Mr. DeCou indicated the State had raised State gambling taxes. He stated RCW requires gambling tax revenue be used to enforce gambling regulations. He questioned the need for such enforcement in Port Angeles and felt that money derived from gambling could be used to further the economy of this area through charitable institutions and businesses. Ben Goldie, owner of the Good Times Tavern, felt the taxes that had been paid to the City were excessive when compared to the amount of calls that had been placed in regard to enforcement of gambling taxes.

Councilman Gerberding did not support a reduction of gambling tax for punchboards, pull tabs , etc., but would like to have staff produce more information on waiving taxes if the proceeds were used entirely within the City for community charitable purposes, as is the policy in the City of Redmond. Councilman Stamon then' moved to direct staff to provide a report to Council responding to the concerns stated tonight, outlining not only what the ordinances say, but also the State gambling regulations in terms of direct- ing the City toward the use of these funds, asking that this information be brought back at the next meeting.

He stated the property owner to the north of his business had objected to the removal of the fence. Manager Plodstrom explained that at the time the car wash was established, the Planning Commission had stipu- lated the condition that the fence be placed there. Subsequent to the time that condition was mandated, the zoning has changed. City Planner Carr ex- plained the area was previously Commercial Arterial District - Restricted, and about a year ago, that was changed to Arterial Commercial District, as was the entire area south of Front Street to the 1/2 alley. He stated that the property north of the alley had previously been zoned RS-7, Residential. That was rezoned approximately two years ago to Office Commercial. Councilman Hordyk discussed the matter with Mr. Nebert, and felt the Coun- cil should obtain more facts and view the area prior to making any deci- sions on the matter. John Ward of 922 Georgiana, directly across the alley from the car wash, addressed the Council, speaking in opposition to removal of the fence. Mr. Ward stated that there were already problems with exces- sive traffic in the area and felt that this would only increase the problem. Mr. Ward stated that the fence had been down temporarily, and traffic had increased dramatically and at least three young hot-rodders had left rubber I in the alley. He was concerned that damage to his property might result. Mr. Ward suggested removing a corner of the fence next to the vacuum cleaner and setting the garbage container there. He stated this is what is taking place now and it seems to be working fine. He requested the Council leave the fence as it is currently. Following further discussion, Councilman Schermer moved to table the matter for further input from staff and to allow the opportunity for the Council- members to individually view the area. Councilman Stamon seconded and the motion carried. 6.

Councilman Gerberding seconded.

The Council discussed this matter with Mr. Ridout at great length. Following discussion, Councilman Quast moved that the City enter into the following agreement with Mr. Solway: To clear title on the property to Mr. Solway's satisfaction in return for the fol- lowing: (1) A quit claim deed for the additional right-of-way required for street construction and maintenance but not required for the residence, greenhouse, other outbuildings and additional area as required to allow proper setbacks; (2) An area at the south end of the property to be used as a turnaround for emergency vehicles (none currently exists); (3) Signature to an LID non-protest agreement to allow the City of Port Angeles to pro- ceed with an LID for the area as requested by the majority of residents (though a minority in acreage and front-footage ownership); citing the following reasons: (A) Formation of an LID for the improvement of Regent Street; (8) Provision for a turnaround area for emergency vehicles; (C) The deeding of right-of-way to clear title to land in a state of limbo; (D) To resolve to the satisfaction of both parties the distribution of platted Regent Street right-of-way.

He noted that salaries paid out to union employees at mills, etc., were substantially higher than the salaries of City employees.
