Dear Mayor Doyle,
Attached herewith are two original "Intergovernmental Agreements" and a Lower Elwha
Klallam Tribe resolution authorizing the Chairman of the Business Committee (Tribal
Council) to sign this agreement on behalf of the Tribe. I have signed both agreements; and, I

agreements need only your designation of a facilitator for implementation and the insertion

had in order to establish a framework and process for working together on issues of common
concern.
We believe that this is a very important step toward establishing a government-to-
government relationship with the City. This vehicle should provide an opportunity for both
governments to address and resolve issues in a constructIve and mutually satisfactory
manner.
I look forward to working with you in implementation of this Intergovernmental Agreement.
Should you have any specific questions, please feel free to contact me at extension 149 or

special events as a means of generating economic development in the area. If these

as the sole source for the acquisition of replacement

Councilman Campbell moved to pass the Resolution as read by title. The motion
was seconded by Councilmember Erickson and carried unanimously.
L
Carnegie Library Value Engineering
Mayor Doyle summarized the information provided by Public Works & Utilities on the
matter of value engineering for the Carnegie Library renovation/restoration, Director
Cutler had requested a value engineering study on the structural upgrades to the
building and, during a test of the bricks and mortar, it was discovered that the exterior
walls are non-bonded. In that the Uniform Building Code standards do not adequately
address the retrofit of the structure, the value engineering study also addressed the
possibility of utilizing theFEMA methodology as an alternative to improving the
structural integrity of the building. Director Cutler indicated the FEMA methodology
would result in utilizing many features of the original design and would provide a cost
savings to the City of approximately $80,000 - $100,000 for the project.
It is staffs recommendation that the FEMA guidelines be followed. The Real Estate
Committee chose to forward the matter to the Council for consideration without a
recommendation. Director Cutler had been asked by the Real Estate Committee to
contact Port Townsend to determine which standards were followed for their historical
struc*es; It was learned that Port Townsend uses the Historical Building Code which
provides for alternate methods, to include the FEMA methodology. DirectorCutler was
unable to determine if Port Townsend utilized the UBC or the FEMA guidelines. Also
at the CoIl1Il}ittee's request, Qirector Cutler inquired as to whether grant funding would
be impacted because of the guidelines used. He learned that State grant funding would
only be affected if the fabric of the building was changed. Director Cutler pursued the
matter'ofinsurance impacts. He was informed there is a preference for stricter codes,
but no preference on UBC standards as opposed to FEMA. Director Cutler reviewed
the various rates associated with insurance.
In response to an inquiry from the Mayor, Director Cutler acknowledged that the
decision this evening would have no bearing on the question of restoration versus
renovation. He indicated he would return to the Council in September or October with
a cost analysis for both, after which he would hope to proceed to construction in the
Spring of 2002. Discussion followed concerning brick wythes, and Stuart Bonney of
Olympic Design Works provided clarification on that issue. Councilman Campbell
directed attention to the projected damage that might be expected from an earthquake.
He felt the anticipated damage under the UBC and the FEMA guidelines to be rather
imprecise. Building Official Haehnlen advised the Council that consideration should
be given to the expected use of the building, as well as the number of people in the
building at any given time. Based on his previous building and earthquake experience
in Califorma, he felt the FEMA methodology would be quite acceptable in this instance.
Further, Mr.. Haehnlen assured the Council that the FEMA methodology would
adequately address the retrofit particularly as relates to the repair of the wythes.
After further discussion, Councilman Campbell moved to direct the Public Works
& Utilities Director to proceed with the design of the Carnegie Library utilizing the
FEMA methodology for structural upgrades. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Wiggins. Councilman Williams expressed his reluctance to vote for using

DATE: August 7,2001
To: MAYOR DOYLE AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CRAIG D. KNUTSON, CITY ATTORNEY
SUBJECT: Designating Agent to Receive Claims for Damages
Summary: A new State statute requires local governments to appoint agents to receive claims
for damages.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance
appointing the City's Risk Manager as the agent for receiving claims for damages against the City.
Backe:round I Analysis: Chapter 4.96 RCW requires that all claims for damages against a local
governmental entity must be filed with that entity before a civil lawsuit may be filed. The 2001
State Legislature amended this statute by adding a requirement that the local governing body must
appoint an agent to receive any claim for damages against the entity. The identity ofthe agent and
the address where the agent must be reached during normal business hours must be recorded with
the county auditor.
In order to comply with the new statute, the attached ordinance has been prepared for the Council's
consideration. It designates the City's Risk Manager as the agent to receive claims for damages
against the City. Since the city currently directs people who want to file claims for damages to the
Risk Manager, the formalization of this process will not cause any change in the way that people are

As Mr. Miller's July 5, 2001 letter explaIns, Tesoro has reorganized internally and has changed the
name of Tesoro Marine Services, Inc. to Tesoro West Coast Company. This has resulted in the
assignment of subleases for the Port Angeles bunker facility from the old entity to the new one.
Under the terms of the lease from the City to Daishowa, the City must consent to any sublease,
which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or denied. The City consented to the original
sublease with BP in 1984. The sublease, under which the City receives $15,000 per year, expires
in May, 2005. Daishowa America has alrea,dy approved the assignment of sublease.

