R January 8, 4940 The meeting was called to order with I44yer Hanks and all Councilmen present. The minutes of the previo-i_s meeting Mere read and approved as read. The .ayor opened the meeting by stating that those who were in public office were always subject to a certain amount of criticism and that we Must all expect that to be the case. He stated that an old :matter that had been previous- ly t&,--en up by the Council and disposed of had now been raised to :question his financ>al credit in the Town, the sarna being a lumber bill tha,t'the Lumber Supply -Company claimed against L.he Town for lu:rbcr purchased by Harley Dorton when he was living in the house on the i;air !rounds. There was a general discussion of this old bill and Dean Uorlias stated that before Harley Vorton left the Fair Grounds bui'ding he agreed that he personally owed the bill to the Lumber Supply and that he would take care of the same, and he asked that he might be allowed tc live in the house belonging to the Town a sufficient length of time to warrant his paying for this bill. Councilman Cline stated that when she bill first carte up he had investigated the matter and found that it was a personal bill. of 555 Harley Norton and not a bill of the Town. Councilman Corliss then moved that a letter bo written t4 Mr. Myhre of the Lumber Supply asking him to bring this bill to the Council at the next regular meeting and be present to explain the circumstances concerning this bill. Motion carried with all Councilmen voting i in favor thereof. fCouncilman Cosbey then brought up the fact that there had been numerous complaints on the part of the people of the Town in regard to the practice of some of the merchants in 'Town displaying; their merchandise on the sidewalks rather than in the store and that due to the numerous compiaints he felt the Council shou'.d'take some action on the matter. In a general discussion all Councilmen stated that there had been complaints made in regard to this practice. j Councilman Cline then made a motion that a notice be sent to those merchants who were conducting their business.in this manner informing them that due to the n-u.merous complaints it would be necessary for the City to require them to discontinue this practice. !lotion carried with all Councilmen voting in favor thereof. Councilman Cline then called the Councils attention to the fact that there was a smoke stack on the plant operated by Kay Phillips that because of its length was causing the smoke to blow into the windows of the nearby buildings. Council -man Corliss loved the matter be referred to Al Totten, the Fire Chief, jto be investigated and taken care of by him. k Dean Corliss then stated to the Council tia.t the water meter in back of Howls building was found to have been partia.ily disconnected, ar-d the water was leaking from the meter down into the bui-;.ding, a comment which led to a general discussion of other acts of vandalism throughout the Town. The -'=ayor then called for a public hearing on quest St. LID No. 45. There were no objections`to the final account, and it was duly moved and carried that the ordinance approving the same be pas<>1:d by the Council. The Council then set the date of vebruary 13, 1940, as the day for the final hearing of the Ada Street 'Hater Main, LID No. 46. The '!ayor then read a letter from Clifford Hoof, attorney at law, ,in regard to the proposed street on the Northern side of the 'Town. A petition for the laying of a water main on Nest Street was referred to the engineer.

