Dear Governor Locke:
II is a pleasure to announce that Auburn, Port Angeles. and
Vancouver. Washington, are designated as Regional Sites by the ,
Veterans Day National Committee for the year 2000, our Nation's 47th
annual Veterans Day observance. Each year. the Veterans Day
National Committee confers Regional Site status on a small number of
communities whose Veterans Day observances set examples for the
rest of the Nation to follow.
As the Secretary of Veterans Affairs and Chairman of the
Veterans Day National Committee. it is my honor to represent the
President in coordinating special events in support of Veterans Day with
the Department of Defense, national veterans service organizations. and
State and local officials. I ask for your assistance in supporting the
efforts of these Regional Sites and other local Veterans Day
celebrations within your State. I encourage you to appoint a State
Veterans Day Chairperson to assist in publicizing Veterans Day
celebrations throughout Washington.
Through our combined efforts, the Auburn, Port Angeles, and
Vancouver, Washington, celebrations will be a credit to our Nation. our
veterans and your State.

CITY OF PORT ANGELES
102 EAST FIFTH ST.
PORT ANGELES, WASHINGTON 98362
PHONE (206) 452-4545
August 27, 1991
Mr. John Somers
422 E. Front st.
Port Angeles, WA 98362
Dear Mr. Somers,
This letter is to serve as a record of the meetings held recently
regarding providing the second exi t for the Bible Book Store
basement located at 125 West 1st Street in Port Angeles. In
attendance at those meetings was Port Angeles Building Official
Larry Romig, Mike Somers, you, and me.
At the conclusion of those meetings, the following tentati ve
agreement was reached.
1. The upper walk way would be sealed to reduce the leakage into
the basement.
2. The surface of the ceiling immediately below the walk way
would be covered with visqueen, sealed and sheeted.
3. A wall would be installed as per your drawing on the north
entrance into the basement. This wall will be constructed on
a six-inch footing. In the wall will be an approximate 3 X 5
slider window and an 3068 exit door with level landings on each
side of the exterior dOQr and two vent holes in the north wall
for future mechanical ventilation.
All labor and materials for the three items would be provided by
the City in settlement of an earlier agreement to guarantee
"access" to the basement of the Bible Book Store in exchange for
the installation of the "walk way."
It was also agreed without further modification to the heating,
lighting, or ventilation of the basement, the newly enclosed area
would be used exclusively as an exit corridor.

October, 2000. > .>l-Ial"Vl!Y Douglas Kallln
Beginning last March in front
page news stories, we were in-
formed that the corporate giant,
Unisys, was looking at our little
community to be its West Coast
demonstration project. Its pro-
posal: to link schools, govern-
ment, non-profit organizations,
and businesses in a "commu-
nity website."
Immediately on announcing its
plans, Unisys requested direct,
public funding, later modifying
this request to the extent of ex-
pressing a willingness to receive
such funding through the subter-
fuge of a "private foundation."
When Unisys'representative,
Mr. Saxton, was in Port Angeles,
in a round-table discussion with
governmental leaders held at
City Hall, he asserted that what
Unisys wanted was a "partner-
ship" with government. Around
the table he went asking each
participant in turn what he or
she wanted: the Bus wanted
more ridership, the Health De-
partment, more public aware-
ness, and so on. It was as if Mr.
Saxton were Santa Claus saying
"yes" to them all. Apparently
there wasn't a designated adult
present to ask any hard questions
about the nature of this "partner-
ship" which is too bad, for were
Unisys' proposal ever accepted,
government would cease being
an arbiter between opposing
commercial interests but a par-
ticipant. It's imperative that the
fire-wall between government
and commerce be maintained.
Unisys terms its proposal "our
community website" but in real-
ity it's their website in our com-
munity. Because it's theirs, not.
ours, they have a legal right to
track us, to eavesdrop on us, to
profile us, and sell our private
information to the highest bid-
der. They also have the right
to bombard us with advertising,
indoctrinate us, or steer us to
that portion of the Web which
will generate the most profits for
themselves. Do we really want
Unisys to have a privileged place
in the public schools or to inter-
face between us and govern-
ment? Note: in the published
timetables for approval, none
provide for a vote of the people.
We can hope but we can't vote.
Instead we will be "surveyed."
To de-mystify the World Wide
Web, let us think about it in
terms of its most basic com-
ponent -- a phone call involv-
ing the private exchange of
information over a common
public carrier. Whether such a
call is conducted person-to-
person or, as with e-mail.com-
puter-to-computer, should not
alter our expectation that our
privacy will be respected.
When contacting our doctor,
our lawyer, our bookseller, a
family member or friend, we
should have the confidence
that our communications are
secure. And fair is fair: you
do not subsidize my phone
bill nor underwrite the cost of
my website, nor I yours, so
why should any of us be sub-
sidizing Unisys'?
Typically, in metropolitan
areas, advertisers are drawn to
the local, daily newspaper hav-
ing the greatest circulation,
which is why most cities have
only one. But now that nearly
1/2 of all households are online,
and with new features coming
along, such as streaming audio
and streaming video, the Web
might yet become the medium
of choice both for classified ad-
vertising and for news. Unisys,
which speaks of hosting a "com-
munity bulletin board," might.
well expand this concept into a
full-fledged news service. No
problem in itself, only govern-
ment should be left out of the
equation. News gathering is
rightly a function of the private
sector, not the public sector.
Is Unisys' eagerness to have us
accessgovernmentthroughiffi
website part of a strategy to jump
start its market share? Generat-
ing more foot traffic, as they say
in the ad biz, undoubtedly would
generate more advertising dollars
for them, but the downside for us
is, if we're not vigilant, or even if
we are, we could find local news
eventually being derived from
only one source, potentially a sad
loss for diversity of expression.
Initially, on anouncing its
plans for a "community web-
site," Unisys would not rule out
the possibility of its becoming
an Internet Service Provider
(ISP). Enough alarm bells went
off that it quickly backpeddled,
shelving the idea for now. As an
ISP, Unisyscould've required its
subscribers to enter the Internet
through its homepage, which, as
"our community website," pre-
sumably subject to "community
standards," would give Unisys,
the gatekeeper, an ideal pretext
for instituting Web censorship.
Meanwhile, Unisys continues
characterizing its would-be site
as a "portal," i. e., a door to other
sites, as if it were an AOL or Ya-
hoo, when all it is, is a glorified
website. To date the Web has
been wide-open and the choice
of where to go is ours. Corpor-
ate censorship, by no means be-
yond the realm of possibility,
would represent a major loss of
personal freedom.
One of Unisys' claims is that
it can help us define our com-
munity and bring us all closer
together through its website.
Thanks to the good people liv-
ing here, we already have a
well-defined community, not
that more couldn't be done, but
who should be doing this: an out-
side corporation or local people?
Another of Unisys' claims is
that of advancing the competi-
tiveness of local business, but
it's not careful in distinguishing
what kind of businesses it means.
No doubt large chain stores en-
gaged in the mass-marketing of
standardized products would
benefit, but it's not so obvious
how helpful Unisys is going to
be to the small, local proprietor.
Which is better: that our com-
puters should talk to the small
business person's computer
through Unisys' website or that
we should talk person-to-per-
son? An aspect not to be lost
sight of in face-to-face commu-
nities is personal contact.
The misappropriation of our
social security or credit card in-
formation is called identity theft.
To protect against this we're
told we need additional security.
Unisys, promoting itself as a
"security" company, claims that
our online financial transactions
would be safe with them. In de-
termining this, we might want to
examine Unisys' track record: is
there anything in its past leading
us to believe that it is less than
a good corporate citizen? While
it's gone unreported so far by
local media, there are disturb-
ing stories circulating. For in-
stance,Jhe Sequim branch of the
public library carries a book
published in 1995, titled: When
the Pentagon Was for Sale by
Andy Pasztor. A meticulously
documented account, it relates
the following: that in 1990 Uni-
sys signed the largest fraud set-
tlement agreement in US history,
amounting to over $190 million
in fines, penalties, and foregone
profits. Evidently, Unisys was
involved in such matters as stol-
en, top secret Pentagon docu-
ments, clandestine campaign
contributions made in violation
of federal law, bid-rigging, and
false billings. Also, members of
Congress were given free va-
cations and that college schol-
arships were doled out gratis to
their children. This book fur-
ther relates that Unisys, in order
to carry out these activities,
maintained a $17 million slush
fund, billing the monies expend-
ed to "technical service arrange-
ments," meaning that we taxpay-
ers got to pick up the tab.
In describing his relationship
with Navy procurement czar,
Melvyn Paisley, Unisys'vice-
president, Charles Gardner, said:
it became "cozier and cozier" be-
fore finally shifting to "bribes-
ville." The same occurred with
the deputy assistant secretary of
the Air Force for tactical war-
fare, Victor Cohen, whom Uni-
sys also corrupted with bribes.
Like activities were occurring
in Army and Marine programs.
Other settlements against Uni-
sys: in New Mexico, $12 mil-
lion for padding its billing; in
Arizona, Unisys pled guilty to
inflating charges for Army com-
puter work. And in 1991, Uni-
sys was convicted of systematic-
ally overcharging the military
on flight-trainer contracts.
When Unisys' consultant John
Roberts III caught wind of FBI
raids occurring June 14th, 1989
(a day on which 44 sites nation-
wide were raided), he and his
wife, Robbie, began "straighten-
ing out things," as she put it, at
their residence, meaning rip-
ping up and bagging incrimi-
nating' evidence relating to Uni-
sys' campaign contributions.
Lacking a fireplace they invit-
ed a friend over to spirit the ma-
terial away. To forestall this, the
FBI, who had been listening in
on a phone tap, sought and then
executed a search warrant. As
one FBI agent observed, on en-
tering the residence, he found
Mrs. Roberts chewing a golf-
ball sized wad of paper. Pulped
cellulose for dinner again?
Presumably the shenanigans
ended when Unisys unloaded
its military contracting division
for almost a billion dollars (!).
But the idea that it has now em-
braced a higher moral posture
would be more plausible were
it not seeking a special relation-
ship with government, not only
here in Port Angeles, but also
in West Chester, Pa., its home
base. Equally disturbing is Uni-
sys'lack of candor. Why would
it come to these communities
seeking millions of taxpayer
dollars and yet not provide a
single piece of paper describing
its operation? By dangling the
promise before the public for 6
months, but not its actual web-
site, Unisys did much to short-
circuit rational consideration.
The Broadway hit, The Music
Man, is about a traveling sales-
man whose gimmick was to con-
jure up grand illusions: "76 trom-
bones in the orchestra, 110
coronets right behind." Also he
played on fear: "You've got
trouble right here in River City,"
etc. Then, as soon as he makes
the sale, he skips town, leaving
the locals poorer and disillusion-
ed. Now that Unisys' pitchman
has departed, and who knows
why, except we're told that
"philosophical differences" were
involved, will there be a new
degree of objectivity toward
Unisys' claims by those to whom
Mr. Saxton sang a siren song?
Unisys is for Unisys. Should
it succeed in extracting millions
of dollars from the 300 commu-
nities it currently proposes to en-
ter, West Chester, its headquart-
ers, will benefit handsomely, a
fact that should give us pause
before following its example.
Without anyone's permission,
Unisy is free at any time to set
up shop in our community. And
all who wish to do so are free to
subscribe to it. If Unisys' mark-
eting concept is valid, it'll fly; if
not, it'll fold, thus mirroring the
experience of many other dot-
coms. Either way, the need is
not for governmental interven-
tion but a level playing field.
A fmal observation: instead
of approaching elected officials
in public meetings, Unisys goes
behind their backs to the bureau-
cracy where behind closed doors
it seeks to establish private un-
derstandings. In announcing
that it's not going to reveal its
plans for our area until after it
confers with the cities of Port
Angeles, Sequim, and Forks,
Unisys shows little real appre-
ciation for democratic process.
Instead it seems intent on driv-
ing a wedge between citizens
and government.
Unisys can jolly well pull in its
horns and start playing the game
of commerce by the same rules
the rest of us have to play by.
Meanwhile, let's hope, given its
history of wiring deals behind
the scenes, that a whole new
meaning doesn't attach to the
expression: "wired city."
A company in turmoil, Uni-
sys is experiencing job layoffs
and plummeting stock values,
additional reasons for scrutiniz-
ing closely its bona fides. Of
interest is a pending class-ac-
tion, civil suit against Unisys
and its top management regard-
ing recent, allegedly illegal,.
stock market manipulations.

