MATTERS/
PROCLAMATIONS:
WORK SESSION: 1. Bonneville Power Administration Wholesale Power Contract Presentation
Bonneville Power Mayor Doyle opened the subject of contract negotiations with the Bonneville Power
Administration Wholesale Administration. Public Works & Utilities Director Cutler then introduced Larry
Power Contract Dunbar, the City's new Power Resource Manager. Scott McLain, Deputy Director of
Power Systems, advised the Council that the new contract period for the power supply
would be October, 2001, to September, 2006. It is anticipated that the proposed
contract would be brought to the Council at one of its October meetings.
With the use of the overhead projector, Deputy Director McLain explained that the City
has historically purchased the majority of its power supply from the Bonneville Power
Administration. As a non-profit public utility, the City qualifies as a preference
customer, which means Port Angeles is entitled to purchase priority firm power at the
lowest finn power rate. Deputy Director McLain explained that, during the last rate
proceedings in 1996, the market prices were very low. The City took advantage of the
opportunity to purchase market priced power at a very low price. In addition, the City
chose to extend that power purchase two years into the 2001 - 2006 contract period.
Using a graph, Deputy Director McLain summarized the Port Angeles load and the
average purchase per year. The contract with Avista (formerly Washington Water
Power in Spokane) will enable the City to purchase power at a very inexpensive rate
which should save the City approximately $700,000 during that two-year period. The
City entered into an agreement in February of this year to provide Elwha replacement
power for Daishowa through the BPA.
Deputy Director McLain indicated the market prices have increased dramatically, and
they are no longer competitive with Bonneville, so the most economical supply would
be from Bonneville. He discussed the process involved in the contract negotiations with
Bonneville and how the rate case is set. In reviewing the contract issues, Deputy
Director McLain noted the City can choose a 5-year or a 10-year contract. If the City
were to enter into a 10-year contract, the City would be guaranteed the lowest PF rates
established in the 2007 rate case. However, the down side would be that the rate may
be higher than market rates at the time. If the City were to enter into a 5-year contract,
the City could purchase market resources, but the PF power received from Bonneville

WORK SESSION: may not be at the lowest rate. There may also be a tiered rate at the time. Deputy
(Cont'd) Director McLain advised the Council that staff is recommending a 10-year contract in
order to preserve the City's long-term right to the lowest PF power. Issues such as the
Bonneville Power WPSS bonds, which will begin to be paid off in 2014, will make Bonneville power
Administration Wholesale much less expensive. Another issue to be considered is that new power, which could
Power Contract (Cont'd) ease some of the lack of power in the northwest, is coming in higher than the Bonneville
rates.
An additional issue for consideration is the conservation and renewables discount. To
encourage and support the development of conservation projects and renewable
resources, Bonneville is offering a discount of one-half percent mill per kilowatt hour
for all BPA purchases. Deputy Director McLain indicated this could amount to about
$300,000 per year. If the City were to take advantage of this discount, it would need
to reevaluate the conservation program which has been operating at a minimal level
most recently.
Deputy Director McLain advised the Council that environmentally preferred power may
be added to the power supply with very little advance notice. While it is usually more
expensive, some retail customers may prefer this type of power on the basis of
protecting the environment. Customers will be surveyed in this regard to determine if
there is sufficient support to purchase this product.
The Council was informed of the cost recovery adjustment clause, which is a temporary
upward adjustment to the rates instituted if the accumulated net revenues of Bonneville
fall below a certain level. This clause has been in most of the City's past contracts with
Bonneville, and its purpose is to assure payment to the Federal Treasury of loans taken
out to finance Bonneville's capital projects. Although this clause has never been
triggered, Deputy Director McLain noted the clause may be used during the rate case.
Discussion followed, with questions being raised on the issue of environmentally
preferred power, the timeframe for £mal payments on the WPSS bonds, and the fact the
City will likely see an increase in rates given the pressure on salmon recovery. In
responding to an inquiry on the contract with Louisville Power & Gas, Deputy Director
McLain indicated the contract extends into 2003 and is a contract purchased by Avista.
He reiterated this report was for informational purposes, and that the contract will be
presented to the Council for consideration in October. Discussion was also held as to
the expected growth in the next seven years. Deputy Director McLain indicated the
City has factored in a 1/2% per year growth factor on the residential and commercial
side into the expected load.
Olympic Air Pollution 2. Presentation by Olympic Air Pollution Control Authority re. State Imposed
Control Authority re. State Burn Ban
Imposed Bum Ban
Fire ChiefMcKeen introduced Mr. Craig Weckesser, Public Information Officer for the
Olympic Air Pollution Control Authority, who was present to inform the Council of the
permanent bum ban to be implemented as of January 1,2001. Chief McKeen indicated
the burn ban is a result of the 1991 Washington State Clean Air Act which was enacted
to curtail, if not reduce, the State's air pollution. The law requires that this permanent
bum ban be implemented on a phased approach, with the more urbanized and populated
areas being targeted as of January 1, 2001. Port Angeles, to include the Urban Growth
Area, is included in the ban as of that date. Chief McKeen indicated this ban will
impact those individuals who bum yard debris, as well as developers who burn debris
from land clearing.