A motion was tf-ien duly made, seconded and carried that the salary schedule as proposed in the Bud et for 1940 be ap."rovea �:.nd adopted by the Council. Wayor Hanks then exp?--ined to the Council that the question of a Town sewer had again been :revived, and that he had no objections to such a project if if it were possible to complete Uuch a project for a reasonable 4_xpense to the property holders involved. He called upon !.,Tiles To,,,rer, the engineer, to e�,plain the possible cost of such a project. R-7r. Tower stated that a sewer project ample -for the needs of the Town of Port Orchard could be constructed at a cost of between fifty and sixty thousand dollars if WFA labor were used and of approxi- 557 i mately seventy-five thousand dollars if done by private contract. Lotion was duly made, seconded and carried for adjournment. I James o,. Town CTerk n s, -1ayvr r_� r v January SG, 1 40 1 The meeting w4s called to order with IMayor Hunks and Co icilmen Cline, Corliss, Thcnipson and Hill present. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved aZ read. The Clerk read a letter from the Lumb r Supply in regard to lumber supplied -to Harley Norton a6d used on the park property. There was a general discussion of the merits of this bill. Councilman Corliss moved that the correspondence i from Pqr. 1� Thre of the Lumber :•supply be filed in the records of the Clerk's i office. Motion carded with all voting in favor thereof. The question f a water main on Wiest Street was brought up for discussion and it wai called tq the Council's attention that the Kitsap Courty Bank would not carry the warrants on that project for the reason that the amount of assessments now aganst the property were deemed by the bank to be as great as the value there could stara. Mr. Reid stated that it was necessary to carry the water mains thrqugh in order to .ive a circulation of water and eliminate the dead ends but t4a,t he did not favor bringing the :Hain down ud�st Street as it would increase tl e amount that each property holder had in the Lots to such an extent thatlit did not seem pos6ibie that tLiey would get the money back. Mir. Tower stated that the Pacific later Viorks Supply Company would carry the warrants on the project if it were approved. Dean Corliss moved that the matter be postponed ifor one week in order that he mi­hL find out whether or not the warrants could ne sold. !!r. Reid began speaking_; to the Council ana called their attention to the fact that the WPA workers were very careless in ther scattering of lunch papers, banana peelings, etc. on the private property adjoining t-e projects, and that they had removed a stove and some shakes from his property without replacing the sa�n. Mr. Radey appeared before the Council ar:d*as_�_ed if he could have an estimate on the cost, of openir- and grading Radey Street. It was exp"Lained to ,r. Radey that the City had no means of doin: the work without creatin- a Local Improvement District, out that Mr. Toyjer woui d give him an estimate as to the cost per Foot of such a project. Councilman Thompson stated that Jack Northey and Ernie Cole would like to have parkin; spaces 'reserved for them along side of the Town Library, and that Mr. Cole would be w4lin;g to have the posts that forinerly protected the fire hydrant 'burnt off if he would be permitted to park there. A discussion followed 558 in which it was indicated that R"r. Cole could use the pa.rkin.i splice a few months, rent free, and that at a subsequent time the Council would issue him a permit for the use of that, a ace. Councilman Clir:e mace a motion tilat the par min- spaces be set aside to rtr. Cole and the Marshall. The Council then set the date for the final hearing of Cline ,street LID No. 42 and Ada Street & Pleasant Avenue LID No. 44, LID No. 4,: to be hears or iebruary 26 and LID Pao. rizi to be heard on Lurch llth. Carl Carlson appeared before the Council and asked if the Town .ere interested in selling the property known as the old !own Park. After a general discussion Councilman Corliss moved that the Clerk advertise a call for bids for the property stating in the call th..t a roadway au oss tie sarne be reserved fOr in,L,ress and egress to the MAnley property. The r"ayor read a letter from the Department of Health on the sewer system and stated that we had been receiving; such letter: for 'years, and that he fa -ored a sewer system if it was desirt-d by the majority of the people and could be installed for a price the people could affora to pay. Councilman Hill stated that there was obvious needs for a sewer system in tf-.e Town and that an effort should be maae to have oneinsta-lled. Gounci2.man Cor iss stags that there were three projects that he considered of primary importance tr-Lat s"llo._ ld be installed at this time of they could all be worked out to -ether, t-.e one was a new str-et on the Morth side of the Town, the second is the new sever system and ttie third is the improve::gcnt of the Town Perk with the installation of li-hts. there was a long discussion on the merits of these various projects during which discussion the ;Mayor sug;ested that the building of a new !own hall be included with the other three as there was._,:reat need for improvements on that line. In the --eneral discussion of these project_, was brought out the fact that there are le, -al questions that remain, unsolvea which must be determined before the nuestion of financin the projects can be seLt:.ed. It was revealed that a letter had bier written to the Attorney Generwl askin, the Attorney eneral if it •:ere possible for a ,ovn of this class to build a street such as the one we Conte-,mplated and create an LID to fill the lowlands lyin__; between Bay 6tr ,ct and ;sunset Aven. e. The Clerk statea to the Council that a reaain of the statutes in re. a.rn to the creation of LID's for the fillin of lowlands limited such districts to Cities of the lot, 2nd and 3rd class and did not mention Towns or Cities of the 4th class, and that it was a general rule of statutory interpretation that when certain definite things :-re mentioned in the statute that it precludes the bringing within the statute of those things which are not mentioned, and that as Cities of the /Ith class were not mentioned in the statute providing for the filling of lowlands by an LID it would appear as thouSh that riy;ht did not exist. The Clerk stated, however, that he dial not claim to know all the answers on these things and that lawyers had a habit of disagreeting with each other ana that the 559 Clerk could be wrong and someone else right on the matter. He stated further that, in his opinion, before any warrants were issued for engineering costs for a preliminary survey of the location of the proposea street that common ousiness judgement dictated that the legal possibilities be first determined. The Mayor brought up the question of purchasinL, a new dump truck for the Town, and while it 'as the general opinion of the Council that the truck•should be purchased, the ma,tuer was allowed to stand until the deal could be worked out with the owner of the truck. There was a discussion of the amount of power used for the pump house, and Mx. Dingle of ,the Pet Sound Power & Light Company stated that the meter had been tested by the State and found to be in good workic order and to be accurate.

