Motion by Mr. Kean and Mr. Gorst to note content~ and direct the Mayor to sign the necessary papers and refer the matter to the City Attorney for prepar- ation of inventory lease agreement similar to the one on the National Guard using the Recreation Building, carried. Clerk read letter from Marion Garland, Jr., addressed to Mayor and Street Department, w~ich states last October he notified the. City that Mr. F.A. Ritter did not grant r&ght of way along lot 4, block 8, Warren Smith Acre Tracts, and now wishes to inform that Mr. Grover C. Wallis, the present owner of the ~operty did not grant a right of way along lot 4. M~~ Wallis granted a right of way deed on West 15 feet of "L" shaped piece of property along Chester Avenue and does not convey any of lot-4. , SuggeEts the deed be checked as it merely describes strip of land 15' ~ de, to extreme, wes£ on Chester Avenue. Fact that Mr. Wallis' land is described in two pieces does not change the location of the west 15' and demand notice in event City contemplates construction of a road or any other activities on the land so an injunction maybe prepared to protect his client's interests. Mayor suggested that the Engineer and Street Superintendent make a survey of the district so that people there would know ~at is available for street purposes~ an~ there would be no room for misunderstandings. Commissioner Gorst remarked that the survey had already been made and that t he Engineer understood the matter. Motion by Mr. Gorst and Mr. Kean that the City Clerk acknowledge receipt of the letter and it be referred to the City Engineer, ~Ath the request that he ex- plain the circumstances to persons involved, carried. Letter from the No~th Side Improvement Club, dated March 3, 1948, was read by Clerk, in which it was reported that a t the last meeting it was moved that City Council be urged to consider and adopt request indicated on a petition of prOper- ty owners in the vicinity of the City Park to annex the Fill adjacent to the Park as a part of such park. Such petition was delivered in November, 1947, and they feel action should be forthcoming in the very near future. Mayor ~mmented it seemed they wished to be assured that the area in question will be reserved for park purposes. Treasurer remarked that they want the Sanitation Department to move out and extend the Park area. ~,~RCH 10, 1948 (Con,t) Mayor further remarked there had been some discussion re playfie~d there, but that Evergreen Park-is the only pa~k that could be termed a rest park, and there would be no rest park if a playfield is located there, There had also been some discussion re amusement park in the location. Motion by Mr. Kean and Mr. Gorst to refer to the City Clerk to dig up the - petition mentioned as having been filed and refer it to the Committee of the Whole, carried. Clerk read letter from the Chairman ef Bremerton City Planning Commission, re letter of 2/9/48, which was referred to them. Letter was read and it was moved to send answer directly to City Council. Committee on Housing Facts and Goals has recommended, after, study andhearings, that the Anderson Cove be de- signated as industrial site. Recommendations have been compiled in booklet form and have been forwarded to agency supervising liquidation of government pro- perty.~ In view of such recommendation, and that after the property has been disposed~of by U.S., it will be necessary to have property rezoned, City Plan- ling Commission is not disposed to make recommendation contrary to that of Housing Facts and Goals. City Planning Co~mission has no jurisdiction over property adjacent t o the City. Several requests have been made to County Planning Commission to con- sult with City Planning Commission on proposed rezoning of areas adjacent to the City. Up to the present have never been advised of any such action, al- though it has come to their attention after rezoning has been effective. City Planning Commission agrees with North Side Community Club and believes that~ zoning adjacent to City limits is a dual responsibility of City and County but the City is not legally able to participate in such responsibility and has not been invited to do so. Clerk read letter from North Side Improvement Club enclosing petitions re- ~esting action re installation of oil storage facilities in an~ close to North side of Bremerton. Petitions are proof of public opinion and must be considered before action requested is too late. Excuse that nothing can be done will not suffice. Request arrangement of meeting with County Commissioners and carry out wishes of constituents. Total number of signers both County and City is ?00. Nothing to prevent cooperation of City and County Administrators. Clerk also read copy of letter enclosed addressed to. County Commissioners requesting meeting such as outlined above. Mayor remarked that circumstances are such that Bremerton has no commer- cial areas on the water front, other than Standard Oil at the, foot of Highland, from the 01d Yacht Club up to and including this area. The waterway at the end of Pacific is not open, and it would cost a great deal of money to open it. The Port Commission does not seem interested in doing anything on the mat- ter. ~ayor feels the City and County Commiissioners should meet and discuss the Anderson Cove situation as well as the "Head of the Bay". Motion by Mr. Kean and Mr. Gorst to request the. City Clerk to make arrange- ments for a meeting of City and County Commissioners, City and County Engineers, Chairman of both City and County Planning Commissions or members delegated by the Chairman, for 2:00 P.M. Friday, March 12) 1948, at the City Hall, to discuss the Anderson Cove matter, and later the problems on the Head of the Bay, carried.