STREET VACATION PETITION REQUEST - STY 01-03
PENINSULA BOTTLING/FIDLER - Portion of 3/4 alley east of Valley Street
Summary: A valid petition has been n~ceived requesting vacation ofa portion of the 3/4 alley
located east of Valley Street. Section 35.79 RCW requires the City Council to set a public hearing
date by resolution for consideration of such a request for a time not less than 20 days nor more than
60 days from adoption of the resolution.
Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council pass the attached resolution
setting a hearing date for consideration of the request at Council's September 4th regular
meeting.
Background 1 Analysis: . The owners of Lots 7 - 14, Block 72, TPA have submitted a valid
petition requesting the vacation of abutting right-of-way described as being a portion ofthe 3/4 alley.
The subject right-of-way is located in the Industrial Light zone east of Valley Street. The alley
provides secondary access to the Peninsula Bottling plant and to property that contains a condemned
apartment structure. The alley does not serve. the remainder of property in the block due to the sharp
rise in topography east ofthe location. Mr Snydal, owner of Peninsula Bottling, wishes to purchase
the apartment building owned by Mrs. Fidler to allow consolidation of the properties and the right-
of-way into a larger building site.
The Planning Commission will conduct a public hearing on the proposal on August 22,2001, and
will forward a recommendation to the City Council for Council's consideration on September 4,
2001.

either for cash flow purposes or for confor-
mance to maturity guidelines, bids will be

is required, a market trend analysis will
determine which maturities would be most
advantageous.

direct investments in companies supporting
policies contrary to the U.S. Government

Commercial Paper - An unsecured.short-
term promissory note issued by corporations,
with maturities ranging from 2 to 270 days.
Convexity - A measure of a bond's price
sensitivity to cha,nging interest rates. A high
convexity indicates greater sensitivity of a
bond's price to interest rate changes.
Coupon Rate - The annual rate of interest
received by an investor from the issuer of
certain types of fixed-income securities. Also
known as the "interest rate".
Credit Quality - The measurement of the
financial strength of a bond issuer. This
measurement helps an investor to understand
an issuer's ability to make timely interest
payments and repay the loan principal upon
maturity. Generally, the higher the credit
quality of a bond issuer, the lower the interest
rate paid by the issuer because the risk of
default is lower. Credit quality ratings are
provided by nationally recognized rating
agenCIes.
Credit Risk - The risk to an investor that an
issuer will default in the payment of interest
and/or principal on a security.
Current Yield (Current Return) - A yield
calculation determined by dividing the annual
interest received on a security by the current
market price ofthat security.
Dealer - A dealer, as opposed to a broker, acts
as a principal in all transactions, buying and
selling for his own account.
Delivery Versus Payment (DVP) - A type of
securities transaction in which the purchaser
pays for the securities when they are delivered
either to the purchaser or his/her custodian.
Der~vative Security - Financial instrument
created from, or whose value depends upon,
one or more underlying assets or indexes of
asset values.
Discount - The difference between the cost
price of security and its value at maturity
when quoted at lower than face value. A
security selling below original offering price
shortly after sale is also considered to be at a
discount.
Discount Securities - Non-interest bearing
money market instruments that are issued at a
discount and redeemed at maturity for full
face value, e.g., U.S. Treasury bills.
Diversification - A process of investing assets
among range of security types by sector,
maturity, and quality rating.
Duration - A measure of the timing of the
cash flows, such as the interest payment and
the principal.repayment, to be received from
a given fixed-income security. This
calculation is based on three variables: term to
maturity, coupon rate, and yield to maturity.
The duration of a security is a useful indicator
of its price volatility for given changes in
interest rates.
Fair Value - The amount at which an
investment could be exchanged in a current
transaction between willing l?arties, other than
in a forced or liquidation sale.
Federal Credit Agencies - Agencies of the
Federal government set up to supply credit to

benefits likely to be derived; and 2) the
valuation of costs and benefits reqUIres
estimates and judgments by management.
Internal controls should address the following
points:
.
1. Control of collusion - Collusion is a
situation where two or more employees
are working in conjunction to defraud
their employer.
2. Separation of transaction authority
from accounting and record keeping -
By separating the person who authorizes

for the transaction, a separation of duties
is achieved.
3. Custodial safekeeping - Securities
purchased from any bank or dealer
including appropriate collateral (as
defined by state law) shall be placed with
an independent third party for custodial
safekeeping.
4. Avoidance of physical delivery
securities - Book-entry securities are
much easier to transfer and account for
since actual delivery of a document never
takes place. Delivered securities must be
properly safeguarded against loss or
destruction. The potential for fraud and
loss increases with physically delivered
securities.
5. Clear delegation of authority to
subordinate staff members - Subordinate
staff members must have a clear
understanding of their authority and
responsibilities to avoid improper actions.
Clear delegation of authority also
preserves the internal control structure that
is contingent on the various staff positions
and their respective responsibilities.
6. Written confirmation of transactions
for investments and wire transfers - Due
to the potential for error and improprieties
.
,";?~;,;~-t;:" "

will be entered into and will address the
following points: controls, security
provisions, and responsibilities of each
party making and receiving wire transfers.
Inverted Yield Curve - A chart formation
that illustrates long-term securities having
lower yields than short-term securities. This
configuration usually occurs during periods of
high inflation coupled with low levels of
confidence in the economy and a restrictive
monetary policy.

legislation which sets the stan~ards by which
investment companies, such as mutual funds,
are regulated in the areas of advertising,
promotion, performance reporting

SUBJECT:
CONTRACT WITH DIVERSIFIED RESOURCE CENTER FOR MAIL ROOM/COPY
CENTER SERVICES
Summary: Since 1994, the City has had a contract with Diversified Resource Center to provide
mail room and copy center services. Funding to support group employment for developmentally
disabled individuals has decreased. Without a raise in the contract amount, Diversified Resource
Center will be forced to terminate its contract with the City, as the contract is running at a loss.
.
Recommendation: Staff recommends increasing the contraCt payment to $1,577 per month with
an automatic COLA increase as of January 1,2002.
Back2round / Analysis: In 1994, the City entered into a contract with Diversified Resource
Center (DRC) to provide mail room and copy center services. The duties covered by this contract
include picking up, delivering, sorting and distributing the City's mail; preparing utility bills for
mailing; operating the copy and fax machines; preparing the Council packets twice monthly;
collecting and sorting the recycling from City offices; and copying, collating, and binding the City
budget, annual report, and other lengthy documents.
Over the years, the face of supported employment for individuals with developmental disabilities
has changed. Ten years ago, DRC employed more than 80 people in various work crews; today,
there are only 29 employed. Referrals for group employment are made by the Division of
Developmental Disabilities and funding is attached to these referrals. DRC has informed us that no
new referrals will be made to this program. Because ofthe lack of outside funding, DRC has been
forced to terminate several local contracts due to financial losses.
.
In June 2001~ notification was received that the City contract would be terminated in August 2001,
as DRC absorbed an average loss of $306 per month for all of 200 1.

