X LEGISLATION 1. Appointment to Parks Recreation and Beautification Commission Candidates who applied for the Parks, Recreation and Beautification Commis- sion were Nancy Phillips, Betty Warder, Christopher Martin, H. Duane Wright, Peggy Western, Sam Boddy, Jr. Council held a roll call vote to determine who would be appointed to the Commission. Councilman Gabriel voted for Nancy Phillips. Councilman Hallett voted for Nancy Phillips. Councilman Sargent voted for Betty Warder. Councilman Stamon voted for Betty Warder. Coun- cilman Hesla voted for Christopher Martin. Mayor McPhee voted for Christopher Martin. As a result of the tie vote, Council recast their votes, with Councilmen Gabriel, Hallett and Stamon voting for Nancy Phillips, Councilman Sargent voting for Betty Warder, Councilman Hesla and Mayor McPhee voting for Christopher Martin. Since once again, there was not a majority vote for the appointment, Council decided to vote for the two candidates with the most votes, those being Christopher Martin and Nancy Phillips. Councilmen Stamon, Sargent, Hallett, Gabriel and Hesla voted for Nancy Phillips, and Mayor McPhee voted for Christopher Martin. Mrs. Phillips was appointed to fill the vacancy on the Parks, Recreation and Beautification Commission. 2. Public Hearings K A. Public Input on Development of 1989-1990 Budget Mayor McPhee opened the public hearing at 7:20 P.M. Kathy Northrup, 210 East Seventh Street, President of the Economic Develop- ment Council, encoura ed, conti g su or f Cn ihe DC Sha 1095 CITY COUNCIL MEETING August 16, 1988 Councilman Hallett questioned Ms. Northrup as to whether she would be satisfied with the existing funding level. She stated she was not prepared to give a specific funding request; however, she did state they had not asked for increased funding over the past five years. She believed the funding they had been receiving would be adequate for the work they needed to accomplish. Jewell VanOss, 1019 East Fourth Street, spoke for continued support of the beautification project, also Council's consideration of paving that portion of the Waterfront Trail which lies in front of the Boat Haven in the rail- road right-of-way. Councilman Stamon asked Ms. VanOss if she was in support of continuing the efforts of the beautification on a wider basis throughout the City, and not just the Downtown area. Ms. VanOss replied that very definitely she would like to see the expansion of such, most particularly in the Fine Art Center parking lot, and also to landscape City properties. Tom Leinart, 3002 South Peabody Street, a school teacher at Stevens Middle School, complimented the Port Angeles Police Department on their DARE program and asked Council to support the continuation of the Program. Council should also consider adding an additional officer to the Program, as it has been expanded from the grade school level to include the middle school level. Mr. Leinhart did not feel that Officer Terry Gallagher would be able to fulfill the commitments of the expanded program alone. He commented that Officer Gallagher's time was stretched thin and one more officer could be added to make the Program an even greater success than it already is. Dick Pickett, a resident of Port Angeles and a business banking manager for Seattle -First National Bank, urged Council to continue their support of the EDC. He believed one of the most important aspects for success of a commu- nity is that of a healthy and growing economy and what that economy means to that community - jobs, tax base, tax revenues, etc. He felt if we reduced the marketing program, it would put us behind other communities in the Northwest which are attracting businesses to keep their economy going. Jerry Cornell, 824 East Fourth Street, spoke in support of the beautifica- tion efforts. He stated in terms of the beautification Downtown, the merchants have noticed a major change, whereas in the past tourists had complained about how dirty and unkempt the Downtown looked. However, this summer, tourists have been very pleased and have had positive attitudes about the area. He also made note of the street ends and viewpoints within the City, stating those are generally well taken care of, and believed the Parks Department needed some assistance in in order to keep up with the maintenance. Craig. Miller, 403 South Peabody Street, a member of the Board of Directors for the EDC, spoke in favor of continued support of the funding for the EDC for two reasons: (1) He has lived in Port Angeles all his life and did not want to see Port Angeles wither and die economically. He wanted it to continue to be a vibrant place, a place where ert-onomic growth continues. (2) Economic development is good for the business he is in. Milton Ranta, 911 South "C" Street, thanked the City and the Councilmembers for the efforts and the work they have done in helping make the City more accessible for the physically handicapped. However, he did make some recommendations, as he felt the job was only part-way done, one of those 1,.,,4__ t'k,f- 4f , –1--4—I Il I,nrrlinnnnnrl -m rcnn wlippl-nlhair hrninrl waG trvinv 1096 CITY COUNCIL MEETING August 16, 1988 Councilman Stamon stated there is a possibility, since it was only an ad hoc committee and they could expand the membership. Hattie Berglund, 1834 West Seventh Street, spoke in support of Council's continued effort to include funding of general public services, including police, fire, water, street, sewer, Medic I, and recreation. She also commended the Parks Department for the maintenance of the parks, the baseball fields and the tennis courts, the Swimming Pool and general picnic play areas, together with the summer recreation program. She was also in agreement with Ms. VanOss' comments on upgrading the Waterfront Trail. She spoke on the continued support of the permitting process, stating orderly government in Port Angeles must have a permitting process. It is essential, she felt, that Council provide the Planning Department with the staff and the financial needs to monitor and enforce all permit conditions, present, past and future, stating without