7. BUSINESS ITEMS
A. Adoption of Ordinance No. 022-09, Amending Port Orchard Municipal Code
Chapter 1.04 Code
City Clerk Kirkpatrick presented the staff report, noting that there are times when minor scriveners
and/or clerical errors are found in ordinances and/or the Port Orchard Municipal Code. Currently,
when these types of errors are found, the City Clerk must do an ordinance to correct the minor
changes. This is costly to the City in that an ordinance to correct the errors must be generated,
which then causes an expense in staffs time as well as the Council; publication costs of the
ordinance; and codification costs when in fact it would be more efficient to make the minor
corrections prior to codification or as part of a future codification. In an effort to increase the
efficiency of the City, it is requested that the City Clerk be authorized to make minor scriveners
and/or clerical corrections within ordinances prior to codification as well as within the Municipal
Code for future chapter codifications, with review by the City Attorney to ensure the corrections do
not change the meaning of any law.
Councilmcmbcr Colebank MOVED and Councilmember Clauson seconded the motion
to adopt Ordinance No. 022-09, Amending Port Orchard Municipal Code Chapter
1.04 Code. Upon vote, the motion passed unanimously.
B. Adoption of Ordinance No. 023-09, Alnending Port Orchard Municipal Code Title
10 Parking by Adding a New Section 10.12.085 Chain Parking
Police Chief Townsend presented the staff report, noting as requested by the Council, an ordinance
addressing Chain Parking on Bay Street was presented with two options, with the difference being
what streets are affected. Option No. 1 covers just Bay Street from Sidney Parkway to Harrison
Street. Option No. 2 takes a look at what would happen when you impact Bay Street since there is
concern that potential violators could just move over to Sidney or Frederick and not move from
there all day. If the Council chooses to prevent violators from doing that, then Option 2 includes not
only Bay Street from Sidney Parkway to Harrison, but also Sidney from Prospect to the waterfront
and Frederick from Prospect to the waterfront.
Councilmember Chang MOVED and Councilmember Olin seconded the motion to
adopt Ordinance No. 023-09, amending the Port Orchard Municipal Code by adding a
new section 10.12.085 entitled "Chain Parking Prohibited" which covers Bay Street
from Sidney Parkway to Harrison as well as Sidney frmn Prospect to the waterfront
and Frederick from Prospect to the waterfront. Upon vote, the motion passed with
five affi1'mative votes and two dissenting votes. Councilmember Putaansuu and
Childs cast the dissenting votes.
Minutes of September 22, 2009
Pae of
Councilmembers Putaansuu and Childs' voiced their opposition, noting that chain parking
restrictions should encompass the entire City and that perhaps this was a matter that could be dealt
with after the winter season.

enforcement to begin in late October.
C. Adoption of Resolution No. 091-09, Approving a Water Use Efficiency Goal for the
City of Port Orchard
Public Works Director Dorsey presented the staff report, noting Washington Municipal Water Law
2003 requires that the City of Port Orchard establish a conservation goal for water consumption. It
is recommended that the City's goal be to reduce Single Family Residential water consumption from
160 GPD to 155 GPD by 2014 or a 0.5% annual reduction. On April 3, 2009, a Public Workshop was
held regarding the proposed water rate adjustment and the new water use efficiency goal for the
City, with a Public Hearing held on April 22, 2009.
