Subject: East City Hall Parking Lot LID Retrofit, Project TR1215 – Final Acceptance
Background / Analysis: This project originated nine years ago when a water quality grant application
was submitted to Ecology by City Staff in 2015. At the time, the City’s East City Hall parking lot was at
the end of its service life. Staff recognized an opportunity to install new stormwater management features
alongside the parking lot restoration work that would control and treat runoff before entering Peabody
Creek. Ecology also recognized an opportunity to showcase Low-Impact Development (LID) techniques
on the Peninsula and selected the application to move forward.
Due to legislative budget constraints, the proposal was not officially funded for design until 2019. Under
a no-match design grant from Ecology, the design work was performed by Herrera Environmental
Consultants, Inc. which culminated in award of a construction grant by Ecology in November 2022.
Ecology accepted the final design in May 2023. The City’s first advertisement for construction bids was
not awarded due to bid costs being in excess of available funding. A second advertisement in December
2023 also resulted in bids in excess of available funding, however, Ecology opted to cover the additional
costs to allow the City to award the project for construction with no additional match required of the City.
On February 20, 2024, City Council awarded a construction contract to Bruch & Bruch Construction,
Inc., from Port Angeles, WA to complete the work for an original total project amount of $1,498,367.30.
Work commenced on April 22nd, 2024. The project entailed installation of permeable asphalt and pavers
overtop an aggregate reservoir with flow control and underdrains leading to a landscaped bioretention cell
that provides runoff treatment before connecting into the City’s stormwater network that discharges to
nearby Peabody Creek. Cisterns were also installed to control existing roof runoff and a second
bioretention cell was installed on Peabody Street to treat roadway runoff. This project also included some
improvements to the parking lot lighting that was not grant reimbursable. Substantial Completion was
Summary: Staff is seeking City Council final acceptance for the work performed by Bruch & Bruch
Construction, Inc. for construction of the East City Hall Parking Lot LID Retrofit Project, TR1215. The
work has been inspected and accepted as complete with the final project costs amounting to
$1,539,055.34, including applicable taxes. A 5% retainage has been withheld.
Funding: This is a grant funded project by the Washington State Department of Ecology. This project
required two (2) Change Orders to complete the work which resulted in a final approved budget of
$1,587,953.07. Final payment has been made to Bruch & Bruch Construction for a total project amount
of $1,539,055.34. The grant agreement allows the City to be reimbursed for 88% of the total project cost
for construction.
Recommendation: Accept the East City Hall Parking Lot LID Retrofit Project TR1215 as complete
and authorize staff to proceed with project closeout and release the retainage bond upon receipt of all
required clearances.

Funding Overview: The City was awarded a Water Quality Stormwater Facility grant (WQC-2023-
PoAnPW-00153) from the WA Department of Ecology in November 2022 in the amount of
$1,182,854.12. The grant covered finalization of design, construction, project management, and close-out
of the project and required a 15% match from the City. After bid opening, the City accepted an additional
$426,664.00 from Ecology for construction of the full project bid and to accommodate an aggregate
shortfall detailed in Change Order 01 which allowed the City to award the project. An additional
$39,615.77 was allocated by City Council to the project for Change Order 02 for a final approved
construction budget of $1,587,953.07. Final payment to the contractor in total for the work was

Subject: Water Treatment Plant SCADA Generator Purchase (MEC-2024-41)
Background / Analysis: The Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Supervisory, Control, and Date Acquisition
(SCADA) system currently includes a battery backup that will sustain the system for approximately 20-30
minutes after power loss. If power is not restored before the battery backup is drained, the system will
power down. Startup of this system is cumbersome and often requires assistance from IT and
instrumentation technicians resulting in delays in startup and operational difficulties to stabilize the plant
as staff identifies and corrects control setpoint issues.
This small automatic generator will start and switch the breaker automatically to provide continuous power
to these critical systems. The WTP has a large, whole plant generator that must be manually started and
switched over to power the facility. Due to the short timing requirements and size of the main generator, it
is not a practical solution to the small demand of the SCADA system.
A separate installation contract for this equipment will be put out to bid following delivery.
Notice of the bid opportunity was advertised through the Peninsula Daily News and posted to the City
website on October 31, 2024. Bids were received and opened on November 19, 2024. One vendor bid on
this material purchase. The estimate for this purchase was $25,000. The engineer’s estimate was based on
residential grade equipment. The bid requirement was updated to reflect the need for commercial/industrial
grade thus increasing the cost.

Subject: Award an HB 1590 Affordable Housing Grant to Michael Anderson
Background / Analysis: The City of Port Angeles has identified housing as one of four strategic focus
areas. The City has initiated numerous programs and incentives to support this important work including
fee waivers and various grant programs.
Two of the City’s supportive housing grant programs are made possible through local Sales and Use Tax
funds. On July 16, 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution 15-19 regarding collecting a 0.0146% Sales
Tax Credit and a qualifying Local Sales Tax of 0.1% as allowed by SHB 1406 to support critical housing
needs. The City Council took further action through the approval of Resolution 16-19 on September 3,
2019, stating Council’s intended uses of the affordable and supportive housing funds. Ordinance 3655
was adopted by Council on February 4, 2020, imposing a local Affordable Housing Sales and Use Tax
(HB 1590). On April 7, 2020, the Council adopted Ordinance 3658, further clarifying the intended uses of
these critical funds.
Based on these efforts, the collection of the Sales and Use Tax credit from SHB 1406 generates
approximately $58,000 annually, and the funds collected from the HB 1590 0.01% Affordable Housing
Local Sales and Use Tax increase generates approximately $580,000 a year for authorized supportive
housing projects.
Michael Anderson has approached the City requesting the use of HB 1590 funding for an eligible project.
Peninsula Behavioral Health is using the property at 138 W. 2nd Street to construct 36 new permanent
supportive housing for individuals with behavioral health needs who earn 50% of the Area Median
Income or below. Michael Anderson is requesting funds to relocate the existing residence from 138 West
2nd Street to 213 South Oak Street and use the residence to support in-home supportive behavioral health
Summary: The City’s Housing Rehabilitation Fund includes revenues received from affordable sales tax
collection (HB 1590) to provide grants to support critical housing needs for low-income individuals and
families in Port Angeles. Michael Anderson is requesting a grant in the amount of $34,589.30 to relocate
a residence from 138 West 2nd Street to 213 South Oak Street for use as an Oxford House in-home
behavioral health program.
Funding: A $34,589.30 grant is available from funding received from affordable sales tax collection
(HB 1590) for supportive housing efforts.
Recommendation: 1) Approve a $34,589.30 grant to Michael Anderson from affordable sales tax
funds (HB 1590) as authorized by RCW 82.14.530, and 2) authorize the City Manager to sign a grant
contract, and to make minor modifications, as necessary.

