D. Preliminary Approval: oil Spill Contingency plan
Mayor Haguewood read the City's position paper on Oil Spill Contingency
Planning, and requested comments or questions from the audience. Ms.
Hattie Berglund then addressed the Council to express her concern over
the City and Northern Tier's agreement to separate the oil spill lia-
bility issue from the oil Spill Contingency Plan. Ms. Berglund asked
that if Northern Tier is so certain that an catastrophic oil spill will
not occur in the Port Angeles harbor, why do they refuse to accept the
financial responsibility in the event an oil spill does occur? Ms.
Berglund also quoted several statements attributed to Northern Tier
officials in regard to oil spill liability, and expressed her concern
that Northern Tier's position of non-responsibility would not include
the Fire Protection issue. Rosemary Cockrill also addressed the Council
to concur with Ms. Berglund's comments. There were no further comments
and the public hearing was closed.
I
Councilman Quast, Manager Flodstrom, and Attorney Miller then discussed
the closing of the EFSEC record (scheduled for mid-June) and what
stipulations can be submitted to EFSEC following the closing of the
record. Also discussed at length was the advantages and/or disadvantages
of separating the Oil Spill Contingency Plan issue and the Oil Spill
Liability issue. Councilman Buck then moved for preliminary approval
of the City's position paper on oil Spill Contingency Planning. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Hordyk and carried. Manager Flodstrom
then noted that final approval of this issue will be at the next regular
Council meeting.

3. CORPORATION YARD FUNDING
Mayor Haguewood read a memorandum from Manager Flodstrom concerning funding
for the Corporation Yard Project. Based on Proposal IA ( construction of
the full project), $286,432 of the project costs remain to be funded.
$l2l,342 of those costs can be contributed by the Sewer ($70,010), Water
($9,282) and Solid Waste ($42,050) utilities, with the remainder ($165,081)
attributed to Current Expense functions (i.e. Parks and Recreation, Street
Maintenance and Engineering) andsubject}to bonding at some point in the
future. The decision to bond or not to bond the CUrrent Expense portion of
the project would most likely have to be made sometime in October, 1981.
At that time, sufficient information will be available on the 1981 CUrrent
Expense status to determine what level of bonding (if any) will be required.
If this approach is acceptable, the above mentioned utility funds would be
transferred to the Corporation Yard Construction Fund at the time funds are
needed to pay construction costs.
Councilman Buck then moved the Council accept this proposal for Corporation
Yard funding. The motion was seconded by Councilman Hordyk. During dis-
cussion on the motion, the Council, Manager Flodstrom, and Finance Director
Orton discussed at length the in-house funding of the project and whether I
this funding proposal would leave the City in a precarious financial posi-
tion. On call for the question, the motion was passed by the Council.
4. CONVENTION CENTER: PHASE II CONSULTANT AGREEMENT
Mayor Haguewood read a letter to Manager Flodstrom from Don Jewell, Presi-
dent of Event and Facility Consultants, outlining the proposed scope of
work for Phase II of the Convention Center Project. The letter also con-
tained a draft Agreement for Consulting Services to be signed by Mayor
Haguewood if the Council concurred with Mr. Jewell's plan.

on the motion, Manager Flodstrom suggested the last sentence in Section 6

Council.

