VII ITEMS FROM THE CITY COUNCIL /AUDIENCE TO BE CONSIDERED /PLACED ON THE AGENDA Erl Hansen, representing the Chamber of Commerce, 121 East Railroad Avenue, requested to speak on Legislative Item No. 5. Councilman Sargent pointed out the picture of the first City Council now hanging on the Council Chamber walls. She noted that sweatshirts and pins for the Centennial Celebration are now for sale. VIII LEGISLATION 1. Farewell Message Mayor McPhee Mayor McPhee wished to make a few remarks, as this was his last official meeting as Mayor of the City of Port Angeles. He discussed the condition of the City, stating that it was in good shape; that the City needed to be taken care of so it would continue to be in good condition in the years to come. He expressed concern that it was starting to get more expensive to live here than it needs to be and if people agreed, they should become involved in local government. He urged the involvement of citizens in local government, as it was a duty of citizens to speak out whether they were in agreement or disagreement with decisions being made. He thanked the people who have supported him in the past; he thanked his adversaries; and lastly, he thanked his wife, Susan Jo McPhee for being there when he needed support. He then proclaimed December 20, 1989, as Susan Jo McPhee Day. 2. Public Hearings A. Zoning Code Amendment CBD. Oak Street Property 1493 CITY COUNCIL MEETING December 19, 1989 Manager Flodstrom noted for the Council that a recommendation has been made by the Planning Commission to postpone action on the rezone of the property, based on the outcome of the Port's hearings amending its Comprehensive Plan and the Planning Commission's review of those recommendations made by the Port Commission; as well as a letter from the Port Commissioners and the Clallam County Economic Development Council requesting that a postponement be considered. The purpose of the postponement would be to allow a committee to be convened under the direction of the EDC for further review of the property, as well as other properties in the immediate area of the Central Business District. Planning Director Collins reviewed the issue before the Council, stating that the Planning Commission chose to continue review of the issue to the January 24, 1990, Planning Commission meeting. Much of the Planning Commission's decision reflects a request by the Port and the Economic Development Council. The options before the Council are to consider rezoning the property from M -2 to CBD and take action on the rezone, or to modify the rezone request and send that information to the Planning Commission. Councilman Lemon asked Attorney Knutson whether it would be proper for the Council to send modifications to the Planning Commission without a public hearing. Attorney Knutson responded that the Council could surd back a modification to the Planning Commission, as the Zoning Code provides that in order for the Council to approve a revised version of the rezone from what is proposed in the public hearing notice, it has to return to the Planning Commission for its recommendation. Mayor McPhee opened the public hearing at 7:27 P.M. There was no public comment. Councilman Wight then moved to continue the public hearing to the February 6, 1990, City Council meeting. Councilman Hallett seconded the motion. Council discussed for clarification the need to continue the public hearing. Councilman Hallett questioned the request from the EDC and the Port of Port Angeles to have the Council become part of the committee to reach a consensus on this issue. He questioned whether this would be precluded because of the continued public hearing. Attorney Knutson responded that the Council is precluded from participation in that type of process, in his opinion, because of the appearance of fairness -2- 1494 CITY COUNCIL MEETING December 19, 1989 doctrine, and suggested that the Council designate staff members to participate, such as the City Manager and /or the Planning Director. Councilman Hallett asked how the Port's Comprehensive Plan presently designates the property. Planning Director Collins responded that it is designated as a cargo storage area and is similar to the City's M -2 uses, which is the City's current zoning on the property. Councilman Hallett asked whether the Council and Planning Commission would be able to hear reports from the staff members who attend the committee meetings. Attorney Knutson suggested that the Council wait and see what happens as the committee progresses. When the Council has a quasi- judicial matter before it, the input must be restricted to what information comes through the public hearing process. Councilman Hallett expressed his frustration on this issue, as this is a critical decision to be made and the Council is a major player. Manager Flodstrom stated the Council must realize that it has the final say on the proposed use, and ultimately will make the final decision on the Shoreline Permit. If the Council, as a body, chooses not to agree with the recommendations of the committee, it is within its right and responsibility to do so, based on the testimony received in the public hearing process. Councilman Sargent felt that the Council was dodging the decision. She asked if Council has the final say, would participation in the committee be jeopardizing the Council's position as far as the quasi judicial decision? Attorney Knutson