The above- mentioned improvement includes construction of storm and sanitary sewers and pro- riding for drainage, together with the doing of any and all other, work in connect- ion therewith as may be neceEsary to make such improvement a complete Job. Motion by Mr. Gorst and Mr. Kean to pass Resolution No. 637, carried as follows: Mr. Kean, Yes. Mrs. Haddon, Yes. Mr. Gorst, Yes. City Treasurer stated no report on purchase of lots adjacent to Fores~ Ridge Park. City Attorney reported he had prepared an ordinance on residential qualifi- cations of city employees, but had not yet had a chance to discuss the matter with Mr. Wallace nor has it been submitted to the Civil Service Commission. Further report~was made by the Attorney that the lease to School Board on Dormitory "B" has not yet been returned. Mrs. Haddon reported the Sanitation Department has been trying to shape up the dump, and move out of one corner, and it seem~ they sre doing a good ~overing Job there. They are also making another rat catcher there, but so far no rats have been caught. Further reported it is hard to keep the dump cleaned up as many per- sons dump garbage over the bank over week-ends. Motion by Mr. Gorst and Mrs. ttaddon that the City Clerk and Purchasing Agent be instructed, to call for bids for a car for the Street Department, carried. Mr. Gorst further commen~ed a transfer should be made whereby the pick-up which Mr. Hatfield now uses can be trmusferred to the Garage Department, and the panel they have been using be transferred back to Street Department so that it can be turned in on thepurchase of the new car. Mayor reported that Mr. Russell, who is a resident outside of the City, has been serving on the Civil Service Commission wished to resign, but had acted on the board while the case on residential qualifications was pending. Further report- ed Mr. C.C. White should be appointed in his place. Motion by Mr. Kean and Mr. Gorst to accept the resignation of Mr. Russell and appoint Mr. C.C. White, 820 McKenzie Avenue, on the Civil Service Commission, car- ried. Mayor ~nquired as to what Council thinks about Daylight Savings Time, and if Council wishes to take any action. Mr. Gorst commented that he thought it is a good~idea. Mayor also stated he was in favor of it, however,, felt it should be for the entire pacific Coast, and that California has already adopted it, and if Wash- ington adopts it, why Oregon will naturally fall in line~. Further wondered mhat time would apply to the Navy Yard as their orders come from Washington, D.C. City Attorney suggested that the City Council pass a resolution to be sent to the Congressmen and go on record as favoring daylight savings time. Mrs. Haddon cozmmented she was not in favor of such action unless it could be adopted on a nation wide scale. Motion by Mr. Kean and Mr. Gorst that the City Attorney be instructed to pre- pare a resolution showing that the City of Bremerton desires Daylight Savings Time, carried as follows: Mr. Kean, Yes. Mrs. Haddon, No. Mr. Gorst, Yes. Inquiry was made by Mayor as to whether or nob Council wishes to take any ac- tion on the ferry situation. Feels somebody will have to take a stand on the matter. Stated the State proposes having ferries built at an estimated cost of about $10,000. and shen they are in operation what will happen to the proposed bridges. Mayor furthe~ commented he thinks the City Council should ask the Toll Bridge Authority and others concerned to expedite construction of various Oridges following the surveys ~hich are being made on the traffic count. Continue to operate the ferrie~ until the bridges are completed, and then the State to buy or acquire the ferrie~ deemed necessary. Further remarked that Captain Peabody wanted to build bridges, firur- lng on bridges instead of ferries. If the State spends millions £or ferries, ~uat happens to the bridges? If the bridges are built now it will eliminate ~me of the ferries. Further asked if the Council has sq~ reason to get in the ~iscussion? Attorney replied the Council has as much reason as any Council ever does when it comes to politics. Attorney remarked he has been instructed to ask the con- gressmen to do something about Daylight Savings Time and resolution can also be adopted on this matter. Mayor commented if the State builds the ferries it will take a long time to have them built, and not much satisfaction while they are being built. If the Tacoma Narrows bridge could be rushed, and possibly a bridge from Gilberton to ~-Bainbridge, and then a survey made on the Agat Pass bridge, it would relieve some of the necessity for ferries. MARCH lC, 1948 (Con't) Mr. Corst remarked he did not understand the matter very well, the State re- fused to let Peabody run the ferries hr a 30% increase, and when he quit, the County chartered the ferries and now th~ are running with an additional 30% in- crease. The State tells the Counties to go ahead and charge whatever fare they wish. Attorney remarked that the County has the power to establish rates, and even though Peabody might have recommended such rates, the County still has the pmaver to establish rates. Mr. Gorst asked then if the State has no Jurisdiction over the runnir~ of the ferries. Attorney remarked t~at is correct it~is entirely up