BOX 1150 PORT ANGELES, WASHINGTON 98362 .PHONE (206) 457.0411 October 2, 1984 ""!!-" Duane Berentson Secretary of Transportation Department of Transportation Transportation Building KF-Ol Olympia, Washington 98504 Dear Secretary Berentson: This letter is being sent on behalf of the Port .Angeles City Council, the Mayor of Sequim, and the Mayor of Port Townsend. The purpose of this letter is to summarize for you the discussion which took place at a recent City Council work session where the Washington State Ferry System's Long Range Plan was discussed. At our meet ing of September 25, several representatives of local govex:nment.al .entities expressed their concern and di.spleasure with the Department of Transportation's process for obtaining public input on the Department's Long Range Plan for the Ferry System. It is gener- ally felt that not only were insufficient opportunities for input available, but also when the opportunity did present itself, the format did not result in adequate presentation of the public input. It is the general feeling of most, if not all jurisdictions on the North Olympic Peninsula, that the involvement of North Olympic Peninsula governmental agencies and citizens has been overlooked or i.gnored in your Environmental Impact Statement process. The fact that you and Mr. Sorte were invited to attend this meeting of North Olympic peninsula governmental entities and you both chose. not to attend, further accentuates your disregard for our input and the need for our involvement. I beleive that most people in attendance at the September 25th meeting appreciated the attendance of the Planning Director of the Marine Division of the Washington State Department of Transportation I Mr. Don Nutter. Mr. Nutter was able to provide the Council with some assurances that efforts will be made in the future to solicit the input of citizens of the North Olympic Peninsula and that past efforts were inadequate. However, it was obvious that Mr. Nutter would not be making the decisions that would determine how Washington State Transportation Department would complete its draft Environmental Impact Statement process and who would be involved in that process. Page tV!O D,wne Berentson Oct. 2, 1984 I I have attached a copy of the minutes from that special City counCil. worksession as \\.'ell as a copy of a newspap~r article \-lhich appeared the fol],mdng day in the Port Angeles Daily News. We would like to thank Mr. Don Nutter for attending our meeting and providing us with additional information which we had not previously received. We hope 1'1:::", Nutter is able to adequately impress upon Mr. Sorte and yourself, OUi. concerns and the direction which we feel the Department of Trans- p0:ctat ion Marine Divis ion needs to go to accomplish a proper and legally c~r.Tect solicitation of public input when it is part of an EnVironmentalt_ Impact Statement process.

Cotinci1man Schermer moved to table Councilman Whidden seconded and the motion carried. E. Appeal of Denial of Taxi Cab Driver License Denial Upheld Mayor Duncan opened the public hearing and asked for comments. Craig Ritchie, attorney for Mr. Crall, addressed the Council. Mr. Ritchie referred to specific qualifications listed in Section 5.36.090 of the PAMC and stated that Mr. Crall met those qualifications. It was Mr. Ritchie's opinion that the license was denied without the authority of the law and due process. He stated that denial of the license denies Mr. Crall a right that he would otherwise be entitled to, such being that he would be discriminated against under Federal and State Civil Rights laws. Councilman Quast referred to the application completed by Mr. Crall, which stated that he had been convicted of drunk or reckless driving in 1982 or 1983. Mr. Ritchie stated that Mr. Crall was not correct in filling out the application. Councilman Quast also stated that the City Council has a responsibility to the public and that he did not interpret the ordinance in the same manner that Mr. Ritchie did. Attorney Knutson then addressed the Council, directing the Council's attention to the September 14, 1984, memorandum from Director of Finance and Administrative Services Rob Orton and the memorandum from himself regarding the license denial. He pointed out that the City Clerk's denial decision could be found in the August 29, 1984, letter to Mr. Crall from City Clerk Lannoye. Attorney Knutson stated the three mandatory reasons for denying a taxi driver license had apparently not been met in this situation; otherwise there would have been no need for the Chief of Police to have made a recommendation. He stated that in the rules of statutory interpretation the Police Chief's recommendation was based on discretionary authority that the ordinance conferred upon him. Attorney Knutson cited in his memo a court case which supports that view of statutory interpretation principles. He noted that Mr. Ritchie had not cited specific cases which support his view so it was difficult to respond to exactly what legal authorities Mr. Ritchie was relying upon. He stated that if the ordinance is read as a whole, it is apparent that there are requirements for types of information to be put in the application that give the Police Chief direction as to what kind of investigation he is supposed to take. Mr. Knutson referred to a Washington Supreme Court case in which the court said specifically that it is appropriate to deny taxi driver's licenses based on violations that are related to the occupation of taxi driving. Attorney Knutson also pointed out, as he had in his memo, the law recognizes that in a case like this, where the public safety is at stake, it is important that the powers that be, be given discretion to make the best decision in the public interest. He then referred to a Supreme Court case, the Standow case, in which it was determined that the burden for proving that the final decision was not based on proper factors, is upon the applicant. He stated that even if there weren't standards in the City's ordinance, as long as the reasons for the denial were based on factors that have been recognized as proper by the Washington Supreme Court, the decision is legitimate and legal. There being no further comments, Mayor Duncan closed the public hearing. Councilman Schermer then moved to sustain the denial of the taxi driver license. He cited the following findings of fact: (I) The applicant's convictions related to operation of a motor vehicle directly relate to the operation of taxis in public areas regulated by the City, and would not be I I 'I 205 CITY COUNCIL MEETING September 18, 1984 suggested that the equipment be surp1used for the purpose of attracting bids while at the same time staff look into the feasibility of swapping chassis with equipment that the City currently owns. Councilman Schermer suggested offering the equipment for bid both as complete units or offering the packers separately. Councilman Quast then amended the previous motion adding that the 1978 Ford C8000 with 25-yard packer, the 1980 Ford C8000 with Hei1 packer, and the 1983 Ford C800 with 20-yard Leach packer be advertised in three or more different modes as recommended by Manager Flodstrom and Councilman Schermer, and that the acceptance of bids be reserved to the Council. Councilman Whidden concurred with the amendment. On call for the question, the motion as amended carried. D.