stated yes, because the committee will be recommending a specific use of the property. If it should require a rezone, the Council will have to make the decision and will have participated in a group which is making a specific recommendation which the Council will be called upon to decide. There are appearance of fairness cases close enough on point that Attorney Knutson felt it was very clear the law would preclude the Council's participation because the members would be expressing pre judgment on the decision. Following further discussion, the question was called and the motion carried unanimously. Councilman Hallett moved that the Council direct the City Manager and the Planning Director to be part of a committee to work with the Port, the Port staff, a representative of the Downtown Business Community, a representative of organized labor, a representative of the timber industry, a representative of the tourism industry, a representative of the Chamber of Commerce, a representative of the State Department of Natural Resources, and an ex- officio moderatpr appointed by the EDC, and to authorize staff to be part of the committee. Councilman Sargent seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. B. Street Vacation Request STV- 89(9)7 Port Angeles School District (Continued from 10 -3 -89: 10- 17 -89: and 11 -89) Manager Flodstrom explained to the Council that Shelter Resources, the agency attempting to buy the Lincoln School building and requiring a street vacation, is in the process of pursuing funding and they are not ready to proceed with the street vacation request. Shelter Resources has requested that the Council postpone the issue indefinitely. Mayor McPhee closed the public hearing, which had been opened at the October 3, 1989, Council meeting, at 7:48 P.M. Councilman Lemon moved to postpone the street vacation request indefinitely, without prejudice. Councilman Sargent seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. 3. Planning Commission Minutes of December 13. 1989 1495 CITY COUNCIL MEETING December 19, 1989 A. Shoreline Management Hearing SMA- 89(12)105 Port of Port Angeles Reauest for a Shoreline Permit to allow a Ferry Terminal to be located on property located west of Oak Street between Oak /Cherry Streets, north of Front Street Councilman Sargent moved to accept withdrawal of Shoreline Management Permit Application SMA- 89(12)105 for the Port of Port Angeles. Councilman Gabriel seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. B. Conditional Use Hearing CUP 88(09)18 HO German Reauest for extension of a Conditional Use Permit to allow continuation of a day care as a Home Occupation. located in the RS -7. Single Family Residential District. Location: 3131 Regent Street Attorney Knutson stated he and Planning Director Collins had received an inquiry from a citizen about whether or not there is an appeal process for a Home Occupation Conditional Use Permit extension. They had informed the citizen that there is a 10 -day period within which an appeal may be filed after the recommendation of the Planning Commission. He explained that the 10 -day period has not expired; however, it was his understanding that an appeal may be filed. He has not seen the filing of the appeal; it must be filed with the City Clerk and it would be the recommendation of the Attorney and the Planning Director that the Council continue the item to the January 2, 1990, City Council meeting. If no appeal is filed, then action can be taken. Councilman Hallett expressed his concern that there has not been an appeal filed; that someone may call only to delay the process. Further, if the Council should act on this and an appeal is filed, could there not be an appeal of the Council's decision. Attorney Knutson stated that the appeal would be to the Superior Court and if a decision was to be made by the Council at this meeting, the Council will have eliminated one of the remedies of the citizen who wants to appeal. Councilman Hallett stated that due process has been followed to this date. The dates of the Council meetings are known, and it was his opinion that unless an appeal is on record, the mere fact that someone may file an appeal does not provide sufficient reason to postpone action on the issue. Councilman Lemon moved to concur with the recommendation of the Planning Commission for approval of the Conditional Use Permit for an additional one- year period, subject to the following conditions: (1) The proposed "family day care center" shall conform to the development standards as set forth in the Home Occupation Chapter of the Zoning Ordinance (Section 17.86.040); (2) This Conditional Use Permit allows the applicant to operate a "family day care" center with the number of children not to exceed State guidelines. Hours of operation will be from 6 AM to 6 PM, Monday through Friday. All indoor and outdoor,play areas shall meet all State Department of Health requirements for a "family day care center (3) State and local fire codes shall be complied with, including smoke alarm, fire extinguishers, and approved fire exits. The premises shall be inspected yearly by the Fire Department and shall comply with UFC requirements; (4) If, in the future, the City or other appropriate regulatory agency finds that the "family day care center as approved at this site, requires greater on -site parking facilities, the applicant shall provide such on -site