UNISYS MISLED INVESTORS, LAWSUIT BY SPECTOR &
ROSEMAN, P.c. ON BEHALF OF INVESTORS ALLEGES
PHILADELPHIA-(BUSINESS WIRE)-October 28, 1999 -- Spector &
Roseman, P.e. announced that on October 28, 1999, it filed a class action
lawsuit for violations of the federal securities laws in the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against Unisys
(NYSE:UIS) and its two highest officers, on behalf of all persons who
purchased Unisys common stock between May 4, 1999, and October 14,
1999. (Case No.: 99-CV-5333)
The Complaint charges that Unisys and three of its highest officers
violated Sections lO(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The Complaint alleges that defendants issued materially misleading press
releases purporting to describe large contracts with major customers,
which failed to reveal that the contracts were subject to regulatory and
other contingencies, and therefore could not be expected to generate
revenues in the near future.
The Complaint further alleges that defendants utilized their inside
information regarding the artificial inflation of the Company's stock price
to sell significant amounts of their personal Unisys stock holdings, for
proceeds of over $4 million. In addition, the complaint alleges that the
artificial inflation of the price ofUnisys stock permitted the company to
complete an acquisition of Pulsepoint Communications for fewer shares
of stock.
If you purchased Unisys common stock during the May 4, 1999, through
October 14, 1999 time period, you may wish to join the action. You may
move the court to serve as a lead plaintiff on or before December 27,
1999.

None.
Presentation on Electronic Home Monitoring: Mayor Doyle briefly reviewed the staff
memorandum in the Council packet with regard to the proposal for the City to enter into
a regional Electronic Home Monitoring program through the Washington Association
of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs (W ASPC). Police Chief Riepe introduced Sf. Assistant
City Attorney Dennis Dickson and Mr. Bill Lowman, W ASPC.
Assistant City Attorney Dickson addressed the Council and indicated the City's use of
electronic home monitoring has resulted in significant growth and [mancial savings.
Every effort is made to thoroughly screen potential candidates for the program and, thus
far, only three individuals have been removed from the program because they violated
the program conditions. Assistant City Attorney Dickson noted that, under the
proposed program before the Council, the Washington Association of Sheriffs and
Police Chiefs would administer the program and would report any kind of violation.
Because ofW ASPC's willingness to be responsible for the program, the City would free
up an employee who has been performing this function previously. Another benefit of
the program would be reflected in the unified system, as the program will involve
prisoners from the City of Sequim, Clallam County, and other area jurisdictions.
Assistant City Attorney Dickson felt the program to be most advantageous to the City,
and he cited a specific example of a case in which he was just involved where. the
offender would be using the electronic home monitoring. This particular individual
would be paying for his costs associated with the program, and would also be able to
continue working in order to support his family.
In response to an inquiry from the Council, Assistant City Attorney Dickson explained
legislative action taken in which different scenarios were established for the use of
electronic home monitoring as an alternative to jail incarceration. Discussion followed,
and Councilman Wiggins sought clarification as to the financial ramifications of the
program. Assistant City Attorney Dickson explained that the City is not paying for
offenders to be in the program unless it chooses to do so under very rare circumstances.
Rather, the participants pay the program costs. Councilman Campbell asked about the
regionalization of the program, and Assistant City Attorney Dickson informed the
Council of a pilot program initiated in the Tri-Cities area. Because the program was so
successful in that area, an effort commenced to institute the regionalized program in this

· area. Following further discussion and questions, Chief Riepe advised the Council that
Mr. Lowman would show the Council some of the equipment used in the program. Mr.
Lowman demonstrated and explained the use of the monitoring device, and indicated
he meets with the users on a regular basis to make certain the device is working
properly. In addition, Mr. LoWman fmds that random visits prove to be worthwhile in
monitoring the activities of the users.
.
The Council then gave consideration to the approval of agreement between the City and
W ASPC, and Council member Erickson moved to approve and authorize the City
Manager, as allowed by Ordinance No. 2957, to sign the Full Service Electronic
Monitoring Agreement with the Washington Associatjon of Sheriffs and Police
Chiefs. The motion was seconded by Councilman Campbell and carried
unanimously.

