VI ITEMS FROM THE AUDIENCE TO BE PLACED ON THE AGENDA Hattie Berglund, 1834 West Seventh Street, brought up the topic of the Waterfront Trail at Crown Zellerbach (now James River). She requested an update on the status. She asked for a report from the Planning Director and the option to comment. She also expressed concern that the City of Port Angeles was receiving 42% services and was paying 60% for Human Services. She stated that phasing this out over a two or three year period was allowing too long for other municipalities to pick up their share of the costs. Mayor Whidden announced there would be a meeting tomorrow night and invited Mrs. Berglund to attend. City Planner Carr then briefly up- dated the Council and audience on the status of the Waterfront Trail. Councilman Stamon noted for the record that City Planner Carr, at the direction of the City Council, had been placing high priority on review of several ordinances. It was her understanding that James River was continu- ing with their plan to do revetment work in July and that their portion of the Trail will be constructed at that time, as agreed upon. Carl Alexander, 1712 West Fifth Street, addressed the Council, noting con- cern that tonight's agenda did not include the topic of the City Hall and its budget status. Councilmembers noted this item was included in tonight's Information Agenda; then decided to place the item as number 5 -B on the agenda.rawd_SL: '�ib �C IU�q 't- 3ew 1� C "f" c k n r(ci ri=nn JC E V)L.: C S�` c n a �i�ti�C 11e (CL {v tk V)C /j r� C k'�4 iF Ir1 F' C' Councilman Hesla recommended placing Item No. 9 to Item 5 -C for considera- tion prior to the Council's break, as he would be leaving the meeting at that time. VII LEGISLATION 1. Presentation of Water Distribution Specialist I Certificate to Kevin Curtis Mayor Whidden presented the award to Mr. Curtis, with congratulations. 2. Public Hearings A. Regulations for Flood Plain Management Ordinance Adopted Mayor Whidden opened the public hearing and asked for comments. Public Works Director Pittis provided information, explaining that these revisions were required by the Federal Government due to changes that have occurred in the National Flood Insurance Program. Mayor Whidden again asked for comments from the audience; there were none; he therefore closed the public hearing and read the Ordinance by title, entitled, ORDINANCE NO. 2444 AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles amending regulations for flood plain management, and amending Ordinance 2091 and Chapter 15.12 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code. B. Property Declared Surplus South End of Regent Street 753 CITY COUNCIL MEETING June 2, 1987 Councilman Hallett moved to adopt the Ordinance as read by title. Council- man Stamon seconded and the motion carried. Mayor Whidden opened the public hearing and asked for comments. Public Works Director Pittis again addressed the Council, explaining the back- ground on the Public Works Department's recommendation to declare the property surplus. There being no further comments, Mayor Whidden closed the public hearing. Councilman Quast inquired about the diameters of the proposed turnaround and the status of the proposed L.I.D. in the area. Councilman Schermer moved to accept the recommendation of the Public Works Department to declare the property at the south end of Regent Street surplus and auth- orize the Mayor to sign the deed from the City to the Laymans in exchange for a deed from the Laymans. Councilman Stamon seconded. During discus- sion, Councilman Quast amended the motion that there be an agreement by the Laymans in order to facilitate the deed exchange that there is no opposi- tion to the forthcoming L.I.D. Following discussion at length, on call for the question, the motion carried. Attorney Knutson pointed out that the deed could be drafted requiring no opposition to the L.I.D. by future owners also. Councilman McPhee indi- cated concern. He felt it didn't look like the City was getting as much as it was giving. Public Works Director Pittis explained to Councilman McPhee which areas were proposed for exchange. Councilmen Stamon and Schermer concurred with Councilman Quast's amendment. On call for the question, the motion carried. Councilman Schermer discussed with staff the determining factor for votes in approving an L.T.D. Staff explained that votes were determined by assessed value of property owned and that by not opposing an L.I.D., a party was deemed to have voted for said L.I.D. 3. Planning Commission Minutes of May 27, 1987 Councilman Quast moved to accept and place on file the Planning Commission minutes of May 27, 1987. Councilman McPhee seconded and the motion carried. Councilman Quast inquired of Planner Carr if the Planning Commission could require written explanation of a decision from the Board of Adjustment and discussed with staff the possibility of a hearings examiner. Manager Flodstrom stated that a hearings examiner would not be cost effective for the City to utilize on its own and would need to be looked at jointly with the County. 