Dear Yvonne:
Thank you for your efforts on our behalf regarding the enclave we have at the City's
mail room/copy center. On June 19, Carol Liljedahl, Fiscal Officer and I wrote you
regarding the financial deficit we experience in maintaining a crew and supervisor
(job coach). Our analysis of representative pay periods of year 2000 showed a
deficit of $239.50 per month. Thus far in 2001, we have absorbed, on average
$306.00 per month loss. In January 2002, we will be presented with increased
minimum and prevailing wage rates~ hence, our losses will increase commensurately.
In our discussions I have also explained to you that the face of supported
employment for individuals with developmental disabilities has changed. Ten years
ago, Diversified Resource Center had over eighty (80) people working on our
various crews (and in enclaves such as the city). We currently have twenty.,.nine (29)
people. No new referrals to Group Supported Employment will be made; (Referrals
. are made by the Division of Developmental Disabilities and funding is attached to
these referrals).
Without this source of funding, it is necessary that we (as a private company)
maintain all of our contracts as profitable. During the past four years, we have
terminated our services to several of the contracts we held in Port Angeles. In each
instance, we made all efforts to gain increases that cut our losses; when we were not
able to do so, we and the contract holders mutually and respectfully agreed to
terminate the contract.
Thank you again for your assistance in gaining an increase for our contract with the
City. I hope this information helps you as you present "our case" to the City Council
on August 7.
Sincerely,

MID-YEAR BUDGET STATUS REpORT
To:
FROM:
SUBJECT:
Background:
.
I am pleased to provide the budget status reports for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001.
These reports show the City's financial position at mid-year as compared to the budget and the same
period in the prior year. The reports are divided by funds and show revenues by sources and
expenditures by department and object.
The percent of revenue to collect columns reflect uncollected revenues as compared to budget.
Funding available columns show percentage left to spend in the 2001 budget. The benchmark, for
analytical purposes, should be 50% assuming all financial transactions occur at the same level each
month. Higher percentages indicate very controlled spending. Lower percentages mean potential
spending over budgeted appropriations.
Following the narratives are tables and schedules showing details of all revenues and expenditures
by fund, department and object. These reports are mostly for informational purposes. A presentation
will be made at'the August 7, 2001 Council meeting, showing where we are according to budget.
During the budget 2002 preparation, staff will estimate the City's financial condition for year-end
and present the Council with proposed amendments to the 2001 budget.
General Fund
The General Fund budget is on target with 51% of revenues collected and 48% of appropriations
expended (Table 1).
.
General Fund revenue by major revenue source is depicted in Table I and Table n. Almost 51 %
oftax revenue, which comprises 60% of the General Fund budget and includes property taxes, sales
and use taxes, utility taxes, and a small percentage of other taxes such as gambling and leasehold,
has been collected as of June 30. This is at a slightly lower level as compared to last year at this time
10'5

I
I.
.
.
Overall, the General Fund expenditures for the first six months were $6,356,609, which is 10.3%
more than 2000 at this time. These variances were budgeted and are largely due to additional
transfers to the Capital Improvement Fund ($305,000) and increases in personnel services.
Personnel benefits, still on target as compared to budget (52.6% unexpended), increased 4.2%
over 2000 levels and reflect a 3.51 % costofliving increase, changes in pay ranges due to several
new union contracts, and increases in medical insurance costs. The 2001 General Fund
expenditures also include a new position in the Parks and Recreation Department (Cemetery).
Supplies and charges for services are above 2000 levels, but on target as compared to the
budget. Capital outlay, which includes $44,086 for vehicle replacement and several projects
such as city pier piling and cross bracing replacement, several parks improvements, and printers
for Public Works, is still 66% unexpended. Some of the projects will be completed during the
summer and fall and Equipment Services is in the process of ordering vehicles and equipment.
At this time we have identified several areas which may require budget amendments. They
include:
.
$20,000 vacation payout and retirement excess compensation for the Human
Resources Assistant who retired this summer.
$20,000 vacation payout for the Recreational Manager who resigned in March.
This cost will probably be offset by the delay in hiring his replacement.
$8,000 cost for the primary election.
Roofrepair for the Fire Hall. At this time, the cost ofthis project is unknown.
.
.
.
General Fund reserves, or fund balance,
was almost $2.5 million as of December 31,
2000, which is approximately $600,000
more than budgeted. According to our
Financial MaIlagement Policy, we can
designate this surplus to fund capital
improvements. During the adoption of the
Capital Facility Plan, staff proposed
additional funding of $600,000 from the
2000 budget surplus. Of course, this will
require formal budget amendments, which
can be done during the 2002 budget process.
It is estimated that after all budgeted and
proposed transfers, the fund balance will be
$1.8 million. This level, representing 14% of the City's operating expenditures, is in compliance
with the City's policy. Since the Street fund is largely supported by the General Fund, the graph
shows the combined reserves of these two funds.

Criminal Justice
The one-tenth of one percent sales tax is distributed based on countywide sales tax and
population. The year-to-date revenu~ is the same as in 2000 (see Schedule C). I do not expect any
problems with collecting the budgeted amount.
These funds essentially exist to support
the debt service of major capital street
projects and the partial support of the
stteetpaving program. The debt
payment includes Marine Drive and the 8th Street culvert project (first one quarter of one percent)
and the 8th Street reconstruction (second one quarter of one percent). The outstanding debt on
these loans is $497,939 maturing in 2012 for Marine Drive, $201,911 maturing in 2005 for the
8th Street Design, and $1,738,800 maturing in 2020 for the 8th Street reconstruction.
Operating revenues and expenses are higher than both last year and the 2001 budget, largely as a
result of higher power sales to Daishowa
America. Removal of the Elwha Dam in
February 2000 increased Daishowa's power
consumption an average of 19MWa
(megawatts) per day. Collection of this revenue 2001 est.
began in March 2000, thereforein 2001 there
will be an additional two months of revenue.
Since rate increases are proposed starting in
October 2001, operating revenues will be
higher than budgeted.
Real Estate Excise Taxes
Year-to-date tax revenue is 30% more
than last year with only 35% left to
collect. Low interest rates stimulated.
the real estate market and, ifthis trend
continues for the rest ofthe year, we
should collect $40,000 more than
budgeted. This is good news, as these
funds can be used for the much needed
street projects.
Electric Utility Fund
On the expeI!se side, there is a direct correlation
between power sales and power purchase.
Since Bonneville Power Administration (BP A)
is increasing rates by 46% in October, the