Presentation on Laurel Street Stair Project
Public Works & Utilities Director Cutler advised the Council thatthe architect for the
Laurel Street stair project was to have been present this evening with certain props for
the presentation. In that he had not arrived as yet, color photos of the proposed project
were distributed to the Council so that the presentation could proceed. Director Cutler
noted that the owners of the motels at the top of the stairs had provided input for the
project. In addition, he indicated that the Council had previously authorized $200,000
for the project. After architect fees, the amount remaining for construction
approximates $160,000+, and it is quite possible that actual costs may exceed the
amount authorized.
City Engineer Kenworthy addressed the Council and indicated the original goal of the
project was to stabilize the hillside and to do slide repairs. The stairway was included
in the project, as it had been involved in the slide. He described the color photos, and
the incorporation of a viewing tower with lighting strategically placed for security
purposes.
Discussion followed, and Mayor Doyle inquired as to whether the project was
compatible with the fountain and mural presently in place. Engineer Kenworthy
responded that the planning process resulted in a reduction of the size, as those involved
were very aware of the need to make the project compatible to the surrounding area.
Counciimember McKeown felt the project should be scaled down, as she viewed it to
be extremely obtrusive. Mayor Doyle mentioned the use of the blue paint on black iron,
which has rusted over the years. He encouraged the use of an alternative.
Roy Gotham, 2029 W. 7rh Street, President of the Port Angeles Downtown Association,
advised the Council that the P ADA has been working in concert with the City on this
project. He felt it to be extremely important to have the hillside stabilized, and he
indicated the P ADA has offered design changes as the project has progressed. The
P ADA feels this is a good project, and they are most supportive.
.
Director Cutler added that the design was intended to incorporate the theme of a ranger
station one would find in a forest area. Also, he noted that seeing the stairs from the
area of the ferry should create a visual corridor. This presentation was made to provide
the Council with an update on the project; no action was taken.
Manager Quinn added two items to the Council agenda: Item 1.5. Change Order for
Downtown Watermain/Sidewalk Project and Item 1.6. Lease of Color Copier/Printer.
3.
Bonneville Power Administration Power Sales Agreement
Mayor Doyle summarized the memorandum from Public Works & Utilities Director
Cutler with regard to the City's negotiation of a power sales agreement with the
Bonneville Power Administration. Director Cutler informed the Council that the
account executive from the BP A was present this evening to answer any questions the
Council may have.
Scott McLain, Deputy Director of Power Systems, informed the Council of two changes
made in the language of the agreement. First, the agreement reflected "Port Angeles
Light Utility, which was changed to the "City ofPort Angeles". Second, on Page IS,
Section (4), Deputy Director McLain provided replacement language relative to CF/CT
Loads. He then summarized the highlights of the negotiated agreement, to include

ensuring the lowest cost priority fIrm or PF power to the City for a ten-year period. The
agreement also replaces several other contracts expiring with PF power as well. The
price for power for the ten-year period is expected to be well below the market price for
power. Deputy Director McLain introduced Mr. Charles Foreman, the Bonneville
Account Executive.
In response to an inquiry from Councilman Hulett, Deputy Director McLain explained
that the City does have a contract with Avista in Spokane, formerly LG&E, into 2003
after which that power will be replaced by Bonneville PF power. Councilman
Campbell noted a couple of items in the agreement that are different than what the City
has in the current agreement, one of which is the limitation on damages on load loss.
He indicated that if the City didn't use the entire amount of contracted power, then the
City would still have to pay for the full amount. Second is the unauthorized increase
charge wherein the City would be required to pay a penalty if it takes more power than
was contracted.
Deputy Director McLain explained the load loss provisions and when they might be a
factor. For instance, if the City were to voluntarily allow Daishowa to leave the system
and purchase power elsewhere, the City could be charged damages if Bonneville could
not sell that power to someone else for the same price. In this particular instance, the
City plans to enter into an agreement with Daishowa which would obligate Daishowa
to pay for any differences should they opt to purchase power from another source. It
is anticipated that such an arrangement would be made on an annual basis.
Discussion followed, with comparisons being made between the current rate and the
rate in the new agreement. Deputy Director McLain indicated some of the increase can
be offset by reserves. Mayor Doyle inquired as to whether rates can vary based on the
size of the utility, and Deputy Director McLain responded that the PF rate is the same
throughout Bonneville. In addition, Mr. Foreman indicated there is a factor that affects
rates in this particular area in that the PUD obtains a low density discount.
Councilman Campbell pointed out that the Cost Recovery Adjustment Clause can be
a disadvantage if Bonneville can't make its debt payments. Mr. Foreman explained the
CRAC in that rates can be adjusted upward; however, such an adjustment could only
come about after a rate case is made to the FERC and proceedings are conducted to seek
public input.
Discussion was also held on the matter of conservation and renewables, and
Councilman Campbell stressed the importance of participation. Deputy Director
McLain indicated the program should amountto $300,000 per year during the term of
the contract. Mr. Foreman indicated the benefIts are derived by the customer in the
form of lower electrical bills. Deputy Director McLain added that an additional benefit
of the program is to conserve energy in order to decrease the need for new facilities and
generation of more power.
Councilman Campbell moved to authorize the Mayor to sign the agreement with
the Bonneville Power Administration to provide the City's power supply for the
ten-year period from October, 2001 to September, 2011. The motion was seconded
by Councilmember McKeown and carried unanimously.
4. Brown & Caldwell Contractfor Wastewater Services
Mayor Doyle summarized the information provided by Public Works & Utilities on the
proposed agreement with Brown & Caldwell for wastewater/stormwater engineering
services. Director Cutler indicated the City has been very pleased with the services and
performance of Brown & Caldwell, and City Engineer Kenworthy added that Brown
& Caldwell knows the City system and treatment plant quite well.
Engineer Kenworthy indicated the contract was broken down into ten tasks, which he
reviewed in detail. The proposed not to exceed amount of the agreement was set at
$368,658. Engineer Kenworthy noted that attention will be given this coming spring
to the matter of stormwater funding. Mayor Doyle advised the Council that the contract
had been reviewed and recommended for approval by the Utility Advisory Committee.
Councilman Wiggins moved to authorize the Mayor to sign an engineering services
agreement with Brown & Caldwell, following City Attorney review and approval,
to provide wastewater/stormwater related engineering support services in the
amount not to exceed $368,658. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Campbell and carried unanimously.

Parametrix Contract for Landfill Services
Mayor Doyle reviewed the memorandum from Public Works & Utilities on the matter
of an engineering services agreement with Parametrix for landfill services. Director
Cutler informed the Council that the City is starting to'move into the next phase of life
for the landfill. The closure of Cells 1 and 2 has just been completed, and it is now time
to look toward the closure of the landfill. City Engineer Kenworthy indicated the
Utility Advisory Committee recommends approval of the contract as presented.
:.
Engineer Kenworthy reviewed the engineering services and associated costs, noting that
the City requested proposals from other engineering firms in order to assure the City
would obtain the necessary expertise in the area of composting. Parametrix has hired
new people with composting expertise, so the City is comfortable with the Parametrix
contract. Councilman Wiggins inquired as to whether the City monitors expenses
related to engineering service contracts to compare contract projections to actual
expenses. Engineer Kenworthy assured the Council that the City does monitor these
expenses. After further consideration, Councilman Hulett moved to authorize the
Mayor to sign an engineering services agreement with Parametrix, following City
Attorney review and approval, to provide landfill/solid waste related engineering
support services in the amount not to exceed $295,284.00. The motion was
seconded by Council member Erickson and carried unanimously.

Acceptance of Street Paving 2000 Project
Mayor Doyle reviewed the information provided by Public Works & Utilities. and
Director Cutler advised the Council that the overlay project went fairly smoothly: Some
alley work was also accomplished, and the project costs came close to projections. In
addition, a tree was removed in order to straighten Fairmount A venue. Councilman
Campbell moved to accept the project and authorize release of retain age bonding
upon receipt of clearances from the Departments of Revenue and Labor &
Industries. The motion was seconded by Councilmember McKeown and carried

Ordinances Not Requiring Public Hearings: None.
Resolutions: None:
Other Considerations:
1. Approval and Implementation of Community Telecommunication Action Plan
Mayor Doyle summarized the information submitted by Public Works & Utilities on the
Community Telecommunications Action Plan, which had been recommended for
approval by the Utility Advisory Committee as well as the Port Angeles Works!
Committee. Emphasis has been placed on integrating efforts such as the E-nabled
Visions Tour, FairPoint Communications BridgeWorkssM Program, and the Unisys
Corporation community internet portal program. Director Cutler stated this is a long
awaited plan to come before the Council, and he introduced Scott McLain, Deputy
Director of Power Resources.
Deputy Director McLain provided a history of the project, which commenced with a
study conducted in 1997. City Council goals for 2000 included emphasis on fiber-optic
infrastructure which led to a joint feasibility study with the Clallam County PUD. The
study identified several areas that could be jointly pursued by both entities. Since that
time, work has progressed on an action plan to move the project forward. At this time,
Deputy Director McLain introduced Larry Dunbar, Power Resources Manager, and Mr.
Richard Li, Metropolitan Communications Consultants.
With the use of Power Point, Manager Dunbar presented the Council with a
comprehensive review of the proposed action plan. The need for a comprehensive
approach to telecommunications regulations has been identified, to include a master
telecommunications ordinance that would reference other ordinances such as right-of-
way construction, licensing and taxation, pole attachments, and wireless facility siting.
Because there is a need to comply with federal and state laws and to improve
management of public right-of-way, the action plan is important in light of anticipated
increased telecommunications construction demands.

