CITY COUNCIL MEMO
DATE: November 2, 1999
TO: MAYOR BRAUN AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Glenn A. Cutler, Director of Public Works and Utilities
SUBJECT: Carnegie Library Restoration/ Renovation Project 97-08, Phase #2, Consultant
Selection
Summary_: Phase Two of the Carnegie Library Project is to 1) restore/renovate the exterior of the
structure by repairing/replacing damaged brick, facade, windows, and main entrance doors and 2)
determine if the structure should be listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. The Public
Works and Utilities staff has advertised and determined that Olympic Design Works, Inc to be the
best qualified to develop the appropriate documents for completing Phase Two. Part one of Phase
Two will be a pre-design structural review and comparative cost analysis for restoration/renovation
of The Carnegie Library Building. Upon completion of Part One of Phase Two a report will be
provided to council prior to preceding with a full design package along with a recommendation
concerning restoration or renovation of the structure.
Recommendation: Approve selection of Olympic Design Works Inc. to provide architectural
and engineering services for Phase Two of the Carnegie Library Building
Restoration/Renovation Project No. 97-08 and authorize the Mayor to sign the negotiated
agreement, in the amount of $15,000 for Part One of Phase Two, subject to City Attorney
iapproval.
Background / Analysis: The City Council at the July 20,1999 meeting authorized the Director,
Public Works and Utilities to request proposals for architectural services for Phase Two of the
Carnegie Project. A requirement of that authorization was a 35% design recommendation
concerning the issue of renovation verses restoration, Part One of Phase Two.
In response to a newspaper advertisement soliciting proposals, the Public Works Department
received two proposals, to design and provide construction support as needed for the restoration
/renovation of the Carnegie Library Building. The design and construction funding for this project,
$240,000, was provided in the bond issue for the construction of the new Library.
Two firms, Olympic Design Works Inc. and Lindberg and Smith Architects, provided proposals for
our review. The proposals were reviewed and rated against the selection criteria noted in the request
for proposals. The Public Works and Parks Department Architectural Selection Team unanimously
selected the Olympic Design Works Inc. proposal, and determined that interviews would not be
required.
City Council Memo 11/2/99
RE: Carnegie Library, Phase II
Page 2
Phase #2 will consist of two parts, 1) pre-design cost analysis and structural review and 2)
devi:lopment construction contract bid documents. The pre-design cost analysis and structural
review will provide information to Council for the decision concerning the issue of the pros and cons
of restoration versus renovation. Part Two, development of construction contract bid documents,
will be negotiated based on Council's direction and presented for approval prior to proceeding.

CITY COUNCIL MEMO
DATE: November 2, 1999
TO: MAYOR BRAUN AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Glenn A. Cutler, Director of Public Works & Utilities
SUBJECT: Change Order No. 1, SCADA Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade
Summary: The Wastewater Division budgeted for alarm system upgrades for the City's sewage
pump stations. An existing contract with $&B Inc. can be amended to include this additional work,
as the alarms will be tied in with the Wastewater Treatment Plant's Supervisory Controls and Data
Acquisition (SCADA) system that is being upgraded under an open S&B Inc. contract.
Recommendation: Approve Change Order No. 1 to the S&B, Inc. contract, increasing the
contract by $14,450, from $19,530 to $ 33,980.
Background I Analysis: S&B Inc. was requested to provide a quote for the installation of sewage
pump station alarms as part of the planned integration of water and sewer telemetry, control and
management information systems. S&B Inc. provided a quote of $14,450 for the installation of
equipment at the Master Control Panel in the Wastewater Treatment Plant, and at each pump station.
The existing contract with S&B Inc. is to upgrade the Graphical User Interface (GUI) and Data
Management System (DMS) at the Wastewater Treatment Plant. S&B Inc. can provide the SCADA
communications system upgrade at a savings as compared to negotiating a separate contract in the
future. The attached proposed Contract Change Order provides more detailed information.
City Council action is required because the original contract was a sole source procurement and the
dollar value of the change exceeds 15% of the original contract price.
This upgrade is included in the 1999 Wastewater budget.

Attention: Kevin Curtis
Subject: Proposed Sewer Lift Station Monitoring and Conlxol System
Dear Kevin:
In response to your request, we are pleased to break down our pricing for the proposed Lift Station Monitoring and
Control System.
Our fzrst phase W°uld be to install the S&B Model 8000 Telephone Network Interface System
(TNIS) in the S&B furnished MCP at the Treatment Plant. Thc system provides the foundation
for reliable commumeations to each remote site and will provide a single common alarm from
each of your ten lift stations. These would be displayed on the panel annunciator as one point
("Lift Station Alarm") but displayed individually for each station on your new Graphical User
Interface (GUI) computer and logged and displayed on your DMS computer.
At each remote site, we would provide a RTU enclosure with the communications interface only.
Thus; when we provide the full RTU, it will be on a subpanel that will mount in this enclosure.
Price $14.450.00
Price quoted is net fob factory with freight allowed to jobsite. Included in this price are the modifications to the
MCP and start up, testing and documentation.
We would expect the citY would mount the enclosures at each lift station and we would work with City personnel to
connect the common alarm input at each station.
Using this approach, you have not purchased anything that will not be fully reused when the complete RTU is added
later. This will allow you to bring these stations up to what is described in the Master Plan over the next year or two
as budget will perrmt. The overall budget shown in me Master Plan would stay the same but you would deauet
$12,000.00 from the total price for this part of the system. The $2,450.00 difference is labor we cannot recover.
We hope this is the information you require at this time and look forward to working with you on this new GUI, etc.
Yours very truly,
Ivan W. Stead

PLEDGE OF The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag was led by Councilman Campbell.
ALLEGIANCE:
CEREMONIAL None.
MATTERS/
PROCLAMATIONS:
WORK SESSION: Lou Haelmlen, Building Official, reviewed the history of the building abatement efforts
and the process involved. He noted that following the formal abatement process
Update on Building resolves the problem the fastest; however, it would require additional manpower and
Abatement Program could prove to be costly. The costs are recoverable, but it could take some time.
Mr. Haehnlen noted that an inventory was taken in December, with the following
results: 111 structures non-repairable, 52 repairable, 12 attractive nuisances, and 22
non-compliant with current codes and regulations. Approximately 10 percent of the
non-repairable structures were removed. Staff will work with property owners to try
and resolve the problem of the remaining non-repairable structures.
Discussion followed, and Councilman Wiggins stated that this was an important
program, although it may take a long time to accomplish compliance. At Councilman
Campbell's request, Mr. Haehnlen explained the next step would be to prioritize the
structures for demolition. He would continue to attempt to help the property owners
achieve compliance. Mr. Haehnlen responded to questions and provided clarification.
Councilman Doyle suggested the Budget Committee look into possible methods of
funding this program.
LATE ITEMS TO BE Manager Quinn noted there was a late item from Don Madison, Property Manager,
PLACED ON THIS OR regarding the SR 101 sidewalk extension, which was added as Item 1. under Other
FUTURE AGENDA: Considerations.
Craig Miller, 230 E. Fifth Street, representing the Pub, Tavern & Lounge Association,
addressed the Council regarding the City's gambling tax on punch boards and pull tabs.
Mr. Miller referenced a letter to the Council regarding this gambling tax, copies of
which were provided to the City Clerk. He stated he had discussed this problem with
Manager Quinn and was advised that the Council was in the process of forming a
Budget Committee, which would be an appropriate place for discussion of this matter.
He asked that his clients be allowed to address that group.
Mr. Miller briefly reviewed the letter prepared for the Council and reminded the
Council that no other city on the Peninsula, and few in the State, levy gambling taxes.
He noted that the members of the Association employ about 200 people, pay taxes on
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
October 19, 1999
LATE ITEMS TO BE $10 to $12 million worth of property, and are an economic force in the community. The
PLACED ON THIS OR Association obtained approximately 1300 signatures on petitions seeking the reduction
FUTURE AGENDA: of gambling taxes. Mr. Miller provided the petitions to the City Clerk and asked that
(Cont'd) the Association members be heard. There were three present this evening who asked
to address the Council.
Dave Solway, 71 Farrel Place, Port Angeles Lanes, spoke in favor of reducing gambling
tax. He stated his total gross business from gambling is down 40%, and he has been
forced to reduce his staff from 11 to eight. Mr. Solway stated he has paid $2,105 more
in tax over the past six quarters than he netted on gambling. At Councilmember
McKeown's request, he explained how gambling tax is computed. Mr. Solway thanked
the Council for its time.
Veto Elkhart, 108 W. Eighth Street, Laurel Lanes, stated he has reduced his staff from
14 to nine in the past year. He felt that tax relief would allow him to put some people
back to work.
Mike Edwards, 422 Brown Road, representing the Eagles Club, spoke in favor of tax
relief. Mr. Edwards stated that fraternal clubs perform significant community service,
and he described some of the events that have been sponsored by the Eagles. He noted
the Port Angeles Eagles Club was this year awarded a Community Service Award,
Volunteer of the Year, Club of the Year, and Club Manager of the Year all for the State
of Washington. With prices and wages increasing, a decrease in gambling taxes would
allow for the continuation of community service projects.
Discussion ensued, and Councilman Wiggins asked what the City received in gambling
taxes. Finance Director Ziomkowski stated it averaged between $90,000 and $95,000
per year. It has declined since 1995, and Director Ziomkowski felt part of the impact
was due to the opening of the Casino.
Mayor Braun thanked those involved for their time and stated this would be referred to
the City Manager and the Budget Conunittee for review. Brief discussion ensued, and
Councilmembers McKeown and Doyle delineated the specific information they would
like to have provided to the Budget Committee for this particular discussion. Mr. Miller
asked to be notified as to when these discussions will take place so the Association
could be represented.
FINANCE: 1. Final Acceptance of 8~ Street Bridge Repairs [Project 99-12]
8th Street Bridge Repairs Mayor Braun reviewed the information provided by the Public Works Department.
Councilman Wiggins asked how long the repairs can be expected to last. Gary
Kenworthy, City Engineer, indicated the bridges will last as long as the City continues
to do repairs. He felt the bridges would become functionally obsolete before they
would need replacement due to structural reasons.
Councilman Doyle moved to accept the project and authorize the release of
General Construction Company's retainage in the amount of $2,478 upon receipt
of clearances from the Departments of Revenue and Labor & Industries.
Councilman Williams seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
Erosion Control and Pond 2. Bid Award for Erosion Control and Pond Cleaning Contract at the Landfill
Cleaning Contract [Project 99-05]
Mayor Braun reviewed the information provided by the Public Works Department.
Following brief discussion and clarification, Councilman Cam pbell moved to award
the bid for the Landfill Erosion Control and Sedimentation Pond Restoration,
Project No. 99-17, to the lowest responsive bidder, Delhur Industries, Inc., in the
amount of $25,442.82. Councilman Wiggins seconded the motion, which carried
unanimously.
Penn Street Repair 3. Bid Award for Street Repair Contract on Penn Street Between 2'd and 3ra
Contract Streets [Project 99-05]
Mayor Braun reviewed the information provided by the Public Works Department.
Following brief discussion and clarification, Councilman Wiggins moved to award
the bid for the Penn Street Resurfaeing, Project No. 99-05, to the lowest responsive
bidder, Maristar Asphalt Paving, Ltd., in the amount of $6,937.50. Councilman
Campbell seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
October 19, 1999
FINANCE: 4. Final ~4cceptance and Release of Retainage for the West 13th Street Sewer
(Cont'd) Main Replacement [Project 99-10J
West 13'h Street Sewer Mayor Braun reviewed the information provided by the Public Works Department.
Main Replacement Councilman Doyle asked why there was a difference of more than $8,000 between the
original estimate plus one change order and the final cost. Engineer Kenworthy
explained that there were some unstable soil conditions which resulted in additional
expenses.