. Internal Services Funds
This group includes Equipment Services, Information Technology, and the Self-Insurance Fund.
All these funds operate on the basis of reimbursement and all have reasonable cash balances
necessary for operation in the year 2001.
Equipment Services has reserves of$3.8 million designated for equipment replacement. This
fund is supported by charges for operational and replacement expenses assigned to each
participating department's equipment. For year-end 2000, we have returned to a positive cash
flow and increased the ending cash reserves. The General Fund contributed an additional
$438,735 to catch up prior replacement allocations for all operational equipment with the
exception of major fire pumper apparatus.
A major challenge facing Information Technology is to generate replacement value for the
main financial system. We are planning to replace the existing financial system in the year 2002,
which will require additional contributions from the General Fund and utilities. Additionally, IT
staffis working on bidding long distance telephone services and continues in its efforts to
increase interagency cooperation.
At midyear, the Self Insurance Fund's time loss claims were higher than budgeted, amounting
to $45,151. Fortunately, this is almost 35% below last year. We are hoping that in the second
. half ofthe year claims will slow down as they have in the past.

We all know the stocks and bonds market can be cyclical, but I don't think anyone expected the .
market to be that unpredictable. Starting in June 1999, the Fed raised the rates by 25 basis points.
six times until it reached 6.25% in September 2000. Last year the perception of more rate
increases and a decrease in bond offerings
caused the yield curve to invert. Historically,
inverted yield curves have been leading ,
indicators of future economic weakness and
we predicted a major downturn. We didn't
have to wait long. In the second half of 2000,
the economy started to slow down. After the
stock market roller coaster ride in 2001, the
only way to boost the economy was to
decrease rates and the cycle of decreasing
rates started again. Starting in January 2001, 4
the Feds decreased rates six times. As of
July 31, the Fed funds target rate was 3.75% 2
and another decrease is expected in August.
The Local Government Investment Pool's
rate of return is 244 basis points less than in
July of last year. Coupons on two year Treasury Notes decreased from 6.3% to 3.8%. Only the
long end of treasury bond rates remained reasonably flat and decreased by only 25 basis points
from 7.78% for a 30-year bond in July 2000 to 5.53% in July 2001.

MAYOR DOYd: AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM:
Michael Quinn, City Manager~
SUBJECT:
Council Goals - Project Update
Summary: As indicated in prior informational reports, it is my desire to increase the projectl
information to the City Council via a series of status updates on a monthly basis. We may notl
address every project each month, but will address those projects that are the most active or have
other circumstances that impact them. With the prior submittal of the Work Plan, these proj ects have
now been identified and can be tracked for monthly progress.
Recommendation:
No action necessary - information.
Backl:round / Analysis:
Goal: Financial Stability - Provide consistent and quality municipal services through
the adequacy, utilization, and development of financial resources that maximize return on
investment, leverage of outside resources, and equity for local taxpayers.
* Electric and Solid Waste Rate Reviews - With the announcement by BP A of a 46%
wholesale rate increase, City staff and our consultant will be presenting rate impact analysis to the
UAC and the Council by September. We will also consider any impacts of using a portion of our
rate stabilization funds.
* Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) - A resolution adopting the funding plan, CFP, and TIP was
approved at the July 3rd Council meeting.
* Finance System RFI - The Finance Department received seven responses from the Request
for Information (RFI) for new integrated finance software and hardware. The responses were from
the following companies: Cayenta (SFG), Eden Systems, Government E-Management Solutions,
HTE Inc., Munis, New World Systems, and Springbrook Software. We will be evaluating these
responses and vendors at the same time that we will be creating a formal detailed Request for
Proposal (RFP). The vendors will be invited to demonstrate their software over the next two months.
Several committees made up of city employees have been formed to evaluate both the RFP and
responses from the vendors. Our goal is to have an improved and .integrated finance system

packet.
Goal: Employee Excellence - Expand programs and policies that enhance the work
environment, stimulate employee performance, and promote customer service to assure the
provision of quality municipal services and prepare our employees for the future challenges
in municipal government.
* Police Officer Vacancy - Rik Scairpon has been hired effective 8/27/01 to fill this vacant
position. He will attend the Law Enforcement Academy 9/12/01 - 1/25/02 and then be assigned to
our Field Training Program in the Department for another 12 weeks.
Goal: Community Development - Develop policies and promote implementation
measures that enact our Comprehensive Plan, preserve the character of our community, and
provide the necessary public facilities and infrastructure consistent with our vision for the
future.
* Airport Road Realignment Project - The project has been awarded and work has
commenced. It is anticipated to complete in mid October 2001.
* Morse Creek Hydroelectric Facility - Subcommittee meeting conducted on July 30,2001
with Mayor Doyle and Council Members Campbell and.Wiggins to discuss the lease/purchase of
the facility and FERC and environmental regulatory agencies 'concerns. The lease has been redrafted
and forwarded to Ebey Hill for review. The firm of Kleinschmidt Associates has been retained to
appraise the value of the hydroelectric facility. Contractors are also being contacted for cost
estimates on the pipeline repair.
* Annexation Plan - We have distributed copies of our Preliminary Report to interested
parties. We have conducted two employee briefings on annexation impacts in the eastern UGA and
have prepared an outreach schedule for public presentations over the next six months. A meeting
with County staff to discuss the report's impacts is scheduled for August 21. In addition, the Fire
Department and Public Works have commenced talks with the County, Fire District, and PUD to
coordinate development standards for fire flow in the eastern UGA. It is anticipated that the final
recommendations formulated with the UGA resident input will be ready for the Council's decision
on annexation in February.
* Valley Creek Estuary Park - The pedestrian bridge over the mouth ofthe creek was granted
approval by the Department of Fisheries, although the Corps of Engineers approval is still pending.
We are looking at Fall for completion of the remaining landscaping portion.
* Trail Development - The Olympic Discovery Trail is required to have fencing in the area
abutting the Four Seasons Ranch and staff is coordinating this effort. Weare also working with
Rayonier to establish a temporary easement for the trail that does not interfere with clean-up
operations.