Manager Dunbar advised the Council that the cable television franchise expires as of
October, 2003, and a letter has been submitted by Northland Cable requestillg franchise
renewal. Associated with the franchise and the recommendation to develop a fiber-
optic backbone is the need to conduct a telecommunications needs. and interests
assessment. Such an assessment is intended to involve public input, much of which is
coming forward through the involvement ofE-nabled Visions, BridgeWorkssM, and
Unisys.
.
Manager Dunbar continued by delineating the proposed responsibilities of
Metropolitan Communications Consultants (MMe), which would include drafting an
ordinance for telecable. He reviewed the assessment time line and then turned attention
to the fiber-optic backbone, discussing the technical aspect of the bandwidth overview
and current and proposed infrastructure. Manager Dunbar indicated open access would
provide many users the opportunity to access a variety of services, and he equated open
access to economic development. Manager Dunbar discussed Bonneville's plans for
local infrastructure, and he summarized the proposed backbone structure, the proposed
route, and associated time line.
Consideration was given to the projected costs, and Manager Dunbar indicated the
figure of $1,592,500 was what could be quantified at this time. There will be other
costs to be determined at a later date.
Manager Dunbar, joined by Mr. Li, answered questions posed by the Council. Mayor
Doyle inquired as to the City's ability to handle future costs, and Mr. Li responded by
citillg a cost for backbone fiber at $1 - $2 Million. He indicated the Cities of Richland
and Ellensburg obtained fiber by leveraging franchise equipment to activate the system..
Councilman Campbell voiced his enthusiasm for the project, noting it to be a very
logical approach. Further, Councilman Campbell felt there were many elements
identified as necessary to the telecommunications ordinance; however, he felt the City
must be pro-active in providing for telecommunications companies to do business in
Port Angeles. It was his hope that the ordinance would help facilitate activity while,. at
the same time, meet the needs and requirements of the City.
Councilman Campbell indicated the City has entered into this arena in the interest of
economic development and, for that reason, the timeline is a very important and critical
element of the process. Councilman Hulett encouraged the extension of fiber into the
Urban Growth Areas east and west of town, plus he supported an ordinance that would
site users at a single location or on a single tower. Councilman Wiggins felt it appeared
the City was starting a process absent a needs assessment; however, Deputy Director
McLain indicated the study done by Power Engineers included a consumer survey. The
survey did not include bandwidth which is information the City will need. Additionally,
Mr. Li indicated the needs assessment is a part of the business plan. Further, he assured
the Council that the ordinance will be very pro-active and will include suggested policy
statements directed at what Councilman Campbell had addressed. The ordinance will
be an opportunity for the City to display its attitude towards providers and to establish
how the network will be used.
.
Councilman Wiggins inquired as to the source of funding for this project. Deputy
Director McLain indicated much of the current expense will come from light utility
reserves; future funds may come forward through bonding. Discussion ensued on
bandwidth needs, and Manager Quinn addressed future benefits to the City in terms of
informational kiosks, interactive information exchanges and permitting processes, and
the like. Manager Dunbar felt the Council's establishment of fiber-optics as a goal was
extremely visionary, as e-commerce of the future will depend greatly on the fiber
backbone.
After further discussion, Councilmember Erickson moved to approve the
Community Telecommunications Action Plan and authorize the Mayor to sign the
professional services agreement in an amount not to exceed $92,500 with MCC for
completion of: a comprehensive telecommunications ordinance; a
telecommunications future needs and interests assessment; a business plan for the
fiber-optic backbone; and to authorize staff to prepare a request for qualifications
for engineering services to design the fiber-optic backbone and to start the process
to purchase the fiber-optic cabling for which staff will request City Council
authority prior to purchasing. The motion was seconded by Councilmember
McKeown and carried unanimously.

The motion was seconded by Councilmember Erickson and carried unanimously.
3.
Approval of Les Schwab Pre-Annexation Agreement
Mayor Doyle reviewed the memorandum provided by the City Attorney.
Councilmember Erickson moved to authorize the Mayor to sign the pre-
annexation agreement with Les Schwab, Inc., and AFP-B Limited Partnership.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Campbell.
Councilman Hulett inquired as to why PUD water was the only utility referenced.
Attorney Knutson responded by indicating that, in the case ofWalMart, the issue arose
as to whether there was sufficient water to serve the building. At that time, it was
agreed that if the City was willing to allow the building outside the City with less water
than what the Fire Department was comfortable with, then the City wanted a quid pro
quo wherein a pre-annexation agreement would be entered into with WalMart willing
to come into the City at the time of annexation. The issue of water drove the pre-
annexation agreement at that time. Planning Director Collins added there is a Growth
Management concurrency requirement, and he explained that water is insufficient to
meet the City's fire flow requirements. There is a clause in the contract with the PUD
that, in order for a major user to get additional water, the City must be in agreement,
which is provided by this pre-annexation agreement. A vote was taken on the motion,
which carried unanimously.
4. Appointment of Budget Committee and Set Meeting Schedule
After due consideration, it was agreed by consensus that Mayor Doyle and
Councilmembers Campbell and McKeown would serve on the Budget Conunittee to
meet with staff for a detailed review of the Budget. Manager Quinn indicated that a
public hearing on revenue sources would be conducted on November 7,2000, and a
public hearing on the Budget would be conducted November 21,2000. The calendar
for Budget Committee meetings was reviewed, and it was agreed to change the meeting
of October 31,2000 from 5:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
5. Change Order for Downtown Watermain/Sidewalk Project
Public Works & Utilities Director Cutler reviewed for the Council the status of Phase
II of the Downtown Watermain/Sidewalk project. The project is going better than
anticipated, and work will be stopped for the holidays and resumed after the first of the
year, weather permitting.
City Engineer Kenworthy sununarized the proposed change order, which would involve
the completion of the section of watermain and sidewalk on the east side of Laurel
Street between Front and First Streets. Engineer Kenworthy explained how this portion
of the project was deleted from the original plans based on known costs at the time.
However, in order to fully utilize available funds, it is now being reconunended that this
portion of the project be scheduled for completion. Councilman Wiggins moved to
authorize approval of a construction change order in the amount of $144,697.78
to Phase II of the Downtown Watermain and Sidewalk Replacement Project. The
motion was seconded by Councilmember Erickson and carried unanimously.

FROM:
Glenn A. Cutler, Director of Public Works and Utilities ~
SUBJECT:
Grant Approval for Tumwater Street and Ennis Street Slide Repairs
Summary: Heavy winter rains in January 1999, precipitated landslides in the City which closed Tumwater
Street and Ennis Street. Council authorized permanent repairs for Tumwater Street and temporary, one way only,
repairs were made on Ennis Street. Emergency State and Federal assistance funding was requested at that time,
but not provided. In October, 2000, the Public Works and Utilities Department received funding approval for
Tumwater Street and Ennis Street slides repairs. To receive the funding it is necessary to complete and forward
Federal Aid applications for these projects.
Recommendation: Approve the attached Resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute federal aid
agreements and other documents required to obtain emergency funding assistance for slide repairs on
Tumwater Street and Ennis Street.
Backeround / Analysis: Heavy winter rains in January 1999, precipitated landslides in the City which closed
Tumwater Street and Ennis Street. An emergency was declared by the City, County and the State of Washington
and a Federal declaration which would provide FEMA funding was pending. To avoid delays design was started
on the Tumwater Street Slide and temporary repairs were made to allow single one-way use of Ennis Street for
access to the Rayonier Mill site. In August 1999, the City Council authorized award of a contract to General
Construction Company to make permanent repairs to Tumwater Street and the work was completed in December
1999.
On October 19,2000, the Public Works and Utilities Department received approval for Federal funding of both
slides repairs. To obtain the funding, it is necessary to complete the Federal Aid applications for these projects.
The Federal government will pay 86 Y2% with the City's share being 13 Y2%
The estimated total project cost for the Tumwater Street slide is $117,000. The city initially expended $2,200
on cleanup and traffic control for the temporary closure of the street immediately after the storm, and another
$101,300 was expended for the retaining wall construction. The remaining estimate cost of$13,500 will be used
to prepare and process a biological assessment required by the Federal program even after the fact. The Federal
reimbursement for Tumwater Street slide will be $101,500 which leaves $15,500 as the City's net cost.
The estimated total project cost for the Ennis Street slide is $65,000. The city initially expended $3,200 for
cleanup and traffic control of the temporary lane reduction on the street immediately after the storm. It is
estimated that $61,800, including permitting and the biological assessment, will be needed for the permanent
repair of the slide. The Federal reimbursement for Ennis Street slide will be $56,700 which leaves $8,300 as the
City's net cost.