COMMITTEE place regarding the Chamber/VCB joint marketing campaign which won several
REPORTS: Washington State Georgie Awards.
Councilman Doyle attended a Utility Advisory Committee meeting, but no action could
be taken as there was not a quorum present. Discussion was held regarding the
water/wastewater rate study performed by Economic Engineering Services (EES) on
behalf of the City. Representatives from EES were present at the meeting to review
their findings. Rate adjustments will be necessary in order to proceed with capital
facility planning. A recommendation will be forwarded to the Council at a future
meeting. Discussion followed regarding the possibility of raising rates and the impact
of 1-695 Attorney Knutson responded to questions and provided clarification regarding
the possibility of approving multi-year rate increases prior to 1-695 taking effect should
the Initiative pass.

Councilmember McKeown reminded the Council that, in 1999, $3,500 had been
allocated to Healthy Families for its Recovery Center. That program has been forced to
close its doors effective November 15, 1999, because of severe budgetary shortfalls due
to the fact that they service the poor, uninsured, and unemployed. The Council can
request a pro-rata refund of $438 from Healthy Families. However, she felt that this
money had already been expended due to the large number of clients treated this year,
and she asked the Council to consider allowing Healthy Families to keep the money.
Couneilmember MeKeown moved to allow Healthy Families of Clallam County
to keep the $438. Councilman Doyle seconded the motion. Following brief
discussion and clarification, a vote was taken on the motion, which carried
unanimously.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
October 19, 1999
PUBLIC HEARINGS - 1. Hearing of ExpenSes for Abatement of Property at 2321 West 18~ Street
OTHER:
Mayor Braun reviewed the information provided by the Public Works Department.
Expenses for Abatement - Councilman Williams stepped down from the issue due to the appearance of fairness
2321 W. 18~ Street and conflict of interest as he is the listing agent of the property. Councilman Williams
departed the Council Chambers at 7:15 p.m. Lou Haehnlen, Building Official, reviewed
the history of this issue. He stated the owner of the building requested the City's
assistance in removing the structures. Mr. Haehnlen explained that the cost is high due
to 149 tons of debris that went into the landfill. The actual expenditures to the City
were approximately $6,100, and the remainder represents landfill fees and staff time.
Mr. Haehnlen then responded to questions and provided clarification.
Mayor Braun opened the public hearing at 7:20 p.m. There was no public testimony,
and the public hearing was closed at 7:20 p.m. Counciimember McKeown moved to
order the charges in the amount of $18,265.35 be assessed against the property,
confirm the proposed charges and record them on the assessment roll so that said
assessment shall constitute a special assessment against and a lien upon the
property. Councilman Campbell seconded the motion. Counciimember McKeown
complimented Mr. Haehnlen on his professionalism in handling this problem.
Following limited discussion and clarification, a vote was taken on the motion, which
carried unanimously. Councilman Williams returned to the Council Chambers at 7:24
p.m.
CDBG General Purposes 2. Consideration of Application(s) for CDBG General Purposes Grant
Grant
Mayor Braun reviewed the information provided in the packet. Don Madison, Property
Manager, defined the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and explained the
types of activities it covered. Mayor Braun opened the public hearing at 7:25 p.m.
Carolyn Sparkman, 122 Mt. McDonald Road, Housing Rehabilitation Program, stated
Pon Angeles had supported applications for CDBG funds for housing rehabilitation
programs in the past, receiving four grants totaling $2.5 million. Matching funds of
almost $6 million have also been received, and 219 households have been served since
1993. The current grant expires in spring 2000, and additional funding is needed to
continue the program which allows for a safer, more beautiful community. Ms.
Sparkman reviewed the types of repairs recently funded.
Using the overhead projector, Ms. Sparkman demonstrated a home owned by a disabled
couple. She gave a step-by-step description of the work accomplished to improve the
home and bring it up to Building Code standards using grant funds. Ms. Sparkman
urged the Council to support a grant application for Phase V of the Housing
Rehabilitation Program. Discussion ensued, and Ms. Sparkman responded to questions
and provided clarification.
Dan Jacobs, Director of Serenity House, 2201 W. 18~ Street, requested the City's
support in preparing a preliminary application for a planning-only grant. He stated it
was time to replace the single adult shelter located on West 18th Street, which serves
approximately 400 people per year. This property is owned by the Port, who has been
a good landlord; however the building is old and not originally intended for its current
use. Mr. Jacobs described the structural problems being experienced at the shelter and
why it needed to be replaced. A planning-only grant would allow for the exploration
of possibilities and help fred other funding resources. Mr. Jacobs urged the Council's
support of this grant and responded to questions and provided additional information.
Peter Ripley, Port Angeles Journal, 114 E. Sixth Street, Apt. 102, offered his support
of the CDBG grant and asked if this request should go to the Port Commissioners as
landlord. Mr. Jacobs responded that the Port cannot be a requestor of CDBG funds.
There was no further testimony, and Mayor Braun closed the public hearing at 7:45 p.m.
Mayor Braun noted that staff requested this hearing be continued, and discussion
ensued. Councilman Doyle asked if these funds could be used for the structural
abatement program. Mr. Haehnlen, Building Official, felt the CDBG funds were for
single family dwellings; most of the abatement issues are for detached accessory
structures and would not, therefore, qualify for this type of funding. Don Madison,
Property Manager, stated it was too late to get this program running for this grant.
However, he felt that in the future, a program can be set up for this purpose as the
structures listed in the abatement program are considered a blight, which could be
covered by CDBG grants. Staffwill attempt to work this into next year's application.
crI'Y COUNCIL MEETING
October 19, 1999
CDBG General Purposes Councilman Doyle moved to continue the public hearing to November 2, 1999.

Mayor Braun reviewed the information provided by the Fire Department. Councilman
Hulett asked if the discharging should be limited to 6:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., but asked if
the sales should be earlier in the day. Chief Becket replied that State law addresses this
question, and the sale and use of fireworks is limited to this time period. Limited
discussion followed, and Mayor Braun read the Ordinance by title, entitled
ORDINANCE NO. 3027
AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles,
Washington, allowing the sale and use of

Resolutions Not Requiring Public Hearings: None
SR 101 Sidewalks Other Considerations
State Route 101 Property Purchase for Sidewalk Installation
Mayor Braun reviewed the information provided by the Public Works Department and
stated he felt extending the sidewalk was an outstanding idea. Councilman Wiggins
asked why the land had to be purchased instead of the owner cooperating with the
sidewalk program. Gary Kenworthy, City Engineer, stated the Department of
Transportation (DOT) had purchased the other property needed for this project. He felt
this piece of property was overlooked, as it is relatively small; therefore, the State was
going to end the sidewalk a little short. This problem was brought to the Council's
notice and the simplest way to correct it was for the City to make the purchase and the
State to do the paving. Discussion followed, and Mr. Kenworthy responded to
questions and offered clarification.
Couneilmember MeKeown moved to authorize staff to proceed with the 260
square foot piece of property along Hwy. 101 at a cost not to exceed $800.
Councilman Doyle seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.

