Councilman Sargent offered a correction to page 5, item 6, regarding Committee Assignments for Councilman Ostrowski, striking the Museum Board from the assignments, as Mayor McPhee has taken the position.. On call for the question, the motion carried. V FINANCE 1. Consideration of Bids for Landfill Chinning Councilman Hallett moved to concur with the recommendation of the Public Works Department that the bid of Pacific Topsoils, Inc., be rejected and authorization be granted to advertise for the purchase of a brush chipper for the Landfill. Councilman Sargent seconded the motion. Council and staff discussed the possibility of burning and the restrictions regarding burning of materials. Councilman Gabriel stated he felt it was unrealistic to purchase a chipper, and that staff should explore other alternatives, such as burning at an off -site area. Councilman Hallett spoke in support of his motion, stating it was a Goal of the City to reduce the rate of fill being put into the Landfill. Mayor McPhee spoke in opposition to the motion, suggesting that staff re- advertise locally. Councilman Sargent also suggested there be advertisement locally and to direct staff to do so. She then offered a friendly amendment to direct staff to re- advertise locally; if no further proposals are received, then to allow staff to advertise for bids for the chipper. Councilman Hallett concurred. Councilman Hordyk stated there are some advantages to chipping, as this material could be sold to other businesses in the industry. On call for the question, the amended motion carried unanimously. 1421 CITY COUNCIL MEETING September 5, 1989 2. Request for Progress Payment to Lakeside Industries for LIDs of $124.481.76 Councilman Sargent moved to authorize progress payment to Lakeside Industries for LIDs of Regent, Alder, and Sixth Street, in the amount of $124,481.76, with the retainage amount of $6,551.67. Councilman Hordyk seconded and the motion carried unanimously.

Councilman Sargent seconded and the motion carried unanimously. VII ITEMS FROM THE CITY COUNCIL /AUDIENCE TO BE CONSIDERED /PLACED ON THE AGENDA Kathryn Holl, 609 East llth Street, requested the Council allow her to speak on Item 11 regarding the Humane Society Agreement. Werner Quast, 3800 Park Knoll, requested the Council consider, at the September 19th meeting, the paying of $20,000 compensation to Japanese descendants within the City of Port Angeles and to have this money refunded by the Federal government when the Federal government feels fit to rectify the injustice of the Japanese Americans interned during World War II. Bob Bends also requested to speak on the issue regarding the Humane Society agreement. David Schulz, 127 West Fourth, questioned the $20 sewer charge, asking if this money was, in fact, being set aside in a trust fund for the construction of the Secondary Treatment Plant. Director of Administrative Services Wolfe stated the money is being placed in a capital fund to offset the cost of the Secondary Treatment Plant. However, he did note that this money would not cover the full cost of the Plant. Mayor McPhee requested Item 20 be placed on the Agenda, Discussion Regarding the Medic I Program. VIII LEGISLATION 1. Yard of the Month Awards September, 1989 Mayor McPhee presented awards to the following people: Robert and Margaret Frick, 614 East Lopez; L. E. "Lefty" Attwood, 139 Forest; Jim and Vicki Anderson, 2132 Clipper Cove; Phil and Dorothy Jackson, 1821 West Fourth; David Rood and Marjorie Upton, 623 East Fifth; Bruce and Penny Beane, 1127 East Ninth; and Neighborhood of the Month: Reinhart and Marion Nerling, 213 Alderwood Circle; Bill and Marge Pieratte, 217 Alderwood Circle; Virginia Gort, 218 Alderwood Circle; Myrtle Weed, 221 Alderwood Circle, Jack and Joyce Chiasson, 229 Alderwood Circle; and Stephanie Riffle, 207 Alderwood Circle. 2. Public Hearing A. Rezone Request REZ- 89(08)6 Lemon Lots 5 and 6. Block 237. TPA, from Residential Single Familv (RS -7) to CSD -N. Neighborhood Community Shopping District Clarification was made that Mr. Lemon is no longer the applicant, as he has withdrawn. However, Linda Bien, present owner of the Market Basket store, was pursuing the request for rezone. Mayor McPhee and Councilman Lemon removed themselves from the Council Chambers on an appearance of fairness. Mayor Pro Tem Hordyk opened the public hearing at 7:36 P.M. Craig Miller, representing Linda Bien, owner, went through the steps bringing the application before the Council, stating the reason for the application is to allow expansion of the particular use on the property. Mr. Miller noted for the Council that the uses within the CSD -N Zone are very limited and the -2- 1422 CITY COUNCIL MEETING September 5, 1989 request for the rezone is only to expand within the scope of the permitted uses. There is no intention to do anything more. The application is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; the request is only for two lots; and the purpose of the CSD -N Zone is to serve those locally related needs. He submitted a petition to the Council in support of the rezone request. In closing, he