MAYOR DOYLE AND CITY COUNCIL
DAN MCKEEN, FIRE CHIEF U.
To:
SUBJECT:
FIRE PROTECTION CLASSIFICATION
Information Only
The City was recently re-evaluated by the Washington Survey & Rating Bureau (WS&RB) to update
the City's fire protection classification. The last evaluation by WS&RB was completed in 1983,
with the City achieving a Class 4 fire protection rating. The recent re-evaluation did not change this
fire protection classification, with the City maintaining its existing Class 4 rating.
.
The above classification is important to City officials as it is a significant element used by the
insurance industry in developing fire insurance premiums for both commercial and residential
properties. Generally, the better the Ci ty' s classification, the lower the fire insurance premi urns wi 11
be for City residents.
The fire protection classification was determined by evaluating the adequacy of the City's:
. dispatch center (for recei ving and handling fire alarms)
. fire department (for fire suppressioh)
· water supply (for fire protection)
. fire prevention (for code enforcement and public education)
During the City's evaluation, a field representative from WS&RB compared the City's existing
conditions against predetermined standards! and assigned deficiency points for any identified
deviations from these standards. The total number of deficiency points at the end of the evaluation
then determined the City's fire protection classification. Thefire protection classification is based
on a numerical scale from 1 to 10; 1 indicating the best classification possible and 10 indicating
virtually no fire protection.
.
,
The Fire Department will now take this opportunity to meet with WS&RB to determine why
deficiency points were assigned in each ofthe aforementioned categories. This information received
from WS&RB can then be used to determine the cost effectiveness of eliminating deficiency points
aimed at lowering the City's fire protection classification. This information will then be brought
back to the Council.

Glenn A. Cutler, Director of Public Works and Utilities
SUBJECT:
Weight Restrictions for 8th Street Bridges
.
In the Fall of 2000 the City of Port Angeles' bridge files were audited by the WSDOT.
Overall they where pleased with our bridge inspection and maintenance program. The
audit revealed that the two bridges on 8th Street, spanning Valley Creek and Tumwater
Creek respectively, did not have the load rating analysis signed, and sealed by a
registered professional engineer as required by the Washington State Bridge Inspection
Manual. The Washington State Bridge Inspection Manual implements the National
Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS). The NBIS set national policy regarding bridge
inspection frequency, inspector qualifications, report formats, and inspection and rating
procedures. In Washington State this policy is.administered by the Department of
Transportation.
The City does not have the expertise to perform this load rating analysis. Sargent
Engineers of Olympia, Washington was selected to complete the load rating analysis
and provide a report to the City.
The report notes that the legal street load configuration exceeds the calculated carrying
capacity of these bridges. This means that it is necessary to post restricted load limits.
The NBIS define two levels of load carrying capacity, Operating Level and Inventory
Level as follows:
Inventory: "a load level which can safely utilize a bridge for an indefinite period
of time."
Operating: "the absolute maximum permissible load level to which abridge may
be subjected. In no cases can the load levels used be greater than those
permitted by the operating rating.
.
Section 5.03A of the Washington State Bridge Inspection Manual states: "The NBIS
require the posting of load limits on a bridge, if a legal load configuration exceeds the
Operating Rating for that bridge. Agencies generally post a bridQe between the
Inventory Rating and the Operating Rating."

motion was seconded by Commissioner Porter and passed 5-0.
OLD BUSINESS
REZONE APPLICATION - REZ 01-03 - REETZ. 835 East Second Street: Request
for a rezone of 7,000 square feet of property from RHD, Residential High Density, to
CO, Commercial Office.
Chair Nutter reopened the public meeting. Staff provided a brief overview of the revised findings and
conclusions in support of approval of REZO 1-03 as directed by the Planning Commission at the June
13, 2001 meeting. There being no questions, Commissioner Hewins moved to forward a
recommendation of approval of REZ 01-03 to the City Council based on the revised findings and
conclusions as follows:
Findings:
1. The 2001 rezone is proposed by Mike Reetz/Church of the Nazarene for a change in the zoning
designation from Residential, High Density (RHD) to Commercial Office (CO) for one lot
being Lot 18, Block 24, Norman R. Smith subdivision which is located at the northwest comer
of Race and Second Streets. -
2.
The Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Commercial (along with other properties north
of Second Street) and is at the margin of the Medium Density Residential designation (south
of Second Street). A number of policies have been identified as being most relevant to the
proposal including Land Use General Comments, Policies Al and 2, Objective AI, Policies Dl,
E2, E5 and E6, Transportation Policies A3, B3, B7, and B14, and Objectives Bl and B4.