It vial there decided to return the !-nonev to she mcmberE of the original 3card with the uncaerstanding I­ -1 567 that it would be used to put new wire on the �,randstand. l NTr. Campbell of the State Health Department appeared before the Council and tallzied in regard to the Town Sewer Project. He stated that in 1951 the State Legislature passed a lacy allowin€; fourth class towns to install sewer s; stems upon a rental basis. He said that there were two other methods of ;_paying for a sewer system., oi18 was b means of `;en:ral obli{ration bonds against the whole Town and that the other was by issuing utility bonds against the project. He stated that the most satisfactory arrargement was a combination of ,eneral obligation and utility bonds. Ike called the Councils attention to the fact that while the State Flealth Departraent had the power to order a server system for a city they had never been forced to do that with the exception of one case. Generally the towns have all adopted a proposition without the necessity of the State taking any action vahen the facts vtere all presented to the people. He also stated that the Town water supply was imperiled at the present time by r:;ason of the fact that the drain which. comes down the gulley from the courthouse run in a concrete culvert past the artesian sells, and that there have been a number of cases on record where the seepage from the concrete culverts has found its way to the s.)urce .of the vaater. He rocommended that the concrete -be placed' with .a different kind of pipe to insure against the contamination of the Town's water supply. The Mayor assured ILr..Cam.pbell that the Town would certainly take every necessary step to protect the water supply if the same were in danger. Harry Hill stated that he felt that r75% of. the people . in the Town f°av,�red the installation of a sewer s .-stem. James Patti son said that he felt it veld be necessary for the engineer to brie;,all the facts to the p-loole if the sewer project were to be. put across, that' there had been a r,reat deal of mis-information in re Bard to the project on the other occasion and that the project, should not be attempted with- out the public being fully informed as to all the details. Dean Corliss vvas of the opinion that the Town should make application to the R.F.C. for all the money that would be needed to carry out the various projects conterrpu- ad by the Town, and that after the: application had been made the projects could be taorked out and the money either accepted or refused as the Town desired. Mayor i n'.­! stated that he was off.' the same opinion now as "e, had alvta:ys been in re Bard to a Town sevaer, that if the majority- of the people wonted it and it could be gut in at a reasonable cost on some sati,�fact©ry plan, he would 'avor the project. The Clerk directed the Council' s attention to the fact that the Puget Sound Pourer ::: Lig�it Co. had presentee an application contract for comr,ercial electric light service to the Clerk to ',a .signed and that he had refuseu to sign it until authorized to do so by the Council. It was duly moved, seconded and carried that the Clerk sign the application on behalf of the Town. The question of the water line to �3rownie Hall's property was again brought up for discussion. Lean Corliss stated that he had been informed that Mr. Jackson had put in the water line at his oven expense an,61 for that reason the 568 Town should not be required_ to replace the line at this; time as it vas a private- ly o,jned line and the inc.i.vicuals shoulddil be required to maintain those lines at their own expense. There was then a 1-7.i ;cussion of the iibrUry Board, and Lean Corliss stated