Date: May 20, 2025
To: City Council
From: Scott Curtin, Director of Public Works & Utilities
Subject: CON-2025-02 Airport Electrical Conduit Boring, Change Order No. 1
Strategic Plan:
The 2025-2026 Strategic Plan (Resolution 10-24) was approved by the City Council on October 1, 2024.
This project directly aligns with the Strategic Focus Area #4 – Infrastructure Development, Maintenance,
and Connectivity. Additionally, this change order furthers the goals of the City through the Capital
Facilities Plan under project CL0824.
Background / Analysis:
The original contract awarded by City Council on April 15, 2025, in the amount of $85,704.30 was to
replace approximately 1,100 linear feet of direct buried electrical underground distribution line that has
experienced multiple failures underneath the airport hangar tarmac for Capital Project CL0724. The
additional 1,100 feet outside of the tarmac, which also requires replacement, was designed to be open
trenched as part of the larger CL0824 project.
Directional boring is the preferred method of installation where there are established main roads and
heavily trafficked areas, or other environmental and/or duration considerations where open trenches
would have a negative impact socially or financially.
In the case of open trench versus directional boring for the CL0824 work, it was initially thought that the
cost savings of an open trench would outweigh the additional duration, resource costs, and land
disturbance compared to directional boring. An engineer's estimate for directional boring was over
$150,000, while the estimate for open trenching was $80,000. When the bids came in for directional
boring in the tarmac area for CL0724, the cost of directional boring was much closer to the estimated cost
of open trenching the open field portion of CL0824.
Summary: Staff is seeking City Council approval to award a Change Order to Magnum Power, LLC of
Toledo, WA in the amount of $85,050.90, including applicable taxes, to add an additional 1,100 feet of
directional boring to the Airport Electrical Conduit Boring Project CON-2025-02 at Fairchild Airport.
Strategic Plan: This proposal directly aligns with the Strategic Focus Area #4 – Infrastructure
Development, Maintenance, and Connectivity.
Funding: Funding for this change order is available in the approved 2025-2030 Capital Facilities Plan in
the 2025 Capital Fund Project East Airport Cable Replacement – CL0824, in the amount of $200,000.
Recommendation: 1) Award a Change Order on Airport Electrical Conduit Boring, CON-2025-02, to
Magnum Power, LLC of Toledo, WA in the amount of $85,050.90, including applicable taxes and 2)
authorize the City Manager to sign all contract-related documents, to administer the contract, and to make
minor modifications if necessary.
May 20, 2025 E - 20
Four bids were received for the original directional boring job. The contract was awarded to the low
bidder. The next lowest bid was almost $60,000 higher than the awarded bid.
The City and low-bid contractor Magnum Power have negotiated to add the additional eastbound boring
via a change order to the original contract at a similar linear foot pricing.
Funding Overview: Funding is available in the approved 2025-2030 Capital Facilities Plan in the 2025
Capital Fund Project East Airport Cable Replacement – CL0824, in the amount of $200,000.

Gregg King, Power Resource Manager
Subject: Bonneville Power Administration 2028 Power Contract Update and Letter Authorization
Relationship to Strategic Plan:
The 2025-2026 Strategic Plan (Resolution 10-24) was approved by the City Council on October 1, 2024.
This proposal directly aligns with Strategic Focus Area #4 – Infrastructure Development, Maintenance,
and Connectivity.
Background / Analysis:
In November 2008, the City of Port Angeles entered a twenty-year wholesale power contract with the
Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), coinciding with the majority of the Northwest public electric
utilities. The City, a full-requirements customer, determined this contract was beneficial as the BPA is a
one-stop electric power and transmission provider at a reasonable price point. BPA provides low-cost,
carbon-free hydro and nuclear power, auxiliary and electric services, and offers administrative and
legislative support. As a quasi-federal agency, BPA’s power prices do not contain a profit margin, which
results in lower prices.
The BPA contract process was reviewed, and the Utility Advisory Committee approved a
recommendation on Tuesday, May 13th to have the City request a new “Load Following Provider of
Choice” contract as soon as possible.
Funding Overview:
A new wholesale power contract with be incorporated into future cost-of-service studies.
Attachment:
Draft Letter to Bonneville Power Administration
Summary: The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) has been holding a series of workshops and
listening sessions to determine how to structure the wholesale power contracts for the next contract
period beginning October 1, 2028, in the Fiscal Year 2028. The end of the current BPA power contract is
October 2027. BPA’s goal is to have executed contracts by the end of the calendar year 2025.
Strategic Plan: This proposal directly aligns with Strategic Focus Area #4 – Infrastructure
Development, Maintenance, and Connectivity.
Funding: A new wholesale power contract will be incorporated into future cost-of-service studies.
Recommendation: Authorize the City Manager to send a letter requesting a “Load Following
Provider of Choice” contract from the Bonneville Power Administration as soon as possible.

From: Sarina Carrizosa, Finance Director
Subject: 2026-2027 Stormwater Cost of Service Analysis Update
Strategic Plan: The budget amendment generally aligns with Strategic Focus Area #2 – Citywide
Resource Optimization goal to maintain fiscal health.
Background / Analysis: In 2019, City Staff, the Utility Advisory Committee (UAC) and the City
Council conducted a thorough analysis of the cost-of-service analysis (COSA) for each utility. During this
discussion and methodology update, the COSAs were placed on two- or three-year cycles to stagger the
rate updates and review of each utility. In 2025, the Electric, Stormwater, Medic 1, Solid Waste
Collections and Transfer Station COSAs are scheduled for review to adopt rates for the 2026-2028 or
2026-2029 years.
Due to the number of COSAs that are scheduled to be updated and reviewed this year, Staff is
recommending the Stormwater rates be carried one more year into 2026 and that the COSA be updated to
move forward on a three-year cycle to prevent the review of more than four COSAs in one year. The
Stormwater rates would then be reviewed in 2026 for the 2027-2029 collection years. This also provides
affordability to rate payers as increases remained staggered. Additionally, the City is currently updating
GIS data that is utilized for the calculation of the Stormwater fee for each property. This recommendation
would also allow time to complete this task for more accurate data when billing. Carrying these rates for
one more year will not negatively impact the planned projects in the Capital Facilities Plan or the
Stormwater Budget.
At the May 13, 2025, meeting the Utility Advisory Committee provided a favorable recommendation to
postpone the Stormwater cost of service analysis (COSA) for one year and place the Stormwater COSA
on a three-year cycle.
Summary: Each year, City Staff update rates in utilities through a cost-of-service analysis (COSA) for
consideration of adoption by the Utility Advisory Committee (UAC) and City Council. In 2025, five
utilities are scheduled for a COSA review. City Staff are proposing delaying the Stormwater COSA for
one year and implementing a three-year cycle for the COSA updates in this utility.
Strategic Plan: The budget amendment generally aligns with Strategic Focus Area #2 – Citywide
Resource Optimization goal to maintain fiscal health.
Funding: The cost-of-service analysis sets the rates that generate revenue collection to meet budgeted
expenditures and fund debt requirements for each utility every year.
Recommendation: Staff requests that City Council postpone the Stormwater cost-of-service analysis
(COSA) for one year and place the Stormwater COSA on a three-year cycle.

Subject: 2025 Budget Amendment #1
Relationship to Strategic Plan:
Amending the budget aligns with Strategic Focus Area #2 - Citywide Resource Optimization goal to
maintain fiscal health by maintaining fund balance requirements and maximizing available resources to
sustainably balance the budget.
Background / Analysis:
The first amendment to the 2025 Budget will “clean up” a variety of changes to City revenues and
expenditures that occurred after the adoption of the Budget in December due to information being
unavailable for entry at the time. The majority of the changes included have previously been approved by
Council and are a result of items moving from 2024 to 2025. The specific proposed changes are shown in
detail on the following pages.
Since many of the individual actions in this amendment require funding to come from reserves (money
unspent at the end of the fiscal year automatically rolls into reserves/fund balance and must then be pulled
from reserves for use in later budgets), approval of the ordinance will require a super majority of the
entire Council, or five (5) affirmative votes.
Summary: The 2025 Budget is being amended for the first time to adjust a variety of funds to reflect
changes in revenues and expenditures that have occurred during the first few months of 2025, as well as
to carry budget allocations from 2024 into 2025 for grants and programs. This is the second reading and
adoption of the ordinance. Since the first reading, there have been no changes to the amendment.
As this budget amendment includes new 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.
Strategic Plan: The budget amendment generally aligns with Strategic Focus Area #2 – Citywide
Resource Optimization goal to maintain fiscal health.
Funding: Please see the detailed summary attached to this memo.
Recommendation: The requested action for this issue is as follows:
1. Conduct the second reading of the ordinance for the first amendment to the 2025 Budget; and
2. Adopt the Ordinance.

Following the Council’s decision to contract with Madrona Law Group (Madrona) in 2020 to revise and
improve the Port Angeles Municipal Code, Madrona and City staff have worked to produce a series of
revisions and updates that will make the municipal code more user friendly. The ordinance presented
tonight represents updates to portions of Title 2, the title of the municipal code that governs
Administration and Personnel. Last year, the Council and staff devoted substantial time to improvements
to the chapters in Title 2 that deal with boards, commissions, and committees. That work is now
complete, and this installment addresses the remaining portions of Title 2. This ordinance has been
reviewed by all City Departments that are affected by the changes.
Chapters in Title 2 that are addressed in this installment include:
- City Council
- Council Meetings
- Fire Department
- Hearing Examiner
Summary: The ordinance presented is the latest in a series of ordinances produced by Madrona Law
Group (Madrona). This is another installment in the continuing effort to review and revise the Port
Angeles Municipal Code. The ordinance presented tonight revises portions of Title 2: Administration and
Personnel. It has been reviewed by all City Departments that are affected by the changes.
Strategic Plan: This agreement generally aligns with Strategic Focus Area #1 – Community Resilience
goal to determine innovations to improve communication effectiveness.

intent of this chapter to place the obligation for complying with its requirements
upon the owner, occupier, tenant, manager, agent, or other person responsible for the
violation or condition of land and buildings situated within the City of Port Angeles

intended to impose any duty upon the City or any of its officers or employees that
would subject them to damages in a civil action.
2.90.020 Definitions.
As used in this chapter, the following terms have the meanings set forth in this section,
unless a different meaning is clearly indicated by the context. Undefined terms are
interpreted using their common usage meaning and to give this chapter its most
reasonable application.
"Civil violation" means any violation or noncompliance with a civil provision of the PAMC
not otherwise designated as an infraction, misdemeanor, or gross misdemeanor.
"Person responsible for the violation" or "person responsible" means any person(s) required
by the applicable regulation to comply therewith, or who commits any act or
omission that is a violation or causes or permits a violation to occur or remain upon
property in the City, and includes, but is not limited to, any owner(s), lessor(s),
manager(s), agent(s), or other person(s) entitled to control, use and/or occupy
property where a civil violation occurs.
"Repeat violation" means a violation of the same or similar PAMC provision in any location
by the same person for which: (1) voluntary compliance previously has been sought
within two years; or (2) a notice of violation has been issued within two years.
2.90.030 Enforcement, Authority, and administration.
A. The City Manager is authorized to administer and enforce this chapter. The City
Manager may delegate authority to the Police, Fire, Community Development,
Public Works, or other City departments to assist in enforcement and may also seek
assistance from outside agencies or private contractors, if necessary.
B. When the City Manager determines that any civil violation(s) of PAMC have
occurred or are occurring, the City Manager may take any one or more of the
following actions:
1. Investigate any property, structure, or use reasonably believed to be
noncompliant with the PAMC.
May 20, 2025 G - 38

2. Issue an oral warning.
3. Issue a warning letter.
4. Enter into voluntary compliance agreements with persons responsible for code
violations.
5. Issue notices of violation that require compliance and assess monetary
penalties for noncompliance.
6. Issue stop work, no occupancy, or other orders that require immediate action

9. Direct the City Attorney to initiate court actions necessary to abate violations
or to enforce any order issued by the City Manager.
C. The enforcement procedures in this chapter are not exclusive. The City Manager is
authorized to exercise any right, action, or remedy authorized by law or equity, or a
combination thereof, to enforce civil violations. Exercise of one procedure does not
prevent use of another procedure. Nothing in this chapter prohibits the City Manager
from immediately issuing a notice of violation, seeking judicial review, or taking
other enforcement action without first taking other remedial actions, when the
circumstances warrant more expeditious correction or when the person(s) responsible
is a repeat offender.
D. With the consent of the owner or occupier of a building or premises, or pursuant to a
lawfully issued court order, the City Manager is authorized to enter at reasonable
times any building or premises to perform any duties imposed by this chapter.
E. The City Manager is authorized to adopt all procedures, rules, and policies
reasonably necessary to fully implement this chapter.
2.90.040 Service.

receipt requested, to such person at their last known address; or
3. Any means reasonably calculated to effect service.
B. In the case of stop work, no occupancy, or other orders that require immediate action
due to an imminent risk of injury or damage to persons or property, service will be
May 20, 2025 G - 39

effective upon posting a copy of the order on the subject property. A copy of the
document will be served pursuant to PAMC 2.90.040(A) as soon as reasonably
practicable.