urged the Council to approve the request. Councilman Hallett asked Craig Miller if the Market Basket was sold and a 7 -11 store was put in, would that be permissible? Mr. Miller stated that is a permitted use. Councilman Sargent expressed her concern and sympathized with the situation. However, she felt it was important to protect the neighborhood. Council discussed with Craig Miller the possibility of the application for a Conditional Use Permit as opposed to a rezone request. Ursula Newsham, 719 East llth Street, representing most of the elderly neighbors surrounding the Market Basket property, spoke in opposition to the request, citing lack of a buffer zone and alley access. She urged the Council vote against the request. Carl D. Waters, 704 Whidby, spoke in support of the request, stating the applicant was only trying to better her store. Bruce Newsham, 719 East llth Street, spoke in opposition to the rezone request. Phil Mesibov, 101 East 13th Street, voiced his concern about other types of activities which could take place if the Council did grant the rezone request, such as cigarettes and liquor influence upon children, and a parking lot which would encourage loitering of teen -agers and other youths. Mayor Pro Tem Hordyk closed the public hearing at 8:03 P.M. Council and staff discussed the request further with Planning Commission Chairman Cornell, as well as the option to apply for a Conditional Use Permit. Mayor Pro Tem Hordyk pointed out that the Council should only act upon what the request is before them, which is a rezone and to not deviate from that issue. Following further discussion, Councilman Sargent moved to concur with the Planning Commission's recommendation to deny the request, citing the following findings of fact: (A) Subsequent to public testimony, the possible permitted uses allowed in the CSD -N, Neighborhood Commercial Shopping District, could adversely impact the character of the surrounding neighborhood and are not in the interests of the surrounding property owners; and (B) The location of the property relative to the surrounding land uses is such that buffering is not available as a means of mitigating the impacts of the commercial uses upon the surrounding residential properties. Councilman Ostrowski seconded the motion. Councilman Gabriel stated he would be in opposition to the motion because the CSD -N Zone fits the request as does the Comprehensive Plan, and in his opinion, if the Council did not want to have a CSD -N Zone, then they should remove it from the Zoning Ordinance. Councilman Hallett concurred with Councilman Gabriel's comment. On call for the question, the motion carried, with Councilmen Hallett and Gabriel voting "No Mayor McPhee and Councilman Lemon returned to the Council Chambers at 8:15 P.M. 3. Consideration of Resolution Setting a Public Hearing for Street Vacation Reouest STV- 89(09)7 Port Angeles School District 4121 Portion of 8/9 Alley East of "C" Street Mayor McPhee read the Resolution by title, entitled RESOLUTION NO. 22 -89 -3- A RESOLUTION of the City of Port Angeles setting a hearing date for a petition to vacate a portion of the 8/9 alley in Block 259, TPA. A RESOLUTION of the City Council of the City of Port Angeles, Washington, declaring the existence of a public nuisance and requiring the elimination of such. 1423 CITY COUNCIL MEETING September 5, 1989 Councilman Hallett moved to pass the Resolution as read by title. Councilman Sargent seconded and the motion carried. The hearing date was set for October 3, 1989. 4. Consideration of Resolution for Abatement of Public Nuisances Mayor McPhee read the Resolution by title, entitled RESOLUTION NO. 23 -89 Councilman Hordyk moved to pass the Resolution as read by title. Councilman Sargent seconded and the motion carried unanimously. 5. Discussion of City's Contribution to L.I.F.T. Home Program George Pettit George Pettit proposed that the Council reconsider its funding of $2,500 to the DWI Task Force L.I.F.T. Home Program, as it was his opinion that this program sent a counter productive message. He felt that some other solution should be found to the problem of DWI. He also questioned the rate of repetition in the program; who are the users who are taking advantage of the rides home? After speaking to Jim Borte of the DWI Task Force, Mr. Pettit found there were no records being kept of the riders. He again requested the Council reconsider their contribution. He also stated he would be willing to serve on a committee to find some other solution to the problem. In closing, he stated in his opinion, this program should be supported by the liquor industry and not the taxpayers. Councilman Gabriel agreed that the Council is encouraging irresponsibility by contributing money to the program. Councilman Gabriel moved to rescind the earlier approval of the appropriation and to form a committee to find another solution. Councilman Hallett seconded. Councilman Hordyk spoke in opposition, stating if the Council were to rescind the funding without a solution, then people will be driving inebriated. Councilman Sargent pointed out that the money is