ITEMS FROM THE COUNCIL NOT ON THE AGENDA
None.
VII LEGISLATION
l. Joint Planning Commission/City Council Meeting
Councilman
minutes of
23, 1983.
Quast moved the Council accept and place on file as received the
the joint Planning Commission/City Council meeting of February
The motion was seconded by Councilman Whidden and carried.
( 2. Presentation: Scott Hopper: "Stand Up"
Mr. Scott Hopper, a representative from "Stand Up", a local pro-growth
organization, addressed the Council to voice his concern about the poor
economic condition of the' Port Angeles and Clallam County area. To start,
Mr. Hopper pointed out that he was not associated with Northern Tier. How-
ever, he did support Northern Tier's proposed pipeline project, as it would
benefit the community in both taxes and employment opportunities. The area
needs a broader base of economy, Mr. Hopper stated, other than just tourism
which is handicapped by climate, the recent fish laws, etc. Mr. Hopper also
felt that the Council would be doing the citizens of Port Angeles a disser-
vice if they did not encourage some other methods of employment. Heavy
and/or light industry could be one avenue to pursue. Mr. Hopper's presenta-
tion also included comments on "Stand Up's" petition drive approximately one
year ago for support of the Northern Tier project, the Chamber of Commerce
membership decline and whether it was associated with Northern Tier, people
leaving the area for jobs elsewhere, and the Council's role in economic
growth of the community. The presentation concluded with Councilman Quast
commenting that the Council was not "no-growth" oriented but rather repre-
sented good growth and constructive growth.
3. Resolution: Lincoln Park User Fees
Mayor Duncan introduced and read by title Resolution No. 5-83 entitled,
Resolution No. 5-83
A RESOLUTION of the City of Port Angeles,
establishing fees for the use of Lincoln
Park, and repealing Resolutions 14-79
and 9-81.
Councilman Quast moved the Council adopt the foregoing Resolution as read by
title by Mayor Duncan. The motion was seconded by Councilman Haguewood.
During discussion on the motion, Councilman Hordyk questioned whether the
rental on the Longhouse was adequate to maintain it and if the rate increase
would reduce use of the Longhouse facility. Mr. Frizzell responded that
there could be a decrease; the $9.00 per hour rate for the Longhouse is
based upon recovering only the utility costs due to increases caused by rate
adjustments this past year. The Council also questioned Mr. Frizzell in
regard to the need to increase utilization of the Lincoln Park campsites by
tourists. On call for the question, the motion passed unanimously.
4. Resolution: Ocean View Cemetery Fees
Mayor Duncan introduced and read by title a proposed resolution which
established fees and rates for services provided at Ocean View Cemetery.
Councilman Hordyk moved to adopt the resolution as read by title. Council-
man Whidden seconded the motion. During the discussion whic\1 followed,
Councilman Quast concurred with the Park Review Committee recommendation to
provide a 15% reduction in cemetery lots purchased by City residents, and
stressed the need to avoid too much price competition witH' privately owned
cemeteries, competition which could drive prices up. Councilmen Haguewood
and Quast then questioned Parks Director Frizzell regarding the Cemetery
Endowment Fund and the recommendation to charge City residents one fee and
non-City residents a 15% higher rate.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING

Councilman Quast then moved the Council table this agenda item until addi-
tional information is received and the Park Review Committee recommendations
can be included in the proposed resolution. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Haguewood and carried with Councilman Whidden voting "No".
5. Update of City's Self-Insurance and Health Programs
Mr. Rob Orton, Director of Finance and Administrative Services, addressed
the Council to update the City's self-insurance and health programs. Mr.
Orton's presentation included a status report on 'each of the following
programs: (A) Workmen's Compensation; (B) auto and general liability; and
(C) employee benefits (health and welfare) .
All three programs, Mr. Orton reported, are doing very well in terms of
efficiency and savings. Worker's Compensation claims are down from approxi-
mately $50,000 to $24,000 in 1982. In addition, the administration costs
for auto and general liability are less than claims for the past two years.
Employee benefits, the most expensive and volatile of the programs, is also
doing very well. In the past eight months the claims outflow has been re-
duced over 10% - possibly due to the health education and wellness activities
which the City has been promoting. Another area of success is the City's
health incentive plan which showed that 57 employees (l2%) earned some form
of incentive bonus in 1982. In total, the City spent $248,000 for claims
costs in 1982, and saved approximately $127,000 in one year by its decision
to self-insure employee benefits.
6. Request to Purchase City Property: Priest
During the February 1, 1983 meeting the Council agreed to take no action on
Mr. Glen Priest's request to purchase five City lots to the west of the
Bushwhacker Restaurant until the Real Estate Committee has had an opportunity
to view the property in question.
At this meeting, Councilman Quast reported that the Real Estate Committee
had met with Manager Flodstrom and Mr. Priest's representative at the prop-
erty site, and recommended the Council discuss the possibility of rezoning
the property from PBP to Commercial. The other possibility, as pointed out
by Councilman Hordyk, is to sell the property as presently zoned and allow
the developer to rezone and develop it as he saw fit. The Council, Manager
Flodstrom and staff discussed these two alternatives at length. During the
discussion Councilman Hordyk moved the Council authorize the sale of this
property as is (zoned PBP). The motion died for lack of a second. The
discussion then continued on whether the property should be rezoned by the
City before it is sold, the public hearing requirements on a rezone, and
whether Mr. Priest wants the property rezoned to commercial. The discussion
concluded with Councilman Quast moving the Council refer this matter to the
Planning Commission to establish a public hearing for consideration of a
rezone of the entire area from PBP to Commercial. The motion was seconded
by Councilman Gerberding and carried with Councilman Hordyk voting "No".
7. Request to Lease City Right-Of-Way: Knebes
The Council first considered this request at the February 15, 1983 regular
meeting. At that time the Council referred Mr. Knebes' request to the Real
Estate Committee for a recommendation, utilizing information on file from a
previous applicant (Theodore Ripley) who also requested lease of an approxi-
mate 16-foot wide piece of Peabody Street right-of-way for parking
requirements of a proposed office.
At this meeting Councilman Quast reported that the Real Estate Committee had
agreed that the City sign the same agreement with Mr. Knebes that it in-
tended to sign with the previous applicant, Mr. Ripley. The only question
is the period of the lease agreement. Following a brief discussion with Mr.
Knebes and staff, it was agreed that the lease of the right-of-way would be
for a period of one year.
Councilman Quast then moved the Council authorize Manager Flodstrom to enter
into a lease agreement with Mr. William Knebes for lease of a l6-foot portion
of the Peabody Street right-of-way abutting Lot 2, Block 34, Norman R.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
March l, 1983
Smith's Subdivision. The motion was seconded by Councilman Polhamus. Dur-
ing discussion on the motion, Mr. Knebes requested line 3 of that lease
agreement be amended to include utilities as well as parking, as a sewer
line may run from the house at 40l East Front Street and across the property
in question. Councilman Quast agreed to amend his motion to include
utilities as well as parking in the lease agreement. On call for the
question, the motion passed unanimously.

9. Board and Commission AppointmentS/Reappointments
A. Planning Commission
Councilman Quast moved the Council appoint Mr. Todd Holm to the Planning
Commission to replace Richard Wight, effective May I, 1983. The motion was
seconded by Councilman Whidden. During discussion on the motion, Councilman
Hordyk pointed out that perhaps Mr. Holm should be appointed to Mr. Ranta's
position which expires March l, 1983 since it is unknown whether Mr. Ranta
wishes to be reappointed. Following a brief discussion concerning Mr.
Ranta's plans, Councilman Quast moved to amend his motion to state that Mr. I
Todd Holm be appointed to the Planning Commission to be seated in either Mr.
Ranta's position if he decides not to be reappointed, or to Mr. Wight's
position effective May 1, 1983 if Mr. Ranta is reappointed. During the
discussion which followed, Manager Flodstrom advised the Council that Mr.
Holm should be appointed to a vacancy, appointed to an uncompleted term, or
appointed to a new term. Councilman Polhamus then commented that he felt
that too much emphasis was being put on Mr. Ranta's position since Mr. Ranta
is aware that his term has expired, yet he has not contacted Manager
Flodstrom regarding reappointment. Councilman Quast concurred with Council-
man Polhamus and suggested that Mr. Holm be appointed to Mr. Ranta' s
position, and if Mr. Ranta wishes to be reappointed to the Planning Commis-
sion, the Council can appoint him to Mr. Wight's position. Councilman Quast
then withdrew his amended motion. Councilman Haguewood moved the Council
appoint Todd Holm to the Planning Commission effective March 1, 1983 for a
6-year term, to fill the vacant position previously held by Mr. Ranta. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Polhamus and carried with Councilman
Whidden voting "No". Councilman Haguewood then noted that the Council is
not denying Mr. Ranta a position on the Planning Commission and they will
await his decision whether he wishes to serve or not.
B. Board of Adjustment
Councilman Quast moved the Council appoint Mr. Robert Hill to the Board of
Adjustment effective March 1, 1983 for a 4-year term, to fill Mr. J.
Clevenger's position which was vacated by the Council. The motion was
seconded by Councilman Whidden and carried with Councilman Hordyk voting

ing. Mr. Hodges will be replacing John Ralston on the Commission.

(CAC) and Operation Bootstrap. The project is included in the activities of