County and if an address for mailed service cannot be ascertained, notice must be
served by posting a copy of the document conspicuously on the affected property or
structure.
D. Proof of service must be made by a written declaration under penalty of perjury
executed by the person effecting the service, declaring the time and date of service,
the manner the service was made and, if by posting, the facts showing the attempts to
serve the person personally or by mail. If service is done by mail, service is deemed
complete upon the third business day after depositing the notice into the mail.
E. In the case where the demolition of a structure is proposed as a means of abatement,
any lien holder whose lien interest is recorded in the official records of Clallam
County must be given notice of the enforcement action.
F. Each owner of the land on which the violation occurred or is occurring must be
served with the notice of violation.
2.90.050 Obligations of persons responsible for civil violations.
A. It is the duty of every person responsible for a civil violation to abate the violation
and to take all other actions necessary to achieve compliance with the PAMC.
B. Persons responsible for a civil violation pursuant to a notice of violation must pay all
monetary penalties and abatement costs. However, payment of monetary penalties,
applications for permits, acknowledgment of stop work orders, and compliance with
other remedies do not relieve the persons responsible of the duty to correct a
violation.
C. In addition to any penalty that may be imposed by the City, any person violating or
failing to comply with the PAMC is liable for all damage to public or private
property arising from such violation, including the cost of restoring the affected area
to its condition prior to the violation.
D. Responsibility for civil violations and the penalties imposed are joint and several,
and the City is not prohibited from taking action against a party where other persons
may also be potentially responsible for a violation, nor is the City required to take
action against all persons potentially responsible for a violation.

the person responsible; and
8. A statement that the City is not limited in the enforcement actions or
enforcement options available in the event the voluntary compliance
agreement is not fully performed.
C. If the terms of the voluntary compliance agreement are not satisfied, and an
extension of time has not been granted, the person responsible for the violation may,
without being issued a notice of violation, stop work order, or other order issued
pursuant to this chapter, be assessed a monetary penalty plus all costs incurred by the
City to pursue compliance. Penalties imposed when a voluntary compliance

2. Provide for the immediate closure of the property, building, or unit within a
building against its use for any purpose, and for keeping it closed for a period
of up to one year unless released sooner; and
3. State that while the order of abatement remains in effect, the property,
building, or unit(s) within a building will remain in the custody of the court.
2.90.180 Code compliance abatement fund—Authorized.
All monies collected from the assessment of monetary penalties and for abatement costs and
work will be allocated to support expenditures for abatement and be accounted for
through either creation of an account in the City's code compliance fund for such
abatement costs, or other appropriate accounting mechanism.
2.90.190 Appeals.
A. All contested matters arising under this chapter will be heard by the Hearing
Examiner, by the filing of an appeal.
B. Every person to whom a notice of violation, stop work order, or other order is issued
may contest the notice or order. Failure to appeal the notice or order waives the right
May 20, 2025 G - 46
35
to appeal and constitutes an admission that the facts, conclusions, and orders stated in
the notice or order are valid, true, and correct.
C. The fee for an appeal shall be as set forth in the City’s Fee Schedule. The appeal fee
may be refunded, either wholly or partially, only if the Hearing Examiner finds that
the notice or order was issued without reasonable cause.
D. Any appeal of a notice of violation, stop work order, or other order must be
submitted to the City Clerk, in writing, within 15 days of the date the notice or order
is served. Receipt of a complete appeal submittal will stay enforcement of a notice of

does not stay enforcement of a stop work order.
E. The appeal submittal must include:
1. The case number designated by the City;
2. The name and signature of each petitioner or their authorized representative, if
any. If multiple parties file a single appeal, the appeal must designate one
party as the contact representative; and
3. The specific decision being appealed, and the specific reasons why each
aspect is in error as a matter of fact or law.
F. The Hearing Examiner will conduct a hearing consistent with Chapter 2.18 PAMC
and will:
1. Prepare findings regarding whether a preponderance of evidence shows that
the violation occurred, and the required corrective action is reasonable;
2. Affirm, vacate, or modify the notice of violation or order; and
3. Affirm, vacate, or modify the assessment of monetary penalties, if applicable.
The Hearing Examiner may reduce monetary penalties based on the following
considerations:
a. Whether the violation was a first violation;
b. Whether the violator showed due diligence in correcting the violation;
c. Whether the penalty is more than necessary to:
i. Neutralize any profit enjoyed by the violator as a result of the
violation;
ii. Make the public whole for environmental or other damages
suffered as a result of the violation;
iii. Reimburse the City for the costs of enforcement; and
d. Other relevant factors.
May 20, 2025 G - 47

G. Any appeal of the Hearing Examiner's determination must be filed with superior
court and served within 21 days of issuance of the decision pursuant to Chapter
36.70C RCW.
2.90.200 Determination of compliance.
Persons responsible for a civil violation must notify the City Manager in writing of any
actions taken to achieve compliance with a warning, notice of violation, voluntary
compliance agreement, stop work order, or other order. For purposes of assessing
monetary penalties, a violation is considered ongoing until the person responsible for
a civil violation has come into compliance with the notice of violation, voluntary
compliance agreement, stop work order, or other order, and has provided sufficient
evidence of such compliance to the City Manager.
Upon confirmation that compliance has been achieved, the person responsible may request
the City Manager to issue a written determination of compliance stating that the
violations noted in the warning, voluntary compliance agreement, notice of violation,
stop work order, or other applicable order have been sufficiently abated. The City
will mail copies of the determination of compliance to each person responsible for
the violation.
2.90.210 Suspension, revocation, or limitation of permit.
A. The City Manager is authorized to suspend, revoke, or modify any permit issued by
the City whenever:
1. The permit holder has committed a violation in the course of performing
activities subject to that permit;
2. The permit holder has interfered with the authorized representatives of the
City in the performance of the authorized person's duties related to that
permit;
3. The permit was issued in error or on the basis of materially incorrect
information supplied to the City;
4. Permit fees or costs were paid to the City by check and returned from a
financial institution marked nonsufficient funds (NSF) or canceled; or
5. The permit or approval is subject to sensitive area review, and the applicant
has failed to disclose a change of circumstances on the development proposal
site which materially affects an applicant's ability to meet the permit or
approval conditions, or which makes inaccurate the sensitive area study that
was the basis for establishing permit or approval conditions.
B. Such suspension, revocation, or modification will be carried out through a notice of
violation and is effective upon the compliance date established by the notice of
May 20, 2025 G - 48
37
violation. Such suspension, revocation, or modification may be appealed to the
hearing examiner pursuant to PAMC 2.90.190.
2.90.220 Denial of permit.
The City Manager is authorized to deny a permit when the property for which the permit is
submitted is subject to any pending enforcement action or is in violation of any
ordinance, resolution, regulation, or public rule of the City that regulates or protects
the public health, safety, and welfare, or the use and development of land and water.
Such denial may continue until the violation is corrected, as deemed complete by the
City, and by payment of any monetary penalty imposed for the violation, except that
permits or approvals will be granted to the extent necessary to accomplish any
required corrective action.

Date: May 20, 2025
To: City Council
From: Nathan A. West City Manager
William E. Bloor, City Attorney
Subject: Western Port Angeles Harbor Cleanup Process – Consent Decree and Cost Sharing
Agreement
Summary: In 2013, the City entered into a Participation Agreement with other Potentially Liable Persons
(PLPs) to jointly share expenses for a remedial investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS) to determine the
scope and extent of contaminated sediments at the Western Port Angeles Harbor (WPAH) Site and options
for remediation. That work has been done, and in 2020 the scope of work was expanded to cover the
preparation of a draft Action Plan (CAP) for the Site.
Now, the CAP has been completed by the PLPs and revised by the Washington State Department of
Ecology. The PLPs have negotiated a Consent Decree (CD) with Ecology that governs the details of WPAH
site cleanup. The PLPs have also negotiated a Provisional Cost Sharing and Cooperation Agreement for
the Western Port Angeles Harbor (Agreement) to administer their rights and obligations under the CD,
including processes for funding and decision-making. The Agreement will replace the 2013 Participation
Agreement.
Strategic Plan: This agreement generally aligns with Strategic Focus Area #1 – Community Resilience
goal to improve community health and wellness and community resilience.
Funding: The Agreement requires the City, along with the other five parties, to pay equal shares (16.67%
each) of the costs of cleanup. This includes the expenses and fees of consultants and contractors to design
and construct the remedy at the WPAH Site, and oversight costs charged by Ecology. This share is
provisional and without prejudice to a reallocation of past and future remedial action costs. The City will
seek to obtain a reallocation of costs in accordance with its equitable share, either through future alternative
dispute resolution (ADR) or litigation. We anticipate that the expenses incurred under the Agreement will
be fully reimbursed by insurance, at least for the next several years, by which time the City intends to have
obtained a reallocation of costs. The amounts paid to outside attorneys will be partially reimbursed by
insurance, as has been true for the duration of the cleanup to date.
Recommendation: Authorize the City Manager to:
1.Approve non-substantive changes to the draft Consent Decree and then approve and execute on behalf
of the City a final Consent Decree, with substantially the same terms as presented; and
2. Approve, execute, and administer on behalf of the City the Provisional Cost Sharing and Cooperation
Agreement that will obligate the City, and other PLPs, to share equally the costs of implementing the
cleanup of the WPAH Site under the CD until an equitable reallocation is completed; and to make minor
modifications and amendments to the Agreement as needed over time.
May 20, 2025 I - 1

Strategic Plan: The 2025-2026 Strategic Plan (Resolution 10-24) was approved by the City Council on
October 1, 2024. This agreement directly aligns with the Strategic Focus Area #1 – Community
Resilience goal to improve community health and wellness and community resilience.
Background / Analysis: In 2012, Ecology informed the City that it is one of several Potentially Liable
Persons (PLPs) under the State’s Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA) for the Western Port Angeles Harbor
(WPAH) Site. Six PLPs have been engaged in the regulatory process to investigate and develop a suitable
remedial plan for the WPAH Site. They have shared in the costs of that work. In 2013, the City and other
entities named as PLPs entered into a Participation Agreement. Among other things, the Participation
Agreement (and associated agreements) provided that the participating entities would combine their
resources to prepare the remedial investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS) required under an Agreed Order
with Ecology. Under those prior agreements, four of the parties—the City, the Port of Port Angeles,
Georgia-Pacific LLC, and Owens Corning—have been paying a 20% share, with Nippon Paper Industries
USA Co., Ltd. and Merrill & Ring, Inc. sharing the remaining 20% share. In 2020, those agreements were
extended to cover the preparation of the draft action plan (CAP).
Under MTCA, the next step is for PLPs to enter into a Consent Decree (CD) with the Washington State
Department of Ecology, which will obligate the PLPs to fund and perform the remedial design and cleanup
work for the WPAH Site. The CD version that is attached to this memo contains all the substantive terms
that have been accepted by the parties. Some minor changes have been recommended that do not change
the nature or scope of the obligations set out in the CD.
To enable the parties to cooperate in implementing the cleanup under the CD, they also need to enter into
an agreement that defines their respective rights and obligations. To that end, the six PLPs have negotiated
a new cost-sharing agreement (the Provisional Cost Sharing and Cooperation Agreement for the Western
Port Angeles Harbor, referred to below as the Agreement).
Key Agreement Terms: The Agreement will define how the work parties manage the cleanup, share
responsibilities, and split costs.
Under the Agreement, each of the six parties will pay an equal (1/6) share of the costs incurred under the
CD. As with past costs incurred for the RI/FS and draft CAP, costs incurred under the CD will be subject
to reallocation. The City intends to seek a reallocation of costs through ADR or litigation. The Agreement
does not have a ‘standstill’ provision, so parties may initiate a contribution action at any time. The
contribution protection normally provided by the CD has also been modified to allow this.
The City will have an equal say in decision-making, which will generally be carried out by majority vote
under the Agreement.
Summary of Anticipated Schedule:
•August 2025 – August 2026: Remedial Design Work Plan (12 months)
•August 2026 – April 2027: Implementation of Remedial Design Work Plan (9 months total; 7
working months 2 non-working months outside of the work-window)
•April 2027 - November 2027: SMA 2 Pre-Remedial Design Evaluation Memo (8 months)
•November 2027 – June 2029: Engineering Design and Plans and Specifications (20 months)
•June 2029 – November 2029: Pre-construction (6 months)
•November 2029: Construction Begins
May 20, 2025 I - 2

Costs: Remedial Design, Permitting, and Support costs: THIS IS AN ESTIMATE OF COSTS.
This does not include the costs of actual construction. This is the 1\6 share to be paid by each PLP.
One sixth of the total Design, Permitting, and Construction Support cost equates to $19,268/month (2024
dollars, assuming an inflation factor of 20.0 percent) over 45 months. These expenditures will likely begin
in the summer of 2025.
Assessment: The City Attorney and outside counsel recommend approval and authorization to sign the CD
and the Agreement. The Agreement is necessary to govern the relationships among PLPs in carrying out
the CD, including how funding will be provided, consultants will be selected, decisions will be made, and
the cleanup will be managed. It will reduce uncertainty and disputes over the cleanup, and it will gain full
participation from the six PLPs. Although the Agreement represents a temporary compromise on the City’s
share of costs, it does not prejudice a reallocation of past and future costs.
Funding: The Agreement requires the City, along with the other five parties, to pay an equal share
(16.67%) of the expenses and fees of consultants and contractors to design and construct the remedy at the
WPAH Site. This share is provisional and without prejudice to a reallocation of past and future remedial
action costs. The City will seek to obtain a reallocation of costs, either through future ADR or litigation.

additional investigation into the nature and extent of contamination in the Western Port
Angeles Study Area, submitted results to Ecology, and documented the results, inter alia,
in Western Port Angeles Harbor RI/FS Data Report for 2013 Field Program (February 5,
2014). The Western Port Angeles Harbor Sediment Cleanup Unit Remedial
Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) was completed in October 2020 and approved by
Ecology in November 2020. A detailed description of the history of the Western Port
Angeles Harbor Study Area, the nature of releases of hazardous substances to the Site,
and the fate and transport of those hazardous substances is presented in the RI/FS.
C. The Port of Port Angeles (Port) is a municipal corporation organized
since 1923 under the laws of the state of Washington. The Port owns properties known
as Terminals 1-7. The Port owns or formerly owned properties where Fibreboard
Corporation, Merrill & Ring Inc., and other persons and entities have operated facilities
and released hazardous substances to the Site. In addition, the Port owns and operates
the Boat Haven marina, where hazardous substances have also been identified. The Port
also leases or has leased and manages or has managed under a Port Management
Agreement, state-owned aquatic lands at the Site to facilitate Port operations.
D. Georgia-Pacific LLC (Georgia-Pacific) is the successor in interest to
entities, including Washington Pulp & Paper Corp. and Crown Zellerbach, that from
1920 through 1988 owned and operated the paper mill facility located at 1805 Marine
Drive (“Ediz Hook Mill”) and leased aquatic lands near Ediz Hook Mill to facilitate
operations. The Ediz Hook Mill property includes the lagoon that is connected to
Western Port Angeles Harbor by a channel. The northern part of Ediz Hook Mill
includes land leased by the mill operator from the City. The Ediz Hook Mill released
hazardous substances to the Site.
E. Nippon Paper Industries USA Co., Ltd. (Nippon) was the owner and
operator of the Ediz Hook Mill from 1988 to 2017 when the mill was sold to McKinley

