V APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF SPECIAL MEETING WORKSESSION JANUARY 13, 1988, AND
REGULAR MEETING JANUARY 19, 1988
Councilman Sargent moved to accept and place on file the minutes of the
January 13, 1988, special meeting worksession and the minutes of the
January 19, 1988, regular meeting. Councilman Gabriel seconded.
Councilman Hallett noted on Register Page 915, fifth paragraph, the correct
spelling: "Catherine Hall" should be Katherine Holl. On call for the
question, the motion carried.
VI FINANCE
1. Payment to Riddell, Williams of $1,065.79 Authorized
Councilman Lemon moved that we authorize the payment of the January 20,
1988, bill to Riddell, Williams in the amount of $1,065.79 to cover the
cost of legal services for representation in the WPPSS issues. Councilman
Sargent seconded and the motion carried.
2. Tree Trimming Contract Authorized
Councilman Stamon, speaking on behalf of the Utility Advisory Committee
reported that the UAC made a recommendation to the Council to accept the
contract and further recommended that we place this item on our agenda for
further discussion, in order to look at the process for solicitation of
bids; also to make sure that we use a process that encourages and allows
for participation of local firms who wish to contract.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
February 2, 1988
Councilman Hallett moved that the Council award the initial tree trimming
contract to Asplundh Tree Expert Co. of Bellevue, Washington, for a bid
price of $54,970; and that in the event our construction and maintenance
crews are unable to keep up with the tree trimming in the east half of the
City, the Light Department be allowed to spend up to the 1988 budget limit
(which is $65,000) either through the extension of the Asplundh contract or
through solicitation of new proposals; and that the Mayor be authorized to
execute that contract. Councilman Hesla seconded.
Councilman Gabriel expressed his concerns regarding this contract. Some of
his earlier concerns were that he felt the cost was too high, and that
Asplundh never came to see the actual worksites. He also felt that the bid
specifications were a little too stringent. He also was concerned with the
fact that December's unemployment rate in Port Angeles was 10.7 and in
light of this, we should bend over backward to make sure that local con-
tractors get all the information necessary so that they can submit a
proposal and have a fair chance at some of these.
Councilman Lemon asked for clarification and understanding as to whether it
was correct that with the Asplundh contract being for $54,970, it leaves
the remaining amount of $10,030 for doing the east half of the City, and
not for an additional $65,000. Light Director Orton stated that this was
correct.
Councilman Stamon shared Councilman Gabriel's concerns about awarding
contracts to local companies and pointed out that the decision upon the
Council was whether or not the bid we have received is a responsible bid,
and if that is the case, then the Council is under an obligation to award
the bid. The local contractors were aware that there was an opportunity to
bid but they chose not to.
Councilman Hallett requested that Council be provided with a copy of the
bid process so that the Council can better understand this procedure.
Mayor McPhee asked Manager Flodstrom if all Departments will make a con-
certed effort to ensure that we will have local bidders on future City
projects. Manager Flodstrom assured him that they would give local bidders
a better opportunity in the future.
On call for the question, the motion carried.
VII CONSENT AGENDA
Councilman Hallett moved that the Council accept the items listed under the
Consent Agenda, 'including: (1) Request authorization to advertise to
develop Consultant Master List; (2) Request permission to call for bids
1988 Equipment purchases; (3) Request permission to call for bids 1988
Petroleum products; (4) Request for progress payment to United Steel
Erectors for "E" Street Reservoir cover of $82,765.31; (5) Correspondence
from Washington State Liquor Control Board; and (6) Vouchers of
$1,862,008.42 and Payroll of 1 -29 -88 of $227,937.65. Councilman Hesla
seconded.
Councilman Hallett asked Public Works Director Pittis about the request to
authorize the development of a Consultant Master List. Was it a list of
consultants who can give us an indication of the services they might have
available? Public Works Director Pittis said that was correct. Councilman
Hesla requested Public Works Director Pittis include in the information on
the Consultant Master List, the process that staff goes through in select-
ing a consultant, and some general guidelines.