enforcement of those permit conditions, you may as well forget the permitting process. She also encouraged Council to give top priority to recycling programs. She suggested the program include incentives, with penalties for those households who do not participate. However, she was opposed to continued support of the EDC. There being no further public comments, Mayor McPhee closed the public hearing at 7:55 P.M. Councilman Stamon thanked those people who came forward with their comments. B. Consideration of Resolution for Abatement of Overgrown Lots and Public Nuisances Mayor McPhee opened the public hearing at 7:57 P.M. Larry Leonard, 1030 Olympus Avenue, questioned how many lots have been declared public nuisances to date, and also stated the City should take a look at its own property; also asking who is responsible for the upkeep of alleys. Mayor McPhee stated that 80 was probably the absolute minimum of lots considered nuisances. Councilman Hallett asked for clarification of who was responsible for alleys. Public Works Director Pittis asked whether Councilman Hallett was referring to improved or unimproved alleys. Councilman Hallett asked that he address the issue of an unimproved alley. Director Pittis replied that generally, with unimproved alleys, the maintenance is divided between the abutting property owners. Usually, however, nothing occurs because unim- proved alleys are just like unimproved property, and essentially the City does not provide any maintenance for an unopened area. Councilman Hallett asked for an example of improved alleys. Director Pittis replied that improved alleys fall within the City for maintenance. Following further discussion, Mayor McPhee closed the public hearing at 8:03 P.M. He then read the Resolution by title, entitled RESOLUTION NO. 21-88 A RESOLUTION of the City Council of the City of Port Angeles, Washington, declaring the existence of a public nuisance and requiring 1097 CITY COUNCIL MEETING August 16, 1988 ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles vacating a portion of "L" Street. Councilman Sargent stated during the Real Estate Committee meeting, the Committee had determined this piece of property would be very dangerous to designate as a viewpoint, and the suggestion was made in the Committee to place a sign at the bottom of Hill Street advising residents and visitors of Crown Park and its location. Councilman Hallett noted the Planning Commission did pass this issue. Mayor McPhee pointed out to Council the Planning Commission did not act on this issue unanimously. He stated the City is going to grow, and viewpoints will be at a premium. Additionally, this is public land that can be used in time, and what Council is proposing is to take away that property. He believed it would present a pleasant view for the public coming down the hill from the top of "L" Street and did not believe the City was gaining anything by giving up this property. He was opposed to the street vacation. Councilman Stamon requested the value the Real Estate Committee had placed on this piece of property. Councilman Hesla replied the value placed on the east half of the right-of- way was $269.50, which is half of the assessed value. Councilman Hallett asked whether there are any restrictions which would prohibit the person requesting the street vacation to use that piece of property without the City allowing the vacation to take place. Planner Carr responded, typically people can use unopened rights-of-way abutting their property for landscaping and open space. However, when they desire to place structures or permanent activities in the right-of-way, usually a right-of- way use permit is required and it is allowed on that location if the permit is issued, with any subsequent public use of the right-of-way requiring the removal. Currently people can use unopened rights-of-way for non- permanent use; however, structures, if they have a permit, are all subject to removal if the public should need the right-of-way for public use. One modification is on a hillside. The City may want to exercise additional control to protect the stability of the hillside and the vegetation. Councilman Hallett stated if Council allows the vacation, then what is used on the property would be entirely within the discretion of the property owner. Planner Carr replied that was correct, subject to the zoning requirements. Councilman Stamon voiced her concern with the street vacation, making specific note of a memo written to the Planning Commission from the City Attorney addressing the legal standards which apply to a city's decision to vacate a street or not to vacate a street. In the memo, the Attorney is very emphatic about street vacations based on State law; orders of vacation must have within it some element of public use and cannot be solely for the private benefit of abutting property owners. She stated she was hard pressed in this issue to find public benefit other than that of the abutting owner. She felt there were good arguments on both sides, but in weighing the argument very carefully, she felt the recommendation from the Council should be to retain this particular piece of property. She stated the Comprehensive Plan speaks to the need to preserve and protect unique .ori Tr�.li n -I f n-rnnl�i rnl fcatiirae MOW.] CITY COUNCIL MEETING August 16, 1988 City Attorney Knutson commented in regards to his memo, stating even though case law is adamant about street vacations having to be for public use, the question is not really that simple. He believed the preferred rule should either be that there is an element of public use or the public benefit outweighs any detriment that would result from the street vacation and would not interfere with any future public use that might be made of the property. Councilman Stamon incorporated language in her motion, at the end of the findings: The preferred rule should be that there is an element of public use or the public benefit outweighs any detriment that would result from the street vacation and would not interfere with any future public use that might be made of the property. On call for