Paper Company. The Ediz Hook Mill released hazardous substances to the Site. In
addition to owning and operating the Ediz Hook Mill, Nippon Paper Industries USA
Co., Ltd. leased state-owned aquatic lands at the Site to facilitate operations.
F. Merrill & Ring Inc. (Merrill & Ring) was the owner and operator of a
lumber mill facility located at 1608 Marine Drive near the base of Ediz Hook in Port
Angeles from approximately 1958 through 1988 on property leased from the Port of
Port Angeles. Merrill & Ring Inc. also owned and conducted operations on the adjoining
property formerly owned by Fibreboard from 1972 through 1988. The Merrill & Ring
Inc. facilities released hazardous substances to the Site. In addition, Merrill & Ring Inc.
leased state-owned aquatic lands at the Site to facilitate operations.
G. The City of Port Angeles (City) at various times has operated a total of
eleven combined sewer overflow (CSO) discharge points that discharged untreated
sewage and stormwater directly into Port Angeles Harbor during periods of heavy
rainfall. In addition, the City operates stormwater sewer outfalls (SSO) for its municipal
separate storm sewer system. Some of the SSOs discharge directly to the Site, and others
discharge to creeks that then discharge to the Site. The CSOs and SSOs released
hazardous substances to the Site.
H. Owens Corning is the corporate successor to Fibreboard Corporation,
the owner and operator of a paperboard plant located at or near 1313 Marine Drive (“the
Fibreboard Mill”), which operated originally as the Crescent Boxboard Company and
later became known as the Fibreboard Mill. The Fibreboard Mill operated from 1919
through 1970. The Fibreboard Mill released hazardous substances to the Site. In
addition to operating the Fibreboard Mill, Fibreboard Corporation leased state-owned
aquatic lands at the Site to facilitate operations.
I. In February 1999, Ecology issued the Port Angeles Harbor Wood Waste
Study – Final (SAIC 1999). Wood debris identified in Port Angeles Harbor includes

logs, large wood pieces, small wood pieces or chips, very fine wood particles and/or
fibers, and pulp-like material. Historically, various mills and timber-related industries
have operated along the shoreline of Port Angeles Harbor. These facilities have at one
time or another transported and stored logs, wood chips, and sawdust in nearshore areas
or on barges in the harbor. Releases of wood debris occurred during these operations.
The western portion of Port Angeles Harbor was historically utilized for extensive log
rafting by a variety of entities, resulting in the release of wood debris in the rafting areas.
Additionally, releases of wood debris resulted from the operation of log dumps by a
variety of entities. Wood debris, in the form of very fine wood particles and/or fibers,
was released to the harbor in the process effluent from mills, including the Crown
Zellerbach and Fibreboard mills, resulting in wood debris layers at the Site.
J. The Western Port Angeles Harbor Group (WPAH Group), which is
composed of the City, Georgia-Pacific, Merrill & Ring, Nippon, Owens Corning, and
the Port, performed the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) and prepared
the Preliminary Draft Cleanup Action Plan for the Site in accordance with Agreed Order
No. DE 9781.
K. The investigative reports associated with the RI/FS listed in Section V.B
identified areas of marine surface and subsurface sediment that exceed applicable state
criteria for protection of the environment and preliminary levels estimated to be
protective of human health on lands: 1) owned by the PLPs or on which the PLPs
conducted operations, or 2) on which hazardous substances possessed or generated by
the PLPs have come to be located or were disposed. Based on the studies performed at
the Site to date, this Site poses a threat to human health and/or the environment.
L. As documented in the CAP (Exhibit C), Ecology has chosen a final
cleanup action to be implemented at the Site.

VI. WORK TO BE PERFORMED
1. This Decree contains a program designed to protect human health and the
environment from the known release, or threatened release, of hazardous substances or
contaminants at, on, or from the Site. All remedial actions conducted by Defendants at the Site
shall be done in accordance with WAC 173-340 and WAC 173-204.
2. The Defendants shall implement the CAP (Exhibit C) in accordance with the plan
and schedule identified in Section 5 of the CAP.
3. All plans or other deliverables submitted by Defendants for Ecology’s review and
approval under the CAP (Exhibit C) shall, upon Ecology’s approval, become integral and
enforceable parts of this Decree.
4. If Defendants learn of a significant change in conditions at the Site, including but
not limited to a statistically significant increase in contaminant and/or chemical concentrations
in sediments, Defendants, within seven (7) days of learning of the change in condition, shall
notify Ecology in writing of said change and provide Ecology with any reports or records
(including laboratory analyses and sampling results) relating to the change in conditions.
5. Pursuant to WAC 173-340-440(11), Defendants shall maintain sufficient and
adequate financial assurance mechanisms to cover all costs associated with the operation and
maintenance of the remedial action at the Site, including institutional controls, compliance
monitoring, and corrective measures.
A. Within sixty (60) days of the effective date of this Decree, Defendants
shall submit to Ecology for review and approval an estimate of the costs associated with
the operation and maintenance of the remedial action at the Site that they will incur in
carrying out the terms of this Decree. Within sixty (60) days after Ecology approves the
aforementioned cost estimate, Defendants shall provide proof of financial assurances
sufficient to cover those costs in a form acceptable to Ecology.

B. Defendants shall adjust the financial assurance coverage and provide
Ecology’s project coordinator with documentation of the updated financial assurance for:
i. Inflation, annually, within thirty (30) days of the anniversary date
of the entry of this Decree; or if applicable, the modified anniversary date
established in accordance with this section, or if applicable, ninety (90) days after
the close of Defendant’s fiscal year if the financial test or corporate guarantee is
used.
ii. Changes in cost estimates, within thirty (30) days of issuance of
Ecology’s approval of a modification or revision to the CAP that results in
increases to the cost or expected duration of remedial actions. Any adjustments
for inflation since the most recent preceding anniversary date shall be made
concurrent with adjustments for changes in cost estimates. The issuance of
Ecology’s approval of a revised or modified CAP will revise the anniversary date
established under this section to become the date of issuance of such revised or
modified CAP.
6. As detailed in the CAP, institutional controls are required at the Site. For lands
other than state-owned aquatic lands on which the landowner agrees or is required to record a
covenant, Environmental (Restrictive) Covenants will be used to implement the institutional
controls. For other property within the Site, such as state-owned aquatic lands that meet the
criteria of WAC 173-340-440(8)(b) or (c), Ecology may approve the use of an administrative
mechanism other than an Environmental (Restrictive) Covenant to implement institutional
controls on the property.
A. In consultation with Defendants, Ecology will prepare the Environmental
(Restrictive) Covenants consistent with WAC 173-340-440, RCW 64.70, and any
policies or procedures specified by Ecology. The Environmental (Restrictive) Covenants
shall restrict future activities and uses of the Site as agreed to by Ecology and Defendants.

an Environmental (Restrictive) Covenant shall record such Environmental (Restrictive)
Covenant for affected properties it owns with the office of the Clallam County Auditor
as detailed in the CAP (Exhibit C). Each Defendant that records an Environmental
(Restrictive) Covenant shall provide Ecology with the original recorded Environmental
(Restrictive) Covenant within thirty (30) days of the recording date.
C. If institutional controls apply to properties not owned by one or more
Defendants, and if the institutional control selected for such property is an Environmental
(Restrictive) Covenant, the Defendants will make a good faith effort to secure an
Ecology-approved Environmental (Restrictive) Covenant as detailed in the CAP (Exhibit
C) from the owner of each affected property. Upon a showing that Defendants have made
a good faith effort to secure an Environmental (Restrictive) Covenant for an affected
property and failed to do so, Ecology may provide assistance to Defendants. Defendants
shall provide Ecology with the original recorded Environmental (Restrictive) Covenant
within thirty (30) days of the recording date.

contracts with project contractors and subcontractors. Upon request of Ecology, Defendants shall
make all records available to Ecology and allow access for review within a reasonable time.
2. Nothing in this Decree is intended by Defendants to waive any right they may
have under applicable law to limit disclosure of documents protected by the attorney work-
product privilege, the attorney-client privilege, or the mediation privilege. If Defendants
withhold any requested records based on an assertion of privilege, Defendants shall provide
Ecology with a privilege log specifying the records withheld and the applicable privilege. No
Site-related data collected pursuant to this Decree shall be considered privileged.
XII. TRANSFER OF INTEREST IN PROPERTY
1. No voluntary conveyance or relinquishment of title, easement, leasehold, or other
interest in any portion of the Site shall be consummated by the Defendant that holds such interest
without provision for continued operation and maintenance of any containment system,
treatment system, and/or monitoring system installed or implemented on such portion of the Site
pursuant to this Decree.
2. Prior to a Defendant’s transfer of any interest in all or any portion of the Site, and
during the effective period of this Decree, the Defendant preparing to complete the transfer shall
provide a copy of this Decree to any prospective purchaser, lessee, transferee, assignee, or other
successor in said interest; and, at least thirty (30) days prior to any transfer, the Defendant
preparing to complete the transfer shall notify Ecology of said transfer. Upon its transfer of any
interest described above, the Defendant conducting the transfer shall notify all transferees of the
restrictions on the activities and uses of the property under this Decree and incorporate any such
use restrictions into the transfer documents.
XIII. RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES
1. In the event that Defendants elect to invoke dispute resolution, Defendants must
utilize the procedure set forth below.

A. Upon the triggering event (receipt of Ecology’s project coordinator’s
written decision or an itemized billing statement), Defendants have fourteen (14)
calendar days within which to notify Ecology’s project coordinator in writing of the
dispute (Informal Dispute Notice).
B. The Parties’ project coordinators shall then confer in an effort to resolve
the dispute informally. The parties shall informally confer for up to fourteen (14)
calendar days from receipt of the Informal Dispute Notice. If the project coordinators
cannot resolve the dispute within those 14 calendar days, then within seven (7) calendar
days Ecology’s project coordinator shall issue a written decision (Informal Dispute
Decision) stating: the nature of the dispute; the Defendants’ position with regards to the
dispute; Ecology’s position with regards to the dispute; and the extent of resolution
reached by informal discussion.
C. Defendants may then request regional management review of the dispute.
This request (Formal Dispute Notice) must be submitted in writing to the Southwest
Region Toxics Cleanup Section Manager within seven (7) calendar days of receipt of
Ecology’s Informal Dispute Decision. The Formal Dispute Notice shall include a written
statement of dispute setting forth: the nature of the dispute; the disputing Party’s position
with respect to the dispute; and the information relied upon to support its position.
D. The Section Manager shall conduct a review of the dispute and shall issue
a written decision regarding the dispute (Decision on Dispute) within thirty (30) calendar
days of receipt of the Formal Dispute Notice.
E. If Defendants find Ecology’s Regional Section Manager’s decision
unacceptable, Defendants may then request final management review of the decision.
This request (Final Review Request) shall be submitted in writing to the Toxics Cleanup
Program Manager within seven (7) calendar days of Defendants’ receipt of the Decision
on Dispute. The Final Review Request shall include a written statement of dispute setting

and the information relied upon to support its position.
F. Ecology’s Toxics Cleanup Program Manager shall conduct a review of
the dispute and shall issue a written decision regarding the dispute (Final Decision on
Dispute) within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of the Final Review Request. The
Toxics Cleanup Program Manager’s decision shall be Ecology’s final decision on the
disputed matter.
2. If Ecology’s Final Decision on Dispute is unacceptable to Defendants,
Defendants have the right to submit the dispute to the Court for resolution. The Parties agree that
one judge should retain jurisdiction over this case and shall, as necessary, resolve any dispute
arising under this Decree. Under RCW 70A.305.070, Ecology’s investigative and remedial
decisions shall be upheld unless they are arbitrary and capricious.
3. The Parties agree to only utilize the dispute resolution process in good faith and
agree to expedite, to the extent possible, the dispute resolution process whenever it is used.
Where either party utilizes the dispute resolution process in bad faith or for purposes of delay,
the other party may seek sanctions.
4. Implementation of these dispute resolution procedures shall not provide a basis
for delay of any activities required in this Decree, unless Ecology agrees in writing to a schedule
extension or the Court so orders.
5. In case of a dispute, failure to either proceed with the work required by this
Decree or timely invoke dispute resolution may result in Ecology’s determination that
insufficient progress is being made in preparation of a deliverable and may result in Ecology
undertaking the work under Section XXII (Implementation of Remedial Action).
XIV. AMENDMENT OF DECREE
1. The Parties may agree to minor changes to the work to be performed without
formally amending this Decree. Minor changes will be documented in writing by Ecology.

