sentence, add the word "help to read: "He felt this would hell) keep

1. Consideration of Bid Award for Janitorial Services
Councilman Lemon moved to recommend Option No. 2, with modifications,
leaving Vern Burton Gym and the Senior Center with the current facility
caretaker and custodian, dividing the contractual amount, awarding $24,350
to Larry's Janitorial Service for the City Hall Complex and windows;
awarding American Building Maintenance Co. $6,797.04 for the Light Building,
Second and Valley, the Service Garage, Corp Yard, including the windows,
bringing the total amount to $83,791.04. In `'stating his reasons, he
favored giving the contractual amount to private citizens versus labor, as
he felt this was more of a custodial type of service, which is more of a
private business function. Councilman Stamon seconded for purposes of
discussion.
Councilman Lemon pointed out that the only additional duties for the present
custodial staff would be taking care of the Parks offices.
Councilman Hallett, directing a question to Parks Recreation Director
Brodhun, asked what impact this recommendation would have on our present
manpower utilization; specifically, would the present staff be maintained or
re- allocated. Director Brodhun replied that we would be keeping the same
staff levels that we currently have.
Councilman Sargent asked if the contractors were satisfied with the way the
bid was awarded. Director Brodhun replied that Larry's Janitorial Service
was satisfied, as was American Building Maintenance.

VIII LEGISLATION
1. Request from Stevens Middle School History Day Funding
Tom Leinhart, teacher, and Peter Barrett, student, requested Council to
support efforts of students at Stevens Middle School to raise funds in order
to attend the National History Days Contest in Washington, D.C., on June
1st. They hoped that the City would consider matching funds raised by the
student projects, up to $1,200. The students would be representing the City
of Port Angeles History in their presentation of a play entitled "Scalawags
and Frontier Dreams Create Second National City Councilman Stamon
commended the students for their hard work on the project. She offered a
motion that the Council would agree to designate matching funds, up to
$1,200, to be used by the students to travel to Washington, D.C., to attend
the National History Contest. Councilman Hallett seconded.
Speaking to her motion, Councilman Stamon made reference to a policy the
Council had passed regarding financial assistance for members of the
commuftity. She stated youth is given top priority in the policy and that
the requesting organization must be recognized as well as established. She
felt that the requesting organization met both of those qualifications. She
urged Council to support the motion.
Councilman Gabriel, directing a question to Manager Flodstrom, asked if the
funds would be allocated from the Hotel /Motel Tax Fund. Manager Flodstrom
stated that he would rather it did not come from Hotel /Motel Tax, but from
the Current Expense Fund. Further, he suggested that Council enter into a
contractual agreement with the School District, specifically indicating the
purpose of the money.
Councilman Stamon agreed to make that part of her motion. Councilman
Hallett concurred.
Councilman Sargent commended the students in their efforts with the History
Days and concurred with the motion.
Councilman Hesla also agreed with the motion. He spoke in support of the
students and wished them luck.
On call for the question, the amended motion carried unanimously.