tnat he was a mer -er of the Boar(. an that tnerc rac been no appoint- rnents made to the same ^ir.ce the time that lied Givens eras 1.a;ror and ap ,_)ointed Leila iuor- `:;,r. He named the otacr members of the Board at the ;resent time as toeing 1 r. logu.e, Marc. Fi. h. Wilson, 1,rs. Ed and himself. It -�tias decided t�iat more inif orination irrould be obtained in re;rar� to the 'board ' efore any now a;_ v,oint- rents were made. The Clerk ac;ain called the Council) s attention to the fact that the doh, tapes for the ,-ear 1940 would have to be levied and collected. He sug,;,ested that the _;eople be notified that the tad-s ,were obtainal)1e at the Cl office .nd that if they were not ;our,ht by the cay �_:esignated in the orc.1nance that it would. '-,e necessary for the 1011arshal to Dick u;) all the unli.censeC doss. After a general discussion it was duly moved, seconded and carried that such a system be ado;)ted. 1,: r. Tower, the 'i- i_neer, state. that he had inquired as to the cost I of a Master iJeter and fo-1_nd that one could be purchas ,,d for a sum ranging � from %100.00 to "�300.00 and that r_e was of the opinion that by purchasinE such a meter the 'Down mi ;ht be a-0le to eTfect a saving in the cost of pumping i water. The question of ;>urchasing- a is aster `Aeter was r °ferxled to the Water Committee with the under_;tar_-ding that they zvoul`. octa . n from various cities i of comparable size inforr.lation in re ;arc to the advantages of such a meter. `there was a long discussion of the VV'?A question resultin , from thlat fact tha'; the Town not have any funds with which to employ an en,- ineer to super:vise the VV?A le,:_.or. It was decided that the Council would not approve anyr more ui_ds from the Street De :art_ ert to be used for er__;i.neering p;urposes unless es,)ecially authorized in a6vance. George 'livens was directed to act as the To;vn Sponsoring; Agent; in charge of the work unti_ I such time as some change in the s°;,stem can be effcc;ted. The question. of �,:,Izether or not the Town would 1­on.struct a concrete sidewalk at the foot of Sidney Street between the Olderness property and the Andreas I)ro-)erty and a sidewalk between the Co�ien property and the -akey propert:, at the foot of "�rcderick Street was brought up for di ;c:ission an" bath projects vrere dispensed tv:it l until such time as it could U, rietermi.ned whether or .,ot the new street was z�oin,t, to be constructed at t'rxe North sine of the Town. 569 N) i The following; bills were read and a..:j-)roved and warrants ordered drawn therefore. r G E ' PAL YU11 D Pac.

Sid Dean explained to the Council that the WPA had difficult- in finding enoug ht meh to carry on the various projects in the County at this period of the year and that it ,,,ould be to their advantage to withdraw; the labor from the Town for a few months and complete the j projects now on hand when the la;.Jor was more l)ler_tiful. He also stated that f they did not consider the grades established by the Engineer for the Kitsap Street gutter as satisfactory for the reason that. they did not match the grade of Sidney Hill. The Clerk explained to h1r. Dean that the Kitsap Street Proje ct was a L)cal Improvement District which had issued a large number of ti^farrsnts that were drawing interest and would continue uravving; interest until the project was completed.

The various members of the Council expressed themselves as �,ein.g of the same opinion. Mr. Dean then explained that the.T were desirous of doing; the work in a manner j that would be saitsfactory to the :)eopl.e of the Town and that he would complete j - the Kitsap Street project as soon as the question of the grades was determined.

