2. Street Vacation SV- 87(2)1 M R Delayed Until Real Estate
Committee Meeting
Councilman Stamon suggested, as an option which would provide public view
easements, a property trade between the City and the project proponents,
whereby the City would retain the lot immediately north of the right -of-
way and slightly to the west for use as a view easement and possibly a
small park area which would be easy to maintain, trading M R for some
property owned by the City in the industrial area on the waterfront
adjacent to the M R area. The Council discussed the matter at length,
Councilman Quast, speaking in favor of retaining a public easement to
provide access to the bluff view.

he appreciated the Council's consideration, also stating that M R's
intent was to sell the property to raise cash. He stated five lots had
been laid out for this purpose. He indicated M R would be interested in
looking at possibilities with regard to industrial property adjacent to
their site, although he was not aware of any properties of that nature that
would benefit M R's operation.
Following further discussion, Councilman Stamon moved that the Real Estate
Committee of the'Council meet with representatives from M R and continue
discussions on this issue, to see if there was some kind of mutually agree-
able solution that could be reached with the intent of maintaining some
type of a public view easement. Councilman McPhee seconded. Following

Estate Committee would report back to the Council at the March 17th Council

significant new information provided by the local newspaper regarding the
City of Port Townsend. He spoke at length, voicing his opposition to
selection of board and commission members by written ballot, which he
referred to as "secret ballots He read portions of the Open Public
Meetings Act, emphasizing his opinion that the public should be made aware
of how each Councilmember votes. He felt that members of the public should
know how individual Councilmembers voted in the event that these Council
members wanted to run for office again. He also stated that he did not
plan to run for office for a second term.
Councilman Quast provided background on how the current Council procedure
came about, emphasizing that the purpose was to avoid embarrassment for
candidates who had come forward from their good will and had received no
votes. He stated it was for the protection of these individuals, who
volunteered for positions without pay. He stated that former Councils had
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
March 3, 1987
appointed individuals without advertising board vacancies or conducting
interviews, and that advertising created a situation where more than one
candidate was being considered; therefore, the written ballot procedure was
adopted in order to avoid embarrassment to these candidates.
Councilman Schermer felt that the current process was a fine and orderly
method of selecting board members. The Council debated the issue further
at great length.
Councilman McPhee moved the City Council Rules be changed to prohibit
secret voting. This motion died for lack of a second.

City Attorney and accept his legal opinion that what we are doing is proper

Councilman Hallett stated that the Council was intimately involved with
what goes on on a day -to -day basis as the City Manager's bosses. He stated
that Council had previously discussed independent audit and while he was
not against that, he did not think that at this point in time, there was
any material reason to undertake one. He then moved to accept the
Memorandum of Understanding and grant the two -year extension of the City
Manager's contract, with the changes explained in the memorandum.
Councilman Schermer seconded. Councilman Schermer stated he had advocated
an audit, not necessarily of the Manager, per se, but the total management
of the City.

car allowances in other cities and felt that there were some discrepancies.

Olympia to meet with State Legislators regarding oil spills, and stated
