Councilman Sargent moved to accept and place on file the minutes of the special meeting of August 31, 1988. Councilman Lemon seconded and the motion carried. V NOMINATION AND SELECTION OF CITIZEN TO FILL COUNCIL VACANCY Carl Alexander, 1712 West Fifth Street, addressed the Council, requesting they accept public input on the matter before the nomination process. Mayor McPhee posed a question to the audience asking how many would like to address the issue. Del Price, The Chronicle, replied there was no public hearing announced and he did not feel this was proper. Councilman Lemon stated he did not feel it was appropriate. -1- 1107 CITY COUNCIL MEETING September 6, 1988 Mayor McPhee then asked Attorney Knutson if he felt there was any problem with Council accepting input. Attorney Knutson replied the City Council does have a number of different types of issues where it is required by law to hold public hearings and to give legal notice for those issues. However, in this particular case, there is no requirement; therefore, the Council has complete discretion. Mayor McPhee asked the Council if there was any one Councilperson who objected to taking additional input. Councilman Sargent stated she had to agree with Mr. Price, as there was no public announcement and other people may have wanted to give their input if they had been so notified. Councilman Stamon stated this was probably one of the most important decisions this Council is to make, at least for the next several years. Further, she stated, it has been a practice in the past to allow members of the public to provide input on items on the agenda that are not necessarily identified as public hearings. She felt if there were people in the audience who wished to speak, Council then had an obligation to listen to them, particularly because Council is about to elect the person who will be representing them for the next year and a half. Councilman Stamon then moved to accept public input on this issue. Councilman Hallett seconded for purposes of discussion. Councilman Sargent reiterated her feelings, stating she is open any day of the week to input from the taxpayers and they have had time to do this. There was no public meeting announced, and she felt it was unfair to those people who perhaps are not here, or even those who are, that are not prepared to make a statement, to take input from one or two who have. On call for the question, Councilmen Hallett, Stamon and Mayor McPhee voted "Aye Councilmen Gabriel, Lemon and Sargent voted "No The motion failed, due to the tie vote. Councilman Hallett moved that each Councilman name three individuals that he or she may feel comfortable with, prior to nominations. Councilman Stamon seconded for purposes of discussion. Councilman Hallett, in speaking to his motion, stated he felt this would help Council with the process and to bring the Council together and focus on candidates that are acceptable to the majority of the Council, in order for Council to get on with the business of representing the community. He stated there were fourteen good candidates for the position, and did not feel this would water down the effect at all, as he personally could not choose only one candidate. Counc.jlman Lemon stated he could nominate only one, after spending time in the interviews and listening to the tapes again, and after filtering the applicants down, has come to a point of nominating only one. Councilman Gabriel did not feel it was necetssary to appoint three candidates. He felt each Councilmember should be able to nominate one and to proceed with discussions. Councilman Sargent agreed they had fourteen good applicants and felt even narrowing it down to three would be difficult, and preferred the nomination of one. Mayor McPhee stated the Council was elected to make decisions and was opposed to the motion. Councilman Hallett then clarified his motion, stating the three nominees meant each Councilman putting forth maybe a person he or she wanted to nominate, as well as two other names that may be acceptable. This would allow for Councilmembers to see the more preferable candidates and would bring the matter to a win -win situation. Councilman Lemon called for the question. Councilmen Hallett, Stamon and Mayor McPhee voted "Aye with Councilmen Lemon, Sargent and Gabriel voting "No The motion failed. -2- 1108 CITY COUNCIL MEETING September 6, 1988 Mayor McPhee directed Clerk Maike to call for the nominations. The following nominations were made: Councilman Gabriel nominated John Hordyk. Councilman Hallett nominated Dick Wight. Councilman Lemon nominated John Hordyk. Mayor McPhee nominated Sam Haguewood. Councilman Sargent nominated William Anabel. Councilman Stamon nominated Prosper Ostrowski. Mayor McPhee then directed Clerk Maike to receive votes by roll call of the Council. Ballot One: Councilman Gabriel voted for John Hordyk. Councilman Hallett voted for Dick Wight. Councilman Lemon voted for John Hordyk. Mayor McPhee voted for John Hordyk. Councilman Sargent voted for