Bicycle Helmet Legislation Councilman Schueler noted he introduced this subject to the City Council for consideration a few months ago. Although there is proposed legislation at the State level to mandate bicycle helmets, other municipalities have instituted their own ordinances. He invited Dr. Clancy and Susan Allen to address the Council at this time, as well as other interested parties in the audience. Councilwoman Sargent distributed a summary of the pending State bill regarding bicycle helmets. Dr. Mike Clancy, 507 Vashon Street, addressed the Council as a family physician interested in seeing an ordinance adopted to require anyone riding a bicycle to wear a helmet. He cited various statistics on unhelmeted bicycle riders, and indicated there are a great number of youth deaths and head injuries because helmets are not - worn. Dr. Clancy noted that, in Clallam County over the past ten years, there have been at least twenty-two hospitalizations and four deaths attributed to bicycle accidents. During 1990 and 1991, Port Angeles had the highest bicycle/car collision accident rate in the State of Washington. Dr. Clancy reviewed cost factors in delivering health care due to bicycle accidents. He urged the Council to adopt an ordinance requiting the use of bicycle helmets. Discussion followed and Councilwoman Sargent inquired as to whether Dr. Clancy felt a local requirement would still be needed in the event the State legislation passes. Dr. Clancy felt a local regulation would not be needed if there is State regulation and, in his opinion, State regulations would be even better. The Council then gave consideration as to how such an ordinance could be enforced. Mayor Hallett raised a question as to whether passage of a local regulation would be pre-empted by State legislation. Attorney Knutson suggested it may be preferable to draft language similar to that in the State legislation in order to avoid pre-emption. 2438 CITY COUNCIL MEETING March 2, 1993 LEGISLATION: Susan Allen, ~i~l:', 1205 S~th Cedar, indicated many citizens are in favor of (Cont'd) requiring the use of bicycle helmets. She felt the possibility of the proposed State legislation coming out of committee as being slim. Because there is concern as to Bicycle Helmet the cost of helmets, she cited coupons for discounted helmets being made available Legislation by Harborview Medical Center. In addition, Ms. Allen felt it important to have a (Cont'd) grace period in the legislation in order to provide an opportunity for education in the schools and the public arena. She expressed support for requiring the use of helmets. Chuck Whidden, a member of various biking clubs, indicated the majority of bikers wear helmets at this time. There are various biking programs which have set out to educate the public on the need to wear helmets. Many of these same programs also contribute money to assist low income citizens in purchasing helmets. He felt an ordinance would be positive, but noted the need for lead time in order to conduct  u~timl and to establish a fqn. diog meqhanism,to ~sist the l/9.w' income~,^ _. which supports the passage of such an ordinance. He read specific endorsements given to him.~ Councilman Schueler moved to direct staff to prepare an ordinance for consideration. Councilman Wight seconded the motion. In the ensuing discussion, Councilman Nicholson expressed the need to address a means by which citizens can be assisted financially in the acquisition of helmets. Further, Councilman Braun asked that a grace period be included for purposes of education. Councilwoman Sargent expressed concern about enforcement. Councilman Wight suggested the County be contacted to see if it would be willing to institute similar legislation at the same time. Additionally, he felt that if the passage of such legislation serves as a deterrent, then the net result would be positive. Mayor Hallett summarized the discussion by indicating the Council could review a proposed ordinance, make adjustments, and then set a date for a public hearing. A vote was taken on the motion, which carried unanimously. Break Mayor Hallett recessed the meeting for a break at 9:05 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 9:19 p.m. 1993 Special Agency 2. 1993 Special Agency Contracts Contracts Councilman Nicholson moved to authorize the Mayor to sign the special agency contracts as listed in the memo from the City Clerk.

County Proposal for UG~I for UGA - Councilwoman Sargent indicated this item was added to the agenda as a result of a letter from the County. A counter-proposal, if desired, is due within a week. Planning Director Collins exhibited a new map setting forth the County's recommendations and noted the recommmadations as not being substantially different from the City's position or reasoning. Director Collins reviewed the details of the recommendations. Councilman Wight moved to submit to the County the following recommendations: (1) A line 1000 feet east of Dry Creek between Edgewood Dr. and Highway 101, using the physical boundary of the Dry Creek stream corridor and ensuring that there is not a divided jurisdiction for this critical area; (2) Per County proposal in the Melton Road area south of Highway 101 and east of Reddick Road; (3) Per County proposal along the southern UGA line between Mt.

Councilman Nicholson seconded the motion. During the (Cont'd) discussion that followed, Public Works Director Pittis requested the western boundary be extended beyond the Landfill area to incorporate property recently County Proposal acquired, some of which falls outside the City limits. He indicated this would be for UGA (Cont'd) important to landfill planning. Therefore, Councilman Wight amended his motion to include a line at the east rim of Dry Creek Ravine from the Strait of Juan de Fuca south to the City limits in the northwest corner of the UGA. Councilman Nicholson concurred with the amendment. Councilman Braun expressed concern with the boundary being extended in the Morse Creek area due in a large part to poor road conditions.

