IV ITEMS FROM THE AUDIENCE NOT ON THE AGENDA A. NORTHERN TIER NEGOTIATIONS ttt. Bill Sage, of Northern Tier Pipeline Company, addressed the Council in regard to negotiations with the City for mitigating measures. Referring to a letter to the Council from Mr. Jim Hodge, dated March 3, 1980, Mr. Sage submitted a pro- posed three-tiered organizational chart for the negotiations, consisting of a Negotiating Tssues Team, a Negotiating Committee, and a Mitigating Measures Management Committee. At the top of the chart was the Northern Tier Board of Directors. Mr. Sage also pointed out that Mr. James Creighton, a public involve- ment consultant, has been retained by Northern Tier to critique their past ne- gotiating efforts and help establish an effective negotiating process. possible issues which can be discussed included a coordination and review plan, housing, taxes/economic assistance, traffic impacts, water supply, building codes, fire and police protection, population, etc. Following Mr. Sage's presentation, the Council discussed at length the City's negotiating committee, which should, Mayor Haguewood suggested, consist of the Council as an entire body. In response to this suggestion, Councilman Quast pointed out that many of the Council members cannot be available for all of the meetings with Northern Tier, and read a proposal for the Council's consideration which proposed a negotiating committee consisting, of Mayor Haguewood, Councilmen Boardman and Duncan, Manager Flodstrom, and Attorney Miller (or ,their representa- tives). This committee would enter into negotiations with Northern Tier's ne- gotiating committee; the City Council would then be designated as the'decision making committee to review the proposals made by the committees, with these sessions open to the public. Councilman Quast's proposal also included several "ground rules" for the negotiations. Councilman Buck then moved the Council as a whole be identified as the negotiating committee with Northern Tier for further discussions on mitigating measures. The motion was seconded by Councilman Hordyk. During discussion on the motion, there were several pro and con comments from various Council members. subjects dis- cussed include attendance of Council members at the negotiations and the re- 334 CITY COUNCIL MEETING March 4, 1980 IV ITEMS FROM THE AUDIENCE NOT ON THE AGENDA A. Cont. quirement of a quorum present before negotiations could take place; a two tiered committee approach by the City to match Northern Tier's three tiered committee organization; the decision making powers of Northern Tier's manage- ment and negotiating committees; and a proposed meeting format with staff and Council both preparing and reviewing issues to be discussed. On voice I vote, Mayor Haguewood declared the motion carried. During further discussion on this matter, Mr. Sage stressed the importance of staff-on-staff discussions, and reaching agreements on all the issues so they can become part of the EFSEC hearings record. Also during the discussion, Councilman Quast objected to a Council quorum being able to make decisions during the negotiations and stated that the City should match Northern Tier's three tiered approach with a negotiating committee to discuss the issues and a management committee to make the final decisions. Following the discussion, Councilman Duncan requested a vote on the above-mentioned motion by a show of hands. Councilmen Buck, Hordyk and Polhamus voted "AYE" with Councilmen Boardman, Duncan and Quast voting "NO." Mayor Haguewood, voting to break the tie, voted "AYE." The discussion on this matter continued with the Council, Attorney Miller, and Mr. Sage discussing Northern Tier's decision making body, and the issues to be discussed in the first meeting. Mayor Haguewood then suggested that this meeting be continued to Thursday, March 6, 1980 at 6:00 P.M. in order to give staff suf- ficient time to prepare a list of priorities to be considered by the Council before meeting with Northern Tier. A meeting with Northern Tier was then scheduled for Thursday, March 20, 1980. B. DERBY DAYS POOL TOURNAMENT Mr. Jim Jones, Co-Chairman of Derby Days, addressed the Council concerning use I of the Roosevelt gymnasium for the 1980 Derby Days Pool Tournament. Mayor Haguewood then read a letter from Mr. Jones in which the following was re- quested: (1) use of the Roosevelt Gymnasium for the Pool Tournament from 10 AM wednesday, August 27 through midnight Sunday, August 31, 1980, both dates in- clusive, with the City of Port Angles participating in the event by waiving any rental fee; (2) to permit the retail sale of "fast foods" by a caterer, through competitive bid; (3) to permit the retail sale of alcoholic beverages for on premises consumption, by a properly licensed caterer through competitive bid; (4) Derby Days, Inc. will pay up to $50.00 per day for cleanup of the facility by City crews for each day of use requested; and (5) Derby Days, Inc. will be responsible for security, crowd control and parking assistance at all times. During discussion on Mr. Jones' letter, the Council discussed rental fees and clean-up/damage deposits for the gymnasium with Parks Director Frizzell. Council- man Buck then moved the Council accommodate the Derby Days Pool Tournament, but in compliance with the City's program schedule and established rates. The motion was seconded by Councilman Polhamus. During discussion on the motion, Mr. Frizzell pointed out that the park use Ordinance will need to be amended to allow liquor in the gym facility, and Councilman Quast noted that this matter should be referred to the Park and Beautification Board for a recommendation. The Council and Mr. Frizzell also discussed certain physical problems with the gym, such as lighting and electrical service, and who will be responsible for bearing the expense for modifications to the gym to accommodate the pool tournament. Councilman Buck then withdrew his motion, with Councilman Polhamus withdrawing his second, and moved the Council refer the letter from Derby Days to the Park and Beautifica-' I" tion Board for a recommendation. The motion was seconded by Councilman Quast and carried. Councilman Hordyk then moved the Council authorize the City Attorney to draw up a proposed ordinance for the allowable use of liquor at the present Roosevelt gym site, on a concession basis. The motion was seconded by Councilman Polhamus. During discussion on the motion, Attorney Miller advised that a hold-harmless agreement and insurance clause should also be included in the proposed ordinance.

