Council of the City of Port Orchard, Washington, called to order for a Special Session by Mayor Pro-tem Powers at
7:30 PM at City Hall, 216 Prospect Street.
Council members present: Clauson, Geiger, Powers, Van Zee, and Stansbery.
Staff present: City Clerk Parks.
Mayor Pro-tem Powers welcomed those present and confirmed that this special session was convened at the
request of the Public Property Committee. The Council periodically awards the Good Neighbor Award. The next
award that is due for presentation is for the best holiday light display. The Public Property Committee had invited
all elected officials, staff, and the public to accompany the Committee on a tour of the city to choose the recipients
of this season's awards. Kitsap Transit provided transportation.
Councilman Clauson arrived with a Kitsap Transit van and it was determined a larger van was necessary to
accommodate the citizens who had accepted the offer to accompany the Public Property Committee on the
holiday light tour. He returned quickly with a larger vehicle and the group left city hall at approximately 7:45 p.m.
Those present were impressed by the number and quality of lighted displays throughout the city and found that
choosing the "best display' for residential lighting and commercial lighting proved to be extremely difficult. After
thoughtful discussion is was agreed that two residential awards would be given this season.
The tour returned to city hall and the special session was adjourned at 9:35 p.m.
