Port Angeles council approves consent agenda including $55,000 mineral-oil cleanup contract
Summary
Council unanimously approved the consent agenda, which included an expenditure report of $4.3 million and a $55,000 contract for mineral oil spill cleanup; a public commenter noted the city’s vandalism cleanup budget of $100,000 is being heavily used.
The Port Angeles City Council unanimously approved the consent agenda, which included an expenditure report covering $4,306,312.34 in payments, a 2025 budget amendment (first reading added to consent), and a mineral-oil spill cleanup contract for $55,000.
During public comment, a resident raised the mineral-oil cleanup item and observed that the city’s vandalism cleanup budget listed in the packet was $100,000; the speaker said the $55,000 contract would use over half of that allocation and framed it as an example of local crime-related costs. The council took no separate action on the public comment but approved the consent items without roll call opposition.
Items listed in the consent agenda read into the record included the city council minutes from April 15, 2025; the expenditure report from April 5 to April 25 totaling $4,306,312.34; purchases and contracts for light operations materials and other services; the mineral oil spill cleanup service contract (SVC 2025-17, C L 0325) at $55,000; a Cisco DNS security subscription renewal; the Opportunity Fund GRAMA item; a street wastewater capacity improvements item; 2025 budget amendment number 1 (moved onto the consent agenda by Councilmember Drew for first reading); and a backup server replacement purchase.
The consent agenda passed unanimously with the motion to approve and a second, and the mayor recorded the motion as passing without opposition.
