V. Discussion Items
A. Revision To Port Angeles Municipal Code, Chapter 13.44 Water Rates
Ken Ridout, Deputy Director of Operations, pointed out that water rates are presently based on the size
of the service line and not the size of the meter. The code revision will correct this error. There was a
brief discussion.
Councilmember Erickson moved to recommend City Council make an Ordinance change to reflect
that services with a 5/8 inch or 3/4 inch meters be charged based on the meter size. Mayor
Headrick seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
B. Benefit Dump Day
Tom McCabe, Solid Waste Superintendent, deferred specifics to Ken Loghry, Operations Supervisor.
Mr. Loghry reviewed the information contained in the packet, responded to questions and provided
clarification. It was noted that although response was lower this year than previous years, staff felt the
decrease was probably due to implementation ofthe higher minimum fee resulting in more material being
brought to the landfill during the year.
No action taken. Information only.