4. Petition Requesting Annexation Myren A- 87(5)1 Set Public Hearing Mayor Whidden reviewed the issue, the petition for annexation of approxi- mately 12.7 acres east of the east City limits, north of U.S. Highway 101 submitted by Bud Myren. Councilman Quast moved to set a public hearing for June 16, 1987, to consider the annexation request. Councilman Hallett seconded. Upon inquiry by Councilman Schermer, Manager Flodstrom explained that there was another property owner for this area by the name of William Froude who is currently a resident of Panama but is aware of the annexation and supports it. Planner Carr outlined for the Council the area of the proposed annexation. Councilman Quast noted concern over a non engineered filled area and the potential of inheriting liabilities. Manager Flodstrom stated that con- cerns with regard to the fill could be addressed during the building permit 754 CITY COUNCIL MEETING June 2, 1987 process and conditions related to said fill. He stated a soils analysis could be required as a condition for issuance of building permits. Follow- ing discussion, on call for the question, the motion carried. 5. Presentation by Port Angeles Police Department Drug Abuse /Resistance Education Program Police Chief Cleland explained that this program was going to be offered beginning at the fifth grade level to all students of School District #121. He stated the program teaches them refusal skills and other things. Chief Cleland then introduced Terry Gallagher, the officer administering the program. Officer Gallagher reported on the Drug Abuse /Resistance (DARE) Program, which stemmed from a belief on the part of Chief Darryl Gates of the Los Angeles Police Department and most other police professionals in this country that the traditional methods of teaching kids about drugs were in- effective. He indicated that one of the key components of this curriculum was to elevate the age of experimentation with drugs, thereby decreasing the risk of the development of a drug dependency. He stated that the core curriculum is taught at the fifth grade level, which is generally the senior level at an elementary school. He stated the reason for teaching at this level was because these children are still somewhat attached to the home, they will accept the fact that a police officer has a certain amount of credibility, and they have not yet been subjected to the peer pressure they will get in the sixth, seventh, and higher grades. He stated that certain segments of the program could be taken to kindergarten through fourth grades or to seventh grade on up to ninth grade. He stated this is what he had done recently at Roosevelt School. He stated next year the plan was to take it to the elementary school. Officer Gallagher then presented a video portion of the seventeen -hour class program. Following the film, Officer Gallagher explained that FBI statistics show 70% of the crime in this country is drug related and that the emphasis of the DARE program is not to educate children necessarily about drugs, but to change their attitude toward drugs. He indicated the program needed to get community leaders involved to show the students that the community is behind them. He also stated the program needs to get service clubs involved and that he would be speaking to the PTA to get parents involved. He stated it needs to be a group effort in order to be successful. Mayor Whidden felt it would be a very excellent program. Councilman Stamon commended Officer Gallagher. 5 -B. City Hall Funding Public Works Director Pittis summarized information that had been included in the Council's information packet this evening. He explained that this was based on information currently available to the Public Works Depart- ment. The information outlined three change orders to date and summarized the total cost of those change orders, as well as provided a new projected total for project completion. Councilman Stamon thanked the Public Works Departme4t for the report, feel- ing that it had taken a great deal of time to prepare. Councilman McPhee asked how much over the projected cost the project might go. The projected cost to complete the entire project was now $3,456,562.07. Councilman McPhee noted that the project was $1 million over the original $2.4 million less approximately $80,000 for the pool. Mayor Whidden indicated that this completion cost included the City Hall, the Vern Burton Memorial Community Center, the landscaped mall, the pool and pool repairs. He stated this amount was not all for City Hall. Councilman McPhee debated the issue with Manager Flodstrom and Councilmem- bers. Councilman McPhee stated he would have prepared a statement had this item been placed on the regular agenda. Councilman Hallett responded that Councilmembers are free to discuss any items included in the Information Agenda. He felt this was not a valid reason for not preparing a statement. Councilman McPhee then made reference to the recent amendment to Council Rules of Procedure requiring Council approval to add items to the table. Councilman McPhee asked that if, in the future, he discovered something wrong, he could bring the topic up and have as much time as he needed to discuss it. He asked Councilman Hallett if this was all right. Coun- cilman McPhee then asked if other Councilmembers realized beforehand that 755 CITY COUNCIL MEETING June 2, 1987 the project was going to be $3.5 million. Mayor Whidden corrected Council- man McPhee, stating that new the projected cost to complete the City Hall was $2,793,749.32. Mayor Whidden then invited Mr. Alexander to respond from the audience. Mr. Alexander understood that going over the 5% cost overrun figure in the bid specifications was not that big of a deal. He stated 5% was a very low projection. He felt it should be discussed if the project was going to go over that figure because the project should not be designed to go over its own budget. He felt that was not good business practice. He then asked if the 5% was going to be exceeded, what the percentage was going to be. Councilman Quast outlined occurrences with the project and felt if the project stayed within 10% it would be doing very well. Mr. Alexander concurred and