parking, subject to the City's Planning and Public Works Departments' approvals; (5) If substantive complaints regarding this "family day care center" are received, the authorized hours of operation may be reduced and /or other control measures required, as determined by the Planning Commission; (6) Fencing be placed around the children's play area to ensure a protected play area and separation from traffic using the easement and driveway to the residence; and citing the following findings and conclusions: Findings: (1) Complaints have been received concerning the day care use; (2) There is an increase in traffic from the Home Occupation; (3) The width of the existing roadway is 10 feet and requires continual maintenance; (4) The children's play area is not protected from vehicular traffic; (5) Home occupation shall not be injurious or detrimental to adjoining or abutting properties; shall not endanger the public health, safety, morals, and welfare; shall be in the public interest; and shall not significantly increase local vehicular or pedestrian traffic; (6) The City's Comprehensive Plan stated that a goal of the City will be to propose "A community of viable neighborhoods and a variety of opportunities for personal interaction, fulfillment and enjoyment, attractive to people of all ages, -4- 1496 CITY COUNCIL MEETING December 19, 1989 characteristics and interests. Conclusions: (A) The day care is operating with on -going public complaints; (B) A day care activity can be approved with conditions to provide adequate access and protection of the children's play area; (C) The use is consistent with the Home Occupations Chapter of the City Zoning Ordinance (Article IV, Section 17.86, Ordinance 1709, as amended), as well as goals of the City's Comprehensive Plan. Councilman Gabriel seconded the motion. Councilman Hallett asked Planning Director Collins what the recommendation of the Planning Department was on this issue. Director Collins responded the recommendation of the Department was to approve with an additional condition, a seventh condition, that the roadway used as the main ingress and egress of the residence, be improved to a 20 -foot width and maintained to alleviate traffic congestion and associated problems for the homes in the area, or in a manner acceptable to the Public Works Department, stating the staff rationale was the conflict on the neighborhood over this particular Conditional Use, as related to problems with the roadway. It would be the responsibilities of the property owners who use that roadway to provide the upgrade. Councilman Hallett stated in the previous year's discussion of this Conditional Use during the public hearing, one of the decisions of the Council was to monitor this Conditional Use Home Occupation for complaints, and according to the documented record, there have been a number of concerns expressed by the residents. He shared the concerns of the Planning Director with regard to the roadway improvement, stating because of the deletion of that condition, he would not be in support of the motion. Councilman Lemon noted that the Fire Marshal has concurred with the recommendation of the Planning Commission; secondly, this day care has been in operation for several years and is approved by the State. However, they were not aware of due process with regard to the City's Home Occupation permit. Following further discussion about the complaints which have been received on this Conditional Use and the upgrading of the road, the question was called and the motion carried, with Councilman Hallett voting "No C. Shoreline Management Permit SMA- 89(11)104 K -Plv Planning Director Collins stated because of the mitigated Determination of Non Significance on the project, he recommended action be deferred to the January 2, 1990, City Council Meeting because the Council's 15 -day waiting period will not have been met until the end of the December. Councilman Sargent moved to continue action on Shoreline Management Hearing SMA- 89(11)104 K -Ply, to the January 2, 1990, City Council meeting. Councilman Lemon seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. D.. Conditional Use Permit CUP 89(12)23 First Presbyterian Church. 138 West 8th Street Request to expand an existing church facility_ in the CSD -C1. Community Shopping District Councilman Sargent moved to concur with the recommendation of the Planning Commission to approve the Conditional Use Permit, citing the following findings and conclusions: Findings: (1) Churches and Sunday schools are allowed as a conditional use in the CSD -C1 and RMF zoning districts; (2) The subject site is zoned CSD -C1 (Lots 11 -14) and RMF (Lots 7 -8); (3) The proposed design for the new addition does not meet the bulk requirements of the CSD -C1 District for maximum building height and of the RMF District for maximum lot coverage; (4) Classrooms are proposed for Sunday school, pre school, kindergarten, elementary, middle, and high school classes; (5) A Church official has stated that the intended purpose of the 7,266 square -foot addition is only for Sunday school uses and not for a day school (i.e., K -12 school); Conclusions: (1) Churches and Sunday school activities are recognized as compatible uses in the CSD -C1 and RMF zoning districts. Councilman Gabriel seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. E. Acceptance of Minutes Councilman Hallett moved to accept and place on file the Planning Commission minutes of December 13, 1989. Councilman Sargent seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. -5- Planning Director Collins introduced the new the Council. 