IV APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF NOVEMBER 6, 1990
Councilman Ostrowski moved to approve the minutes of the regular meeting of
November 6, 1990. Councilman Cornell seconded the motion.
Mayor Sargent requested that under her report submitted on the City's One
Hundredth Birthday Celebration, the minutes reflect that the seed money of
$2,700 was repaid to the City. Also under City Council Committee Reports/Late
Items, the Mayor had reported on a workshop attended with Planning Director
Collins on how to design open growth areas. "Open growth" should be corrected
to read urban growth.
The motion approving the minutes, as corrected, was voted on and carried
unanimously.
V FINANCE
1. Consideration of final payment and acceptance of work for DelGuzzi Drive
LID of $2,563.96, retainage to escrow of $124.55
Mayor Sargent informed Councilmembers this item is still under discussion and
no action is to be taken at this time.
2. Consideration of bid proposals for recycling
Upon direction of the City Council and the recommendation of the Citizens'
Recycle Committee, a Request for Proposals was advertised to ask for bids to
collect recyclables and yard debris at the curbside; to provide the opportunity
to recycle at the Landfill; and to provide commercial cardboard collection for
the City of Port Angeles. Three proposals were received on November 14, 1990,
and it is the recommendation of the Public Works Department that the bids be
referred to the Utility Advisory Committee for further review, comparison, and
recommendation to the City Council.
A motion was made by Councilman Nicholson that the bid proposals for recycling
be referred to the Utility Advisory Committee for further review and
-1-

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
November 20, 1990
recommendation to the City Council as soon as possible. The motion was seconded
by Councilman Hallett.
Discussion followed, with Councilman Cornell expressing concern as to how
committed the public is to the recycling efforts, particularly in view of the
fact a rate increase would be required to have this service provided.
Councilman Nicholson stated citizens have had input in this proposal throughout
the process and support has been very strong.
Public Works Director Pittis indicated if the Utility Advisory Committee comes
forth with a recommendation for a rate increase, it would be advisable for a
public hearing to be held in order to be consistent with past practices.
Mayor Sargent reminded Council it is law requiring this recycling effort.
After limited discussion, a vote was taken on the motion, which carried
unanimously.
Consideration was then given to setting a meeting date for the Utility Advisory
Committee's review of these bid proposals. The meeting was set for Thursday,
November 29, 1990, 4:00 P.M.
3. Consideration of bid award for wire puller/tensioner
The Light Department received authorization from the City Council to solicit
bids for a wire puller/tensioner this past summer. The initial solicitation
produced only one bid and Council, at the recommendation of the Light
Department, rejected the single bid and authorized a solicitation for bids a
second time. The second solicitation produced three bids. It was the
recommendation of the Light Department that the low bid be accepted in spite
of the fact three exceptions to the specifications were noted by the vendor.
A motion was made by Councilman Ostrowski to award the bid for the wire
puller/tensioner to Sherman & Reilly for $29,998, and authorize the Light
Director to enter into a purchase agreement. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Cornell.
Councilman Wight inquired as to whether the other two bidders, having met
specifications, had been given an opportunity to relax the specifications on
their bids in order to be more competitive with the low bidder.
City Light Director Titus indicated it would be difficult for the two higher
bidders to relax their specifications, as this is custom-built equipment and
they would have to bid on the same equipment as previously bid.
Attorney Knutson indicated it was his opinion the City would not face any legal
problems by accepting the low bid with the noted exceptions. It would cost more
money to re-bid the equipment again for no particular purpose, in that this
equipment will meet the needs of the City Light Department quite adequately.
A vote was taken on the motion, which carried unanimously.
VI CONSENT AGENDA
Councilman Hallett moved to accept the items as presented on the Consent Agenda,
including: (1) Request permission to call for bids on (a) 5th & Peabody signal;
(b) 2nd and Cherry guardrail; (2) Out of state travel request - Water/Wastewater
Utility employee; (3) Correspondence from Washington State Liquor Control Board;
(4) Vouchers of $293,072.09; and (5) Payroll of 11/16/90 of $258,102.77. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Ostrowski.
In response to a question from Councilman Hallett, Public Works Director Pittis
indicated the signal at 5th and Peabody should be complete in the spring of next
year. Materials will be ordered immediately but the project will be shut down
for the winter. The 2nd and Cherry guardrail project can be accomplished rather
quickly.