the question, the motion carried unanimously. D. Street Vacation Request - STV -88(8)7 - Fitzpatrick (portion of Caroline/Victoria Alley Mayor McPhee opened the public hearing at 8:25 P.M. Michael Fitzpatrick, 825 East Caroline Street, gave Council a brief history of the ownership of his property, stating the area in question has been used as a lawn and has been landscaped and maintained as part of the home since 1923. Fifteen years ago, an addition was built on the back side of the house and at that time he was given permission by either the Planning Com- mission or City Council to go ahead and build the addition. However, more recently there was the anticipation to possibly open the alley. At that point Mr. Fitzpatrick decided something needed to be done and so he applied for the street vacation request. Craig Miller, 403 South Peabody Street, representing Mr. Fitzpatrick, commented on Councilman Stamon's quote from Attorney Knutson's memo, stating his recollection of the law regarding street vacations is the requirement of public benefit in the vacation, but he did not believe the public benefit has to be a great public benefit; in fact, he believed Council would not see a great public benefit in the majority of vacations to come before them. He believed a sufficient public benefit is to (1) put the property on the tax rolls so taxes can be received, and (2) do away with the maintenance liabilities the City may have. He believed those to be sufficient public benefit to justify the vacation. Mayor McPhee then closed the public hearing at 8:33 P.M. and read the Ordinance by title, entitled ORDINANCE NO. 2504 AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles vacating a portion of the Caroline/ Victoria Alley. Councilman Hesla reported the Public Works Department has estimated the value of the subject property as $3,110 and under State law, the City may charge up to half the assessed value, which would set the compensation for the vacation at $1,555. Councilman Sargent moved to adopt the Ordinance as read by title, and to incorporate the following conditions: (1) The lots on the north side of the vacated right-of-way be combined with the lots on the south side into one or 1099 CITY COUNCIL MEETING August 16, 1988 the developable area can be reached by emergency vehicles using existing rights-of-way; (E) Given the existing zoning and topography in the area, vacation of the subject right-of-way will not significantly affect develop- ment patterns and may result in a better lot arrangement that is more reflective of the topography, provided the conditions are attached; (F) Provided a utility easement is retained, vacation will not restrict utility services to the area; and to set the compensation for $1,555. Councilman Stamon seconded, with the understanding that the Council authorize the Ordinance be published by summary, rather than in its full text. Councilman Stamon stated it may seem the Council is contradicting themselves by deny- ing one vacation and then approving another, but she believed there was a clear distinction in this particular instance where a number of issues came forward; first Council is not vacating a public viewpoint, the topography of this particular lot is different; also the fact there is an encroachment on the alley by the applicant's home. Councilman Stamon stated somewhere in the past there had been a misunder- standing and now Mr. Fitzpatrick does not have clear title to the property he owns. She agreed with Mr. Miller's comment: public benefit is not the only criterion to weigh. Attorney Knutson, in responding to Councilman Stamon and Mr. Miller's comments, reiterated the issues brought out in the memo, stating if there is no particular public use trying to be made of the right-of-way after it has been vacated, then the standard we would look to is whether the public benefit that will result outweighs any detriment. Therefore, there does not have to be any particularly significant benefit, but whatever benefit there is should outweigh any detriment that could otherwise result. On call for the question, the motion carried, with Councilman Hallett voting "No". E. Street Vacation Request - STV -88(8)6 - Cronauer/Whitman (Portion of Caroline Street) - Continued to September 20, 1988 Councilman Stamon moved to continue this item to the September 20, 1988, City Council meeting. Councilman Sargent seconded and the motion carried. 3. Planning Commission Minutes of August 10, 1988 A. Conditional Use Hearing - CUP -88(8)14 - Olympic Disposal Councilman Stamon moved to concur with the recommendation of the Planning Commission to approve the Conditional Use Permit, subject to the following conditions: (1) As proposed, the 16 -foot travel trailer shall be approved subject to review by the Public Works, Light and Fire Departments, to ensure that the building meets those requirements necessary to comply with the regulations of City Departments and other applicable regulatory agencies; and citing the following findings: (2) One smoke alarm and one lAl0BC fire extinguisher be installed in the trailer before being occupied; (3) That this Permit be reviewed after one year of operation; (4) That approval of this Permit be terminated if the applicant's contract with the City is terminated; and citing the following findings: w (A) Existing mitigation measures located at the Landfill site and incorporated in the site plan, as submitted by the applicant, will ensure the project is compatible with the existing use of the Landfill site and surrounding properties in the imme- diate vicinity; (B) Design review of the project required by this Permit will reduce the potential impacts of the project to insignificant levels; (C) This use has been conditioned to ensure that it shall not be detrimental to th,- h,-nl th caf,-ty rnmfnrt- anti coal far,- of th,- acn,-ral cnihl i r ('nnn- 1100 CITY COUNCIL MEETING August 16, 1988 areas shall meet all State Department of Health requirements for a family day care center; (3) State and local Fire Codes shall be complied with, including smoke alarm, fire extinguishers, and approved exit areas.

