IV APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 4, 1990 Councilman Hallett moved to approve the minutes of the special and regular meeting of September 4, 1990. Councilman Nicholson seconded the motion. The motion was voted on and carried unanimously. V FINANCE 1. Request for progress payment to DelHur for Landfill construction of $690,001.36; retainage to escrow $33,560.37 Councilman Hallett moved to authorize the progress payment to DelHur for Landfill construction in the amount of $690,001.36, with retainage to escrow in the amount of $33,560.37. Councilman Ostrowski seconded the motion. Mayor Sargent inquired as to when this construction project will be complete. Director of Public Works Pittis indicated it should be completed by approximately the end of the year. We anticipate placing the first amount of garbage in the new cell in approximately three weeks. After limited discussion, the motion was voted on and carried unanimously. 2. Consideration of bid award for roof replacement at City Light operations building On May 15, 1990, the City Council had authorized the Light Department to call for bids to replace the roof on the operations building, which was built in 1961 and is located at the corner of Front and Cherry Streets. The existing roof is leaking in the warehouse and garage areas, and the metal rain gutters need to be repaired/replaced because they have rusted away in several locations. The Light Department requested price proposals from 16 local contractors for the roof replacement. Four responses or bids were received. Councilman Ostrowski moved to award the bid for replacing the roof on the City Light operations building to the lowest responsible bidder, Hoch Construction, in the amount of $46,562.05, including tax. Councilman Cornell seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. VI CONSENT AGENDA Councilmembers discussed some of the items presented on the Consent Agenda. Of particular concern was Item 2, regarding the request to authorize the -1- 1694 CITY COUNCIL MEETING September 18, 1990 consultant to prepare bid plans and specifications and authorize a call for bids on a solution to the overheating problem at City Hall. Councilman Cornell noted the proposed solution addresses most of the problem on the second floor, but does not address the overheating in the Mall area. At some time in the future, would this issue need to be dealt with, and if so, could additional expense be involved by separating them in this fashion? Could money be saved by joining them together? City Light Director Titus responded that the solution suggested by the consultant for venting the Mall proved to be more expensive than those options being pursued by the Parks & Recreation Department. However, at the time the contract is bid the Mall area could certainly be included as part of the bid documents. After lengthy discussion, the Council agreed, by consensus, to have staff solicit bids to include the Mall area so they can review the second floor bids and the Mall area bids as separate items. Councilman Hallett moved to accept the items as presented on the Consent Agenda, including (1) Request permission to call for bids for painting of light standards; (2) Request to authorize consultant to prepare bid plans and specifications and authorization to call for bids solution to overheating problem at City Hall; (3) Correspondence from Washington State Liquor Control Board; (4) Vouchers of $1,749,108.63. Councilman Ostrowski seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. VII ITEMS FROM THE COUNCIL/AUDIENCE TO BE CONSIDERED/PLACED ON THE AGENDA Ray Gruver, 2802 South Laurel Street, spoke to the Council on behalf of Umbrella Services. This organization has shown interest in the use of the old City Hall building. During the time discussions have been held about this possibility, Mr. Gruver's impression was the City Council had decided to revisit the use of the building. At this time, he requested the City Council give consideration tonight, during the executive session portion of the meeting, to Umbrella Services' need to acquire space as soon as possible. Umbrella Services needs to be relocated by the first of the year. Realizing a certain amount of upgrading must be done to the old City Hall building, Mr. Gruver indicated Umbrella Services is comfortable with the timeline; however, it would be helpful to know on an immediate basis the direction the City Council plans to take. Mayor Sargent assured Mr. Gruver the Council would give this matter consideration and advise him of its decision. Harvey Medley, 810 West Fifth Street, spoke to the City Council on the subject of overgrown lots and the storage of junk materials. Mr. Medley relayed the problem he is having with property located in the immediate vicinity of his residence, whereby the property owner is storing a variety of junk material