Port Angeles city

The Port Angeles City Council will consider action against Deputy Mayor Cherie Kidd as recommended by a board of ethics when it meets Tuesday.

The council will meet at 6 p.m. at City Hall, 321 E. Fifth St. A special meeting is planned at 5:45 p.m. for a presentation on investments policy.

The council will consider allowing council members to serve as volunteer firefighters, ambulance personnel or law enforcement reserve officers. The resolution will require a two-thirds majority of the council.