With respect to the two calls for bids, Councilman Hallett asked for
clarification on what the bids were for the first item being on the
January 19, 1988, agenda on which Council asked additional information, and
item 2 being a call for bids for petroleum products for 1988.
Councilman Sargent expressed her thanks to staff for providing the Council
with the additional information they requested in regard to equipment.
Councilman Lemon was concerned with Item #2 on the 1988 equipment purchase.
He felt that these items should be brought before the Finance Committee for
review. He urged that these items be delayed until they could be reviewed
-2-
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
February 2, 1988
by the Finance Committee, and moved to table these items. The motion died
for lack of a second.
Councilman Stamon asked Councilman Lemon if he was in agreement with any of
the fleet replacements. This would enable the Council to at least author-
ize staff to go ahead and call for bids on these items and set aside the
other items for further discussion at a later date.
Councilman Gabriel concurred with Councilman Lemon and strongly urged the
Council not to accept this consent agenda. He was especially concerned
over the dollars put into the 1978 Ford 10 -yard dump truck, Unit #1915.
Councilman Sargent pointed out to the Council that she had investigated the
cost of this vehicle and found out the modification of this piece of equip-
ment to be used as a snow plow accounts for the large amount of mainten-
ance, parts and labor.
Councilman Hallett pointed out that these items had been discussed in
budget hearings as well as Goals and Objective hearings. He was in favor
of calling for bids and if, in the interim, the Council wants to explore
this more in depth with the Finance Committee, or whatever they choose to
do, that would be fine, because when it comes time to evaluate the recom-
mendation on the bids received, we can then make a very sound decision.
Delaying the bid process puts off something that we are going to have to do
anyway.
Councilman Gabriel voiced his concern again about the cost of maintenance
of this one vehicle.
Councilman Stamon spoke in favor of Councilman Hallett's suggestion that we
go ahead and authorize the call for bids; and in the meantime, take a
further look at the equipment list and then make decisions over whether or
not replacement is necessary.
Councilman Lemon added a friendly amendment to Councilman Hallett's motion:
That the bids would be directed toward the Finance Committee at the time
that the bids are received, for further analysis and recommendation.
Councilmen Hallett and Hesla concurred.
Mayor McPhee questioned the reasoning behind sending more than one member
to a workshop and asked if it was necessary (Voucher #26264) in Public
Works and Administration for two Councilmembers plus one staff to attend a
recycling workshop. Manager Flodstrom explained that it was necessary, due
to the importance of the workshop.
Mayor McPhee asked why the Police Department needs two sets of RCWs.
Assistant Chief Myers responded that the two sets were needed because of
staff usage for reference.
The motion to accept the items under the Consent Agenda, as amended,
carried, with Councilmen Hallett, Hesla, Lemon, Sargent and Stamon voting
"Aye" and Councilman Gabriel voting "No
VIII ITEMS FROM THE AUDIENCE TO BE PLACED ON THE AGENDA K
-3-
Norma Turner, President of the League of Women Voters, read into the record
a letter regarding the practice of certain members of the City Council to
meet outside the regularly scheduled meetings of the Council, which vio-
lates the Open Public Meetings Act, quoting Chapter 42.30 RCW. In addi-
tion, RCW 42.30.910 contains the provision that the Open Public Meetings
Act should be remedial and should be liberally construed. She urged those
who participate in the private, non scheduled meetings, to reconsider their
propriety. She further stated that clearly the Open Public Meetings Act is
being violated. She further pointed out the problem of revisions to the
budget adopted for the fiscal year, quoting Chapter 35A.33 RCW which
requires an ordinance passed by a vote of one more than the majority of the
Council. This leads the League to conclude that the vote taken two weeks
ago to decrease the budget in certain specified areas is invalid for the
following reasons: (1) The budget reduction was not pursuant to an
ordinance; and (2) the motion to reduce the budget was not passed by the
required one more than majority of the members of the Council.
Mayor McPhee stated that he did not give up his rights as a citizen of the
United States to speak freely, to discuss matters that shorten the length
929
930
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
February 2, 1988
of our meetings, that allow us to speak more freely than we can discuss
here. The intent of the Open Public Meetings Act was not to restrict
councilmen from caucusing at all, but rather that there be no group that
gathers in a back room to establish what is going to happen without the
public having input. He saw no problem with the meetings, technically,
morally, or legally.