The matter was called to the attention of George Givens, the Street Superintendert. Reverend Moen appeared before the Council and stated that the Lutheran Church was making some improvements and he wanted the Council to approve � I 587 of the steps that had been taken by the church in regard to these improvements. It was explained to the Council that the improvements in no way affected the Town adversely andthe matter was referred to the Street & Alley Committee. George Cline reported to the Council that the Fire Alarm System had been"installed in accordance with the Council's sintructions to the ?ire Committee. i Harry Hill stated that there was a dangerous situation on DeKalb Street where the telephone lines and the power lines were allowed to cross over each other. The Council decided that the Clerk should write a letter to the telephone company in regard to this matter. A hearing was held on the Kitsap Street LID, and it was explained to those present that the proj:;ct could be completed by private contract at a per foot cost of 400; or thereabouts, for labor with an additional cost for engineering. There was but one objection to the completion of the project, James Pattison com,daining that the project was costing too much already and that he was apposed to the increase. The Council decided to let a contract for the comple- tion of the LID and:the bids were then opened for the labor completing the LID. There was but one bid, being the bid of L. C. Wiseman who agreed to perform all _ the labor necessary! for the completion of the project at a rate of 41� per foot. All bills were ordered paid with the exception of the bill of Miles Tower in the sum of'$22.50 for work on the Kitsap Street LID. Pao. Tel. & Tel. Co, Boyd Harmon H, G. Buscher A. A. McTavish Pao.

The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved as read. The meeting opened with an explanation by the Mayor that the new stove in the Town Hall was a donation from the Mayor to the Town of Port Orchard. He explained that it was a stove which he had bought for his office that was no longer being used because it had been replaced by an oil burner. In giving it to the Town he said that lie was doing so in return for the high salary which he received and the free phone which the Council had so generously awarded to him. (The Mayor receives no salary from the City as it is a non -salaried pos- ition and in distributing the free phones to the various city departments the Mayor's office was riot included.) The Clerk explained that after reading all'. -the Ordinances in regard to the Clerk and City Attorney's salary he was of the opinion that the Ordin- ances as they now strand only awarded attorney's fees in the cases where delin- quent LID warrants viere foreclosed, and for that reason he was cancelling, the warrant that had been drawn in his favor. The Mayor stated that if the City Attorney desired any compensation for his work on the Park's case and would tender a bill for tie same that he would favor the payment, to which statement the City Attorney replied that he desired no compensation for the trial of the action. Dean Corliss reported that he had investigated the work which had been done by the Lutheran Church and that he was of the opinion that it could not be sanctioned by the °"Jity, and he had su_;gested to the interested parties the correct method of mar'.ing their improvements and that he did not believe the records should show that the Town approved of the work as it had been done, to which the Council agreed. The Council then decided to prohibit parking on the lforth side of Prospect Street adjacent to the Sidney Street intersection in order that a clear view might be had of traffic at that intersection. There was a discussion of the failure of the buses to stop in the space set asi•e for them. The Clerk was directed to write a letter to each of the companies informing them that the space must be used by the muses or the Town would require the companies to obtain space for a bus station in the Town. Mr. Kearney appeared before the Council and asked if something could be done about the gutter at the intersection of DeKalb and Sidney Streets. He was informed by George Givens that the matter could in his opinion be corrected. Motion was made that: the matter be referred to the Street & Alley Committee with power to act. Motion was duly carried. There was then a discussion of the fact that there were still certain E trees on the parking strip on Kitsap Street which would have to be removed. The Council then rei-affirmed its former postition that all trees would have to be removed. A motiion was duly made, seconded and carried that the Clerk inform the Kitsap Street property owners that it would be necessary to have the trees i removed. i The Clem presented to the Council the preliminary Budget for the year 1941 and a Regolution was duly adopted adopting the preliminary Budget and ordering the same to be published for two successive weeks. All bills were ordered paid with the exception of Pearson & Crawshaw's bill in the sum of $5.00. BILLS Puget Sound News Co. LIBRARY FUND book KITSAP ST. LID NO. 43 Miles L.