only supplementing the program. Councilman Gabriel stated the program probably could run another five or six months without the City's funding. Mayor McPhee stated this is a daring solution to a terrible problem and for the Council-to withdraw the funding would only be a knee -jerk reaction. In funding this program, we are protecting our own families and lives of others who may be in danger of people who drive drunk. Councilman Hallett stated he was in favor of this filnding when it first came before the Council. After thinking about it, however, this should be the responsibility of the liquor industry and those people who supply the products and serve the people. Following further discussion, the question was called and the motion failed, with Councilmen Gabriel and Hallett voting "Aye BREAK Mayor McPhee recessed the meeting at 8:45 P.M. The meeting reconvened at 9:00. 6. Consideration of Revised Civil Service Rules and Regulations (Tabled at the August 1. 1989. meeting) Councilman Hallett moved to remove this item from the table for discussion. Councilman Gabriel seconded and the motion carried unanimously. Mayor McPhee read the Resolution by title, entitled -4- 1424 CITY COUNCIL MEETING September 5, 1989 RESOLUTION NO. 24 -89 A RESOLUTION of the City Council of the City of Port Angeles adopting rules of the Civil Service Commission. Councilman Hallett moved to pass the Resolution as read by title. Councilman Ostrowski seconded. Councilman Hordyk stated he would be opposed to several points of the proposed Civil Service Rules, stating he had met with the administration and rank and file of the Police and Fire Departments. He felt he could speak for the majority of the people in both Departments as they are the ones who are most affected by these Rules. The biggest concern was the Chief Examiner being the Personnel Manager, mainly because this person is the same one who sits across the table during negotiation of contracts. He proposed to change that the Chairman of the Civil Service Commission be the Chief Examiner and offered that as an amendment to the motion. Councilman Lemon seconded the amendment. Councilman Hallett stated one of the reasons the Ordinance was changed was to eliminate any potential conflict of interest arising out of supervisor/ subordinate relationships between the Commission and the Chief Examiner, and although he could understand the concerns of Councilman Hordyk, he believed there might be another way. He then directed a question to staff regarding how this is handled in other cities. Bob Coons, Personnel Manager, addressed the question, stating many other cities use the same form of governing as the City of Port Angeles. He suggested one alternative the Council may consider is during promotional exams to remove himself as a rater in the process and to be only a monitor, having only outside people in the promotional exams. Councilman Hordyk also stated that the rank and file had no problem with the Rule of Three on entry level only; however, the Rule of One would be their preference on promotions. He also heard from the Police Department that they were undermanned and needed additional people. However, this is another subject. He suggested these items be changed in the document before any action is taken by the Council. Councilman Lemon asked why the probationary period was extended from six months to twelve months. Chief Cleland responded that under State law, within the first fifteen months of the date of hire, the City must send the officers to a State certified academy, which requires approximately three months. Upon returning, they attend local training for another three months. Therefore, for the first six months, the officer is in training and management does not have a chance to see whether that person will be able to do the job on his own. Fire Chief Glenn responded that firemen have to go through EMT training, which often is not available at the time of their hire. Barney`Caine, 3518 Galaxy Place, Civil Service Commissioner, felt there was a misunderstanding between the legislative function of the City Council and the rule making power of the Commission. He stated the amendment proposed by Councilman Hordyk is appropriate, but it is covered in the Ordinance, which make the Rules and Regulation inferior to the Ordinance. "Therefore, no changes can be made to the Rules and Regulations without making changes to the Ordinance. He urged that the Council adopt the Rules and Regulations and suggested they meet with the Commissioners to discuss these rules if they so desired. Mayor McPhee asked Attorney Knutson whether the Rules were in accordance with State law. Attorney Knutson responded that the Rules are consistent with the City Ordinance and he agreed with Mr. Caine that if the Council were to make significant changes in the Rules, then they must change the City Ordinance. The Ordinance and the Rules together, in his opinion, were consistent with State law. They are within substantial compliance with the statutes. Councilman Hordyk withdrew his amendment; Councilman Lemon withdrew his second. Councilman Sargent stated