IX LEGISLATION
1. SHORT PLAT APPEAL: M. SOMlmS
Mayor Haguewood read a memorandum from the Planning Department regarding
Mr. Somers' proposed short plat adjacent to McDougal Street in the Mount
Angeles Road area. The memorandum pointed out that while the proposed
75

plat complies with design requirements, actual development will aggrevate
the existing road problems. McDougal Street has only a 24 foot seal-coat
type asphalt surface, no shoulder, open ditches, and the standard right-of-
way width of 60 feet is not available along the entire length. After
reviewing this proposed short plat, the existing conditions in the area,
particularly the roads, the City Subdivision Regulations and the Compre- I
hensive Plan, City staff determined that conditions requiring road im- .
provements were necessary to assure that appropriate provisions for
streets, as required under State law, were provided. Furthermore, con-
ditions were needed to assure that the pUblic use and interest would be
served by the platting of the land, which is also required under State law.
Specifically, staff required that Mr. Somers' short plat be approved only
if: (A) McDougal Street abutting the short plat and Elm Court are improved
to full City standards; OR (B) an amount sufficient to accomplish the
improvements stated in "A" is provided in a McDougal Street Improvement
Fund, to be used toward the eventual McDougal Street L.I.D. assessment.
Preliminary engineering estimates anticipate such improvement would cost
approximately fifty dollars ($SO) per lineal foot.
During discussion on this matter, Councilman Quast noted that he and Council-
man Polhamus had viewed the proposed short plat site and inspected McDougal
Street. Councilman Quast stated he felt McDougal Street needed improvement
and any additional building or development in that area would further de-
teriorate the street and endanger the people who are presently living on
McDougal. He also expressed his concern that residents of a development may
be reluctant to contribute to an L.I.D. for a quasi-arterial such as McDougal
Street. councilman Polhamus concurred with Councilman Quast, pointing out
that if McDougal Street abutting the short plat and Elm Court are improved
to full City standards, the abutting property owners would not be required
to participate in any future LID.
Councilman Hordyk then questioned Planner Carr in regard to the annexation I
of this area and opinioned that the past standards that the City has found
acceptable for development of the City are being ignored; the City should
be developed the way the people want it to be, and McDougal Street will be
improved when the residents of that area decide that it is necessary.
Councilman Duncan then moved that the Public Works Director's requirements
not be waived because those improvements constitute appropriate provisions
for streets and assure that the public use and interest will be served. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Quast. During discussion on the motion,
Mr. E. Dunn, surveyor for the proposed short plat, addressed the council on
behalf of himself and Mr. Somers, to question the meaning of the motion.
Councilman Duncan explained that the motion is to not waive the required
improvements to curbs, gutters, pavement and storm drainage facilities, and
Mr. Somers has a choice of utilizing either option "A" or "B" as his method
of improvement. The Council then discussed the improvements to Elm Court
and the half cul-de-sac; the method of determining the assessments for an
LID in the McDougal Street area; requirements on developers for roadway
improvements (Subdivision Regulations). the options available to Mr. Somers
for roadway improvements; the advantages of a street improvement fund and
whether property owners would be assessed twice for an LID, using this
method, and the number of new homes in the McDougal Street area and whether
proper fire protection could be provided, in view of the substandard street.
The discussion concluded with Councilman Hordyk voicing his opposition to
the proposed McDougal Street Improvement Fund. On call for the question, I
the motion passed with Councilmen Buck and Hordyk voting "NO." In response
to an inquiry from Mayor Haguewood, Mr. Dunn stated that he and Mr. Somers
will not appeal this decision. Staff will draft an ordinance establishing
the MCDougal Street Improvement Fund for consideration at the next regular
council meeting.