William Anabel. Councilman Stamon voted for Prosper Ostrowski. There being no majority vote for one candidate, Mayor McPhee reminded Council of the full agenda and directed the Clerk to take one more vote. Councilman Stamon interjected, stating she objected to taking only one more vote, as she felt Council should make an honest attempt to get the job done and having two short votes was not satisfactory, in her view. Councilman Sargent stated she felt it was very important the Council make this choice, especially with the Goals and Objectives to be discussed the rest of the week. She felt Council needed the last member on board and that Council should vote as many times as it would take. Councilman Gabriel asked any of the Councilmembers if they had any suggestions on how to resolve the issue. Councilman Hallett suggested Council give names of any of the other candidates which may be acceptable as a second or third choice, as he did not feel they should get on with any other items on the agenda until this was accomplished. Councilman Gabriel suggested that each one of the Councilmembers give the reasons why they made the decision for the person they nominated. Mayor McPhee called for another ballot. Ballot Two: Councilman Gabriel voted for John Hordyk. Councilman Hallett voted for Prosper Ostrowski. Councilman Lemon voted for John Hordyk. Mayor McPhee voted for John Hordyk. Councilman Sargent voted for Dick Wight. Councilman Stamon voted for Prosper Ostrowski. -3- Council then proceeded to give a brief review of why they nominated the person they did. Councilman Hallett asked Mayor McPhee if any of the three nominees (Anabel, Ostrowski and Wight) would be acceptable to him to fill the Council vacancy. Mayor McPhee replied yes, they would be acceptable. But is that who we need now, with our goals and budget coming up? He doubted it. Councilman Hallett stated the Mayor had indicated that he, Mayor McPhee, preferred a candidate with a good track record and experience, which Prosper Ostrowski does have. Further, Councilman Hallett stated, John Hordyk, if appointed, would be taking the seat of the person who defeated him two and one -half years ago, which he felt was a little ironic. He felt it was important to have someone come on board with a fresh perspective. After further discussion, another ballot was called for. Ballot Three: Councilman Gabriel voted for John Hordyk. Councilman Hallett voted for Prosper Ostrowski. Councilman Lemon voted for John Hordyk. Mayor McPhee voted for John Hordyk. Councilman Sargent voted for Prosper Ostrowski. Councilman Stamon voted for Prosper Ostrowski. 1109 CITY COUNCIL MEETING September 6, 1988 Councilman Gabriel stated that he, as a Councilman, would like to see harmony on the Council, as would the general public. The seat the Council is filling was Al Hesla's and Mr. Hesla was a good Councilman. He was not outspoken, and the problems with disharmony are on this Council, and Councilman Gabriel was not going to pick someone just because he liked him. This is not a popularity contest. His decision is based upon the want and need to accomplish things. Councilman Stamon then moved to take comments from the public. Councilman Hallett seconded and the motion carried unanimously. Jane Schefler, applicant for the Council vacancy, stated during the time that she had applied for the Council vacancy, many people had approached her and the feeling that she received from those people is that the community is tired of the disharmony and they would be very disappointed if someone from the past was appointed. They would like to see a fresh face, a fresh perspective, and someone who is willing to see the long -term solutions. She then urged the Council to vote for someone who was willing to bring that to the Council, rather than someone who has served on the Council in the past. Richard French, 319 West Seventh Street, also a candidate for the Council vacancy as well as running in the last election, stated that he was a personal friend of Prosper Ostrowski and that Mr. Ostrowski had made the statement that he has never attended a Council meeting. Mr. French has faithfully attended Council meetings and he felt that Mr. Ostrowski should not be considered at this time, but should maybe run for office during the next election. Lorraine Ross, 418 East Front Street, urged the Council to vote for John Hordyk because in the eight years of serving with Mr. Hordyk on the Council there was harmony on that Council at least 90% of the time. She stated Mr. Hordyk was a team player; he works hard for the City of Port Angeles; and she urged Council's support. Carl Alexander, 1712 West Fifth Street, urged the Council to make the decision and not put the entire burden of the process on the Mayor, stating that each person on the Council represented thousands of people in the City and if only one person was to make that appointment, then thousands of peoples' voices would not be heard. Further, he stated he did not believe anyone in the last election