Councilman Stamon pointed out that when a committee of the Council meets,
the public is invited.
Councilman Hallett praised and thanked the League for having the courtesy
to take the time to prepare the letter, and stated he felt the comments
were insightful and that this matter would be addressed later in the
agenda.
Mayor McPhee pointed out that the Peninsula Daily News was invited to
attend these meetings, but they choose not to. Councilman Stamon stressed
that her point was that the public was not invited.
Jewell VanOss, 1019 East Fourth Street, a member of the Waterfront Trail
Committee, expressed her concern over budget cuts that may affect the hard
work of six years of trying to get the Waterfront Trail completed. She
asked that the Council give the Committee the support they need to continue
this project.
Mayor McPhee explained that the decision of where moneys would be cut from
the budget would be made by Manager Flodstrom. He then stated that he
would be strongly opposed to any action on the part of the staff that would
limit the successful completion of an activity, such as the Waterfront
Trail, that has taken so much work on the part of the citizens.
Councilman Gabriel, seeking clarification, asked City Planner Carr if it
was necessary to go to Olympia to apply for grants, or could it be taken
care of in another way. Planner Carr responded that going in person has a
strong influence on the success of the grant.
Manager Flodstrom commented that the City has had a very good success rate
in attracting grants. Elected officials or volunteers make big differences
to those people making decisions on grants if they can see a community
project, not just a project being promoted by the City or Parks Department.
Councilman Hallett felt that Mrs. VanOss' comment was very appropriate and
what she said was just the tip of the iceberg. Council should look at the
impacts the budget cuts have on other projects, instead of doing across
the -board cuts.
Bob Philpott, 1822 East Lauridsen Boulevard, felt that in time, Council
would find that the public is suspicious of having special meetings with
some of the Council people and not opening it up so that all the Council
people will know and understand exactly what the group is talking about.
It may not be construed as illegal in some cases, but the public is
suspicious of those kinds of three member Council meetings where City
business and agenda items are discussed. Mr. Philpott explained that the
Council meetings are lasting until one o'clock in the morning because the
present Council is doing such a "nit- picking" job on some of the items.
Teresa Zappey, the wife of a Port Angeles Police Officer, pleaded with the
Council to reinstate the training budget. Officers deserve to be trained.
Three to four thousand dollars isn't very much to protect the life of her
husband and the lives of the citizens in this town.
Mayor McPhee asked Manager Flodstrom to find out why some people think
there have been specific cuts of a nature like that, when that was
absolutely not the intention of the Council. It was the Council's intent
to cut out the waste.
Councilman Stamon asked for a point of privilege. Mayor McPhee did not
grant it. Councilman Stamon appealed to the Council for a point of
privilege. Councilmen Hallett, Hesla, Gabriel, Stamon and Sargent voted
"Aye" and Councilman Lemon voted "No
Councilman Stamon stressed that Council should calm down. The public's
reason for concern is because of the wording of the motion that was made to
-4-
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
February 2, 1988
revise the budget, which she read from the minutes. She stressed that she
did not believe that it was the intent of the Council to make severe
impacts on the training of our employees. The effect of the motion that
was made was to direct the staff to make cuts across the board on those
particular line items.
Councilman Hallett shared Councilman Stamon's views and asked the Council
to concur and move Item 6 on the Agenda to Item 1. Council agreed.
Councilman Sargent stated that she was assured after the last meeting that
the budget cuts made would not affect the training of Police, Fire and
Medic I, on which their and our lives depend.
Jim Cammack, 3752 Hill Circle, a member of the Civil Service Commission,
expressed his concerns with the budget cuts regarding training programs.
David Bruneau, 118 West Fourth Street, urged the Council to reconsider the
across the -board cuts, especially regarding training of Police Officers and
Medics. He could not stress strongly enough the necessity to adequately
train and continue to train Police Officers.
