Councilman Buck then moved for final approval of the position paper on Oil Spill Contingency Planning. The motion was seconded by Councilman Quast and carried. 4. ANNEXATION INTO RURAL LIBRARY DISTRICT I Mayor Haguewood read a memorandum from Finance Director Orton explaining the financial impacts were the City to annex to the Rural Library District. Mr. Orton explained that the new law provides that the library levy is subtracted from the city's statutory limit ($3.60 per $1,000 of assessed valuation). However, the Department of Revenue's interpretation of the statute indicates that the District levy is calculated independently of the 106% rule applied to the City's tax limit. Thus, as long as the library levy rate remains at $.50 per $1,000, the maximum City levy will be $3.10 ($3.60 minus $.50). It was Finance Director Orton's opinion that it was highly unlikely that the City's effective tax rate would ever approach $3.10. 122 CITY COUNCIL MEETING June 16, 1981 VIII LEGISLATION 4. Cont. Mayor Haguewood then introduced and read by title Ordinance No. 2153 entitled, Ordinance No. 2153 AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles declaring the intent of the City of Port Angeles to annex to the Clallarn County Rural Library District. I Councilman Buck moved the Council adopt the foregoing Ordinance as read by title by Mayor Haguewood. The motion was seconded by Councilman Boardman. During discussion on the motion, the Council, Attorney Miller, and Library Director Terry White discussed at length the City's representation on the North Olympic Library Board and whether this representation would continue on the Rural Library Board. Attorney Miller explained the options avail- able to the City, and suggested the City contact the County Commissioners and ask them to exercise their discretion in the manner by which they appoint members to the Library Board, and to continue to appoint persons who will represent the City. Also discussed was the lease agreement between the City and Library District for use of the library building and the future of the City's inventory in the library. On call for the ques- tion, the motion was passed by the Council with Councilman Duncan abstaining. 5. MUNIC:IPAL COURT AGREEMENT Councilman Buck moved the Council authorize Mayor Haguewood to sign the Termination of Agreement between the City and County for operation of the Municipal Court within District Court. The motion was seconded by Council- man Duncan and carried. Councilman Buck then moved the Council authorize Mayor Haguewood to sign the new "per case" agreement with the County I District Court for Municipal Court cases. The motion was seconded by Councilman Duncan and carried. 6. CITY/COUNTY JAIL USE AGREEMENT AMENDMENT Manager Flodstrom informed the Council that the County had submitted a revised copy of their jail use proposal which was accepted by the Council at the June 2, 19B1 meeting. The formula for use of the county jail by City prisoners is the same; however, the County now prefers to calculate the approximate daily prisoner care fee beginning July 1, 19B1 based on the proceeding six months. The County will then recalculate the fee in December based upon the actual expenses and the City will receive a credit or debit on the next quarterly billing. Councilman Buck then moved the Council authorize Mayor Haguewood to sign the Amendment to the Agreement for use of the County Jail facility, as submitted by the County at this meeting. The motion was seconded by Councilman Boardman and carried. 7. SELF INSURING CITY'S GENERAL LIABILITY COVERAGE Finance Director Orton gave a brief presentation on the feasibility of the City being self-insured for its general liability coverage. Mr. Orton pointed out that much of the information needed to make this presentation had not yet been received from the City's insurance agent, however he would I like some preliminary input from the Council. Mr. Orton explained some of the general and special policies presently held by the City, the current efforts to keep the City's liability exposure low, and the success of the City self-insuring its Workman's Compensation. However, the City will be absorbing a considerable risk in self-insuring its general liability coverage. Mr. Orton also pointed out that the City's False Arrest policy expired June 16th, with two other larger policies due to expire on June 27th; he has requested these policies be bound over on a month-to-month basis until the Council reaches a decision on self-insurance. 123 CITY COUNCIL MEETING June 16, 1981 VIII LEGISLATION 7. Cont. I Following a brief discussion on the service provided by the City's present insurance agent; the low false arrent exposure now that the City no longer has a jail; and the cost to bind the False Arrent, General Liability, and Umbrella policies, the Council directed Finance Director Orton to obtain the additional information he needs and submit this information at the next regular Council meeting. 8. LINCOLN STREET CHANNELIZATION Public Works Director Pittis briefly reviewed his memorandum to the Council regarding the channelization of Lincoln Street. The proposed channelization will allow left turn lanes at the intersections between Third and Eighth Street on Lincoln (SR 101) and will effectively confine left turn movements to street intersections and prohibit mid-block left turns. Mr. Pittis informed the Council that a meeting was held June 12th with area merchants .to discuss the proposed channelization, with the general opinion of those present being that the~ did not favor any revision at all, but if they had to choose between the alternatives, they preferred the left turn channeli- zation over the two-way left turn lane. It was public works Director Pittis' recommendation that the channelization of left turns at the inter- sections be the alternative selected to decrease safety hazards and improve the capacity of Lincoln Street. I The Council, Manager Flodstrom, city Engineer Rose, and Public Works Director pittis then discussed the past traffic and accident history of Lincoln Street; the alternatives available for channelization revisions; parking spaces which will be deleted to provide adequate width for the operation of this proposal; and the need to widen the 6th and 7th Street entrances to Albertsons and Pay-n-Save. Councilman Buck then moved the Council concur with the recommendation of Public Works Director Pittis and adopt the Lincoln Street left-turn channelization as proposed. The motion was seconded by Councilman Duncan and carried. 9. VEHICLE ALLOWANCE PROGRAM Manager Flodstrom briefly reviewed his memorandum concerning substitution of private vehicles in place of currently used City vehicles. Manager Flodstrom proposed that those employees who are currently assigned City vehicles be classed into three groups: (Al Group I would contain those employees who, because of the nature of the job, require either specialized equipment or 24-hour use due to their need to respond to emergency situations; (Bl Group II would contain those employees who currently have 24-hour vehicles but do not have an emergency response need or the need for specialized equipment. These employees have the need for 24-hour vehicle use but the need could be met by utilizing private vehicles, partially funded by a monthly auto allowance; and (C) Group III would contain those employees, some of whom currently have 24-hour vehicle use, who may only occasionally have a need for 24-hour use of a City vehicle, but who do have a definite need for a vehicle during the regular working hours. The employees in this group do not need a full time vehicle. When a vehicle is needed, the need could be met by the use of their private vehicle or a specially assigned City vehicle. Use of a private vehicle could be paid for using a flat rate amount per mile driven. I Following a brief discussion regarding transfer of communication equipment from City vehicles to private vehicles, and the current high vehicle re- placement costs, Councilman Duncan moved the Council authorize Manager Flodstrom to proceed with this proposal and provide the Council with the cost figures plus a formal "City Vehicle Use" policy at the July 7, 1981 regular Council meeting. The motion was seconded by Councilman Buck and carried. 10. REMOVAL OF HIGH DIVING BOARD AT POOL At the request of Mayor Haguewood, Manager Flodstrom explained an unsafe condition which is currently existing at the William Shore Memorial Pool. Since July, 1979, the pool has experienced six incidents resulting from individualS using the high diving (3-meter) board and hitting the pool bottom. In all cases, the injuries resulted from the individual striking the pool bottom, either the north or south slope extending to the five foot level. 124 CITY COUNCIL MEETING June 16, 1981 VIII LEGISLATION 10. Cont. In addition to the problem of the required 12 foot depth directly under the high board, the pool does not have the required 20 foot distance from the pool wall to the plummet.