should be considered. He felt it would be not only ironic but moronic to appoint the same person who was defeated in the election that put Al Hesla on the Council. He spoke in support of Prosper Ostrowski. Councilman Gabriel questioned Mr. Alexander as to his honest feelings if any one of the fourteen candidates could put a stop to the disharmony on the Council. Mr. Alexander replied that certain of the candidates would have more of a chance than others; however the old familiar face everyone would see as being on one side, the new face at least can be convinced to be on your side, no matter which side you are on. Dave Brewer, 111 East 13th Street, echoed Mr. Alexander's comments; however, he did commend Council's willingness to sit and do its job of electing the new official. Mr. Brewer replied that the old face was defeated at the polls and the public spoke. It boggles his mind, however, that the Council would consider taking someone the public defeated and saying, "you've got him again Hattie Berglund, 1834 West Seventh Street, agreed with the comments made by Mr. Alexander and Mr. Brewer. She felt it was urgent for Council to agree on a candidate and not an appointment made by the Mayor. She stated she -4- 1110 CITY COUNCIL MEETING September 6, 1988 could accept Mr. Ostrowski without reservations, and urged Council to not put a candidate on that was defeated. Jim Cammack, 3752 Hill Circle, directed two comments toward the candidates being considered, one being negative, one positive. He stated he was on the Committee for Site Evaluation for City Hall with Mr. Hordyk and questions were raised in the room tonight and raised in the press as to some of the Committees Mr. Hordyk has said he has been seated on. Mr. Cammack stated during this process, he found some of the statements Mr. Hordyk had made to be inconsistent. Regarding Mr. Ostrowski, he felt him to be a strong family man and a good candidate, as he has no extra baggage or any particular axe to grind. He stated Council had a good candidate. He urged them to take his experience and use it. Larry Leonard, 1030 Olympus Avenue, stated he did not believe any one person could change the disharmony on the Council, as long as some of the members were still serving, and did not believe this to be a viable reason to elect any of the candidates. He spoke in support of John Hordyk. Craig Whalley, 1000 Mount Pleasant Road, member of the Downtown Association and also on the Sign Ordinance Review Committee, stated when the first Sign Ordinance Review Committee met, Mr. Hordyk was present. Mr. Hordyk had come to speak against the Ordinance. However, Mr. Whalley pointed out that Mr. Hordyk was on the Council when the Ordinance was passed. He had explained his discrepancies with the Ordinance was because he had not read the Ordinance at the time it was written. Mr. Whalley further stated this is the man who has been touted as bringing experience and good sense to the Council. He stated the present Council is the laughing -stock of the City and if they did not start working together, they would be doing serious harm to the community. Frank Feeley, 113 West Seventh Street, spoke in support of John Hordyk, who he has known all his life, stating he is a man of the highest integrity, and urged Council to vote him in. Further, in regards to not appointing a candidate who had been defeated at the polls, he pointed out that Mayor Whidden was defeated and then appointed. Werner Quast, 3800 Park Knoll, addressed the Council, stating he would like to correct some impressions made. He gave a brief overview of some of the events that had taken place while he was on the Council at the time that Mr. Hordyk was also serving, stating in 1980, when he was appointed, he had found Mr. Hordyk, Mr. Haguewood and Mrs. Ross, then Councilmembers, had been constantly violating the Open Public Meetings Act by holding executive sessions prior to the regular Council meetings, which were not recorded, but the railroad plan for the following Council meeting was laid out. He pointed out to the Councilmembers at that time that they were in violation of that Act and they were subject to fines. That practice stopped. Dr. Quast also pointed out the Mayor had nominated Mr. Haguewood, who is currently in litigation with the City, and he felt if someone is in litigation with the City, then that person simply cannot serve on the Council. As for Mr. Hordyk, he felt Mr. Hordyk sometimes speaks very authoritatively without knowing the facts. He did not feel, frankly, that Mr. Hordyk was the appropriate choice and spoke in favor of Prosper Ostrowski as the elected candidate. Dick Wight, candidate for the Council vacancy, spoke in favor of good government and supported the voting in of Prosper Ostrowski, as he felt Mr. Ostrowski to be the least controversial, the most experienced, and he does not bring anything to the Council that they may find hard to swallow. Donald E. Rudolph, 1013 East Third Street, stated that he was not happy to see the Council