programs. Specifically, the $34,589.30 grant from affordable housing sales tax funds (HB 1590) would be
utilized to move and relocate utilities to move the residence, as this is a qualifying project under RCW
82.14.530(2)(a).
Once the home is relocated and rehabilitated, Michael Anderson intends to accommodate 14-20 adult
men. The Oxford House program will offer a drug-free environment and in-home community support
groups to aid in the individuals' recovery. Established in 1975, more than 125 peer-reviewed academic
journals have published articles on the subject. In one study that followed 897 residents in 219 Oxford
Houses across the country for 27 months, the DePaul University research found that only 13% relapsed.
After reviewing the application, project narrative, program eligibility, selection criteria, and fund
availability the Community and Economic Development Manager and the Housing Administrator
recommend approval of this grant request.
Funding Overview: Funds from affordable housing sales tax (HB 1590) are available for this grant
request in the amount of $34,589.30.

centers, (f) the operation, delivery, or evaluation of mental and behavioral health treatment
programs and services.
As one measure to advance its goal, the City, pursuant to RCW 82.14.530, has enacted an
Affordable Housing Sales and Use Tax (1590) grant application program whereby entities may
qualify to receive a grant for assisting with the costs associated with providing affordable
housing or the aforementioned services.
The Owner submitted to the City a completed Affordable Housing Sales and Use Tax (1590)
grant application. The proposed project is to be located on parcel #06-30-00-00-5340 in Port
Angeles (“Property”) and is legally described in Exhibit A of this Contract.
After review, on October 29, 2024, the Director determined that the application met all the
eligibility requirements under RCW 82.14.530(2)(a) and City’s procedural requirements to
qualify for an Affordable Housing Sales and Use Tax (1590) grant, except for execution and
recording of this Contract. The purpose of this Contract is to impose enforceable restrictions on
the Owner’s proposed housing project (the “Project”) and to assure that implementation of the

Narrative for SUT
My goal is to save the group home building scheduled for demolition at 138 W 2nd St by moving it across
the alley to 213 S Oak Street and the house at 136 W 2nd St to 119 W 3rd St They will be Oxford houses
that houses between 14-20 men and 5-8 women respectively. This will benefit our community providing
housing for at risk population.
Oxford House, began in 1975 with over 80% success rate, has as its primary goal the provision of housing
and rehabilitative support for the alcoholic and drug addict who wants to stop drinking or using drugs and
stay stopped. In its simplest form, an Oxford House describes a self-run, self-supporting and drug free
home. 1.The house must be self-run on a democratic basis; 2. The house must be financially self-
supported; and 3. Any resident who drinks alcohol or uses drugs must be immediately expelled. Most
Oxford Houses follow all the Charter conditions and run the House in accordance with the letter and spirit
of the conditions. Residents must: Refrain from disruptive behavior (Disruptive behavior includes
participating in any criminal activity, such as drug trafficking, prostitution, shoplifting, assault, and theft
within the house or any other activity that may threaten the standing of the Oxford House in the
community.). Abstain from drug and alcohol use. Pay rent and contribute to the maintenance of the house.
Houses typically have a President, Treasurer, Secretary, Comptroller, and Coordinator. The responsibilities
of the officers are to ensure the House runs smoothly, to conduct regular House meetings, uphold the
Oxford House traditions, and keep good financial records for the house.
Monthly rent is $600/mn per person. All utilities are included in the $600. Oxford house keeps $200/mn
per person for utilities and other expenses. As landlord, I will keep $400/mn per person for taxes,
insurance, building maintenance.
Cost of these projects for moving utility lines:
City Light pre-study for switching/moving neutral $1,409.44
City Light Switching for wires/moving neutral $6,136.53

Subject: Energy Conservation Incentive Payment – McKinley mill
Background / Analysis: The Bonneville Power Association (BPA) energy efficiency program
provides the City the opportunity to offer multiple energy conservation programs for residential,
commercial, and industrial electric customers. This program provides multiple incentives including
energy efficient lighting retrofits, reduced cost energy efficient heat pumps for low-income rate payers,
and process efficiency studies and implementations for industrial customers.
As a part of this program, starting around 2020 McKinley has slowly been replacing their old lighting
fixtures with high efficiency lighting over a number of years as processing downtime would allow. Using
the BPA calculation methodologies McKinley has added the replacements together in a bulk number
resulting in a $46,657.00 incentive payment.
This payment is in accordance with past energy efficient incentive payments and will have no net
financial impact to the City.
Additional work starting in 2022 pertaining to McKinley’s additional lighting and other energy efficient
processes as well as participating in a BPA industrial efficiency program will likely result in an additional
payment being requested in the future.
Funding Overview: No net impact. The City of Port Angeles is eligible for reimbursement for
conservation incentive payments through the BPA energy efficiency program.
Attachments: None
Summary: Staff is seeking City Council authorization to remit a large energy conservation incentive
payment for the installation of energy efficient lighting at the McKinley mill. Through the City’s
participation in the Bonneville Power Association (BPA) energy efficiency program, the City is eligible
for reimbursement for conservation incentive payments from the BPA.
Funding: No net impact. The City is eligible for reimbursement for conservation incentive payments
through the BPA energy efficiency program.
Recommendation: Authorize and approve an energy incentive payment to McKinley mill in the
amount of $46,657.00.