County-wide solid waste plan Waste Plan Mayor Hallett reviewed the information provided by the Department of Public Works. There was some discussion about the proposed meeting on Monday, March 8th, between 3 and 5 p.m., conflicting with the scheduled UAC meeting. It was agreed to proceed with the UAC meeting at 4:30 p.m. with the hope those attending the County meeting can join the UAC in short order. Further, because there will be a quorum of Council members present at the UAC meeting, a special meeting notice will be published. It was agreed that Councilmen Wight, Schueler and Braun would attend the County meeting. 2020 Vision 8. 2020 Vision corporate visit to Japan Corporate Visit to Japan Mayor Hallett reviewed the information concerning the proposed corporate visit to Japan. It has been requested that the Mayor represent the City on this visit. - Councilwoman Sargent urged caution in expenditures outside the approved budget. The Council spent time and money in addressing its economic future when the 2020 Vision program was developed. The Council recognized strategies and designated responsibility to the EDC, along with an approved increase in funding. Therefore, Councilwoman Sargent moved to support the EDC's President, Bill Hermann, as the City's representative on the trip to Japan. Councilman Ostrowski seconded the motion. Considerable discussion followed, and Councilman Schueler suggested there was a need for more information from the Port. He noted the results of such a trip would be intangible. He agreed the City needs to look at the Pacific Rim in relation to the City's economic future. He urged the Council to look at this issue further before endorsing the EDC as the City's representative. Further, he felt there is sufficient time available so the City does not have to make an immediate decision, u Councilman Ostrowski noted this is an unbudgeted expense and it should be ~ Councilman Schueler noted that the  presence of elected officials, and ~- p. articularly the Mayor of the visit- lng community, is important to the to the Japanese and adds credibility to the contact. 2440 CITY COUNCIL MEETING March 2, 1993 LEGISLATION: considered a major item. He felt the Council is also charged with the responsibility (Cont'd) of appropriately budgeting for expenses. Councilman Wight had hoped someone from the Port would attend this meeting in order to provide much needed 2020 Vision information. He noted the individuals who would likely take the trip, with the main Corporate Visit to thrust being industrial contacts. Perhaps the City's strategy for an export industry Japan (Cont'd) should be tourism, and he doesn't view this group as doing anything which would garner tourism to the area. It may, however, serve to have contacts made which may be of assistance in the future. He noted the lack of a State sanction for the trip. Additionally, Councilman Wight inquired as to whether the EDC would be willing to help finance a City representative to participate, with City funds designated for the EDC. He expressed his desire to not vote on this issue at this time, pending the gathering of needed information. Councilman Nicholson expressed concern that to not send a City representative may be perceived by the Japanese people as an insult. Therefore, Councilman Nicholson moved to table this matter to the March 16th meeting in order to obtain additional information as to what will be gained, why the City needs to spend $6,000-$7,000 to send the Mayor rather than have the EDC represent the City. Councilman Schueler seconded the motion. The vote on the motion to table was taken and resulted in a 3 - 3 vote, with Councilman Braun abstaining. Mayor Hallett asked for clarification as to the status of an abstention in determining the outcome of the vote. During the ensuing discussion, Councilman Nicholson changed his "aye" vote to a "nay"; therefore, the motion to table failed. With regard to the original motion, Councilwoman Sargent clarified that it was her intention to have the EDC represent the City Council. In the ensuing discussion, it was noted that someone from the Port had been invited to attend this meeting but had declined. Manager Pomeranz indicated he felt he could get Jerry Hendricks to attend the next meeting if that was the Council's wish. Councilman Braun noted that it is important to the Japanese for the Mayor to represent the City. The bottom line is to send the appropriate representative who, in his opinion, would be the Mayor. On call for the question on the motion to support the EDC as the City's representative, a vote was taken and the motion failed for lack of a majority vote. Councilman Wight moved to place the issue on the agenda for the next meeting. Councilman Schueler seconded. Councilman Wight said he wanted someone from the Port to talk to the Council about the issue and would appreciate a staff recommendation on the issue. Manager Pomeranz emphasized that, when he invited someone from the Port to attend this meeting, the Port expressed the opinion that this is a City decision. The trip is not sponsored by the Port, but rather is a joint effort. Following additional discussion, the vote was taken and the motion carried, with Councilman Nicholson voting "no". Purchase 10-yard 9. Purchase lO-yard dump truck from State Bid dump truck Public Works Director Pittis explained the need for action tonight on this matter, as the price is good for only two weeks. Action on this matter will result in a savings of $20,000 over the estimated cost for the unit. The request is to use the State bid for the 10-yard dump truck and bid out the dump body to fit on the truck and chassis. This is a budgeted item. Councilman Ostrowski moved to authorize the Public Works Department to proceed with the bid for the dump body and to purchase the cab and chassis via the State bid. Councilman Braun seconded the motion which carried unanimously. Letter from Mr. I0. Letter from Mr. Alexander Alexander There was some discussion about a letter received from Carl Alexander regarding youth involvement in some of the boards, etc. It was agreed to have this matter placed on an April agenda. Real Estate Issues I1.

The property owners have offered to sell the property to the City for $200,000. The meeting resulted in veiled threats about lack of access to the property by one of the property owners. Councilman Wight asked if efforts to acquire the property should -7- 2441 CITY COUNCIL MEETING March 2, 1993 LEGISLATION: be pursued further by the Real Estate Committee. Following additional discussion, (Cont'd) it was determined that this matter should be discussed in executive session at the meeting of March 16th. Real Estate Issues (Cont'd) Councilman Wight was approached by members of the Kiwanis Club about the possibility of purchasing some City-owned lots. For the past number of years, the Kiwanis Club, in conjunction with School District//121, has purchased residential lots with the students in the High School constructing a residence on the lot; the Kiwanis Club markets the house and spends the money for community good works. The Club is having increasing difficulties in acquiring such properties, as there do not seem to be any available, affordable, RS-7 or RS-9 lots. He would like to explore this further with the Property Manager; the Council agreed. Councilwoman Sargent asked if anyone from the City would be attending the _ Enhanced 9-1-1 meeting in Poulsbo on March 19th at the Poulsbo Headquarters Fire Station.