3.
The proposal would not compromise the Compreh~nsive Plan and the Transportation Services
and Facilities Plan, adopted in October 1996, which depicts a modified route (IIIB) which
includes the Front/First east of Race Street, Race Street south to near Porter Street continuing
in stages east across White's, Ennis, Lee's and Morse Creek paralleling the BP A power line and
rejoining SR 101 east of Deer Park Road, and also Lauridsen Boulevard west to SR 101 and the
Truck Route. By limiting the zone to Commercial, Office, the intensity of the uses would be
less than that allowed in Commercial, Arterial. . By limiting the driveway access location, the
effects of the proposal onto traffic mobility on Race Street is also limited.
.
4. The proposal would not significantly eXpand the commercial zoning designation along the
planned crosstown truck route contiguous to the commercially zoned properties north of the
First/Second alley and would be the first such property zoned commercial south of the
First/Second alley along Race Street and north of Sixth Street. By limiting the zone to
Commercial, Office, the intensity of the uses would be less than that allowed in Commercial,
Arterial. By limiting the driveway access location, the effects of the proposal onto traffic
mobility on Race Street is also limited.
5.
The properties between Front and Fourth Streets along Race Street have mostly commercial or
public parks and recreation uses with residential uses near the Second Street intersection.
Changing the zoning on the subject property to Commercial, Office should not result in a strip
pattern of commercial zoning in this area as the subject property is in the middle of a mixed use
area.
.
6. The current commercial zoning pattern along the Front/First Corridor which extends north and
south to the next alley places some limitations onto existing or new commercial developments
that may need a larger area in order to expand their businesses.
7. Development on Second Street consists of mostly single family residential east of Eunice Street
and may be affected by the proposal. However, nearby parks, church facilities and commercial
uses have already altered traffic patterns on Second Street.
8. The properties to the east and west are developed with single or multi-family residences, and
also zoned RHD. The properties to the north are zoned Commercial, Arterial and are occupied
with commercial uses. The properties to the south are zoned RS7 and are occupied by a church
complex. Diagonally across Race Street exists vacant commercial structure at First/Race and
also the Civic Field complex at SecondlRace.
9. The subject site is occupied by a single family dwelling and is generally flat. To the east and
west of the proposal are RHD zoned properties occupied by residential uses. To the north are
commercial zoned properties and commercial uses. To the south is residential zoned land
occupied by a church complex.
10. The most recent land use analysis in Port Angeles was summarized in the Community Profile .
Section ofthe Comprehensive Plan. This section states that there are 12 acres of buildable areas
.

zoned high density residential multi-family land's~as compa~ed to 491 acres of buildable areas
zoned low density residential. The low density residential zoning designations comprises
approximately 46% of the total land base within the City limits, as compared to 4% of the high
density residential. Commercial lands comprise 7% of the land base.
11.
The Clallam County Housing Needs Assessment (1999) indicated that there were 1,878 multi-
family rental units in 1998. According to the Washington State Office of Financial
Management, the City's April 2000, official population estimates were based on 78% single
family and 22% multi-family housing units with a declining household size. The trend in single
family and multi-family housing percentages in other communities also indicates increasing
needs for multi-family zoned land. There have been minimal changes in the City's development
in the second half of the decade of the 1990's. Multi-family uses are allowed in the
Commercial, Office zone by conditional use permit approval.
12.
Race Street is designated as an arterial and in the Comprehensive Plan as part of the crosstown
truck route. Second Street is a local access street.
13.
The SEPA Responsible Official issued a Determination of Non significance on May 21,2001
in accordance with PAMC 15.04, WAC 197-11 and RCW 43.21C.
14.
The City's action on Zoning Map Amendment REZ 01-03 is consistent with the established
procedures for amending the Zoning Code set forth in Section 17.96.100, Port Angeles
Municipal Code.
15. City Departments commented on the application. The Public Works Department noted that the
existing driveway approach onto Race Street will not be approved for a new use. The Building
Division noted that the structure would need to be brought up to ADA requirements for a new
commercial occupancy.
16. No written public comments were received. Public notice was provided in accordance with
PAMC 17.96.070.
Conclusions:
A. Rezone 01-03 is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map and policies,
specifically Land Use Element Goal B, C and E, Policies C1-C4, E2, E5 and E6, and
Transportation Element Goal B, Policies B2, B3, B6, B7 and Objective B 1.
B. REZ 01-03 would not increase the area designated for commercial development along the future
crosstown truck route.
C.
The City's action on Zoning Map Amendment REZ 01-03 is consistent with the established
procedures for amending the Zoning Code set forth in Section 17.96.100, Port Angeles
Municipal Code as the proposal is consistent with several adopted policies of the
Comprehensive Plan.

D.
Rezone 01-03 is in the public use arid interest and would not decrease multi-family housing
supply and would allow for new businesses to locate in an area designated for commercial use
by the Comprehensive Plan.
.
Commissioner 'Porter seconded the motion. There being no further discussion, the vote was
called for and the motion passed 4-1 with Chair Nutter voting against. Chair Nutter commented
that her negative vote was due to potential impacts to traffic mobility on the proposed crosstown truck
route.

ST AFF REPORTS
1-56
.
Staff provided the staff report and summarized the request by the Port of Port Angeles
to remove trees in a certain portion of the buffer at the Airport Industrial Park due to
complaints by adjoining neighbors. Several questions were raised by the
Commissioners, including whether or not there was documentation on the complaints,
exactly which trees were to be removed, enforcement of tree planting promised as
mitigation for previous permit approvals, comments by a professional forester on tree
planting and removal, alternatives to planting evergreens which may eventually result
in a future management problems, whether or not the trees will be marketed, and
whether or not any public notice on the proposal was made. The questions were
answered by City staff and Susan Bauer, representative ofthe Port of Port Angeles. The
Commission stated that the above information is required in order for a decision to be
made on the request.
.
In general, the Commission as a whole determined that the need for tree removal was
not demonstrated. Commissioner Schramm moved to deny the request for tree
removal in buffer by the Port of Port Angeles. Commissioner Norton seconded the
motion which passed 5-0. The Commission stated that they will retain authority of
this issue and not defer buffer alteration requests to staff. They also noted that staff
shall enforce previous permit conditions and provide public notice should such requests
arise in the future.
. Review of Draft CFP. Staff provided a brief overview of the materials provided in the
packet. Discussion followed.
. An invitation to a training session hosted by the City of Sequim was distributed.
Commissioners Porter, Norton, Hewins and Schramm noted that they will tentatively
attend this session. Chair Nutter stated that she would not attend.

