December 26, 1972
Council of the City of Port Orchard, Washington called to regular session by Mayor
Paul D. Powers, Jr. Councilmen present: Fulton, Caldwell, Geiger, Monteith, Berg
Grable and Van Zee. Also present was Chief Dow, Engineer Knobbs and Attorney Wal-
gren. Chief Weatherill excused.
Minutes of December 11, 1972 meeting approved on motion by Monteith, seconded by
Grable and carried.
Mr. Saulor of S & S Auto Rebuild, 1971 Sidney informed Council that the impound yard
will be eliminated in its entirety and that all cars and junkers will be out of his
place of business within three weeks. Also informed Council that the only apparent
problem was the impound yard and that now there is no reason why the Council could
not rezone his property to Commercial. Mr. Saylor was informed that there were other
areas discussed at the August 14th meeting and that these have not yet been completed.
Councilman Fulton stated that this Council at this meeting could hardly do anything
toward the requested rezone as nothing had been done on the three main items. Council-
man Monteith stated that the Building Committee should re -inspect the area about the
6th or 7th of January, 1973 and make recommendations at the January 15th meeting.
Mayor assigned this to the Finance Committee.
Letter read from Kitsap County Sewer Disrtict #5 requesting the Council to indicate
either favorably or disfavorably as to their feelings relative to the request of
Sewer District #5 for planning and engineering funds on a pre -application for a Federal
grant. This application would also be for construction of a Secondary Treatment Center
for the sanitary wastes of the South County area. Letter further informed Council that
it is the intent to centralize 'the treatment of sewage and treat the problem of sewage
waste as a regional rather than a local problem. It appears that the funding of this
type of facility is recognized by the Federal Granting Agency on the regional scale
and not on the local scale in order to eliminate duplication of service and of costs.
After discussion, Council decided that those consulting engineers which the Mayor has
talked with be invited to meet with the Council and discuss design, inspection and
fees, namely, Chin and Mayo; Harstad and Associates;Stevens, Thompson and Runyan.
Engineer Knobbs recommended that the Council indicate their feelings as favorable
toward the request of Sewer District #5.
Being 8:00 PM, Mayor declared the Hearing of the vacation of a portion of Sherman
Street open and requested anyone in the audience to speak for or against the proposed
vacation. Mr. and Mrs. Dyess, owners of the property abutting the portion rpoposed
to be vacated spoke both for and against the vacation. They stated that the vacation
should be upheld and that additional portions of both Sherman and Taylor Street be
included. They were informed that under Chapter 12.08 of the Municipal Code, there
would be compensation to the City required in the amount equal to z the appraised
value of the area vacated as determined by an independent and experienced appraiser
to be retained by the petitioners at their expense. On motion by Caldwell, seconded
by Geiger and carried, Council recessed the hearing until February 26, 1973, in order
that Mr. Dyess may prepare a petition for vacation of those additional streets, and
the Council will hear both the present petition for vacation as well as the petition
the Dyess's will present.
Councilman Monteith vacated his chair and seated himself in the audience and informed
the Council as a citized that during the last seven years his place of business has
been flooded seven times and that this is the last time he will tolerate this and that
the next time he will file an action against the City. Engineer Knobbs reported that
this has been happening for a great number of years and that it appears the only way
to eliminate the flooding during extreme high tides would be for the owners of those
buildings troubled with this, to raise the floors of their buildings. Engineer will
do further study on this problem.
On motion by Geiger, seconded by Caldwell and carried, Council approved the adoption
of Ordinance #902, declaring an emergency exists, and authorizing the sale of emer-
gency warrants in an amount not to exceed $6.000.00 to Arterial Street Fund for the
payment of a Sanitary Packer to provide for emergency egi�ipment for the collection
of refuse in order to preserve public health and safet-To
On motion by Van Zee, seconded by Grable and carried, Council approved and adopted
Ordinance #903, establishing salary schedule for the employees of the City of Port
Orchard for the year 1973 and repealing Ordinance #890.