Lamoureux regarding the Whidby Avenue watermain break and noted that Page 72 of
the packet gave some detail on this issue.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
October 19, 1999
CDBG Grants Regarding CDBG applications, Manager Quinn felt there were many opportunities for
the City in other areas that are eligible for CDBG that can be explored in future years
in terms of community facilities and projects. While he agreed the Housing
Rehabilitation project is admirable and worthy, there are many other projects that would
meet the criteria for these grants. Staff is looking into multiple applications to the State,
as the grants are based on the merits of the projects.
Budget Meeting Manager Quinn noted that he had distributed copies of the Budget Work Session
minutes to the Council. Contained therein are the City Council's goals and objectives
for the Year 2000. Corrections and changes to the goals can be made at the next
Council meeting.
Capital City for a Day Manager Quinn announced that Port Angeles will be the Capital City for A day on
November 16, 1999. The Governor and many of his department managers will be in
Port Angeles that day meeting with various groups. Manager Quinn briefly reviewed
the agenda for the day. The focus of the session will be economic development for the
City of Port Angeles and discussion on this issue will be held with various groups.
In conjunction with the Governor's visit, Manager Quinn noted that November 16 is
also a regularly scheduled Council meeting night. He asked the Council if it wished to
change that meeting date, as there was going to be a town meeting held that evening.
Discussion followed, and it was the general consensus of the Council that the meeting
be changed to November 17, 1999.
Audit Exit Interview Councilmember McKeown stated she had been present at the exit interview for the 1998
audit. She lauded the efforts of Director Ziomkowski and her accounting staff, as the
City received an exemplary audit.
Manager Quinn noted that Councilman Williams had deferred his Committee report and
asked the Council if it wished to return to that. Mayor Braun agreed.
Councilman Doyle asked if the Coast Guard Station was again planning a large
celebration as they have in the past and Mayor Braun responded affirmatively.
Referring to the bottom of page 120, Councilman Doyle asked if use of the Teen Scene
was decreasing. Chief Ilk responded that in the month of September there were
approximately 200 fewer visits, but he felt it was seasonal as the decline begins when
school is in session.
CITY COUNCIL Councilman Williams stated he had attended the Science, Technology and
COMMITTEE Manufacturing Association meeting. There was a presentation by Bill Harper regarding
REPORTS: (Cont'd) the software development company that is considering relocation to Port Angeles.
Councilman Williams felt it was a very interesting discussion. The software company
is seeking a large, campus type piece of property. At Councilman Williams's request,
Director Collins explained some of the zoning districts and their intended uses.
Councilman Williams stated discussion had also been held at the meeting regarding
whether zoning issues should be addressed before or after the City receives such a
request. Councilman Williams stated he offered his support in encourage development
and suggested any road blocks be referred to the City Manager.
Manager Quinn stated that he and Tim Smith, Economic Development Director, are
!ooking. into this matter. His experience indicates that most businesses are interested
~n coming into a community that has had some preliminary planning and anticipation
for their type of business. These businesses are not interested in the long process of
zoning changes and the placement of infrastructure and utilities.

To: MAYOR BRAUN AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Glenn A. Cutler, Director of Public Works and Utility Services
SUBJECT: Right-of-Way Acquisition Procedures
Summary: Agencies using federal highway funds to purchase right-of-way are required to adopt
acquisition procedures consistent with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) rules and
submit then to Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT). The attached
acquisition procedures have been reviewed and are acceptable to FHWA and WSDOT.
Recommendation: Adopt the attached resolution, which adopts the current state and
federal right-of-way acquisition procedures.
Background / Analysis: The Deputy Director Engineering Services/City Engineer, Public Works
and Utilities is certified by the Washington State Department of Transportation, Local Programs,
to acquire fight-of-way for federally funded projects which the City administers locally. Our
current right-of-way procedures were amended and approved in October 1986. Recent changes
to federal regulations have caused our procedures to become outdated and nonconforming. As
an example, our current procedure designates the Deputy Director as the one who prepares
appraisals and the City Engineer as the person who actively negotiates right-of-way purchases.
Under the existing federal regulations, he does not meet the qualifications to perform those
functions and is currently the same person.
To prevent future occurrences, where rule changes at the state or federal level could cause delays
in funding or acquisition on future projects, we recommend the adoption of the new procedures
attached hereto. These procedures have the affect of adopting, by reference, the Washington State
Department of Transportation Right of Way Manual and Local ~lgency Guidelines.

Subject: Sole Source Resolution for IBM Networking Hardware
Summary: A component of the PenCom regional computer system upgrade is the design,
procurement and installation of a local area network connecting the Police Department and
communications center to its IBM AS400 minicomputer. A local firm, Daniel L. Gouin, Inc. has
agreed to contract with the City to provide these services within the time frame required. Mr.
Gouin and his staff are exceptionally knowledgeable of the current system and the computer
upgrade project. The firm has provided an estimated equipment schedule recommending IBM
hardware. A sole source resolution is desired to ensure compatibility with existing equipment.
Recommendation: The Port Angeles Police Department recommends that the City council
adopt a sole source resolution and authorize the City Manager to negotiate and sign a contract
with Daniel L. Gouin, Inc. not to exceed $56,000.
Backgr01lnd/Analy~is: The software and hardware upgrade of the regional PenCom computer
system is in its final stages. The funding for this portion of the project was obtained from the users in
1996. The communications center is preparing to cut over to the new software in early December.
The remainder of the Police Department is preparing to do the same by January 1, 2000. It is
therefore essential that the network is designed and compatible equipment installed prior to this time
to allow for training and possible unplanned delays This course of action of contracting with a firm
is necessary due to our failure to attract qualified candidates for the system administrator position
earlier this year.
RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION of the City Council of the City of Port Angeles,
Washington, designating the IBM Corporation as the sole source for
acquisition of AS 400 related equipment and declaring an exception to
normal bidding requirements.
WHEREAS, the City of Port Angeles has contracted with IBM to provide hardware for
the Peninsula Communications Computer System; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to remain with IBM manufactured equipment for reasons
of compatibility with the existing AS 400 minicomputer, compatibility with existing operating
software, general efficiencies in system maintenance and interchangeability of equipment, and in
order to provide additional equipment capable of providing backup of silhouette service and
integration with the current system;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Port
Angeles as follows:
Section 1: The IBM Corporation is hereby designated the "sole source" equipment
vendor for acquisition of AS 400 related equipment.
Section 2: An exception from normal bidding requirements is herewith implemented,

FROM: Becky J. Upton, City Clerk/Management Assistant
SVBJECT: Taxicab License Application - Michael & Marjorie Ewing - Acme Taxi
Summary: Michael & Marjorie Ewing, Acme Taxi, have filed an application with the City
Clerk's office for a Taxicab Business License. The issuance of such a license is subject to City
Council approval.
Recommendation: That the City Council approve the Ewing's Taxicab Business License,
subject to the terms and conditions as set forth below.
Background/Analysis: Michael & Marjorie Ewing are requesting approval of a Taxicab
License for their new company, Acme Taxi. If conditional approval is granted, they plan to secure

applicant's proposed rates, as well as copies of the proposed signage. Also attached is a sample copy
of petitions that were circulated by the applicant expressing a need and necessity for another taxi
service in the City. Ninety-nine signatures were obtained on the petitions. Another attachment for
your reference was submitted by Mr. Don Cosser, owner of Blue Top Cab, expressing the belief that
Port Angeles would not be better served by two cab companies.
Because the applicant does not wish to make further financial investment in the business until the
time conditional approval is granted by the Council, it is staff's recommendation that the Ewing's
application be approved by the City Council, subject to the following terms and conditions:
1. Each vehicle approved for licensure by the City of Port Angeles shall also be licensed by the
State of Washington as a for-hire vehicle.
2. Each vehicle licensed shall be equipped with an approved fire extinguisher and first aid kit,