Mr. Weckesser provided information relative to the OAPCA and informed the Council
that the Clean Air Act was passed in the interest of limiting outdoor buming to the
greatest extent possible in order to protect public health. The Olympic Air Pollution
Control Authority is responsible for implementation of the Act in this particular area.
Mr. Weckesser indicated it was his plan to share some effective ways of dealing with
the waste stream and to explore ways ofparmering with organizations in the community
who can help in the public education process. The OAPCA, by working with various
fire departments, has produced a variety of educational materials for this purpose. Port
Angeles and its Urban Growth Area is one of five areas in the OAPCA jurisdiction in
which the bum ban will become effective the first of the year. Mr. Weckesser indicated
the OAPCA is working with each of the entities to identify the best process to inform
the citizens of ways to address the alternatives to outdoor burning. Mr. Weckessor
stressed the importance ofparmering with the affected communities to achieve the goal
CITY COUNCIL MEETING t~2 86
September 19, 2000
WORK SESSION: of educating the public on this issue.
(Cont'd)
With the use of the overhead projector and the assistance of Firefighter Jeff Abram, Mr.
Olympic Air Pollution Weckesser reviewed in detail the reasons for and the various components of the bum
Control Authority re. State ban. He also reviewed the types of fires that would still be allowed, as well as the types
Imposed Burn Ban of fires that would be allowed with a permit from the proper authority.
(Cont'd)
Fire Chief McKeen informed the Council that the Fire Department plans to educate the
public on the specifics of the burn rules, as well as the alternatives to burning.
Information is being included in the next City newsletter, which is scheduled for
distribution in October. The City's web site includes a section on the open burning
rules and alternatives. Chief McKeen felt the burn ban would have a significant impact
on those industries involved in land clearing. Therefore, the Fire Department is
planning an openth forulTl for the members of the Home Builders' Assoclatmn.' ' to be held
on October 24 at 5:30 p.m. A second forum will be held that same evening at 7:00
p.m. on the issue of burning yard debris.
In the ensuing discussion, Mr. Weckesser clarified that fire wood burned for home
heating would still be allowed, but he cautioned that the wood must be untreated.
Discussion was held on possible position changes by the Department of Natural
' Resources on land clearing and burning in the rural areas. Mayor Doyle noted there
will be an increase in the amount of materials available for composting, and he felt the
City may need to prepare for such an increase as it pursues composting at the Landfill.
Manager Quinn inquired as to enforcement action that may be taken against violators,
and Mr. Weckesser indicated the OAPCA plans to work closely with local fire
departments on air quality issues; however, the ultimate enforcement responsibility rests
with the Olympic Air Pollution Control Authority. Brief discussion was held with
regard to how the OAPCA receives its funding, after which Mr. Weckesser was thanked
for his presentation.
LATE ITEMS TO BE Councilman Williams informed the Council of his attendance at a meeting of the
PLACED ON THIS OR Clallam Transit Board of Directors at which time discussion was held on the matter of
FUTURE AGENDA: the upcoming election on Initiative 745. Due to the negative consequences of this
initiative's passage, he inquired as to whether the City Council might wish to take a
position on the initiative. It was noted that Initiative 722 would also have a significant
impact and should be addressed as well. Attorney Knutson advised the Council that,
before any position could be taken by the Council, a notice must be provided to the
public giving them the opportunity to provide input on the subject, whether in support
or in opposition. After further discussion, it was agreed by consensus that the two
initiatives will be placed on the October 3 agenda and that appropriate notice will be
provided to seek public input from both sides of the issues. Staff was asked to prepare
a resolution opposing passage of the two initiatives.
Gary Gleason, a member of the Non-Motorized Committee, thanked the Council and
staff for the sidewalk work done on 'T' Street, as well as the work being done on 8th
Street. Mr. Gleason noted the Council agenda item relative to grant applications for
Front and First Streets, which he indicated has been one of the committee's highest
priorities. He thanked Council for attention to non-motorized needs on this particular
project. Mr. Gleason noted another agenda item having to do with the project on
Lauridsen Boulevard, and he did not see any reference to bicycle lanes, striping, and
non-motorized transport, and he urged the City to make sure these items are included
in the project.
Mr. Gleason, as a follow-up to the last time he addressed the Council, contacted Clallam
Transit and has been placed on the mailing list as relates to the Gateway Project. Mr.