4. Request from Mrs. Virginia Leinhart Involvement in Recycling Programs 1497 CITY COUNCIL MEETING December 19, 1989 Associate Planner, Grant Beck, to to Speak on Behalf of Citizen Virginia Leinhart, 3002 South Peabody Street, spoke on behalf of citizens who are ready to begin recycling within the City of Port Angeles. She requested that the Council begin a realistic and effective recycling program. She spoke at length on the issue, asking Council several questions regarding curbside recycling, the implementation of programs, media campaigns, the meeting of the Recycling Committee, when the Council would be expected to act on any proposals for recycling, and made five requests: (1) That the City Council make aggressive recycling a top priority; (2) That the Council begin to research successful recycling programs in other communities, suggesting beginning with the City of Bellingham; (3) That the City Council implement within 1990 a realistic and effective curbside recycling program, as well as a first -rate destination /separation facility; (4) That the City Council launch a campaign to go along with Item 3, emphasizing re -use and source reduction; and (5) That the Council provide the Solid Waste Superintendent an assistant for the recycling program. She asked that the City Council have a written recycling policy by January 15, 1990. Councilman Hallett said that the Council's Goals and Objectives adopted in 1989 addressed the need for recycling, stating that the Council will be updating its Goals and Objectives the first part of 1990 and encouraged Ms. Leinhart, and any other citizens to take part in that activity. He stated he shared the concerns voiced by Ms. Leinhart, as did some other Councilmembers. The Council discussed this item at length. —T.... Fart in the Committee mcctin roi their appreciation fur bringing Chi iccuc before the Council, a--a her e ffort No formal action was taken on this item. *SEE BELOW FOR AMENDMENT 5. Consideration of Adoption (by Ordinance) of City of Port Angeles 1989 1990 Revised Mid Biennial Budget The Council reviewed the proposed Budget by Departments to make amendments as necessary. City Attorney: Councilman Sargent moved to add $500 to books and $500 to the travel line items for the City Attorney's Budget. Councilman Hallett seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Planning Department: Councilman Sargent moved to add $2,200 to the Planning Department Budget for overtime /call -back. Councilman Wight seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Police Department: Councilman Hallett moved to concur with the Police Department request to add $25,003 for a second records word processing position. Councilman Ostrowski seconded the motion. Councilman Hallett stated he believed this would be a more cost effective method of immediately gaining more valuable patrol time, rather than adding a single sworn officer; that the Council would be well served by adding this additional staff position. During the review of Goals and Objectives, the Council can identify a long -range plan which makes best use of the City's resources to reach the needs the Council will have to address with regard to the Police Department. Chief Cleland explained that the addition of these moneys would, in effect, add two additional people in 1990, as one has been requested in the Budget proposal. These people would do the typing for the Patrol Division, in effect adding one and one -half hours to each man. This will allow better use of the Patrol Officers' time. Councilman Sargent was opposed to the addition of a second clerical position. She felt this should be assessed after one year. Councilman Ostrowski was convinced the clerical help is needed, as it will relieve the Patrolmen's time. -6- Councilman Sargent invited Ms. Leinhart to take part in the Committee meetings, voiced her appreciation to Ms. Leinhart and the others accompanying her for bringing the issue before the Council. 1498 CITY COUNCIL MEETING December 19, 1989 Councilman Gabriel expressed his concern as he felt this addition of a person should wait. Councilman Hallett stated there is documented need to increase the Police and Fire Department personnel. He urged the Council to take a leadership role to assess the need for public safety. Following a lengthy discussion, the question was called and the motion failed, with Councilmen Sargent, Lemon, Gabriel, and Mayor McPhee voting "No Councilman Hallett, Wight, and Ostrowski voted "Aye Councilman Hallett moved to approve the requested 1990 budget for the Police Department of $1,930,000. Councilman Gabriel seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Fire Department: Councilman Sargent moved that the Council add to the Fire Department Budget $4,000 to replace the fire door and $7,500 to remodel the Fire Department building to provide office space for the Fire Prevention and Public Education staff, thereby adding space to the reception area to consolidate file cabinets and copy machines, making it a more accessible and workable area. Councilman Lemon seconded the motion. Councilman Sargent also stated the Council needs to be looking at the replacement of the second fire door in 1991. Councilman Hallett offered