REPORTS OF COMMISSION MEMBERS
Commissioner Schramm noted his concern that access to the waterfront trail from Francis Street
was blocked due to the construction. He added that discussion during the shoreline permit review
included that the applicant stated that temporary access would be provided. Staff noted that this
requirement was not listed as a condition. Staff stated that the latest layout of the park will be provided
in the next packet. Commissioner Nutter noted that she attended a training session hosted by the new
Farmer's Market last week which was very informative.

seconded by Boardmember Meyer and passed 4-0.
PUBLIC HEARING:
VARIANCE APPLICATION - V AR 01-05 -Howard. 2025 West Fourth Street: A
request for a reduction of the side yard setback from 7' to 2 I for a detached accessory
structure in the RS7 zone.
Boardmember Rinehart disclosed that he has done consulting work for the applicant a couple of
years ago and stated that he should step down from reviewing the proposal. Chair Gase accepted
the disclosure and Boardmember Rinehart left the meeting room.
Associate Planner Barnes reviewed the Department's report recommending denial of the variance.
Chair Gase opened the public hearing.
Ralph Howard, 2025 West Fourth Street, spoke in favor of the proposal and stated that he was
not aware of the zoning setback requirement for small accessory structures that do not require a
building permit. He added that the exception allowing a reduction of the 7-foot setback to 3-feet
for accessory buildings located in the rear one-third of the property is not a privilege that he has

as the rear one-third of the property is over the banle He asked if that exception coul d apply and ..
stated that he would also move the building over one-foot and comply with the building/fire code
requirements.
Boardmember Teichert asked several questions relating to the applicant's question about the rear
1/3 lot exception to allow a 3-foot side yard setback, clarification of topography or the property
and bluff setbacks, and also when the building was constructed. Staff answered that the language
in the ordinance reads that the rear one-third meant the property dimensions, not buildable area
of a lot. Mr. Howard clarified the site constraints and added that the structure was built prior to
final inspection of the new residence by the City.
There being no further testimony, Chair Gase closed the public hearing.
Boardmember Teichert stated that the variance request is not in accordance with the side yard
setbacks. Chair Gase added that they could grant approval for a 3-foot variance. Boardmember
Teichert stated that the adjacent home appears to be 7-feet from the side property line. Staff
added that the fence is assumed to be placed on the property line. Discussion followed.
Boardmember Meyer stat~d that there is a better place for the structure than next to the fence.
Boardmember Teichert agreed and added that the required setback does not create an undue
hardship onto the property owner.
Board Member Teichert moved to accept the staff report to deny the variance, citing the .
fmdings and the conclusions in the staff report (which are provided below). The motion was
seconded by Boardmember Meyer and passed 3 - O.
Conditions, Findings and Conclusions
for VAR 01-05
Findings:
Based on the staff report, public review and comments, and the Board of Adjustment's
discussion and deliberation, the Board of Adjustment hereby finds that:
1.
The applicant is requesting a variance to the bulk and dimensional standards set forth
by the Zoning Code. The applicant has placed a 6 foot by 8 foot detached storage
building within 2-feet of a side property line in the RS7 zone which requires a
minimum of 7-feet under PAMC 17.10.050. The application materials include
supporting information to justify approval of the variance request. This includes that
the no building permit was required for the structure since it was less than 120 square
feet in size, which is the threshold for requiring a building permit. In their discussions
with contractors and individuals, they assumed that no other regulation applied to a

structure this size. The application also states that the exception for accessory
structures to be placed within 3-feet of a side property line if located on the rear one-
third of a lot cannot apply to their property due to the topographic conditions. In
addition, consideration of neighbors' views was made. The applicant's submittal is
identified as Exhibit 1 to the Staff Report.
2.
The property is located at 2025 West Fourth Street and is legally described as Parcel B,
Shultz Short Plat, Volume 4, Page 81 of Short Plats which was filed in 1978. The
property size is approximately 100 feet by220 feet, or 22,000 square feet (0.5 acres) in
size. However, approximately 80 feet is overthe bluff and is considered unbuildable.
3.
The Public Works and Utility Department and Fire Department had no comments on
the proposal. The Building Division stated that the shed will require a one-hour fire
rating (5/8" drywall) on the east wall and ceiling if less than 3-feet from a property
line. No other agency or written comments were received at the time of printing the
staff report.
4.
A building permit for a new 2045 square foot (s.f.) home, 866 s.f. garage and 169 s.f.
covered porch area was issued in 2000 under permit # 12286). Because of the geologic
hazard, a setback of 55-feet for the home and 43 feet for the deck footings was
approved by a geotechnical engineer and were attached as conditions to the building
permit. A clearing and grading permit and environmentally sensitive areas approval
was granted for tree removal on the bluff in 1999 under ESA 98-06. Cumulatively,
3,080 square feet of lot coverage resulted from the permitted structures for a total of
13.75% lot coverage which is well below the 30% maximum set forth by the Zoning
Code.
5. The purpose of the Zoning Code is to implement the goals, policies and objectives of
the Comprehensive Plan by dividing the City into zones restricting and regulating the
location, construction, alteration of the use of structures and land, and to promote the
orderly and appropriate development of such areas. The proposed use (utility
structure) is a permitted use in the RS7 zone under PAMC 17.10.030(8) as an
accessory structure to a residential use and is consistent with the Zoning Code.
6. In order to grant a variance from the standards of the Zoning Code, the Board of
Adjustment must come to specific conclusions in accordance with Section 2.52.040 of
the Port Angeles Municipal Code.
7. The property is designated Residential, Low Density and Open Space by the
Comprehensive Plan. The most relevant policies includes Land Use Element Goal B
and C and Policy A2.
8.
The land uses adjacent to the site consist of open space and residential uses with
industrial uses at the base of the bluff along Marine Drive.
161
Board of Adjustment Minutes
July 2, 2'001
Page 4
9.
In accordance with Sections 197-11-800 (6)(b) and 197-11-908 of the Washington
Administrative Code, and Chapter 15.04 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code, the
proposed variance application is categorically exempt from State Environmental
Protection Act threshold determination and environmental impact statement
requirements.
.
Conclusions:
Based on the staff report, public review and comments, the Board of Adjustment's discussion
and deliberation, and the above listed findings, the Board of Adjustment hereby concludes
that:
A. Because the granting of the proposed variance request would allow for an accessory
structure to be placed within two feet of a side property line, the proposal would be a
grant of a special privilege and therefore would not meet the first conclusion required
for approval of a variance.
B.
Although the property is restricted due to the marine bluff, the granting of the proposed
variance request is not necessary due to other buildable areas on the property, and
therefore, the proposal does not meet the second conclusion required for approval of a
vanance.
.
C. Because the structure could be constructed to meet fire and building code requirements,
the proposed variance would not be detrimental to the public safety. However,
allowing structures within the 7-feet or 3-feet required yards is inconsistent with the
purpose and intent of the zoning code, would compromise the public health and
welfare, and therefore, the proposal does not meet the third conclusion required for
approval of a variance.
D. The proposal is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning .ordinance.
E. The proposed variance is not in the public interest by allowing accessory structures
within required setbacks.
Chair Gase called for a 5 minute break. The meeting reconvened with Board member Rinehart
joining the meeting.

