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
February 1, 1983
5. Proposed Advanced Life Support System Program
Mayor Duncan referred to a memorandum from Fire Chief Larry Glenn which updated
the progress of the proposed Advanced Life Support Program. As Fire Chief Glenn
pointed out, the only item of disagreement between the members of the Emergency
Medical Services Council was which entity would transport the Advanced Life
Support patient - the private carrier or the Paramedic unit. Following a
January 27th vote, the following proposal was agreed upon: the Fire Department
would provide patient transportation to a medical facility for all acute I
Advanced Life Support patients that require Paramedic monitoring en route to the .
medical facility, as decided by the Emergency Room physician. The private
carrier would transport all other cases.
The other major item of discussion was the best way to fund the program. It was
agreed upon that the most equitable way for Port Angeles and surrounding areas
to fund this program would be to levy a utility tax of approximately $1 per
month for the provision of a Seattle-type Medic-I Advanced Life Support System
for the citizens of Port Angeles. Commercial accounts would be approximately $5
per month. Fire Chief Glenn suggested that a questionnaire be issued with the
monthly utility bills inquiring whether or not the utility customer would be
willing to assess themselves this utility tax.
The Council then questioned Fire Chief Glenn at length regarding several issues,
one of which was why the entire Hospital District was not included in this
program as originally proposed. Chief Glenn explained that a levy to provide a
Medic-I type service by law would have to tax the whole district. That would
mean double taxation in the East End where Fire District 3 already provides such
a service. Fire Districts 2 and 4 may seek their own levies for the service
this fall, which, if approved would extend the advanced life support service
Hospital District-wide, through a contract with the City.
Councilman Quast then moved the Council authorize Finance Director Orton to
prepare a random survey questionnaire to be mailed with the monthly utility
bills to determine citizen reaction to paying a utility tax for this service. I
The motion was seconded by Councilman Whidden. During discussion on the motion,
the Council, Fire Chief Glenn and Manager Flodstrom continued to discuss the
district's participation in the proposed program. On call for the question, the
motion carried with Councilman Hordyk voting "No".
6. Real Estate Committee Reports
A. Request to Purchase City Property: G. Priest
Mayor Duncan referred to a letter from Glen R. Priest offering to purchase Lots
5 through 9 of Block 133, Thomas W. Carter's Subdivision, Townsite (property
between Frist and Front Street to the west of the Bushwhacker Restaurant) which
is currently owned by the City.
Councilman Quast then informed the Council that the Real Estate Committee was
split two to one to deny this request. Councilmen Quast and Polhamus felt the
property should either remain as greenbelt or be rezoned and then sold at a
higher price as commercial property. Councilman Hordyk felt the property was
useless as it now sits and the City is presently unable to fill in the gully and
put in a culvert which Mr. Priest could do. These two positions'were discussed

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
February 1, 1983
Councilman Quast reported that he and Councilman Polhamus felt the Council
should concur with County staff on this issue and recommend the County not sell
this property (County staff recommended against selling this property as it is a
steep lot with Peabody Creek at the east portion, and should remain as
greenbelt). Councilman Hordyk expressed his opposition to this recommendation,
since the City could receive revenue from this property and the adjoining lot
both in property taxes and sales tax if the property becomes operational.
These positions were discussed briefly by Councilmen Quast and Hordyk.
Councilman Quast then moved the Council concur with the County staff
recommendation not to sell this property to DelHur, Inc. The motion was
seconded by Councilman Polhamus and carried with Councilman Hordyk voting "No".
