city effort is to be reimbursed by community organizations, governmental entities, individuals, and/or
businesses, and

without an undue expense to those events, now, therefore,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PORT ORCHARD DOES HEREBY
RESOLVE THE FOLLOWING:
SECTION 1. Unless specifically authorized in writing by the Mayor, no employee
shall use city equipment or materials for non-city purposes.
SECTION 2. The following community events are deemed to have benefit to the city
at large and support tourism into the city, and thus may be supported by city personnel. Under the
direction and control of the Mayor or his designated department director, without requiring reimbursement
of expenses:
(1) Fathoms 0' Fun Parade
(2) Fathoms 0' Fun Fireworks
(3) "Cruz"

support that event. If applicable, sales tax will be applied to these expenses, the city fringe benefits shall
be 100% of the direct labor costs. The city shall charge 15% overhead on any materials.
SECTION 4. Community events or private activities, which have not been previously

per hour to the city for each commissioned officer and police reserve. The use of commissioned officers
and police reserves shall be at the sole discretion of the Chief of Police. The presence of additional
uniformed police within the city is deemed to be a public benefit, and thus the full cost of the officer, if
