Port Angeles City Council members are expected to discuss suicide-prevention measures for the Eighth Street bridges when they meet Tuesday in regular session.
The meeting begins at 6 p.m. in council chambers at City Hall, 321 E. Fifth St.
Port Angeles resident Stephanie Diane Caldwell, 21, plunged to her death from the eastern Eighth Street bridge over the Valley Creek gorge Oct. 11.
The two bridges have 4-foot, 6-inch combination wall-railings and are about 10 stories high.
City staff have gathered information about potential suicide-prevention measures for the council’s consideration, City Manager Dan McKeen said last week.
“We anticipate the council will bring this up,” he said.
In other action, the council will consider a settlement agreement with Mueller Systems LLC on the city’s Advanced Metering Infrastructure System contract that involved the much-delayed installation of “smart” meters.
The meters are designed to transmit water and electricity usage data wirelessly from homes and businesses to City Hall and receive information from city utility staff by use of wireless transmitters.
City Council members also will conduct a second reading and may adopt a revised shoreline master program that allows water-dependent uses within the shoreline area and requires setbacks for non-water-dependent buildings and uses.
Council members also will conduct first readings of industrial transmission electric rate ordinance amendments and Medic One utility rate adjustments.
Commissioners also will consider approving a collective bargaining agreement with the International Association of Firefighters Local 656.
It calls for a one-year contract extension from Jan. 1, 2015, to Dec. 31, 2015; a 2 percent cost-of-living increase effective Jan. 1; and a continuation of the terms of the existing agreement.