Councilman Hallett seconded and the motion carried. C.

Councilman Councilman Hallett moved to accept and place on file the Planning Commission minutes of the August 10, 1988, meeting. Councilman Gabriel seconded and the motion carried. BREAK Mayor McPhee recessed the meeting for a 15 -minute break at 8:52 P.M. 4. Consideration of Resolution to Set Public Hearings for LIDS - Alder Street, Regent Street and Sixth Street in Cresthaven Mayor McPhee read the Resolutions by title, entitled RESOLUTION NO. 22-88 RESOLUTION NO. 23-88 RESOLUTION NO. 24-88 RESOLUTIONS of the City Council of the City of Port Angeles, Washington, decl4ring the intention of the City Council to order the improvement of a certain area within the City by doing street improvement and by doing all other work necessary in connection therewith and fixing a time, date and place for a hearing on this Resolution of Intention. 1101 CITY COUNCIL MEETING August 16, 1988 months. She stated she seriously hoped Council would consider the goals recommended by the Committee. She felt this to be a possible goal. Councilman Hallett questioned whether the 50% of the solid waste stream referred to by the Committee's recommendation included sources of waste stream that the City wants to recycle, or if this included things over and above that 50% which are not identified. Councilman Sargent replied if Council would encourage the public to support a recycling program and the recycling included aluminum cans, tin, glass, paper, plus the institution of a composting program, there would be no problem of achieving the 50% reduction. This, would, in turn, make the Landfill last twice as long. Councilman Hallett asked what the time line was to accomplish this goal. Carl Alexander, 1712 West Fifth Street, a member of the Recycling Commit- tee, addressed Councilman Hallett's question regarding the recycling program. He stated the Committee was looking for a 50% reduction in the waste stream within the next five years. Basically what that means, is Council needs to adopt the recommendations up through the intermediate stages of the program, and if that is enacted, the goals will be met. Mayor McPhee questioned Public Works Director Pittis if the City was to remove the paper products, cardboard and vegetation from the Landfill, would that not be a 50% reduction? Director Pittis replied on an average, that might be a little less than 50%. However, in the summer time, it is most certainly higher because the increase in yard waste comprises a large volume of the material collected at the Landfill. Councilman Stamon stated the key to any kind of rapid attainment of the goal of 50% would have to be curb -side collection of the compostable type of materials, and felt this should be one of the prime targets Council should consider during the budget process. Councilman Sargent then amended the motion to include in Council's Goals and Objectives a 50% recycling program, to review short-term, intermediate and long-term goals of the Committee in the budget process, within a three to five-year period. Councilman Gabriel concurred. On call for the question, the motion carried. Councilman Stamon requested this issue be added as an item of discussion that will be on the agenda for the budgeting of the Goals and Objectives process. Councilman Hallett requested a letter of thanks be sent to the Committee. Council agreed. Councilman Sargent discussed with Councilmembers and staff the Committee's recommendation for pursuing the solution of the tire problem in the ravine immediately east of the Cemetery, stating two experts had been out to review the problem and their recommendations were (1) the Port of Port Angeles start appropriate settling basins in order to check the water flow from the Airport, and (2) the Port contribute to the City a portion of the cost of extending the culvert and its covering with earth; to be excavated from the Landfill; because their recommendation was to extend the culvert and to fill the ravine with dirt. She asked that Council instruct staff to pursue the recommendation and see if it was a feasible solution to the problem. Mayor McPhee reminded Council they would be able to discuss this issue at great length at a later time. 1102 CITY COUNCIL MEETING August 16, 1988 Mayor McPhee questioned the need to have a representative from the Economic Development Council. He indicated this is actually the Clallam County Economic Development Council and the City has a local Chamber of Commerce. He felt it would be more appropriate to have a representative of the Chamber of Commerce, rather than from the County Economic Development Council. He stated if this change was made, he would support the motion. Councilman Stamon replied her motion was deliberate in that issue, as she considered that as an alternative but believed the reason the City had received the moneys for this program initially was for the purpose of promoting economic development within the City of Port Angeles, and the EDC exists to do exactly that. Councilman Hallett stated he understood the Mayor's concern; however, he believed of a seven -member committee, there would quite likely be seven members of the Chamber as well. On call for the question, the motion carried unanimously. 