she did not feel the Council could make a fair and reasonable decision without talking to all parties involved. Talking only to wage employees does not give a complete story. She had spoken to two Civil Service Commissioners, the Police and Fire Chief, and also to a Policeman and a Fireman, and her conclusion was that the Rules and Regulations, as written, best suit the needs of the City, and the Rule of Three would best suit the -5- City's needs. However, she would consider looking at an alternative Chief Examiner. Councilman Hallett stated the Council should adopt the Rules and Regulations to get the Rules consistent with the Ordinance and at a subsequent time, change the Ordinance, if that is the direction of the Council. He thanked Personnel Manager Coons and the Civil Service Commission for the job well done on the Rules and Regulations. Councilman Gabriel spoke in support of the Rule of Three for promotions. Following further discussion, the question was called, and the motion carried, with Councilmen Lemon and Hordyk and Mayor McPhee voting "No 7. City Council Consideration of Real Estate Committee's Recommendation on Clevenger's Request Street Vacation Compensation The issue before the Council is the reconsideration of the amount of compensation to be paid to the City for the vacation of a portion of Cherry Street just north of Second Street. This issue came before the Council in March, 1989, when the Council adopted Ordinance 2530 approving the vacation and setting the compensation at $9,261. However, one of the applicants, Mr. Clevenger, wrote a letter to the Council requesting that the compensation be lowered. After review by the Real Estate Committee, the recommendation was made that the compensation be lowered to $7,243. Councilman Sargent moved to reduce the compensation from $9,261 to $7,243. Councilman Lemon seconded. Councilman Sargent stated the Real Estate Committee had met and upon examining the new information and the new tax base, a compromise offer had been made. The vote was called and the motion carried unanimously. Attorney Knutson stated the Council needed to adopt an Ordinance which would amend the compensation amount. Mayor McPhee read the Ordinance by title, entitled ORDINANCE NO. 2543 AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles amending Section 2 of Ordinance 2530, relating to vacation of a portion of Cherry Street south of the 1/2 alley. Councilman Hallett moved to adopt the Ordinance as read by title and to set the compensation amount at $7,243. Councilman Lemon seconded and the motion carried unanimously. 8. Consideration of Final Acceptance and Final Payment to Lakeside Industries For Golf Course Road Proiect Councilman Sargent moved to concur with the recommendation of the Public Works Department that the City of Port Angeles approve and accept the work performed; to authorize final payment; and to release the retainage amount. Councilman Hallett seconded and the motion carried unanimously. 9. Request for Approval of an Easement Revision (Longwell) -6- 1425 CITY COUNCIL MEETING September 5, 1989 Councilman Hallett moved to authorize the Mayor to execute the appropriate documents to void the City of Port Angeles' interest in the Brookbanks' easement across Lot 26, Block 1, of the Illinois Addition, which was granted to the City on April 20, 1989, and that this easement shall not be void until after the Light Department has relocated the service pole. Councilman Sargent seconded and the motion carried unanimously. 10. Consideration of Approach to Complying with Underground Storage Tank Reauirements Councilman Sargent moved to authorize staff to pursue and schedule the coordinated removal of all City -owned underground storage tanks, in accordance with the steps as itemized: (1) To notify EPA of the City's intention to remove 1426 CITY COUNCIL MEETING September 5, 1989 the tanks; (2) Obtain engineering assistance for soil testing and the coordinated and scheduled removal process; engineering to include an estimate for site replacement consideration by Council; (3) Implement the fuel contract provision for obtaining fuel direct from vendor -owned sites; stop further product deliveries to City tanks and deplete tank inventories; devise a supplemental fueling method for that equipment which cannot use vendor sites (i.e., Landfill equipment); and make recommendations to the Council on long- term solutions; (4) Report progress to Council to include (A) any significant obstacles to the orderly removal of all current City tanks; (B) engineering findings and estimates, to include the most feasible plan for any future City owned UST facilities. Councilman Hallett seconded. Following discussion, the question was called and the motion carried unanimously. It now being past 10:00 P.M., Councilman Hallett moved to continue the items as listed on the Agenda. Councilman Sargent seconded and the motion carried unanimously. 