Subject: Intrusion Detection and Prevention Solution Hardware, Software, Support and Three-
Year Agreement Purchase
Background / Analysis: IT staff have looked at current needs and projected future needs for network
security and applied for grant funds, to focus on investing in a 5th generation network intrusion detection
and prevention solution (IDPS). IT staff have spent considerable time researching potential solutions and
reaching out to peer organizations to learn about solutions being utilized to make the best investment
available. Implementing a next generation IDPS will allow IT staff to implement additional network
protection measures while ensuring the flow of trusted data.
IT staff believe that the three-year subscription and support agreement will allow staff to implement,
utilize and enhance our network security posture while allowing staff to revisit and analyze next steps
after three years. This new IDPS will be positioned at the edge of the City’s network, functioning as a
vigilant guardian trained by IT staff to constantly monitor network flow heuristics and take specific,
programable actions if and when a threat is detected.
City staff reviewed multiple vendors and as a result recommend utilizing SHI due to their inclusion on the
Washington state Department of Enterprise Services vendor list and blanket contract. The solution
consists of a Palo Alto Networks, a NASPO approved vendor under contract #05819, PA-1420 hardware
firewall, core security subscription including advanced threat prevention, advanced URL filtering,
Summary: City Staff have researched and selected an intrusion detection and prevention solution
(IDPS). IT Staff are ready to move forward with purchase. The IDPS solution selected includes the
firewall appliance hardware ($14,246.25), three-year core security subscription ($33,044.63) and three-
year premium support ($9,815.64). The grant funds for this project were approved by Council on
December 19th, 2023, and the capital project (#IT0123) was approved in the 2025-2030 Capital Facilities
Plan.
Funding: A portion of the funding for this purchase is covered by the State and Local Cybersecurity
Grand Program (SLCGP) awarded in December 2023 with additional funding authorized in the 2024
budget in the amount of $200,000 in project IT0123 – Intrusion Detection and Prevention.
Recommendation: 1) Approve the purchase of the Palo Alto Networks (NASPO Contract #05819)
IDPS hardware, three-year core security software subscription, and three-year support agreement from
SHI in the amount of $62,189.00 including tax, and 2) authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract
and other documents needed to complete these purchases and implement the three-year agreement on the
terms and conditions offered through the Washington State Department of Enterprise Services, and to
make minor modifications, as necessary.

Subject: Sniffer Robotics Service Agreement – SVC-2024-35
Background / Analysis:
On May 13, 2024, the Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE) adopted a new rule for Landfill
Methane Emissions pursuant to Chapter 173-408 WAC. This rulemaking establishes new requirements
for municipal solid waste landfills that have received solid waste after January 1, 1992. The new
requirements including technology, performance, monitoring, reporting and recordkeeping will be
implemented January 1, 2025.
Staff is seeking consultant support to remain compliant with DOE regulations to monitor methane in the
City’s 351-compliant landfill cover. Due to the steep terrain of the 351 cell, the threat of injury to solid
waste staff, and the monitoring requirement to cover the cell in a serpentine pattern every 15 feet, staff is
seeking the help of Sniffer Robotics to provide this service with their drone technology.
Staff selected Sniffer Robotics from the City’s Municipal Research and Services Center (MRSC) roster,
as they are highly recommended from the City’s consultant firm, Aspect Consulting, and is approved by
DOE for services and reporting requirements.
Funding Overview: Funding is available in the Solid Waste Professional Services budget (404-7538-
537-4150) in the amount of $32,000.00 per year for a two-year contract beginning January 1, 2025,
through December 31, 2026, for a contract amount not to exceed $64,000.00, including applicable taxes.
Attachment: Services Agreement SVC-2024-35
Summary: Staff is seeking City Council approval to award a service agreement to Sniffer Robotics,
SVC-2024-35, for landfill methane emissions monitoring. The Washington State Department of Ecology
(DOE) pursuant to Chapter 173-408 WAC requires that the City search for and repair any methane leaks
in the City 351-compliant landfill cover and flair piping system and monitor quarterly.
Funding: Funding is available in the 2025 Solid Waste Professional Services budget (404-7538-537-
4150) in the amount of $32,000.00 per year for a two-year contract amount not to exceed $64,000.00,
including applicable taxes.
Recommendation: Award a two-year Service Agreement to Sniffer Robotics, SVC-2024-35, for an
amount not to exceed $64,000 and authorize the City Manager to execute all contract-related documents,
to administer the contract, and to make minor modifications as necessary.