CouzAlmen Corliss, Cline, Dill and Thompson present. The meeting opened with the introduction of J. B. Bogert of Gig Harbor who asked for permission to do conduct some rooster races in the Town of Port Orchard. After hearing the matter explained to them the Council duly pass- ed a motion permitting Mr. Bogert to proceed with the races provided they were sponsored by a local organization. The Mayor read a letter .from the Highway department in regard to the highway improvement to the fact that the Highway department was of the opinion that the project was worthwhile as a local venture but that it did not have very much importance to any other part of the state that they were without funds at this time to construct such a project and as the law stood today they were without authority to do so. The Council then discussed the matter for which the meeting had been 590 called, namely, the question of submitting to the voters of the Town a proposition of whether or not they desired the Council to initiate a sewer project. sifter a general discussion of the question in which each Councilman and the Mayor ex- pressed his opinion a motion was duly made, seconded and carried that the matter be presented to the voters at the next general election in such a manner -as to authorize the Council to issue approximately 4801,000.00 in Bonds, approximately 1/3 of which would be LID Bonds and the remainder to be revenue bonds. Motion was -then duly made, seconded and carried for adjournment. Hanks, Mayor September 23, IP40 The meeting viacalled to order with iriayor Banks a/nd Councilmen Cline, Thomps ,n and Hall. present. Flora L. Forsythe, Deputy Town Clerk., took the minutes in t'qe absence of the Clerk. The minutes of the previous meeting; and of the special meeting of September 16th were read and approved as read. The meeting opened with Mr. Brown, a representative of the 1`1ashington Pirotor Coach Company, appearin, as a resuilt of a Iptter received by him frog; the Towr Clerk notwf,ying 'aim of the failure of the buses to stop in the loading zones set off for them by the 'town and informing him that unless the buses used these ,zones in the future the Town would require the bus companies to obtain a space to be used as a bus station. Brown state,: that a.:`ter recei vinIg the letter from t'r_:e Clerk ne �iad contacted the bus drivers and had been inf orme 1 by them ttiat in most cases there were cars parked in the bus zone at the time the buses arrived and departed. He stated further that he would be U'lad to issue instructions to the drivers that under no consideration if the zones were open should they fail to stop in them, and in the event that there were cars parked in the bus zone to take their licer_se numbers and turn the same over to the City Cour_cil for action. h general disc ::sue €on followed in the course of which Councilman i'. fi. Thompson stated thia,t he felt that the Town parkin`; p7°olem nad reacher a point now tirhere we could not afford to set off 80 feet of parkinf, space for a vus stop and he thought the companies should be required to rent a space at some place off the main street where traffic ,:could not be impaired, whereupon !ti'ia,yor Hanks pointed out that the pus has to stop on the main street somewhere to carry the mail to the Post Office. Councilmen Hill and Cline were of the opinion that it was essential that the Town have some moans of transportation at a point in the Town easily accessible to the citizens, and they felt that -tae present system was satisfactory if the load- ing zones were used a;_, tliey should be. Councilman Cline moved that the bus zones oe left as tGiey are -with the Town erforcin,, the use of them by the buses. Motion was seconded by Councilman Hill and carried with Councilmen Cline and Hill voting in f a�or thereof. Georg@ Qivens reported that the -,utter at the intersection of De Kalb and 6idney Street' about which T,Ir. Kearney had complained at the previous meet- ing had been fixed. Mayor clanks complimented the Street & Alley Committee on the prompt and efficient way in which it functioned. I,,":ayor Hanks called for a report on the pro ;Tess of thw work on the _�itsap Street LID.. Engineer Miles Tower informed the Council_ that the work was being corrlpleted faster with the four men now working on it than at any time previous. He also reported that there was a strip of approxi-mately 36 feet at the intersection of Harrison and Kitsap Streets near Dr. Baldwin's