squabbling as they had been, and urged them to get on with the business of the City. He urged Council to get their heads together and get on the ball. Councilman Hallett stated that from the testimony and response of the audience, there certainly is a preferred choice. Further, as indicated initially, he has three candidates, any of which would be comfortable with him. He has changed his vote and others have too, and they only needed one more person to go along with what the public is saying tonight, and he hoped that Mayor McPhee would step into the leadership position and respond. -5- Ballot Four: Mayor McPhee responded that twelve people have stood up and spoken and that there are 17,000 people in the City of Port Angeles, and it is not obvious, therefore, what the people of Port Angeles want. The people of Port Angeles spoke in the election; they did not speak tonight. Only a few people spoke tonight. Kenneth A. Rose, 3609 Galaxy Place, responded that he did not come prepared to speak tonight, nor had he intended to speak until the Mayor had taken the floor again, but the Mayor had asked for the public's input and their opinions and it was obvious what the feelings of the group were. He did not believe the Mayor should just sit there and completely ignore the feelings of the group. Gilbert Michael, 616 East Tenth Street, stated he has never appreciated past Councilmembers criticizing other Councilmembers, but he questioned who was on the City Council when the money was appropriated and this City Hall building was bond issued and the public was denied the right to vote for the bond issue; the public should be heard, and it appeared to him that under the past Council the public was not very well heard. He stated the public was railroaded on many issues. Jewel VanOss, 1019 East Fourth Street, stated she was very tired of hearing about the City Hall issue. She felt everyone needed to recognize and realize it was the foresight and planning of the City staff plus the past City Council that made it possible to build the City Hall without a vote and raising of the taxes. She also urged the City Council get on with their business and appoint a member who they could work with. C. L. Duncan, 1219 East Fourth Street, stated he did not understand why we need an experienced person now, when the members who are voting for experienced members are only recently in office. Paul Cronauer, 1936 West Fifth Street, stated he believed the new Council- members were elected with a mandate. He stated we need a strong Council, one which cooperates and works together, and believed it was up to the Council to make that decision. He believed Councilmembers should look inside themselves to pick the candidate who could serve everyone in the best interests of the City. Councilman Sargent stated when she campaigned in the fall, she campaigned to listen to the people, as she felt they had not been listened to. She stated she has listened to them, both here and all around town, since Council has been interviewing candidates, and the people want a Council appointment. She stated it was obvious to her who the appointment would be if it was up to Mayor McPhee. She asked Mayor McPhee if perhaps there was another name already nominated the Council could find consensus with, some kind of compromise. She stated she was willing to look at some other nominees that are before them. She suggested having another vote and coming up with a name that at least four of them could agree on. She felt it would be very foolish of Council to ignore the obvious feelings of the public that have been displayed, not only here tonight, but in the past few weeks, that it is imperative for this Council to appoint someone as a Council and not as one person. Mayor McPhee directed Clerk Maike to receive another ballot. Councilman Gabriel voted for John Hordyk. Councilman Hallett voted for Prosper Ostrowski. Councilman Lemon voted for John Hordyk. Mayor McPhee voted for Sam Haguewood. Councilman Sargent voted for Prosper Ostrowski. Councilman Stamon voted for William Anabel. Mayor McPhee then directed Clerk Maike to receive another ballot. Ballot Five: Councilman Gabriel voted for John Hordyk. Councilman Hallett voted for Prosper Ostrowski. Councilman Lemon voted for John Hordyk. Mayor McPhee voted for Sam Haguewood. -6- CITY COUNCIL MEETING September 6, 1988 1112 CITY COUNCIL MEETING September 6, 1988 Councilman Sargent voted for William Anabel. Councilman Stamon voted for William Anabel. Mayor McPhee called for ballot six. Ballot Six: Councilman Gabriel voted for John Hordyk. Councilman Hallett voted for William Anabel. Councilman Lemon voted for John Hordyk. Mayor McPhee voted for John Hordyk. Councilman Sargent voted for William Anabel. Councilman Stamon voted for William Anabel. Mayor McPhee then commented to the Council that they are obviously not seeing a similar solution to the problem. He pointed out it was past 8:30 and they still had a full agenda. He suggested either staying on the one item or continue