VARIANCE APPLICATION - VAR 01-06 -Galgano. 719 East Caroline: A
request for a reduction of the side yard setback from 7' to 2 I for an attached
carport addition in the RS7 zone.
Associate Planner Barnes reviewed the Department's report recommending denial of the
variance. Staff added that there appears to be a question of whether or not a front yard setback
variance would also be necessary for the proposed carport. Staff recommended that the public
hearing be opened and continued to the next meeting when answers about the front property
line location are available and perhaps process the two variance requests at the same time
instead of having them apply for a second variance. Another option would be to act on the
application as proposed. A short discussion followed about the Board's preference on how to
proceed with the hearing. Boardmember Teichert asked if the carport has been constructed,
which was affirmed by staff as having been built without a permit, and asked for clarification
on the photographs provided and location of the carport in relation to the dwelling, which was
answered by Boardmember Rinehart and staff.
The Board concluded that testimony should be taken since interested persons are present in the
audience. There being no further questions, Chair Gase opened the public hearing.
Judy Galgano, 715 Caroline Street, provided written comments to the Board which responded to
the staff report. She added that this request is not a special privilege but is a special situation in
the700-block of Caroline Street where a high bluff exists. No alley is available. and everyone has
built at the front of their properties. She stated that the carport would have doors along the street
and would be attractive. She stated that nothing inflammable is kept in the carport, and that it is
2- feet from the property line.
Boardmember Teichert asked when the cCirport was built and if the builder inquired as to
construction requirements. Ms. Galgano responded that the building was constructed a couple of
months ago.
Anthony Galgano, 715 Caroline Street, property owner, questioned the dimensions provided in
the staff report on the property size. He stated that the upland area is actually 6175 s.f. ,
subtracting the unbuildable area leaves only 4550 s.f to build, which is less than lots across the
street. They added that they recently re-sided the residence and will utilize the extra siding on the
carport to blend in. The Fire Department stated that a 3-foot setback does not require a fire wall.
The posts are 2'3" from the property line.. The posts are 6" with the inside of the carport post
being 2'9" from the property line. Since the carport will not have sides, a fire wall is not required.
They do not want to create a fire hazard. The front of the carport is nearly even with the front of
the house.
Boardmember Rinehart asked who decided what the size of the carport would be. Mr. Galgano
responded that his son hired a contractor to do the work. Also asked if the contractor was licensed,
163
Board of Adjustment Minutes

"-
Mr. Galgano responded "yes". Chair Gase asked ifMr. Galgano's son could respond to a
question.
.
Paul Galgano, 719 Caroline Street, responded to Chair Gase stating that the contractor was Mike
Ulin who is licensed. Mr. Ulin knew that the county's threshold for requiring building permits is
2:400 s.f., and they assumed this was also in effect within the City. He added that the carport is
not attached as it has four posts.
There being no further testimony, the public hearing was closed. Boardmember Rinehart stated
that he visited site and requested clarification ofthe front yard setback before acting on this
request. He moved to suspend the hearing and continue the hearing to the next meeting until
the front yard setback issue is known. Boardmember Teichert seconded the motion which
passed unanimously. Chair Gase noted that action on the variance is postponed until August 6th.
Staff added that a new notice would be provided to the neighbors.

Fire damage

for PA home
No one hurt ih
Saturday blaze
BY LORA GREEN
PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
.
PORT ANGELES - A one-
story house was heavily dam-
aged by fire Saturday after-
noon.
Noone was injured in the
blaze at 126 W. 13th Street.
Sixteen-year-old Derek Kish
and his 15-year-old friend Marc
Meadows were home when the
fire broke out.
Kish discovered the smoky
fire in the basement of the
house and ran to a neighbors to
call 9-1-1.
Flames engulfed the south
side' of the house from the
basement to the roof before the
first of three pumper trucks
arrived at 3:32 p.m., Capt.
Terry Reid said.
Flames erupted from base-
ment windows and ignited the
ground floor and attic, he said.
The fire burned through the
attic to the roof, Reid said.
.
Difficult to fight
"This kind of fire is for us
more difficult than most
because it involves the base-
ment, the first floor and the
attic all at the same time," Reid
said.
"We have to be very cautious
about putting ~nybody into the
house because the structure
may have been weakened.'~
Damage to the four-bed-
room house is estimated at
$120,000, Fire Marshal Ken
Dubuc said. Damage to the
house's contents is estimated
at $50,000.
Dubuc said the fire is
believed to have been caused by
an unattended candle burning
in a basement bedroom.
Kish's family of four and
one tenant, Joel Enges, lived in
the house.
Not home
Kish's mother, Jeannie, his
12-year-old sister, Alaijh, and
his 2-year-old brother, Kolten,
were in Seattle on a four-day
visit with an aunt when the fire
broke out. Enges, 19, was not
home.
According to Kish, Meadows
was in the basement playing
Nintendo and Kish was
upstairs when the teen-agel's
smelled smoke shortly after 3
p.m.
Heavy black smoke billowed
from Enges' room when Kish
opened the basement bedroom
door, he said.
"I couldn't see anything,"
Kish said.
Kish tried to call 9-1-1, but
another extension seemed to be
off the hook, Kish said. The
boys then ran to a neighbor's
house.
"We pounded on the door
but no one answered," Kish
said. He was forced to call 9-1-1
from another neighbor's house.
Nineteen firefighters
brought the fire under control
after about;. 45 minutes, Reid
said.
According to Reid, smoke
detectors in the house did not
work.