IX LEGISLATION
4. JANITORIAL SERVICE CONTRACT
Mayor Haguewood read a memorandum from Finance Director Orton recommending
acceptance of a local contract for janitor work. With the transfer of jail
responsibilities to the County, the Police Department is left with no
personnel to maintain police offices. Furthermore, certain buildings will
need to be maintained at the Corporation Yard. The current facilities at
the present time are somewhat under-maintained since the City has only one I
full-time position to attend all of these buildings. The low bid received .
for janitorial service (~l8,120) represents a cost savings in 1981 of
approximately $5,000 over the current expense. However, acceptance of a
local contract for janitor work will result in the layoff of one full-time
position.
Councilman Buck then moved the Council concur with the recommendation of
Finance Director Orton and enter into a contract with Larry's Janitorial
Service effective May l, 1981. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Duncan. During discussion on the motion, the Council expressed their con-
cern regarding the layoff of the present janitor. Mr. Orton advised the
Council that the current janitor accepted employment with the City knowing
that the City was considering a local contract for janitor service. How-
ever, every effort will be made to place him in other employment. After a
brief discussion on this matter, Councilman Quast stated that he would like
additional information on the personnel situation, and moved the Council
table this agenda item and discuss it during an executive session following
the regular meeting. The motion was seconded by Councilman Hordyk and
carried.
5. AMENDMENT TO FIREWORKS ORDINANCE
Mayor Haguewood introduced and read by title Ordinance No. 2136 entitled,
Ordinance No. 2136
I
AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles allowing
a licensed vendor of fireworks to maintain two
retail outlets in the City of Port Angeles.
amending Section S.32.060 of the Port Angeles
Municipal Code, and Section 6 in Chapter 8 of
ordinance No. 2050.
Councilman Buck moved the Council adopt the foregoing Ordinance as read by
title by Mayor Haguewood. The motion was seconded by Councilman Polhamus
and carried unanimously.
6. PLANNING DEPARTMENT FILING FEES
Mayor Haguewood read the Planning Department's proposed fees for planning
permit activities as follows: Routine Permits $90; Extensions for any
Routine Permits $30; Major Legislative Planning Actions $l50; Developmental
Activites (plats and short plats) fees based on number of lots ranging from
$l50 to $2l5, final plat fee of $30; Street Vacations and Annexations $lSO;
and Environmental $50.
Councilman Buck moved the Council accept the proposed fee schedule for
planning permit activites and authorize staff to draft the appropriate
ordinance. The motion was seconded by Councilman Quast and carried.

7. REORGANIZATION OF MUNICIPAL COURT
Mayor Haguewood read a memorandum from Attorney Miller regarding reorganiza-
tion of Municipal Court. The memo explained the present organization of
Municipal Court, which is based on a contract with District Court for Muni-
cipal Court functions. For that service, the City agreed to pay 40% of
District Court's total budget. an estimate of the amount of the court's
time devoted to Port Angeles cases.

However, because of a declining City caseload, Attorney Miller has sug-
gested that rather than a separate municipal court, paid for by payment of
a percentage of the District Court budget, the Districting Committee
(which was reconvened recently to hear another court matter) could recom-
mend, and the County Commissioners approve, a system whereby all city cases
are filed directly in the District Court, with a filing fee being paid for
each case so filed. Using this approach, with a $17.00 per case fee, the
City would see a cost savings of approximately $8,750 for the remainder of
1981.
Councilman Buck then moved the Council authorize Mayor Haguewcod or Manager
Flodstrom to present to the Clallam County Commissioners and the Districting
Committee the City's desire to amend the District Plan to allow for imple-
mentation of a filing fee system. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Duncan and carried.
8. CONVENTION/COMMUNITY CENTER
During the April 8, 1981 special Council meeting, a presentation was given
by Mr. Don Jewell, President of Event and Facility Consultants, on the
marketing potential of a convention center in Port Angeles.
At this meeting, Mayor Haguewood read a letter from Mr. Jewell summarizing
some of the comments presented at the April 8th special meeting, and letters
from the Chamber of Commerce and the Board of Clallam County Commissioners
offering their support for a convention center.
During discussion on Mr. Jewell's comments, the Council agreed to meet with
the Park and Beautification Board to gain additional input and discuss
alternatives for use of the Vern Burton Memorial Community Center. A
special joint meeting was scheduled for Tuesday, April 28th at 7:00 P.M.
9. ELECTRICAL RATE INCREASE
Mayor Haguewood read a memorandum from Greg Booth, Light Department Power
Manager, outlining the results of the Cost of Service and Rate Study pre-
pared by Economic and Engineering Services. The study indicates the need
to increase revenues by $4.7 million during the period July l, 1981 through
June 30, 1982; consolidation of rate categories (Residential, General
Service, Industrial, and Yard Lighting); seasonal rates; and flat rates and
customers charges. Mr,'Booth also suggested in his memorandum that the
rate increase be made effective in May in order to gain .additional revenues
to offset the Light Department's current deficit position.
Mr. Booth then answered several questions from the Council in regard to the
findings and proposals of the EES report. Following a brief discussion on
the proposal to reassign the street lighting function to the Light Utility,
and the rate increase proposed for residential customers, Mayor Haguewood
noted that a public hearing has been scheduled on May 5th to discuss the
proposed rate increases.
lO. 1979 UNIFORM BUILDING CODE
Mayor Haguewood read an informational memo from PUblic Works Director
pittis concerning adoption of the 1979 Uniform Building Code. The 1979 UBC
primarily differs from the 1976 Edition in that language relating to con-
struction within various fire zones within the City has been deleted. This
will, in effect, eliminate the necessity to build two hour ,fire walls when
a wall is less than 20 feet from the property lines, in Fire Zones 1 and 2
(commercial areas). This revision in the Code could make construction and
renovation within the downtown area more cost effective~ Mr. Pittis also
advised the Council that the State Energy Code will not be part of the
ordinance adopting the 1979 UBC. Should the State Legislature take no
action on the Energy' Code during this session, it will be necessary for the
City to adopt the Energy Code provisions through an Ordinance of its own.