2.Substantial changes to the work to be performed shall require formal amendment
of this Decree. This Decree may only be formally amended by a written stipulation among the
Parties that is entered by the Court, or by order of the Court. Ecology will provide its written
consent to a formal amendment only after public notice and opportunity to comment on the
formal amendment. Such amendment shall become effective upon entry by the Court.
Agreement to amend the Decree shall not be unreasonably withheld by any party.
3. When requesting a change to the Decree, Defendants shall submit a written
request to Ecology for approval. Ecology shall indicate its approval or disapproval in writing
and in a timely manner after the written request is received. If Ecology determines that the
change is substantial, then the Decree must be formally amended. Reasons for the disapproval
of a proposed change to this Decree shall be stated in writing. If Ecology does not agree to the
requested change, the disagreement may be addressed through the dispute resolution procedures
described in Section XIII (Resolution of Disputes).
XV. EXTENSION OF SCHEDULE
1. Defendants’ request for an extension of schedule shall be granted only when a
request for an extension is submitted in a timely fashion, generally at least thirty (30) days prior
to expiration of the deadline for which the extension is requested, and good cause exists for
granting the extension. All extensions shall be requested in writing. The request shall specify:
A. The deadline that is sought to be extended.
B. The length of the extension sought.
C. The reason(s) for the extension.
D. Any related deadline or schedule that would be affected if the extension

documents submitted by Defendants.
B. Acts of God, including fire, flood, blizzard, extreme temperatures, storm,
or other unavoidable casualty.
C. Endangerment as described in Section XVI (Endangerment).
3. However, neither increased costs of performance of the terms of this Decree nor
changed economic circumstances shall be considered circumstances beyond the reasonable
control of Defendants.
4. Ecology shall act upon any Defendant’s written request for extension in a timely
fashion. Ecology shall give Defendants written notification of any extensions granted pursuant
to this Decree. A requested extension shall not be effective until approved by Ecology or, if
required, by the Court. Unless the extension is a substantial change, it shall not be necessary to
amend this Decree pursuant to Section XIV (Amendment of Decree) when a schedule extension
is granted.
5. At Defendants’ request an extension shall only be granted for such period of time
as Ecology determines is reasonable under the circumstances. Ecology may grant schedule
extensions exceeding ninety (90) days only as a result of one of the following:
A. Delays in the issuance of a necessary permit which was applied for in a
timely manner.
B. Other circumstances deemed exceptional or extraordinary by Ecology.
C. Endangerment as described in Section XVI (Endangerment).

it deems necessary to abate the danger. Defendants shall immediately comply with such
direction.
2. In the event Defendants determine that any activity being performed at the Site
under this Decree is creating or has the potential to create a danger to human health or the
environment, Defendants may cease such activities. Defendants shall notify Ecology’s project
coordinator as soon as possible, but no later than twenty-four (24) hours after making such
determination or ceasing such activities. Upon Ecology’s direction, Defendants shall provide
Ecology with documentation of the basis for the determination or cessation of such activities. If
Ecology disagrees with Defendant’s cessation of activities, it may direct Defendants to resume
such activities.
3. If Ecology concurs with or orders a work stoppage pursuant to this section,
Defendants’ obligations with respect to the ceased activities shall be suspended until Ecology
determines the danger is abated, and the time for performance of such activities, as well as the
time for any other work dependent upon such activities, shall be extended, in accordance with
Section XV (Extension of Schedule), for such period of time as Ecology determines is reasonable
under the circumstances.
4. Nothing in this Decree shall limit the authority of Ecology, its employees, agents,
or contractors to take or require appropriate action in the event of an emergency.
XVII. COVENANT NOT TO SUE
1. Covenant Not to Sue: In consideration of Defendants’ compliance with the terms
and conditions of this Decree, Ecology covenants not to institute legal or administrative actions
against Defendants regarding the release or threatened release of hazardous substances at the
Site, the Western Port Angeles Harbor Study Area, or at the portion of the Rayonier Mill Study
Area below the mean higher high water mark, as shown in Exhibit B. This does not preclude
Ecology from instituting legal or administrative action against Defendants to require them to

perform remedial action to address hazardous substances releases that have come to be located
on adjoining upland areas, even if those releases were from the same processes or activities that
caused hazardous substances to be located within the Site as defined in this Decree. This
Covenant Not to Sue does not cover any other hazardous substances or area. Ecology retains all
of its authority relative to any hazardous substance(s) or area not covered by this Decree.
This Covenant Not to Sue shall have no applicability whatsoever to:
A. Criminal liability.
B. Liability for damages to natural resources.
C. Any Ecology action, including cost recovery, against PLPs not a party to
this Decree.
2. Pursuant to RCW 70A.305.040(4)(c), the Court shall amend this Covenant Not
to Sue if factors not known at the time of entry of this Decree are discovered and present a
previously unknown threat to human health or the environment.
3. Reopeners: Ecology specifically reserves the right to institute legal or
administrative action against Defendants to require them to perform additional remedial actions
at the Site and to pursue appropriate cost recovery, pursuant to RCW 70A.305.070, under any of
the following circumstances:
A. Upon Defendants’ failure to meet the requirements of this Decree.
B. Failure of the remedial action to meet the cleanup standards identified in
the CAP (Exhibit C).
C. Upon Ecology’s determination that remedial action beyond the terms of
this Decree is necessary to abate an imminent and substantial endangerment to human
health or the environment.
D. Upon the availability of information regarding factors previously
unknown to Ecology regarding the Site or the Western Port Angeles Harbor Study Area,
including the nature, quantity, migration, pathway, or mobility of hazardous substances,

and Ecology’s determination, in light of this information, that further remedial action is
necessary to protect human health or the environment at the Site or the Western Port
Angeles Harbor Study Area.
E. Upon the availability of information regarding factors previously
unknown to Ecology that one or more of the Defendants is responsible for releases of
hazardous substances at the portion of the Rayonier Mill Study Area below the mean
higher high water mark (e.g. discharges from outfalls, disposal of dredge material, etc.)
that present a previously unknown threat to human health or the environment at the
Rayonier Mill Study Area.
F. Upon Ecology’s determination that additional remedial actions are
necessary to achieve cleanup standards within the reasonable restoration time frame set
forth in the CAP.
4. Except in the case of an emergency, prior to instituting legal or administrative
action against Defendants pursuant to this section, Ecology shall provide Defendants with fifteen
(15) calendar days’ notice of such action.
XVIII. CONTRIBUTION PROTECTION
1. With regard to claims for contribution against Defendants, the Parties agree that
Defendants are entitled to protection against claims for contribution for matters addressed in this
Decree as provided by RCW 70A.305.040(4)(d); provided that the Defendants agree that they
will not assert the contribution protection provided for by this Paragraph XVIII, by
RCW 70A.305.040(4)(d), or by 42 U.S.C. 9613(f) as a defense to any contribution claims as
between each other. “Matters addressed” include all remedial actions undertaken at the Site,
including actions to characterize the contamination at the Site, the Western Port Angeles Harbor
Study Area or the portion of the Rayonier Mill Study Area below the mean higher high water
mark, or to enable the selection of a cleanup action, and all oversight costs paid to Ecology. The

each other shall not make Ecology a necessary party to any contribution action among the
Defendants. The enforceability of this Decree shall not be affected if the Defendants’ agreement
not to assert contribution protection against each other is determined to be unenforceable or
without effect.
2. Beyond the scope of this Decree and settlement of Plaintiff’s MTCA claims,
nothing in this Decree constitutes a waiver or a relinquishment of arguments by Owens Corning
relating to the discharge of claims under Section 1141 of the United States Bankruptcy Code
(11 U.S.C. §1141), including but not limited to, the Sixth Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization
for Owens Corning and its Affiliated Debtors and Debtors-in-Possession (the “Bankruptcy
Plan”) entered in Case No. 00-03837, United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware, and the Order confirming the Bankruptcy Plan. In any subsequent administrative or
judicial proceeding initiated by the Plaintiff for injunctive relief or other appropriate relief–other
than Settlement of Plaintiff’s MTCA claims in this Decree–Owens Corning expressly reserves
the right to seek a determination from the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware, or any other court of competent jurisdiction, that the Plaintiff’s claims were
discharged under the Bankruptcy Plan. Equally, the Plaintiff and other Defendants to this Decree
reserve all rights in any subsequent proceedings in any forum, including the right to contest any
of the above arguments.
XIX. INDEMNIFICATION
1. Each Defendant agrees to indemnify and save and hold the State of Washington,
its employees, and agents harmless from any and all claims or causes of action (1) for death or
injuries to persons, or (2) for loss or damage to property to the extent arising from or on account
of acts or omissions of Defendants, their officers, employees, agents, or contractors in entering
into and implementing this Decree. However, Defendants shall not indemnify the State of

the employees or agents of the State, in entering into or implementing this Decree.
XX. COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS
1. Applicable Law. All actions carried out by Defendants pursuant to this Decree
shall be done in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local requirements, including
requirements to obtain necessary permits, except as provided in RCW 70A.305.090. The permits
or specific federal, state, or local requirements that Ecology has determined are applicable and
that are known at the time of the execution of this Decree have been identified in Table 4.1 of
the CAP (Exhibit C). Defendants have a continuing obligation to identify additional applicable
federal, state, and local requirements which apply to actions carried out pursuant to this Decree,
and to comply with those requirements. As additional federal, state, and local requirements are
identified by Ecology or the Defendants, Ecology will document in writing if they are applicable
to actions carried out pursuant to this Decree, and the Defendants must implement those
requirements.
2. Relevant and Appropriate Requirements. All actions carried out by Defendants
pursuant to this Decree shall be done in accordance with state and federal requirements, or local
requirements, that Ecology determines are relevant and appropriate. The relevant and appropriate
requirements that Ecology has determined apply have been identified in Table 4.1 of the CAP
(Exhibit C). If additional relevant and appropriate requirements are identified by Ecology or the
Defendants, Ecology will document in writing if they are applicable to actions carried out
pursuant to this Decree and the Defendants must implement those requirements.
3. Pursuant to RCW 70A.305.090(1), Defendants may be exempt from the
procedural requirements of RCW 70A.15, 70A.205, 70A.300, 77.55, 90.48, and 90.58 and of
any laws requiring or authorizing local government permits or approvals. However, Defendants
shall comply with the substantive requirements of such permits or approvals. In instances where
the Defendants and Ecology agree it is more efficient to do so, the Defendants shall obtain the

necessary permit or approval from the agency that would otherwise have jurisdiction,
notwithstanding RCW 70A.305.090(1), and in such instances, shall submit to the issuing
agency’s enforcement of the terms of such permit or approval. The exempt permits or approvals
and the applicable substantive requirements of those permits or approvals, as they are known at
the time of the execution of this Decree, have been identified in Table 4.1 of the CAP (Exhibit C).
4. Defendants have a continuing obligation to determine whether additional permits
or approvals addressed in RCW 70A.305.090(1) would otherwise be required for the remedial
action under this Decree. In the event either Ecology or Defendants determine that additional
permits or approvals addressed in RCW 70A.305.090(1) would otherwise be required for the
remedial action under this Decree, it shall promptly notify the other party of its determination.
Ecology shall determine whether Ecology or Defendants shall be responsible to contact the
appropriate state and/or local agencies. If Ecology so requires, Defendants shall promptly consult
with the appropriate state and/or local agencies and provide Ecology with written documentation
from those agencies of the substantive requirements those agencies believe are applicable to the
remedial action. Ecology shall make the final determination on the additional substantive
requirements that must be met by Defendants and on how Defendants must meet those
requirements. Ecology shall inform Defendants in writing of these requirements. Once
established by Ecology, the additional requirements shall be enforceable requirements of this
Decree. Defendants shall not begin or continue the remedial action potentially subject to the
additional requirements until Ecology makes its final determination.
5. Pursuant to RCW 70A.305.090(2), in the event Ecology determines that the
exemption from complying with the procedural requirements of the laws referenced in
RCW 70A.305.090(1) would result in the loss of approval from a federal agency that is necessary
for the state to administer any federal law, the exemption shall not apply and Defendants shall
comply with both the procedural and substantive requirements of the laws referenced in
RCW 70A.305.090(1), including any requirements to obtain permits or approvals.

XXI. REMEDIAL ACTION COSTS
1. Defendants shall pay to Ecology costs incurred by Ecology pursuant to this
Decree and consistent with WAC 173-340-550(2). These costs shall include work performed by
Ecology or its contractors for, or on, the Site under RCW 70A.305, including remedial actions
and Decree preparation, negotiation, oversight, and administration. These costs shall include
work performed both prior to and subsequent to the entry of this Decree. Ecology’s costs shall
include costs of direct activities and support costs of direct activities as defined in
WAC 173-340-550(2). For all costs incurred, Defendants shall pay the required amount within
thirty (30) days of receiving from Ecology an itemized statement of costs that includes a
summary of costs incurred, an identification of involved staff, and the amount of time spent by
involved staff members on the project. A general statement of work performed will be provided
upon request. Itemized statements shall be prepared quarterly. Pursuant to WAC 173-340-
550(4), failure to pay Ecology’s costs within ninety (90) days of receipt of the itemized statement
of costs will result in interest charges at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, compounded
monthly.
2. In addition to other available relief, pursuant to RCW 19.16.500, Ecology may
utilize a collection agency and/or, pursuant to RCW 70A.305.060, file a lien against real property
subject to the remedial actions to recover unreimbursed remedial action costs.
XXII. IMPLEMENTATION OF REMEDIAL ACTION
1. If Ecology determines that the Defendants have failed to make sufficient progress
or failed to implement the remedial action, in whole or in part, Ecology may, after notice to
Defendants, perform any or all portions of the remedial action or at Ecology’s discretion allow
the Defendants an opportunity to correct. In an emergency, Ecology is not required to provide
notice to Defendants, or an opportunity for dispute resolution. The Defendants shall

reimburse Ecology for the costs of doing such work in accordance with Section XXI
(Remedial Action Costs).
2. Except where necessary to abate an emergency situation or where required by
law, the Defendants shall not perform any remedial actions at the Site outside those remedial
actions required by this Decree to address the contamination that is the subject of this Decree,
unless Ecology concurs, in writing, with such additional remedial actions pursuant to
Section XIV (Amendment of Decree). In the event of an emergency, or where actions are taken
as required by law, Defendants must notify Ecology in writing of the event and remedial actions
planned or taken as soon as practical but no later than within twenty-four (24) hours of the
discovery of the event.
XXIII. PERIODIC REVIEW
1. So long as remedial action continues at the Site, the Parties agree to review the
progress of remedial action at the Site, and to review the data accumulated as a result of
monitoring the Site as often as is necessary and appropriate under the circumstances. Unless
otherwise agreed to by Ecology, at least every five (5) years after the initiation of cleanup action
at the Site the Parties shall confer regarding the status of the Site and the need, if any, for further
remedial action at the Site. At least ninety (90) days prior to each periodic review, Defendants
shall submit a report to Ecology that documents whether human health and the environment are
being protected based on the factors set forth in WAC 173-340-420(4). Under Section XVII
(Covenant Not to Sue), Ecology reserves the right to require further remedial action at the Site
under circumstances therein identified, and the Defendants reserve all defenses. This provision
shall remain in effect for the duration of this Decree.