DEAR BECKY UPTON,
THIS LETTER IS A FOLLOW-UP ON OUR RECENT PHONE CONVERSATION REGARDING
THE POSSIBLE EMERGENCE OF ANOT}{ER CAB COMPANY IN PORT ANGELES. AT
THAT TIME, I STATED TO YOU THAT MANY RUMORS WERE CIRCULATING.
SINCE THAT TIME, IT HAS BECOME APPARENT THAT THE APPLICANT WOULD BE
MICHAEL EWING, ONE OF MY tg~PLOYEES. I TALKED TO MIKE LAST NIGHT,
OCT. 24/2{, AND HE ADMITTED HE WAS IN SOME STAGE OF THE APPLICATION
PROCESS. WE AGREED THAT WE WOULD BOTH BE BETTER SERVED IF HE DID NOT
WORK FOR ME AT THIS TIME.
IT IS APPARENT MIKE EW-iNG'S PLAN IS AT LEAST A COUPLE OF MONTHS OLD.
HE HAS USED THIS TIME TO SPREAD RUMORS, DISRUPT SERVICE AND PROMOTE
THE POSSIBILITY OF HIS OWN BUSINESS. I DO RESENT HIM DOING THIS ON
COMPANY TIME.
ONE OF MIKE'S DUTIES, WHEN WORKING, WAS TO MONITOR ~ NUMBER OF PEND-
ING CAI,T,S AND TO ENSURE THE DISPATCHER CALLED FOR BACK-UP HELP WREN
REQUIRED. THIS WAS OFTEN DONE ONLY WHEN BLATANTLY APPARENT.
MIKE HAS BEEN TOLD ~IAT IN ORDER TO START ANOTHER CAB COMPANY, HE
MUST DEMONSTRATE A NEED FOR ANOTHER C(IMPANY. HE HAS STARTED A PETITON
DRIVE, PLACING PETITIONS IN VARIOUS BARS. I HAVE NOT SEEN THIS PETITION.
SOME CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE SIGNED THIS PETITION STATED THAT THEY DID
NOT KNOW WHAT IT SAID. IT'S JUST " SOMETHING THAT MIKE NEEDS "
I DO NOT BELIEVE PORT ANGk~.FM WOULD BE BETTER SERVED BY TWO CAB
COMPANIES. WE HAVE RECEIVED VERY FEW COMPLAINTS OVER THE YEARS AND
I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY COMPLAINTS RECEIVED BY THE CITY. IN THE BRIEF
PERIODS OF COMPETITION I HAVE EXPERIENCED, T}IE RIDING PUBLIC HAS
EXPERIENCED MUCH CONFUSION, PARTICULARLY BAR PATRONS.
42
I AM AWARE OF RECENT PROBLEMS IN MY OPERATION AND HAVE TAKEN STEPS
TO CORRECT THEM. WE NOW HAVE BETTER COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN DRIVERS
AND DISPATCHERS TO ENSURE MORE CARS ARE PUT ON THE ROAD IN A TIMELY
MANNER. WE WILL BE OPERATING MORE EFFICIENTLY WITHOUT INTERNAL
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.
I WOULD BE PLFASED TO FURTHER DISCUSS THIS LETTER OR ANY~ ELSE
PERTINENT TO THE SITUATION AT ANY TIME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR
CONSIDERATION.

CITY COUNCIL MEMO
DATE: November 2, 1999
TO: MAYOR BRAUN AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Glenn A. Cutler, Director of Public Works and Utilities
SUBJECT: Set Public Hearing For Water/Wastewater Rates
Summary: Results of the water/wastewater rate study performed by Economic and Engineering i
Services will be available for consideration by the Council at the November 17, 1999 City Council
meeting.
Recommendation: Set a public hearing for November 17, 1999, to accept public comment on
proposed revision of Water/Wastewater rates.
Background / Analysis: On August 3, 1999 a contract was awarded to Economic and Engineering
Services, Inc., to perform a comprehensive water and wastewater rate study. The Utility Advisory
Committee is scheduled to consider the results of the study at their meeting on November 8, 1999
and bring their recommendation to the Council for consideration on November 17, 1999.
A public hearing is not required to establish utility rates, however, it has been the practice of the City
Council to offer residents an opportunity to present their views to the Council. The last review of
water/wastewater rates was performed in 1994.

CITY COUNCIL MEMO
· DATE: November 2, 1999
TO: MAYOR BRAUN AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Glenn A. Cutler, Director of Public Works & Utilities
SUmECT: Membership on the Clallam County Solid Waste Advisory Committee.
Summary_: The City is a voting member on the Clallam County Solid Waste Advisor Committee.
Councilman Orville Campbell is the City's representative and there is no alternate. Consideration
should be given to naming a City Council altemate and designating a staff member to attend the
meetings as a resource person and also represent the City in the absence of a City Council
representative member.
Recommendation: Select a City Council member as an alternate voting member of the Clallam
County Solid Waste Advisory Committee and designate Tom McCabe, Solid Waste Collection
Supervisor, to attend the meetings as a resource person and also represent the City in the absence of
a City Council representative. Authorize the City Manager to forward a letter to Clallam County
designating the representatives.
Background / Analysis: The City is a voting member on the Clallam County Solid Waste Advisor
Committee. The City's representative is Councilman Orville Campbell. The alternate in the past
has been Mr. Jack Pittis, former Public Works and Utilities Director, and Mr. Robert Titus, Deputy
Director of Utility Services. During Councilman Campbell's recent illness and due to the departure
of Mr. Pittis and Mr. Titus, the City did not have representation on the committee.
Ms. Becky Upton, City Clerk, advised that Councilman Campbell was appointed by the City
Council as a City Council committee assignment with no alternate. It is recommended that
consideration be given to naming a City Council member to be an alternate and that a staff member
be designated to attend the meetings as a resource person and represent the City in the absence of
the City Council representative.
The alternate staff member should know the workings of Solid Waste and be able to respond to
questions asked by the committee and our representative. This person should also have authority
to vote on issues in the absence of the Council representative. Staff recommends Tom McCabe,
Solid Waste Collection Supervisor, be appointed as the staff resource and alternate to the SWAC.
Dale Miller, City Recycling Coordinator, has been serving as a resource to the committee and should
continue to be a staff resource to the committee, although not a voting alternate.

CITY COUNCIL MEMO
DATE: November 2, 1999
To: MAYOR BRAUN AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Becky J. Upton, City Clerk/Management Assistant
SUBJECT: Special City Council Meeting for Planning Commission Interview(s)
Summary: The Planning Commission currently has two (2) vacancies. Mary Craver recently
resigned, and Jason Robotkay just submitted a letter of resignation, a copy of which is attached. It
is necessary to till these vacancies as quickly as possible so as to assure a full complement of
Planning Commissioners. Applications have been submitted by Bob Philpott and Charles Schramm.
Recommendation: That the City Council set a special meeting for November 17, 1999, at
approximately 5:30 p.m. to interview Messrs. Philpott and Schramm for the Planning
Commission. The Council may wish to forego an interview with Mr. Philpott by virtue of the fact
he was just interviewed for a position on the Planning Commission in April, 1999.
Background / Analysis: Staffhas been in the midst of advertising to fill Mary Craver's position
on the Planning Commission. Another position has been vacated by the recent resignation of Jason
Robotkay, who is moving outside the City limits.
At the present time, two applicants have expressed interest in being appointed to the Planning
Commission: Robert Philpott and Charles Schramm. It is suggested that the City Council set a
special meeting for November 17, 1999, at 5:30 p.m., to conduct interviews. Should the Council
determine it unnecessary to again interview Mr. Philpott, the special meeting could be set for 5:40
or 5:45 p.m.

Dear Sue,
I would like to inform you of my decision to resign from the City
Planning Commission. The reason for my resignation is because I
will be moving out of the City limits in December and I will not be
eligible to hold the position. My family and I have decided to
purchase a house on some land that we own on Taylor Cutoff.

TO: 1VIAYOR BRAUN AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Michael Quinn, City Manager~'~-~
S~JBJECT: Public Hearing - Budget
Summary_: The City Council is required by State Statute to hold a Public Hearing on revenue
sources and on the proposed budget.
Recommendation: Set a Public Hearing date for November 17, 1999 to conduct public
hearings on Year 2000 Revenue Sources and on the Year 2000 Proposed Budget.
Background / Analysis: State Statutes enumerate specific requirements for the budget process,
including the public input encouraged through a public hearing process. RCW 84.55.120 requires
a public heating on revenue sources including the possible increase in property tax sources in order
to inform the public. RCW 35A.33.070 requires a final hearing on the budget by the City Council.
It is our intent to conduct both of these hearings on the same evening, and if the Council has any
concerns that would necessitate further input, then the hearing could be continued as necessary. It
is also our intent to be ready for adoption of the Budget at your December 7th meeting.

Martha Ireland called. She is a member of the RTPO "Peninsula Enhancement Grant Advisory
Committee". The committee will be meeting on Thursday, November 4, (for the entire day) at
the P.A. Library to consider six (6) applications, three (3) of which are in our jurisdiction. One
of the applications is a joint City/County application.
Anyway, Martha is unable to attend that particular meeting. Because the other Commissioners
are also unable to attend, Martha must send someone as a representative who is an elected
official in the jurisdiction. She would like the City to name a Council member to attend this
meeting on the 4th of November in her stead. The representative attending the meeting will be a
voting member and will be an active participant in the selection process.
Martha was hoping that you would be willing to contact the Council members to determine who
might be interested in attending this very important all-day meeting. She indicated it would be
helpful to find out now who might be available on that particular day and then confirm the
appointment at the Tuesday evening Council meeting.
Martha FAXed the attached for our information.

CITY COUNCIL MEMO
DATE: NOVEMBER 2, 1999
To: MAYOR BRAUN AND CiTY COUNCIL
FROM: Planning Department
SUBJECT: TURNER ANNEXATION PETITION - ANX 99-02
South of State Highway 101 West between Doyle and Old Joe Avenues
Summary: A public hearing to consider a petition for annexation of approximately 4.53 acres.
Recommendation: The Planning Department recommends that the City Council concur with
the recommendation of the Planning Commission to approve the annexation petition as submitted
with conditions.
Background / Analysis: Following Council's approval of the request to circulate an annexation
petition on May 18, 1999, Mr. and Mrs. James Turner submitted a valid petition for annexation of
approximately 4.53 acres of property. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the
annexation request at its regular August 25, 1999, meeting. Testimony was received from several
surrounding property owners at the meeting. The neighbors had questions regarding their
responsibilities if the property were to be annexed. It was explained to those present that the
neighboring properties would not be responsible for any improvements required of the annexing
parties as the surrounding properties cannot annex to the City at this time. Following the hearing,
the Commission recommended that the City Council approve the petition but required that abutting
portions of State Highway 101 West and Doyle Avenue be included in the annexation. Those
portions of right-of-way were not included in the original petition. Because the required rights-of-
way had not been included in the original petition, the Turners were informed that in order to
continue consideration of the annexation, a revised petition would have to be submitted and acted
upon.
A revised petition was received on September 26, 1999, and a second public hearing was duly
advertised. Parties of record to the first action were notified of the intended procedure. Following
the second heating conducted on October 13, 1999, the Commission reaffirmed its original
recommendation to Council for approval of the annexation petition. An ordinance accomplishing
the annexation with conditions along with the Commission's findings, and conclusions in support
of the action are attached for your consideration.

