request from Dott Kelly for $2,500 seed money until grants are written for the Boiler Room. Mr.

budget.

request to purchase a used track configured to tow a 5th wheel Port Townsend float, He stated the
request assumed an excess in bed tax might be available, but reported City Attomey McMahan noted
the funds could not be used for a capital equipment purchase even though it might be used for
tourism promotion. When it was determined there were no other City funds available, the request
was withdrawn.
He reported that Sherry Robison requested the 1995 Tourism Advisory Group (TAG) budget be
forwarded to the 1996 budget. Since this will have to be handled as a supplemental budget request,
it was deferred until the next supplemental budget later in the year.
He stated the committee reviewed the new Public Works financial reports and they were met with
a great deal of enthusiasm. He said copies would be distributed to Councilmembers approximately
once a month. He noted these reports should allow Economic Engineering Service to do an even
better job in their 1997 utility rate study. He announced a Meeting March 7, 9:30 a.m. in Council

visitor center somewhere at Fort Worden. The Fort Worden Advisory Committee passed a motion
6
to request the State Parks Department to look at the concept, and, if allowed, the committee to pursue
to see if feasible. Mr. Rambo said if it looks favorable they might come back with a funds request
of $3,000 to $5,000 from bed tax to set up the facility.
Councilmember Harpole suggested the Boiler Room request be included in the first supplemental
budget.
Land Use. Councilmember Keith reported the committee met twice to consider regulatory reform
and stated they went through what is anticipated to be the final draft of the Regulatory Reform
ordinance. He indicated it will be read and ready for the next step.