and other items which pose a fire hazard. Additionally, vines are growing into Mr. Medley's yard and his fence is being knocked down. Mayor Sargent advised Mr. Medley that the Ordinance requires two or more written complaints in regard to public nuisance/junk materials being stored. Not knowing whether two such complaints have been filed, the Mayor requested that the Public Works Department pursue this matter and contact Mr. Medley as to a possible resolution. Pete Shue, 2321 West 18th Street, requested to speak to the Council on Legislative Item No. 6. Councilman Lemon noted he had observed some demolition cars which have been vacated on the Clallam County Fairgrounds property. Parks & Recreation Director Brodhun indicated the Manager of the Fairgrounds has been contacted and has been asked to arrange to get the cars moved. If she is unable to do so, the cars will be towed away at owner's expense. Councilman Hallett asked that discussion be held on two items on the Information Agenda, one being the needs assessment report on the Senior Center, the other being the Second Street bridge. Both items will be added to the Agenda as Legislative Items 10 and 11 respectively. At this time Mayor Sargent moved Legislative Item 6 to Item 1 on the Agenda. -2- 1695 CITY COUNCIL MEETING September 18, 1990 VIII LEGISLATION 1. PUBLIC HEARING: A. REVOCATION OF PAWN SHOP BUSINESS LICENSE Attorney Knutson stated that he had spoken to Mr. Connely's attorney who indicated his client is going to begin to comply immediately with the reporting requirements and will also honor the list the City provided and will not do business with persons who have been listed as being prohibited from transacting pawnshop business. Mr. Connely's attorney also indicated the third area of violation has already been complied with, having to do with posting the rates on the premises. The City Attorney recommended that the City Council set a special meeting to continue this public hearing to October 8th in the event compliance is not forthcoming. Based on the previous record of this business, the Police Department feels there is a need to monitor Mr. Connely~s business closely. A letter will be forthcoming from Mr. Connelyfs attorney indicating what his specific plans will be on the issue of compliance. Councilman Hallett moved to continue the public hearing on the revocation of the pawnshop to a special meeting, to incorporate the recommendations of the City Attorney, and further, that City Council shall convene a special meeting to continue this public hearing on Monday, October 8, 1990, at 6:00 P.M. The motion was seconded by Councilman Lemon. Mayor Sargent indicated it is not the intention of the City Council to put people out of business~ however, it is important that Council make sure all businesses are operating within the law. Councilman Cornell inquired as to whether two weeks is an adequate period of time to assess compliance. Attorney Knutson had discussed this with the Police Department, which thinks it will be adequate. If not, at the first sign of noncompliance, the matter would be returned to the City Council immediately. Attorney Knutson cautioned the City Council members that this is an item which is subject to the appearance of fairness doctrine in that the City Council is acting in a quasi-judicial capacity. Therefore, Council members should not be discussing this matter with anyone and should not be expressing prejudgment on the issue. The motion was voted on and carried unanimously. 2. PUBLIC HEARING: Plannin~ A. STREET VACATION REQUEST STV-90(09)4 - Richard Grimsley, et al, Portion of East Sixth Street Mayor Sargent indicated this matter is brought to Council in order to add property to a proposed street vacation, as recommended by the Planning Commission. In order to concur with the recommendation of the Planning Commission, the Council would need to open a public hearing and then continue the hearing to the October 16, 1990, meeting in order to meet the requirements of publication. Mayor Sargent read the Resolution by title, entitled RESOLUTION NO. 25-90 A RESOLUTION of the City of Port Angeles amending Resolution No. 21-90, setting a hearing date for a petition to vacate a portion of East Sixth Street abutting Lot 10, Block 189, Lots 17 and 18, Block 190, Lot 1 and the east 30 feet of Lot 2, Block 211, and Lot 9, Block 212, TPA. Mayor Sargent opened the public hearing at 7:35 P.M. There being no public comment, Mayor Sargent then closed the public hearing at 7:36 P.M. Councilman Ostrowski moved to pass the Resolution as read by title and continue the hearing date to October 16, 1990. The motion was seconded by Councilman Lemon and carried unanimously. -3- 1696 CITY COUNCIL MEETING September 18, 1990 3. Planning Commission Minutes of September 12, 1990 A. SHORELINE SUBSTANTIAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT - SMA-90(09)ll0 - DAISHOWA AMERICA CO., LTD., Marine Drive: Permit to allow the construction of a recycled paper facility Councilman Cornell referenced a letter in the Council packet written by Planning Director Collins to Richard Burkhalter of the Department of Ecology with respect to the amount of possible increase in traffic. Councilman Cornell inquired as to how much of an increase in traffic to expect, and what kind of vehicles would be used. At this time, Wally Malkinson of Pacific Liaicon, Ltd., who resides at 4190 Cedar Hill Road in Victoria, British Columbia, spoke on behalf of Daishowa America as the project manager. Approximately 200 tons of recycled newsprint per day will be transported, which equates to 12 trucks per day with one per hour moving through town in each direction. In looking at the traffic statistics in key intersections, it is Daishowa's contention that any traffic increase would be a very small increment. Also, Daishowa will try to back-haul recyclable paper in the vans that are transporting the finished product out, which should further minimize any additional traffic. This, however, cannot be guaranteed. Councilman Cornell referenced the current market for newsprint and asked whether it would be worthwhile for the City to stock-pile newsprint for Daishowa's purposes. Mr. Malkinson responded that certainly it might be a worthwhile consideration for a given period before start-up. However, he would like the opportunity to respond to the City at a future date on this subject. He noted that the construction period anticipated is approximately 16 months, with start-up scheduled for the spring of 1992. Councilman Ostrowski moved to concur with the Planning Commission recommendation and approve the Shoreline Substantial Development Permit, subject to the following conditions, and citing the following findings and conclusions: Conditions: (A) Any development within the FEMA-designated 100-year flood plain shall comply with all requirements of the Port Angeles Flood Damage Prevention Code, Chapter 15.12 PAMC; (B) Prior to operation of the recycling facility, the applicant shall construct the Port Angeles Waterfront Trail on property under Daishowa's control. Plans for the Trail shall be based on the Port Angeles Waterfront Trail Plan and shall be approved by the Port Angeles Parks and Public Works Departments prior to construction. Alternate locations for the Trail may be approved by the Port Angeles Parks and Public Works Departments. The City may grant permission to operate the facility, provided that a letter of agreement or an improvement bond acceptable as to form and amount by the Director of Public Works and the City Attorney is posted in the amount of the estimated value of the construction of the Waterfront Trail. If a bond is not provided, the applicant shall enter into a written agreement to construct the Trail. Daishowa shall construct the Trail no later than two (2) years from the date of operation of the recycling facility. The City of Port Angeles will assume liability for the Trail after construction and shall obtain all required permits for the construction; Findings: (1) The proposed recycling facility would be located at the site of DaishowaAmerica's existing directory paper mill and would not extend a heavy industrial use into an area not currently used for such activity; (2) Provided Daishowa constructs the Port Angeles Waterfront Trail through the Mill, the proposal will provide pedes- trian visual and physical access to the shoreline in an industrial area; (3) Any construction within the FEMA-designated 100-year flood plain will be required to meet the standards for development within such areas, as found in the Port Angeles Flood Damage Prevention Code, Chapter 15.12 PAMC; (4) The Planning Department and Planning Commission gave serious consideration to flood hazard issues during review of the shoreline permit application; (5) The Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code identifythe property as industrial, while the site is designated as Urban by the Port Angeles Shoreline Master Program; Conclusions: (A) The proposal is consistent with the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code; (B) The proposal, as conditioned, is consistent with the Port Angeles Shoreline Master Program, the Shoreline Manage- ment Act, the Waterfront Trail Plan, and the Flood Damage Prevention Code; (C) The proposal, as conditioned, is in the public use and interest. The motion was seconded by Councilman Nicholson. -4- 1697 CITY COUNCIL MEETING September 18, 1990 Councilman Hallett inquired as to whether the Waterfront Trail will be preserved through this construction process and subsequent to that project. Planning Director Collins indicated that meetings have been held between staff and the applicant and it is the general conclusion that the flexibility needed will