Gleason further stated that, on the matter of the Francis Street Park, he hasn't seen any
plans to include bike access or bicycle racks for the project. He again urged the City
Council to be certain the non-motorized needs are met. Mr. Gleason recently traveled
to Victoria where he noticed a water fountain that drained to a drinking place for dogs,
and then ultimately drained to water the plants. He suggested that as a future
consideration for use in Port Angeles.
At this time, due to illness and associated voice problems, 'Mayor Doyle asked
Councilman Wiggins to chair the meeting.

planned to extend the mapping to the Elwha River. Some of the costs will be singled
out and charged for reimbursement to the Federal Government. City Engineer
Kenworthy explained that it was originally planned to spend $50,000 for each update
to the maps every two years; however, in the interest of saving money, it was decided
to wait for the update until now. The maps prove to be extremely helpful in land use
issues. Manager Quinn also pointed out that the maps will be helpful in annexation

carried unanimously.
CITY COUNCIL Councilman Williams attended a meeting of the Peninsula Regional Transportation
COMMITTEE Planning Organization, at which time discussion was held on the Blue Ribbon
REPORTS: Committee. The Committee passed on such issues as streets of locaI and statewide
significance; as well as routes that come into play when considering bridge expansion,
such as the City's Lauridsen Boulevard bridge project. Planning Director Collins
interjected the City needs to become familiar with the recommendations of the Blue
Ribbon Commission on Transportation, as there is a question about timing and whether
or not the individual jurisdictions should be responding or whether the RTPO should
be responding. He referred to a letter from the Southwest RTPO, addressing less the
recommendations and more the needs of the Southwest RTPO. The Peninsula RTPO
is looking for individual cities and counties to formulate their own response, which the
City is in the process of doing at this point. Director Collins suggested the possibility
of a work session to consider the Blue Ribbon recommendations. He noted that the
main thrust of the recommendations would put more money towards congestion in areas
such as the Puget Sound area and make it more difficult for outlying and rural areas to
compete for funds.
Councilman Williams also attended Port Angeles Works!, a tour of the Carnegie
Library, and the Clallam Transit meeting.
Councilman Campbell attended a FairPoint Communications seminar, along with other
Councilmembers and staff. FairPoint conducted a useful seminar on a community
development project called BridgeWorks. Councilman'Campbell felt this to be a tested,
successful process with some rather spectacular results. He noted that it requires a
different type of thinking and is an opportunity to build collaboration among those
committed to do so. BridgeWorks advocates what the City already has to create new
development opportunities in the community, and it can be used at any level in the
community. Councilman Campbell also attended the Port Angeles Works! Committee
meeting, at which t/me an update was received from DenRee Products on the E-nabled
Visions Tour. It is expected that the first report to the Council will be submitted by the
end of October. Councilman Campbell reported that the Olympic Air Pollution Control
Authority Board met and retired the Executive Director; Craig Weckesser was
appointed Interim Executive Director.

COMMITTEE welcomed the Story Tellers, and conducted a ribbon-cutting at the new Skipper's.
REPORTS: (Cont'd)
Councilmember Erickson had no report. Councilman Wiggins participated in the
Economic Development Council Executive Committee meeting. The City Council has
been provided with a report on the upcoming budget year for the EDC, which reveals
that the EDC has lost some funding opportunities which will need to be made up
elsewhere. The Council will need to address whether the City will increase the funding
allocation to the EDC to help make up the shortfall. Councilman Wiggins reported that
the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee met and endorsed the concept of the Public
Development Authority, which will be considered later in the meeting.
ORDINANCES NOT Ordinances Not Requiring Pubffc Hearings:
REQUIRING PUBLIC
HEARINGS: Hurricane Ridge Public Development Authority Agreement / Ordinance
Hurricane Ridge Public Councilman Wiggins introduced the matter of the proposed Hurricane Ridge Public
Development Authority Development Authority and asked Attorney Knutson for further input. Attorney
Agreement / Ordinance Knutson indicated the matter before the Council was a suggestion from the Hurricane
Ridge Winter Sports Club to create a Public Development Authority for the primary
purpose of applying for the concession which is about to expire at the Hurricane Ridge
lodge. Attorney Knutson reviewed the documents in the Council packet and indicated
the Interlocal Agreement with the County would need to be adopted first in that the
County needs to delegate to the City Council the authority to create the PDA outside the
City limits. The County has approved and signed the Interlocal Agreement, which sets
forth the City's assumption of any liability that could accrue to the County for its
limited role in delegating to the City the authority to establish the PDA. Attorney
Knutson indicated the City's liability should be fairly limited in creating and overseeing
the PDA based on a provision in State law which states that any liability exposure is
limited to the assets of the Public Development Authority.