A vote was then taken on the motion, which carried unanimously.
VII ITEMS FROM THE COUNCIL/AUDIENCE TO BE CONSIDERED/PLACED ON THE AGENDA

VIII LEGISLATION
1. PUBLIC HEARING
A. STREET VACATION REQUEST - STV-90(09)5 - WINTERS, East Second Street:
Request to vacate a portion of East Second Street east of Penn Street
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on November 14, 1990, to
consider a request to vacate a portion of the East Second Street right-of-way,
east of Penn Street. It was the recommendation of the Planning Commission to
deny the request.
Mayor Sargent opened the public hearing at 7:40 P.M.
Everett Winters, applicant, 1724 East Second, distributed copies of a letter
to the City Council from Mr. H. M. Ruddell speaking on behalf of the car
dealership being planned for the property known as MacMillan Short Plat. The
letter stated there is no anticipated use for the adjacent Second Street
Extension and it is Ruddell's intention to run a fence on the west property line
running north and south, from the back to the front of the property. Mr.
Winters addressed Council on the need to have someone maintain the right-of-
way, something that has been accomplished by the area property owners for
several years. It was his intention that the City would still have easement
rights in order to maintain water lines, storm drainage, and the like. The area
residents do not want a street and would prefer to have the area vacated so they
can continue maintaining and planting in the area.
Mary Robson, 1328 East Second Street, indicated it would not be in the best
interest of the public to develop a street. It would be beneficial to have this
area vacated, as the area property owners want to maintain the area with
appropriate landscaping, and they also wish to construct a buffer between the
residential and commercial areas. Ms. Robson asked for more consideration and
compromise. She addressed the subject of the public hearing process and her
dissatisfaction with the lack of due consideration given to the citizens
throughout this process. Additionally, she noted her efforts to contact a
department head had gone unheeded - phone calls not returned - and she requested
that City Council give favorable consideration to the request submitted on this
street vacation.
Councilman Cornell inquired as to whether the City plans to put in a street in
that particular section. Planning Director Collins responded there are no such
plans for a street at this time.
Ms. Robson responded to an inquiry from Councilman Cornell in that it is her
desire to work something out with the City so the residents can plant
landscaping and maintain the area in order to provide a buffer. If the City
does not allow the vacation, then it is the feeling of the residents that the
City should maintain the area and be responsible for restoration should any type
of City maintenance work be required.
Consideration was given to the possibility of issuing a right-of-way use permit
and in response to a question from Councilman Hallett, Attorney Knutson
expressed the opinion the City could enter into a long-term agreement with the
property owners which would address their landscaping needs as well as the
City's right-of-way and utility needs.
The public hearing was closed at 7:55 P.M.
Councilman Nicholson expressed concern about the statement Ms. Robson had made
as to being unable to talk to a department head by telephone or appointment.
He indicated that to his knowledge, all directors are available to the public
and he asked that this matter be pursued with Ms. Robson to obtain more
information.
A motion was made by Councilman Hallett to concur with the Planning Commission's
recommendation to deny the street vacation request, citing the following
findings and conclusions: Findings: (1) The City maintains a 2~ waterline
through the area serving Lots 1 through 8 of Block 177. The City Light
Department maintains utilities in the area adjacent to Lots 4 through 8; (2)
The Department of Public Works has indicated that property owners in the area
have indicated a possible need for storm drainage facilities, which could be
located in the Second Street right-of-way; (3) The right-of-way could be used
1740
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
November 20, 1990
to serve as secondary access to the rear of Lot 4 of the MacMillan short plat,
which currently has access from Highway l01 East; Con___clusion: (A) The proposed
street vacation is not in the publ~d~i'~n~interest and would not be a public
benefit. Further, staff was directed to execute an agreement with the property
owners wherein they be allowed to plant landscaping to create a buffer, with
the provision the property owners remove plantings when the City must do work
in the public right-of-way. The motion was seconded by Councilman Nicholson
and carried unanimously.
2 Planning Commission Minutes of November 14, 1990
A. PARKING VARIANCE PKV-90(ll)5 - CAMMACK, Southwest corner of Vine
and Second Streets.