Sarina Carrizosa, Finance Director
Subject: Adoption of the 2025 Budget
Background / Analysis:
The 2025 Budget placed an emphasis on promoting and implementing the Strategic Plan adopted by City
Council in Fall of 2024. This Plan was at the heart of the budgetary decisions when building the 2025
Proposed Budget and drove key concepts in the budget including:
▪Enhancing the community resilience by increasing budget for Public Safety for
infrastructure and personnel needs, the continuance of proactively addressing the opioid
crisis with Community Paramedics and the REdisCOVERY program.
▪Increased grant opportunities that will provide support to community partners and
provide capacity in the budget for backlogged projects. Additional capacity has also
been built into the budget for three permanent positions, a Capital Projects Inspector, a
Utility Worker II and a part-time Information Support Specialist and well as two
temporary positions in Human Resources and Community Development to assist with
the implementation of the Enterprise Resource system. Finally, retaining and recruiting
Staff is of utmost importance, the 2025 Budget assists with this by providing cost-of-
living increases and salary adjustments in some instances over a three year period. All of
these additions to the 2025 will provide optimization of resources Citywide.
▪Addressing the Housing crisis has been further been demonstrated and supported in 2025
through the continuance of the Housing Administrator position, maintain Affordable
Housing fee waivers, and initiating the design of the Housing Pipeline project.
Summary: One of the most important Council decisions each year is the approval of the annual budget.
The budget process is extensive and begins in March of each year with the Capital Facilities Plan &
Transportation Improvement Plan (CFP & TIP). A key component is public input. The City of Port
Angeles is required by RCW 35A.33.070 to hold a public hearing on the budget. The 2025 Budget has
been available for citizen review since October 9, 2024. There was also a Revenue Sources presentation
and Public Hearing on October 15th as well as a work session regarding the 2025 Budget on October 22,
2024. This is the continuation of the public hearing and the second reading and adoption of the ordinance
adopting the 2025 Budget.
Funding: The 2025 Citywide Budget is set at $156,927,700 and is balanced.
Recommendation: It is recommended tonight that the City Council should:
1.Complete the continued Public Hearing on the 2025 Budget.
2.Conduct the second reading of 2025 Budget Ordinance, and
3.Adopt the Ordinance
December 3, 2024 F - 1
▪ The Proposed 2025 Budget includes $30.4 million in investments to the City’s
infrastructure. The majority of the projects planned in the 2025 Budget also increase
community connectivity and provide safer walking routes throughout the City.
The approval of the annual budget each year is one of the most important decisions City Council makes.
The budget process is extensive and incorporates Council guidance throughout the year from the Strategic
Plan, Comprehensive Plan, Climate Action Plan and the Capital Facilities Plan & Transportation
Improvement Plan (CFP & TIP). In addition, to help prepare for the budget development and review
process, a number of workshops and information have been conducted and provided to Council that
focused on both the status of the 2024 Budget, including Budget Amendments #1 and #2, and the issues
facing the City in the development of the 2025 City Manager Recommended Budget including the Capital
Facilities Plan and Transportation Improvement Plan process.
Additionally, a key component to the budget process is public input. The City of Port Angeles is required
by RCW 35A.33.070 to hold a public hearing on the budget. Tonight’s meeting will include an
opportunity for public input on the planned 2025 Budget. State law also requires that the City Manager
provide a balanced budget for Council review no later than November 1st of each fiscal (calendar) year.
The 2025 Budget was delivered to Council and posted to the City website on October 9, 2024.
Finally, since the presentation of the 2025 Preliminary Budget on October 22nd there have been a few
minor changes to the final budget presented tonight. The first change is the movement of unfinished
capital projects from the 2024 Budget into the 2025 Budget for completion. This is a standard process as
most projects carry over multiple years and the movement prior to a budget amendment allows spending
to occur seamlessly. These changes are outlined in detail in an attachment to this memo. The second item
is the closure of the Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) fund #463. This fund is no longer necessary as the
refunding of the 2020 Water and Wastewater revenue bonds combined the debt and it is now able to be
reported in the Wastewater Capital Fund. The closure of this fund will allow more efficient tracking of
debt and projects associated with the CSO. Additionally, since the first reading of the ordinance one
additional change has occurred to include the recently adopted Lodging Tax budget items into the 2025
Budget. No other changes have occurred.
Staff is requesting that following the public hearing, City Council adopt the 2025 Budget Ordinance
implementing the City Manager Recommended Budget.

Subject: Municipal Code Update 24-125 to the Port Angeles Municipal Code, Amending Chapters
2.18, 16.04, 16.08, 16.09, 16.10, 16.12, 16.14, 17.13, 17.19, 17.31, 17.37, 17.44, 17.45
17.96, and 18.02 relating to RCW 36.70B Local Project Review Updates and Senate Bill
(SB) 5290 Requirements for Project Permit Procedures.
Background / Analysis:
SB 5290 amends the Local Project Review Act, Chapter 36.70B RCW, with the intent of improving the
timeliness and predictability of local project reviews.
While SB 5290 does not specifically address building permits and other development permits, the
Department of Commerce has suggested that the omission of building permits was in error and cities should
assume building permits are included in the revised timelines and reporting requirements. As such, the City
has elected to include all development permits in the amended procedures to create clear expectations for
both staff and applicants, and hold City staff accountable to new state mandated timelines.
City staff have utilized the SB 5290 code update process to also create a clearer procedural process for all
project permits the City reviews. The updates are procedural in nature, focusing solely on review criteria
and do not alter existing zoning regulations or permitted uses within the city. This proposal includes
removing many procedures now found throughout the PAMC and updating them to a clear, consistent,
centralized, and user-friendly procedural chapter. Additionally, Madrona Law assisted in the drafting
process as part of the code re-envisioning/code audit process. Approximately 100 pages of current code are
being consolidated down to roughly 70 pages as part of this proposal.
Summary: Municipal Code Update (MCA) 24-125 addresses the required amendments to the Port Angeles
Municipal Code (PAMC) necessary to implement SB 5290 and Chapter 36.70B RCW. The required updates
include changes to project permit review timelines and procedural requirements of the City review
processes. To better streamline and consolidate the PAMC, staff have also proposed to relocate all
procedural processes into Chapter 18.02 PAMC. Madrona Law assisted in the drafting process as part of the
code re-envisioning/code audit process.
Funding: N/A.
Recommendation: 1) Open the public hearing; 2) continue the public hearing; 3) conduct the first
reading of the ordinance; 4) continue this item to the December 17, 2024, Council meeting for final
adoption.

