On June 21, 2022, the Port Angeles City Council had the first reading for Ordinance No. 3693. A second
reading was held on July 5, 2022. Between the first and second readings, minor edits were made, however no
substantial changes were made to the Ordinance. Unfortunately, an older and incorrect draft of the Ordinance
was submitted to the City Council packet for signature at the second reading. This incorrect draft was
subsequently signed by City Council. In light of this scrivener's error, the Port Angeles City Clerk now
includes the correct, intended, Ordinance No. 3693 to this official file.
Kari Martinez -Bailey, City
