Carnegie Library Project - Renovation or Restoration CONSIDERATIONS: (Cont'd) Following the Mayor's review of the packet information, Councilman Wiggins broached the issue of Federal and State funding and the fact the City could proceed to Carnegie Library Project - a certain point with renovation and then apply for funding for restoration. Ensuing Renovation or Restoration discussion and clarification determined that such applications would likely result in a two-year waiting period, with no guarantee that funding would be available for restoration. Manager Quinn noted that some grant funds have been frozen, so he felt the City should move ahead and perhaps designate a certain element of the project for restoration. He further expressed the opinion that the building should be completed and put to good use as timely as possible. Councilmember McKeown asked the Mayor if the Council could receive public comment on the issue. Mayor Doyle then referenced letters just submitted to the City, the first being from the Clallam County Historical Society Executive Committee expressing support for the City's staff recommendation for the renovation of the library, adding as much restoration as possible with available funds.

Director Cutler advised the Council that Stuart Bonney, Olympic Designs Works, has had a significant amount of experience in restoration and has been engaged with the local Historical Society as well as those on the State level about aspects of the Library.

She supported the Renovation or Restoration suggestion of a review committee and stated that people are waiting to see that (Cont'd) something is done. Ms. Mowery indicated there had been a bond issue approximately twenty years ago that promised restoration and money was to have been put aside for that propose. She stated that it is more cost effective to restore than to un-do renovation for the purpose of restoring. Finance Director Ziomkowski recalled that the election for the Library bond issue was passed in 1994. Manager Quinn offered to research this matter to discover the correct wording as to whether the funds were directed toward restoration or improvements. Frank Ducceschi, 531 E. Ahlvers Road, Vice President of the Historical Society, addressed the resolution the Historical Society passed that day, a copy of which had been provided to the Council, agreeing with the compromise of proceeding with renovation in order to complete the library project. Mr. Ducceschi expressed the Society's support of the City's dilemma and suggested that the staff keep in mind the possibility ofrestoring windows, doors, cabinets, etc. in the future. Following questions and answers from Councilmembers, Mr. Ducceschi closed by stating that the Society would like to see this project finished. Mike Doherty, 617 South B, thanked the Council for its partnership with the Historical Society and for moving ahead on this project. He expressed hope that the renovation would not entail changes that are irretrievable, and he also addressed the impact of these buildings on tourism and promotions, emphasizing that the Society also has a concern that the building be put to proper use so that it may remain a landmark of the community. Councilmember McKeown moved to direct the Public Works & Utilities Director to proceed with the preparation of construction documents to accomplish the renovation of the Carnegie Library as presented in the packet as a renovation project with as much restoration work as can be accomplished with appropriated funds. Councilmember Erickson seconded the motion. Mayor Doyle, before the vote, stressed that the issue is finishing the project and urged Staff not to delay in contract negotiations. Councilman Williams also referred to past projects that had been delayed; he stressed the importance of not completing renovations that cannot be undone in the future. The Councilmembers debated the merits of the motion, seeking clarification as to its intent. After further discussion, Clerk Upton read the motion was originally set forth by Councilmember McKeown. Councilman Williams, upon clarification, stated he would vote against the motion. Councilmember McKeown called for the question. A vote was taken on the motion, which carried 6 - 1, with Councilman Williams voting in opposition. Break Mayor Doyle recessed the meeting.for a break at 8:15 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 8:35 p.m. Waterfront Trail Extension 3. Olympic Peninsula Bicyclists Support for Waterfront Trail Extension Through Through Rayonier Mill Rayonier Mill Site Based on a request by the bicyclists at the previous Council meeting, Mayor Doyle opened discussion. Representing the Real Estate Committee, Councilman Hulett reviewed the issue of fencing required along the trail and the prevailing question as to whether grant funds could be used for a temporary trail. Director Connelly stated that staffis currently working on the most cost-efficient manner to complete the trail which involves an easement of 7,000+ linear feet. The City has a grant in place for $250,000, -6- CITY COUNCIL MEETING 4567 December 3, 2001 OTHER with City matching funds of $50,000, but once these funds have been appropriated for CONSIDERATIONS: completion of the temporary trail, the funding agency will consider the trail to be (Cont'd) permanent. If, in the future, the route moves or the property is sold, the City cannot ask again for federal funds. Director Connelly then summarized the details of the trail and Waterfront Trail Extension cost-estimates for improvements, stating that sufficient funds are available to complete Through Rayonier Mill the trail. (Cont'd) Rich James, 2813 East Bay Street, the County Senior Transportation Planner, was asked by the Peninsula Trails Coalition to inform the Council about current progress on the Trail and the need for the linkage. Mr. James complimented the Council for the work on trails within the Peninsula. After reviewing current work being done, he explained that not much work remained on the Rayonier site since the County had completed a portion; he concurred with Director Connelly that remaining work could be done at a very reasonable cost. The most expensive part of this project is the fencing, which can be moved at a later date. Mr. James stressed the importance of completion because of the tourism value, and he closed by urging the Council to complete the project. Cam Field, 123 Forest Avenue, representing the Board of the Olympic Peninsula Bicyclists, presented a petition to the Council showing 586 signatures, 82% of which belong to City residents, and he asked the Council to open up the Rayonier properties with a temporary floating easement. Mentioning the diversity of people interested in cycling, Mr. Field stressed the impact this trail would have on tourism and the economy. Following questions from the Council, Mr. Field concluded by stating that the cyclists are very supportive and giving of their time to volunteer and assist in maintaining current trails and that they would, in response to the Mayor's question, be very willing to assist in the clean-up of the Rayonier site. Jeff Bohman, 3753 Canyon Circle, President of the Board of the Peninsula Trails Commission, began by acknowledging those in the audience in support of the trail and urging the Council to move promptly on the completion of the easement agreement and the trail. Because the City, through agreements with Rayonier on the disposition of the site, worked to ensure that there was a provision for a temporary easement, which constitutes a culmination of that effort on the City's part, it would be inconsistent for the City not to proceed and complete the trail. He then urged the City not to center on the issue of "temporary," but to look at the larger issues of support during the interim period. Mr. Bohman then disclosed that the Coalition is ready to assist the City and other partners in getting the trail completed and that they are looking forward to working with the City on the remaining investment. Gary Gleason, 2211 E. 7~ Ave., speaking personally through his work on the Non- Motorized Advisory Committee and as a member of the County's Trail Advisory Board and member of the Planning Commission, urged the Council not to negate the work the County has been doing and to utilize the existing funds. Mr. Gleason stressed that the work should first center on the l~nnis Creek Road section into the City. Because of his own personal use of the trail, he also stressed the completion of the Francis Street Park access. Using a personal trip as a comparison, it was Mr. Gleason's opinion that upon completion, the continuous trails located within the PeninSula would bring in tourist dollars. Benson Kalahar, 328 West 14th Street, presented his point-of-view as a younger member of the community and as one who, upon completion of his education, wishes to return to the community. Mr. Kalahar stated that many good things could come from the completion of the trail: a method of transportation, a source of income for the City, and a source of pride for residents. Following a clarification of the connection to the Waterfront and Centennial trails, Councilman Williams moved to direct staff to make the appropriate applications -7- 4568 CITY COUNCIL MEETING December 3, 2001 Waterfront Trail Extension to modify the grant so that funds could be used appropriately through the Through Rayonier Mill Rayonier site.

Councilman Wiggins moved to approve the construction of new scorebooths at fields 6 and 7 and a permanent dugout at field 5 at Lincoln Park.