DATA' PROCESSING PROGRAM
I
Finance Director Orton briefly reveiwed his memorandum to the council con-
cerning the upgrading of the City's computer facility. Mr. Orton explained
the problems associated with his search for a financial information system
for installation in the City. Financial software has been located, however,
it will not operate on the City's Series I Hewlett Packard computer. Up-
grading the City's system would entail acquiring a new central processing
unit and replacement line printer (Series 44). Mr. Orton outlined the
monthly costs for a Series 44 upgrade, and pointed out that in order to
upgrade, the'City must payoff the existing contract on the Series I proces-
sor ($39,000)' at the time the new system is delivered. It was also pointed
out that Hewlett Packard has made a very attractive offer for an upgrade to
a Series 44, but the City must take advantage of it by June 20, 1981.
Following a brief discussion on this matter, Councilman Buck moved the
Council adopt the recommendation, of Finance Director Orton and authorize
the upgrading of the City's computer system to a Series 44. The motion was
seconded by Councilman Hordyk and carried.
7. EQUIPMENT RENTAL FUND
Finance Director Orton reviewed his memorandum to the Council concerning
replacement of units in the Equipment Rental Division. Mr. Orton explained
that the Equipment Rental Fund is charged with replacing the equipment it
owns, but has insufficient reserves to do so. Inasmuch as inter-fund
sources of capital are exhausted, Mr. Orton recommended the following: (A)
that the City adopt a policy of replacing equipment units only when cost
effectiveness would suffer from non-replacement; (B) that the City use
short-term conditional sales financing to acquire replacement units until
such a time as the Equipment Rental Fund becomes self-sufficient; (C)
invest the existing cash balances in the Equipment Rental Fund in order to
defray interest costs on the conditional sales contracts; and (D) spread
financing costs from conditional sales agreements equally over all units in
the fleet in order to alleviate heavy financial impact on anyone fund.
I
The Council discussed this matter at length, and how the proposed short-
term conditional sales financing could be utilized to purchase a replacement
fire truck (at a cost of approximately $l2S,000l. The Council, Manager
Flodstrom; and Finance Director Orton also discussed prior management of
the Equipment Rental Fund, and the efforts to make the fund self-sufficient.
During this discussion, Mayor Haguewood suggested Manager Flodstrom look
into the feasibility of a smaller fire truck for the City. Councilman
Duncan then moved the Council accept the recommendation of Finance Director
Orton as outlined above. The motion was seconded by Councilman Buck and
carried.

VIII LEGISLATION
8. ANNEXATION INTO NORTH OLYMPIC RURAL LIBRARY DISTRICT
Mayor Haguewood read a memorandum from Manager F1odstrom informing the
Council that the City of Port Angeles is now eligible for annexation into
the North Olympic Rural Library District. In the past, cities of popula-
tions of less than 8,500 were allowed to annex into rural library districts.
This annexation then allowed the rural library district the opportunity to
levy their annual tax levy authorized by RCW 27.12.350 throughout the
library district, including any city annexed thereto. During the 1981
legislative session, 5B 3150 raised the population limit for annexation to
lOO,OOO.
I
The Council discussed this matter at length with Manager Flodstrom, Finance
Director Orton, and Ms. Terry White, Library Director. Subjects discussed
included the intent of 5B 3150; future City appointments to the Library
Board of Trustees and whether the annexation will change that procedure;
the amount of tax that could be assessed by the library district and
whether the annexation would limit the City's ability to levy property
taxes; and the feelings of the Library Board toward the annexation. Fol-
lowing further discussion on this matter, 'Councilman Buck moved the Council
direct staff to investigate this annexation further and bring the additional
information and appropriate ordinance back to the Council for consideration
at the next regular Council meeting. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Polhamus and carried with Councilman Duncan abstaining.
9. AMENDMENT TO CITY/BPA WEATHERIZATION PROGRAM AGREEMENT
Mayor Haguewood read a memorandum from Greg Booth, Power Manager, explaining
the Residential Weatherization Pilot Program Agreement Amendment No. l. The
amendment contains several important features, including: (A) increased
reimbursement amounts (administrative reimbursements from BPA will nearly
double as a result); and (B) the $300,000 loan ceiling is removed. The I
amount of loan money will be subject to BPA budgetary limitations, but
there will be no fixed ceiling. BPA does not anticipate any problem with
budgetary limitations.
Mayor Haguewood then introduced and read by title Resolution No. 20-8l
entitled,
Resolution No. 20-81
A RESOLUTION of the City Council of the City of
Port Angeles authorizing the mayor and clerk of
the city to execute an amendment to the City's
contract with the Bonneville Power Administra-
tion for Weatherization.
Councilman Buck moved the Council adopt the foregoing Resolution as read by
title by Mayor Haguewood. The motion was seconded by Councilman Hordyk and
carried.
10. MCDOUGAL STREET IMPROVEMENT FUND
Councilman Buck moved the Council take this agenda item from the table. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Polhamus and carried.
Mayor Haguewood read a memorandum from Attorney Miller concerning the I
binding nature upon the plattor, or any subsequent purchaser from the
plattor, of a condition requiring participation in an LID by the p1attor or
his grantee. It was Attorney Miller's opinion that such a condition is
binding but would not "run with the land." The presence of such a condi-
tion upon the face of the plat would constitute an equitable servitude
(condition) which would be binding upon a grantee from the plattor. Were
the grantee to actually oppose the formation of an LID, enforcement of the
provision would have to be by an action for specific performance of the
equitable condition, seeking to have a court declare invalid any protest
filed by the grantee.