11. Consideration of Agreement with Humane Society Kathryn Holl, 609 East llth Street, stated she agrees with the terms and conditions of the agreement, with the exception that the Humane Society should be more accessible to the public and more financially accountable to its members. She submitted to the Council a petition expressing support for some of the items they believe should be in the contract: The Society Director shall not serve a dual role as chief administrator and president of the Board of Directors; the Society will make available to any members correct and adequate records of accounts and finances; record of members and minutes of the proceedings of the members and the Board; and operational hours should include time in the evening and week -ends to allow working people to adopt or claim pets. The group that she represents for concerned citizens, feel that the Humane Society could better serve the public by making its hours more accessible to all working people. Current hours do not allow people whose animals have been picked up over the week -end to claim them until the following Monday. Regarding financial responsibility, to the group's knowledge, the Humane Society has not had any recent audit. It is also their understanding that the Humane Society has accumulated in excess of $75,000 from donations and memberships, which is being held in a savings account, with no plan or budget for its usage. Because of this, she believed the City should mandate a yearly audit to assure financial accountability. Therefore, the contract should include accessible hours and an audit to ensure financial accountability. Director of Administrative Services Wolfe responded that staff had contacted the Humane Society after the August 15th meeting regarding extended hours. The response from the Humane Society was they cannot do that with the current funding levels. However, they were willing to open the facility at any time if someone were to call them. Regarding the audit, the contract contains language which is similar to language in other City contracts which speaks to the City's ability to do an audit for the City's contribution. Therefore, we can look at any records they may have. Mayor McPhee suggested these issues be brought before the Humane Society by Kathryn Holl and her group. Councilman Hallett asked Ms. Holl if the Humane Society published that they were available on Saturday for pick -up of impounded pets, would that suit the needs of the citizens' group. Ms. Holl stated that would help, as far as accessible hours are concerned. Bob Bends spoke in support of the agreement; however, he felt one of the biggest problems has to do with the records of the association that have not been made available to the public. He urged that the City agreement contain provisions that records be made available, as well as an expenditure budget where and how these funds are going to be spent and an audit trail established. Councilman Hordyk stated that he talked to a Society member who is currently on a committee which is addressing the issues brought forth, and although they have not come to any conclusions, when they do, those conclusions will be published. Councilman Hordyk then moved that the Council approve the terms and conditions of the agreement and to authorize the Mayor to sign the agreement and to set the compensation at $2,823.75 per month. Councilman Ostrowski seconded. Councilman Lemon expressed his concern, stating he wanted some accountability for the financial issues. Councilman Lemon then offered a friendly amendment that the audit be done on the books of the Humane Society and the accountability and to look at the expenditures of where the funds are going. Councilman Hordyk was not agreeable to the amendment, stating the agreement itself outlines that provision and it should only be a direction to staff to do this. Councilman Hallett offered a substitute motion to make the agreement conditioned upon receipt of an acceptability audit. Councilman Lemon seconded. The amendment was voted on and carried, with Councilmen Hordyk and Sargent voting "No Councilman Hordyk spoke in opposition to the amended motion, as he believed this information was available to the Council at budget time and he was satisfied with it at that time, and he still is satisfied. Councilman Sargent stated the reason she was in opposition to the amendment is that the best way to handle this issue is to approve the agreement and then to instruct staff to perform an audit. Upon vote of the main motion, the motion carried, with Councilmen Hordyk and Sargent voting "No 12. Request for Approval of Sublease Between Port of Port Angeles and Salmon Club Bill Oliver, Port of Port Angeles, explained to the Council the reason for the request from the Port for the sublease. The sublease is for an area of Ediz Hook for purposes of maintaining the Ediz Hook boat ramp. Councilman Lemon moved to recommend approval of the sublease between the Port of Port Angeles and the Salmon Club and authorize the Mayor to sign. Councilman Gabriel seconded and the motion carried unanimously. 13. Consideration of Petition to Rename Street West 13th to Samara Drive The Council had received a petition from residents who are requesting the change. Mayor McPhee read the Ordinance by title, entitled ORDINANCE NO. 2544 AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles changing the name of a City Street. 