Box 4117, Bremerton. - Other attendees were not identified. It was the concensus of the group that (1) this Ordinance was a discrimatory measure against the tavern owner; (2) there was much paperwork involved since they are required to do most of the paperwork already; (3) they did not feel this will solve the problem of teenage abuse of alcohol. Questions were raised as to (1) how do you set up a system for identifying kegs since some breweries do not have ID numbers on their kegs; (2) how do you keep numbers on the kegs from being obliterated; (3) who supplys keg stickers; and (4) who will affix stickers. (continued) CITY COMMISSIONERS' MEETING MINUTES October 27, 1980 Page Four o ORDINANCE - FIRST READING - REGULATING SALE AND DISTRIBUTION OF MALT LIQUOR (continued) Discussion by Mayor Jarstad and Commissioner Swanson followed. It was agreed that something is needed to curtail teenage abuse of alcohol, but that this Ordinance may not do that. They felt the State Liquor Board should become involved. Mayor Jarstad would recommend to the State Liquor Board that if they want an Ordinance of this type, it should be done on a state-wide basis. Because there has been no favorable comments regarding how viable this Ordinance would be, Commissioner Swanson recommended we neither reject or take action on this Ordinance until we have had a hearing involving police agencies, the State Liquor Board, concerned neighborhood groups, and the tavern owners. This hearing will be held Tuesday, November 18, 10:30 a.m., at the regular City Commissioners Meeting in the Council Chambers at City Hall. · RECOMMENDATION FOR NEW BLOCK GRANT APPLICATION PROJECTS Clerk read a memo dated 10/27/80 from the Planning Dept. stating the City has the opportunity to apply for either a Single Purpose Block Grant or a Comprehensive Community Development Block Grant. The Single Purpose Block Grant addresses and corrects a specific community development need and should be able to be completed within 2 years at a cost of no more than $600,000. The Planning Dept. has reviewed the application guidelines and the many projects recommended by the public and in-house depart- ments, and has been in close touch with Pete Steele, HUD repre- sentative to Bremerton. Because of the number and nature of the Comprehensive Community Development Block Grants applications that are estimated to be submitted to HUD for funding and that Bremerton's most urgent needs center around housing assistance including rental assistance and rental rehabilitation, the Planning Dept. recommends that the City submit a Single Purpose Housing Rehabilitation application for $600,000. This grant would target the southern half of both the Smith and Charleston/National neighborhood where significant housing needs remain and would provide (a) housing rehabilitation loans for owner- and renter-occupied housing units; (b) a minimum property maintenance program; and (c) assist the Kitsap County Housing Referral program. Colleen Donley requested that the City Council authorize the Planning Dept. to develop the Block Grant pre-application for these activities. A public hearing will be scheduled for either November 12 or 13. Motion by Mayor Jarstad and Commissioner Swanson to have the Planning Dept. set the date and submit a pre-application to HUD, carried unanimously.