The second petition, correspondence received between the first and second hearings, excerpts of the
Commission's August 25 and October 13, 1999, minutes as well as staff's original report are also
attached for your information. Staff will be available for questions.

PUBLIC HEARINGS:
ANNEXATION REQUEST - ANX 99-02 - TURNER. Old Joe Road and Doyle
Road: Request for annexation of approximately 4.53 acres to the City of Port
Angeles. (This item was originally considered on August 25, 1999. The intended
action required a revised petition.)
Planning Director Collins reviewed the Planning Department's report indicating that the
petition originally received from the applicants did not include portions of abutting rights-of-
way which the Planning Commission recommended be included following a public heating
conducted on August 25, 1999. Therefore, a new petition was submitted to correct that
situation. Staff's position has not changed and the August 25, 1999, Planning Department
Staff Report was noted as part of the record. A letter fi'om Patty McCullough, 302 Doyle
Avenue, received on September 21, 1999, was included in the new record. A letter received
October 13, 1999, from the petitioners, was noted. Chair Hewins opened the public hearing.
Margo Turner, 3904 South Reddick Road, Port Angeles, stated that she has nothing new
to add to staff's report. Development concerns will be addressed at the time development
is anticipated. There are no firm plans at this time.
Cynthia Shillington, 322 Doyle Road, Port Angeles, opposed the annexation. The lack of
utilities restricts the development at present, where if annexed to the City utilities would be
made available. The property could develop to a much higher density if annexed into the City
which the neighbors oppose. Annexation of the area could open the door to more annexation
in the area which would result in a more urban environment than what is desired.
Paula Gustafson, 39 Doyle Avenue, Port Angeles, stated that bear, eagles, hawk, deer, and
possibly cougar have been witnessed in the area. An increase in traffic, which could be the
result of annexation, would negatively affect the animal population. The accident rate at
Doyle Road and Highway 101 is very high. Two accidents have occurred at that location in
the previous week. Annexation would cause more congestion at the confusing intersection.
Monica McGoff, 133 Doyle Avenue, Port Angeles, is not against development but is
opposed to more development in the area than is there at present. She did not believe that
anyone in the area opposes the zoning that currently exists (residential). The State
Department of Transportation has listed the Doyle Avenue/Highway 101/Tumwater Truck
Route intersection as a high priority for upgrade due to accidents. She opposes participation
in utility improvements in the area which may be brought about or caused by annexation
including upgrades to roadways. Old Joe Avenue is very narrow. If further development
occurs in the area, both Doyle and Old Joe Avenues need to be upgraded.
Director Collins clarified in response to Mrs. Shillington that the proposed annexation area
can actually be developed to a greater density while in the County than if annexed to the
City. The county's existing Low Density (LD) zoning designation allows for more units per
acre than would the City's proposed RS-9, Residential Single Family zoning. Therefore, the
City's standards are more restrictive.

The proposal is within the City's Urban Growth Area CLIGA). It is the only parcel of
property within the UGA in this location that is not within the City limits. Property outside
of the City's UGA cannot petition for annexation without a change to the UGA boundaries.
Property owners outside of the proposed annexation would not be permitted to hook up to
City services or be required to pay for those improvements. Old Joe Avenue is not of
sufficient width to become a City right-of-way.
Monica McGoffwondered why the applicants want to be annexed if it would result in a
more restrictive zoning than they now have. Chair Hewins answered that the main question
before the City at this time is whether or not the area should be annexed. Specific
development questions or issues dealing with a change in zoning are not relevant at this
juncture.
There being no further discussion, Chair Hewins closed the public hearing.
Following brief discussion, Commissioner Reed moved to recommend approval of the
petition for annexation citing the following conditions, findings, and conclusions:
Conditions:
1. The annexation shall bear a pro rata share of the outstanding bonded indebtedness of
the City.
2. Pursuant to PAMC 17.95.110 and the Growth Management Act Element Policies B. 1
- 10 of the City's Comprehensive Plan, the zoning classification of the annexed area
shall be the RS-9, Residential Single Family zone.
3. At the time of development, water, sewer, street, and storm drainage in the area shall
be upgraded to meet City LOS standards including fire flow requirements.
Findings:
1. On April 14, 1999, the Planning Department received an annexation request from
Mr. and Mrs. James Turner for a 4.53 acre area located south of US Highway 101
between Doyle and Old Joe Avenues.
2. On May 18, 1999, the City Council sent the request to the Planning Commission for

Re: TURNER ANNEXATION-ANX 99-02
Meeting of 10/13/99, 7:00 P.M.
PO~T
When we started the process of annexing to the City, we had no idea that some
of the area property owners would react negatively to the change. We presu/~ed
that since the property was in the Urban Growth Area and zoned for residential
housing the neighbors were aware that sometime in the future the land would be
developed.
To date our strongest opponents are not located directly across from our
property. Cynthia Shillington and Patty Mc Cullough drive more than 1000 feet
past our property to their homes on a dead end cul de sac. Monica Mc Goff
and Vern Pritchard also live past our property and we feel that they want us
to continue to provide a play area for their children and do nothing to change
the land.
we have heard either directly or indirectly from most of the immediate
neighbors. Their varying opinions are: 'That land has been idle too long,
- it's time the County/City let someone do something there. People should
realize that things change."; one neighbor told me she would rather see mini
storage units in that area; I was told that other direct neighbors 'Aren't
thrilled, but don't feel they have a right to tell someone else what to do
with their land; one neighbor said she would rather see a commercial truck
shop there instead of homes; another neighbor is optimistic that whatever goes
in there will be compatible with the neighborhood, but feels he doesn't have
the right to tell us what to do with our property; I was told that another
neighbor requested that his property be added to the City along with our land.
To address the traffic' issue, the Old Joe Road is not as wide as some County
roads, however 2 vehicles are able to pass each other on the road. Highway
101 has a center turn lane which begins well to the east of Doyle and
continues west past Fairmount Avenue.
What seemed to be a simple annexation has turned out to be anything but
simple.
Thank you for your patience and consideration.
Sincerely,
65