The parking variance request was submitted for a reduction in the required
number of parking spaces to be provided in association with a pharmaceutical
and associated medical supply facility from the required 60 spaces to 32 spaces.
It was the recommendation of the Planning Commission to approve the parking
variance.
Accordingly, a motion was made by Councilman Hallett and seconded by Councilman
Ostrowski, to concur with the recommendation of the Planning Commission citing
the following conditions, findings, and conclusions: Conditions: (1) The
public will not be allowed access to the basement portion of the facility, and
all of the areas accessible by the public will meet the off-street parking
requirements; (2) Parking will be provided for any office space per the Parking
Ordinance, #1588; Findings: (A) The Port Angeles Off-Street Parking Code
(Chapter 14.40 PAHC) requires a minimum of one parking space for every 200
square feet of building floor area for retail establishments; (B) The proposed
12,000 square-foot pharmacy and storage facilityrequired 60 off-street parking
spaces; (C) The applicant has requested a reduction in the required number of
parking spaces from 60 to 32; (D) Other businesses located within the vicinity
have been granted parking variances and allowed to subtract storage areas from
floor areas requiring parking; Conclusions: (1) The variance would not be a
grant of special privilege, as other businesses in the vicinity have been
granted parking variances and allowed to subtract storage areas from the
required floor area; (2) The size, shape or topography of the lot does not limit
the number of parking spaces which could be provided; (3) Concerns of the
Department of Public Works that future sales from the basement area could be
materially detrimental to the public welfare are alleviated by the condition
#1; (4) The proposal, as conditioned, could meet the criteria for granting a
parking variance. The motion was voted on and carried unanimously.
B. SHORT PLAT APPEAL - SHP-90(08)10 HENDRICKSON, Lauridsen Boulevard
east of Lincoln Park.
Melvin Hendrickson had appealed a condition of the short plat approval in that
the City is the major property owner in the area and his objection is to the
improvements being required as a condition of preliminary short plat approval
which would upgrade his property with the surrounding property not being
upgraded likewise. Mr. Hendrickson had indicated the City has no plan to
develop the surrounding properties, creating an island of his property
surrounding by unimproved area. He had volunteered to sign an LID non-protest
agreement in the event of improvements at a later date. It was the
recommendation of the Planning Commission to uphold the appeal by the applicant.
Discussion followed, with Councilman Cornell referring to similar proceedings
at the City Council level, and he questioned what is different on this
particular short plat appeal.
Planning Director Collins responded that staff and the Planning Commission have
remained consistent on these issues throughout. Lauridsen is an improved right-
of-way and staff is requesting completion of the improvements to arterial
standards. In the other situation recently considered, there were no
improvements at all. Director Collins indicated that as the area is developed
the City will also meet standards. However, there are no such immediate plans.
A motion was made by Councilman Wight to accept the Planning Commission's
recommendation to uphold the appeal, citing the following condition, findings,
and conclusions: Condition: The applicant shall be required to sign an LID
non-protest agreement. Findings: (1) The south side of Lauridsen Boulevard
is not in the City limits and there are no future plans for annexation or
improvement; (2) The City of Port Angeles is the major property owner on the
-4-
1741
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
November 20, 1990
north side of West Lauridsen Boulevard and has no plans for improvement; (3)
West Lauridsen Boulevard is classified as a main arterial, not a residential
street; (4) There are no provisions for storm sewers in the area; Conclusions:
(A) The proposed short plat is consistent with the Port Angeles Comprehensive
Plan and Zoning Code; (B) The proposed short plat, as conditioned, is consistent
with the Port Angeles Short Plat Ordinance (Chapter 16.04 PAMC), and the
Washington State Subdivision Act (Chapter 58.17 RCW); (C) Approval of the
proposed short plat provides for the public health, safety and welfare of the
community and serves the public use and interest; (D) Placing approximately
450 lineal feet of curb and gutter in this area could cause serious water damage
and erosion to the adjacent property. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Nicholson.
Lengthy discussion followed, with Council being advised the applicant did not
wish to spend the necessary funds at this time in order to install curb and
gutter.
Councilman Hallett inquired as to how long the City would accept this as a valid
reason for not complying with requirements of short plats.