D. Consolidated permit processes. The optional consolidated review of more than one permit will follow the
highest numbered procedure, and the time period for the final decision shall be the longest of the permit
time periods identified in this section per PAMC 18.02.030 (B).
E. The number of days an application for a project permit is in review with the City shall be calculated from
the day completeness is determined to the date a final decision is issued on the project permit application.
The number of days shall be calculated by counting every calendar day and excluding the following time
periods:
1. Any period between the day that the City has notified the applicant, in writing, that additional
information is required to further process the application and the day when responsive
information is resubmitted by the applicant.
December 3, 2024 F - 76
Page 21 of 34
2. Any period after an applicant informs the City, in writing that they would like to temporarily
suspend review of the project permit application until the time that the applicant notifies the City,
in writing, that they would like to resume the application. Conditions for temporary suspension
are located in PAMC 18.02.210.
3. Any period after an administrative appeal is filed until the administrative appeal is resolved and
any additional time period provided by the administrative appeal has expired.
F. New time period. The time periods for the City to process a permit shall start over if an applicant proposes
a change in use that adds or removes commercial or residential elements from the original application that
would make the application fail to meet the determination of procedural completeness for the new use, as
required by the City.
G. Nonresponsiveness. If, at any time, an applicant informs the City, in writing, that the applicant would like to
temporarily suspend the review of the project for more than 60 days, or if an applicant is not responsive for
more than 60 consecutive days after the City has notified the applicant, in writing, that additional
information is required to further process that application, an additional 30 days may be added to the time
periods for City action to issue a final decision for each type of project permit that is subject to this chapter.
Any written notice from the City to the applicant that additional information is required to further process
the application must include a notice that nonresponsiveness for 60 consecutive days may result in 30 days
being added to the time for review.
H. For the purposes of this subsection, “nonresponsiveness” means that an applicant is not making
demonstratable progress on providing additional requested information to the City, or that there is no
ongoing communication from the applicant to the local government on the applicant’s ability or willingness
to provide the additional information within 60 days.
I. Time limit exceptions. Annual amendments to the comprehensive plan are not subject to the requirements
of this section. Additionally, the time limits shall not apply if a project permit application:
1. Requires an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan or a development regulation.
2. Requires approval of a new fully contained community as provided in RCW 36.70A.350, a master
planned resort as provided in RCW 36.70A.360, or the siting of an essential public facility as
provided in RCW 36.70A.200.

Article VII. Conditional Uses.
18.02.250 Conditional use permit review and approval processes.
A. Purpose. The purpose of the conditional use permit process is to provide flexibility in the application of the
use regulations contained in this code to accommodate uses that may be appropriate in an established
zoning district under certain circumstances but inappropriate in the same zoning district under others. At
the time of application, a review of the location, design, configuration, and potential impacts of the
proposed use shall be conducted by comparing the use to the goals and policies established in the Port
Angeles Comprehensive Plan and to other adopted development standards. The review shall determine
whether the proposed use should be permitted by weighing the public need or the benefit to be derived
from the use against the impact that it may cause.
B. Scope. This section shall apply to each project permit application for a conditional use permit. This includes
administrative conditional use permits and conditional use permits.
C. Application submittal and contents. The application for a conditional use permit shall be submitted to the
Department of Community and Economic Development on the application form provided by the
department, along with the appropriate fees established under the Port Angeles Master Fee Schedule. The
application shall include all materials required for a complete application pursuant to PAMC 18.02.110. The
Applicable Director may waive specific submittal requirements determined to be unnecessary for
the review of an application.
D. Conditional use project permit types and review processes.

refer a discretionary conditional use permit application to the hearing examiner to be processed
according to the procedures for Type III land use decisions established in Article IV of this chapter.
i. Required findings. Prior to referring an application for a use listed at conditional
discretionary to the hearing examiner, the Applicable Director shall make one or
both of the following findings:
a. The application involves potentially significant issues relating to location,
design, configuration, and potential impacts to surrounding properties and
the community that can be more appropriately considered and addressed
through an open record public hearing before the Port Angeles hearing
examiner; or
b. The application seeks approval of a use involving complex legal issues
necessitating special expertise in the decision-maker.
ii. Timing. The Applicable Director may determine whether or not to refer an
application to the hearing examiner for a public hearing, concurrent with the
December 3, 2024 F - 81
Page 26 of 34
determination of completeness required under PAMC 18.02.120 or after the public
comment period has expired.
iii. Discretion of the Applicable Director. The Applicable Director’s decision to refer an
application to the hearing examiner under this subsection to be processed as a Type
III application shall be for the purpose of affording maximum fairness in decision -
making and procedural due process protection and shall not affect the substantive
applicability of local, state, or federal policies or laws applicable to any permit
application. The decision to refer any application to the hearing examiner to be
processed as a Type III application rests exclusively within the discretion of the
Applicable Director.
iv. No notice or hearing is required. Because the Applicable Director’s decision to refer
(or not refer) an application for a listed conditional discretionary project permit
application to the hearing examiner for a public hearing rests solely in the Applicable
Director’s discretion, the City is not required to provide prior notice of the Applicable
Director’s decision. The Applicable Director shall not be required to hold a public
hearing on such a decision. The decision of the Direction made pursuant to this
subsection (2) shall not constitute an appealable administrative decision.
3. Applications for uses listed as a conditional use permit in PAMC Title 17 shall be processed
according to the procedures for a Type III project permit decision established in Article IV of this
chapter.
4. Applications for uses listed as an unclassified use permit, or are not defined in PAMC Title 17, shall
be processed as a conditional use permit according to the procedures for a Type III project permit
decision established in Article IV of this chapter.
E. Approval criteria for all conditional uses.
1. The City may approve or approve with modifications or conditions an application for a any Type of
conditional use permit if all of the following criteria are satisfied:

application for approval for a conditional use permit until the conditional use permit is approved and
becomes effective.
I. Effective period – expiration.
1. A conditional use permit automatically expires and becomes void if the applicant fails to file for a