property where sidwalks should be layed. It was pointed out that the oogt of this extra work could not be charged to the Kitsap Street LID because it was a district created for the laying of.curbs and gutters only. Miles Power stated that to complete the work in concrete would cost appro:Aimately $1.50 per foot. Councilmen Hill and Thompson were of the opinion that if it was on City property the City should stand the cost of putting it in. Councilman Cline stated that if we had suffi- cient funds with which to do the work it should be done. Councilman Thompson r;ade a motion that the present contractor, L. C. Wiseman of Bellevue, W s1aington, be authorized to complete this work (approximately 36 feet) in concrete for the City at a cost not to eXceed 41.50 per foot. lotion carried with all voting in favor thereof. The Clerk was instructed to write a letter to Mr. Wiseman in- forming him of the Council's decision. It was pointed out by Mayor Hanks that the trees in front of Harry Howe's place had not been removed along with the trees of the other property owners along Kitsap Street, and he reminded the Engineer that they must come out. The Engineer explained that Mr. Howe had asked to have the trees left until the week -end so that he could remove them himself to another location. Mayor Hanks state,, that some time ago he and Councilman Thompson had testified on behalf of the 3remerton-Tacoma Stagc Lines in helping; them secure a franchise to carry passengers from Long Bay, Vaughn and other points to ?Urdy with the understanding that the residents from that section toward Port Orchard ' and Bremerton, but to date .such a connecting service had not been started. The Clerk was instructed to write a letter to the company asking them what was causing; the delay. Councilman Cline brought up the question as to whether or not it 1Ajas �. more economical to'have just one man for both the water and the street depart- ments, stating that he had noticed that provision had been mace in the preliminary budget for only one man. The Deputy Town Clerk stated that to date it had proven much cheaper to have one man. at the head of both departments with the authority to hire help when needed. Councilman Cline stated that he felt the present 592 Superintendent had so much work to do that he couldn't take care of it, and that he had ..ad complaints come in to him. that certain work was not bein,r done on the streets. 1,11ayor Hanks stated that it was tyie duty of Councilman "Cline to report to the Super-- intenrler.t any complaints that mi �ht be made, and he stated further that all complaints which had come to his office had been taken care of promptly the Superintendent was notifies of the saw_e„ I2;layor Hanks al::o stated that he fl_et it was quite satisfac- t-Dry to be able to hire men for a short period of time and tnan let them 1 o when they are no longer neesed. Furt'ner discussion on the subject was deferred until the first in. Oc tob :r wrien the hearin on the udr;et will be hel 1. The bill of Pearson %x !,'rawshaw which had been held up at the previous meeting, was passed w"-en it was explained that the work had) been done in connection with the laying of the sidewalk for the 'town in front of the Town Hall. There was a short d:'_sc fission in, regard to the proposed sewer system. It was exolair_ed that the proposed '�28,000 in LID Ponds woul" be paid off over a period of ten years by each lot in Town. including the lots now vacant, and that the proposed tii-52, 000 in Heverue T)'onds woul:_ be mid off over a period o:' twenty p years by a monthly service charge to each water user. Gou-ncilman Thompson stated that he understood the service charge in Poulsbo for their sewer system eras �:1.'75 per month, and he felt that that was far too much. City Engineer Tower stated that he thought the charges would run approximately 4j 1.00 per month for the first five years with a possible reduc- tion to 60(/ for the neat five Years and possibly 25/ or 35,1 ,:hereafter. ,,ayor hanks stated that it was the duty of the Couneilran to do wha-t they Felt was the nest thing : ut the ?NIa,yor ,lrould remain ne.)tral. A. R. Cruikshank, speakin3� for himself and rlarold Hanley, reopened f-34_s- cussion on the preliminary budget by stat:in that Ino felt the Marshall was not re- ceiving a nigh enough salary. 1-_e stated that it was impossible for the Tiarshall to keep up a car an'. cover his terr'.tor.y properly on the salary he now received.

