May 26, 1969 Page Three Acting City Engineer Hendricks gave addhtional details on the extent of the repairs necessary to restore the sewage treatment plant to service. Mr, Hendricks also reported on the recent problems with silt in the City water supply. This was caused by the need for operating the well -head pump on well #6, which stirred up accumulated silt in the reservoir. Chief of Police Dow directed the attention of those present to the newly installed mercury vapor area light illuminating the area between Kitsap Street and the front of the police station. This area is now brightly lighted. Chief Dow read two letters from traffic speed violators both for the same offense and issued by the same officer, one complaining bitterly that she was unlawfully cited and the other apologizing for breaking the law and complimenting the officer on his attitude and conduct. Chief Dow presented a proposal for the beautification of the area in front of and on each side of the entrance to the police station. This project would be in line with the „nautical" motif of the proposed improvements to the downtown area, and would be quite decorative.

Mayor Rep&nich reported on a meeting on 5-21-69 including mayors, law enforcement officers and others involved re: the State Attorney General's recently announced policy on gambling tolerance and associated matters. It appears that almost every city will wait results of a State Supreme Court decision before taking any action. Chairman Mikelsen of Water, Sewer, Health and Sanitation Committee reminded the Council of the need to approve adoption of summer water consumption schedules. Moved by Mikelsen, seconded by Powers that the summer water consumption schedules be adopted per Ordinance No. 667, as amended by Ordinance No. 816, effective for June, July, August and September. Approved, Councilman Geiger re -presented the problem of the condition of road into the Knights of Pythias cemetery from Sunset Lane Road, (reported in minutes of 5-12-69). The maintenance and repair of this road is apparently not the responsibility of any person or group and is badly in need of work. Discussed briefly and determined that this should not be done by the City, since it would set a very undesirable precedent. Councilman Geiger also reported on the existence of a yellow "No Parking" none in front of Gilchrist Funeral Home. It appears that there is sufficient room for parking one car in this space. Determined that this yellow zone should be painted out, Mr. Geiger also reported on a study of parking problems which exist in front of the Police and Fire Department areas (reported in minutes of 5-12-69). He proposes a complete revamp- ing of the parking in the off-street area involved, as well as establishing Limited parking on north side of Kitsap Street west of Prospect Street, and on both sides of Prospect Street from Kitsap Street to the alley.
