RE: APPLICATION TO THE INTERAGENCY COMMITTEE FOR OUTDOOR RECREATION
TO: PARKS & RECREATION DEPARTMENT, CITY OF BREMERTON
ATTENTION: Ray Foley
I am an attorney at law admitted to practice in the State of Washington and the
duly appointed Attorney for the City of Bramerton.
I have examined your applications which are to be filed with the Interagency
Committee for Outdoor Recreation whereby federal assistance is requested for
the development of city land for park and recreational purposes specifically.
I have reviewed all pertinent federal, state and local laws, and particularly
Title 35, Revised Code of WashinEton as related to the City of Bremerton's
authority. I have further examined the 'proposed program outlined in the appli-
cations in the light of the comprehensive land use plan for the City of Bramerton
both within and without its corporate limits, including plans for the acquisition
of land and the development thereof for public park and recreational purposes.
Based upon the foregoing, it is my opinion that the City of Bremerton, Washington
is a municipal corporation empowered to receive and expand federal, state and
local funds, to contract with the United States of American and the State of
Washington, to acquire and improve land for public activities incidental thereto,
to receive and expand the funds involved for said purposes, to accomplish the
objectives set forth in the project proposal, to commit the applicant to state-
ments made in the proposal that the planned development as proposed herein is in
accordance with the comprehensive land use policy adopted by the City of Bremerton,
Washington.
Sincerely,
City Attorney