The meeting was opened with a discussion of the parking on Bay Street. i Ross Watt stated th,4t he had had a number of persons come to him who had refused to pay the fines assessed against them for parking in the bus zones and he asked what should be done ,in regard to them. A general discussion followed in which it was decided to ask the state highway Department to make a traffic survey of the Town of Port Orchard: with a view toward relieving the traffic problem confronting the Town. It was also decided that the !v"arshal should continue to give out parkinf; tickets to those who park in the bus zones and that the cases could be held at a later date:. It was also decided to place a traffic officer on duty for certain hours during; the daytime in an effort to stop the parking on Bay Street. There was then a discussion of the amount to be allowed the Marshal for gas and oil for his automobile. After some discussion it was decided as a temporary measure to",allow Jack Northey �15.00 a month for gas and oil. A motion was then duly passed to have the Town of Port Orchard again join the Association of Washington Cities. Two changes were ordered made in the preliminary budget before it is 594 finally adopted. It was `iecided to take i 1000.00 from the miscellaneous funds in the water departtnent and add it to the money budgeted for material, supplies, etc., and to take W1.000.00 from the miscellaneous funds in the street department and and it to the funds scat aside for supplies, material, etc. The bud, -,et -vas teen fi-n_ally aciopted as c itered. tY;otion way; duly ma e, seconded and carried for adjournment. a�rtes 1' unro, ,oti°gin __e� --- L. x. �ian :Y_ Mayor l 4100000 October 1 , 1940 The meeting was called- to order with Dlayor Hanks and Councilmen Corliss, Cosbey and Cline present„ `i'he rneetiYig was opened by the iiliayor tellii.- of a ce agar who is setting up a place of bLasiness w _thin the Town wit4iout hirir-, a hall. Tir. hanks said tl.:;at he hac: no personal objection_ to the person on the streets but he felt that the man was rnal,ing such a regular occurrence of the matter that it should be called to the Councills attention. Rev. Gillespie appeared before the Council and o.:jected to the re- lirio•as treetin ;s that vie:i e being held on the streets of Port Orchard by a g roup oi' people. He stated that the ':usinessmen in the Town and ot'r?er ministers ;enerall,; o.. ;ected i�o this type of reli ious meeting; for the reason that it cast a reflection on the legitimate churches of the Town. liayor Hanks stated that he had considered t:-As matter Por a lor`-; time but was unable to corre to any definite conclusion .in .-egard to the same. The various Councilmen expressed their views on the gryuestion ar_d all were of the opinion that such meetings s'zould ce discoura led.

Janie's Munro, Town Clerk Dean Corliss, c ing Mayor SPECI aL MEETING The meeting was called to orcler ,rith Councilmen Corliss, Cline, Hill, Cosbey and Thompson present. Mayor Hanks explained to the Council that the meeting had been called to discuss the Seiler Project. He said that the people had voted for a Sevier and it would be necessary for the Council to direct its attention to the project. It was important, he said, tLiat the Council should not attempt to stwll or delay the installation of the Sevier nor should- they too readily rush into the work of constricting the system without first considerinE all the pos- sible questions that were :involved in connection with the Sewer project. The various Councilmen discussed the question of the Mayor's office and whether or not T41r. Hanks should again be a candidate for that po- sition. It the unanimous opinion of the Councilmenthat it was very im- portant that 1dr. Hanes should remain as Ilayor at trAs time. It was felt by the Councilmen that the time whie'n, he had riven to the City in the past and -is great interest in the City made him well fitted to act as Mayor for the comirg term. Miles Tovo,er, in discussing the Sewer project, stL:.ted that he would require an ervineer's fee of ?% of the cost of the project with a guarantee of $4,500 as a minimum.

There was a long discussion of this question during which time it was recognized by 'the Council that angle parking was contrary to the State Law as it is now written. It was the consensus of opinion, however, that the dangers of angle parking were not as great as the existing, situation where the amount of double parking in the Town was too great for the Town Marshal to handle. It was the view of the Council that unless the Town were allowed to return to angle parking it would be necessary to give up the task of attempting to control the traffic on the highway and leave the whole matter in the hands of the State Patrol. Harry Hill made a motion that commencing at 6:30 the following morning the Town should return to the system of angle parking, formerly used. The motion was seconded by Rex Thompson end carried with all Councilmen voting in favor of the same. Rex Thompson then made a motion that the taverns be allowed to remain open, in aceordance with State rules, on New Years Eve. Motion was seconded by Dear Cor:lies.and carried with all Councilmen voting in favor of the same. Councilman Cosbey brought up the question of the LID charges, against his property for the Kitsap Street curb. and gutter. The matter was 4eferred until the return of the Town Engineer. The question of the changing of certain lights in Town and haviw � certain poles removed was referred to the Light Committee, of which George Cline is Chairman, to be reported back at the next meeting. The Bills were then read and approved with the exception of a e#arge to the Kitsap Street LID which the Council wanted to have investi- gated and the clai4 of Kitsap County for election charges was approved sub- ject to be confirmed by the Clerk, if found to be correct.