the item to a different date. He then directed a question to Attorney Knutson asking if it was a problem if the majority of the Council agrees or chooses to discuss this issue at the work session for the Goals and Objectives, and how much notice was needed. Attorney Knutson replied 24 hours is needed so Council could discuss this issue at the second meeting on Goals and Objectives, which would be September 8, 1988, but not on the one the following evening. Councilman Hallett stated there were three Councilmembers who were going back and forth between three candidates, trying to find a compromise, and three Councilmembers who are stuck on one candidate. Mayor McPhee called Councilman Hallett out of order and pointed out that there are three Councilmembers who have alternated between two candidates. Councilman Hallett replied that he was trying to indicate that three Councilmembers wanted to compromise; however two of the three candidates discussed did not agree with his position on some issues, but that was beside the point, and he respects their views. He felt three Councilmembers were putting forth a willingness to compromise and stated that was at least what one other Councilmember needed to do. He stated further a reasonable person ought to conclude from among the four names being discussed at least one person ought to feel good about going with some other candidate. Councilman Lemon replied to Councilman Hallett's statement, saying that he keeps hearing there are two or three that are stuck on two candidates and asked Councilman Hallett concerning the other two applicants, if he was willing to bend and go in those directions. Councilman Hallett replied he has indicated that Mr. Ostrowski, Mr. Wight and Mr. Anabel of the five that were nominated, those were acceptable. However, the other two were not. Councilman Lemon asked if that was true for the remaining members of the Council. Councilmen Stamon and Sargent stated that was the way they felt also. Councilman Lemon stated the problem he has is it has been dumped upon his, Councilman Gabriel's and Mayor McPhee's shoulders; that the other two are exempt, and after evaluating the candidates, he came up with John Hordyk because he believed there was a message in the last election and he was looking for a strong leader. Mayor McPhee asked Councilmembers Hallett, Sargent and Stamon if they would not accept Mr. Hordyk and Mr. Haguewood. All three stated that was correct, and suggested if there was going to be no movement at all, then it was pointless for Council to continue; further stating Council could, if the majority chooses, stay on the issue and fail to conduct the business or Council could conduct business, go home and think about the issue and discuss it at the September 8th meeting. Mayor McPhee then questioned Councilman Gabriel if he found Mr. Wight, Mr. Anabel, or Mr. Ostrowski unacceptable. Councilman Gabriel replied not necessarily, but he felt Mr. Hordyk would be a better candidate. -7- 1113 CITY COUNCIL MEETING September 6, 1988 Mayor McPhee posed the same question to Councilman Lemon. Councilman Lemon replied yes, they are strong candidates, but his choice is Mr. Hordyk. Mayor McPhee agreed with Councilman Lemon's comment, stating during an election Mr. Ostrowski, Mr. Anabel and Mr. Wight might well receive his support, but for what Council is looking for now, they would not be his choice. Councilman Gabriel asked Manager Flodstrom if during the last election under the Ordinance which limits the terms a Councilmember can run, did Mr. Hordyk have the option to run. Manager Flodstrom said that he did. Councilman Gabriel then questioned Attorney Knutson if the five people nominated tonight would be able to attend the meetings scheduled for the rest of the week. Attorney Knutson stated that was correct. Councilman Gabriel stated he would be more than willing to look into the issue further; however, he was not prepared to do so tonight and felt all the candidates should attend the Goals and Objectives meeting on the 7th. Councilman Stamon said Councilman Gabriel made the statement he feels Mr. Hordyk is the better candidate, but she personally feels Mr. Ostrowski is the better candidate. However, she is certainly willing, and has exhibited that willingness, to consider someone who is not her own personal favorite in an attempt to try and find a person who is acceptable to the majority of the Council, and if Councilman Gabriel is willing to reconsider, then she hoped that he would be able to do that at this point so that Council can get on with things and make an appointment. She felt it was unfair to ask five people to rearrange their schedules and come to a meeting that they probably did not anticipate attending, plus Council has well in excess of 100 people attending who have a vital and obviously driving interest, in what Council is undertaking. She felt it was unfair for Council to delay this process and she stated it was incomprehensible to her that Council could not reach an agreement