He cited the following findings of fact: (1) The applicant's convictions related to operation of a motor vehicle directly relate to the operation of taxis in public areas regulated by the City, and would not be 206 CITY COUNCIL MEETING September 18, 1984 in the best interests of public safety; (2) The applicant provided incorrect information in his application with respect to criminal convictions involv- ing the possession of intoxicating liquor and public morality and decency. His application referred only to disorderly conduct, while he also had convictions of minor in possession, petit larceny, failure to pay fines, disturbing the peace, and first degree criminal trespass. (3) Issuing a license, in view of the motor vehicle convictions and overall criminal record, places the City at considerable liability risk for operations in which the licensee would engage. Councilman Quast seconded and the motion carried unanimously. I 2. Planning Commission Minutes of September 12, 1984 A. M-1 Permit Granted - Jones/Washington Stevedoring Request was made for an M-1 Permit to allow a 4,400 square-foot marine- oriented warehouse with stevedoring office and ten parking spaces located at the corner of the Tumwater Truck Route and Marine Drive.

Councilman Hordyk seconded, and following discussion, on call for the question, the motion carried. B. Conditional Use Permit - Upton - Extension Granted A request has been made for extension of a Conditional Use Permit allowing a frame shop in the RMF, Residential Multi-Family District, located at 524 Cherry Street. Councilman Gerberding moved to concur with the recommenda- tion of the Planning Commission to grant the extension of the Conditional Use Permit for one year, subject to the fOllowing conditions: (1) That upon approval of the extension the applicant immediately initiate, by submitting appropriate plans, the closure of the curb cut; and (2) That a sign of only one square foot in area be permitted.

Mayor Authorized to Sign Maintenance Contract for Leased Police Vehicles Councilman Schermer moved to authorize Mayor Duncan to sign a maintenance agreement with Sunrise Motors for maintenance of leased Police vehicles. Councilman Quast seconded. Following discussion, on call for the question, the motion carried with Councilman Hordyk voting "No". 4. Staff Instructed to Prepare Amendment to City Pier Ordinance Mayor Duncan reviewed a memo from the City Attorney with recommendations on possible amendments to the ordinance, which were discussed by Council at the September 4, 1984, meeting. Manager Flodstrom presented a memo from Russell Hesselman, Chairman of the Parks, Recreation and Beautification Commission, with a recommendation. The Council discussed with staff the method that-would be used if the parking lot were closed at 11:00 P.M. Parks & Recreation Director Marsh stated that it would be closed through signage, that no gate would be installed. When asked by Councilman Quast, Police Chief Cleland answered that he had discovered a direct correlation between cars parked in the parking lot and littering and vandalism near the parking lot on the Pier. Manager Flodstrom stated that prior to the existence of this parking lot, these problems had not occurred at the parking lot of Haguewood's Restaurant located nearby. Councilman Haguewood stated that vandalism in the restrooms is an on-going problem and closing the parking lot would not solve anything. He stated that probably one percent of the people create this problem. Mayor Duncan stated that the amendment would accomplish two things: (1) It would allow the City to live up to its own ordinance; and (2) the Council would be following the recommendation of the Parks, Recreation and Beautification Commission, who had devoted much time and study to this problem. She indicated that she would like to see this implemented for a trial period at least. Councilman Quast made an additional recommendation that a pOlice officer make an on-foot inspection on an irregular basis on the Pier. He stated that he had heard the highest commendations on the police officer who was placed on foot patrol to help alleviate the bicycle problem. He stated that local business proprietors had stated that shoplifting had decreased during this period and had requested the police officer be placed on duty during the Christmas season. Police Chief Cleland indicated this was being planned. Councilman Hordyk noted concern over too much signage and regulation on a public facility such as the Pier. He stated that the City should attempt to promote some kind of a positive attitude, as the Pier does belong to the public. Parks Director Marsh agreed with Councilman Hordyk and stated that the signs would possibly be wooden and would be very complimentary. He stated that within the last two weeks there had been a party on top of the tower at the Pier, to which he had put a.stop; that seven more of the mushroom lights, at a value of $37 each, had been broken; and that a fire had been started in the restroom. Following further discussion at length, Councilman Schermer moved to accept the recommendations of the Parks, Recreation and Beautification Commission as follows: (1) That the City pier parking lot be closed from 11:00 P.M. until 8:00 A.M. in the winter, and from 11:00 P.M. until 7:00 A.M. in the summer-to all parking other than authorized U. S. Coast Guard personnel; (2) That the restrooms be closed during those same time periods; (3) That the Pier remain open to foot traffic 24 hours daily, including Coast Guard personnel and those individuals using the finger floats. He also moved to accept the recommendation of Councilman Quast that the Pier be patrolled by foot patrol on a regular basis at irregular hours. Councilman Quast seconded, and the motion carred with Councilman Haguewood voting "No". 5. Utility Advisory Committee Meeting Scheduled for October 9, 1984 The Council scheduled a meeting of the Utility Advisory Committee for October 9, 1984, at 5:00 P.M. to discuss model conservation standards and an amendment to the weatherization program contracts. 207 208 CITY COUNCIL MEETING September 18, 1984 Manager Flodstrom indicated that the Water/Sewer Cost of Service informa- tion study, which has recently been completed, will also be discussed at that time.