Jay Ketchum, 739 West Eighth Street, questioned the process of the City in
pursuing residents who are in violation of City Ordinances pertaining to
rights -of -way. He did not believe the City has the right to take the
ordinance and make certain people live by it and let others slide by. Mr.
Ketchum asked to meet with the Council regarding this matter at a latter
time.
City Attorney Knutson responded for the record that he has already taken
steps to answer Mr. Ketchum's concerns.
Councilman Stamon stated that this problem should be referred to the UAC.
Council concurred.
Richard French, 319 West Seventh Street, voiced his opinion to Council
about money difference of the 1988 budget as opposed to the 1987 budget.
Carl Alexander, 1712 West Fifth Street, asked permission to address the
Council on Item 5, Amendment to Council's Rules of Procedure.
IX LEGISLATION
1. City Council Confirmation on Budget Reductions
Councilman Stamon said she felt very strongly about the process that should
be followed in budget amendments. In short, her suggestion to the council
was that they identify those areas of the budget that individuals have
concern about that they would like to explore further, doing so in a public
sessio She moved to have the Council take a step back from what they
have done, possibly in a work session or public forum, and decide among
themselves and identify those particular items in the budget that they want
to further discuss. Set a public hearing on the specific amendments to the
budget to allow for public input and receive fu'tther information from
staff, with decisions to be made based on that information. Councilman
Hallett seconded. Councilman Stamon pointed out again to the Council the
importance of looking at the full impact of any budget reductions they
make.
Councilman Hallett expressed concern that any changes in the budget be done
openly and with the public present. The Council should address the people
in these matters to get direction as to how the moneys should be spent.
This requires difficult choices which have to be made by the Council.
Staff will then have the Council's direction to meet the needs of the
community. When we fail to involve the public in this process, we shut
them out. Let's make those cuts in light of what we know the impacts to be
on the programs that we have asked ourselves to carry out. We should fore-
stall making those cuts until we know the impact on those programs. In
closing, he stated that Council should strongly support Councilman Stamon's
motion.
Councilman Lemon commented that he was appalled, and re- echoed Mayor
McPhee's expression. He stated that the intent behind cutting the line
items was not to cut areas that help benefit the City, such as training for
-5-
931
932
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
February 2, 1988
Volunteer Firefighters, or their insurance, or the Police Department. He
felt that there are areas which can be looked at and that he wanted to see
what moneys are going where in schooling, subscriptions, dues, and that
type of thing. He stated that in order to make a prudent decision, he
needed that information.
Councilman Stamon echoed Councilman Lemon's concerns, and stated that is
exactly the kind of information the Council deserves and needs to have
before they make any decisions, whether it be budget or otherwise. She
further stated that she felt staff recognized very clearly that it wasn't
the Council's intent to jeopardize training programs for Fire and Police.
Mayor McPhee asked staff to provide the Council with a list of charges to
Accounts 4310, 4901, 4910 and 4920, with names of individuals involved,
for 1987.
Manager Flodstrom commented that he was concerned that two members of
Council have expressed the opinion that they are appalled. He stated that
it bothered him, because he did not want them to feel that way. He further
stated that he did not want them to feel that people were present because
either the City Manager or members of staff had "gone out and rallied the
troops" to come in here to express to Council concerns about budgetary
cuts. He told Council that staff was specifically instructed not to do so;
that we had a responsibility to carry out the direction of the Council.
Information provided by staff to Council will be unbiased information. It
will not be accompanied by public pressure in particular areas of interest
to staff. That is not our function or responsibility. Our job is to
provide the Council with the best possible information that we can so that
the Council can do the job. In closing, Manager Flodstrom apologized to
Council, stating that it was not his intention or the intention of members
of staff to set them up, and assured Council that was not the case. He
said he strongly believed what he stated in his memo and staff will make
that bottom line budget reductions and will clearly identify for Council
the things that can be funded with the remaining money.
Mayor McPhee, in answer to Manager Flodstrom's comments, stated that it
hadn't occurred to him that there was any attempt to pack the house, but
his main reason for becoming upset was that a Volunteer Fireman had
knowledge of what was going into the Council packet before he did.