on someone who is acceptable to the majority of the Council and she urged Council to continue balloting. Councilman Gabriel, in response to Councilman Stamon's statements, said that in the beginning of the process, he had seriously considered Sam Haguewood. However, he did not feel comfortable with Mr. Haguewood because the reason for him not running for re- election was because of ill health and in Councilman Gabriel's view, he also brings some excessive baggage, which he did not feel would be necessary. However, one of the reasons he feels so strongly about Mr. Hordyk is that he is very up- front, he will not stand for all the petty bickering, and Councilman Gabriel did not know of any candidate on the entire list who would stop the disharmony. He would prefer to get a candidate who would work to get something done, but he felt the disharmony would not stop until the next election. He stated while he was on the Council he preferred to get something done. Mayor McPhee reiterated, stating the disharmony on the Council was going to stop. Council may not well agree, but Council will no longer have the kind of conduct that has been seen in the past. Councilman Sargent said a good statement could be'lnade here tonight if four members of the Council could agree on one candidate. She then disagreed with Mayor McPhee's statement, stating what we are looking for is the Council to make an appointment. That is what Council wants. Further she stated she is willing to change her vote and that she was willing to go with any one of the other three and any one of those three should be given the chance to prove they are just as strong as anyone else and that they can make just as good decisions. Mayor McPhee then directed Clerk Maike to receive the seventh ballot. Ballot Seven: Councilman Gabriel voted for John Hordyk. Councilman Hallett voted for William Anabel. Councilman Lemon voted for John Hordyk. Mayor McPhee voted for Sam Haguewood. Councilman Sargent voted for William Anabel. Councilman Stamon voted for Dick Wight. -8- 1114 CITY COUNCIL MEETING September 6, 1988 Mayor McPhee pointed out to Council once again there was not a majority vote and asked if anyone on the Council would object to getting further input from the candidates at the meeting on Thursday, and to continue the voting on Thursday. Councilman Lemon then moved to continue the meeting to September 8, 1988, to accept further input from the candidates and continue the balloting. Councilman Gabriel seconded. John Hordyk addressed the Council and offered a suggestion that the issue be tabled and that the candidates nominated by the Council this evening meet in the conference room. Council can then continue with its agenda and see if the candidates could not work out a solution among themselves and then return to Council with an acceptable candidate. David Morris, 2520 South Laurel, addressed the Council, stating that Mr. Anabel was out of town through the weekend, due to some family problems. Mayor McPhee then stated Mr. Hordyk's suggestion could not be followed. Councilman Sargent was in favor of the motion. Councilman Stamon stated that the problem was Mr. Anabel was out of town and she did not feel it would be fair to preclude him. Councilman Hallett stated normally he would be in favor of a motion such as this; however, he felt Council has enough input from each member on the Council and enough input from the public, and he felt Council would be shirking its responsibility if they tried to meet again on another evening, especially in light of the fact that one candidate was not available. Councilman Stamon then called for the question. The motion was denied, with all Councilmembers voting "No Mayor McPhee then recessed the meeting for five minutes at 8:58 P.M. Councilman Stamon then moved to continue with the process and to cast another round of ballots. Councilman Hallett seconded. Councilman Stamon then clarified her motion to not just one round, but to continue with the balloting. Mayor McPhee commented that it was after 9:00 and there were 19 items ahead of the Council, including public hearings. Council has a lot of work ahead of it, and he felt Council could go for a few more days without making an appointment, and he was in favor of getting on with the City's business. On call for the question, the motion carried, with Councilmen Gabriel, Hallett, Sargent and Stamon voting "Aye and Councilman Lemon and Mayor McPhee voting "No Mayor McPhee then directed Clerk Maike to receive another ballot. Ballot Eight: Councilman Gabriel voted for John Hordyk. Councilman Hallett voted for Prosper Ostrowski. Councilman Lemon voted for Sam Haguewood. Mayor McPhee voted for Sam Haguewood. Councilman Sargent voted for Prosper Ostrowski. Councilman Stamon voted for Prosper Ostrowski. Councilman Gabriel stated that he was not in a position to change his mind at this time, and if this was the case, then he suggested proceeding with Council business and making this decision at the next Council meeting. Councilman