be provided in order to proceed with the Waterfront Trail through the Mill and onto the Hook. The Waterfront Trail will probably be constructed on that particular portion in 1991, which would be prior to the operation of the recycled paper facility. After limited discussion, the motion was voted on and carried unanimously. B. SHORELINE SUBSTANTIAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT - SMA-90(09)112 - DAISHOWA AMERICA CO., LTD., Marine Drive: Permit to allow construction of a 69 kV substation at the Port Angeles Daishowa Mill site In response to an inquiry from Councilman Lemon, City Light Director Titus indicated that all construction of the substation is the total responsibility and expense of Daishowa America. Discussion also ensued with respect to the amount of power being supplied to Daishowa by the City of Port Angeles. City Light Director Titus indicated the City provides power but it is difficult to determine which power source is providing energy in any specific location of Daishowa. The load demand should be quite minimal. Councilman Hallett moved to concur with the Planning Commission recommendation and to approve the Shoreline Substantial Development Permit, subject to the following condition, and citing the following findings and conclusions: Condition: (A) Prior to operation of the electrical substation, the applicant shall construct the Port Angeles Waterfront Trail on property under Daishowa's control. Plans for the Trail shall be based on the Port Angeles Waterfront Trail Plan and shall be approved by the Port Angeles Parks and Public Works Departments prior to construction. Alternate locations for the Trail may be approved by the Port Angeles Parks and Public Works Departments. The City may grant permission to operate the facility, provided that a letter of agreement or an improvement bond acceptable as to form and amount by the Director of Public Works and the City Attorney is posted in the amount of the estimated value of the construction of the Waterfront Trail. If a bond is not provided, the applicant shall enter into a written agreement to construct the Trail. Daishowa shall construct the Trail no later than two (2) years from the date of operation of the recycling facility. The City of Port Angeles will assume liability for the Trail after construction and shall obtain all required permits for the construction; Findings: (1) The proposed electrical substation yard would be located at the site of DaishowaAmerica's existing directory paper mill and would not extend a heavy industrial use into an area not currently used for such activity; (2) Provided Daishowa constructs the Port Angeles Waterfront Trail through the Mill, the proposal will provide pedestrian visual and physical access to the shoreline in an industrial area; (3) Any construction within the FEMA-designated lO0-year flood plain will be required to meet the standards for development within such areas, as found in the Port Angeles Flood Damage Prevention Code, Chapter 15.12 PAMC; (4) The Planning Department and Planning Commission gave serious consideration to flood hazard issues during review of the shoreline permit application; (5) The Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code identify the property as industrial, while the site is designated as Urban by the Port Angeles Shoreline Master Program; Conclusions: (A) The proposal is consistent with the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code; (B) The proposal, as conditioned, is consistent with the Port Angeles Shoreline Master Program, the Shoreline Management Act, the Waterfront Trail Plan, and .... the Flood Damage Prevention Code; (C) The proposal, as conditioned, is in the public use and interest. The motion was seconded by Councilman Cornell and carried unanimously. C. SHORELINE SUBSTANTIAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT SMA-90(09)lll CITY OF PORT ANGELES, Marine Drive between Oak and Hill Streets: Extension of Port Angeles Waterfront Trail Councilman Cornell moved to concur with the Planning Commission recommendation and approve the Shoreline Substantial Development Permit to extend the Port Angeles Waterfront Trail along Marine Drive from Oak Street to Hill Street, citing the following findings and conclusions' Findings: (1) The proposed Waterfront Trail extension will provide access to the public shoreline, which is a separate, non-motorized, vehicular and pedestrian path linked to other parts of the circulation system in the City but separated from streets used by motorized vehicles; (2) The Waterfront Trail extension provides numerous oppor- -5- 1698 CITY COUNCIL MEETING September 18, 1990 tunities to view the Harbor, Strait of Juan de Fuca, Canada, and Mt. Baker. The access provides an unusual recreational environment compared to the typical City park and sports fields, and can be used by young and