He stated the College felt the duty for replacement of exterior windows, exterior painting, maintenance of exterior lighting on the building, and some provision for clean -up of pigeon refuse was the City's responsibility. He also addressed the subject of publications, updating Councilmembers on the cooperative brochure with the Chamber of Commerce and the Clallam County Museum. In discussion, Councilman Quast stated if Mayor Whidden or staff could see a mock -up of the brochure, he would move to authorize Mayor Whidden to sign the check. Discussion followed.

He went on to review other aspects of the project and their status. Jackson Carter of Arai /Jackson Architects, gave an explanation of a scale model presented to Councilmembers. An extensive discussion followed. Following the discussion, Councilman Quast moved to accept the final schematics of City Hall as presented, and particularly Items 1 to 7; however, that Council set aside a special review of the financing of the landscaped mall, and the Vern Burton beautification, pending further discussion on that funding. Councilman Hallett seconded. Councilman McPhee then spoke on the issue, reiterating many of his comments from previous meetings. Councilman Hallett took exception to Councilman McPhee's statements, stating he felt things had gotten better and stated he, as an elected official, was committed to being responsible in using the City's funds to a higher and better use. He spoke in favor of the motion. Councilman Stamon stated the process the Council had put the architects through was done responsibly. Councilman Quast noted for the record that Project Director Pittis had stated the ideal size would be 30,000 square feet. He pointed out that all Councilmembers knew that fact, but decided to give the architects the task of fitting 27,000 square feet around programmed needs. Furthermore, at that time they realized there might have to be a compromise as long as it stayed within the budget for City Hall. Councilman Quast then stated for the record that Councilman McPhee was not necessarily right; that Council was very much aware of the facts, and that staff had told Councilmembers the figures were highly flexible and Council- man McPhee had given the public misinformation. On call for the question, the motion carried with Councilman McPhee voting "No". Councilman Stamon noted the time was 10:40 P.M. By consensus, Councilmem- bers decided to continue the meeting. Manager Flodstrom stated he had a list of questions from the group "Citi- zens for Responsible Government and requested Councilmembers respond to those questions.