Larry Leonard, Chairman of the Planning Commission, indicated the Commission
felt it unreasonable to require installation of curb and gutter for a 200-foot
parcel. The financial aspect was not a consideration during the deliberations
of the Planning Commission. It was the Commission's feeling the area could be
upgraded when the City upgraded the adjacent property.
The question was then raised as to whether the City should be required to
upgrade its property.
Councilman Cornell offered a friendly amendment in the form of Condition 2 to
require the property owner to bring the area to standard at such time as an LID
comes into being, or at the time the City brings the Lincoln Park area to
standard. This amendment was acceptable with Councilmen Wight and Nicholson.
The ensuing discussion involved the issue of enforcement of such a condition.
Attorney Knutson indicated it might be difficult to enforce this condition at
the time the curbs and gutters would have to be installed, particularly if new
property owners should be involved, because the City might have to take legal
action to enforce the condition.
Councilman Hallett expressed concern about making exceptions such as this.
Either the short plat requirements must be changed or the City must uphold the
requirements as they stand.
However, Councilman Cornell felt this is an issue as to what is in the public
interest. This is why the appeal process is available and Councilman Cornell
clarified the City may require the upgrades in the future, which would prove
to be in the public interest.
Attorney Knutson added that it is his opinion the appeal process should
generally not be used as a mechanism to determine whether or not the required
standards of the ordinance should be applied.
After lengthy discussion, a vote was taken on the motion, which carried by a
majority vote, with Councilman Hallett voting "No".
C. Acceptance of Minutes
A motion was made by Councilman Nicholson and seconded by Councilman Cornell
to accept and place on file the Planning Commission minutes of November 14,
1990. The motion was voted on and carried unanimously.
3. Setting a special meeting date to discuss Growth Management Act (GM_A)
requirements
Mayor Sargent reviewed the passage by the State Legislature of the Growth
Management Act of 1990, which became effective July 1, 1990.. This act sets out
specific plan requirements and deadlines for mandated jurisdictions to meet.
The City Council has established a Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee to
facilitate work on these required plan elements. The State of Washington has
provided financial assistance, subject to the proposed contract presented to
Council. It is recommended that the City Council set a special meeting for
-5-
1742
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
November 20, 1990
November 27, 1990, to discuss the Growth Management Act requirements with City
staff.
After lengthy consideration, a motion was made by Councilman Nicholson and
seconded by Councilman Cornell to set a special meeting date of Tuesday,
November 27, 1990, 7:00 P.M., to discuss the requirements of the Growth
Management Act.
Additionally, Planning Director Collins indicated a representative of the
Regional Transportation Planning Organization would be available on November
27th or 28th to discuss requirements of the Growth Management Act specifically
pertaining to transportation.
After lengthy consideration, it was the consensus of the Councilmembers that
the representative of the RTPO be invited to join the Planning Commission and
the City Council in a joint session on Wednesday, November 28, 1990, 7:00 P.M.,
the regular meeting time of the Planning Commission.
The motion was voted on and carried unanimously.
Mayor Sargent reported the State is providing financial assistance to perform
under the Growth Management Act and the City has a contract from the State
Department of Community Development wherein Port Angeles is the agent for
dispensing funds to the County, Sequim, and Forks. However, the contract sets
forth a requirement of compliance with the agreement and requires Port Angeles
to complete certain paperwork and accounting in this regard.
Attorney Knutson has drafted an agreement between the City of Port Angeles,
Clallam County, Sequim, and Forks wherein Port Angeles would be held harmless
and the other entities agree to submit appropriate documents to the State as
to the appropriate utilization of the funds disbursed to those entities.
A motion was made by Councilman Ostrowski and seconded by Councilman Wight to
approve the Intergovernmental Agreement with the Washington State Department
of Community Development, subject to the Intergovernmental Agreement with
Clallam County, Sequim, and Forks.
After a brief discussion, the motion was voted on and carried unanimously.
A motion was then made by Councilman Hallett to authorize the Mayor to sign
the Intergovernmental Agreement, Growth Management Act Financial Assistance
Program. The motion was seconded by Councilman Nicholson and carried
unanimously.
BREAK
Mayor Sargent recessed the meeting for a break at 8:50 P.M. At this time,
Deputy Mayor Hallett presented to Mayor Sargent, on behalf of the City
Councilmembers, a Certification of Recognition, honoring her for her dedicated
commitment to the City by chairing the City's One Hundredth Birthday Celebration
Committee. The meeting reconvened at 9:10 P.M.