Attorney Knutson continued by stating the next step would be to consider the Ordinance
and the attached Charter and Bylaws. Most of the Ordinance deals with the process for
the City to oversee the PDA, particularly if there are any problems encountered. There
are several options that the City has with regard to dealing with its oversight
responsibility, including the possibility of terminating the Authority or merging it with
another public corporation. Attorney Knutson indicated the Ordinance tries to give the
Council flexibility depending on the types of things that might occur. The Ordinance
includes a ten-day provision for the Mayor to call the first meeting of the Board of
Directors after the Ordinance is adopted and the Charter put into effect. Attorney
Knutson suggested extending this time frame to thirty days in order to give the Council,
the School District, and the County time to nominate their representatives to the Board.
Attorney Knutson indicated this change is on Page 77 of the packet, Section 8. He
suggested another change to the Ordinance on Page 78, Item 9, where it states "...of this
chapter or its charter, which should be corrected to read, "... of this ordinance or its
charter".
Attorney Knutson indicated Manager Quinn has been working closely with the
Hurricane Ridge Winter Sports Club and, at this time, Manager Quinn reviewed the
provision in the Ordinance for seven directors of which the Mayor is to nominate two.
Manager Quinn recommended that he and Councilman Wiggins be nominated to serve
on the Board.
Steve Oliver, representing the Hurricane Ridge Winter Sports Club, expressed
appreciation for the assistance and guidance from City staff throughout this process.
He further noted that the cooperation between the City and the County on this matter
has been outstanding. Mr. Oliver stated that, as a follow-up to an earlier presentation
made to the Council, the creation of a Public Development Authority would' enable the
Hurricane Ridge Winter Sports Club to provide an excellent opportunity for Port
Angeles as a gateway City to the National Park to benefit from the Hurricane Ridge
lodge and the magnificent scenery by hopefully broadening the base for tourism in the
community into the fall, winter, and spring seasons. He felt the lodge and the natural
beauty of the area would serve as a natural attraction.
Mr. Oliver felt that the creation and development of the PDA would allow them to
assure the cormnunity that an important recreational facility would continue to grow and
flourish. He clarified that much more is involved than alpine skiing. Mr. Oliver noted
that the Sports Club's vision is to maintain a relatively small, attractive family-oriented

ORDINANCES.NOT alpine skiing and snowboarding opportunity. However, there is much more to the
REQUIRING PUBLIC vision, as the Club would like to see lodge services expanded, that it remain open during
HEARINGS: the fall, winter, and spring seasons, that they get road clearing to the point it is reliable
(Cont'd) so that people from the community and outlying areas can rely on the road being open.
Mr. Oliver felt that a cooperative effort between the City, County, National Park, and
Hurricane Ridge Public the Winter Sports Club should~assure this goal will be accomplished. Mr. Oliver added
Development Authority other goals as relates to enhanced food and beverage services, a quality gift shop,
Agreement/Ordinance educational programs for youth and the traveling public, as well as expanded
(Cont'd) recreational opportunities for cross country skiers, snow shoers, and hikers.
Discussion followed, with the Council inquiring as to the process utilized in applying
for concession rights. Mr. Oliver explained there will be a competitive selection
process, and he summarized the intent of new federal legislation to expand the number
of bidders for this type of concession. He reviewed for the Council other Public
Development Authorities, such as the Grays Harbor Maritime Museum & Lady
Washington, the Pike Place Market, and the Seattle Art Museum. The PDA would have
no taxing authority, but it does have the ability to issue tax exempt municipal bonds.
Councilman Campbell felt this proposal to be extremely exciting particularly with the
current focus on economic development.
After further discussion, Councilman Campbell moved to approve and authorize the
Mayor to sign the Interlocal Government Agreement with Clallam County for the
Creation and Operation of the I-Iurricane Ridge Public Development Authority.
The motion was seconded by Councilmember Erickson and carried unanimously.
Councilman Wiggins noted the suggested changes made tO the Ordinance by Attorney
Knutson and read the Ordinance by title, entitled
ORDINANCE NO. 3061
AN ORDINANCE relating to the Hurricane Ridge National Park
Concession and creating the Hurricane Ridge Public
Development Authority; approving a charter and initial
bylaws therefor; establishing a Board of Directors to
govern the affairs of the Authority; providing how the
Authority shall conduct its affairs.
Mayor Doyle moved to adopt the Ordinance as corrected and as read by title. The
motion was seconded by Councilmember Erickson and carried unanimously.
Break The meeting was adjourned for a break at 8:05 p.m. and reconvened at 8:20 p.m.
Upon returning from the break, Mayor Doyle introduced the need to consider the
nomination of the City's representatives to the Hurricane Ridge Public Development
Authority Board of Directors. At this time, Mayor Doyle nominated Councilman
Wiggins and Manager Quinn. Attorney Knutson advised the Council that the matter of
confirming all seven nominees will be returned to the Council at its next meeting.