2. Public Hearings
A. Consideration of Changing Name of Railroad F
Mayor McPhee opened the public hearing at 7:40 P.M.
Erl Hansen, Executive Director, Chamber of Commerce, 121 East Railroad
Avenue, stated that it was the Chamber which initially requested the name be
changed. He cited that the Chamber did not feel this to be an appropriate
name; that the history of Port Angeles was being maintained by the railroad
steam locomotive, Milwaukee Drive, which was the route of the old railroad,
as well as the history in the Museum. He felt that "Waterfront Way" tied
more into the location.
Jerry Cornell, representing the Port Angeles Downtown Association, stated
that the Board st;ongly favored changing the name as it was the effort of
the Downtown Association to further develop and beautify the Downtown area.
The Downtown has gone through major changes the past few years; beautifica-
tion efforts, new construction, and greater tourism orientation. In-
cluded in these efforts has been a great deal of development it the water-
front area. Further, he stated that the focus of the area has changed from
an industrial use to a positive direction in recreation. He stated it is
appropriate that the name of a street in the area should accompany the
change, giving a people- welcoming impression.
Duncan McKiernan, 1133 East Eighth Street, was strongly opposed to the name
change, as he felt "Railroad Avenue" was a part of our history. He gave a
brief background on the history of the railroad in Port Angeles. He did not
feel that changing the name was justifiable because it sounds better. He
urged Council to retain the name of "Railroad Avenue
Jessica Wessler, 911 South Cedar Street, spoke in opposition to changing the
name to "Waterfront Way as she felt the name had no character or meaning;
whereas Railroad Avenue at least arouses curiosity. She felt the City
should be proud of its history and heritage. She suggested moving the
locomotive from Lauridsen Boulevard down to Hollywood Beach, putting up a
plaque explaining the logging history, and making it an important landmark.
She urged Council not to consider changing the name.
Elizabeth Johnson, 312 East 12th Street, spoke in opposition to the name
change, as she felt "Waterfront Way" had just as bad connotations as the
Chamber felt Railroad Avenue had. She stated she understood the Chamber's
feelings with the bad connotations of Railroad Avenue and suggested changing
the name to "Bay View Avenue
In a letter received from Naomi Denhart, 139 West 12th Street, Mrs. Denhart
spoke in opposition of the name change, as she felt Railroad Avenue provided
a historical signpost to Port Angeles' past.
Werner Quast, 3800 Park Knoll Drive, also spoke in opposition to the name
change. He stated history tends to be torn down too fast. The historical
aspects are very important for the community. He urged the Chamber to
promote the history of the railroad.
Ray Taylor, 1025 West Sixth Street, spoke in opposition. He urged Council
to retain the heritage of Port Angeles.
Bob Stepp, Stepp Advertising, 115 East Railroad Avenue, strongly urged
Council to change the name, as he felt the name should indicate hope and
promise of the City.
Virginia Fitzpatrick, 825 Caroline, stated that the younger generation no
longer feels that Railroad Avenue has a bad connotation. She urged Council
to retain the name to honor those citizens who worked so hard to get the
railroad here. She also informed Council of the upcoming May 23rd Stevens
School play at the old Courthouse Museum at 7:30 P.M. She also thanked
Council for providing the Museum with storage space at the Light Department
building.
t
Charles ieIa-ro_n, 1203 East Eighth Street, spoke in opposition and he urged
Council to retain the name of Railroad Avenue.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
May 17, 1988
Larry Leonard, 1030 Olympus Avenue, spoke in opposition, as he felt Railroad
Avenue had historical value.
Mayor McPhee closed the public hearing.
Councilman Stamon offered a motion in recognition of the historical value of
Railroad Avenue and in recognition of the fact that the railroad did play a
vital part in the development of the City of Port Angeles, that Council at
this time would not change the name to "Waterfront Way but rather to
retain the name of Railroad Avenue. Councilman Hesla seconded.
In speaking to her motion, Councilman Stamon strongly suggested that the
Chamber, the Downtown Association, and businesses in the downtown area work
cooperatively to erect signage and displays of the history of the railroad.
Councilman Sargent spoke in favor of the motion.
On call for the question, the motion carried.

Councilman Lemon asked Planner Carr if Mr. Lamb was in objection to the set

previously, and he did not believe that there was any problem with the set

physical separation between the Downtown commercial district and the
residential district to the south. Public ownership is the most effective
way to assure preservation of this particular property and to assure that it
is not intensely developed. Public ownership would preserve the ability to
provide that pedestrian circulation. Retention of the right -of -way would be
consistent with the Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Plan. Further, she
agreed it is not in the public interest to vacate right -of -way that permits
pedestrian access to areas that provide significant views of the environment
or to release public ownership of topographic features that if improperly
utilized would pose safety hazards to the general public and abutting
properties. She stated that this property has already had several variances
and that this one is not necessary.
Councilman Hallett shared Councilman Sargent's concerns, pointing out that
the Commission has passed the vacation on a 6 1 vote, subject to the
following conditions: (1) Petitioners provide a 5 -foot public access
easement for a trail on the north 5 feet of Lots 7 and 8 of Block 52; (2)
Petitioners provide a 10 -foot public access easement for a trail on the
south 10 feet of the Second Street right -of -way abutting their property; (3)
The deed to the Second Street right -of -way require that the property be
maintained in an environmentally safe manner, to prevent erosion and other
safety problems. He wondered how he could allay the concerns of one, and
asked Planner Carr to clarify and elaborate on the conditions. Planner Carr
stated the conditions originated through discussions between staff and the
applicant. One of staff's major concerns is that there appears to be no
benefit to the public in the vacation of the right -of -way.
On call for the question, Councilmen Hallett and Sargent voted "No with
Mayor McPhee, Councilmen Lemon, Gabriel, Hesla and Stamon voting "Yes The
motion carried.
Attorney Knutson stated he was concerned with the motion, as the Ordinance
did not contain the conditions that were cited.
Councilman Stamon moved to reconsider the motion. Councilman Hesla
seconded. On call for the question, the motion carried.
Councilman Stamon moved to provide in the ordinance under Section 2,
compensation set for $402.50; and in Section 3, instructing the City
Attorney to revise the Ordinance prior to the Mayor's signature to reflect
the conditions as listed in the Planning Commission minutes of May 11, 1988,
citing the following conditions: (1) Petitioners provide a 5 -foot public
access easement for a trail on the north 5 feet of Lots 7 and 8 of Block 52;
(2) Petitioners provide a 10 -foot public access easement for a trail on the
south 10 feet of the Second Street right -of -way abutting their property; (3)
The deed to the Second Street right -of -way require that the property be
maintained in an environmentally safe manner, to prevent erosion and other
safety problems; citing the following findings: (A) The provision of
public access easements across the right -of -way and the private property for
a public access trail complies with Circulation Policies Nos.7 and 10 of the
Comprehensive Plan; (B) Vacation of the property would increase the tax base
of the community. Councilman Gabriel seconded.
Councilman Hallett stated he was not comfortable with the vacation of the
right -of -way and spoke in opposition to the motion, citing it does not
follow the Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Plan in the specific areas of
circulation. He felt that the City would not be gaining anything by
granting the street vacation, but would be going directly opposite to the
goals that have been set by this and previous Councils in enhancing City
owned properties for the enjoyment of the community. He stated he was not
objecting to the project, but did not want to see vacation of properties
that could be used in the betterment of the City. Further, he stated that
the conditions cited did not allay his concerns.
Councilman Stamon, speaking to her motion, pointed out that the vacation was
taking place on City -owned property; that since it is located on a hillside,
it is not usable to the public due to topography and the terrain. She felt
that the conditions cited by the Planning Commission and then placed into
the amended motion will continue to guarantee the public right to access.
It also allows a certain portion of the property to be returned to the tax
rolls, as well as construction of more garage space on the south side of the