FROM:
Glenn A. Cutler, Director of Public Works and Utilities
SUBJECT:
Carnegie Library Project Design and Value Engineering
Summary: Funding is being identified to permit renovation/restoration of the Carnegie Library.
It is necessary to develop plans and specifications for the construction contract. Public Works is
requesting authorization to enter into fee negotiations with Olympic Design Works for this .
phase. It is also requesting that authority be granted to initiate a request for qualifications and
enter into negotiations for an independent value engineering review of the existing
structural/seismic plan previously proposed. The structural/seismic retrofit is a major portion of
the project and it is prudent to seek a second opinion in hopes of reducing costs.
.
Recommendation: Authorize the Public Works and Utilities Director to enter into
negotiations with Olympic Design Works for architectural services to prepare plans and
specifications for the restoration/renovation of the Carnegie Library Building.
Additionally, authorize the Public Works and Utilities Director to request qualifications
from and enter into fee negotiations with the selected engineering firm to prepare a value
engineering study of the proposed structural/seismic retrofit for the Carnegie Library
Buildinl!.
.
Back~round / Analysis: The City Council has expressed interest in moving forward with the
renovation/restoration of the Carnegie Library. Currently funds, $200,000 have been set aside
in the general fund, and approximately $200,000 are remaining from the library bond iSsue. The
City Manager has indicated that there is a potential for approximately an additional $250,000 in
saving in this years budget that may also be available. The approximate total of $650,000 brings
us with reach of our current estimates. The Olympic Design Works study completed last year
indicated that renovation and restoration of the Carnegie Library was projected to be $912,000
and $1,150,000, respectively. Initiating the design process now will accelerate the process of
completing the project. No decision is required now on wether renovation or restoration is
required to commence the design process. The issue will be brought back to City Council at
about the 35% design phase for a decision on renovation and restoration. At the end of the 35%
design phase staffwill have better information to develop construction cost estimates. Current
funding will permit construction for accessibility, structural and energy components of the
project. .

.
Additionally, it is requested that authorization be granted to issue a request for qualifications
from selected structural engineering firms, with expertise in historic building seismic retrofit
design. The scope of work will require that a value engi~eering study of the seismic retrofit
proposed in the recent Olympic Design Works study be performed. The structural work is a
major portion of the next phase estimated at $225,000. A independent review may assist in
developing an alternative method for the seismic retrofit and reduce costs.
The design costs would be funded out of the funds from the library bond issue. The Olympic
Design Works estimated that the design costs would range between $70,000 and $87,000.

Brad Collins, Planning Director ~
Clallam County Salmon Recovery Presentation
Summary: On January 8, 2001, the National Marine Fisheries Service 4( d) Rule for Puget .
Sound chinook salmon becomes effective, and the City may be held liable for any "take" of these
salmon or degradation of their habitat under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Clallam County
is proposing a salmon recovery program to NMFS to protect local jurisdictions by "limiting"
under ESA 4( d) Rule actions consistent with local plans and regulations that are either adopted or
being planned at this time. The City should decide whether to participate in the County's
proposal, and County Fish Biologist Joel Freudenthal will make a presentation on the County's
salmon recovery approach.
.
Recommendation: Refer the matter to an ad hoc City Council committee for review
and recommendation on action by the City regarding ESA 4( d) Rule limitations. In order
to respond to the County in a timely manner, the ad hoc salmon recovery committee could
meet in the afternoon ofWednesdav, November 8, 2000.
Back&:round / Analysis: The Council received an October 17 memo on the ESA 4( d) Rule.
It is expected that the City will become subject to ESA liability on January 8, 2001. There are a
number of actions and alternatives that can be taken to limit this liability. Most of these actions
have significant policy and cost implications requiring direction from the City CounciL Of
particular concern at this time are water supply mitigation, storm water management, and revised
shoreline management regulations. Study of these issues has been ongoing, and policy decisions
will be necessary prior to January 8, 2001.
Staff will be available to answer questions.

Mayor Doyle AND City Council
Tom Riept~ief of Police
Public Hearini: Required To Receive Federal Grant
Summary: A public hearing must be held prior to the police department receiving a federal Local
Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG), in the amount of$10,654, from the U.S. Department of
Justice. The police department intends to apply the funds toward the purchase of a new patrol .
vehicle in 2001. The Department of Justice requires that a public hearing be held, prior to the
award of the grant, to allow members of the public an opportunity to provide written and/or oral
comments about the proposed use of the grant funds.
Recommendation: The police department recommends that the City Council hold a public hearing
and take oral or written comments about the proposed use of the grant funds. The City Council is
not required to take any official action.
Backi:round / Analysis: LLEBG funds may be used for seven broad-based purpose areas. One of
the areas is for "Procuring equipment, technology, and other material directly related to basic law
enforcement functions." The police department has received budget approval to replace three nine-
years-old police patrol vehicles, and believes that applying the LLEBG funds ($10,654) toward the
purchase of these vehicles would be an efficient and effective use of resources.

YVONNE ZIOMKOWSKI, FINANCE DIRECTOR
BUDGET HEARING ON REVENUE FOR YEAR-20ot
Summary: The City of Port Angeles is required by RCW 84.55.120 to hold a public hearing on
revenue sources for the coming year's budget in order to receive citizen input. There will be a brief
presentation by the City Manager, and Budget copies are available for citizen review.
.
Recommendation: Conduct the Public Hearing and consider public comments prior to the final
adoption ofthe budget currently scheduled for December 5,2000.
Background / Analysis: In accordance with state statutes, the Preliminary Budget was filed
with the City Clerk on October 30, 2000. In the interim, the Finance/Budget Committee of the City
Council met in three separate work sessions to review the revenue and expense impact ofthe Budget.
At this hearing, the public is invited to respond and comment on their concerns for consideration in
setting up any taxes, charges, and fees as well as any specifics contained in the budget document.
The Public Hearing needs to include consideration of possible increases in property tax revenue.
There are two separate ordinances for council consideration after the Public Hearing. One is
authorizing a two percent increase for regular property taxes, and the other is to determine the
amount to be raised by ad valorem taxes (both regular and special levies).
Additionally, the City Council might consider re-adopting fees and charges levied and approved on
November 17, 1999, in case Initiative 722 passes. No action is required at this meeting.
We also included information about possible new revenue sources for future consideration, such as
a storm water utility, taxing long-term parking in downtown, and taxing ferry tickets to Victoria, Be.
These new charges could be designated for specific projects, for example improving downtown
parking, a convention center, storm water projects, etc.
.
There will be a brief summary presentation by the City Manager on the revenue proposals and the
highlights contained therein.
21
Potential New Revenue Sources
.
Since the City ofPoh Angeles's economy base is slowly but surely changing from timber and
manufacturing to tourist and hi~h tech industries, it must look to other areas to support its tax
base and maintain its, revenue stream to support vital and essential services.
None of these revenues have been included in the budget. The purpose is to provide the Council
information about available revenue sources for future considerations.
Fee (Tax) on long term vehicle parking:
Impose a $1 per car per day fee for vehicles that utilize the all day parking lots in the vicinity of
the Landing and Ferry slips. The majority ofthe vehicles belong to individuals who do not live
or work in Port Angeles, but services must be provided for them. It is not suggested that a fee be
imposed on those lots controlled by the Downtown Association that accommodate individuals
who work or shop in the downtown area. This tax could bring as much at $50,000 in new
revenue and could be designated toward downtown projects.
Tax on passengers who utilize the MV Coho and MV Victoria Clipper:
Impose a tax of $1 per passenger ticket (each way) purchased for travel to and from Victoria,
B.C. It is estimated that 500,000 people travel between Port Angeles and Victoria B.C. on an
annual basis. Police, fire protection, street maintenance, park and recreation services are all
provided to individuals who use the transportation services. It is acknowledged that the
individuals do contribute to the overall economy, but not directly to City services. Currently, the
citizens and businesses of Port Angeles support these services directly. Other entities do try to
shift a portion ifnot all ofthe service cost burdens to those who use the service directly.
Examples are airport taxes for parking, rental car taxes, etc.
.
Stormwater Utility Tax
The City of Port Angeles is being faced with additional financial challenges in protecting the
environment with the imposition of unfunded mandates by regulators and legislators. The State
will be imposing new stormwater management control measures, the Endangered Species Act
has listed bull trout and Puget Sound chinook salmon to the endangered/threatened list
prohibiting "take," the Federal government will be imposing National Pollution Discharge Permit
requirements for stormwater discharges. All of these actions impact how we will be doing our
daily operations. Some procedures that effect how we conduct our operations are required to be
in place as soon as January 8, 2001. Projects for stormwater and drainage improvements have
historically been funded on a limited basis by the wastewater utility. There are numerous
projects including education ofthe public that need an infusion of funds to ensure that the City
has adequate programs and staff in place to meet ongoing and upcoming mandates.
A formai presentation will be given to the Utility Advisory Committee and City Council within .
the next few months providing greater detail on the justification of imposing a stormwater utility
tax to help fund these mandates.

