Payment Authorized to Riddell Williams for WPPSS Representation Councilman Gerberding moved to authorize payment to Riddell Williams in the amount of $IO, 544. 31. Councilman Hordyk seconded. Councilman Haguewood noted concern and inquired of the City Attorney if the end of these costs was foreseeable. Attorney Knutson stated that the increased costs were due to trial preparation and depositions taken in the massive securities fraud case. He stated that the trial date is still approximately a year away and that continuance of these costs can be anticipated until then. He stated that resolution of some cases had occurred, but that this one key case remains and is taking a lot of attorneys' effort taking depositions on the east coast and the west coast and that this is expensive. Councilman Haguewood felt the public should be made aware that this kind of litigation is expensive and that the City is paying. Councilman Schermer felt it regrettable that the litigation was so expensive. councilman Quast also noted great concern and stated that in 1976, Bonneville Power Administra- tion had come before the council informing them that by 1983 there would be brown-outs, black-outs, and a shortage of electricity. He stated at that time the Council felt it was "over a barrel". He stated that currently when a Federal government agency comes before the Council, things are handled a little differently. He noted that the Federal government had informed the City that a secondary treatment plant costing from $8 to $9 million and maybe more, which would increase the sewer rates of the citizens of Port Angeles to up to $40 per month per household, must be constructed. He stated that the City had taken this matter to Court and is not accepting the dictates of the Federal government. He felt the same about the Federal government's requirement for a new City Hall because the present City Hall is not accessible to the handicapped. He felt that the Federal government should provide funds and fulfill the handicapped require- ments ,~ith Federal buildings. He stated that the Council should be more careful with what is being told to the City unless funds are provided by the Federal government for projects. He felt that in 1976, the City was 303 304 CITY COUNCIL MEETING March 19, 1985 pushed over a little bit too easily and will be paying for years. Council- man Hordyk noted that the City did not join WPPSS; that a contract was signed for buying power from them, but the City did not join the organiza- tion. Councilman Quast agreed that the City was not given a vote, but was having to pay. Following discussion, the motion carried. 2. Consideration of Bid Award for Insulation at Senior Center Councilman Quast moved to accept the bid from Certified Insulation in the amount of $5,019.16 for insulation at the Senior Center. Councilman Stamon I seconded. Councilman Hordyk inquired whether the engineer's estimate had been prepared for unfaced batts. In the interest of confirming this, Councilman Hordyk moved to table decision on the bid award. Councilman Stamon seconded. (The bid was subsequently awarded. See Late Items.) The motion to table carried. 3. Bid Awarded for Aerial Man-Lift Truck to Utility Equipment Finance & Administrative Services Director Orton outlined staff's tabula- tion of the aerial man-lift bids. Councilman Quast felt it unfortunate that some bids did not meet specifications. He felt that some exceptions to the bid specifications could be very quickly changed. He felt. that maybe the City ought to express this in a letter to one firm. Councilman Quast then moved that the bid be awarded to to Utility Equipment, Inc., for the Hi-Ranger 4E-35PMI in the amount of $33,895, due to the fact that this company made no exceptions to the bid specifications. Councilman Hordyk seconded and the motion carried. VI ITEMS FROM THE AUDIENCE TO BE PLACED ON THE AGENDA George Mattson, requested to be placed on the Agenda after Item 5-A to respond to some pertinent items within the City Hall Site Review Committee Report. James Harper addressed the Council. The Council explained that Mr. I Harper's request had been placed on the Agenda under Item No. 13. Discussion of Covered Tennis Facility Mark Fischer requested permission to read a letter regarding covered tennis courts in Port Angeles. The Council concurred to consider this item imme- diately. Dr. Fischer then read the letter, explaining that a fund had been established for the construction of a covered tennis facility in Port Angeles and that approximately $3,000 existed in the fund through contribu- tions and donations from interested citizens. The letter indicated that the priority of covering a new or used tennis court has been significantly reduced because of IAC criteria not favoring indoor facilities. The letter also noted that the Port Angeles School District had recently decided to look into the feasibility of a new outdoor tennis facility and that the School Board had reportedly elected to avoid participation in an alternate proposal to build a covered facility at the Clallam County Fairgrounds. The letter noted concern that the School District and the City had future plans that were divergent and might dilute the possibility of an indoor tennis center. The letter requested the two entities work together in developing a feasibility plan for consolidating the concept and its financ- ing. Following further discussion at length, Councilman Quast moved that the Park, Recreation and Beautification Commission consider this item as the priority item on the next agenda and make a report to the Council in their next minutes. Councilman Schermer seconded, requesting that either a Parks, Recreation and Beautification Commission member or a representative I from the Council meet with the School District to discuss the total tennis facility needs of this community. He felt that it was not a good idea for the City and the School District to be going in opposite directions. He felt the two entities should combine and coordinate their efforts and not separate their potential ability to build good quality tennis courts for the community. Councilman Quast reiterated the City's plan to (1) renovate Erickson Playfield; (2) expand Erickson Tennis Courts; and (3) hopefully cover a portion of the tennis courts. Following further discussion, on call for the question, the motion carried. ITEMS FROM THE CITY COUNCIL TO BE PLACED ON THE AGENDA None. I I I CITY COUNCIL MEETING March 19, 1985 VII LEGISLATION I.

Mayor Whidden asked for comments from the audience on these proposed amendments. There were no comments. He therefore closed the public hearing and read the first ordinance by title entitled ORDINANCE NO. 2334 AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles amending Article IV, Section, 7, Article x, Section 6, and Article XI, Section 7, of Ordinance 1709, the Zoning Code.

Street Vacation Ordinance Adopted SV-85(3)1 - Portion of vine Street Schoenfeldt/Peacock Upon request from Mayor Whidden, City Planner Carr outlined the street vacation application, stating that generally speaking, this would be a bookkeeping measure, provided an easement be retained for utilities in that alley. John Spiess, co-consultant of North Olympic Home Designers, then addressed the Council, stating that title reports indicated that this area had been vacated already. He explained that this was the process of making sure that everything was cleared up - the City records, County records - in order to agree with the title report. Mayor Whidden then asked for further comments. There were none. He therefore closed the public hearing and read the ordinance by title, entitled ORDINANCE NO. 2336 AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles vacating that portion of Vine Street lying between Va shan Avenue and Park Avenue and abutting Lots 1 and 20 of Block 2 and abutting Lots 10 and 11 of Block 1, together with the south one-half of the alley abutting Lots II and 12, Block 1, all in puget Sound Cooperative Colony's Second Addition. Councilman Stamon moved to adopt the Ordinance as read by title. Council- man Quast seconded, favoring amending Section 2 of the Ordinance, that the compensation for this be $1. Upon further discussion, he reconsidered and felt that the compensation should be $0, as this was merely a bookkeeping matter. Councilman Stamon then amended the motion, to include that no compensation be charged to the applicant and to cite the following findings of fact: (A) Without rededication or grant of easement, the rights-of-way cannot be used for public access or utility purposes; (B) There are no 305 306 CITY COUNCIL MEETING March 19, 1985 immediate impacts on traffic patterns, utility services, or public safety in this vicinity; (Cl Consolidation of these rights-of-way into the adja- cent lots will assist in clearing title to the properties to be placed on the tax rolls and enhance the tax base of the community.

Manager Flodstrom indicated that this was not one of the conditions of the Shoreline Manage- ment Permit. Councilman Quast noted that there is now a large quantity of gravel which has been placed on the western side of the tank farm wall which does provide a viewpoint.
