Mr. Flodstrom also briefly reviewed the protest periods and percentages and the pro- cedures which follow adoption of the ordinance which officially creates the LID.

The first application is for construction of a secondary treatment system for Rayonier's waste treat- ment facility and the second is for maintenance dredging of a portion of Rayonier's log pond. During his presentation Mr. Carr briefly outlined the environmental impact statement on the secondary treatment system, which was prepared by DOE, and also explained the function of the treatment system and what type of additional facilities are being proposed. In conclusion, Planner Carr recommended approval of the applications since they will meet the intent of the Shoreline Master Plan policies. Councilman Buck then moved the Council approve ITT Rayonier's Shoreline Permit applications for construction of a secondary treatment system and maintenance dredging of a portion of the log pond. The motion was seconded by Councilman Hordyk. During discussion on the motion, Public works Director Flodstrom pointed out that the dredged material from the log pond will be trucked to the 13th and "M" Street disposal site, and suggested the Council approve the permits with the condition that "M" Steeet be opened up to 18th Street to eliminate trucking this material through a residential area. After a brief discussion between the Council, Mr. Flodstrom, and Mr. Stark of ITT Rayonier, Councilman Hordyk suggested the permits be granted with a time limit set on the opening up of "M" Street; Public Works Director Flodstrom Could then negotiate with ITT Rayonier and M & R Timber on the cost to each party for the "M" Street improvements. Councilman Hordyk then moved to amend the motion to include the above mentioned negotiations. The amendment to the motion was seconded by Councilman Buck and carried. On call for the question, the motion to approve ITT Rayonier's shoreline permit applications and the amendment to the motion, was passed by the Council. 5.

The memorandum also pointed out that funds have not been budgeted for this project. The Council then discussed this matter with representatives from the Trucking Association and Director of Public Works Flodstrom. Subjects discussed in- cluded the possibility of south-bound traffic from the ferry being diverted to the Truck Route, the need for a third lane because of the increased usage of the Truck Route, and the possibility of an agreement with the Truckers Association to truck gravel from the Landfill to the Truck Route site for the preliminary work on the third lane before asphalting begins. The dis- cussion concluded with Mayor Haguewood suggesting the Truckers Association consider the Public Works Department's proposal at their next meeting and bring any suggestions back to Mr. Flodstrom. ~, v CITY COUNCIL MEETING May 16, 1978 IV LEGISLATION 7. REPORT ON SOLID WASTE RECYCLING Mayor Haguewood read two memorandums from Diversified Industries on the Recycling Center. The first memorandum delt with the development of re- cycling in recent years, and the second memorandum outlined the following proposals as a beginning to the reduction of recoverable resources being buried: (1) The City of Port Angeles seek whatever funding is available to construct a 5,000 square foot building for the purpose of housing an expanded recycling program to include cardboard, paper, glass and metals. The City would then lease the building on a long term lease to Diversified Industries, Inc. at a fair market rate for the purpose of operating the recycling center; (2) The City lease the compactor truck due for replace- ment to Diversified along with an agreement to maintain it at a fair rate; and (3) Diversified will make a similar substantial investment by agreeing to purchase a large commercial baler for up to $12,000. Mayor Haguewood also read a letter from the Board of Clallam County Commissioners expressing their intent to support Diversified Industries' Recycling Program in the form of a possible amendment to the Comprehensive Solid Waste Program to include the recycling program, administer help and support in applying for grant funds, and financial assistance for those improvements not covered by grant monies.

On call for the question, the motion was passed by the Council. 8. PROCLAMATION Mayor Haguewood read a PROCLAMATION proclaiming May 21 through 27, 1978 as National Public Works Week. 9. RENTAL OF ADDITIONAL OFFICE SPACE FOR CITY PERSONNEL During the May 2, 1978 Council meeting, Mayor Haguewood directed Manager Whorton to look into the possibility of renting additional office space for the City Attorney's office and the Planning Department. At this meeting Attorney Walrath presented the alternatives available to the City for a solution to the problem of office space for City personnel: (1) do nothing; (2) postpone any action on this proposal; (3) excise the City Attorney's office and put the Attorney on a retainer; (4) rent additional office space; and (5) a combination of No. 2 and 4 - relocate the City Attorney's office to a temporary location, notify the County that their lease of the Council Chambers for District Court will be terminated, and move the Attorney's office into the vacated District Court office area in the rear of the Council Chambers. It was Attorney Walrath's recommendation that alternative No. 5, with temporary relocation of the City Attorney's office to be next to City Hall in the Oak Building, be considered as the most desirable solution to this problem. Following Attorney Walrath's presentation the Council discussed at length the amount of usage of the Council Chambers and the possibility of relocating District Court. The discussion concluded with Councilman Buck moving that alternative 4D, rental of the available space in the Oak Building, be im- plemented, with Manager Whorton making the necessary arrangements. The motion was seconded by Councilman Hordyk and carried. CITY COUNCIL MEETING May 16, 1978 IV LEGISLATION 10. POLICE DEPARTMENT: CAPITAL OUTLAYS 11 A. Fire Escape Proposal Manager Whorton briefly explained the proposed fire exit proposal for the Police Department, pointing out that a fire exit in the north side of the building would entail reconstruction of jail cell No. 3 without the total loss of that cell. The estimate for this proposal amounts to approximately $3,850. Councilman Buck then moved the Council authorize the expenditure of $3,850 from the Contingency Reserve Fund for the construction of a fire exit on the north side of the Police Department building. The motion was seconded by Councilman Duncan. During discussion on the motion, Councilman Hordyk voiced his disapproval of the proposal, stating that he felt this would be only a partial solution to the problem since the Police Station would still not meet jail standards after the fire exit has been constructed. The Council also discussed the future of the Police Station and its present overcrowded facilities with Acting Police Chief Morgan. On call for the question, the motion was passed by the Council with Councilmen Hordyk and Wray voting "N0." B.

Councilman Duncan: Reported on a meeting that morning with Northern Tier and U.S. Steel and read the following statement for possible Council action: ("The City of Port Angeles takes very seriou§ly its obligation to protect its citizens from threats to the local economy and environment. The SEPA has given the citizens of the State of Washington the right to a healthy environment and Port Angeles expects to be protected to the same extent as all other Washington State citizens. It is the stand of the Port Angeles City Council that: (1) There is no existing need for an oil transshipment point in Washington State; (2) Promotion of Port Angeles as a transshipment point is contrary to state-wide public testimony in the original Coastal Zone Management Plant' and (3) There are other viable alternatives for both moving Alaskan oil and supplying the oil needs of the Northern Tier states. Far example, exchange through Japan and Canada, the Ohio proposal and others. The proposed Northern Tier port in Port Angeles could only be allowed if the Federal governemnt waives its requirements for clean air and preempts the local governments right to guard its citizens from adverse economic and environmental effects. Port Angeles cannot justify supporting a private company by the use of public resources under our authority. We feel strongly that state and federal rulings should support us in this stand") Councilman Duncan then moved the Council use this statement as communication to-_the Federal and'state decision makers and appropriate media. The motion was seconded by Councilman Anderson. During discussion on the motion, the Council discussed the possibility of charging a fee for Northern Tier's re- quests for information.
