OA WC News Bulletin--Advertise last day of March (Financial Analyst or any position) Offiçe Space 45 day notice of intent-- Decision to occur tonight. Council discussion: Lengthy discussion of the issues included: Public Works Inspector: "The Development Review Engineer does not have the time nor the purview to examine mitigations and conditions for environmental permits, ESA, etc. Would feel comfortable only if delineated as a duty of the Public Inspector." Peterson spoke ofthe work of public rights-of- way and Engineering Design Standards enforcement, that there would be some overlap with Planning. He stated this is an essential position to see new codes carried through. Wheeler spoke of advertising for the position Council already conceptually agreed to. He pointed out April is a busy time. If fees are approved on April 21st, and they advertise the position by April 1, they may be able to have someone in place in the necessary time. City Council Minutes Page 8 March 17, 1997 . Cost of Financial Analyst Contract: "Consultant contract is not to exceed $40,000, but does not have a unit price." Wheeler answered the unit cost is $45 per hour with no benefits. Union (Seniority): "How many from engineering would be covered by the union contract?" Wheeler responded there would be three. "What are the qualifications for bumping?" Hildt answered, seniority as far as possible. Space Needs: "Having to contract for space is an indication we have to do something about space for the City, looking at some long-term space needs." MOTION Shoulberg Authorize the Public Works Director to advertise the Financial Analyst position according to the job description in the memo of March 12, 1997, and the schedule described by the Public Works Director. SECOND Camfield Discussion Keith said when you lose highly skilled employees you have to take a loss to fill the gaps. You have no choice but accept additional costs, especially at this time of year. VOTE Held until after the next Public Comment. MOTION Camfield Proceed with reclassification of the Assistant Administrative Manager to Office Lead and advertise for a Public Works Inspector position with the job description as in the March 12, 1997 memo. . SECOND Keith Discussion Keith changed the statement to say the inspector would be partly paid for out of inspection fees. Wheeler concurred. Jenks asked Camfield if she had purposely left out the position of assistant PW Assistant II - Engineering. Camfield responded the timing is not as critical for that position; she wants to see organizational structure before hiring. Perry-Thompson said she sees getting a consultant for the organizational structure for the entire city is crucial -- scope of work and space needs. She urged being flexible whatever a consultant finds. Keith made the point that advertising is not hiring. If you do not hire now, you go through another season without an inspector. Jenks said it is just the timing, a need for order more than anything else, but said she firmly supports the positions. VOTE Held until after the next Public Comment. Mayor McCulloch made the comment the primary concern is to function and fulfill our basic requirements; we have lost employees from work overload and employee burn out. If we stall too long, the workload will shift to other employees close to the edge. She said this proposal does contain flexibility. Shoulberg asked if new hires know they have to be prepared for reorganizational change. . City Council Minutes Page 9 March 17, 1997 . . . PUBLIC COMMENTS/QUESTIONS Mayor McCulloch opened the meeting for Public Comments/Questions. There being none, Mayor McCulloch closed the Public Comment/Questions portion of the meeting. VOTE ON MOTIONS MADE DURING COMMITTEE/STAFF REPORTS Mayor McCulloch opened the meeting to the Public for comment on the motions made by Council during the Committee/Staff reports. Motion to hire a Fin3ncial Analnt (Assumes reclassification of Administrative Manat:er to FiIumcial AnalnO: VOICE VOTE: 6 in favor, Jenks dissenting Motion to reclassitj the AssistaQt Administrative Manafer to Office Lead and advertise for a Public Works Inspector: VOICE VOTE: 6, in favor, Jenks dissenting PUBLIC HEARINGS Conditional Use Permit (CUP) Application No. 97-00001, Temporary Fast food Restaurant, John Sheehan (Closed Record Hearing. No Public Testimony Accepted) Ms. Judy Surber made the staff presentation. She stated the CUP is for a temporary structure for the fast food restaurant under the name "Dogs-A-Foot" that has been located for many years on the vacant lot at the comer of Water and Madison Streets and removed each season at the cessation of restaurant operation. The restaurant would be located in the C-III zoning district and restaurants are permitted outright; however, the temporary structure requires a conditional use permit. Surber discussed the Findings of Fact, Conclusions and Conditions. The Planning Commission, with a unanimous vote of 6 in favor, recommended the Conditional Use Permit be approved as Conditioned. She pointed out the Planning Commission considered another draft which recommended approval with the condition that a CUP was granted and renewable each year by a letter of request. The Planning Commission was concerned