C OI:i:.:UNI CA'1'I ONS From the ?ook Publishing Co., July 22, 1965 to -wit: The Honorable Dennis Sullivan and ilonfoors of the City Council City hall, Port Towaisond, 'iinshington Dear ::u;;or and 1:c::;bor of the Council of the City of Port Townsend: Thank you so much for allowing mn to show you our film, "A Professional Approach to ladi_icntion". It seems to me that the interest you folks are showing in a modern municipal code is only one of the :^a.•ny signs of progress in Port Townsend. The Seattle newspapers hav riven a lot of favorable comment on your summer drama program. Quite often one hears Port Townsend mentioned an a 'place to go". All of this must be really pleasing to the officials of Port Townsend. The enclosed proposal includes a copy of our editorial specifications which will be of interest. Since I talked with you, I have gone over your situation thoroughly with our editorial department and they a^roe with me that it in not likely that a code for Port Townsend would run :ouch over 300 to 350 pages. The City of Shelton has a code of 320 pages. Our estimate there was 300 - 350 pages. �c realize that in contracting .,ith a city to produce a city code, there has to be considerable good faith on the part of both the city and the company. Since 1952, we have produced (or have in production) codes for more than 50 cities and counties in Washington State. So far we have not had a single controversy over the anticipated size or price of the code. In one or two instances, the completed municipal code has boon delivered to an entirely now and totally different council than the one which originally ordered too work started. Not one of our "Coda Cities" tell us that they are sorry they did the job. A modern :unlcinal code is an investment in good government. It will probably be more appreciated by the City Attorney, City Clerk and other members of the official family - but in the long, run the citizens of Port Townsend will be the reel winners. Good government pays for everyone concerned. If you watt alterations in the payment sch.:dule, lot me know and I will come over anytime. Very truly yours, A. W. (Bud) Tinsley The letter was accompanied by a basic bid in the amount of �'-3,600.00 for codifying the sity's ordinances. City Attorney Glenn Abraham recommended the project, pointed to favorab "spects of the bid and urged the council's serious consideration. City Clerk Youngblood pointed out that tie city's 006 preliminary budget is now being prepared, and the council approved Councilman Siebenbaum' s suggestion that the item be included in the budget pending subsequent discussion. From Ida Hinton, Port Ludlow:, August 1, 1065 to -writ: 7ayor Dennis Sullivan and City Councilmen Fort Tow.-nsard, nnhin ton c/o City Clerk, Mickey Youngblood Lear Sir:: The formation of a fire district for the Port Ludlow vicinity has been proposed by a Croup of interested residents and property owners of the Port Ludlow area. to are sure you realize the time consuming procedure we face if this is to become a reality with the sirninC of petitions, presentation of our request to the County Commissioners and then if accepted the preparations for a special election. If passed, the long tedious wait for the tag: revenue to accomulate to finance us. In the meantime we continue withoutfire protection except for the fine assistance the Chimacum volunteer firemen ,give us. The distance from Chimacum hinders them and besides each time they come out of their district they face the possibility of legal entanglements. it in our underctandin that you gentleman are contemplating the disposal of the old Port Town^end di-tr'ct ._re engine. We are hoping„ you :night possibly see fit to give us some consideraticn while -onder_ng, this matter. c would greatly appreciate it if -,ou would consider us worthy of using your extra fire truck until the tine arrives that we can !got a district formed and opornting, financially. Ti:ank :-on for our t:-.e and attention. Sincerely, Ida Hinton, Port Ludlow, hash.