as a friendly amendment the replacement of the other door and further, the addition of a Firefighter /Paramedic position to the Fire Department, this person to be added in 1990, which would add $40,000 to the Budget, but would also reduce the Department's overtime budget from approximately $62,000 to $40,000, making the net increase over what has been proposed by $22,000. Councilman Sargent did not accept the friendly amendment. She stated it was her understanding that the second fire door is used about one quarter of the time as the fire door to be replaced; therefore, it was her reasoning to wait until 1991 to replace it. She urged the Council to look closely at the addition of a Firefighter /Paramedic in 1991, as she was concerned about the excessive overtime and possible burn -out. The question was called, and the motion carried unanimously. Councilman Hallett moved to add a Firefighter /Paramedic position to the Fire Department so the Council could address the problem of excessive overtime hours, adding $40,000 to the Budget. Councilman Ostrowski seconded the motion. Councilman Hallett again reiterated the cost versus the savings of the overtime /call -back in the addition of the Firefighter /Paramedic position. Councilman Ostrowski expressed his concern about the overtime and possible burn -out, urging the Council to add the position in 1990. Councilman Wight agreed with the motion; however, he was concerned that the Council should bite the bullet, wait until the construction of a possible new station in the future, looking toward the goals and objectives plans, and wait until that time before acting on this issue. In the meantime, he suggested restructuring of the response requirements for off -duty firemen to, in the short term, help overcome the perceptions of over burdening and burning -out personnel and overtime recall. He was not in favor of the motion until the Council worked further on this problem. The question was called and the motion failed, with Mayor McPhee, Councilmen Sargent, Lemon, Gabriel, and Wight voting "No and Councilmen Ostrowski and Hallett voting "Aye Convention Center Fund: Erl Hansen, Executive Director, Chamber of Commerce, 121 East Railroad Avenue, stated the money given to the Chamber is to promote Port Angeles and the growth of Port Angeles. He discussed with the Council the increased costs they have incurred over the past year. When the Council offers the same amount of money as they have in the past, they are, in effect, giving less because of increases. He urged that the Council increase the dollar amount to be given to the Chamber for the 1990 year. -7- 1499 CITY COUNCIL MEETING December 19, 1989 Councilman Hallett noted that in 1989 the request from the Chamber was $39,000 and the Council had allocated $49,000, stating that the Chamber and the Tourism Convention Association do a lot of advertising, some of which overlaps. He asked if possibly the Chamber could coordinate their advertising programs and brochures with other organizations. Following further discussion on the issue of coordinating advertising and over- lapping between the Chamber and TCACC, Councilman Lemon moved to allocate $55,925 to the Chamber of Commerce for 1990. Councilman Gabriel seconded the motion. Councilman Lemon, in speaking to his motion, stated because of the contractual arrangement between the City and Chamber of Commerce, he saw a lot of volunteerism going on at the Visitor's Center with the Senior Center. It is a combined effort of the business people, the City of Port Angeles, with the City, itself. Councilman Hallett spoke in opposition to the motion as he felt the increase was not warranted and $49,000 was a more appropriate amount. The motion was voted on and carried, with Councilman Hallett voting "No Tourism Convention Association of Clallam County: Councilman Hallett moved that the Council fund the Tourism Convention Association of Clallam County in an amount of $13,600 for 1990. Councilman Sargent seconded the motion. Councilman Wight stated he felt the TCACC's budget presentation had shown the Council some very good uses of the money which was allocated to it in 1989 and he believed the Council should reward them for their efforts. Councilman Sargent concurred, then offered as a friendly amendment to give $2,000 more to the allocation of the TCACC. Councilman Hallett concurred. Councilman Lemon stated in order for him to be in support of the motion, there should be a stipulation which requires funds to be used for advertising only. Councilmen Sargent and Hallett concurred. The amended motion was voted on and carried unanimously. Councilman Lemon stated he believed the request from the Port Angeles Downtown Association for $2,950 for the Downtown walking brochure should be consolidated through the Chamber of Commerce request. Councilman Sargent concurred. Councilman Lemon moved to add $2,950 to the advertising budget of the Chamber of Commerce, to be allocated for the walking brochure. Councilman Gabriel seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Derby Days: Councilman Hallett moved that the Council allocate $5,000 to Derby Days for 1990. Councilman Gabriel seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Councilman Hallett moved that the Council not fund Port Angeles Light Opera Association. Councilman Lemon seconded the motion. .4 Councilman Wight stated the Council has discovered that the Port