ANNEXATION REOUEST - ANX 99-02 - TURNER. Between Old Joe
Road and Doyle Road: Request for annexation of approximately 4.53 acres
of land situated west of the City limits.
Planning Director Collins reviewed the Planning Department's staff report proposing a
recommendation of approval in the matter. He clarified that an alternative zoning of
Residential Medium Density (RMD) from the staff's recommendation of Residential Single
Family (RS-9) would also be appropriate for the area if annexed. The RMD zoning would
be more consistent with the current zoning in the County of Urban Low Density (LD). He
noted late comments from the Fire Department and the Public Works Department. The
applicant should be aware that the Fire Department will require fire flow meeting Uniform
Fire Code requirements be provided for development within the annexation and that the
Public Works Department will require the City's water, sewer, and storm drainage service
standards to be met when development takes place. The subject property contains an
easement for a private waterline through which City water passes.
In response to an inquiry from Commissioner Norton, Gary Kenworthy, City Engineer,
_ explained that years ago several residents in the area petitioned the City to provide water.
A private waterline was constructed, and the City provided the water to 8 residents in the
area through that line. The line recently failed, and, due to health concems, a difficult
enforcement action resulted, which had nothing to do with the applicant but which essentially
forced the replacement of the waterline by the residents.
Planning Director Collins responded to Commissioner Reed that there is no development on
the property in question at present.
Planning Director Collins clarified to Commissioner Nutter that the applicants, not the City,
would be responsible for utility services, water, sewer, power, roads in the proposed
annexation area.
In response to Commissioner Hewins, Fire Marshall Dan McKeen said that residents in the
proposed annexation area would have the option of installing residential fire sprinkler
systems or alarm bells.
Acting Chair Hewins opened the public hearing.
Margo Turner, 3904 South Reddick Road, stated that she and her husband purchased the
property but have been unable to develop it due to lack of services in the area. She is aware
that upgrades will be required. They have no immediate plan for development but wish to
plan for it.
Commissioner Reed asked Mrs. Turner what her thoughts are with regard to staff's option
of Residential Medium Density rather than Residential Single Family. She answered that
she doesn't know what the differences are between the two zones. They don't really have
a preference as to residential zoning designations but wish to be in the City to have the
opportunity to develop the property where at present they cannot. 6 7
Planning Commission Minutes - August 25, 1999
Page 6
Mr. Collins responded at the direction of the Acting Chair in explaining the difference
between Residential Single Family and Residential Medium Density allowances. Mrs.
Turner said she would be agreeable to the RMD zoning.
Cynthia Shillington, 322 Doyle Road, has owned property on Doyle Road since 1972. The
purchasers must have known when they purchased the property what the development
constraints were. The area is very rural in nature with narrow roads. She detailed the road
system in the area and her thoughts regarding fire, traffic, and water concerns. She
questioned why area residents were not provided with individual notice of the annexation
proposal. She was not as concemed about annexation to the RMD zoning but would not
support a commercial zoning for the site which could be possible with annexation to the
City.
Monica McGoffen, 133 Doyle Road, did not notice the posting sign on the property until
recently. When she purchased her home 14 years ago a real estate agent assured her that
there would not be any more development in this area because there were no more water
shares available. There is a lot of standing water in the area which also makes development
difficult. Neighbors deal with very low water pressure daily, some have holding tanks and
some don't use water during periods that it is scarce. She was concerned that the annexation
would require neighbors in the area to pay for upgrades for utilities which would be required
if the area is annexed. When the City's Comprehensive Plan was being developed, only the
area in question was designated as being in the urban growth area because surrounding
residents didn't want to be in the City.
In response to Ms. McGoffen, Engineer Kenworthy responded that other residents in the area
would not be required to participate in utility upgrades unless they wished to for their own
purposes. Such an action could be approved through an area wide Local Improvement
District (L.I.D.) which would include both City and County residents.
Vern Pritchard, 133 Doyle Road, said that there are still three or four houses hooked up to
the old failing waterline due to a dispute regarding repair fees. How would the annexation
affect that situation? He is happy to live in the rural area even given the low water pressure
and even if it means his house burns down due to low water pressure.
Stacy Bullock, 185 Doyle Road, opposed the annexation proposal and commented that she
was unaware of the proposal until recently. Her children read the sign and told her about the
proposal. The roads are very narrow and the water pressure is zero.
Planning Director Collins responded to some of the concerns raised. Due to the
unavailability of an adequate water source in the area, as testimony indicated, the applicants
cannot develop the property. To address the concerns raised about notification in the event
of annexation, Mr. Collins pointed out that state law (RCW 35A. 14.130) does not require
68
Planning Commission Minutes -August 25, 1999
Page 7
individual notification of surrounding property owners under the direct petition method. The
posting of the property was done and was noticed by all those present at the hearing, and a
publication was placed in the Peninsula Daily News for general notification. A specific
zoning action would require notification of property owners within 300' of a proposed
property. He recommended that Doyle Road and Old Joe Road on the east and west borders
of the property be annexed leaving out those portions of Highway 101 not fronting on the
site.
Engineer Kenworthy answered that any existing water services to the annexed property
would be abandoned and a new service would be required just for the subject property to
meet the City's minimum standards. The surrounding County residents would continue
using the existing smaller private line.
Mrs. Shillington stated that she finds it very hard to believe that the City residents would not
some way have to pay for some development in the event the area is annexed.
There being no further comments, Acting Chair closed the public hearing.
Discussion continued regarding roads, water, and zoning issues.
The Commission took a 5 minute break. The meeting reconvened.
Following lengthy discussion regarding utilities and roadway needs, Commissioner Reed
moved to recommend approval of the annexation request with the following conditions:
Conditions:
1. The annexation be approved with the assumption of the City's bonded indebtedness.
2. The property will be zoned as RS-9, Residential Single Family Zoning upon
annexation and will include that portion of Doyle Road adjacent to the annexation
area.
3. Water, sewer, street, and storm drainage in the area shall be upgraded to meet City
LOS standards.
4. Upgrade will be made such that the annexed area complies with minimum City fire
flow requirements through the Uniform Fire Code.
Findings:
1. On April 14, 1999, the Planning Department received an annexation request from
Mr. and Mrs. James Turner for a 4.53 acre area located south of US Highway 101 at
Euclid Street on Old Joe Road.

RE: Annexation Proposal - ANX 99-02
APPLICANTS: Mr. and Mrs. James Turner
LOCATION: Old Joe Road, Doyle Avenue, Highway 101 West
PROPOSAL: Annexation of approximately 4.53 acres
The City Council has approved the applicants' request City CounCil to circulate an annexation
petition for property consisting of 4.53 acres. The property is located in the City's Urban Growth
Area (UGA) and is situated directly south of the Fairmount Restaurant. City utilities are located
north of Highway 101 in the area near the restaurant.
The applicants are owners of more than the required sixty percent assessed evaluation of the
property included in the signed annexation petition for as required by RCW 35A. 14.120. The
petition includes the City's two requirements regarding annexation - assumption of bonded
indebtedness and designation of zoning. The property will be zoned as RS-9, Single Family
Residential, consistent with the Port Angeles Regional Comprehensive Plan.
Although not in the City, the area has been served by City water for many years. That water
service has failed in the past two years and is in the process of being reconstructed.
Factors considered under RCW 35A.14.200 in review of annexation proposals include "the
configuration of the area, comprehensive use plans and zoning, the likelihood of significant
growth .in the area and in adjacent incorporated and unincorporated areas during the next ten
years, location and coordination of community facilities and services, the probable effect of the
annexation proposal or alternatives on cost and adequacy of services and controls in the area, and
the effect of the annexation proposal or alternatives on adjacent areas."
A Determination of Non-Significance No. 870 was issued for the proposed annexation on
August 20, 1999, and this concludes the SEPA review.

subject property fronts on US Highway 101. .
7. The factors considered under RCW 35A. 14.200 in review of annexation proposals include
configuration of the area, comprehensive use plans 'and zoning, the likelihood of significant
growth in the area and in adjacent incorporated and' unincorporated areas during the next ten
years, location and coordination of community facilities and services., the probable effect of the
annexation proposal or alternatives on cost and adequacy of services and controls in the area, and
the effect of the annexation proposal or alternatives On adjacent areas."
8. The Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan as amended June, 1997, contains 10 policies (Growth
Management Element Policies B 1-10) directly related to annexations.
9. The proposed promotional annexation must comply with the City's annexation policies as
established in the City's Comprehensive Plan and Resolution 18-78.
1. As conditioned, the proposed annexation is consistent with the City's annexation policies as
established in the Comprehensive Plan Growth Management Element (Policies BI-10)

CITY COUNCIL MEMO
DATE: November 2, 1999
To: MAYOR BRAUN AND CiTY COUNCIL
FROM: Glenn A. Cutler, Director of Public Works and Utility Services
SUBJECT: Personnel Replacement - Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Superintendent
Mr. Kevin Curtis, Wastewater Treatment Plant Supervisor, has given notice that he has accepted
another position and has left his position with the City. The position has been reviewed and it is
recommended that the position should be filled at the superintendent level instead of the supervisor
level. This is necessitated due to the complexity and skill level requirement needed to ensure that
the WWTP will continues to operate efficiently and within our NPDES permit. The redesignation
of the position to superintendent brings the City in line with the practices of other Plants around the
State.
The WWTP staff consists of six personnel: 1 - Treatment Plant Superintendent (Vacant)
1 - Treatment Plant Operator III (Vacant - Recruitment pending)
1 - Treatment Plant Operator II
1 - Treatment Plant Operator I
1 - Water Quality Control Specialist
1 - Lab Specialist
These positions are the minimum necessary for the efficient operation of the WWTP. Treatment
plant personnel not only operate the plant they also operate the leachate system at the City landfill
and work with local businesses to assist in the enforcement of the pre-treatment ordinance.
The superintendent position is a reclassification of the existing position vacated by the supervisor.
The position is funded by the wastewater utility fund and the personnel expense increase will be
approximately $7,500 per year.

A. Park Board Appointments;
Staff explained that there are several vacancies on City boards and
commissions. City staff has been discussing procedures that would ease the
burden on council of filling board vacancies. Staff has discussed the possibility
of each board conducting their own interviews. The boards would then send
recommendations to Council for approval. The Senior Center Board has been
operating in this way for years. Park Dept. Staff wants the Park Board to be
prepared for a pending Council approval of this policy change, and wants the
board to consider issues such as; should the entire board be involved or a sub-
committee; recruitment of potential members; etc.
Park Board
September 16, 1999 2
L. Perrizo felt the entire board should be involved in the selection process.
Staff urged the board to recruit applicants who maintain a broad base of
interests in order to keep the board diverse.
B. Francis Street Project:
The city utilized grant funding to acquire this property. The terms of the
grant also allowed limited funding for development. Rather than utilizing
general fund dollars to front the acquisition, water-wastewater funding was
utilized. These funds were used because of the future need that water-
wastewater has for the property. Additionally, a substantial donation was part
of the acquisition limiting the amount of City funding that was necessary.
Water-wastewater provided approximately $375,000 and the state reimbursed
$240,000.
Staff is asking for Park Board concurrence with the concept plans for
development of the property, and is seeking a recommendation that the state
reimbursement ($240,000) be utilized for development of the project.
Following park board discussion regarding Water/wastewaters future need for
the property, the Park Departments willingness to pursue and obtain grant
funding for the acquisition, as well as the Park Departments obligation to
develop and maintain the property, Park Board concurred that the entire state
reimbursement should be utilized for the project.
M. Kirsch moved to fonvard to City Council, Park Board's approval of the
concept design for Francis Street Park Project as presented by Terma Planners
& Architects, and additionally, recommend that the State reimbursement
funding be used for development of the park. L. Perrizo seconded the motion
which carried.
C. Review of Banner Policy:
Current language in the banner policy states that "advertisements or
promotions of non-profit organizations", is an allowed display. The language
leaves interpretation open for the definition of advertisements and promotions.
Under the current language, a non profit organization (i.e. Goodwill) could
advertise a 50% off retail sale. Recently, a non profit organization advertised
affordable senior housing. The recent use could be loosely interpreted as
Park Board
September 16, 1999 3
within the policy, however staff feels that the message is outside the intended
use of the banner facilities.
Discussion ensued on various aspects of the current policy. All agreed the
banners are intended as a community service; to relay information pertaining
to community events. Generally it was Suggested the banner is not intended
to advertise goods and services - but to announce entertainment, recreational,
and sporting events or fund-raising efforts of local non-profit community
service organizations. It was suggested that staff prepare a policy that better
reflects the intended use of the facilities.
A draft of the revised policy will be written and brought back for Park Board
approval.
D. Approval of Holiday Policy. - Senior Center:
Approximately a year and a half ago the Senior Center Board of Advisors
initiated a policy closing the Center on legal holidays. Under the current
policy, holiday use of the building only occurs on a scheduled/fee basis,
including those programs sponsored by the City. Initiation of the policy
resulted in decreased use of the building on holidays, and Director Brodhun is
concerned that the policy is not aligned with the department mission, or the
mission for the provision of service to older adults.
Staff has drafted a revised policy which would allow holiday use of the
building. The policy outlines procedures that would result in safe and secure
use of the facility, would serve the older adult population, assist self supporting
groups, increase participation, and improve the program. The Senior Center
Board is willing to consider the revised policy at their October meeting. A Park
Board recommendation may assist The Senior Center Board of Advisors in
their deliberation.
L. Perrizo moved to approve the revised policy to open the Senior center on
legal holidays in order to be accessible to the citizens of the city of Port
Angeles. M. Kirsch seconded the motion. Having no further discussion and
Upon call for the question, motion carried.