4. Request for formation of a committee to review architects' proposals for
the Senior Center
An advertisement requesting architects' proposals for Senior Center work has
been published and to date, 31 RFP's have been requested and sent. Proposals
are due to the City no later than 5:00 P.M. on November 30, 1990. It is
recommended that a Committee review the proposals in order to reduce the number
of prospective contractors to a manageable list. The finalists would then be
invited to present their proposals to the review committee for final evaluation
and recommendation of a contractor to Council. It is recommended that this
review committee be comprised of two members of the City Council, two members
of the Senior Center Advisory Board, the Director of Parks & Recreation, the
Senior Center Manager, one member of the Public Works Department, one member
of the Park Board, and the City Manager.
A motion was made by Councilman Nicholson to approve the committee membership
as presented and to appoint Mayor Sargent and Councilman Cornell to serve on
the Committee to review the architects' proposals. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Hallett.
-6-
1743
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
November 20, 1990
The name of George Pettit was submitted as an interested party who would like
to participate in the review committee efforts.
Parks & Recreation Director Brodhun indicated all proposals will be reviewed
and evaluated and a list developed as to which proposals should be considered
in greater depth. The review committee would then schedule times to interview
the architects and make recommendations for submission to the City Council.
It is hoped the reviews would take place between December 3rd and 14th and,
hopefully, a contract can be awarded in January, 1991.
The motion was voted on and carried unanimously.
5, Discussion of multi-family housing or other affordable housing
Councilman Wight had submitted a letter to the members of the City Council
expressing his concern over the status of the present multi-family housing
situation in Port Angeles. Councilman Wight indicated he feels the City Council
should be taking a role of leadership in establishing multi-family housing
zoning in order to allow for the appropriate and guided growth of Port Angeles.
He felt that past actions have made a statement that no multi-family housing
will be allowed in the Port Angeles area. He expressed his opinion that this
matter should be addressed immediately by the City Council with the devotion
of staff time, Planning Commission time, and City Council time to possibly work
on perfecting the mechanism of the PRD Ordinance which would allow affordable
multi-family housing. It is important that the image of the City be altered
as soon as possible, as there is consensus that the best interests of the City
and its residents would be served by providing for additional housing growth
in Port Angeles.
Councilman Nicholson endorsed Councilman Wight's letter and fully supported his
desires.
Mayor Sargent echoed the same opinions and noted we have been exporting older
and younger citizens from Port Angeles; it is time to establish a mechanism
whereby they will stay in the City.
Councilman Hallett questioned the definition of "affordable" in these
considerations.
Councilman Cornell spoke on behalf of Councilman Lemon, who is absent this
evening and who strongly favors whatever changes necessary in order to allow
more multi-family housing.
Councilman Lemon supported the concept of an ad hoc committee to address the
subject to make recommendations on improving the PRD ordinance or to possibly
consider an intermediate-type zone to allow for multi-family housing, etc.
Councilman Lemon had hoped this ad hoc committee could be comprised of two to
three Councilmembers and staff and other interested citizens willing to
participate in this effort, with a recommendation coming forth in three to four
months.
Offering to serve on this committee were Councilmen Nicholson and Wight;
Councilman Lemon had offered to serve as chairman.
Bill Lindberg was present and spoke on behalf of a sub-committee that had been
formulated in an advisory capacity to the Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee.
This sub-committee has been addressing issues pertinent to housing and
transportation but has been awaiting a sense of direction from the City Council.
It was suggested that the ad hoc committee, as envisioned by Councilman Lemon,
could join forces with this sub-committee in order to discuss and formulate
recommendations. The recommendations, again, might include changes in the PRD
ordinance, rezoning some areas to some type of intermediate zone to allow for
multi-family housing, and other possible considerations.
The City Councilmembers then, Councilmen Lemon, Nicholson, and Wight, will join
the membership of the housing advisory sub-committee to formulate
recommendations for presentation to Council. This sub-committee might also
include other interested parties, such as Dana Siebel and Mike Doherty.
Planning Commission Chairman Leonard requested ~at he, too, be allowed to
participate in the committee's deliberations.