asked the Council for some assurance that the project was going to remain under 10 Councilman Quast answered that was the City Council's strategy. He felt the public would be very pleased with the project. He stated he would be pleasantly surprised if the project was opened for a September meeting, but doubted that would be the case. He further stated that this was the first City Hall that had been built specifically as a City Hall, designed purposefully for the management and the pride of the City. Councilman Stamon requested Public Works Director Pittis give his best feeling as to whether the project would remain within the 10% contingency. Public Works Director Pittis explained unanticipated changes that had occurred to date and the projected cost for completing the entire project, which was the amount listed earlier. He stated we would know more about that as we get telephone bids, etc., back; but that based on information we have today, the project was at 8 Councilman McPhee inquired about the numbers of colors of paint. Council- man Hallett, in wrapping up the discussion, expressed his pleasure with the progress that has gone on, with what the staff has done, and with the dollar figure in front of him. He felt that when the project is completed, we'll have something we can be proud of and he would not take a back seat on this at all. He felt we were doing great. Councilman McPhee stated he was pleased that the facility is larger than the smaller size he said it shouldn't be. He was pleased that his figures were correct, that this building and the ancillary projects were far more than $2.4 million. He was disappointed that we didn't have the automatic doors for the handicapped. He felt that if Tradewell or Safeway could afford these types of doors for their customers, we should be able to afford it for our citizens. Councilman Quast pointed out for Mr. Alexander that the Council does have some concerns. He pointed out his concern with the heating system. He stated that the architect had hired a sub contractor for the heating system and our Light Department has a very excellent conservation staff which had not been utilized. He stated the Council had hoped this firm would put a grant application together so that we would get some $100,000 to have the building analyzed for the latest state -of- the -art in terms of conservation. He stated that was apparently not done in a manner s/that was appropriate, because the grant was not received. He felt our own Conservation Division from City Light could have been somewhat more involved. He was particu- larly concerned that there were no double doors at the entrances. 5 -C. Consideration of Revised Loan Agreement With Lincoln Landing Developers Councilman Hesla moved Council authorize the Mayor to sign the contract amendment with Waterfront Associates. Councilman Schermer seconded. Councilman Hallett inquired as to what had been done in the last two months since this was brought up. Manager Flodstrom provided information on occurrences and asked Administrative Services Director Wolfe to explain further. Councilman Hallett specified his concern, as he had opposed the amendment to the original agreement, specifically, that he wanted to see some progress in 60 days to show sincerity on the part of the developer. Administrative Services Director Wolfe explained that improvements had been made in the atrium of the mall and that one of the current tenants is expanding out to the atrium area. He explained that two other items have been negotiated, which he was not at liberty to discuss, and that they had also decided to create a public meeting area. In this short period of 756 CITY COUNCIL MEETING June 2, 1987 time, he felt that these were some significant steps. Manager Flodstrom stated this had occurred, although the developers had not signed the agreement and was not sure why the agreement had not been signed to date. He noted that the project was also in arrears and supported Administrative Services Director Wolfe's stand that the agreement be signed only when the developers were current on all payments. Upon inquiry by Mayor Whidden, Administrative Services Director Wolfe stated that the agreement had now been signed by the developers. Councilman McPhee voiced concern over the term of the amendment and felt the City should require a promissory note. During discussion, Attorney Knutson explained that during the negotiation, it was decided that a promissory note would not be sought by the City. He stated at this point in time the City could require a promissory note, and he would be more comfortable with that, but that it was not a necessity. The motion carried, with Councilmen McPhee and Hallett voting "No BREAK The meeting was adjourned for a break at 9:13 P.M. The meeting returned to open session at 9:29 P.M. Councilman Hesla left the meeting during break and was not present for the remainder of the meeting. 6. Revised Public Defender Contract Authorized Attorney Knutson recommended one change on page 1, the fifth line from the bottom, changing wording in the sentence to read for cases filed by the City after April 30, 1987 He explained the reasons for the change. Councilman McPhee moved to authorize the Mayor to execute the contract, as amended, for Public Defender services. Councilman Hallett inquired as to the net difference in terms of impact to our budget. Attorney Knutson stated this is difficult to answer, but probably we would be paying a quarter of what we were paying before, or less, in terms of Public Defender costs. He deferred to the City Manager the impact of the revision of the Criminal Code in terms of the budget. Manager Flodstrom answered this would also be in the area of 25 Following discussion, on call for the question, the motion carried. 