Gabriel then moved to place this item on the agenda for the September 20th City Council meeting. Councilman Lemon seconded. Councilman Sargent reminded Council that they would be setting up their Goals and Objectives and it would be helpful if the new Councilman was seated before that time. -9- Councilman Hallett stated Council had a three -day weekend to consider this issue seriously and he did not know of any other new information that Council could receive that they did not already have. He then again urged the Councilmembers to take a leadership role and do the honorable thing and represent the view of the public. Councilman Stamon stated she was adamantly opposed to continuing this issue to the next meeting. After further discussion, Councilman Hallett once again brought up the suggestion if Council, out of the five candidates, could list their first three choices, then maybe they could find one candidate that is acceptable to at least four of them. That would help get Council off dead center. Mayor McPhee stated that because the local experience is important to him, because it is a local budget that they are doing and it is a local situation they are attending to, he does not have three candidates. Councilman Hallett asked him then did he have just two candidates? Mayor McPhee responded yes. Councilman Hallett then asked Mayor McPhee if it came down to an appointment, would the appointment be between Mr. Hordyk or Mr. Haguewood? Mayor McPhee responded yes. Councilman Hallett then questioned Councilman Gabriel if he had a second or third choice. Councilman Gabriel responded that he probably has four candidates he would seriously consider, but not tonight. Councilman Hallett asked Councilman Lemon the same question. Councilman Lemon stated no, because he had narrowed it down to just one candidate. Johnie Key, 1180 Dan Kelly Road, addressed the Council, suggesting that they change their voting order and that the Mayor pick someone who has not even been voted on. If the Mayor picked another candidate, Mr. Key said he would bet that they then would get a majority vote. After further discussion, the question was called and the motion was denied, with Councilmen Gabriel, Lemon and Mayor McPhee voting "Aye and Councilmen Hallett, Sargent and Stamon voting "No Councilman Lemon then moved to address this issue at the September 8th or September 9th special meeting. Councilman Gabriel seconded. Councilman Hallett made the comment that people who are on dead center do their homework and come prepared to make a decision on Thursday or Friday night. VI FINANCE 1.

Councilman Sargent seconded. After discussion of some of the items presented, the question was called and the motion carried. Mayor McPhee posed a question to the City Attorney, asking if there was any reason Council could not use some of the time at the September 7th meeting for the items on this agenda, and asked if it was possible to defer this until then. Attorney Knutson replied yes, if Council did not finish its agenda at one session on one day, they could continue it to the next day, or to another date specified. However, there are some things on the agenda that would have to be specifically continued, such as the public hearings. Councilman Stamon moved to continue the agenda and attempt to complete the items listed on the agenda. Councilman Sargent seconded.

Councilman Hallett requested that City Manager Flodstrom place the Pet Welfare Citizens' Group on the agenda for the September 7, 1988, City Council special meeting. Leonard Fuller, 420 East llth Street, gave Council a lengthy presentation on the status of his yard being declared a nuisance, and the steps being taken by the City to enforce the Ordinance. Mr. Fuller stated he did not feel that the City was treating him fairly; that they had not given him adequate time to clean up his yard. Mayor McPhee asked Mr. Fuller if he had a specific complaint against the City. Mr. Fuller replied he was making the complaint right now. Mayor McPhee stated Mr. Fuller needed to be more specific, because so far, Mr. Fuller has stated he has had no warning on the clean -up; however, Mayor McPhee felt it was unlikely that the City would send out a crew to clean up his yard without having the authority of the Council. Mayor McPhee then asked Manager Flodstrom if the crews were responding to instructions from the Council and had Mr. Fuller been notified of the clean- up. Manager Flodstrom replied yes. Mayor McPhee told Mr. Fuller that the Council has reviewed this item with him on several occasions. He then asked Attorney Knutson if there was any legal obligation for the Council to continue this discussion. Attorney Knutson replied no. Mayor McPhee then directed Mr. Fuller to discuss this item Manager, or he suggested that Mr. Fuller retain an attorney. Councilman Stamon asked Attorney Knutson if the City had process in enforcing the Nuisance Ordinance with Mr. Full Knutson responded that the City had followed the exact Ordinance. IX LEGISLATION 1.