ANNEXATION REQUEST - ANX 99-02 - TURNER. Old Joe Road and Doyle
Road: Request for annexation of approximately 4.53 acres to the City of Port
Angeles. (This item was originally considered on August 25, 1999. The intended
action required a revised petition.)
Planning Director Collins reviewed the Planning Department's report indicating that the
petition originally received t~om the applicants did not include portions of abutting rights-of-
way which the Planning Commission recommended be included following a public hearing
conducted on August 25, 1999. Therefore, a new petition was submitted to correct that
situation. Staff's position has not changed and the August 25, 1999, Planning Department
Staff Report was noted as part of the record. A letter from Patty McCullough, 302 Doyle
Avenue, received on September 21, 1999, was included in the new record. A letter received
October 13, 1999, from the petitioners, was noted. Chair Hewins opened the public hearing.
Margo Turner, 3904 South Reddick Road, Port Angeles, stated that she has nothing new
to add to staff's report. Development concems will be addressed at the time development
is anticipated. There are no finn plans at this time.

Cynthia Shillington, 322 Doyle Road, Port Angeles, opposed the annexation. The lack of
utilities restricts the development at present where if annexed to the City, utilities would be
made available. The property could develop to a much higher density if annexed into the City
which the neighbors oppose. Annexation of the area could open the door to more annexation
in the area which would result in a more urban environment than what is desired.
Paula Gustafson, 39 Doyle Avenue, Port Angeles, stated that bear, eagles, hawk, deer, and
possibly cougar have been witnessed in the area. An increase in traffic, which could be the
result of annexation, would negatively affect the animal population. The accident rate at
Doyle Road and Highway 101 is very high. Two accidents have occurred at that location in
the previous week. Annexation would cause more congestion at the confusing intersection.
Monica McGoffi 133 Doyle Avenue, Port Angeles, is not against development but is
opposed to more development in the area than is there at present. She did not believe that
anyone in the area opposes the zoning that currently exists (residential). The State
Department of Transportation has listed the Doyle Avenue/Highway 101/Tumwater Truck
Route intersection as a high priority for upgrade due to accidents. She opposes participation
in utility improvements in the area which may be brought about or caused by annexation
including upgrades to roadways. Old Joe Avenue is very narrow. If further development
occurs in the area, both Doyle and Old Joe Avenues need to be upgraded.
Director Collins clarified in response to Mrs. Shillington that the proposed annexation area
can actually be developed to a greater density while in the County than if annexed to the
City. The county's existing Low Density (LD) zoning designation allows for more units per
acre than would the City's proposed RS-9, Residential Single Family zoning. Therefore, the
City's standards are more restrictive.
The proposal is within the City's Urban Growth Area (UGA). It is the only parcel of
property within the UGA in this location that is not within the City limits. Property outside
of the City's UGA cannot petition for annexation without a change to the UGA boundaries.
Property owners outside of the proposed annexation would not be permitted to hook up to
City services or be required to pay for those improvements. Old Joe Avenue is not of
sufficient width to become a City right-of-way.
Monica McGoffwondered why the applicants want to be annexed if it would result in a
more restrictive zoning than they now have. Chair Hewins answered that the main question
before the City at this time is whether or not the area should be annexed. Specific
development questions or issues dealing with a change in zoning are not relevant at this
juncture.
There being no further discussion, Chair Hewins closed the public hearing.

the City.
2. Pursuant to PAMC 17.95.110 and the Growth Management Act Element Policies B. 1
- 10 of the City's Comprehensive Plan, the zoning classification of the annexed area
shall be the RS-9, Residential Single Family zone.
3. At the time of development, water, sewer, street, and storm drainage in the area shall
be upgraded to meet City LOS standards including fire flow requirements.
Findings:
1. On April 14, 1999, the Planning Department received an annexation request fi.om
Mr. and Mrs. James Turner for a 4.53 acre area located south of US Highway 101
between Doyle and Old Joe Avenues.
2. On May 18, 1999, the City Council sent the request to the Planning Commission for
review and a recommendation and set a date to discuss the request with the applicants
for the City Council's June 1, 1999, meeting, per RCW 35A. 14.120.
3. Two property owners constitute the proposed annexation area.
4. The County's Port Angeles Regional Comprehensive Plan land use designation and
zoning in the proposed annexation area is LD, Low Density.
5. The proposed annexation area is within the Port Angeles Urban Growth Area.
6. The nearest City utilities are located across (north) of US Highway 101 at this
location. The subject property fronts On US Highway 101.
7. The factors considered under RCW 35A. 14.200 in review of annexation proposals
include "the configuration of the area, comprehensive use plans and zoning, the
likelihood of significant growth in the area and in adjacent incorporated and
unincorporated areas during the next ten years, location and coordination of
community facilities and services., the probable effect of the annexation proposal or
alternatives on cost and adequacy of services and controls in the area, and the effect
of the annexation proposal or alternatives on adjacent areas."

Commission moved to recommend approval of the annexation petition to the City
Council with the condition that those portions of Highway 101 and Doyle Road
adjacent to the proposed annexation area be included in the annexation.
13. Due to the fact that the original petition did not include adjacent rights-of-way, an
amended petition was submitted on September 26, 1999, to include those portions
of Highway 101 and Doyle Avenue adjacent to the proposed annexation area. A
second public hearing was scheduled for October 13, 1999, to consider the amended
petition.
14. Parties of record were notified of the October 13, 1999, public heating by U.S. Mail
on September 24, 1999.
Conclusions
1. As conditioned, the proposed annexation is consistent with the annexation policies
as established in the City's Comprehensive Plan Growth Management Element
(Policies BI-10), Resolution 18-78, and the factors to be considered under RCW
35A. 14.200.
2. The City's policies encourage annexation within the Port Angeles Urban Growth
Area, which was established to accommodate growth expected to occur over the next
twenty years.
3. Inclusion of U.S. Highway 101 and Doyle Avenue rights-of-way will aid the
provision of city services to the subject site.
4. The annexation is in the public interest.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Nutter and passed 5 - 0.
Commissioner Reed commented that the'issues before the City at this time are regarding
annexation. Development issues or those that may come up as a result of a zone change
request to the City are not relevant at this time.

Director Collins reviewed the Planning Department's staff report. Chair Hewins opened the
public hearing.
Mary Ellen Winborn, 332 East Fifth Street, represented the applicant in asking that the
extension be approved for an additional year. She responded to Commissioner King that
other Hospital developments have occurred which have delayed the completion of the
projects which caused the need for the temporary parking lot.
Chair Hewins asked if the driving construction projects would be completed within the
additional one year's time? Ms. Winbom answered that she believed so.
Commissioner Nutter noted that parking in the area of the Hospital is very, very poor. She
applauded the Hospital's efforts to provide needed off street parking.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - CUP 99-14 - VOICE STREAM
WIRELESS. 2807 Porter Street: To allow the placement of a 3 sector panel
antenna array and a dish antenna on an existing 150' tower in the PBP, Public
Buildings and Parks zone.
Director Collins reviewed staff's report recommending approval of the conditional use
permit. In response to Commissioner Nutter, Mr. Collins answered that the existing tower
is on federal property (Bonneville Power Administration) and it is believed that no permits
were obtained to erect the tower under those circumstances. Chair Hewins opened the public
hearing.
John McDonagh, 111 Werner Road, Port Ludlow, displayed an antenna similar to that
proposed for the Commission's education. The proposed antennas measure approximately
5" x 8" x 2 ½" and weigh 17 pounds. He addressed possible concerns regarding radio
frequency issues by submitting a statement fi.om a certified engineer as to fi.equency
limitations and indicating that the proposed operation would operate within .01 of the
acceptable limitations set by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC). The
Department of Health determines acceptable limitations of radio frequency operations for
human exposure. Voice Stream's operation is restricted by its FCC license. Approval by the
Department of Health is part of the FCC license procedure. He presented a map indicating
the coverage needed for telecommunication carders to operate efficiently.

