Mayor Olson introduced an Ordinance which would authorize the ex- penditure of funds for legislative purposes. Manager Whorton then reported that a recent Attorney General Opinion,January 22, 1976, holds that while first class cities or other charter cities. optional municipal code cities and charter counties possess the authority to expend funds for lobbying efforts, they cannot legally do so without their legislative body first enacting an Ordinance authorizing these activities. Manager Whorton further explained that the definition of "lobbying" includes payment of salaries or expenses to municipal employees involved in providing information and/or testimony to state and federal legislative and administrative commi ttees. Mayor Olson read the title of Ordinance No. 1874 as presented: ORDINANCE NO. 1874 AN ORDINANCE, relating to municipal officers and employees; authorizing the employment of repre- sentatives for gathering, analyzing and presentation of information to legislative and administrative bodies; authorizing payment for such services and reimbursement for expenses incurred in connection therewith. Councilman Wray moved the Council adopt the foregoing Ordinance as read by title by Mayor Olson. The motion was seconded by Councilman Haguewood and unanimously passed by the Counci 1. 6. Parks and Recreation Director Don Frizzell reported to the Council concerni ng the avail abi 1 i ty of matchi ng fund grants from the Washington State Bicentennial Commission. Mr. Frizzell informed the Council that the deadline for making application for a matching fund grant was February 27, 1976, therefore, Mayor Olson and Manager Whorton submitted a grant application to the Washington State American Revolution Bicentennial Commission on February 26, 1976 for $3,000 matching funds for the construction of an appropriate housing for the replica of the Liberty Bell which is being acquired through a total community effort; the 1976 Budget contains appropriated funds to cover the City's share of the matching funds in the amount of $3,000. The submitted grant'application was now before the Council for ratification. Councilman Haguewood moved the Council approve the grant application as submitted. The motion was seconded by Council- man Hordyk and carried. The Council also discussed with Manager Whorton, D. Frizzell and Bill Smith the location, design, and responsibility for construction of the bell housing, which resulted in Mayor Olson appointing a committee to pursue this matter and provide a recommendation report to the Council. The Committee consists of Bill Smith of the Lions Club, Park and Recreation Director Frizzell, Leo White, Councilman Hordyk, and a member of the Park Board. 7. The Council took under consideration the Ordinance to effect an increase in parking violation rates from $0.50 to $1.00 which the Council had tentatively approved at the February 17, 1976 meeting. A letter signed by Mer1 Earlywine, Secretary, Culinary and Bartenders Local 417, opposing the proposed increase was read by'Mayor Olson. The Council discussed the limited downtown parking problems, parking meters, and operating and maintenance costs associated with parking, the consensus being that increased operating and main- tenance costs justify increased violation rates.

The motion was seconded by Councilman Hordyk and passed by the Council. 15. In reference 'to the Oil Port matter, Manager Whorton reported that he has received two inquiries in the past week relating to what action, if any, the Council may have taken on the C.O.C. Board of Director's request letter that the City assign a task force to study the impact effects of an Oil Port being located within the Port Angeles immediate area. Considerable discussion was devoted to this subject during which several Councilmen expressed their views on this issue in light of the information that is currently available on the subject. It was the consensus of the Council that due to immediate pressing City problems, the Oil Port matter should be deferred, for the time being, to the C1a11am County Governmental Council who have taken this project in hand and have a public hearing scheduled for March 17, 1976. The Council requested Manager Whorton to so inform the Chamber of Commerce by letter of the Council's decision. Councilman Hordyk recommended that the feasibility of a blanket "Community Impact" Ordinance should be legally researched and pursued, with work sessions scheduled to discuss the details of this matter. 16. At this point in the proceedings, the Council referred back to Agenda Item No.8 relating to the City's Water Supply as Mark Spahr of O.S.H.S. had arrived. Manager Whorton briefly reviewed the situation to date indicating the decision currently before the Council concerning upgrading the City's water supply to meet State and Federal water quality standards is the selection of an alternative and the subsequent notification to D.S.H.S. of the Council's decision, The alternatives the Council have before them to consider are a Elwha River Ranney Collector System, a Morse Creek Filtration Plant, or "no action," Manager Whorton explained. He also pointed out the advantages and disadvantages associated with each alternative and stated that the estimated cost of either the Ranney Collector System or the Morse Creek Filtration Plant is approximately 3.1 to 3.2 million dollars. Mark Spahr discussed with the Council the Ranney Collector System alternative and the "no action" on the part of the Council alterna- tive. He pointed out that it is his understanding that the Ranney Corporation guarantees that their system produces water quality of acceptable standards. He also informed the Council that in his opinion the "no action" alternative is not a viable alter- native and explained in detail the reasons why. Information regarding funds that are available through the state for improve- ments to municipal water systems and the restrictions attached to the funding, was also provided by Mr. Spahr. 88 City Council Meeting March I, 1976 V I LEG ISLATION 16. Continued. Councilman Buck moved that the Council direct City management to proceed with the investigation of the feasibility and funding of the development of a filtration plant preferably located in an area to service the present Morse Creek water supply and the future I possibility of a water supply from the Elwha River, with manage- ment presenting th~ Council with a written report as soon as possible. ' ' The motion was seconded by Councilman Anderson. The discussion con- tinued with regards to funds that may be available from the Federal Government for domestic water improvements. V. Cameron of the Economic Development Administration was in attendance and the Council discussed at length this aspect of financial assistance with Mr. Cameron. Other areas also discussed during this period included meters and rates and their associated relationship to state and federal funding possibilities. On call for the question on the motion before the Council, the motion was unanimously carried. 17. Mayor Olson read a letter from Congressman Bonker's Office informing the Council of a bill the Congressman has introduced to revise the boundaries of Olympic National Park and requesting appropriate comments from the Council. Councilman Hordyk moved the Council direct Manager Whorton to write a letter to Congressman Bonker opposing any additional acquisition of land by the Olympic National Park, basically for economic reasons as this results in a reduction of the County's tax base. The motion was seconded by Councilman Wray. After a brief discussion, the question was called for by Councilman Wray, and the motion was carried by the Council with Councilman Buck voting "NO." j 1.