(Formation Hearing) Mayor McPhee opened the public hearing at 10:22 P.M. Howard Doherty, 441 Hillcrest, was concerned with the waste of paving a 20- foot street all the way up to the end of Regent Street, an access for only two homes. He did not feel it was necessary to have that wide of a street for only two homes. Ken Ridout, Deputy Director of Public Works, stated normally, depending on the length, the Fire Department requires a 20 -foot wide, all- weather road. He stated the City could pave a 12 -foot wide road; however, there would have to be gravel shoulders to fulfill the 20 -foot wide roadway. Mayor McPhee questioned Mr. Doherty if he had any objections to the City proceeding with the 20 -foot wide paved road. Mr. Doherty stated he felt it was wasteful to have more than you needed, but he was perfectly willing to pay his full portion, regardless of the decision made by the City. Councilman Stamon stated that with the amount of property in the area not developed, it is conceivable in the future that there will be more homes built and she felt it would be incumbent upon the Council to look to the future and make sure Council provides adequately.

He then read the Ordinance by title, entitled ORDINANCE NO. 2507 AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles, Washington, providing for the improvement of a certain area within the City by doing street improvement and by doing all work necessary in connection therewith, creating a Local Improvement District therefor, Regent Street LID No. 209, and providing for the payment of the cost of said improvements by special assessments upon the property in said district.

Regarding Attendance at Emergency_ Management Institute Councilman Lemon requested from staff a brief history, outlining the selection process of the people to attend the Emergency Management in Maryland, those people being Councilman Hallett, Building Official Larry Romig, and Assistant Police Chief Bill Myers. Fire Chief Glenn responded, stating this particular training program has been made available to the Firefighters of Port Angeles for the past seven years. However, just in the past several years, Chief Glenn was informed that the City could also get other staff members into the excellent training facility, which in turn prompted several Councilmembers and members of staff to submit applications. He explained that each year this training is set up -15- between September and September, and if we do in fact attend, we must resubmit applications of interest. Councilman Lemon requested clarification on when it Hallett had submitted his application. CITY COUNCIL MEETING September 6, 1988 have people chosen to was that Councilman Councilman Hallett stated he believed it to be September of last year. Councilman Lemon stated Councilman Hallett has been selected. 1121 Chief Glenn replied the City does not have any selection process. We only submit applications which go through the State. The State then approves them. Further, he stated, this class is conducted for 45 people across the country. Mayor McPhee stated it made more sense to him to send a Councilmember who would be seated for the next three years, rather than sending one who was only going to be here for one year. Mayor McPhee asked Chief Glenn if it is a Councilman that is going there. Chief Glenn responded Councilman Hallett's name was selected and received approval from the Federal Training Academy. Mayor McPhee questioned if Council Hallett were unavailable, or if the Council chose to send one of the Councilmen who have the longest time still to serve, would the institution be willing to substitute someone else from the City. Chief Glenn responded, no, there is a contingency plan. He can submit an application for a change if someone cannot attend. Councilman Lemon asked Chief Glenn if Council does in fact have the right to choose whether the approved person could or could not attend. Chief Glenn responded that he did not feel it would affect the criteria of the approved applicant; however, he did urge Council to continue on with the application process. Councilman Stamon voiced her surprise in what she was hearing from other Councilmembers regarding whether or not a Councilmember should be able to avail himself to such training, regardless of the length of time they have left to serve. Council and staff discussed this issue further. Councilman Hallett expressed his surprise over the feelings surrounding this issue, stating he felt the Council should just be happy that there is a representative of the Council able to attend. That person would be able to report back to the Council information. Councilman Lemon concerning this issue, directed staff to provide more history and information regarding these items, as he did not realize it had involved time, and there was a year or two years worth of processing, and not being aware of the process, that he thought staff selected an elected official, stating that he is so tied up at work that sometimes he is not available to research an issue. Mayor McPhee called for a motion whether Council should send someone three years, or should Council send another year. Councilman Sargent stated in view of the fact Council can apply now and this opportunity may be available six months from now, or even sooner, she was quite happy to leave the issue the way it is, and urged Councilmembers who were interested to apply. Councilman Stamon stated for the public's information, they needed to be aware the only cost to the City for this one -week program, including air fare and lodging are all paid for by Federal Emergency Management Agency and the only cost to the City is the $55 fee. -16- regarding the question raised, as to who is going to be on the Council for someone whose present term is only for 1122 CITY COUNCIL MEETING September 6, 1988 IX CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS /LATE ITEMS None.