In response to Commissioners Robotkay and King, Mr. McDonagh stated that Voice Stream
is installing 17 sites from the Hood Canal west with 3 or 4 sites being in Port Angeles. Most
of their sites are colocated.. Voice Stream did not do a windload study - Bonneville Power
did. There being no further discussion, Chair Hewins closed the public heating.
Commissioners Hewins and Nutter stated concern that the existing tower may be
nonconforming with respect to the City's zoning regulations as it was constructed without
benefit of a conditional use permit. Director Collins noted that as the property is federally
owned, normal zoning standards may not apply. He did not believe that approval of the
subject conditional use permit activity would in fact legitimize the existing tower.
Commissioner Reed agreed that action on the application doesn't legitimize the existing use.
Director Collins noted that there was some question as to whether the City could even
require a conditional use permit on federal property. Rather than deal with the issue of
jurisdiction in this instance, the applicant chose to proceed with the City's conditional use
permit process in the hope that it would be less time consuming and more corporate friendly.
Commissioner Reed moved to approve the conditional use permit as requested citing
the following conditions, findings, and conclusions:
Conditions:
1. Approval is for the application as submitted and identified as Attachment B to the
October 13, 1999, Planning Department Staff Report for CUP 99-14.
2. The equipment and operation of such shall be in compliance with Federal
Communication Commission licensing requirements for such facilities.
Findings:
The following findings are based on the information provided in the October 13, 1999 Staff
Report for CUP 99-14, including all of its attachments. Consideration was also given to the
comments and information presented during the October 13, 1999 public hearing, and the
Planning Commission's discussion and deliberation. Consequently, the City of Port Angeles
Planning Commission hereby finds:
1. The applicant, Voice Stream Wireless, applied for a conditional use permit to install
wireless communication antennas on an existing 150' lattice tower at the southeast
comer of Park Avenue and Porter Street. The application is identified as Attachment
B to the October 13, 1999 Staff Report for CUP 99-14;
2. The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designation for the site is Low Density
Residential [LDR];
3. The site is zoned Public Buildings and Parks [PBP];

6. A four foot diameter microwave dish antenna will also be mounted on the tower at
the 140' level. Ground support equipment with a height of less than six feet will be
located near the existing BPA control house. The equipment will be enclosed by a
nine foot high fence.
7. The Utilities and Public Services Element Goal A is "To provide or allow the
opportunity for services and facilities which enhance the quality of life for Port

during it's public comment period which ran from September 15, 1999 to October
1, 1999.
9. Section 17.94.170 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code exempts antennas from the
Zoning Code's height restrictions.
Conclusions:
The following conclusions are based on the information provided in the October 13, 1999,
Staff Report for CLIP 99-14, including all of its attachments. Consideration was also given
to the comments and information presented during the October 13, 1999 public hearing, the
Planning Commission's discussion and deliberation, and the above listed findings.
Consequently, the City of Port Angeles Planning Commission hereby concludes:
A. The project as conditi6ned is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, Zoning

WIRELESS. 406 S01~th Laurel Street: To allow the placement of a 3 sector
panel antenna array and 2 dish antennas on an existing 60' tower in the RHD,
Residential Single Family zone.
Director Collins reviewed the Planning Department's staff report recommending approval
of the use as requested. Chair Hewins opened the public hearing. Director Collins read into
the record a letter from Rita Pollock, 110 West Third Street, who opposed the additional
antenna due to view concerns.
John McDonagh, 111 Werner Road, Port Ludlow, indicated that support equipment which
is intended to be placed on the roof of the existing U.S. West Communications building will
not be screened from surrounding properties due to its position below the roof wall. A back
up battery will be used in lieu of a generator.
He thanked staff for condensing the issues and for the short order processing of the
application.
There being no further testimony, Chair Hewins closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Nutter questioned the length of time the subject U.S. West tower has existed.
Commissioner Reed stated that he worked at the site in the early 1960's and the tower was
existing at that time. As this is the main primary telecommunication facility for the City and
has been in operation for many, many years at this location, it was the consensus that the
tower had been in existence since well before current zoning regulations.
Commissioner Reed moved to approve the shoreline substantial development permit
as proposed citing the following conditions, findings, and conclusions:
Conditions:
1. Approval is for the application as submitted and identified as Attachment B to the
October 13, 1999, Planning Department Staff Report for CUP 99-15.
2. The equipment and operation of such shall be in compliance with Federal

CLALLAM COUNTY
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL
To: Governmental' Partners
CC: Board of Directors; Council Membership
From: Bart Phillips, Executive Director ~
Date: Wednesday, October 20, 1999
Re: Third Quarter 1999 Report
Results and activities for the quarter ending September 30, 1999.
Business Recruitment and Marke'dng
The Council attended the ICCM (Incoming Call Center Management) Trade Show
in Chicago in September. Eight leads were developed with follow-up mailing and
telephone contact.
In addition to attendance at the Trade Show, the Council placed ads in partnership
with the Port of Port Angeles and the City of Port Angeles in Call Center Magazine.
The ads generated sixteen leads that were treated similar to ICCM leads.
The Council generated 16 investment leads through participation at the Anaheim
Woodworking and Furniture Supply show in early August. All were sent investment
information and received a follow up phone call. Two specifically expressed
interest in this area, and of those, one has made further contact with a request for
additional information.
Case and Proposal Management
The Council continues to work with the Port on a number of clients attracted to the
Port's multi-tenant industrial building. During the quarter, the Council prepared two
proposals for call centers interested in Clallam County as a location. Two other
proposals were developed for leads generated by the State of Washington.
Council to Lead Trade Show Marketing Consortium
The Clallam County EDC will mange participation in six industrial trade shows in
2000 for a group of eight statewide EDCs and Ports. Participants include the EDCs
121
in Skagit, Lewis, Grant, Chelan, Yakima and Spokane counties and the Port of
Olympia. This cooperative agreement reduces the Council's hard costs to $3,000
, for our participation. The Council will be reimbursed for its management at 15% of
costs or approximately, $5,000. The trade shows are focused on value added
wood products, plastic, medical equipment and diversified manufacturing.
APCO Selected to Market Port Angeles
The Council has engaged the firm of APCO Associates of Seattle to prepare the
strategic marketing and communications plan for the City of Port Angeles. APCO
will evaluate existing target markets and develop a 3-5 year marketing and strategic
plan to attract investment to Port Angeles. To date, APCO CEO Scott Jackson has
met with 40 local business leaders and elected officials to form an understanding of
local development issues. From these meetings as well as meetings Scott
arranged for Bart in the Seattle area, a unique approach is being developed. The
draft plan will be available for review by the City in November with implementation
in January 2000.
Infrastructure Development- South Fairchild Industrial Park
In August, the Council, as contractor for the Peninsula Development Association,
received $40,000 in grant funding from the Economic Development Administration
to do the pre-engineering design for infrastructure to serve the Port of Port Angeles'
South Fairchild Industrial Park. The design will address water, sewer, power,
telecommunication and stormwater facilities for the industrial area south of the
airport. This money will be matched by a local investment of $35,000 supplied by
the City of Port Angeles and Port of Port Angeles.
Clallam Bay/Sekiu
The Council was invited to apply for, and was awarded, a $46,000 grant from the
US Forest Service to fund the remaining architectural work for the renovation of the
Sekiu Community/Conference Center. Clallam County will contribute $11,500 as
match to the Forest Service award to fund this $57,500 project. The Council will be
the project manager, and will report to the County and the Forest Service. It is
expected that this project will conclude in early 2000 with the resulting construction
documents to take the project to construction bid.
Industrial Site Inventory
The Council presented the Port Angeles inventory to the Port Angeles Works
Committee in August. The inventory has been upgraded with pictures of the sites
as well as site maps. A further update utilizing input from our real estate partners
will occur in the last quarter of 1999. Pictures and site maps will be included for
sites in Sequim, Forks and Clallam Bay/Sekiu as well as other parts of the County..
Business Assistance
During the Quarter, Kathleen Purdy, Small Business Development Specialist,
provided counseling for over 15 businesses. During the Quarter, SCORE
counselors met with approximately 26 clients.
In September, the Council, in conjunction with SCORE, held an all-day marketing
workshop. SCORE Marketing specialist Fred Parkinson from Jefferson County lead
the workshop and was assisted by local experts Rick Hert, Laurel Black and
KONP's Kevin Murphy. Fourteen entrepreneurs attended the workshop and
expressed interest in future sessions.
An Olympic Microloan Fund loan was made to a local business for $8,800. This
company provides 2.5 jobs plus employment for the owners. The loan will allow
this company to expand their product distribution and provide for potential growth
opportunities.
122
Business Re~nt]on
^ finding of the recently completed Business Retention and Expansion Survey was
that permit processing was a major issue. Consequently, the Council held a series
of focus group meetings with the development community and Clallam County
Department of Community Development to identify issues and recommended
actions. As a result, the Department is moving forward with reorganization of the
Department to increase efficiencies. Most important, Director Bob Martin has
committed to establish benchmarks for permit processing.