1. Ecology shall maintain the responsibility for public participation at the Site.
However, Defendants shall cooperate with Ecology, and shall:
A. If agreed to by Ecology, develop appropriate mailing lists, prepare drafts
of public notices and fact sheets at important stages of the remedial action, such as the
submission of work plans and engineering design reports. As appropriate, Ecology will
edit, finalize, and distribute such fact sheets and prepare and distribute public notices of
Ecology’s presentations and meetings.
B. Notify Ecology’s project coordinator prior to the preparation of all press
releases and fact sheets, and before meetings at which remedial action work to be
performed at the Site is expected to be discussed with the interested public and/or local
governments. Likewise, Ecology shall notify Defendants prior to the issuance of all press
releases and fact sheets related to remedial action work to be performed at the Site, and
before meetings related to remedial action work to be performed at the Site with the
interested public and/or local governments. For all press releases, fact sheets, meetings,
and other outreach efforts by Defendants that do not receive prior Ecology approval,
Defendants shall clearly indicate to their audience that the press release, fact sheet,
meeting, or other outreach effort was not sponsored or endorsed by Ecology.
C. When requested by Ecology, participate in public presentations on the
progress of the remedial action at the Site. Participation may be through attendance at
public meetings to assist in answering questions, or as a presenter.

continued until Defendants have received written notification from Ecology that the
requirements of this Decree have been satisfactorily completed. This Decree shall remain in
effect until dismissed by the Court. When dismissed, Section XI (Retention of Records),
Section XVII (Covenant Not to Sue), and Section XVIII (Contribution Protection) shall survive.
XXVI. CLAIMS AGAINST THE STATE
1. Defendants hereby agree that they will not seek to recover any costs incurred in
implementing the remedial action required by this Decree from the State of Washington or any
of its agencies; and further, that Defendants will make no claim against the State Toxics Control
Account, the Local Toxics Control Account, the Environmental Legacy Stewardship Account,
or a MTCA Cleanup Settlement Account for any costs incurred in implementing this Decree.

PROVISIONAL COST SHARING AND COOPERATION AGREEMENT FOR
THE WESTERN PORT ANGELES HARBOR
This Provisional Cost Sharing and Cooperation Agreement for the Western Port Angeles
Harbor (“Agreement”) is made and entered into by and among those parties whose authorized
representatives have executed this Agreement (collectively, the “Participants” and individually, a
“Participant”).
RECITALS
A. The Washington Department of Ecology (“Ecology”) identified the Participants as
potentially liable persons (“PLPs”) under the Washington Model Toxics Control Act, RCW Chapter
70A.305, as amended (“MTCA”), for contamination of marine sediments in the Western Port
Angeles Harbor, Facility Site ID # 18898, Cleanup Site ID # 11907. The Western Port Angeles
Harbor means the “Site” as defined in the Sediment Site Consent Decree.
B. The Agreement is intended to provide a funding, administrative, and decision-making
mechanism for the Participants to implement a Sediment Site Consent Decree with Ecology to
perform the Cleanup Action Plan (“CAP”) in Western Port Angeles Harbor and any other work
approved under this Agreement (collectively the “Work”).
C. The Participants have certain common interests relating to Western Port Angeles
Harbor. The Participants recognize that their common interests will be best served at this time
through cooperation and agreement.
D. Without admitting any fact, responsibility, fault, or liability in connection with Port
Angeles Harbor, the Participants agree, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein,
to provide interim funding for and decision-making in furtherance of the Work.
E. Under prior agreements, the Participants jointly funded and implemented certain
activities for the Western Port Angeles Harbor, including the preparation and submission of a
May 20, 2025 I - 38
Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study report (“RI/FS”) and draft Cleanup Action Plan
(“DCAP”). The Participants’ respective payments under those prior agreements were made on an
interim basis, subject to reallocation in a later proceeding. The Participants continue to reserve their
rights to seek a reallocation of costs incurred under this and prior agreements.