Angeles Light Opera Association's cash reserves are quite high. They have a tendency to under estimate ticket sales. Therefore, they may not need the modest amount of money they are requesting, and it seemed appropriate to him that money should only be requested when it is needed. Councilman Sargent noted that during the last budget hearings, the Light Opera Association had come before the Council because they were to have increased costs in rental fees for the auditorium. However, they were able to negotiate with the School District and did not have to pay as much for rent. The motion was voted on and carried unanimously. Port Angeles Symphony Orchestra: Councilman Lemon moved to allocate $2,500 to the Port Angeles Symphony Orchestra to be designated $1,500 for rent, $1,000 for benefactor. Councilman Sargent seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. -8- 1500 CITY COUNCIL MEETING December 19, 1989 Arthur D. Feiro Marine Lab: Councilman Ostrowski moved to approve the allocation of $9,432 to the Marine Lab for 1990. Councilman Wight seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Clallam County Museum: Councilman Ostrowski moved that the Council approve the allocation of $10,000 for the Clallam County Museum. Councilman Sargent seconded the motion. Councilman Ostrowski stated there is no increase over last year's request and he felt this to be a real attraction within the City of Port Angeles. Councilman Hallett stated this has been an on -going request; that in past years the Council has been told that this would not be an on -going request, but that the Museum would be exploring grant funding. He then expressed his concern that the Museum should be exploring other avenues for funding. Councilman Lemon suggested that the Museum request funding also from Clallam County. The motion was voted on and carried unanimously. Clallam County Fair Association: Councilman Lemon moved that no funding be granted to the Clallam County Fair Association. Councilman Gabriel seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Olympic Peninsula Tourism Association: Councilman Hallett moved that no funding be granted to the Olympic Peninsula Tourism Association. Councilman Lemon seconded the motion. Councilman Hallett stated it was the direction of the Council to funnel these types of requests through two organizations. Councilman Lemon felt the advertisement was very expensive; it was not appealing for Port Angeles as it had a picture of the ferry. Councilman Sargent stated she would be in favor of not funding this request; however, she would like to see it handled through the Chamber of Commerce; and also that the picture be changed to a picture of the Chamber of Commerce with the flowers in bloom in the front of the building. The motion was voted on and carried, with Councilman Lemon voting "No Councilman Sargent moved that the Council add $2,000 to the Chamber budget to include the Olympic Peninsula Tourism Association brochure, with the request that the picture be of the Downtown flowers, showing the Visitor's Center. Councilman Wight seconded the motion. Councilman Lemon was concerned because the request was for $2,500. If the Council were to allocate $2,000, will the ad be able to be completed. Councilman Gabriel preferred to see the Chamber use its own discretion as to whether they think advertising in this organization is appropriate. Councilman Sargent restated the motion, that the Coundoil allocate $2,500 to the Chamber of Commerce appropriation to be used at the discretion of the Chamber of Commerce for the Olympic Peninsula Tourism Association brochure. If the brochure is to be used, the Council would prefer a picture of the Downtown flowers and the front of the Visitor's Center. Councilman Lemon offered a friendly amendment that the money should be used strictly at the Chamber's discretion for the OPTA ad or left in the Hotel/Motel Tax Fund reserves. Councilmen Sargent and Wight accepted the amendment. The amended motion was voted on and carried unanimously. Councilman Hallett moved to adopt the Convention Center Hotel /Motel Tax Fund as amended and that the remaining amount be allocated to the reserve fund. Councilman Wight seconded and the motion carried unanimously. BREAK It now being past 10:00 P.M., Councilman Hallett moved to continue the items on the agenda Councilman Gabriel seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Mayor McPhee recessed the meeting for a 10- minute break at 10:00 P.M. The meeting reconvened at 10:12 P.M. Eauipment Rental Fund: Councilman Lemon expressed his concern with the possible overlap of the additional position upon the return of the Head Mechanic from sick leave, and did not see the justification of putting the moneys in the budget of seven and one -half months' worth and requested a recalculation of two or three months. Councilman Lemon moved that the figure of Equipment Rental include two months' compensation as it pertains to the extra mechanic. Councilman Gabriel seconded the motion. Following discussion on the issue, the question was called and the motion carried, with Councilmen Ostrowski and Hallett voting "No Mayor McPhee read the Ordinance by title, entitled ORDINANCE NO. 2555 AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles revising the budget for the City of Port Angeles for the fiscal biennium ending December 31, 1990, and amending Section 2 of Ordinance 2516.