..my of Port Angeles
Referencing the city council item concerning potential future revenue sources
Many in the business community are concerned about a tendency toward helter skelter tax policies.
We urge the city council to quickly address and dismiss the concept of another tourist tax such as presented
in this week's council program. While it is just an idea, it should be dealt with firmly.
. The tax proposed undermines the current tourism marketing program:
I. Many visitors callfor ferry information before coming to the peninsula. The
additional$I.OO per person ferry tax would make it more attractive to access the
island via Tsawwassen and would result in fewer passengers into Port Angeles.
2. Staff members of the Port Angeles Visitors Center, the Tourist Bureau and National
Park Visitor Center convert many passers-through into overnighters; fewer passers-
through mean fewer overnighters for our motels, restaurants, gas stations, etc.
. It would be an anti-business measure:
1. Black Ball Transport, Inc. works miracles to keep their rates competitive with
government funded ferry systems, The head tax concept undermines this ability.
2. The head tax would absolutely impact local businesses, many of them reliant upon
tourists, including those who are taking the ferries.
3. Any reduction inferry traffic has to impact employment rates. Ferry employees
enjoy comparatively high paying jobs. Loss of these jobs also impacts local
businesses.
· It ignores what is undeniably "Buckle up time."
1. Lower school enrollment, movement of retailers out of the city, a decade of declining
living wage private sector jobs, and a stagnant population shouldn't translate into
higher taxes for the survivors and our fewer customers. It should instead translate
into tightened belts for city departments and a moratorium on expansion.
2. Streamlining city departments could easily save the amount of money this tax is
supposed to provide by eliminating just 15 jobs -- makes more sense than
eliminating 15 private sector jobs, which is what this tax would probably do.
3. Or . . . begin charging city employees for parking in the city parking lot. This is a
revenue option that should be looked at regardless.
Thank you,

CITY COUNCIL MEMO
DATE:
NOVEMBER 7, 2000
To:
MAYOR DOYLE AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM:
YVONNE ZIOMKOWSKI, FINANCE DIRECTOR
SUBJECT:
PROPERTY TAX LEVY ORDINANCE
Summary: The City is required to certify property taxes by Ordinance. In addition, Referendum
47 requires that cities increasing property tax levies do so by means of a separate Ordinance.
.
Recommendation: The Finance Department recommends that the City Council approve the
proposed general and special (voted) property tax levies and approve a two percent or $62,882
increase in the general tax levy.
Background I Analysis: Referendum 47 made some significant changes to the process a taxing
district must use to increase revenue from property tax collections. In cities with a population of
10,000 or more, the maximum amount that the regular property tax levy can be increased in any year
by a simple majority vote of the legislative body is the lesser of six percent of the rate of inflation.
"Inflation" is defined as the increase in the implicit price deflator (IPD) for personal consumption
expenditures for the previous twelve months as published in September of each year by the Bureau
of Economic Analysis. In calendar year 1998, the increase in this deflator was only 0.85 percent.
In 1999, for the year 2000 levy, this index was 1.4 percent. For the year 2001 levy, this index is 2.6
percent. However, in anticipation of Initiative 722 and a not to exceed rate of$3.10 per $1,000 of
assessed value, the staff recommends increasing the regular property tax levy by 2 percent or
$66,882. Section 209 (RCW 84.55,120) of Referendum 47 requires that the regular property tax levy
many not be increased by any amount (except for revenue from new construction, annexation, and
state utility) without an ordinance (or resolution) that specifically states the increase in both dollars
and percentage.

General Fund Revenue Analysis
The City's General Fund receives a wide variety
of revenue. This section of the budget will
discuss the key factors affecting that revenue for
the next year.
Tax Revenues
Tax revenues are projected at $7,763,733 in
2001. This amounts to a 4.8% or $356,130
increase from the 2000 budgeted tax revenues.
A 2% increase in property taxes will yield an
additional $53,333 in revenue for the General
Fund.
A 0.4% decrease in sales tax revenue is
projected at $10,000, due to the relocation of an
auto dealership outside the City limits. Also, an
increase in internet purchases will result in a
conservative approach to sales tax. Over the
past five years, sales tax receipts have not
changed with the exception of 1998 when sales
tax revenue was the highest in five years. This
was largely due to commercial construction.
A 12.3% or $220,728 increase in utility taxes is
budgeted as a result of an 8% increase in water
and wastewater rates and the closing of
Daishowa's hydro-electric plant on the Elwha
Dam.
Occupational taxes are projected to increase by
City of Port Anqeles
2001 Preliminary Operating Budget
22% or $101,500 due to the increase in usage of
cellular phones. This tax was conservatively
budgeted for the year 2000.
The bulk of the tax revenue is in three categories:
property taxes, sales taxes, and utility taxes.
Property Tax - Regular Levy
Property taxes are the largest source of revenue
in the City's General Fund, amounting to 21 % of
the total budget and 36% of all taxes. The City's
property tax is levied based on the full cash value
of property from the previous January 1 st as
determined by the Clallam County Assessor's
office. The Clallam County Treasurer is respon-
sible for billing and collecting all property taxes.
All real and personal property are subject to
taxation except that which is specifically
exempted such as property owned by federal,
state, and local governments.
Assessed values are established by the County
Auditor at 100% of the fair market value and
adjusted each year based on market value
changes. A physical verification of each property
is made at least once every six years and the
estimated assessed value is then changed to
reflect the physical verification.

City of Port Angeles
2001 Preliminary Operating Budget
There are two considerations in estimating
property taxes after adjustments for new
construction:
The 106% limitation (RCW 84.55.10) allows
the. City to inqrease its previous levy by 6%
unfil it reache's the 'statLitory tax rate limit of
$3.10 per $1,000, of' asse~sed value. If
assessed valuations increase more than 6%
(as in this ye~r) levies .decrease tothe point
where property taxes cannot exceed 106%
of the prior year's level.
TheWashington State Constitution limits.the.
. total regular property taxes to one percent of
assessed valuation; or $10 per $1,000 of
assessed value, of which .the City may levy
up.to $3.60 per $1 ,000.of assessed value.
Library Districts are entitled to $0.50 per
$1 ;000 of ass.essedvaluation and the Library
levy is deducted from the $3.60 maximum
available to the City. If the Library. does not
utilize its full, $0 .50 .of the levy, ttie City may.
assess the unused portion.
. ..
For cities with a population of 10,000 or
more, Referendum. 47, approved by the
voters'on November 4,1997: changed"this
provision. T~e maximum amount that the
regular property tax levy could be increased
in'any one year by.a' simple majority vote of
the legislative body would be the lesser of six
percent or t~e' rate of the implicit. price
deflator (IPD).
There .is provision that with a finding of
"sybstantialneed", a majority plus one of the
City Council can raise revenues by as much
as 6%, as long as they do not exceed, the
maximum tax rate.
New Initiative 722,'which goes to the voters
for approval on November 4,2000, could limit
increases 'in . property taxes to the lesser of
two percent or the implicit price deflator (IPD).
Anticipating passage of this Initiative, the City
prop?ses.to in~rease property taxesb'y2%.
Regular prop~rty taxes; are used to fund the
General Fund and Street Funds.
.
The regular property tax levy and distribution is
shown on the next page.
The. Cityreached.the $3.10 levy limit in 1992 but
decreased tax rates in 1996 and 1997 due to
increases in assessed property values:The 2001
regular property tax rate amounts to $3.10 per
$1,000, and reflects a 0.5% increase from the
2000 levy of $3.09 per thousand.
The 2000 real and personal property assessed
valuation is' estimated at $1,038A91,632 and
includes $10 million in new construction. The
regular property fax le~y will generate $3,222,439
in property taxes, a '{ariance of 2.5% above .2000
levels. This rise is due to increasing the property'
tax levy by 2%,Which is still below the current IPD
level of 2.6%.' Any additional increase will be the
result of new construction projected at $10 million
to $15 rnillion." .
..,
During the past two years, the City increased the
propertY,tax Ii:wy by,only the ImpliCit Pricepeflator
(IPD) I.ndex, which was 0.85% in 1999 and 1.4%
for the year 2900,