Staff Recommendation

Date: December 3, 2024
To: City Council
From: Nathan West, City Manager
Sarina Carrizosa, Finance Director
Subject: 2024 Budget Amendment #3
Background / Analysis:
The 3rd Amendment will align the budget with the changes to City revenues and expenditures that
occurred in the last portion of the year, including deferring projects to 2025, increasing expenditures to
complete projects, and other miscellaneous budgetary changes and corrections. Most of these changes
have already been approved by Council.
With this amendment, the projected year-end unassigned fund balance in the General Fund is estimated to
be $6,883,260 or 26.5%. Some of the individual actions require funding to come from reserves (money
unspent at the end of the fiscal year automatically rolls into reserves/fund balance), approval of the
ordinance will require a super majority of the entire Council, or five (5) affirmative votes.
Attached is a detailed list of proposed budget changes, the budget amendment ordinance, along with
Exhibit A which lists total revenues and expenditures by fund for the 2024 Budget amendment #2 and
proposed amendment #3. This is the second reading and adoption of this ordinance. Since the first reading
there have not been any changes to the amendment.
Funding Overview:
The 3rd amendment to the 2024 Budget is balanced at $184,835,900.
Attached: List of proposed budget changes.
2024 Budget Ordinance – Amendment #3.
Exhibit A.
Summary: The 2024 Budget is being amended for the third and final time to adjust several funds
reflecting changes in revenues and expenditures that have occurred during the final months of the year.
As this budget amendment includes changes to revenues, as well as an authorization to use funds from
reserves, the ordinance must be approved by a super-majority of the entire Council or at least five (5)
affirmative votes. This is the second reading and adoption of this ordinance.
Funding: The 3rd amendment to the 2024 Budget is balanced at $184,835,900.
Recommendation: It is recommended the City Council should:
1.Conduct the second reading of the 2024 Budget amendment #3 ordinance; and
2.Adopt the ordinance.

Subject: Utility Base Rate – Voluntary Shutoff of Service
Background / Analysis: In 2021, City Council began a process to consider additional options for
revenue that will continue to support the programs and services within the City’s budget. Several options
were considered that would assist in balancing the Citywide budget including offsetting the City’s cost to
perform services and vacant property fees. As part of this discussion the Utility Advisory Committee (UAC)
discussed charging vacant properties base rates that are serviceable by available utilities. The UAC passed
a recommendation to Council at the August 22, 2023 meeting to adopt “an ordinance that all vacant
properties, with or without a structure, that are serviceable by available utilities and solid waste routes be
charged the minimum of the utility base rate in accordance with regular utility bill cycles, unless prohibited
by law.” In addition, City Council approved the adoption of this ordinance in the City’s Strategic Plan.
Staff is recommending the changes for charging base rates to residential and commercial vacant properties
in two phases with the first phase including applying charges to voluntary disconnections and the remaining
vacant properties that are not currently connected to City utilities, but that are inside of the City’s service
area, as a second phase in this process. The second phase is significantly more time intensive and will
require the assessment of all vacant property within the City to determine ownership and work with these
property owners to create City utility accounts for billing. Staff are recommending an addition to the Port
Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC) section 13.16.010 that grants the City the authority to charge the base
rate for all services provided regardless of use or consumption. It is intended that this would apply to all
utility account types including residential and commercial customers.
The City is required to ensure there are specific amounts of available power and water to City customers
Summary: The Utility Advisory Committee has sent a favorable recommendation to City Council to
consider charging a base rate to all vacant properties as well as voluntary disconnection from the
system. City Council has further prioritized this through the Strategic Plan. Staff is recommending a
change to the section 13.16.010 of City Code to grant authority to charge base rates to all properties in
which utility service is available regardless of the usage or consumption of these utilities. This is the
first reading of the ordinance adopting this change.
Funding: It is expected these changes will generate additional revenue in the Electric, Water, Wastewater,
Solid Waste and Medic 1 funds.
Recommendation: Staff recommends City Council:
1.Conduct the first reading of the ordinance amending section 13.16.010 of the Port Angeles
Municipal Code relating to Utility Account Fees, and
2.Continue this item to the December 17th meeting.
December 3, 2024 G - 10
regardless of use. Further, the City must plan for ability to provide the services of all utilities to every
customer that is currently connected to the City’s utility system. This includes adequate staffing levels. The
reservation of utilities and consideration of service levels is costly to the City and its rate payers. The change
to require all users to pay base rates for voluntary disconnection of services allows these costs to be shared
without overburdening other rate payers utilizing the system.
This is the first reading of the ordinance amending section 13.16.010 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code
relating to Utility Account Fees with adoption of this ordinance planned for December 17th.
Funding: It is expected these changes will generate additional revenue in the Electric, Water, Wastewater,
Solid Waste and Medic 1 funds.

