RE: Committee Minutes
The Public Property Committee met at the Family Pancake House for
a breakfast meeting, 29 September 1994. Members present were
Carolyn Powers, Jack Grable and John Clauson. Also present was
Larry Curles.
The Committee reviewed the draft of a Citizen Recognition Award
program. This would allow the City Council to formally recognize
actions that improve our community. A draft of the "Good Neighbor
Award" program is attached. The Committee recommends that the
City adopt such a program. Public Works would staff it and the
Public Property Committee would oversee its implementation.
The Capital Facilities Program was reviewed. The Committee is
concerned that the existing format does not allow a comprehensive
picture of the cumulative financial impacts. The Plan will be
revised to include actual sub -plans (water, sewer, fire, etc) as
appendixes and include a comprehensive financial summary.
The following status was provided:
1.. The owners of the driveway which encroaches upon the
Kendall/Sidney lot were give a proposed easement and
cost. They need to decide if they will pay for the
easement or refer the matter to their attorney.
2. The subdivision at the Highland At Ross Creek will
remove 20,000 cubic yards of material and then protect
the site for the winter. Construction will resume in
the spring of 1995.
3. A meeting will be requested between the Street
Committee, Kitsap Transit and the Port of Bremerton to
discuss the downtown parking Lot #2.
The playground at Windfall Place does not meet the expectations
of the Committee. The Committee is concerned about recreational
opportunities as they relate to new developments.

CITIZEN RECOGNITION AWARDS
THE GOOD NEIGHBOR AWARD
PURPOSE: The City Council needs a way to publicly recognize those
citizens which contribute to the quality of the
neighborhood and community as a result of that person's
labor and leadership.
SELECTION: Once a quarter, the City Council will consider a
list of people whose achievements have improved the
City of Port Orchard. The list will be developed by
the City staff and submitted to the Council without
publication. The Council will informally review the
list. Individual Council members will then advise
the staff of the top two for recognition. That
survey will be presented to the Public Property
Committee for decision. The person which has
received the most recommendations will be
recognized that quarter at a City Council meeting.
The Council can also issue recognition at any other
time, if it deems appropriate.
RECOGNITION: The recognition will be a plaque with appropriate
wording.
The Port Orchard Independent will be asked to use a
publicity photograph of the presentation. The
Newsletter will also be used to advertise the
program.