City of Port Angeles
2001 Preliminary Operating Budget
Sales Tax
Sales tax is the second largest source of rev-
enue in the General Fund accounting for approxi-
mately 17% of total revenues and 29% of all
taxes. The sales tax, a highly unstable and very
sensitive tax source, is difficult to predict. The
current sales tax rate of 7.9% is allocated as
follows: the City receives 1 % of the tax (of which
the County receives a 15% share); the State re-
ceives 6.5%, the Clallam County Transit Author-
ity receives 0.3%; and the Criminal Justice Fund
receives 0.1 %. The taxable base includes all re-
tail sales of personal property to state residents,
professional services included, except food prod-
ucts consumed off the premises and prescrip-
tion drugs. Sales taxes are remitted by the re-
tailers to the Department of Revenue by the 25th
of each month (for most taxpayers).
1
The department distributes that money to local
governments on the last day of the following
month.
.
The reduction in sales tax growth rate is largely
attributed to sales tax exemptions, the Rayonier
Mill closure, and a stagnant local economy. Ad-
ditionally, several businesses have relocated out
side the City limits, thereby decreasing sales tax
revenue by $76,000 annually. The table and graph
which follow depict sales tax receipts over the last
ten years. As noted, these receipts can be quite
irregular.
For these reasons, sales tax is conservatively
estimated and a small decrease of $10,000 is pro-
jected in 2001.

Utility taxes apply to all utilities providing services
in the City, including City-owned.and privC3te utili-
ties. Utility taxes represent approximately 15%
of all General.Fund revenue:
. consumption adversely impacted electric utility tax
re\fenue by over $340,000. To help offset.such a
, dramatic decline in revenue, non-electric utility tax
. rates were increased in 1997. In the 200.1. budget
the 12.3% or. $220,728 .increase in u'tility taxes is
. a direct re!)ult of an 8% water and wastewater rate
. increase ($35,720) and the closing of Daishowa's

leasehold and Gambling Taxes
Leasehold and gambling taxes comprise a small
share of total tax receipts, accounting for 1.4% .
of all General Fund revenues. As of July 27, 1997,.
the legislature adopted two changes in gambling
taxes. First; the maximum limit on the cost of a
single chance for punch cards and pulltabs was
raised from 50 cents to one dollar. Second, the
base on which the tax .is applied for charitable
organizations arid nonprofit groups was chan'ged
from gross receipts:to gross receipts less prizes
paid out. Additionaliy,' the maximum permissible .
tax rate for charitable orga.~izations and nonprofit
groups was raised from five to ten percent. The
City has adopted a 10% rate based on net rev-
enue.'
For commercial operators, the city revised the tax
rate from 3.5% of gross on punch boards and
pulltabsto gross receipts less prizes multiplied
by ten percent. Gross receipts from card games
may be levied at a '20% tax. Effective January 1,
2000, the maximum rate that a local jurisdiction
may impose on the gross receipts of bingo is 5%,
a reduction froni7% in previous years. There
are iirTlited exemptions froni the gambling tax for
churches, schools,. charitable, or nonprofit orga-
nizations.
The 2001 gambling tax revenue estimate amounts
to $82,000.

City of Port Angeles
2001 Preliminary Operating Budget
State-5hared (Intergovernmental) Revenues
This category is dominated by various state-
shared tax revenues..By'sfatute; the state is re-
quired to ~~are li.guor tax and 'liquor profits with
local governmf::lnts. All of these revenues are pro-
vided on the.b9sis of a,state prescribed formula
based'on'population. As such; these revenues
tend to be'rathe~ predictable.
With the passage of Initiative 695 in November
1999, the' City lost approximately $250,000 an-
nually, in revenues' due to the'repeal of the motor

Motor Vehicle Excise Tax (MVET)
.
On November 2, 1999, voters across Washington
approved Initiative 695 by a vote of 58% to 42%.
Of the 39 counties in the State, only five voted
against the Initiative.
There are three provisions which took effect on
January 1, 2000. They are:
. The Motor Vehicle Excise Tax (MVET) is
replaced with a flat $30 annual license fee;
. Any tax and/or fee increased by the State,
Cities, Counties, or special districts shall
require voter approval; and
. A number of existing provisions of State law
that relate to taxes and tax collection are
repealed.
Since this is a per capita distribution, the City lost
approximately $10.73 per person or $201,758 in
the year 2000, and $14.84 per person or
$286,163 in 2001.
.
Inititative 695 was challenged in Court by several
cities and utilities. On March 14, 2000, a King
County Superior Court Judge ruled that the voter
approval requirement of Section 2 of Initiative 695
was unconstitutional and could not be enforced.
The ruling has been appealed to the Washington
State Supreme Court and at this time, it is
unknown when a final ruling will be made.
Liquor Board
Because the City is responsible for the policing of
liquor establishments located within its limit but
are precluded from taxing them because of the
state liquor monopoly, the law provides that a
share of the state-collected profits and taxes be
returned to the City. Liquor Board profits consist
of the difference between revenue from state
liquor stores, taxes on wine and beer, license
fees, permit fees, penalties and forfeitures, and
board expenditures. Forty percent of these profits
are disbursed to municipalities quarterly on a per
capita basis.
.
For the past several years, liquor excise tax
revenues have generally been flat. The State is
forecasting a small increase in profits of liquor
board and liquor excise tax. However, since
population in the incorporated areas is growing,
the distribution per capita has not increased.
City of Port Anqeles
2001 Preliminary Operating Budget
The anticipated amount for Liquor Board Profit for
2001 is $18.6 million, $5.52 per capita, and
amounts to $104,604 for the City of Port Angeles,
which is 12.6% less than the 2000 forecast.
Liquor Excise Tax
Twenty-eight percent (28%) of the two sales
taxes imposed on sales of spirituous liquors and
32% of the gallon age tax imposed on sales of
wine (75 cents per gallon) is allocated to cities
and towns. The allocation is computed on a per
capita basis and distributed quarterly. Receipts
from the liquor excise are holding steady. The
2001 liquor excise tax revenue of $61,777 or
$3.26 per capita is based on 2% growth forecast
by the State.
Criminal Justice Entitlements
Initiative 695 changed the MVET distribution
made to cities for criminal justice purposes. The
portion of criminal justice revenues that come
from the motor vehicle excise tax was repealed.
However, Referendum 47 provided for a
contribution from the State general fund every
year so the repeal of the motor vehicle excise tax
did not completely eliminate criminal justice
funding. The 2001 funding will be increased by
the implicit price deflator in July.
The City will receive cash transfers from the State
General Fund which amount to 45 percent of the
criminal justice assistance. This revenue is
estimated at 18 cents per capita, which will bring
$3,411 to the City.
The remaining funds are handed out based on
crime rates and will go to the cities which have
had an average violent crime rate in the last three
years of 150% of the statewide average. Port
Angeles is not eligible for these funds.
Fourteen percent (14%) of the funds will be
distributed to cities that have initiated special
programs:
. Innovative law enforcement strategies, such
as alternative sentencing and crime prevention
programs. The limit is one dollar per capita.
· "At-risk-child" or child abuse response pro-
grams. The limit for this program is $0.50 per
capita.