Subject: Code Re-Envisioning: Title 2 – Boards, Committees, and Commissions
Background / Analysis: The City has seven Permanent Committees that advise the City Council and
City Departments. The ordinances that govern those Permanent Committees are contained in Title 2 of
the PAMC, and they are being revised as part of the City’s overall code re-envisioning project. In April
of this year, the full Council began detailed discussions of revisions to those ordinances. The Council
identified several goals for the code amendments. They included the following:
•A standardized selection Process for Board and Commission members
•Standardizing the procedures for (almost) all of the committees
•Removal process
•Rules for creating workplan items
•Rights and duties section of committee members
•Terms of Service
•Council Participation
•Number of Positions
•Quorum and Voting
•Student Participation
Many of these goals had already been discussed by Council and some were the original basis for the code
re-envisioning project. A longstanding goal stated multiple times by Council members is greater
consistency among the Permanent Committees.
Summary: The City has seven permanent boards, commissions, and committees that exist to advise the
City Council and City Departments. They are the Civil Service Commission; LEOFF1 Disability Board,
Public Safety Advisory Board; Parks, Recreation and Facilities Commission; Planning Commission;
Utility Advisory Committee; and the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (all collectively referred to as the
Permanent Committees.) In April this year, the Council appointed an ad hoc subcommittee to review in
detail the ordinances governing the Permanent Committees. As the product of that work, the
subcommittee reached consensus on a draft ordinance to present to the full Council. That draft ordinance
is presented tonight for first reading.
Funding: N/A.
Recommendation: Conduct a first reading of the ordinance and continue it to the next regular
meeting.
December 3, 2024 G - 14
After the initial discussions, the Council appointed an ad hoc subcommittee to review the existing
ordinance in greater detail and to propose amendments to the full Council. The subcommittee conducted
approximately six meetings since April, and the draft presented tonight is the product of the
subcommittee’s work.
Recently Council approved an ordinance establishing a newly required LEOFF1 Board on October 15th.
This ordinance will be merged into the new version of Title 2 once adopted and codified.
Attached you will find a clean copy of a draft code. We have also attached a track changes version of the
code comparing it to the existing Port Angeles Municipal Code.
Recommendation: Conduct a first reading of the ordinance and continue it to the next regular
meeting.

Subject: Authorization of Solid Waste Fund Cash Balance Options
Background / Analysis:
In 2021, the City terminated its agreement with Waste Connections, Inc (WCI) for operations and
services at the City of Port Angeles transfer station. As part of the termination of this agreement the City
was required to pay in full the remaining amounts owed to WCI in the contract of approximately $3.2M
as well as purchase needed equipment in the amount of $2.7M due to the age and end of service life of the
equipment that remained at the Transfer Station. In addition, the City also settled a claim with WCI for
$1.99M. These payments coupled with increased transport costs that have occurred due to changes in
market conditions in the Solid Waste industry across the nation have significantly depleted the Solid
Waste cash balance. In 2024, transport costs are once again expected to significantly exceed amounts
planned in the Budget and the cost-of-service analysis (COSA). These unplanned amounts therefore do
not have a revenue offset and will negatively impact the cash balance in this fund resulting in the need to
take corrective action to maintain bond covenant requirements and fiscal health in the Solid Waste fund.
Staff have done everything within their authority to prevent further depletion of the cash balance in this
fund and are now in need of direction from Council to proceed with any further action. To assist with this,
Staff have identified several options in the Solid Waste fund that will result in increased cash flow at year
end and help offset the higher-than-expected cost of service. Staff is recommending Council approve the
options in this memo to be implemented in the order in which they appear as they have been carefully
considered to ensure the least amount of impact to other departments, the community and City customers.
Further, Staff recommends Council approve these options to be effective in the 2024 and 2025 fiscal
years to ensure good standing until the 2026-2027 COSA and rates are approved.
Summary: Staff have identified a cash issue in the Solid Waste fund that has resulted in the need for
Council consideration and approval of several options that Staff may utilize in the event the cash balance
in this fund is impacted negatively resulting from settlement payments to Waste Connections, Inc as well
as transport costs in excess of amounts planned in the cost-of-service analysis (COSA).
Funding: Options included in this recommendation will prevent the cash balance in the Solid Waste
fund from falling below acceptable levels in 2024 and 2025. There are no additional costs associated with
this request.
Recommendation: Authorize the Staff recommended sequential options for implementation in the
2024 and 2025 Solid Waste Budget to maintain required cash balance thresholds as needed.
December 3, 2024 I - 1
1.Hiring Freeze in the Solid Waste division
2.Deferral of the principal debt payment on the interfund loan between the Water and Solid Waste
divisions in the amount of $700,000 each year.
3.Deferral of all capital transfers from Solid Waste to other City departments.
4.Deferral of all Solid Waste capital projects.
5.Waiver of utility tax paid to the General Fund, with prioritization of amounts in excess of budget
estimates.
6.Deferral of transfers in support of street maintenance
7.Early review of the COSA and adoption of increased rates.
Without action to prevent the further use of cash in the Solid Waste fund, the ending fund balance will be
negative causing serious financial implications, including failure to meet debt requirements, the need to
consider other debt in this fund and failure to meet governmental accounting standards that could result in
an audit finding.
Funding Overview:
Options included in this recommendation will prevent the cash balance in the Solid Waste fund from
falling to unacceptable levels in 2024 and 2025. There are no additional costs associated with this request.

Subject: 2025 Lodging Tax Reserve Funds
Background / Analysis: Every year the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC) meets to review
and determine funding recommendations for applications received for Lodging Tax (LTAX) funds. For the
2025 Budget the LTAC provided a recommendation to fund applications in an amount of $1,273,900. This
recommendation left $238,751 in application requests that were underfunded or unfunded. At the November
19th City Council meeting Council passed a motion that included direction to “request that the underfunded
and unfunded applications be considered at the committees first meeting of 2025 and direct staff to bring a
recommended reserve amount for that consideration to the December 3rd meeting.”
The approval of the 2025 LTAX budget included the use of $213,438 from excess Lodging Tax reserves.
This approval still left approximately $523,000 available in excess reserves in this fund for use. The
available funds are excess reserves from higher tax collection than anticipated in the last year. These excess
reserves are separate from the required 25% fund balance per City policy and will n ot impact directed
reserve amounts. Additionally, lodging tax collection in 2024 has remained higher than anticipated in the
Budget and it is expected collection will end the year in line with 2023 actual collection of over $1.3M.
These revenues will be placed into the Lodging tax fund reserves for use as approved by the LTAC and
City Council. These funds may only be utilized for LTAX purposes in accordance with State law.
The 16 applications that were underfunded or unfunded in the LTAC recommendation total $238,751 and
are demonstrated in the table below:
Summary: At the November 19th Council meeting City Council approved the Lodging Tax Advisory
Committee’s (LTAC) recommendation for lodging tax funding applications including event grants,
operational and capital in the amount of $1,273,900. In addition, Council directed Staff to provide a
recommended funding amount for the 16 applications that were not recommended for full funding or
approval by the LTAC. Staff is recommending the use of $238,751 from excess lodging tax reserves for
these applications.
Funding: The remaining unfunded and underfunded applications total $238,751. Funding is available in
the amount of $523,000 in excess lodging tax reserves.
Recommendation: Staff recommends City Council:
1. Request the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC) meet to consider the utilization of $238,751
from excess reserves to fully fund any applications that were not previously recommended for full
funding or were underfunded as part of the LTAC 2025 Budget, and
2. Consider these applications outside the scope of previously determined funding category limits.

