Council of the City of Port Orchard, Washington, called to order for Study
Session by Mayor Protem John Clauson at 7:30 PM at City Hall, 216 Prospect
Street. Mayor Weatherill joined Council during session.
Council members present: Clauson, Wyatt, Powers and Geiger.
City Staff present: City Engineer Curles, City Treasurer Miller, City Planner
Gross, Police Chief Mathews, Municipal Court Judge Mittet and City Clerk Parks.
City Engineer Curles reviewed City Hall design process, objectives and introduced
Jim Brown of Art Anderson & Associates, design consultant for project.
Mr. Brown gave overview of building size by department and stated that the
building as designed utilizes 67% of the space as functional space, the average
for most commercial buildings is 50-60%.
Members of the design team briefed Council and staff on mechanical, plumbing,
HVAC, electrical systems, security system, site elevations and building placement
on site.
Council Chamber design has been changed from a elliptical shape to faceted shape
to reduce cost and improve acoustical quality of the chambers.
Council directed architects to (1) raise Council table, which will necessitate
installation of a lift to meet A.D.A requirements and to omit the cabinets
located behind the Council table; research reasonable, economical equipment for
presentations in the Council Chambers; submit alternate schemes for staff table
and Council table.
Mr. Brown explained that changes which were required to meet A.D.A requirement
for stairwells pushed some of the building into the setback areas or out of the
property boundaries (Prospect Street).
Council members present concurred on footprint of the building as presented on
the site plan and directed staff to commence various actions which will be
required to construct the building.
Mayor Protem Clauson directed Jim Brown to contact Larry Curles, City Engineer
if any additional design revisions are suggested prior to incorporating them into
the design drawings.
Meeting adjourned at 11:12 PM.