discussed the difficulties associated with enforcement of the condition to
participate in an LID.
Mayor Haguewood then introduced and read by title Ordinance No. 2149
entitled,

I
AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles amending

sengers for hire, and amending Section 5 of

Councilman Duncan moved the Council adopt the foregoing Ordinance as read
by title by Mayor Haguewood. The motion was seconded by Councilman Quast
and carried with Councilman Buck voting "NO."
l2. PAVING OF SHANE PARK PARKING WT
Mayor Haguewood read a memorandum from Public Works Director Pittis offering
the following alternatives for the paving of the Shane Park parking lot,
(l) advertised contract ($l4,300); (2) City perform work ($l2,800); or (3)
City crews provide preparation with paving by a contractor ($l2,300).
Councilman Quast then moved the Council concur with the recommendation of
the Public Works Department and authorize staff to proceed with alternative
NO.3, only if the contractor's installation cost is lower than the City's.
If contractor costs are higher than City costs, then the City crews will
perform all work. The motion was seconded by Councilman Duncan and carried.

IX ITEMS FROM THE AUDIENCE NOT ON THE AGENDA
In response to a question from Mr. Don Rudolph, Manager Fldostrom explained the
reward procedure being considered by the Downtown Merchants Association to help
deter vandalism in the downtown area.
Mr. Larry Sybil, Family Skate Center, addressed the Council to request per-
mission to hold an all-night skate party on June 10, 1981. Mr. Sybil was
making this request as per the condition attached to the Skate Center's con- I
ditional use permit which restricts the Center's hours of operation. The
Council discussed this matter at length with Mr. Sybil, Manager Flodstrom, and
Police Chief Cleland.' Several, concerns were raised including neighborhood
reaction to the all-night skate; transportation from the Center; and teens
coming to the Center very late following parties.
Councilman Buck then moved the Council grant permission for the Family Skate
Center to hold an all-night skate party on June 10, 1981, subject to the
following conditions: (I) ticket sales are to be cut off at midnight; (2) doors
are to be monitored at all times to control entrances and exits; and (3) pre-
cautions should be taken that arrangements are made for transportation from the
Center, so that no child is left waiting on the street for a ride home. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Boardman and carried with Councilman Hordyk
voting "NO."

cation for a conditional use permit/parking variance for a day-care center
at 408 East Second Street.
2. CITY/COUNTY JAIL USE AGREEMENT
Mayor Haguewood read a letter from the Board of Clallam County Cornmission- I
ers offering the following formula for the housing of City prisoners in the
County jail facility: 'total expenditures - expenses not char gable to City
prisoners - divided by total prisoner days, for a total daily prisoner rate
of $20.02. The County suggested this billing be made on a quarterly
basis, with a semi-annual reconciliation of accounts to transpire to either
credit or debit the City the following quarter on the basis of operating
expenses the previous quarter. Included in this formula would be a dropping
out of costs not directly attributable to the City. Additionally, the
County suggested this formula be firm only until the litigation/agreements
between Bellingham and Whatcom County, Seattle and King County, and other
similar City-County disputes on this issue,are utimately resolved.
Councilman Buck then moved the Council adopt the County's proposed rate of
$20.02 per prisoner per day for the hOUSing of City prisoners in the
County jail facility. The motion was secqnded by Councilman Quast. During
discussion on the motion, the Council questioned Manager Flodstrom as to
his opinion of the proposed formula and the current litigation between
other cities and counties on the issue of jail costs. On call for the
question, the motion was passed unanimously by the Council.