7. Out -of -State Travel Authorized for Administrative Services Employee Councilman Quast moved to grant permission for out -of -State travel to allow attendance at an advanced maintenance workshop for the FMC Vanguard 3000 sweeper in Pomona, California. Councilman Stamon seconded and the motion carried. 8. Sole Source Resolution for Data Processing Equipment Passed Mayor Whidden read the Resolution by title, entitled RESOLUTION NO. 12 -87 A RESOLUTION of the City of Port Angeles designating the Hewlett Packard Corporation and Hewlett Packard equipment dealers as sole sources for acquisition of main computer peripheral equipment and additional central processing unit(s) (CPUs) to be operated in tandem with the existing CPU, and declaring an exception to normal bidding procedures. Councilman Schermer moved to pass the Resolution as read by title. Coun- cilman Stamon seconded. Councilman Hallett pointed out that the title of the Resolution allowed for purchase of a singular CPU and should read to allow acquisition of additional CPUs. Attorney Knutson agreed that we could change the title to reflect the plural and it would not change the legal consequences. The Council concurred to revise the title of the Resolution to read additional central processing unit(s) Councilman McPhee asked if Hewlett Packard was compatible with IBM software yet. Administrative Services Director Wolfe explained that Hewlett Packard micro computers are IBM compatible. However, with mainframes, this was not the case and he explained further that the City had not purchased software for a number of years. Councilman McPhee expressed concern that the City has a system that is not IBM compatible. Administrative Services Director Wolfe then presented information supporting the City's decision to utilize the Hewlett Packard system. Councilman McPhee stated that he was not saying that the City was wrong in staying with Hewlett Packard, but if one goes back and looks at the history of data processing in this City, we have had some problems because of the unavailability of programs. Councilman Quast suggested Councilman McPhee contact previous Councilmember John Hordyk to discuss the reasons behind the recommended purchase of the Hewlett Packard system by the Committee that he chaired. Councilman Hallett emphasized the need not to confuse opinion with facts. He empha- sized the accomplishments the City has had with the system, specifically the development of computerized dispatch. Police Chief Cleland also voiced his approval of the system. Following further discussion, on call for the question, the motion carried with Councilman McPhee voting "No 10. Participation in Power Supply Option Study Authorized Light Director Orton pointed out a typing error, that the last line should read a range of $1,000 to $2,500 Councilman Quast moved to concur with the request and authorize the City Light Director to sign the agreement, subject to the City Attorney's review. Councilman Stamon noted that this type of thing was being considered at a cost of about $24,000 and this would enable us to obtain the same services for 10% of the cost. Councilman Schermer seconded. Following discussion, on call for the question, the motion carried. 11. Resolution Passed Setting Date for Public Hearing on Six -Year Transportation Plan Mayor Whidden read the Resolution by title, entitled RESOLUTION NO. 13 -87 A RESOLUTION of the City of Port Angeles setting a public hearing date for review of its Six Year Comprehensive Street Program. Councilman Hallett moved to pass the Resolution as read by title, setting the public hearing for June 16, 1987. Councilman McPhee seconded. Councilman McPhee asked how flexible this plan was. Public Works Director Pittis explained that the six -year plan is required by State law but that the Council could, at any time they desire, by holding another public hearing, modify the plan. On call for the question, the motion carried. 12. Proclamation Flag Day June 14, 1987 Mayor Whidden proclaimed June 14, 1987, as Flag Day in Port Angeles and urged all citizens of Port Angeles to pause at 4:00 P.M., Pacific Time, on this date for the eighth annual "Pause for the Pledge" and recite with all Americans the Pledge of Allegiance to our Flag and Nation. Upon inquiry by Councilman Stamon, Mayor Whidden confirmed there was going to be an activity at the City Pier at 4:00 P.M. on June 14th. 13. Welcome to Grange Convention June 15 Through 19, 1987 Mayor Whidden proclaimed this community welcome to all conventioneers and urged our citizens to join in welcoming the Grange Convention to Port Angeles and in recognizing the promotion of family through Grange community oriented programs and families. VIII CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS /LATE ITEMS 757 CITY COUNCIL MEETING June 2, 1987 Councilman Hallett thanked staff for some background information on a proposed street vacation. He commented on some information Dick Wight had put together from his attendance on the Waterfront Revitalization Conference. He also thanked staff for their summary on what had been done with regard to secondary treatment. 