On motion by Fulton, seconded by Grable and carried, Council apporved and adopted
Ordinance #904, creating a Federal Shared Revenue Fund.
Councilman Van Zee reported that the local ambulance at the scene of an accident
showed little help, since there was no first aid person, and there were nd.blahkets
available. Also that a woman in apparent shock was placed in the front seat of
the vehicle. Councilman Monteith stated that the City should get copies of other
City ordinances on regulation of ambulances. Attorney will send State Law to Clerk
and Clerk will request a copy of the City of Bremerton Ordinance.
Engineer reported that he would like to use trace -smoke in sewers and other lines
within the City this summer to locate those who are allowing their roof drains to
run through the sewer mains. It would be necessary to allocate funds from Revunue
Sharing as there are no funds available in the sewer fund. Councilman Fulton re-
ported that it would be foolish to authorize funds for this until the City has an
Ordinance setting up penalties and giving City authority to enforce same on private
property. Attorney will prepare an ordinace for the Council to consider.
Engineer reported that the #2 Worthington pump in the disposal plant is losing a
bearing and that the whole new assembly is needed. Recommended that the pump be
replaced with an Eaton pump which would cost about $3,500.00 and that there would be
a thirty day wait for delivery. Also an engine of the same kind now being used
could be obtained for about $500.00 and this could be installed in about two weeks.
On motion by Monteith, seconded by Caldwell and carried, Council approved the purchase
and installation of a new pump assembly of $500.00.
Councilman Van 'Lee reported that all three rooms of the Active Building have had
chair or table rails installed. Rooms #2 and #3 need painting badly and that some
chair carts are needed. Engineer stated that the mechanic, in his spare time, could
manufacture the carts and the Park man will paint the other two rooms this winter.
Also reported that the Junior Womens Club had 100 tulip bulbs which will be planted.
Councilman Monteith reported that the light on Mitchell, fronting the Helm residence
which was moved by Puget Sound Power and Light, should be moved back to the original
pole and that the arm should be extended out further into the street. Clerk instructed
to advise Puget Power. Also Councilman will submit to Clerk, list of those lights
that either need to be replaced or relocated. Reported that two on West and one at
West and Sroufe Street are out.
Attorney Walgren reported that negotations are still in progress on the repair bill
submitted by Steven Motors on the damaged police car.
Councilman Caldwell reported that the local National Guard Unit informed him that they
would like to participate in the control of traffic of both vehicles and pedestrians
during the parades and other activities when large groups of people collect. There
would be no charge as this is a public service. Matter referred to Police Committee.
Councilman Fulton reported that the covered meters served no purpose insofar as local
business is concerned, during the Christmas holidays, as the employees of the down-
town merchants were using the parking places all day and night. Because of this
misuse, the matter was referred to the Police Committee to study, taking into consider-
ation, parking, courtesy nickles and all other aspects of the problem.
Council, on request of Councilman Monteith and others present, took a moment of silent
prayer for the passing of ex -president Harry S. Truman.
Meeting adjourned at 9:50 on motion by Monteith, seconded by Grable and carried.

Mr. Lon Nickerson, owner of property in the area of the proposed extension of the Port Orchard
Blvd* asked the Council for their feelings toward the extension to SR 16* if the City is
not going ahead on this project, he would like to develop the thirteen acres into a mobile
home park or something of that nature. The City would take about 2'k acres of Mr. Nickerson's
property and Mr. Nickerson would sell the property to the City for a right of way at the
same price that he paid for it. Engineer reported that officials of the UAB will be visiting
here within a few weeks and at that time some indication may be given as to UAB allocations
for 1973. On a poll of the members of the Council present, as requested by Mr. Nickerson,
all members were of an affirmative feeling toward completing the extension as soon as funds
are available. Councilman Monteith stated the project could not be completed for at least
a year or maybe two as funds are all committed and there will not be any funds for matching
UAB contributions.
Chief Weatherill reported on the calls for the past few weeks. Also discussed the possibility
of installing the equipment for sprinkler alarm at a cost of approximately $1100,00, As
there seems to be little or no response from the business houses to connect with this service,

request such a service.