old residents from the entire City; (3) The proposed extension of the Waterfront Trail does not convert the shoreline resource into irreversible uses or detrimentally alter the natural conditions of the shoreline and has minimal impacts on the shoreline area itself; (4) The proposal is an implementation of the City's adopted Urban Waterfront Trail Plan, which is a bicycle and hiking path which provides public access to the water and links the rest of the City's circulation system; (5) The proposal provides development and expansion of recreational areas on Port Angeles Harbor; (6) The access, recreation area, and interpretive signage are improvements that facilitate public access to the shoreline, which reflects a design attention to the importance of environmental quality and natural resources of the existing shoreline area by developing within areas that have already been altered by man; (7) The Waterfront Trail extension provides significant recreational opportunities for joggers, walkers, bicyclers, and passive recreational activities, such as sight-seeing, picnicking, beach combing, nature walks, fishing, birding, and observation of marine commerce in the Harbor. The construction of the access areas will significantly increase the recreational facilities within the City of Port Angeles; Conclusions: (A) The proposal is consistent with the Port Angeles Shoreline Master Program; specifically General Regulations C.2 and C.5; Land Use Elements D.2, D.4, and D.6; Natural Systems Element E.l.a; and Recreation Use Regulations F.19, a through d; (B) The proposal is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Plan; (C) The proposal implements the City's adopted PortAngeles Urban Waterfront Trail Plan; (D) The proposal is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, specifically circulation Policies Nos. 7 and 10, Parks and Recreation Policy No. 3, and Urban Design Policy No. 2. Councilman Hallett seconded the motion. In response to an inquiry from Councilman Ostrowski, Public Works Director Pittis indicated that, weather permitting, work on this particular project will start in approximately 30 days. Councilman Hallett inquired as to the status of the current grant request with IAC. Parks & Recreation Director Brodhun stated the project was well received and has been determined to be an excellent project, worthy of consideration. Further, Director Brodhun felt the application scored extremely high. The City will not be formally notified until September 24th or 28th as to the outcome on this grant request. The motion was voted on and carried unanimously. 3A. Planning Commission Minutes of September 12, 1990 At the September 12, 1990, meeting of the Planning Commission, the withdrawal of the permit application - SMA-90(07)109 - Olympic Memorial Hospital, had been accepted. Accordingly, a motion was made by Councilman Lemon, seconded by Councilman Cornell, and carried unanimously, to accept the withdrawal of the Shoreline Permit submitted by Olympic Memorial Hospital. Acceptance of Planning Commission Minutes of September 12, 1990 Councilman Hallett moved to accept and place on file the Planning Commission minutes of September 12, 1990. The motion was seconded by Councilman Lemon and carried unanimously. 4. Request to circulate an annexation petition - KAUFMANN: Property located west of the current City limits At this time, Council considered a proposed annexation of approximately 15 acres south of State Route 101, across from Fairmount Avenue. Planning Director Collins advised the Council the application was filed on September 4th or 7th, and Council must accept the request before the October 16th meeting. Such a matter is usually sent to public hearing at the Planning Commission before the public meeting with the City Council on October 16th, after which time a petition must be returned representing the owners of 75% of the property in that particular area. -6- 1699 CITY COUNCIL MEETING September 18, 1990 Councilman Cornell moved to set a public meeting on October 16, 1990, for consideration of this annexation request from Kaufmannand that the request be forwarded to the Planning Commission for a public hearing and recommendation. The motion was seconded by Councilman Ostrowski. At this time, Mayor Sargent reviewed the staff recommendation that the request to circulate the annexation petition not be accepted. Planning Director Collins responded to a question from Councilman Lemon, noting that the area surrounding the referenced property is in the County. The only contiguous City boundary is at the north margin of Highway 101. The owners of 75% of the property would have to be in favor of this petition for annexation. Councilman Lemon advised the Council he would be voting in opposition to this motion because the property in question has an irregular boundary and because the City is considering an area that is not close to the City. He felt favoring this may cause future problems. At this time, the motion was voted on, with Councilmen Cornell and Ostrowski voting in favor of the motion and Councilmen Hallett, Lemon, and Nicholson voting in opposition. The motion failed. A motion was then made by Councilman Hallett to not accept the request to circulate the annexation petition until such time as the request addresses the issues set forth in the staff memorandum. The motion was seconded by Councilman Lemon and carried unanimously. 