PUBLIC HEARINGS A. Proposed Harbor Use Ordinance Fire Chief Glenn summarized the events leading up to the drafting of the Harbor Use Ordinance, beginning with Council's concern for the hazards associated with increasing bunkering and lightering activities occurring in the Port Angeles Harbor, and their subsequent request of staff to prepare a regulatory ordinance. Attorney Miller then reviewed Draft #4 of the pro- I posed Harbor Use Ordinance and noted that the ordinance (1) establishes a permit requirement for fuel transfers taking place in the Harbor, and (2) requires the provision for an oil containment boom and oil spill clean up equipment during transfers. The draft of the ordinance has been distributed to a large number of concerned parties and Attorney Miller invited comments and criticisms towards future improvements to the ordinance. Mayor Duncan noted the Council had received written comment from the Port of Port Angeles which would be entered into the record, and then opened the public hearing on the proposed Harbor Use Ordinance and invited comments or questions from the audience. During the course of the public hearing the following individuals addressed the Council: Barry Moore, Western Transpor- tation Company; Bill Barr, Foss Launch and Tug; Clay Betting, Westco Marine; Boone Taylor, Northwest Towboat Association; Bruce Barto, Crowley Maritime Corporation; and John Wiechert, Clean Sound. In addition to their testimony, the above speakers requested the following written comment be entered into the record: Western Transportation Company, April 9, 1983; Northwest Towboat Association, March 14, 1983 and April 12, 1983; puget Sound Steamship Operators Assn., February 23, 1983; and Clean Sound, April 1, 1983. Major concerns expressed were for the economics associated with the require- ments for pollution control equipment; possible burdens placed upon the transfer agent due to the information requirements for issuance of a permit and verification of vessel compliance; duplication of federal regulations; I and the omission of a fee amount in the draft ordinance. Many felt the ordinance as drafted imposed regulations affecting the ability of the Harbor to remain a competitive location for fuel transfers. Throughout the course of the public hearing the Council discussed the concerns raised with those individuals testifying. Upon no further comments being received, Mayor Duncan closed the public hearing and Council remanded draft #4 of the proposed Harbor Use Ordinance to staff for further work and revision. 2.