Chairman Caldwell of the Street and Alley Committee reported that the committee, in
reviewing the costs of snow and ice removal, came to the conclusion that there could
be a change in the methods which would result in considerable savings. The committee
recommended that there be less blading of snow and that with the new sander, spreading
sand is much faster, less overtime would be used. Instead of blading at the first

On motion by Geiger, seconded by Cadlwell and carried, Council approved the two above
requests.
Letter from Mrs. Mary Lieseke, relative to hearing with the Department of Public
Utilities and Transportation on the Point White landing and Fort Ward landing, read.
Mrs. Lieseke requested the City Council to assist her in any way possible with this
problem. The problem is that the County has closed the Point White Dock by reason
of it being unsafe and ready to fall down. The thirty some passengers that had been
picked up at that dock were shifted to the Fort Ward dock. The trip to Fort Ward
would take in excess of 55 minutes each way, thus eliminating the use of the large
boat at the Port Orchard run. Mrs. Lieseke claims that in addition to the run being
twice as far, it also is through hazardous water, ferry traffic and rocks. On motion
by Fulton, seconded by Caldwell and carried, Council approved the request and instructed
the Clerk to write to the parties concerned, stating the Cities interest and concern
and their complete support for Mrs. Lieseke.
Letter from Kitsap County Health Department (Joe Weigel, Director of Environmental
Health) read and noted. Text of letter was that the City is in violation of the terms

Claim of Delbert E. Ferguson in the amount of $35,000.00 and of Kay Doll in the amount
of $10,000.00 rejected and referred to insurance carrier on motion by Van Zee, seconded
by Grable and carried.
Proposed ordinance amending Municipal Code, Section 15.12.010 and adopting Uniform
Fire Code read for first reading.
Attorney informed Council that there is no latitude in the statutes to allow partial
"in Lieu of assessment" charges, and that the charge should be assessed to all the
property under ownership. Also informed Council that if they so desire, it is in their
province to institute a policy such as this, but they should be careful of setting
precedence. The above resulted from the request of the Port Orchard Yacht Club for
sewer hookup to their property but only having to pay the "in lieu of assessment" on
only a portion of the property. On motion by Van Zee, seconded by Grable and carried
that the matter be tabled at this time until further study can be made.
There will be a work session of the Council at 8:00 P.M. at the Council Chambers at.
the City Hall on Wednesday, November 29, 1972 on the 1973 budget.

protection must be included to protect the public, such as a steel roof, fire wall or
erection of a two story building. Mayor referred the matter to the Fire & Light Committee
who will work with the Building Inspector and Fire Marshal. Mr. Shiers also reported
that negotiations have been completed with the renter and plans have been prepared.
Mr. John Noble, representing Robinson, Roberts and Associates, Consulting Engineers, gave
Council a brief summary of their report to the City relative to the use of surface water

proposal would be less expensive and a better product. Mayor stated that a decision by the
Council would probably be forth -coming at the meeting of March 27th, 1972.
Mr. Arthur Mikelsen presented a map of the Garden Grove Plat approved by the Council, read
the covenants of the plat and requested Council to assist the property owners within the
plat to eliminate the use of Lot 5 as a street extension of the cul-de-sac. Mr. Farrell
Hunsaker has purchased a lot behind and outside of the plat and has erected a duplex on the
lot, and is using Lot 5 of Garden Grove as ingress and egress. Mr. Mikelsen asked why
Mr. Hunsaker should not use the easement from South Flower Street to the back lot, as
this is now being used for the water main to the property. Attorney Gary Sexton stated
that there may be a violation of the zoning laws, and that it appears not to be a City
problem, but one of civil nature. The parking in Lot 5 may be a violation, but the use as
a driveway would be no violation. Matter referred to Street and Alley Committee with
Attorney also giving additional guidance on the problem.
Matter of excess water bill of Mrs. Stella Paxton in amount of $27.20 referred to Water,
Sewer and Health Committee.

information will be forthcoming from the Air Pollution Board until their next meeting
on April 12, 1972.
Attorney reported that R.C.W. 35.24.100 establishes the boundaries for declaration
of vacancy by the Council, and it would appear that passing an ordinance with restrictions
other than those set forth, would be without authority. Councilman Monteith requested
the Attorney, to acquire definite opinion from the Attorney General's Office as to the
City's authority to pass a resolution which would apply only to this City. On motion by
Monteith, seconded by Geiger and carried unanimously, Council declared Louis Molzahn
as being unexcused fronthis meeting. R.C.W. 35.24.100 states as follows: "If a member

the City lighting system with inventory of existing light fixtures, showing size, type and
making recommendations as to changes needed to update the system. On motion by Monteith,
seconded by Caldwell and carried, Council approved the updating of street lights

They will be centered over Sidney Avenue at each crosswalk. Monteith reported the additional
monthly cost would be $1.00 per fixture.

with the Port be completed, seconded by Van Zee and carried. Monteith and Geiger opposed.