7. Consideration of Contract with Power Washington Loan for Insulation of Swimming Pool Roof Councilman Hallett moved to authorize the Mayor to execute the loan contract with the Washington State Energy Office for the amount of $17,355. Coun- cilman Sargent seconded. In speaking to his motion, Councilman Hallett stated this loan is zero interest and a finance fee of 5%. Therefore, the loan amount is $16,529, with the 5% finance fee of $826. He commended the Light and Parks Depart- ments for their time in securing this loan. Councilman Stamon specifically named and commended Sheila Hardy, Conserva- tion Manager, and her staff because of their involvement in securing the loan. On call for the question, the motion carried. 8. City Council Will Consider Meeting Dates for Reviewing the City's Goals and Objectives Council set meeting dates for consideration of the City's Goals and Objec- tives for September 7th, 8th and 9th, from 5 PM to 9 PM, in the City Council Chambers. 9. Consideration of Procedures for Filling City Council Vacancy and Setting Interview Dates for Applicants Councilman Sargent suggested using the interview process. Councilman Stamon agreed with the interview process. Council discussed several different options they could proceed with to fill the vacancy of the Councilmember. Councilman Hallett then moved that on Friday, August 19th, at 5:00 PM the applications for the Council position be closed. Council will then schedule interviews with those applicants who have applied. Interviews will be held for each applicant and each Councilmember will be given an oppor- 1103 CITY COUNCIL MEETING August 16, 1988 Council set Tuesday, August 30th, 5 PM to 9 PM, and Wednesday, August 31st, 7 PM to 9 PM for interviews of the applicants. 10. Consideration of Contract with Clallam County for Health Services During 1988 Councilman Stamon moved to authorize the Mayor to sign the contract for health services for 1988 between the County and City. Councilman Hesla seconded and the motion carried. XI ITEMS FROM THE AUDIENCE NOT ON THE AGENDA I�GF.T_ XII CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS/LATE ITEMS Councilman Hesla bade a fond farewell and expressed his hopes that Council would be able to find his replacement expeditiously for the sake of the City and that it would be a good, positive situation to bring the Council together. He stated he was proud of achievements Council has accomplished in his term. Mayor McPhee, speaking on behalf of the Council, wished Councilman Hesla the best and thanked him for serving on the Council. Councilman Gabriel posed a question to Public Works Director Pittis regarding the dumping of sewage from trailer parks in the City system. Director Pittis replied that sanikan wastes would not be allowed, and notices were sent out to that effect. This was in conjunction with the notice sent to septic tank dumpers. However, the Department is in the process now of retracting that for sanikans, providing they follow the correct procedures. Councilman Hallett asked if Items 20 and 21 on the Information Agenda, dealing with Medic I billing for services, and transfer of cable TV franchise, would be addressed at the September 6th meeting. Manager Flodstrom assured him that they would be. Councilman Sargent, referring to Item 10 on the Information Agenda, regarding a potential business application of the strip -tease club, stated Council needed an ordinance regarding this issue and requested that it be put on the September 6th Agenda. After some discussion. on the issue by staff and Council, Council agreed they would be ready to speak to this issue at the September 6th meeting. Attorney Knutson stated he would provide Council with a memo which would explain in detail the different kinds of provisions that could beincluded in an ordinance, so Council could consider that ahead of time and a decision could be made. Councilman Stamon, in speaking to the report from the survey on fireworks and curfew issues, stated she would be organizing a town meeting on the issue of curfew some time in September. XIII ADJOURN TO EXECUTIVE SESSION Mayor McPhee adjourned the meeting to executive session at 10:06 P.M. to discuss three items of pending litigation and one item of labor contract discussion. Estimated time was to be 30 to 45 minutes. XTV RETURN TO OPEN SESSION