Manager Flodstrom informed the Council that the City' had also written to Senator Jackson regarding this matter and had received a similar reply. D. NORTHERN TIER NEGOTIATIONS Mike Doherty, Oilport Task Force Coordinator, addressed the Council to express his concerns regarding the Council's previous action at this meeting on the negotiations with Northern Tier. Mr. Doherty requested that the action to negotiate be reconsidered when public comment is allowed, noting that (a) the gain to Northern Tier in regard to public relations (i.e. pending legislation) will be tremendous; (b) Northern Tier should be responsible for funding the extra City staff time which will result from the decision to negotiate; and (c) the Council should be much more familar with the Northern Tier project before negotiating for mitigating measures. The Council took no action on Mr. Doherty's request. V LEGISLATION 1.

ORDINANCE: BELLEWOOD STREET VACATION During the February 19, 1980 regular Council meeting, the Council approved the Bellewood street vacation request, but did not act on the vacation ordi- nance until a compensation amount was set by the Real Estate Committee. At this meeting, Mayor Haguewood introduced and read by title Ordinance No. 2068 entitled, Ordinance No. 2068 AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles vacating the south five feet of the East Sixth Street right- of-way between Lincoln and Laurel Streets. Councilman Hordyk moved the Council adopt the foregoing Ordinance as read by title by Mayor Haguewood, with the stipulation that Bellewood Corporation pay the compensation amount of $1,264.00 and with the following findings of fact: (1) past practices have allowed property owners to build up to the side- walks in the area in which the subject property is located; (2) traffic pat- terns 'will not be affected by the vacation because the street is already I developed and the vacated portion occurs outside of the developed portion; utility patterns in the area will not be affected because the area is cur- rently fully developed; (4) utility services will not be affected by such vacation; (5) vacation would create a better living environment for the elderly apartment building tenants; and (6) there would be benefit to the general public to place that portion of the right-of-way on the tax rolls. The motion was seconded by Councilman Quast and carried unanimously. 4. AGREEMENT WITH NORTH OLYMPIC LIBRARY SYSTEM Mayor Haguewood read a memorandum from Manager Flodstrom outlining the major contract amendments to the original North Olympic Library System agreement. One amendment which was discussed at length at the January 16, 1980 special Council meeting was the matter of the City's financial contributions for the operation of the System; the amended agreement now calls for a base City contribution of $215,000. In addition, the Library Board may seek an addi- tional contribution which the City mayor may not agree to appropriate. During discussion on the proposed agreement, Attorney Miller and Councilman Hordyk discussed the interpretation of Section 10, which states that the City is responsible for major structural or mechanical repairs or alterations. Councilman Hordyk then moved the Council authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the agreement with the North Olympic Library System. The motion was seconded by Councilman Boardman and carried. During the May 1, 1979 regular Council meeting, the Council approved, under certain conditions, a request from the DNR for an easement across property in the Morse Creek watershed area. This is the same piece of property over which an easement had been previously granted by the Council to Burrowes and Fox. At this meeting, Attorney Miller submitted a proposed easement agreement and recommended the Council approve execution of the easement as presently written. The proposed agreement contains the conditions re- commended by Attorney Miller in 1979, plus a hold-harmless clause ( the language of which was requested by the DNR). Councilman Hordyk then moved the Council approve the easement agreement with DNR for an easement across property in the Morse Creek watershed area.
