Pledge of Allegiance
Mayor Putaansuu led the audience and Council in the Pledge of Allegiance.
1. Discussion: Trademark Policy
City Clerk Rinearson noted the Trademark Policy is a follow up from trademarking the Wayfinding
Logo image. Staff has been working on creating a policy for use of the logo to promote tourism in
Port Orchard. The logo can be used for jewelry, advertising and business and [paper goods & printed
matter.] Should the City want to move forward with using the logo on any other materials, example
would be a vehicle, we would take a picture of what we wanted the logo on and send to the State.
Typically, when a logo is trademarked, the logo is prohibited from being used by others. The idea
behind our policy is to allow use of the logo, while making sure the guidelines are being followed.
This would include recipients of lodging tax funds.
Council and staff continued the discussion, which included pricing of the application to use the logo;
use of color and black/white or gray tone; items per application; and application details.

Council meeting.
Council Direction: Council directed staff to update the Trademark Policy to include provisions
regarding use of the logo in black/white or gray scale; annual license fee; no limit to items used for
the logo per application; and events that are approved for use on City property can use the logo.
2. Discussion: Golf Cart Zone
Mayor Putaansuu invited Bjorn Bjorke, General Manager of McCormick Woods, to join the Council
during this discussion.
Councilmember Cucciardi said he has ties to McCormick Woods and asked if anyone had any
concerns with him participating in the conversation. No one voiced any concerns.
Mayor Putaansuu said he was approached by members of the McCormick Woods Golf Course, who
asked about a designated golf cart zone in the McCormick Woods community. Citizens who utilize
the golf cart zone would need to be a licensed driver and have insurance.
Council and staff continued the discussion which included seatbelt requirements; drivable hours;
safety; speed limits; and State requirements.
After a brief discussion, Mayor Putaansuu and Council agreed for a town hall meeting to be scheduled
on August 2nd in McCormick Woods.
Council Direction: No direction was given to staff.
3. Discussion: Fathoms O' Fun and Saints Car Club Cruz
Mayor Putaansuu said the State has changed their requirements relating to liability insurance when
a State highway is closed. Fathoms O' Fun Festival and the Saints Car Club have been notified, as their
upcoming events include highway closures. The event organizers are having a hard time meeting the
new insurance requirements.
City Clerk Rinearson said State highways cannot be closed unless those insurance requirements are
met. In the past, the City was responsible for applying for highway closures, and the insurance
requirements fit within the City's insurance. When liability switched to non-City held events, the
liability shifted to the event organizer.
Council Direction: No direction was given to staff.