758 CITY COUNCIL MEETING June 2, 1987 Councilman Stamon also commented on Mr. Wight's report on the Waterfront Revitalization for Smaller Communities Conference in Ocean Shores. She felt it was absolutely terrific and asked that we send a letter from the Mayor expressing our appreciation for this. She felt it was very helpful and wished that reports of this nature could be received from other Commission members who attended particular conferences. She suggested considering the recommendation that informational signs be placed along the Waterfront with regard to salmon- rearing pens, British Petroleum, etc. She also referred to a memo from the City Manager regarding an incident that had occurred relative to the new transvenous pacemaker where the Hospital had called upon the Port Angeles Fire Department's Paramedics to assist them utilizing this new piece of equipment, as they were not certified themselves to utilize the pacemaker. The result was to avert possible severe complications with a heart patient. She again thanked the Fire Department, the crew, and the kind gentleman who donated that piece of equipment to the City. She referred to information from minutes of a recent EDC meeting on infrastructure included on industrial property, and hoped that EDC would really start working on a solution to being able to provide infrastructure for this property. Councilman Schermer felt that the information on the amount of property with infrastructure might not be accurate, and listed particular areas he was aware of that did have utilities already installed. Manager Flodstrom felt that it was particularly difficult for a community of this size to spend a great deal of money providing infrastructure to entice industry when there was industrial land with infrastructure not being used. Councilman Stamon felt the County -wide plan for development should be worked on. Councilman Schermer emphasized the need for better communica- tion. Councilman Quast thanked the people at Pisces for beautifying the two planters on Railroad Avenue. He hoped that others were coming along too. Upon inquiry by Councilman Quast, Parks Recreation Director Brodhun explained that repair on the neon lights at the fountain had stopped for the time being. Manager Flodstrom explained that a proposal had been developed by the Parks Recreation Director and the Parks Superintendent for lighting the fountain, and once the proposal and cost estimates were completed, he would take that proposal to the Downtown Association. Councilman Quast then inquired about information listed on a City Hall change order. Public Works Director Pittis explained the information was regarding cardreaders for electronic locks for specific rooms in the new City Hall, as well as the vault, etc. He stated this had not been included; however, the conduit for this type of a system had been included in consideration' of future implementation. Public Works Director Pittis explained that this type of system improved security by providing informa- tion on what time individuals entered a room, who entered, who left, etc. This information is maintained on a personal computer. Councilman Schermer reported on a meeting of the Parking Committee. Manager Flodstrom explained that Budget Rent -A -Car with their administra- tion of the Downtown lot, would have the option for longer than two -hour parking and less than all day parking. Councilman Schermer also reported that Councilman Stamon and he would be spending a full day on Friday at a transit workshop at Lake Crescent. Upon inquiry by Councilman Quast, Police Chief Cleland answered that parking is not enforced after 5:00 and that open parking is available at that time. Councilman Stamon indicated concern over the status of funding for the Chamber of Commerce Fourth of July display and asked when the yard sale being conducted by the Volunteer Firefighters was. Fire Chief Glenn answered it was this Saturday. Mayor Whidden stated that a representative was needed for the June 14th Flag Day celebration. Mayor Whidden asked Manager Flodstrom about the status of railroad cross- ings at three intersections on Marine Drive. Manager Flodstrom answered that a letter had been sent to Chicago, Milwaukee Railroad but no response had yet been received. Mayor Whidden announced that flowers had been sent to Mayor Dinan of Sequim from the Port Angeles City Council, as Mr. Dinan had been hospitalized. Manager Flodstrom explained that bids had been received on the NACO Camp- ground membership authorized for sale by the City Council previously. The membership had been a part of the Esther Webster Estate, and provided the recommendation of the Parks Recreation Department. Councilman Stamon moved to concur with the Parks Recreation Department's recommendation and award the membership to Jan Roden, who was the highest bidder, for the amount of $2,700. Councilman Hallett seconded. Following discussion on the cost and whether or not this was a reasonable price, on call for the question, the motion carried. Manager Flodstrom confirmed departure and arrival times, as well as regis- tration confirmations with Councilmembers attending the Association of Washington Cities convention in Yakima. Manager Flodstrom also referred to a letter he had received from Operation Uplift, asking if they could utilize the old Hospice headquarters, for their headquarters for a period of six months or longer, beginning July 1st. Councilman Schermer moved to authorize Operation Uplift to occupy the old Hospice building for a six -month period and authorized the City Attorney to draw up an agreement. Councilman Stamon seconded, with the understanding that the agreement would come back to the next City Council meeting for authorization of the Mayor's signature. The motion carried. Manager Flodstrom then provided information on the proposed expansion of the Red Lion Inn and on Gund Plaza. The Council then scheduled a UAC meeting for June 9, 1987, at 4:00 P.M. in the City Council Chambers, to consider further the proposed renewal of the Telecable franchise.