1427 CITY COUNCIL MEETING September 5, 1989 Councilman Gabriel moved to adopt the Ordinance as read by title. Councilman Lemon seconded and the motion carried unanimously. 14. Consideration of Water Contract with Clallam County PUD ¥l Councilman Hallett moved to authorize the Mayor to sign the contract with Clallam County PUD #1 for water. Councilman Hordyk seconded. Councilman Lemon asked why there had been no rate increase on this contract since 1981 for the cost of water service. Director of Administrative Services Wolfe explained that this contract is based on the cost of service study done in 1984 and at that time, the study indicated the cost of service was 20K. per 100 cubic feet and that is what the City is using. Currently, the residential water rates are also based on that study, pointing out there has not been a change in residential water rates since that time, with the exception of summer water rates, which lowers the cost. Councilman Hallett stated this is a little less than the City pays; however, there is no maintenance to maintain the lines that are underground and the reservoirs. Mayor McPhee stated this has presented some difficulty in pressure, due to the excessive draw -down on our water. -8- 1428 CITY COUNCIL MEETING September 5, 1989 Director of Public Works Pittis stated the majority of the changes in the contract are to encourage and to seek relief through the PUD for them to use other sources whenever possible so the City's service levels are protected. Following further discussion, the question was called and the motion carried. 15. Consideration of Extension of Olvmnic Disposal Landfill Recycling Contract Councilman Hordyk moved that the Council authorize the extension of the contract for recycling at the Landfill to Olympic Disposal. Councilman Gabriel seconded. Councilman Sargent mentioned that she discussed the issue with the Public Works Department and expressed her concern about the condition of the recycling area at the Landfill, as she felt the City should make this area more attractive to people who want to recycle. Director of Public Works Pittis stated the current budget contains funds for the Department to improve the recycling area and they have been working on this currently. On call for the question, the motion carried unanimously. 16. Selection of Interview Dates for People Expressing Interest in the "Citizen At Large" Position on the Utility Advisory Committee Interview dates were set for 6 P.M. on September 19, 1989. Councilman Hordyk stated he would be leaving the Council as soon as the general election is certified and expressed his interest in serving on the Committee, but stated he would be out of town for the next two meetings and unable to interview. 17. Request to Set Utility Advisory Committee (UAC) Meeting to Discuss Utility Service Area and Burton Water Service A meeting date for the Utility Advisory Committee was set for September 12, 1989, at 8:00 A.M. 18. Proclamation CONSTITUTION WEEK, Mayor McPhee proclaimed the week of September 17th through 23rd as Constitution Week and September 17th as Citizenship Day. 19. Reauest for Approval of Civil Service Interview Board for Firefighters, Councilman Sargent moved to approve the interview board for entry level Firefighter /EMT, consisting of Sandra Asbe, Human Resources Assistant; John Asenbacher, Transportation Supervisor for Port Angeles School District; and Frank Grall, Battalion Chief, City of Auburn Fire Department. Councilman Hallett'seconded and the motion carried unanimously. 20. Medic I Service Mayor McPhee Mayor McPhee requested that staff provide him with an explanation of the Council- established policy for service levels on mutual aid. Manager Flodstrom stated the question is what has the Council established as the City's policy for Medic I service outside the corporate City limits of the City of Port Angeles. He made reference to the minutes of the November 20, 1984, City Council meeting whereas the staff had recommended, and the Council had concurred, to accept the recommendation that the City Council encourage both Fire Districts 2 and 4 to work with the City, the County, and the Hospital, to develop a comprehensive district -wide advanced life support program. In the interim, the City should not expand its Medic I program to serve areas outside the City of Port Angeles, except for service to the United States Coast Guard Air Station on Ediz Hook and school facilities of Port Angeles School District #121 outside the corporate City limits. This would include Fairview, Roosevelt Middle School, Monroe Elementary School, and Dry Creek. He went further in depth with the reading of the minutes of that meeting and stated as a result the motion made was to not provide Medic I services outside the City limits. Extensive discussion between District 2, 4, the City of Port Angeles, and Olympic Memorial Hospital followed, which prompted an amendment to the mutual aid agreement between the City of Port Angeles and Fire District 2 and a one- -9-