any actions, recommendations, or proposals. Membership on a Committee shall be voluntary and
without compensation. Committee meetings shall be open to all Participants. Any Participant shall
be entitled to have its Authorized Representative serve on any or all Committees formed under this
Agreement.
2.10 Group Consultants.
(a) The Sediment Site Consent Decree requires the Participants to undertake certain tasks
occurring prior to remedial construction, including but not limited to remedial design and permitting
(the “RD Work”). The Participants have identified the Group Consultant for the RD Work (the “RD
Group Consultant”) under the Interim Cooperation Agreement for Western Port Angeles Harbor
dated __________, 2025. Within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date of this Agreement the
Participants shall enter into an agreement with the identified RD Group Consultant consistent with
Section 2.10(c).
(b) The Participants shall follow the following process for selection of a remedial action
consultant (the “RA Group Consultant”) and intend that the same process will be followed for the
contractor selection (the “RA Contractor”) if legally permissible, to perform all tasks required by the
May 20, 2025 I - 44
Sediment Site Consent Decree occurring subsequent to the RD Work (the “RA Work”). The RA
Consultant and RA Contractor selection process shall commence no later than six (6) months prior
to the anticipated conclusion of the RD Work. The Participants shall approve a general description
of the role the RD Group Consultant will play in the RA Work upon the favorable vote of at least
two-thirds of the Voting Power. Following approval of the general description, the Participants shall
approve upon the favorable vote of at least two-thirds of the Voting Power Requests for
Qualifications for the RA Consultant and RA Contractor. Following approval of the RFQ, the RFQ
shall be promptly published in a local Port Angeles newspaper and the Seattle Daily Journal of
Commerce with a response deadline for candidate submissions within thirty (30) days of
publication. Within fifteen (15) days of the expiration of the RFQ submission deadline, the
Participants shall agree by unanimous consent on a short list of consultant and contractor candidates
(“Short List”). Within fifteen (15) days of the selection of the Short List, the Participants shall
conduct in-person or video interviews with the Short List candidates, and shall select the RA
Consultant and RA Contractor upon the favorable vote of at least two-thirds of the Voting Power
within fifteen (15) days of the final interview.
(c) Upon selection of any consultant under the provisions above, the Participants shall enter
into a Consulting Agreement with the consultant for performance of all contemplated work. Among
other terms necessary to effectuate the Work, the Consulting Agreement shall include those
provisions specified in Section 4.4 of this Agreement.
2.11 Conflicts of Interest. The Participants expressly waive any possible conflict of
interest that might have arisen or may arise in the course of implementing the Work by a Group
Consultant(s); and activity or conduct by a Group Consultant(s) as part of the Work shall not be the
basis to disqualify a Group Consultant(s) in a future matter unrelated to the subject matter of this
Agreement. Each time any new Participant joins the Participants Group after the Effective Date of
May 20, 2025 I - 45
this Agreement, the Participants shall provide the name of each new Participant to the Group
Consultant(s) and shall require the Group Consultant(s) to disclose promptly whether the consultant
and/or any employee of the consultant who is or may be assigned to perform any aspect of the Work
is performing or has performed services for such new Participant. However, any new Participant
that joins the Participants Group in accordance with Section 3.3 below cannot preclude the
continued use of Group Consultant(s) already retained.
3.0 MEMBERSHIP
3.1 Participants. Unless modified under Section 3.3, there shall be one class of
Participants under this Agreement, with each Participant holding a single vote on all matters arising
under this Agreement.
3.2 Funding and Rights. Participants shall be responsible for providing funding
throughout the Work, as provided more specifically in Section 4 of this Agreement. Participants in
good standing shall have the right to vote on all actions and decisions requiring a vote for
implementation of this Agreement, including all decisions involving amendments to this Agreement.
3.3 New Participants. Any third party may join the group as a Participant after the
Effective Date upon (1) the favorable vote of all (100%) of the Voting Power admitting the third
party and establishing the third party’s funding and voting share, (2) payment of an amount
determined by favorable vote of all (100%) of the Voting Power including past costs and interest,
and (3) compliance with any other conditions established by the Participants. New Participants shall
also agree to and execute this Agreement, including any amendments thereto.
3.4 Default. In the event a Participant fails to make a contribution or payment by the due
date for that payment or breaches any other term or condition of this Agreement, any other
Participant may send written notice of such failure or breach demanding payment or cure. If the
Participant receiving such notice fails to pay all amounts due, including interest for late payment,
May 20, 2025 I - 46
within fifteen (15) days after receiving written notice of such Participant’s default, or fails to cure
within thirty (30) days any other breach of this Agreement, or breaches an incurable provision of
this Agreement, such Participant shall be deemed to be in default but shall remain subject to all of
the provisions of Section 5 relating to confidentiality, and shall remain liable to pay its share of
Group Remedial Costs approved and assessed pursuant to this Agreement. Any Participant deemed
to be in default shall not be considered in good standing for purposes of this Agreement. In the
event the defaulting Participant does not pay its share of Group Remedial Costs, the other
Participants shall consider paying for the defaulting Participant’s share on a per capita basis to the
extent necessary to fund the Work.
3.5 Removal. A Participant may be removed from the Participants Group upon the
favorable vote of at least two-thirds of the Voting Power. Such Participant shall be notified in
writing of its removal but shall remain subject to all of the provisions of Sections 5.4 and 5.6
relating to confidentiality, and shall remain liable to pay its share of Group Remedial Costs
approved and assessed pursuant to this Agreement prior to such removal. The other Participants
shall consider paying for the removed Participant’s share on a per capita basis to the extent
necessary to fund the Work.
3.6 Reinstatement. A Participant that is in default as provided in Section 3.4, has been
removed as provided in Paragraph 3.5, or has withdrawn from the Agreement as provided in
Paragraph 3.7 may rejoin the Participants Group upon the favorable vote of at least two-thirds of the
Voting Power and upon compliance with any conditions established by two-thirds of the Voting
Power of the Participants Group.
3.7 Withdrawal. A Participant may withdraw from this Agreement only upon unanimous
written consent of the other Participants. For instance, an individual Participant may withdraw from
the Agreement upon reaching agreement with the remaining Participants on a settlement that
May 20, 2025 I - 47
resolves the individual Participant’s final allocation of past and future costs at the Site. The
Participants agree to consider in good faith an individual Participant’s request to withdraw,
including any request for a final cash-out settlement.
4.0 COSTS
4.1 Funding Shares. The Participants shall pay equal, per capita percentage shares for all
Group Remedial Costs (“Funding Shares”). The Funding Shares herein are not precedential; are not
an admission; have no evidentiary effect with respect to the proper allocation of past or future costs
for Western Port Angeles Harbor; have no evidentiary effect with regard to any insurer’s
characterization of such costs as defense or indemnification costs; and, except as provided in Section
5.0 below, shall not be disclosed except as necessary to establish compliance with or enforcement of
the Agreement. The Funding Shares are subject to reallocation as contemplated in Section 11.
4.2 Assessments. Each Participant shall make an initial Group Remedial Cost
contribution of $50,000.00 within fourteen (14) days after the Effective Date of this Agreement.
Payments shall be made directly to the Group Account, held and administered by the Participants
Group Cashier authorized under Section 4.6 herein. The amount of scheduled future contributions
shall be based on approved Work Orders. Work Orders shall be approved by at least two-thirds of
Voting Power. The Group Consultant(s) shall periodically prepare proposed Work Orders with
budget estimates to implement the Work and shall distribute them to the Participants for review and
approval. The RD Group Consultant(s) shall also prepare for review and approval by the
Participants final engineering designs and work plans for remedial action. Any assessments against
Participants for Group Remedial Costs beyond those directly related to the Work can be approved
only by unanimous vote of the Participants. Once approved the subject of such assessments shall be
considered part of the Work. Each Participant shall be responsible for paying an equal share of the
May 20, 2025 I - 48
amount specified in the Work Orders approved by the Participants. Additional Group Remedial Cost
contributions shall be assessed and paid in accordance with Section 4.3 of this Agreement.
4.3 Payment of Group Remedial Costs. Each Participant shall pay its Funding Share for
any assessment to the Group Account within thirty (30) days after the date the assessment is
transmitted to the Participants by the Cashier pursuant to Section 4.6. Late payments shall accrue
interest at prime plus two (2) percent. Each assessment shall be issued in advance of the
performance of the portion of the Work that the assessment is expected to fund. If necessary to
perform the Work, the Participants shall consider reassessing and paying on a per capita basis any
amounts due from a Participant who is in default for such costs. Nothing herein shall preclude a
Participant from seeking reimbursement for these reassessed costs from the defaulting Participant.
Any remaining (unused) balance of amounts assessed for Group Remedial Costs shall be returned to
the Participants in proportion to their paid-in contributions. The Participants stipulate that the costs
for all Work are remedial action costs under MTCA and are response costs not inconsistent with the
National Contingency Plan under 42 U.S.C. §9601 et seq and its implementing regulations.
4.4 Accounting. The Consulting Agreement(s) shall require the Group Consultant(s) to
provide to the Participants written monthly invoices for the activities performed on Work under
Work Orders approved in accordance with Section 4.2 above. Within fourteen (14) days of receipt
of an invoice, each Participant shall send written notice to the Participant Group Cashier either (a)
approving payment of that invoice, or (b) providing specific objections to the invoice. Upon
unanimous consent by the Participants, the Participant Group Cashier shall pay all undisputed
portions of an invoice within the time specified in the Consulting Agreement. The Participants will
immediately work in good faith with the Group Consultant(s) to resolve any disputes over invoices,
including but not limited to use of any dispute resolution process set forth in the Consulting
Agreement. The Consulting Agreement shall further require that, upon termination of this
May 20, 2025 I - 49
Agreement, the Group Consultant(s) shall, upon request, provide to the Participants a final
accounting of monies received, spent, or obligated under this Agreement. The same notice and
payment procedures shall be used for the Work done by the RA Contractor; however, invoicing
requirements for the RA Contractor shall be dictated by the terms of the contract between the
Participants and the RA Contractor.
4.5 Purpose of Funds. All monies paid by the Participants pursuant to this Agreement
shall be used solely for the purposes of this Agreement and shall not be considered as payment for
any fines, penalties, or monetary sanctions. The Participants agree that the monies paid to any
Group Consultant(s) pursuant to this Agreement shall be viewed as necessary costs of remedial
action and response under applicable federal and state law.
4.6 Participant Group Cashier. The Port of Port Angeles shall serve as the Participant
Group Cashier (“Cashier”). The Cashier shall be responsible for (i) managing the Group Account
(which shall be held in an account established by the Cashier); (ii) sending out assessments to each
Participant for its Funding Share after the underlying Work Orders for such assessments are
approved; (iii) sending out a current ledger of the Group Account to each Participant prior to each
vote on further assessments of Group Remedial Costs; (iv) making deposits to the Group Account;
(v) signing checks for or otherwise authorizing the payment of approved Group Remedial Costs; (vi)
sending default notices to Participants for non-payment; and (vii) such other duties as the
Participants may delegate. The Cashier may be removed at any time by a vote of two-thirds of the
Voting Power. The Cashier may resign upon fourteen (14) days’ written notice to all other
Participants. Upon removal or resignation of the Cashier, the Participants may, by a vote of two-
thirds of the Voting Power, select a successor Cashier to perform the duties set forth herein.
4.7 Ecology Oversight Costs. Pursuant to Section XXI of the Sediment Site Consent
Decree, the Participants are required to reimburse Ecology for costs incurred by the agency
May 20, 2025 I - 50
associated with overseeing implementation of the Sediment Site Consent Decree. Ecology’s costs
shall be considered Group Remedial Costs under Section 4.1 above. Each Participant shall promptly
review each oversight cost invoice upon receipt of such invoice from Ecology. Within fourteen (14)
days of receipt of an Ecology invoice, the Participants shall either (a) approve the invoice by a
unanimous vote of the Participants, or (b) pursue further discussion with Ecology regarding the
invoice. Invoices modified through discussion with Ecology must be approved for payment by a
unanimous vote of the Participants. If additional discussions with Ecology fail to resolve the
Participants’ concerns with the invoice, the Participants may by unanimous consent pursue dispute
resolution with the agency pursuant to Section XIII of the Sediment Site Consent Decree. Upon
approval by all Participants, Cashier shall pay the invoice.
5.0 CONFIDENTIALITY AND USE OF INFORMATION
5.1. Common Interest. The Participants agree that they share a common interest in mutual
agreement and cooperation to implement the Work and in sharing certain information protected by
the attorney-client privilege and by the attorney work-product doctrine and/or common interest
privilege regarding the Western Port Angeles Harbor.
5.2. Common Interest Materials. From time to time, the Participants may disclose or
transmit to each other Common Interest Materials as they deem appropriate for coordinating
activities that may be necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. Participants shall not
disclose Common Interest Materials received from each other or obtained through their joint efforts,
or the contents thereof, to any non-Participant except as provided in Sections 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, or 5.7(d).
5.3. This Agreement is intended to memorialize the joint defense protection and other
privileges in claims or actions asserted against Participants by non-Participants. In response to
requests for Common Interest Materials from non-Participants, the Participants intend to invoke the
joint defense and common interest privileges with respect to the Common Interest Materials as
May 20, 2025 I - 51
broadly as is legally permissible and to maintain the confidentiality of the Common Interest
Materials to the fullest extent legally permitted against non-participants, even if the Participants later
become adverse to one another in litigation concerning Western Port Angeles Harbor or other
matters.
5.4. Use of Common Interest Materials. Common Interest Materials may be disclosed on
a need-to-know basis to the Authorized Representative designated by each Participant, counsel for
each Participant (including attorneys, paralegals, clerical or support staff), employees of each
Participant who provide expert advice or other assistance for the purpose of this Agreement, Group
Consultant(s), consultants independently retained by individual Participants, accountants, tax
professionals, and a Participant’s insurer(s). Common Interest Materials may be used by the
receiving Participant only in connection with the common interest in implementing the Work, or any
other matter authorized under this Agreement or for conducting such activities as may be necessary
to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. Except as provided in Section 5.5 below, Common
Interest Materials shall not be used for any other purpose (such as in the ordinary course of business,
for competitive purposes, or in litigation) without the prior written consent of the Participant that
produced or created the particular Common Interest Materials (the “Generating Participant”);
provided however, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit or restrict a Generating
Participant’s use or disclosure of its own Common Interest Materials.
5.5. Group Consultant(s). Common Interest Materials may be shown to or shared with
Group Consultants as necessary to allow the implementation of the Work and further the purposes of
this Agreement.
5.6. Confidentiality. The Participants agree that the Common Interest Materials may be
subject to the joint defense privilege, the common interest privilege, the attorney-client privilege, the
work product doctrine, and any other applicable privilege, doctrine or protection recognized by
May 20, 2025 I - 52
Washington or federal law and agree that no claim of attorney-client privilege, joint defense
privilege, work product immunity, deliberative privilege, or any other privilege or protection shall
be waived as a result of the exchange or transmittal of Common Interest Materials. Except as
provided in Section 5.7, the terms of this Agreement, the negotiation of this Agreement (including
drafts of the Agreement and term sheet), and all Common Interest Materials shall be held in strict
confidence by the receiving Participant (and by all persons to whom such Common Interest
Materials are revealed by the receiving Participant in accordance with Section 5.4), and shall not be
used by any Participant to assert a claim or demand against another Participant.
However, notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in the Agreement shall be construed to
prevent the Participants from disclosing in litigation or alternative dispute resolution processes
between one or more Participants those costs incurred in support of the Work, including consultant
invoices, cost documentation, the Participants’ Funding Shares under the Agreement, any
communications with any agencies including but not limited to Ecology regarding the Work
required under the Sediment Site Consent Decree, and any communications and/or documents
shared with the Group Consultant(s) regarding the Work. Further, nothing in this Agreement shall
be construed to protect documents from discovery in litigation between one or more Participants that
would otherwise be discoverable had they not been shared amongst the Participants.
5.7. Compelled Disclosure.
(a) A Participant may receive a request or demand for disclosure of any Common
Interest Materials pursuant to RCW 42.56, by subpoena, or otherwise (“Disclosure Demand”). If a
Participant receives a Disclosure Demand made under RCW 42.56, that Participant shall give
written notification to the Participant Group of such Disclosure Demand at least 14 days prior to any
disclosure. If the Participant receives a Disclosure Demand made under Chapter 42.56 RCW but
determines no disclosure shall be made in response to the demand, that Participant shall take
May 20, 2025 I - 53
reasonable measures to give written notification to the Participant Group of the denied Disclosure
Demand within 30 days of its determination. If a Participant receives a Disclosure Demand by
subpoena or otherwise, except under Chapter 42.56 RCW, that Participant shall provide written
notification to the Participant Group of such Disclosure Demand within two business days of
receiving the Disclosure Demand.
(b) Each Participant receiving a Disclosure Demand shall take all necessary and
appropriate steps to ensure that the requested or demanded information or materials is kept
confidential and not disclosed to any person not authorized by this Agreement to receive it,
including by objecting to the disclosure based on confidentiality and privilege (or, for public
disclosure requests, on any grounds that in the legal judgment of the Participant to whom the request
is directed are available under Chapter 42.56 RCW or other applicable law) and/or seeking an order
for protection from disclosure except as set forth in subparagraph (c) below. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Participant to whom a request for public disclosure
of Common Interest Materials is directed shall be required to object to the disclosure of such
Common Interest Materials unless, in the legal judgment of such Participant, grounds for objection
are available under Chapter 42.56 RCW or other applicable law.
(c) In addition to providing notice in accordance with Section 5.7(a) above, the
Participant subject to a Disclosure Demand shall notify the Generating Participant(s) at least
fourteen (14) days prior to any disclosure and shall inform the Generating Participant(s) of all
material information concerning such Disclosure Demand. If the Participant subject to a Disclosure
Demand determines, in its legal judgment, that grounds for objection are available under Chapter
42.56 RCW or other applicable law, and if the Generating Participant believes the requested
information is Common Interest Material and objects to production thereof, the Generating
Participant will join the Participant who received the Disclosure Demand in opposing the Disclosure
May 20, 2025 I - 54
Demand. “Opposing the Disclosure Demand” may constitute permitting the Generating Participant
a reasonable opportunity to intervene in any judicial proceeding relating to the disclosure of the
requested information, participation in the redaction of certain Common Interest Materials, or
allowing the Generating Participant to request any relief necessary to prohibit disclosure. If the
Participant receiving a Disclosure Demand determines, in its legal judgment, that grounds for
objection are not available under Chapter 42.56 RCW or other applicable law, it shall notify the
Generating Participant of such determination and the intended date of disclosure, and the Generating
Participant may seek a court order prohibiting disclosure of the requested documents.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the Generating Participant does not join
the Participant in objecting to disclosure and/or seeking an order for protection, the Participant
receiving the Disclosure Demand shall be under no obligation to object to production or seek an
order for protection.
(d) The Participant receiving the Disclosure Demand shall not disclose Common Interest
Material unless: (1) written agreement to waive the requirements of this Agreement is obtained from
each Generating Participant; (2) the Participant is ordered to disclose the information by a court with
competent jurisdiction; or (3) the Participant determines, in its legal judgment, that grounds for
objecting to disclosure are not available under Chapter 42.56 RCW or other applicable law, and the
Generating Participant does not obtain a court order prohibiting disclosure within the time allowed
by law for producing records pursuant to a public records request.
5.8. No Waiver. No Participant shall have authority to waive any applicable privilege or
immunity on behalf of any other Participant. Any disclosure or use of the Common Interest
Materials, whether inadvertent or intentional, by any Participant or former Participant, shall not
constitute a waiver of the terms of this Agreement as to the disclosed information or any other
information which is subject to this Agreement, and such disclosure or use shall not constitute a
May 20, 2025 I - 55
waiver of any applicable privilege and/or protection which may have attached to the disclosed
information prior to its disclosure, nor shall any Participant or former Participant so contend. The
disclosing Participant shall cooperate to restore the confidentiality, privilege, or immunity of any
disclosed Common Interest Material.
5.9. No Obligation to Share. Except as is necessary to perform the Work, the Participants
and their individual counsel, representatives, and independently retained consultants shall not be
required to share or exchange any information they may possess.
5.10. Common Legal Interest. The Participants agree that the matters undertaken pursuant
to this Agreement, including without limitation, the exchange of Common Interest Materials, are
being undertaken for purposes of defending MTCA and other claims concerning Western Port
Angeles Harbor and as a joint defense in anticipation of litigation which could be expected.
5.11. Survival of Section. The confidentiality obligations of the Participants under
Sections 5.4, 5.6, and 5.7 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, without regard to
whether a Participant is in default, whether this Agreement is terminated, whether a Participant
withdraws or is removed, or whether any action arising out of Western Port Angeles Harbor is
terminated by formal judgment or settlement.
6.0 DENIAL OF LIABILITY
6.1 Each Participant understands and agrees that, by entering into this Agreement, it and
every other Participant specifically denies liability or fault for any and all of the facts, legal
contentions, and occurrences alleged against it with respect to the Western Port Angeles Harbor.
Neither this Agreement, nor any information submitted or any action taken by any Participant
pursuant to this Agreement, shall constitute, be interpreted, construed, or used as evidence of any
admission of liability or a waiver of any right or defense.
7.0 TOLLING OF CLAIMS; RESERVATION OF RIGHTS
May 20, 2025 I - 56
7.1 All statutes of limitations applicable to claims between the Participants arising out of
or relating to contamination at the Western Port Angeles Harbor Site shall be tolled until the
Participant Group receives certification from Ecology that the Work under the Sediment Site
Consent Decree has been satisfactorily completed. Nothing in this Agreement modifies or negates
any tolling provisions contained in other agreements between the Participants to this Agreement.
Other than as provided for in the Sediment Site Consent Decree and Section 11.2 of this Agreement,
nothing contained in the Agreement shall waive or release any right, claim, defense, interest,
argument in law or equity, or cause of action that any Participant may have in federal, state, and/or
bankruptcy court with respect to any other person, entity, or agency including, without limitation,
Ecology, the United States, the Natural Resource Trustees for the Western Port Angeles Harbor or
any other Site in the Port Angeles vicinity, the State of Washington, including its agencies or agents,
other Participants, or non-Participants. This reservation of rights includes any claims Participants
may have against one another regarding Ecology’s allegations related to the Western Port Angeles
Harbor or any other Site in the Port Angeles vicinity. Nothing in this Agreement constitutes a waiver
or a relinquishment of arguments by Owens Corning relating to the discharge of claims under
Section 1141 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. §1141), including but not limited to,
the Sixth Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization for Owens Corning and its Affiliated Debtors and
Debtors-in- Possession (the “Bankruptcy Plan”) entered in Case No. 00-03837, United States
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, and the Order confirming the Bankruptcy Plan. In
any subsequent litigation, including any contribution actions described in Section 11 of this
Agreement, Owens Corning expressly reserves the right to assert its bankruptcy defense, including
the right to seek a determination from the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware, or any other court of competent jurisdiction, that such claims were discharged under the
May 20, 2025 I - 57
Bankruptcy Plan. Equally, the other Participants reserve all rights in any subsequent proceedings in
any forum, including the right to contest any of the above arguments.
8.0 RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES
8.1 Each Participant represents that it has sought and obtained any appropriate legal
advice it deems necessary prior to entering into this Agreement. No Participant or its Authorized
Representative shall act or be deemed to act under this Agreement as legal counsel or representative
of any other Participant, except as separately established through a joint-representation agreement.
No attorney-client relationship is intended to be created between Participants and the Authorized
Representatives of any other Participant as a result of the operations of this Agreement. Nothing
herein shall be deemed to create a partnership or joint venture and/or a principal and agent
relationship between or among the Participants or their representatives. No Participant or
Participant’s representatives shall have authority to act as general agent for any other Participant or
to bid for or to undertake any contracts enforceable against any other Participant, unless specifically
provided in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and as provided in Section 5.4, the
Participants intend that the matters undertaken pursuant to this Agreement are being undertaken as a
joint defense in anticipation of litigation with respect to Western Port Angeles Harbor. The
Participants expressly waive any possible conflict of interest that might have arisen or may arise in
the course of their joint activity or conduct undertaken pursuant to this Agreement. This Agreement
shall not be the basis to disqualify counsel to any of the Participants in a future matter unrelated to
the subject matter of this Agreement.
8.2 Public Statements. Press releases and other public statements made on behalf of the
Participants Group shall be approved in advance by the Participants by a vote of two-thirds of the
Voting Power. Each Participant may respond on its own behalf to inquiries from the public or press
so long as such Participant makes clear that it is not speaking on behalf of the Participants Group.
May 20, 2025 I - 58
8.3 Insurance. The Participants do not intend by entering into this Agreement to
prejudice any Participant with respect to its insurers and instead, the Participants anticipate that the
actions taken pursuant to this Agreement will benefit such insurers.
9.0 EFFECTIVE DATE; TERMINATION
9.1 The Effective Date of this Agreement shall be the date upon which the Sediment Site
Consent Decree is entered by the Court. This Agreement will automatically terminate upon the
Participant Group’s receipt of a certification by Ecology that the Work under the Sediment Site
Consent Decree has been satisfactorily completed.
10.0 DISPUTES REGARDING INTERPRETATION OF AGREEMENT
10.1 Any dispute that may arise under the Agreement shall be resolved according to
the following procedures:
If any Participant considers an issue, approval, or decision covered by the Agreement to
be in dispute, it shall provide written notice of the dispute to the other Participants. The
Participants and/or their attorneys shall meet in person (including by videoconference) as soon
as reasonably possible to attempt to resolve the dispute. If the Participants cannot resolve the
dispute within thirty (30) days of such meeting, the Participants shall seek to agree on a
mediator to mediate the dispute within ninety (90) days. If the Parties cannot agree on a
mediator, the mediator shall be selected by a favorable vote of at least two-thirds of the Voting
Power. The mediation shall be non-binding on the Participants, unless they sign a separate
written agreement as a result of the mediation. In the event the mediation is unsuccessful, and
the Participants are not able to resolve the dispute, each Participant reserves all rights and
defenses available to them under applicable laws. Nothing in this Section 10.0 applies to any
disputes between the Participants as to their final allocated shares as contemplated by Section
11.0.
May 20, 2025 I - 59
11.0 ADR PROCESS AND LITIGATION
11.1 Effect of ADR and Litigation. This Agreement is intended to provide a mechanism
for the implementation of the Sediment Site Consent Decree and to ensure that there is no delay in
Site remediation due to lack of agreement upon a re-allocation of costs for the Western Port Angeles
Harbor. The Funding Shares defined in Section 4.1 of this Agreement are established on an interim
basis only. The Participants understand and acknowledge that a reallocation of costs among the
Participants may be required, either through a negotiated agreement or litigation. The Participants
recognize that litigation may be necessary to reach a final allocation of past and future costs for the
Western Port Angeles Harbor. The Participants intend this Agreement to provide a mechanism for
the cooperative implementation of the Work until such time as the final allocation of costs is reached
for the Western Port Angeles Harbor, either through litigation or settlement. The Participants also
understand and acknowledge their desire to reach agreement, if possible, on a final allocation of past
and future Site costs through an alternative dispute resolution (“ADR”) process. The Participants
agree that within ninety (90) days of the Effective Date of this Agreement the Participants will meet
in person (or via phone or video conference) and in good faith to discuss the terms and conditions of
a possible ADR process agreement. Any ADR process to which the Participants agree will be the
subject of a separate unanimous written agreement(s). The Participants are not obligated to pursue or
approve any ADR process. For an ADR process to be selected, it must have the unanimous written
consent of all the Participants.
11.2 Express Waiver of Contribution Protection. The Participants anticipate that the
Sediment Site Consent Decree will specify that the signatories to the Sediment Site Consent Decree
agree not to assert any defenses based on contribution protection conferred by the Sediment Site
Consent Decree, Washington state law, or federal law against any other signatory to the Sediment
Site Consent Decree. The Participants specifically reserve their rights of contribution as against
May 20, 2025 I - 60
each other, notwithstanding any contrary interpretation of the contribution protection provided in the
Sediment Site Consent Decree, Washington state law, or federal law. A Participant’s express waiver
of the contribution protection as between each other shall remain in full force and effect, without
regard to whether a Participant is in default, whether this Agreement is terminated, or whether a
Participant withdraws or is removed, unless and until a final allocation among the Participants for
MTCA liabilities is reached through unanimous agreement or a final non-appealable judgment by a
court establishing a final allocation for the Site.
11.3 Initiation of Litigation. Notwithstanding any agreements or promises herein, any
Participant(s) may initiate litigation related to the Site, including but not limited to contribution
actions, at any time against other Participants and/or non-Participants. Initiation of an ADR process
or litigation does not relieve any Participant of its obligations set forth in this Agreement. The
Participants continue to reserve their respective rights to seek a reallocation of all past and future
costs, including all costs incurred for the RI/FS and DCAP, as part of any final allocation for the
Site, which may include statutory and contractual claims for equitable allocation and
indemnification.
12.0 NOTICES
12.1 All notices, bills, invoices, reports, and other communications to or by a Participant
shall be sent to the Participant’s Authorized Representative(s) designated in accordance with Section
2.8.
13.0 DURATION OF AGREEMENT
13.1 The Agreement shall remain in effect unless amended, superseded, or revoked by
unanimous agreement of the Participants or until termination pursuant to Section 9.0 above. The
Agreement shall not be applicable to any Ecology exercise of its “reopener” rights under the
Sediment Site Consent Decree.
May 20, 2025 I - 61
14.0 EFFECT ON OTHER AGREEMENTS
14.1 This Agreement supersedes all previous Common Interest and Participation
Agreements between the Participants, as well as the October 2016 Mediation Agreement (including
addenda) between the Participants (collectively, the “Previous Agreements”), except nothing in
this Agreement modifies or negates any tolling or confidentiality provisions contained in the
Previous Agreements or contained in other agreements between the Participants. Further, this
Agreement does not supersede any performance or funding obligations under Previous Agreements
necessary to complete required work under the 2013 Agreed Order for the Western Port Angeles
Harbor Site.
15.0 MODIFICATION OF AGREEMENT
15.1 The Funding Shares in the Agreement may be reallocated in accordance with a future
unanimous written agreement between the Participants or as determined by a final non-appealable
judgment issued by a court. Any other modification of the Agreement shall require unanimous
written agreement of the Participants.
16.0 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; NO THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES
16.1 This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Participants.
No assignment or delegation of the obligation to make any payment or reimbursement hereunder
shall release the assigning Participant without the prior written consent of the other Participants.
Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be interpreted to create any rights in any person not a
Participant to this Agreement.
17.0 NONWAIVER
17.1 Except as provided in Section 11.2, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to
waive any rights, claims, or privileges which any Participant shall have against any other Participant
or any other person or entity. If the Participant Group does not act on any default under this
May 20, 2025 I - 62
Agreement by any Participant, the Participant Group shall not be deemed to have waived its right to
take action on any additional defaults hereunder.
18.0 AUTHORITY OF PARTIES
18.1 Each Participant represents and warrants that it has all requisite power, and has taken
required procedures corporate, public, municipal, or otherwise, to enter into and be bound by the
terms and conditions of this Agreement.
19.0 COUNTERPARTS
19.1 This Agreement shall be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.
20.0 ENTIRE AGREEMENT
20.1 Except as otherwise stated in Section 14.1, this Agreement, and any subsequent
amendments, shall constitute the entire understanding of the Participants with respect to its subject
matter.
21.0 GOVERNING LAW
21.1 This Agreement shall be construed under and in accordance with the laws of the State
of Washington.
22.0 ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS
22.1 Except as otherwise stated herein, the Participants shall bear their own attorneys’ fees
and costs incurred in connection with the negotiation and implementation of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any action brought to enforce the terms of this Agreement, the
prevailing Participant shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred
therein.
May 20, 2025 I - 63
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Participants hereto enter into this Agreement. Each person
signing this Agreement represents and warrants that he or she is duly authorized to enter into this
Agreement by the company or entity on whose behalf that person is signing.