Date: December 3, 2024
To: City Council
From: Corey Delikat, Parks & Recreation Director
Subject: Sourcewell Contract- Civic Field Videoboard (PK-0418)
Background / Analysis: The City of Port Angeles was notified by the West Coast Baseball League in
2022 that there were potential funds in the Legislature that could help fund Washington State minor
league stadium improvements, which is a category that the City’s Civic Field falls under. To assist with
their efforts, on November 1, 2022, the City Council approved and authorize Mayor Dexter to sign a letter
to the Governor’s Office in support for use of a one-time “Minor League Baseball Publicly Owned
Stadium Improvement Fund” that would distribute a total of $24 million to 11 community stadiums,
including our very own Civic Field. If funds were received, it was the City’s and Port Angeles’s Lefties
intention to replace the current 30+ year old scoreboard with a new state-of-the-art videoboard as part of
Capital Facilities Plan project PK-0418. This upgrade/enhancement would not only be an amazing asset
to Civic Field but also for the entire community. This videoboard will not only be used by the Port
Angeles Lefties, but also by any other user groups who uses the facility such as the Port Angeles School
District and Wilder Baseball. The cost of the videoboard is $695,653.00
On January 22, 2024, the Parks & Recreation Department was notified by the state that Governor Inslee
released these improvement funds and that the City of Port Angeles was going to receive a $600,000
Commerce grant. The Commerce grant award is technically $582,000 as the state receives 3% of these
funds for administrative fees to assist with the managing/processing of the grant. Before being eligible for
these funds, City staff had to complete the necessary paperwork requirements of the grant before the
release of these funds could occur. All required paperwork has been submitted to our state grant
manager.
Summary: Through a State Commerce grant and the City’s Lodging Tax Capital funds, the City has
acquired enough funding to replace the 30+ year old scoreboard at Civic Field with a state-of-the-art
videoboard as part of Capital Facilities Plan project PK-0418. Tonight, with Council approval, the City
will be issuing a Sourcewell contract with Nevco Sports, LLC. who will not only be supplying the

Subject: Council Motion on Public School Building Permit Fee Waivers
Background / Analysis: During the October 15, 2024, Council meeting, it was moved by
Councilmember Schromen-Wawrin and seconded by Councilmember Suggs to: “Direct City staff to
investigate, and bring back to City Council, policy options for waiving permit fees on public school building
construction and improvements.” After a roll call vote, the motion carried 6-1 with Councilmember Meyer
opposed.
City staff from the Legal, Finance and Community and Economic Development (CED) departments have
researched this issue. Based on the legal and financial concerns detailed below, City staff do not recommend
pursuing this matter any further.
Legal Department
Apart from the constitutional prohibition of gifting public funds, there is also a state statute that limits the
ability of a municipality to waive fees. It is the "local government accountancy act," RCW 43.09.210, and
it reads in part:
All service rendered by, or property transferred from, one department, public improvement,
undertaking, institution, or public service industry to another, shall be paid for at its true and full
value by the department, public improvement, undertaking, institution, or public service industry
receiving the same, and no department, public improvement, undertaking, institution, or public
service industry shall benefit in any financial manner whatever by an appropriation or fund made
for the support of another.
Summary: During the October 15, 2024, Council meeting, a motion was passed to “Direct City staff to
investigate, and bring back to City Council, policy options for waiving permit fees on public school building
construction and improvements.”
Funding: If public school building permit fee waivers were legal, the financial impact to the City could
be in excess of $500,000, which would need to be replaced by other general fund sources.
Recommendation: After researching this issue, City staff do not recommend pursuing this matter any
further due to legal and financial concerns.

The Legal Department believes this statute applies to intra-agency permits (e.g., public works department
seeking a shoreline permit from planning department), as well as inter-agency permits (e.g., hospital district
applying for building permit); and it clearly prohibits the waiver of fees as has been proposed. This legal
opinion is consistent with the guidance of the Municipal Research and Services Center (MRSC), which has
consistently advised that agencies cannot waive permit fees for other public agencies or entities (except for
low-income housing, as provided in RCW 35.21.685).
One idea put forward to achieve the same result was to revise the City’s fee schedule to reduce fees on
public buildings. While at first impression, this would seem to be a path to reach the same end, this ignores
the requirements in state law that fees must be uniform and must be calculated to cover the City’s costs of
issuing the permits. In the case of large public buildings, such as schools and hospitals, the process of
permit review is detailed and intricate and the costs of permit review are quite high.
Finance and CED
Based upon early estimates, a fee waiver for public school buildings in 2025 could be in excess of $500,000.
Since the 2025 Budget is now balanced, a reduction in fees would need to be offset by other general fund
sources. This would be problematic as the Council mandated reserves are now at their minimum thresholds.
Funding Overview: If public school building permit fee waivers were legal, the financial impact to the
City could be in excess of $500,000, which would need to be replaced by other general fund sources.