to the Counties. Mayor remarked that any rates are subject to survey every thirty days, and if the vol~e drops off and there is not enough revenue then the rates can be raised. Further remarked the whole matter has not been handled very well. The Cham- ber of Commerce and others have gone to Good Roads Association conferences and en- ~rsed the Agate Pass Bridge, with no thought of what it would do to Bremerton. Then when things progress, want the Gilberton-Bainbridge IslandBridge. Somebody has to take a stand, ~ven though it may be the wrong stand, to get the people organized. If the people of Bremerton had been working for the interests of Brem- erton, and would have been in front on the Gilberton-Bainbridge Island Bridge and would have had the people behind it. Mr. Shain is now having a traffic survey made, and will no doubt approve the bridge which will serve the greatest number of people to an advantage. Mayor further stated he ~uld be glad to go around the district to try and sell the Gilberton-Bainbrtdge Island Bridge, as he feels such a bridge would do the whole peninsula a lot of good. Motion by Mayor Kean that the Council go on record as requesting the Toll Bridge Authority to expedite the survey andproceed as rapidly as possible to con- struct all necessary bridges, and get into the ferry situation upon the completion of the bridges. No second was made to the motion, and it was not carried. Mr. Gorst stated that he ~lought the State should go into the ferry situation before two years, and it would take that long to build any of the proposed bridges~ and felt the ferry situation should be s£raightened out before the building of any bridges. Reporter from the Sun who was present remarked that the State has been talk- ing oi' buying only sixor eight ferries, md felt that theywe thinking ahead about the bridges, not planning on six or eight ferries to replace the entire Black Ball system. City Engineer remarked he is present a t this meeting on poll~t£on treatment. Had asked James Carey & Company to make a study of the separation of the Jobs on sewage treatment. Introduced M~ Brett, representing James Carey & Company, who was in Bremerton to work on the matter. Engineer. further s.tated he had t~ked to Mr. Carey who felt the matter could be set up on a change~orde~, and would be at no cost to the City. Engineer further recommended that the City Attorney should be instructed to prepare necessary easements. Motion by Mr. Go,st and Mrs. Haddon that the recommendation be ~proved and the City Attorney be instructed to,quire the necessary easement~, carried. Engineer further remarked that on the survey on Streets, alleys, etc., ~ich is being made, it appears the City CM rk should put the number of voters in each precinct on precinct map. Numbers of voters to be computed from the last general election. Also suggested the Clerk should certify such figures. Motion by Mr. Kean and Mrs. Haddon to allow all bills if approved by a maj- ority of the Commission, carried. Mayor remarked he is to attend a meeting of the Executive Board of the Association of Washington Cities on Thursday, to be held in Seattle. Furthe~ report was made by the Mayor that it is proposed to have a rotc- tiller go over the Manette Playfield and then plant the grass seed. The work is to be done for $20.00. Notion by ~&. Kean and Mr. Gorst to recess to Saturday, March 13, 1948, at ten o,clock A.M., Carried. ~ Ctty/Cle~k/~ APP~OVED:~ -- ' M~or MARCH 13, 1948 The recessed meeting of the City Council of the City of Bremerton was held in the Mayor's Office at the Cit~ Hall on Saturday, March 13, 1948 at 10:00 o,clock A.M.

Klokke~ was read by Clerk, mbo states she is representing people interested in the future of Bremerton, and asks consideration on the advisability of contacting the proper authorities re- sponsible for the Anderson Cove Project disposition after houses are removed. Suggests the logical disposition of this area is for a City Park. Fe~ls if such is considered at all the installation of oil storage tanks should be postponed. Wishes to know how the City Council stands and what is proposed. 'Mayor commented t hat this district has been zoned commercial for some time, and one of the men has complied with the regulations and made application under the present zoning or~ nance, and is going ahead with his plans. The people in that district should know it has been'commercial for the last ten years, and could not understand the protests now. Mayor further remarked that he had at first proposed to the Planning & Zoning Commission that this should be set up as a park, even before the Housing Facts and Goals had been formed. The Zoning Commission was of the opinion that it should not be zoned as a park and~should be an industrial or commercial'zone. Mrs. Haddon commented that Bremerton needed Some commercial ~ nes, as busi- ness is really the life blood of a community. Mayor suggested the letter be acknowledged and Mrs. Klokker be informed that the Committees handling the disposition of Federal property have gone on record as recommending Anderson Cove be zoned commercial and used for commercial purposes Feels this is the opinion of both the City'and County Planning Commissions, and the County has already ~ ned this area as commercial.