Subject: 2024 Year-End Financial Report (unaudited)
This report provides an overview of the year-to-date financial information for 2024, along with
comparatives to previous years’ data. High level information will be included in this report, with specific
financial reports provided as a supplemental attachment for your reference when reviewing this report.
Additionally, specific information on spending and revenue information can also be found on the Open
Budget portal of the City’s website here: http://openbudget.cityofpa.us/#!/year/default, or by clicking on
the “Open Data and Public Records” icon on the homepage of the City website and following the link for
“Open Budget.”
For easy reference, the “Budget at a
Glance” chart demonstrates the percent
change for each major fund at year-end
compared to the amended 2024 Budget.
Revenue changes highlighted in green
indicate the year-end surpassed budget
expectations. Expenditure items in
green were at or below budget at the end
of 2024. Items highlighted in red
exceeded budgeted expenses or did not
meet revenue expectations. When
reviewing year-end amounts, attention
to overall revenues less expenditures is
the best way to determine fund stability.
For example, if revenues are greater
than or equal to expenditures, the fund
balance will increase or remain the
same. However, if expenditures exceed
revenues, the fund balance will be
impacted negatively.
Citywide Funds
The 2024 fiscal year saw the foundation
of the City’s budget further supported through collection and spending in the budget for existing and new
services that provided positive outcomes to our community. Staff carefully considered the needs of the
community when spending and making changes to the budget throughout the 2024 year and ultimately
worked to create an outcome of stability by maintaining lean and consistent expenses at year-end. These
impacts can be seen directly in the year-end report. It is through these hard efforts of City Council and Staff
that the overall 2024 Budget completed the year in firm financial footing. It is especially remarkable to see
this balanced approach when considering the challenges of the past year as well as the potential challenges
ahead with the economic realities of inflation that have impacted every part of the City’s budget. Despite

these potential issues, the City remains committed to placing our community at the forefront of budgetary
decision making to ensure the success of all who are invested in our community. In 2024, one of the many
ways the City accomplished this was through grant funding to continue our efforts to provide financial
assistance to utility customers and community members in need.
In 2022, unfavorable market conditions were significant causing the City to book a loss of $7.3 million
collectively to investment interest earned across funds Citywide in accordance with GASB 31 standards.
Market conditions began to return to a more favorable status in 2023 and continued into 2024. This resulted
in a gain on investments as compared to the budget of $3,378,699 across all departments in 2024 helping
to offset the loss that occurred in 2022. Other areas to celebrate in the 2024 fiscal year include another
record year for revenue collection in the Lodging Tax fund. Sales tax, including affordable housing,
Transportation Benefit District (TBD), and Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) also had significant revenue
collection beyond budget expectations. Residential and commercial usage and consumption also saw
growing patterns for collection. The careful planning that went into the 2024 Budget process considered
conservative revenue projections and stringent expenditure budgets while continuing to meet the needs of
the Port Angeles community allowed operating funds to remain balanced without depleting City reserves.
A chart that includes major revenue citywide is included at the bottom of this section for easy comparison
of the budget to actual amounts for these revenue sources.
Expenditures Citywide saw similar patterns of savings in personnel benefit costs coupled with overtime
exceeding budget due to vacancies, as well as less spending in travel and training and repairs and
maintenance. Additionally, significant reductions in spending as compared to the budget also occurred in
the amount of power purchased due to the changes in need from the City’s industrial customer that resulted
in a savings of $4.2 million, as well as decreased spending in 2024 for Harbor Clean-up efforts that will
carry into 2025. Project spending was most significantly impacted in the 2024 Budget, with $22.0 million
in projects carrying into the 2025 year with corresponding grant revenue reimbursement delayed as a result.
Though the City’s budget has remained fiscally sound, inflation and present economic conditions are threats
that must be factored into any long-term decision-making process. As the City moves forward with
exploring options to not only grow services but maintain the services that have been built into the budget
over the last several years, it is imperative that the conservative consideration of the policies and
commitment that Council and Staff worked so hard to build over the last decade are weighed with any
proposed changes to the City’s budget.

2024 Major Revenue -Budget vs. Actuals2024 Budget 2024 Actual - Estimate
May 20 , 2025 L - 5
202 4 Year-End Financial Report Page | 3
Revenues – General Fund revenues exceeded projections in the taxes and miscellaneous revenue
categories resulting from high collections of sales tax and investment interest earnings in the 2024
year. However, overall revenue as compared to the budget did not meet budget estimates by 1.1%
at the end of the year. The revenue shortfall in the licensing and permit area and revenue expected
from grants for large projects, such as the Comprehensive Plan Update, were not fully received in
2024 and will carry into the 2025 Budget and were largely the contributing factor for the lower
collection. Each major revenue source in the General Fund is discussed further below.
Property taxes – Property tax collections were slightly below expectations for the year.
The City received $93,076 less tax revenue in this area than expected due to lower-than-
expected collection from new construction and delays in payments. Property tax collection
in 2025 is expected to meet budget expectations.
Sales Taxes – City sales taxes for a 12-month basis ended the year over revenue
expectations. Regular City sales taxes were 3.5%, or $166,525, over budget for the year. A
slight decrease of 1.2% from the 12-month period prior, demonstrating the importance of
City policy to estimate revenues in the budget conservatively. Sales tax revenue collection
in all categories indicated a well-rounded economic base. In addition, online spending has
continued to see the trend of high collection. Sales tax collection is one of the strongest
indicators of economic change and as indicated by the 2024 collection the Port Angeles
economy has remained firm throughout the last several years despite the economic
hardship faced by many in our community and across the state and the nation and the
growing costs of inflation. Sales tax trend changes by category in 2024 as compared to
2023 are indicated below:
Retail Trade increased 9.9%
Construction decreased 16.0%
Accommodation and Food Services increased 13.2%
Wholesale Trade increased 7.1%
Manufacturing increased 10.3%
Other services decreased 21.5%
Information increased 1.4%
Utility Taxes –
Utility taxes collected in the water, solid waste collections and transfer station
utilities all finished the year above budget expectations, a total of $166,041, or
7.9% collectively.
The collection of electric utility tax was significantly impacted by revenue
collection by the City’s industrial customer and ended the year below budget
projections, $181,209 (10.1%). Additionally, collection in the Wastewater and
Stormwater funds were slightly lower than planned.
Utility tax collection combined finished the year 0.7%, or $38,078 below budget.
Charges for Goods and Services – In the General Fund, allocations make up the majority
of charges for goods and services. Increased spending as well as filling staffing vacancies
resulted in an additional $189,917, or 3.5%, being allocated to utilities at the end of the
year than was projected in the budget.
Building Permits and Fees – In 2024, revenue collection from permits did not meet budget
expectations with 6.4% of the budget uncollected at year-end. Permit revenue in the
community and economic development department exceeded expectations, however,
public works permits within the General Fund fell significantly under budget, 50.7%. This
was the first year of the changes to the permit fees. Estimates were adjusted in the 2025
Budget process to reflect the actual expected collection.
Parks and Recreation Fees and Rental Income – Revenue collection for event fees and
facility rentals in the Parks and Recreation department in 2024 exceeded expectations by
14.3%. This trend is expected to continue through the 2025 year.
May 20 , 2025 L - 6
202 4 Year-End Financial Report Page | 4
Expenditures
Total expenditures for the General Fund were $207,122, or 0.7%, below budget. This was
due primarily to filling staffing vacancies in multiple departments as well as spending for
professional services. Though savings occurred in many departments overall, many
expenses had very specific revenue offsets, such as grants, that were carried into the 2025
year. When these associated expenses are removed, savings were not always achieved in
these areas.
Expenditures at year-end exceeded planned revenues and use of reserves by approximately
$95,148. Additionally, at the end of the year $498,827 received from Opioid Settlement
funds was moved to a restricted reserve account as these funds have specific uses and must
be separated from the unassigned fund balance. As a result of these two items, the General
Fund balance dropped below the 25% fund balance requirement (21.9%) and will need to
be rebuilt in future Budget years per City Policy. Spending was also a contributing factor
to the decrease in fund balance with unanticipated costs for personnel that resulted from
collective bargaining for the 2023 and 2024 years, as well as higher than anticipated
overtime costs in several departments.
The chart below shows the change in expenditures comparing the 2024 Budget to actual amounts for each
department in the General Fund.
Special Revenue Funds:
Lodging Tax Fund #101 – The LTAX fund finished the year with another historical year,
exceeding the budget by 63.9% or $560,182 with total tax collection of $1,436,382. This is the
highest collection year on record for this revenue source. Expenditures were on budget with all
grant and capital spending complete in the 2024 year.
Street Fund #102 - Revenues in the Street fund came in $42,081 higher than anticipated in this
fund due to the collection of 0.10% Transportation Benefit District tax in this fund starting in 2024.
Motor vehicle excise tax, a significant revenue source in this fund, continues to decrease year over
year, solidifying how meaningful the TBD funding is to prevent the General Fund from further