with the precedent this would set for other similar uses which are now under enforcement with the City. Due to the precedent that may be set, and with the potential revisions to our zoning code that will provide an easier process in the future, they felt more comfortable with a CUP which expires. They also took into consideration that the zoning code does define temporary structures as structures which are intended for a duration of up to 6 months. City Council Minutes Page 10 March 17, 1997 . . . Jenks asked regarding the time to process this application. Surber indicated the application had been put on a fact track and she concluded it took approximately 2 months. In response to Jenks question if it would take the same amount of time each year, or less time after this, Surber replied she could not project on workload but indicated the process would be much easier. Perry- Thompson asked if there had been any follow through regarding the notation in Historic Preservation Committee (HPC) minutes concerning the fiberglass roof of the shelter. Surber replied she had not attended that meeting but had asked Ms. Judy Erlandson, staff to HPC, if anything else was needed for HPC and Erlandson indicated everything was complete. Davidson asked regarding Finding of Fact #9, and it was noted 11 :00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. weekly will be changed to daily. MOTION Davidson Approval of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) Application No. LUP 97-00001, Approving Findings of Facts of the Planning Commission 1-11, Finding #9 being changed to say daily rather than weekly; Conclusions 1.6 and Conditions 1-6. SECOND VOTE Camfield Unanimous, 7 in favor UNFINISHED BUSINESS ORDINANCE NO. 2570 AN ORDINANCE VACATING THAT PORTION OF HILL AVENUE FROM SIMS WAY TO 10TH STREET LOCATED EASTERLY OF LOTS 1-7 OF BLOCK 188 IN THE EISENBEIS ADDITION TO THE CITY OF PORT TOWNSEND; ESTABLISHING CONDITIONS TO THE STREET V ACA TION; AND ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Mayor McCulloch read the ordinance by title. McMahan indicated the City had secured the easement described in Item C, and the easement will be recorded immediately upon recordation of this ordinance. Keith asked if there was a street use agreement with this also. McMahan replied the Dudley Rezone was quasi-judicial and not conditioned on this. He also said this is the final step to complete the street vacation decision Council already made. The key issue was obtaining two easements: 1) the non-City utility easement and, 2) the City utility easement described in paragraph C. Both have been done. Councilmember Perry-Thompson made a motion that the first reading be considered the second and the third be by title only which was seconded by Councilmember Shoulberg and passed unanimously by voice vote. Ms. Kolacy again read the ordinance by title. City Council Minutes Page 11 March 17, 1997 . . . Councilmember Perry-Thompson made a motion that the Council adopt Ordinance No. 2570 which was seconded by Councilmember Davidson and passed unanimously by roll call vote, 7 in favor. NEW BUSINESS A.

Councilmember Shoulberg made a motion that the Council adopt Resolution No. 97-38, seconded by Councilmember Perry-Thompson and amended. Wheeler clarified the unit cost is $45 per hour, and the professional liability insurance requirement in circumstances such as this is normally waived. Amendments (concurred by maker and second of the motion): .. Attachment 2 -- "Charges will include costs incurred during the billing period at $45.00 per hour." .. Attachment 3 -- Amended to delete Item #3, or to be consistent with the insurance deemed necessary by the City's Risk Manager in consultation with the Insurance Authority (WICA) which is the insurance carrier. and passed unanimously, 7 in favor by voice vote. PUBLIC COMMENT There was none. City Council Minutes Page 12 March 17, 1997 . . . COUNCILMEMBERS GENERAL DISCUSSION Davidson mentioned the $3 parking/use fee proposed in Governor Locke's budget for State Parks throughout the state. He said the Fort Worden Advisory Board meets March 20th; he suggested a letter of opposition be sent to the Governor with copies to the Parks Commission and State Representatives noting the impact of parking outside Fort Worden in adjacent residential areas. Hildt noted Port Manager Cahoon stated there is an area of beach the Port owns at Fort Worden, which raises legal questions regarding the State ability to impose fees at the Fort. Shoulberg made an appeal regarding the scope of work in the proposal of the organizational study. He pointed out one task -- is the revenue generated by the City commensurate with the needs of the CIP? He said if you fund the CIP, it is axiomatic that you need these positions to manage the flow of the inITastructure, and he feels it is a crucial component of the organizational study. Perry-Thompson announced an extension of the Victorian Chamber Singers will be performing Trial by Jury, a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, March 22 and March 23 in the Museum. EXECUTIVE SESSION Mayor McCulloch recessed the meeting into Executive Session to discuss possible property purchase including Bob Wheeler, Doug Mason, and Bruce Freeland.
