Minutes of the special meeting of the City of Port Angeles Planning
Commission, May l7, 1951.
Planning Commission members present were Strange, Lamoureux, Gort,
Smith, Stewart and Reiners, also Mayor Feeley and Commissioner Robinson,
and City Engineer Ahlvers.
The minutes of the meeting of May 7th, 1951 were read and approved.
Chairman Strange reported that he had discussed the 6!% of our assessed
valuation to finance the proposed arterial improvements with Mr.
Harold Shefelman and was informed that whoever made the statement that
6!% was legal, was in error.
A general discussion followed on the overall arterial paving program.
During this discussion it developed that the Planning Commission as
well as the members of the City Commission present, were unanimous
in their opinion that the provement of the lower end of Tumwater Bridge,
by widening to facilitate heavy trucks turning off of same, as well as
some type of pavement on wVest Fifth Street from nC" Street to "I" Street,
be included.
Chairman Strate of the Planning Commission and City Engineer Ahlvers
were instructed to re-survey the arterial program as it has been proposed
and bring in recommendations on the most feasible places were the program
could be cut down to the extent that enough moneys would be saved to
finance the above two additions. It was suggested that cost could be
cut by eliminating certain asphaultic shoulders and probably a few
blocks of paving here and there.
During the discussion, it was generally agreed that the proposed new
bond issue would be for $400,OOQ.00. This amount being the legal
limit of indebtedness allowed on general obligation bonds.
No further business appearing, the meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully Submitted,