subsidizing the street fund to maintain a 25% fund balance. Expenses ended the year $302,217
under budget due to savings in personnel costs, equipment needs and maintenance.
Real Estate Excise Tax #1 & #2 (REET#1 & REET#2) – Revenues in both REET funds
combined completed the year $175,623 over budget. This collection has remained higher than the
budget over the last decade. Expenditures consist of transfers approved for debt and capital and as
a result are fully expended for the year.
PenCom #107 – Revenue in the PenCom fund at year-end was above budget projections due to
higher than anticipated capital sales and phone tax collection ending the year $310,557, or 8.3% in
excess of expectations. Expenditures at year end slightly exceeded budget expectations, 0.6% due
to increased overtime costs that continued in 2024 resulting from significant staffing vacancies.
Business Improvement Fund #165 – This fund is used to collect revenues for parking and
downtown improvements. The number of businesses downtown and the amount of the recurring
charges vary very little, however, in 2024 this revenue largely met budget expectations, falling
$357 under budget. Expenditures met budget expectations at year end.
Port Angeles Housing Fund #172 – This fund is used to finance housing rehabilitation and
building for low-income residents in the City limits. Additionally, the tax collected and expenses
associated with affordable housing are also tracked in this fund. The affordable housing sales tax
collection exceeded expectations by 13.4% with total collection of $573,985. Resulting in revenue
over collection in this fund overall. While under budget in expenditures, these amounts are related
to contracts and may be multi-year in nature. Funds for these agreements are held until completion.
Code Compliance Enforcement Fund #175 – This fund accounts for actions taken by the City
regarding blighted properties and code compliance efforts. The General Fund continues to transfer
funding each year for personnel costs for Code Enforcement until other revenue options are
established. Expenses in 2024, were primarily the result of personnel costs for two Code
Enforcement Officers. This fund ended the year on track with the budget.
Debt Service Funds:
LTGO Bond Fund #217 – This refunding bond provided funding to extend service into the
Western Urban Growth Area (WUGA). Approximately 82% of the total debt service is paid by
Electric, Water, and Wastewater utilities. With the remaining 18% coming from the General Fund.
As revenues consist of transfers in and expenditures only consist of principal and interest payments
the year ended on target.
General Government Capital Projects Funds:
Capital Improvement Fund #310 – Due to changing priorities, capital projects do not follow a
spending pattern from year to year. This trend has been particularly evident with the impacts of
inflation pushing the boundaries of affordability in the City’s budget to allow project completion.
Staffing capacity to complete projects has also remained a critical factor regarding the completion
of projects in this fund. Projects have been delayed resulting in a backlog that has carried through
multiple budget years, many of these same projects will carry into 2025 or be reprioritized for
completion. In this fund revenues fell short by 9.9% due to unreceived grant funding that was
expected in the budget for several park related projects in a total amount of $408,474. Spending
May 20 , 2025 L - 8
202 4 Year-End Financial Report Page | 6
was also below budget due to unfinished capital projects. Funding for each project approved in the
2024 Budget will be held in reserves and carried into 2025 for use on these unfinished projects.
Transportation Benefit District #312 – Tax collection in the Transportation Benefit District
(TBD) ended the year 30.0% ($250,601) over budget. This additional unplanned funding will be
utilized for future street projects in the Transportation Improvement Plan that previously were not
able to be fully funded. Total revenue was 18.4% under collected in 2024 largely due to grant
revenue that has not yet been received for the 8th St. Paving project. This grant will carry into 2025
for project completion. Spending in this fund was below budget by $5,837,122, or 40.6%, due to
projects that were delayed as a result of backlog that has continued over the last several years. The
funding for these unfinished projects remains in this fund for completion. Additionally, this fund
faces the same challenges of inflation and staffing capacity for project completion as the
Governmental Capital fund
Parks Capital Fund #316 – Revenues in this fund exceeded budget expectations due to investment
earnings and facility rental fees ending the year higher than anticipated. Expenditures planned in
this fund in 2024 met budget expectations.
Utilities and Enterprise Funds:
Electric Fund #401 – Revenues in the Electric fund ended the year 5.2% under budget as a result
of significantly lower consumption from the City’s industrial customer than planned. Industrial
collection ended the year 37.5%, $2,435,878, below budget. This revenue is not built into the
overall COSA and is designed to offset energy purchased for this industrial customer and as a result
is not impacting the overall utility. In addition, changing market conditions in 2024 caused an
increase on investment interest earned as compared to budget expectations of $1.2 million.
Expenditures were 12.4% under budget due to lower taxes paid resulting from reduced industrial
revenue collection and less power purchased from BPA than planned in the budget resulting in
about $4.1 million in savings in this fund.
Water Fund #402 – Revenues finished the year in the water fund over budget (5.3%) as a result
of investment earnings ending the year significantly above budget expectations ($582,749) due to
favorable changes in market conditions as compared to 2023. Residential revenue collection also
ended the year 4.4% above budget projections. Expenditures were below budget expectations
ending the year 5.9% under budget as a result of repairs and maintenance and professional services
savings in the industrial water division.
Wastewater Fund #403 – Revenues exceeded expectations in the budget by 5.3% ($403,480) in
2024 due to the increase of investment income as compared to the expected budget. Revenue
collection from residential customers exceeded the budget by 4.5% ($215,230). All other revenue
areas met or slightly exceeded expectations. Expenditures were also under budget by 3.4%
($316,753) due to savings for minor repairs and maintenance, professional services and machinery
and equipment.
Solid Waste Fund #404 – Revenue in the Solid Waste fund ended the year slightly over budget,
0.5% or $89,906, due to changes made in the cost-of-service analysis (COSA) to rebuild the
reserve. Though self-haul revenue collection was under collected as compared to the budget.
Expenditures in the Solid Waste Fund were 1.3% under budget largely due to action taken by
Council at the end of the 2024 year to prevent further decline of the fund balance in this utility.
Staff utilized the hiring freeze and delay of the principal interfund loan payments to the water
department options approved by Council to ensure solvency in this fund at year-end. Additionally,
May 20 , 2025 L - 9
202 4 Year-End Financial Report Page | 7
increased costs for contractual transport services continue to exceed expectations and were
increased in the 2025 Budget process.
Additionally, at year-end the Solid Waste operating cash balance started to rebuild as planned in
the COSA, however, this balance remains negative and reliant on the capital reserve. It is expected
that as the settlement payments to the City’s previous provider of Solid Waste services are complete
this will be corrected and the cash in the operating reserve will reach required levels. Staff was
aware in 2024 that the Solid Waste cash balance required attention and initiated a proposed plan of
action with Council approval to correct this in the 2024-2025 years. In addition, the cost-of-service
analysis to amend utility rates will be reviewed in the fall of 2025 for any changes needed to balance
this fund. These actions are expected to correct the negative cash balance and begin to rebuild the
reserve in this fund. This fund will be carefully monitored and analyzed throughout the 2025 year
to ensure the Solid Waste utility remains stable and that projects and operations are able to move
forward as planned.
Stormwater Fund #406 –The City received 3.4% ($126,921) less revenue than budgeted in this
fund primarily due to a grant anticipated for the purchase of a permeable pavement cleaner that was
not received. Investment interest earned ended the year $205,739 above revenue projections.
Expenditures were also under budget by 1.8% ($68,556), due to lower professional service needs
than anticipated.
Medic 1 Fund #409 – Revenues exceeded the budget by 11.3% ($468,294) at the end of 2024 due
to higher ambulance transport fees than expected. Expenditures also finished the year over budget
($8,623) due to IAFF contract updates for the 2023 and 2024 year that occurred in 2024 as well as
higher than anticipated overtime costs. However, the revenue collection in this fund exceeded the
expenses for the year and as a result this is not a concern at this time.
Harbor Clean -Up Fund #413 –This fund includes insurance coverage for the majority of costs
associated with the Harbor Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study. Expenses are paid with
insurance reimbursement following, resulting in timing differences. Revenues and expenditures
were significantly under budget at the end of 2024 indicating both invoices and reimbursements for
this project are behind.
Conservation Fund #421 – Contract payments, tied to the amount of power purchased, from
Bonneville Power Association for conservation activities make up nearly 100% of the revenue in
this fund. At year-end, revenues were 44.3% ($314,231) lower than expected and expenses were
21.1% under budget due to the corresponding incentive spending that did not occur.
Utilities Capital Funds:
All Capital Utility funds –
Revenues in Electric, Water, Wastewater and Stormwater capital funds are the result of
funding transfers from each of the pertaining utilities. Solid Waste and CSO capital funds
also receive a surcharge to pay for debt service in addition to the transfer from the utilities.
Transfers are made in each budget year regardless of spending to keep rates stable and
predictable. It is not uncommon for revenues to stay in reserves until a project is fully
funded and ready for implementation. Due to the transfer of funds on a yearly basis revenue
in these funds are in line with the budget expectations. The Electric capital budget also
included expected grant funding in 2024 for the electric vehicle charging stations that did
not occur as the project was carried into the 2025 Budget at the end of the year. It is
expected this grant funding will be received in 2025.
May 20 , 2025 L - 10
202 4 Year-End Financial Report Page | 8
The Solid Waste and CSO surcharge collection continues to meet budget
expectations to meet debt requirements.
All projects included in the budget are approved in the Capital Facilities Plan.
The Solid Waste utility fund finished the year slightly over budget due to spending for the
Decent Facility. All remaining utility capital funds were well under anticipated spending
due to unfinished projects that will carry into the 2025 Budget. Staffing capacity continues
to play a role in the City’s ability to complete projects. Many supplies and services needed
to finish these projects have seen significantly increased costs due to inflationary impacts,
which contributed to capital projects being unable to move forward as scheduled.
Internal Service Funds:
Equipment Service Fund #501 – Revenues ended the year 8.8%, or $282,143 above budget due
to positive market changes that resulted in investment earnings and one-time transfers in support
of unexpected vehicle replacement and repair needs. Expenditures finished the year 9.3% under
budget due to capital vehicle replacements that were not received prior to year-end and carried into
the 2025 Budget.
Information Technology Fund #502 – The Information Technology (IT) fund charges other
departments for the expenditures incurred while operating and maintaining the City’s IT
infrastructure and therefore if expenses did not occur the actual charges to other departments will
be adjusted accordingly at year-end. Revenues at the end of the year exceeded the budget by 10.8%
due to investment earnings ending the year higher than projected and increases for transferred
revenue to offset IT operating costs that exceeded budget expectations. Expenditures were under
budget in 2024 due to carrying several IT capital projects into 2025.
Self-Insurance Fund #503 – This fund accounts for property/casualty insurance, workers
compensation, and health insurance coverage. Revenues and expenditures both met budget
estimates at the end of the 2024 budget year. Similar to the IT Fund, this fund only spends amounts
collected by other funds for services and as a result the revenues and expenses follow a similar
trend. In 2024, revenues completed the year above budget (3.3%) due to increased transfers to
offset averaged claims citywide. Expenses ending the year 0.6% below budget projections was the
result of unspent budget for employee insurance due to staffing vacancies.
Permanent & Trust Funds:
Cemetery Endowment Fund #601 – A portion of the purchase price for gravesites is collected
and placed in this fund for maintenance of the cemetery after it is at capacity. Capacity is not
expected to be reached for many years. Revenues in 2024 consisted of investment interest earned.
Due to favorable market conditions in the last year interest collected finished the year positively,
or $8.595 above the anticipated budget.
Firemen’s Pension Fund #602 – This fund pays for retired pre-LEOFF employee medical and
salary costs based on existing agreements. As of December 31, 2024, the fund had one former
employee and one surviving spouse covered by this plan. In 2024, revenue collection was in line
with expectations with overcollection of 4.4% or $836. Spending was also considerably less than
the projected budget due to expected long-term care costs that were included in the budget but were
not needed.

Story of a Records Request
Sunday
Good morning Councilmember,
I am a city resident. I heard that there was an ordinance
recently passed that bans backyard chickens. There are
several households in my neighborhood that keep chickens.
I want to know what kind of discussion went into putting
this ban in place, emails and that kind of thing.
Thank you