5. Request to circulate an annexation petition - FREEMAN: Property located south of the current City limits City Council gave consideration to a request received to circulate an annexation petition for approximately 5.70 acres south of the present City limits in the area of Fogarty and Dolanfs Second Addition to Port Angeles. Councilman Cornell moved to set a public meeting on October 16, 1990, to consider the Freeman annexation and forward the request to the Planning Commission for a public hearing and recommendation. Councilman Lemon seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. 6. Resolution setting public hearing for a street vacation request Mayor Sargent read the Resolution by title, entitled RESOLUTION NO. 26-90 A RESOLUTION of the City of Port Angeles setting a hearing date for a petition to vacate a portion of Euclid Street abutting Lot 1, Block 8, Pennsylvania Park Addition to the TPA. Councilman Ostrowski moved to pass the Resolution as read by title, setting the public hearing for October 16, 1990, and forwarding the petition to the Planning Commission for a hearing at its October 10, 1990, meeting. The motion was seconded by Councilman Hallett and carried unanimously. 7. Consideration of offer to purchase property located at 14th and "I" Deputy Director of Public Works Ridout addressed the subject of an offer to purchase Lot 2, Block 407, Townsite of Port Angeles, by Ms. Crouse in the bid amount of $10,000. Mr. Ridout noted that Ms. Crouse wished to attach a contingency clause to her offer in that her purchase would be subject to being able to obtain a favorable site evaluation. Ms. Crouse has indicated concern about potential drainage problems. Councilman Lemon moved to accept the offer from Ms. Crouse and authorize the Mayor to enter into a real estate contract for Lot 2, Block 407, TPA, subject to the following terms and conditions: The bidder shall deposit 25 percent of the sale price and the balance, including interest at the rate of ten percent, shall be paid within one year, and subject to the purchaser obtaining a favorable site evaluation. A written report on the site evaluation must be submitted to the City within a two-week period. The motion was seconded by Councilman Nicholson and carried unanimously. -7- 1700 CITY COUNCIL MEETING September 18, 1990 8. Discussion and consideration of letter regarding Elwha Dam removal/ protection of City's water supply Mayor Sargent read a draft letter prepared for discussion at the request of Councilman Ostrowski, to be sent to Congressman A1 Swift, addressing the subject of the Elwha Dam removal and protection of the City's water supply. Councilman Ostrowski expressed his concern to the Council in that it is essential the City make sure a reliable water source for both domestic and industrial purposes is maintained for the City. There has not been a study conducted as to what could happen if the dams were removed. Councilman Nicholson was of the opinion every Council member should sign this letter. Accordingly, a motion was made by Councilman Nicholson to accept the letter and sign it as a Council. The motion was seconded by Councilman Lemon and carried unanimously. James Curnew of 122 East Ninth Street advised Council that FERC is to issue an environmental statement on the removal of the dams in November, 1990. Water turbidity will be a portion of that study. Additionally, a Lower Elwha Study will be addressing the same issues and he feels that to send such a letter is premature. 9. Consideration of bond ordinance for extension of interim financing for LID #211 Mayor Sargent read the Ordinance by title, entitled ORDINANCE NO. 2613 AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of Port Angeles, Washington, authorizing the issuance and sale of Local Improvement District No. 211 Bond Anticipation Notes in the principal amount of $790,000 for the purpose of refunding the outstanding Bond Anticipation Notes issued in said Local Improvement District No. 211; providing the form, terms, conditions and covenants of said notes; providing for the sale thereof; and providing for the disposition of the proceeds of the sale. Councilman Hallett moved to adopt the Ordinance as read by title, authorizing the issuance of the Bond Anticipation Notes on LID No. 211, and authorizing publication by s,mmary. The motion was seconded by Councilman Nicholson. A brief discussion followed, with respect to the possibility of the City borrowing money from itself for such an item. However, it was noted that bond counsel and the underwriters have advised the City to proceed in this present fashion. The motion was voted on and carried unanimously. 