11. MARINE LAB STATUS REPORT
Mayor Haguewood read a memorandum from Manager Flodstrom concerning the
status of the Marine Lab on the Municipal Pier. The facility is 80%
complete, reported Manager Flodstrom, with General Construction scheduled
to complete their work by the end of April. Manager Flodstrom also re-
ported that there is work left to be done on the Lab Which might better be
done by General construction or the subcontractors, and it was his recom- I
mendation that the Council consider utilizing a portion of the remaining
Municipal Pier Construction Funds (approximately $42,000) for completion
work on the heating, wiring, and ventilation items not yet completed. This
work would cost approximately $15,000. This help, along with the voluntary
donation of materials and manpower which has been arranged for, should
bring about completion of the Lab in mid-summer.
Councilman Buck then moved the Council allocate $l6,000 of the Municipal
pier Construction Funds for completion of items on the Marine Lab. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Polhamus and carried.
12. SALE OF CITY PROPERTY
'f. .
During the April 7, 1981 regular Council meeting, the Council instructed
Manager Flodstrom and the Public Works Department to determine the fair
market value of Lots 13 - 18, Block 45l. This was in response to a request
from Port Angeles Realty to purchase the property from the City.
At this meeting, Mayor Haguewood read a memorandum from Manager Flodstrom
and Public Works Director Pittis advising the Council that, based on the
information obtained through the Assessor's office, and through comparisons
with similar pieces of property, it would appear that the value of Lots l3
and l4 would be approximately $4,000 each and the value of Lots lS, l6, l7
and l8 would be approximately $8,000 each (Lots l3 and l4 are substantially
lower in elevation than the other four, even to the point of being below I
the roadway grade of 18th Street).
During discussion on this information the Council discussed the possibility
of rezoning the subject property to Residential Multi-Family, and extension
of the sanitary sewer trunk line to serve these lots. Councilman Quast
then moved that the City sell the six lots in total with a minimum bid of
$8,000 each; the City reserves the right to reject any or all bids; and
with a contractural stipulation that the portion of 18th Street bordering
on these lots be improved if construction occurs. The motion was seconded
by Councilman Polhamus and carried.
13. REQUEST TO PURCHASE PROPERTY: HALKO
Mayor Haguewood read a letter from Myrtle and Peter Halko requesting they
be allowed to purchase a 10' by 2S' piece of property located outside the
Lions Park fenceline on the north side of Lopez Street. The letter indi-
cated that Mr. and Mrs. Halko would like to clean up that corner of prop-
erty SO that the area would look better coming down Lopez.
x
During discussion on this request, Parks Director Frizzell noted that the
Park Board has not had an opportunity to consider this request and would
probably want to do so prior to any Council action. Councilman Duncan then
moved the Council refer this matter to the Real Estate Committee and Park
Board for a recommendation. The motion was seconded by Councilman Buck and