-7-
1744
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
November 20, 1990
By consensus, the City Council and its designees agreed to refer this matter
in joint effort to the Housing ~Adwisory!i Sub-Committee, as discussed, for
recommendations to be returned to Council as soon as possible.
6. Presentation on Comp. Housing Needs Survey - Karen McCormick
Karen McCormick, Senior Vice-President and Director of Lending for First Federal
Savings, addressed the Council, also as a member of the board of the Clallam-
Jefferson Community Action Council. Ms. McCormick indicated the need for
housing has become very apparent the last two years in the Clallam-Jefferson
area, which is extremely difficult to quantify. It is important and timely for
a housing needs survey to be conducted for Clallam and Jefferson Counties. The
results of such a survey would prove to be a valuable tool for government and
industry planning, growth projections, and in the implementation of the
requirements of the Growth Management Act. It has been learned the State is
willing to fund one-half of the cost of conducting such an in-depth housing
needs survey. Different financing mechanisms; i.e., revenue bond programs, are
available to subsidize affordable housing once the needs are identified. The
cost of conducting this survey is approximately $55,000. The Clallam-Jefferson
County Community Action Council, together with First Federal Savings of Port
Angeles, and Clallam County EDC, is now in the midst of raising funds to make
up the difference between the projected cost of $55,000 and the amount the State
Housing Trust Fund would provide of $22,500. Ms. McCormick presented the
request for proposals being submitted for State funding. Indications are that
the State has preliminarily viewed this project quite favorably. In its efforts
to raise the funds to make up the difference, Ms. McCormick indicated it is
important to receive a commitment by the end of the year, as time is of the
essence in submitting the RFP.
Lengthy discussion followed, with Manager Pomeranz indicating the funds for such
a project could be identified in the forthcoming budget discussions. The
request submitted is for a donation from the City of $5,000 to $10,000.
A motion was then made by Councilman Hallett directing the City Manager and the
Planning Director to review the request of the Clallam-Jefferson County
Community Action Council, and return to Council with a recommendation as to
whether the City should support this project and the financial amount the City
might be willing to submit. The motion was seconded by Councilman Ostrowski
and carried unanimously.
A motion was made by Councilman Hallett and seconded by Councilman Cornell to
complete the remainder of the agenda. A vote was taken on the motion, which
carried unanimously.
7, Consideration of changing Council meeting date due to New Year's Day being
the first Tuesday in 1991
A motion was made by Councilman Wight and seconded by Councilman Cornell to
conduct the first City Council meeting of 1991 on Wednesday, January 2, 1991,
at 7:00 P.M. The motion carried unanimously.
8. Request for letter of support for continued funding of Clallam County DWI
Task Force
Consideration was given to a request for City Council support for the Clallam
County DWI Task Force's request for continued funding by the State in the next
biennium.
A motion was made by Councilman Hallett and seconded by Councilman Nicholson
to approve the proposed letter of support to the Governor for continued funding
for the Clallam County DWI Task Force. The motion was voted on and carried
unanimously.
9. Request from Salvation Army to use old City Hall for collection and
distribution of food and gifts during the holidays
Consideration was given to a request submitted by Lt. 3aynes of the Salvation
Army to utilize old City Hall for its Christmas operation. In the past, the
Salvation Army has used old City Hall for the collection and distribution of
food and gifts.
-8-
1745
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
November 20, 1990
A motion was made by Councilman Ostrowski to allow the Salvation Army to use
old City Hall for the collection and distribution of food and toys during the
holiday season, with necessary clean-up and the last day of utilization to be
approximately December 29, 1990. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Nicholson.
In response to an inquiry from Councilman Cornell, Attorney Knutson agreed that
it would be appropriate for an agreement to be executed between the City and
the Salvation Army which would also require proof of insurance.
A motion was made by Councilman Hallett and seconded by Councilman Nicholson
directing the City Attorney to write an agreement which would also require
proof of insurance, and authorizing the Mayor to sign such an agreement. The
motion was voted on and carried unanimously.
Brief discussion followed, with Councilman Cornell indicating it is important
that the City Council make a decision as to the long-term and short-term plans
for old City Hall and the requirements for the use of the building.
After limited discussion, the motion for the use of City Hall was voted on and
carried unanimously.
IX CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS/LATE ITEMS