property, which, too, would increase the tax rolls in the City of Port
Angeles.
Councilman Sargent spoke in opposition, as she felt the City should retain
ownership and also that it was creating a precedent where other occasions
may arise in the future. She felt the tax revenue would be minimal.
Councilman Hallett stated that his point was to preserve views and access,
and he did not feel this was being accomplished by the motion.
On call for the question, the amended motion carried, with Councilmen
Hallett and Sargent voting in opposition.
D. Zoning Code Amendment ZCA- 88(2)2 City of Port Angeles-
Railings
Mayor McPhee opened the public hearing.
Charles LeBaron, 1203 East Eighth Street, asked for a review of the issue.
Planner Carr reported that the present requirement in the Zoning Code is a
minimum height of thirty (30) inches for the railings, while the Uniform
Building Code requires a minimum height of thirty -six (36) inches. The
proposed amendment would eliminate the inconsistency.
Marvin Merrick, 615 West Eighth Street, asked for clarification of the
height. He also questioned whether this would supersede the State height
requirement, as he thought it was 33 inches. Mayor McPhee replied that the
State requirement was 36 inches.
Mayor McPhee then closed the public hearing and read the Ordinance by title,
entitled
AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles
relating to the height of railings around
porches, terraces or landings, and amending
Sections 13 and 14 of Article IX of the
Zoning Code, Ordinance No. 1709.
Councilman Sargent moved to adopt the Ordinance as read by title.

5. City Attorney's Presentation Reeardine Appearance of Fairness Doctrine
as it Relates to the Daishowa Proiect
Attorney Knutson discussed with Council the role it would be taking during
the permitting process with Daishowa, as with any other land use
proceedings. He explained the Appearance of Fairness Doctrine means that
quasi judicial decision making bodies must conduct their permitting
processes in a fair and unbiased manner that is free from even the
appearance of unfairness. Specific precautions that land use decision
makers need to take in order to comply with the Appearance of Fairness
Doctrine, as spelled out in court decisions and Chapter 42.36 RCW, are as
follows: (1) During the pendency of the Shoreline application process,
members of the City Council or Planning Commission should not engage in ex
parte (outside the hearing) communications with proponents or opponents
about the proposal; (2) Members should not take evidence outside of the
formal permitting process; (3) Members should not have any personal interest
in the matter; and (4) Members should not make any statements expressing or
indicating that they have prejudged the matter. Attorney Knutson went
through the proposed process of the permit application. He stressed that
Councilmembers should bend over backwards in the appearance of being fair.
He advised Councilmembers that if they were approached and asked to make an
opinion or statement on the project, that it was important for them to state
that their job as Councilmember required that they maintain neutrality and
the appearance of neutrality and that they could not express or make a
decision until all of the facts have been presented to them and they have
had a chance to make a decision based on those facts.
Council accepted this as informational only.
