COMMISSIONERS' REPORTS
Commissioner Stewart:
1. Discussed offering preferential treatment to homeowners to park in front of
their own homes and stated he would like to direct the City Attorney's office
to let the Council know what can be done about this. Mayor Jarstad stated the
City Attorney's office has written fox' all the documents of that court case and
when these are received, the Council will be briefed on what will happen. He
stated this information should be received soon. Commissioner Stewart asked if
a tracer could be sent to find out where the information went.
talked to Chris Foreman, Executive Secretary who handles sauna
2. Stated he 7
had _
licenses in the~'~ ' State law requires that everyone who operates as a masseuse
have a state license and they depend on the local people to enforce the statute.
Stated an ordinance has been prepared for this purpose but it will require the
emergency clause because City licenses are expiring on Dec. 3], 1977. Stated he
had asked City Clerk not to issue any more licenses unless these individuals
are licensed under state law. Suggested that the City licenses should be running
concurrently with the State licenses. Stated the State has an investigation and
the City has an investigation and believed that one investigation should be
enough. Noted that the State uses the birth date of the applicant and the City
could issue prorated licenses to bring the City's licenses into cortformance with
State licensing. tie stated the State investigation covered more aspects than
the City investigation so the City licenses should hinge on the applicant already
having a State license. tie stated that other political entities have followed
this course and have accepted State investigation rather than conducting one of
their own. Mr. Ryan stated Mr. Sells had pointed out to him that they have no
qualms about complying with the State law but his concern isthat the City has
appeared in some court cases regarding the City's massage parlor operations and
under the circumstances, he felt an emergency ordinance would not be entirely
appropriate. It should go on two readings and that is the way he drafted the
ordinance. Commissioner Stewart observed that the emergency ordinance is needed
to have the ordinance in effect by the end of the license year, which is Dec.
51st. He made a reconmaendation that the ordinance contain the emergency clause
and make it so licenses run concurrently with State licenses. City Clerk
suggested holding the emergency ordinance over for a week or two and authorizing
him to place a notice in the newspaper that the passage of this ordinance as an
emergency was being considered.
Motion by Mayor Jarstad and Commissioner Schoneman that the proposed sauna parlor
emergency ordinance be brought before the City Council at 9:00 A.M. on Dec. 14,
1977 For proposed passage and the City Clerk so notify the public by placing a
legal publication in the newspaper, carried unanimously.

PROPONENTS:
Ray Lauderback, 2327 8th St., Director of Human Progress Association, stated
their application was filed for this facility so they may be able to increase
their service to their clients and to the community. He stated there was
considerable misinformation being circulated and he answered a number of these
which concerned the categories of crimes which his clients have committed,
security of the building, supervision of those on the work release program,
number of parking spaces available and the amoumt of parking needed. Stated
those on the progrmn are very carefully screened; they are kept under strict
time supervision both at the facility and at their employer's place of business
or while seeking employment.
Mr'. Sexton stated he was a member of the Board of Continued Progress Association
and asked if the "appearance of fairness" should be applied to him. He also
stated his firm had prepared the papers for the corporation, etc. Mayor Jarstad
stated he should not leave the meeting because there may be legal procedures
that need to be clarified but the Council will not ask him for any advice.
Steven Hull, 2702 Callshah Dr., discussed the kind of offenders who would be
in the program. tlc stated there would be no murderers or rapists. Stated they
do a background investigation and very strict supervision is then set up.
Hc explained the way the supervision operates. He stated that their clients
are able to maintain their employment and pay their bills and make restitutioD
if' necessary while they are in the program. He stated that when they are not
working, they spend all their time at the facility.
Commissioner Stewart asked the cost and it was cited that the individual pays
$6.50 per day and the County pays $11.00 per day.
Judge Terrance Han]ey spoke in favor of the Facility and the nearly desperate
need for it. He stated if the facility is not available, it cuts down on the
options available to a judge in imposing a sentence. He stated it is desirable
to have it in Bremerton becausc most of the people the court deals with are in
this geographical area which cuts down on travel time.
Ron Hanna, State Representative and Chairman of Institutions Committee, spoke
in fairer of the program and stated that he has been personally involved in
setting up a number of half-way houses and work release programs and they have
learned from some of the mistakes they have made in the past. He realizes that
someone living near a facility is Fearful but what has happened in every instance
is that the people have changed their opinion after the facility has been
operating for sometime. He stated he would like to reassure the people that
given a year or so of the program in operation, they will lose most of theLr
fears and concerns, especially since the program has established a high
credibility where they have operated. No one has been foand wandering around
the neighborhood. He spoke of the strict screening by the judges and the
program people in terms of who is allowed in the program. Serious offenders
and repeaters and those who could be dangerous are not permitted in the program.