Councilman Gabriel stated that his concern was the memo provided to Council
from Manager Flodstrom, which, in his estimation, had Council look like
they were attacking everything from motherhood to apple pie.
Manager Flodstrom stated that his memo cited only a small number of impacts
of the cuts and his interpretation of the Council's cuts. Since the last
meeting, he has spoken to members of the Council and now feels he has a
better understanding of the direction Council would like him to take in
this matter.
Councilman Hallett called for the question. The motion carried.
Councilman Hallett moved that Council restore Line,Items 4310, 4901, 4910
and 4920 to the previously publicly approved budget amounts. Councilman
Hesla seconded. Councilman Hallett expressed his reasoning for the motion
because of the comments and concerns as to the action of the Council, and
more importantly that this was done without public participation and
knowledge.
Mayor McPhee asked for a point of order, stating that these were not secret
activities but were agenda items, by line item.
Councilman Hallett commented that he was not making accusations, but rather
that the action Council took was not with the public's ability to partici-
pate in that action. He further went on to discuss the original motion
made in the January 19, 1988, Council meeting.
Councilman Sargent concurred with Councilman Stamon's motion, feeling that
it was important for Council to take a step back, and further pointed out
she felt it was important to clear the air.

Pub.: Feb. 10, 1988
Mayor McPhee said that the problems he has had with the previous Council
and concerns over the budget then are still alive and that we are now
addressing some of the communication problems they had then.
Councilman Lemon expanded on Councilman Sargent's comments, especially in
regard to this budget reduction matter. He felt that the procedure of new
Councilmembers was done unprofessionally; that the new members were made to
feel intimidated; that some members have been working on the budget for two
years, whereas he has only had two months.
Mayor McPhee called for the question and the motion carried.
2. Planning Commission Minutes of January 27, 1988
A. Parking Variance Sunbreak Tanning Lounge Approved
Council considered the request of Sunbreak Tanning Lounge for a reduction
of the required number of on -site parking spaces from 13 to 8, in asso-
ciation with the expansion of an existing business located in the ACD,
Arterial Commercial District, at 528 East First Street.
Councilman Hesia moved to concur with the recommendation of the Planning
Commission and approve the parking variance, citing the following findings:
(A) The reduction from 11 spaces to 8 is not a major reduction, causing an
impact upon the nearby area; (b) The proposed remodel will alleviate the
current poor parking situation; and (C) Peak parking of the business occurs
at off hours, relative to other nearby retail establishments; thus, there
should not be a significant problem. Councilman Stamon seconded and the
motion carried.
B. Minutes Accepted
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
February 2, 1988
Councilman Hesla moved to accept and place on file the Planning Commission
minutes of January 27, 1988. Councilman Hallett seconded and the motion
carried.
3. James River Franchise Ordinance Adopted

K

the Ordinance is written.

the Exchange Club of Port Angeles. Councilman Sargent seconded and the

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
February 2, 1988
5. Resolution: Changing Council Rules and Procedures Passed
Mayor McPhee read the Resolution by title, entitled
RESOLUTION NO. 3 -88
A RESOLUTION of the City Council of the
City of Port Angeles amending the
Council's Rules of Procedure by adding
the Pledge of Allegiance to the order
of business and amending Resolution
No. 13 -86.
Councilman Sargent moved to pass the Resolution as read by title. Council-
man Lemon seconded.
Councilman Sargent invited youth organizations to come and lead the Pledge
of Allegiance, as she feels youth should become involved in City govern-
ment.
Carl Alexander, 1712 West Fifth Street, addressed the Council in favor of
the Resolution but wanted to direct the Council to the Open Public Meeting
Act and cautioned them to take care in making sure they did not violate the
rights of the people.
On call for the question, the motion carried.
6. Committee Assignments
A. Finance Committee
Councilman Stamon asked for clarification as to the purpose of the Com-
mittee. Mayor McPhee discussed the reasonings behind the three member
committees and stated that by establishing such committees, it would be a
device to shorten the Council meetings.
The members of the Finance Committee will be Councilmen Hesla, Gabriel, and
Mayor McPhee.