Licenses and Permits
the City. The bulk of the revenue. is derived from
Public Works building permit activities. Because
this activity is dependent on n'ew construction; it .
can be' an unstable source of income. Even
thought the .2.0.0.0 budget included fee increases
approved by the Council in November 1999, the
overall receipts de"cfeased by almost 4.0%, reflect-
ing low construciton acitivy in the city limits. Since
Port Angeles 'does 'not have available commer-
cial areas, the building permits are estimated at
e
The City of Port Angeles applies for funding in all
these programs. These entitlements are esti-
mated ~t $2.0,.0.0.0 in 2.0.01.
Overall, the .City's criminal justice assistance is

Other Revenues (General Fund)
Miscellaneous: This revenue category primarily
consists of small fees associated with business-
like activities (e.g., rentals, contributions) and
comprises a very small share of total revenues.
Interfund Allocations
Many of the City administrative services are pro-
vided centrally to all departments and funds.
These costs are allocated to all the proprietary
funds and include services provided by Finance,
City Manager, City Attorney, Human Resources,
Facility Maintenance, and Public Works.

In October 1996, the Light and Public Works De-

Utilities Department. The engineering administra-
tive, permits and conservation functions have
been consolidated into the Utility Services and
Permits Division in the General Fund. This cost
center is allocated to the proprietary funds.
The allocation of general government costs to
other departments and utilities is a common mu-

Electric. User Fee Revenue
.
This chart provides the amount of user fee rev-
enue that was generated by electric utility fees.
Port Angeles is unique in that it is one of the rela-
tively few communities to operate an electric util-
ity enterprise. The Cit{Council approved a ten-
year cOl)tract with !3onneville Power Administra-
tion (BPA) for the purchase of electric power. By
buying power at a.wholesale rate, the City is able
to pass savings on to the citizens.
As a'result of the Rayonier Mill closure, the elec-
tric revenue from user. fees decreased by 36%
and had a declining. trend from' 1996 to 1999. In
the year 2000, federal regulations pushed for the
closure ofthe.Elwha Dam: As a result, Daishciwa
1 .
,America mill had to close the qperation of a low
cost hydro-electric power generator and purchase
powerfrom the City. Daishowa America .accounts
for over 40% .of all energy consumption.

over 7,300 City customers. . Residential collec-
tion service includes weekly collection of solid

$19.80 per month for collection and $76.80 per
tOn for I~mdfiil tipping,'taxes included. There
have been no rate increases.for the past eight
. .. .
years.
The FAA mandate has increased rates. How-
ever, the burdensome and cost prohibitive
landfill constru'ction, operation, and monitoring
requirem~nts promulgated by the Washington
State Department of Ecology and the Federal

primary reasons for the City's rate structure.

To all of whom this may concern:
Last Wednesday evening, September 6, our church experienced a break in a water line on
the lower level that completely flooded several classrooms and the hallway.
The Fire Department crew who responded went above and beyond the call of duty in
order to insure all the standing water was removed quickly (it was gone even before the
carpet cleaning people arrived). Their quick action and hard work kept the damage to a
mmlmum.
Thanks for serving us so well!
Sincerely,
~

ROLL CALL
Members Present:
Bob Philpott, Fred Hewins, Bob King, Chuck Schramm,
Mary Craver,
Members Absent:
Fred Norton, Linda Nutter
Staff Present:
Brad Collins, Sue Roberds, Debra Barnes, Larry Dunbar
Public Present:
Charles Beaudette, Terry Kennedy
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Commissioner Philpott moved to approve the September 27, 2000, meeting minutes as
presented. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Craver and passed 4 - 1 with
Commissioner King abstaining due to his absence at the meeting.
PUBLIC HEARING:
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - CUP 00-08 - BREEN, 402 East Eighth Street:
A request for a conditional use permit to allow a wireless communication use that
requires the installation of a 58' tower in the Commercial Neighborhood District.
(Continued from October 11,2000.)
Associate Planner Debra Barnes reviewed the Planning Department's staff report
recommending denial of the proposed activity. Chair Hewins opened the public hearing.
Charles Beaudette, 402 East Eighth Street, was present to answer questions on behalf of
the applicant. He indicated that the applicant is prepared to provide landscaping that the
Planning Commission feels is necessary to camouflage the proposed antenna. He proposed
that fast growing cypress trees be planted which would provide a 28' base screen in
approximately five years. The applicant is anxious to make the use work and is open to
suggestions.
Terry Kennedy, 181 Lotus Lane, demonstrated a residential receiver antenna that would be
used in the wireless internet service.
Mr. Beaudette stated that the traditional copper wire that provides telecommunication
service is in poor condition. It will take years to realize fiber optic availability in Port
Angeles. The service may be available to large consumers like Olympic Medical Center but
residential consumers may never be financially able to obtain a fiber link. The proposed
77
Planning Commission Minutes
October 11. 2000
Page 2
service is a wireless internet service that could be available to everyone within a few days
of approval. He believes the recently approved Burst Wireless activity at17l6 South Chase
Street is a temporary use. The operators may not succeed in obtaining the permanent license
necessary to continue operation beyond the first of next year. They cUrrently operate under
a temporary testing license.
.
Mr. Kennedy described the applicant's contract with Burst Wireless and stated that he was
told by Burst representatives that they have no intention to develop a permanent site in Port
Angeles. The support equipment necessary to conduct the wireless internet service is
available at the applicant's site. It would be cost prohibitive to relocate that equipment to
another location where a tower is approved. The proposal is not a duplication of services.
It is not cost effective to provide fiber service to residential customers in the City. A high
speed wireless internet service must come from another source, which is the proposal. The
service can be provided in only a few days following approval ofthe tower. He urged the
Planning Commission to help the applicant ,try to resolve the dilemma of poor internet
service in the area by approval of the transmission antenna.
Mr. Kennedy responded to Commissioner Craver that the difference between an unlicensed
carrier and a licensed carrier is that an unlicensed band is not controlled for interference. An
unlicensed band can be used by anyone where only the person licensed to use a specific
licensed band can use that particular band.
Mr. Kennedy responded to Commissioner King that the applicant did not consider any other .
location due to the availability ofthe support equipment on the site owned by the applicant.
A great deal.of discussion took place regarding the possibility of co-location at the approved
Burst site.:cThe applicant does not believe that the Burst operation is intended to be
permanent. If an agreement with Burst is reached for co-location at the approved site (716
South Chase) and Burst does not obtain the needed FCC license to remain permanent rather
than temporary, the applicant would have to relocate not only the transmission antenna but
would also have to redirect all customer antennas to a new location.
Planner Barnes stated that it may be helpful to continue the public hearing to October 25,
2000, when Burst Wireless representatives would be present to respond to a second antenna
conditional use permit application at a new site. Mr. Beaudette agreed, and stated that the
applicant would not have allowed Burst to have access to their customer database if they had
known they would be competitors.
Planning Director Collins introduced Larry Dunbar, a telecommunication specialist
employed by the City's Light Division. Mr. Dunbar stated that out of perhaps 2,000 utility
poles in town 50 may be owned by Qwest. The remaining poles are owned by the City. The
cost of leasing space on utility poles is not prohibitive.
Mr. Kennedy commented that it is prohibitive to string line on poles because a private switch .
has to be provided and paid for to use the line.

Mr. Beaudette agreed it would be cost prohibitive to relocate the necessary switch
equipment. The applicant would certainly allow Burst to locate on the proposed antenna for
their testing activity.
Commissioner Craver moved to continue the pubiic hearing to October 25,.2000,7 p.m.
City Council Chambers. The motion was seconded by Commissioner King and passed
5 - O.
COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE PUBLIC
None.
ST AFF REPORTS
Planner Barnes reviewed a moratoria memorandum regarding telecommunication uses.
Director Collins indicated that the City has been reticent to consider moratoria unless there
is a recognizable immediate need.
Larry Dunbar agreed and stated that the 1996 Telecommunications Act resulted in many
moratoria but that action is at this time a bit tardy. He suggested that the establishment of
interim procedures granting temporary approval until a permanent ordinance is established
may be more pertinent at this date.
Planning Specialist Sue Roberds provided a comparison table of some thirteen municipal
telecommunication ordinances within Washington State for cities in similar geographical
settings as Port Angeles. The table provided an overview as to permitted zones in which
telecommunication facilities are permitted, height restrictions, basic landscaping
requirements, and application procedures. She stated that the information is being provided
in response to the Commission's direction following the September 11 th meeting and asked
if further information is needed at this time.
Larry Dunbar provided copies of a telecommunication action plan that is being presented to
the City Council on October 17, 2000, for approval. A part of that comprehensive plan is
a telecommunication ordinance that would be administered through the Planning
Commission and the Planning Department. He offered to answer questions the Commission
may have.