He stated both male and female offenders are eligible for the program.
Con~nissioncr Schoneman asked what numbe~ of people are to be expected and Mr.
Lauderback stated that in the last eight months, they have had two women in
the program. With this facility, they would have between B0 and 60 people
maximum. Also stated they would have to meet many conditions: light, windows,
etc. He stated the people would be in the progra~ for icss than a year.
Ray Messegee, Super'visor of the Work Release Program, Division of Corrections,
Dept. of Social g Health Services, discussed the number of work release centers
in the state and the understandable reservations of the neighbors. He talked
about the operation of the probation and penal institutions. Stated that work
release would be in a controlled environment involving those that the judge is
not willing to put on parole. tle gave other information concerning successful
programs, one of which was Pasco. Comm{ssioner Stewart asked what percentage
of the people on this program do commit crimes and Mr. Messegee stated 1% during
their stay on work release. ile discussed the strictness of the program and
stated the program is cost effective.

Charles Wolfe, Adult Correction Officer, Kitsap County Sheriff's Dept., in
charge of work release facility, stated that the facility which was constructed
about four years ago and was predicted to reach its capacity in 1985 has already
reached saturation at least six times in the last four years. Stated they may
have to discontinue some programs such as work release because of space. lie
stated expansion is costly.
Don Oattom, Rt. 1, Box 846, Fall City, stated he was the owner of the building
and hoped the building would be used for something worthwhile and advantageous
to the community and he thought this was a very worthwhile program. Stated it
cost between $1,500.00 and $2,000.00 to maintain the building each month and
heat alone at this time is $800.00 per month just be keep the building at 55°.
He stated he also must maintain a caretaker in the building.
Judge Jay Hamilton spoke in favor of the program. He stated he sympathized with
the neighbors who were fearful of the program. Discussed the security of the
work release program, stated it has not been a problem and the judges would be
the first ones to know. He stated that the alternative to the program would be
to put the people back on the streets with no supervision and no training.
Sig Cohen stated she was with the local State Office of Adult Probation and
Parole and stated there was a dire need of a larger facility. Part of their
work is making recommendations to the court and if there is no structured situation
it cannot make any recommendation for this type of supervision. She stated in
her case load she has people who need this program. Talked about the number
of people on her case load and the increase as expected with the growth occuring
in the County. Without a program, there will be people on the streets who don't
belong there. She stated they have to be responsible in the work release program
but not in an institution. She stated that the majority of the clientele comes
directly From Superior Court and to her department for pre-sentence investiga-
tion and then there are interviews and finally they make a recommendation to the
court. She stated if there is no work release program, they will go on straight
parole from the institution or straight parole from the County.

these people on the job and he would not be involved in the program again. He
also stated that Olympic College is not very happy with the program either,
but under state law would have to take people from i.t. He was concerned that
all the work re]ease people do not work in the Navy Yard and he did not think
the taxpayers of the City should have to support those outside.
Asst. Director }lull stated all the people would be From Kitsap County. He
stated there are 20 in the program now and there is room for approximately
24. Mr. McDonald stated he can't understand the County building chambers
for another judge and he asked why not take some of that money which is ear-
marked for law enforcement and use it for a facility.
Jess Parker, 1237 7th St., stated he was not opposed to the program, but to
the location. He gave a list of the type of crimes committed and asked questions
about the use of the income and stated he was also opposed because of bringing
in people to a small area. He stated there are always problems in a barracks
type operation. He suggested that if these people are safe and no threat to
the community, why not put them on the street for 24 hours per day. Me
stated that Mr. Olsen gave the Planning Director a decision on this particular
use of this facility and he said it was not an allowed use For R-2. Mayor
Jarstad explained why a structured facility is necessary and noted that 60%
of the people returned to institutions if they are not invelved in this type
of program, otherwise the return is 1%. Mr. Parker stated this use will affect
the appraised and market prices of properties. Commissioner Stewart stated
his opinion was that immediately there was going to be some devaluation which
might change after sometime and a record is built up, but immediately there
would be some devaluation, especially in light of the petition with 600 signatures
against this.
Kirby Smith, 1515 ?th St., did not oppose the type of program, but felt some
other location should he looked at. Stated he understood the Commodore Hotel
was available. Also the old Forestry Bldg at Port Orchard. tie stated he believed
property values will go down but the County will not reduce the taxes. Stated
there is not enough parking in the area and was concerned about security of
the building, Ne stated he believed that a number of these persons will he
working on dead-end jobs and the progrsns will run out about the time their
probation does. He stated the building had been condemned for housing and it
will have to be made more secure from escapes. Also stated that an opinion of
the City Attorney is that this is not an area zoned for mini-type prison.