Councilman Hesla moved to form the Committee and upon the first meeting,
draw up the Guidelines and then come back to Council for their review.
Councilman Hallett seconded and following some discussion, the motion
carried Wjo ;t�VV1 V1 °c1
C BREAK
The meeting was recessed for a break from approximately 9:00 until 9:20.
B. Permitting Process Review Committee
Councilman Stamon discussed the concept of the Permitting Process Review
Committee. She stated that she would envision the Committee as being a
fact finding body charged with all concerns raised with respect to the
permitting process. She also commented upon th'A procedures that the
Committee would be involved with prior to review by the Council.
Councilman Hallett said he felt the recommendation of Councilman Stamon was
a good one; he was in favor of proceeding.
Councilman Stamon moved to propose the following process: (1) Council,
Planning Commission, and Board of Adjustment meet to give direction to the
actual Committee in terms of what they expect to come out of the review;
(2) Council would then appoint a Review Committee and that Committee would
hold public hearings and begin the review process of the entire permitting
process.
Mayor McPhee voiced his concerns as to the stipulations given by Councilman
Stamon. He felt that the public was not being brought into the procedure
early enough and that the Council should determine what the problem is, if
there is one, before moving on. He also thought Council should accept
anonymous input.
Councilman Lemon stated some concerns about the process and offered a sug-
gestion of an informal "think tank having one Commission member, one
Council member and the public. The agenda would be the permitting process
and what would be appropriate, letting the citizens that we represent start
this, bring it to the Council and Planning Commission and the public.
Councilman Hallett felt that Councilman Lemon had a good idea.
After further discussion, Councilman Stamon amended her motion to recommend
that the review process go before the Real Estate Committee. Councilman
Lemon seconded and the motion carried.
Councilman Stamon brought up the subject of a Town Meeting and announced
that such meeting will take place February 18, 1988, at 7:00 P.M. in the
Council Chambers. She stated that she and Councilman Sargent felt this
would give the citizens and Council a chance to have an informal brain-
storming session.
Councilman Sargent stated that she was excited by the concept and she felt V
it would be really good feed -back for the Council and a great opportunity,
for the public to get involved. The ,Cou cil concurred with the plan. L, .iri Yri.. i

Councilman Hallett moved to have Council authorize the City Light Director
to sign the City /PUD and City BPA Morse Creek Transmission Agreement.
Councilman Sargent seconded and the motion carried.
8. Selection of Citizen to the Parks, Recreation and Beautification
Commission
Councilman Sargent moved to delay the decision, because five more applica-
tions have been received, until Council has had time to interview the
other applicants. Councilman Lemon seconded.
Councilman Hallett stated he agreed with Councilman Sargent, but pointed
out it was not a reflection on the candidate who was interviewed. He asked
the City Manager to set another deadline for applications. Manager
Flodstrom set this deadline for applications for February 5, 1988. Council
concurred to do the remaining interviews at the February 16, 1988, Council
meeting at 6:00 P.M..
On call for the question, the motion carried.
9. Coal Creek Contract Authorized
Councilman Hallett moved the Council authorize the Mayor to sign the con-
sent order with the modification as follows: That this consent order

Following further discussion of the contract, the motion carried.

The meeting was adjourned to executive session at 10:47 P.M. to discuss a
personnel matter.
At the request of Kevin Dolan, reporter from the Peninsula Daily News,
Council re- opened the meeting to public session.
Mr. Dolan stated that he felt the reason for going into executive session
was not a valid one. He was concerned that the item to be discussed should
be open to the public. He had heard earlier from Councilman Hallett that
the matter to come before Council in executive session was a personnel
problem regarding Manager Flodstrom and Mr. Dolan felt that any problems
concerning Manager Flodstrom should be discussed in an open forum.

to go before the executive session met the Guidelines. Attorney Knutson
told Council the laws regarding what can be discussed in executive session
are covered in RCW 42.30.110. The discussion in executive session would
have to deal with complaints or charges brought before a public officer or
employee.
After some discussion, Council re- adjourned to executive session at 10:57
P.M.

The meeting returned to open session at approximately 11:47 P.M.