10. Needs Assessment for Senior Center (added by Councilman Hallett) Councilman Hallett asked as to when additional information would be provided to the Council on the needs assessment for the Senior Center. Also, when would the Council be given the opportunity to provide specific direction. Mayor Sargent stated it is appropriate to make this issue part of the goal- setting session, as well as the issue of a youth center. Consideration might possibly be given to a multi-purpose center. As an added note, Mayor Sargent referenced the recent City Council meeting, at which time several members of the youth groups attended the meeting to speak on behalf of the City youth as to their needs for a youth center. They were invited to attend a "Yes to Youth" meeting. None of them attended. City Manager Pomeranz indicated that he and Parks & Recreation Director Brodhun had attended a recent meeting on the Senior Center needs assessment. The Board of the Senior Center will be making a presentation to the City Council at its first meeting in October. -8- 1701 CITY COUNCIL MEETING September 18, 1990 11. Second Street Bridge (added by Councilman Hallett) Public Works Director Pittis indicated the Second Street bridge had been repaired approximately ten years ago. It has been discovered the bridge is City~owned property and the State has been asked for assistance in providing permanent repair for the bridge. The City will be completing temporary repairs in the near future. Discussion followed, with Councilman Lemon requesting that staff provide future information as to the cost for replacement of the bridge. IX CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS/LATE ITEMS Councilman Nicholson reported on his participation in a committee which was formed to discuss a joint effort between the City and the School District for tennis courts at the High School. The committee met at least twice and the project cost appears to be approximately $400,000. $150,000 is property owned by the School District. $250,000 would pay for six lighted tennis courts. The cost to the City would be approximately $110,000. At this point, such moneys have not been budgeted and this information is being shared for informational purposes only at this time. Consideration might be given to the City providing in-kind labor on the project. The Committee will be returning to the City Council at a future date with a formal proposal. Councilman Lemon indicated his reluctance to vote in support of such a project. At the time the project was initially discussed at Council level, it was his impression that the Cityfs contribution to the project would be for in-kind labor only. It is his feeling that if the City has $110,000 in additional funds, it might well be better spent on other projects. Further, Councilman Lemon questioned the priority of tennis courts over other needed matters in the City, particularly on projects that might be used by more members of the community. Councilman Ostrowski noted that perhaps this issue is well timed because of the budget process presently underway. Councilman Ostrowski attended the Washington Public Transportation Meeting with other representatives from the State. He indicated it had an excellent program to offer. Mayor Sargent spoke to the subject of 2929 the Growth Management Bill. She has been attending meetings, with talks underway between the County and other cities. Ail representatives are discussing how to divide up the funds. $156,000 is to be divided between everyone involved. It appears Port Angeles will fare quite well in this endeavor. A complete report on this subject is forthcoming. Major tasks must be completed in the first year. Mayor Sargent addressed the subject of Initiative 547, which will be on the ballot. It is strongly opposed by the Association of Washington Cities, as control is being taken out of the hands of local government and put into regional control. It would cost $160 million, so there may be an increase in taxes. Council was of the consensus that everyone should be in opposition to this bill. BREAK The meeting recessed for a break at 8:45 P.M. and reconvened at 9:00 P.M. X ADJOURN TO EXECUTIVE SESSION Mayor Sargent adjourned the meeting to executive session at 9:00 P.M. to discuss litigation and real estate matters. Length of time, 30 to 45 minutes. XI RETURN TO OPEN SESSION The meeting returned to open session at approximately 9:45 P.M. -9- 1702 CITY COUNCIL MEETING September 18, 1990 XII ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at approximately 9:47 P.M. -10-
