Motion by Mr. Clark and Mr. Schoneman to pay all bills that are ap- proved by a majority of the Commissioners, carried unanimously.

In the discussion, Mr. Schoneman stated the sale will result in savings to the City in repair and replacement costs. Mr. Clark stated the City will realize a saving of about $400 per year in care and maintenance of the lights. Mr. Jarstad reported the estimated census for the year 198§ s~wed a de- crease of 7,~24. The census is estimated at ~2,~81. Part of the decrease is due to the departing of military personnel from the area, which counted for 8,908. The drop in population will mean a loss of $1~0,000 in State funds for the coming year~ (approximately). This will increase the budgeting bur- den of the City, and we are hopeful the people will vote favorably on the Sales Tax Initiative in the fall. Mr. Clark clarified that these census figures have not yet been studied by the Council , a~d are merely e~timates. Mr. Jarstad reported that the coming Saturday is the Veteran's of For- eign Wars Parade in Port Orchard and he will be attending the parade and a luncheon. Mr. Earstad stated that another City Parks Department sponsored dance will be held on Saturday night. Mr. Jarstad expressed discoura!~ement with the unsuccessful school levy voted on Tuesday. He said he hoped the schools would not accept this fail- ure as a lack of confidence in their administration of the schools, but that there were many factors involved in the levy being unsuccessful.