There are too many people and elderly in the neighborhood for the security.
,lames Skirving stated he spent most of his life in the neighborhood of 1235 8th.
He stated he was in favor of the work release program but he was opposed to the
location. Stated it did not ]end itself to future expansion. He stated there
was no room for activities such as work or recreation programs in the facility,
not enough parking and it was an old building. He stated mistakes of locations
of businesses have been made in the past and stated by approving this, the City
would be making the same mistake.
Alice Logsten, 1220 9th St., stated she was positively against this application.
She favored putting children in the building rather than this program.
Grace Beck, 1217 7th St., stated she had lived there since 1940. She stated
that as the program built up to 60, there would be more people and more danger
and it would adversely affect everyone; that it would be unfair to the property
owners. She stated there were traffic problems, property would devaluated,
dope and alcohol could be smuggled in, there are children in the neighborhood
and this program is not compatible with the City because of' its plans to upgrade.
She read the attorney's opinion dated Sept. 28, 1977, which stated it was not
zoned for this purpose.
T. B. Beck, 1217 7th St., stated the City is being upgraded and there are plans
being made; there are 15 children up to 18 years of age from the front door up
the hill to Veneta. Stated he felt it would be a disgrace to put this in the
area and let them run wild. Stated the building was old and doubted there was
room for 50 cars. Stated the building was a fire hazard and there were cars

parked in the neighborhood and the police dept. has enough to do and can't check
the cars.
Virginia Lewis, 1516 Elizabeth, Secretary to the Smith Neighborhood, stated there
was supposed to be a plan being used and it shows this to be residential.
Ron Gordon, 1208 8th St., did not believe the site was desirable. There is no
parking and he stated the petition was not that valid because he had been contacted
by someone who had given him information that was not proper.
Don Ostrom stated the building is not a fire hazard; that is completely sprinklered.
He spoke of the laminated beams. Stated he had built ramps which cost $18,0OO.OO
for one and $10,0OO.OO or $11,000.00 for the other Stated they would comply with
requirements. Stated the major problem was with the Navy Yard parkers. lie
stated they were not taking advantage of the community financially and he is
talking about a building with a valuation of $350,000.00 with a replacement cost
of over a million dollars.
Loy Vogtlin, 1503 8th St., stated she was concerned about someone getting murdered
as has happened elsewhere.
Mildred Wakemore, 1212 6th St., stated her property has been devalued already
because of the type of people living there and she was concerned about what
would happen to her property value. She stated she lived alone and is concerned
about security. She noted that the people in Favor are working for money in
the program.
Mr. Kirby Smith stated he wondered about Mr. Gordon's statement about the
petition and stated no one had said anything like that to him. He questioned
wily the Hopton Nursing Home moved out when they had a more profitable operation
with the nursing home. He wondered why the County could not put up some money
for a facility.
Mayor Jarstad closed testimony at this time for con~ents from the commissioners.
Mayor Jarstad summarized his feelings and stated there was a need for the program
but the location bad to be taken into consideration. He stated that people were
already being asked to put up with many troublesome problems that have occurred
because of the increase of population and parking was difficult in that area
because of the bank employees and others parking. He also noted there is 100%
opposition to this program in the facility. He stated the commissioners would
like to see the building occupied and the people would like to see it occupied
as well as the owner, but there is overwhelming opposition.
Commissioner Stewart stated there are not many successes in crime prevention.
He didn't believe a sleeping facility was essential and this use would cause a
property devaluation. Also not enough parking. This would make a severe
parking problem. He stated there is work to be done for the City and that is
where these people should be used but he has not been able to get this accomplished.
He stated there was considerable vandalism and he can't get anyone from programs
to come work for him. He also stated he is very critical of crime prevention
programs. Did not want to see an empty building but there is not enough parking
and City would not let an apartment house go in there. He stated he was personally
opposed to this facility in this area.
Commissioner Schoneman stated he is 100% behind this program, but on the technical
aspects, the parking is lacking and it was lacking when the Hotton Nursing Home
was operating. Stated this would have to be corrected by acquiring additional
property. tte suggested there were other locations such as abandoned schools
and the National Guard area might be made available by the State. He also stated
that grants have been available for enlarging the court house and felt that a
grant may be available for a building. He stated he believed the reason the
Hotton Home was closed was that it was dangerous even with the sprinkling system
and hc questioned why there could be a work release program there and not a rest
home.
