Dear Sirs:

It is with deep regret that I must resign as a member of the Port Townsend Fla11l1ing Commission.
Because I find it necessary to move out of the city, I will be unable to continue in any
capacity as a Planning Comr.1Ïssioner. -
It has been a real privilege and pleasure to have served the City these past five years and I
have enjoyed working with lllayor Sith, Uiayor Sullivan, the 'City Council members and the various
d ep ar tme n t s of the City. '
V1ithj_n a few months the appliéation for the final phase of Port Tormsend's plan ...-{ill be officia¡
lly approved and I am truly sorry I'll not be here to see the ?inal plan completed and adopted.
Alonp' wi th all of Port Townsend's citizens, I too will be loo]<:inl; fcrward to the day when our
city's great potential will be fully realized. If there is any w~y in which I c~n u~officially
continue to serve the City, please let me know.
-
.
Very sincerely yours,
:"lar i Iou Green

- ? 'I
he had considerable reservations about the real value of t~le ation but iJ' the council so desL"ec
he wold prepure the resolutian. ~ayor Smith said tha in view of the business tonight it will

repr'esenatives of the ci tys engineering consul ting fÌl"1"¡l and of the financial :firm Vïel-e IT' esent,
concerns tho Hastings street _and the Jacknan street se':¡er extension. ~-/Iayor smith called upon
[,fir Ark Chin engineering consul tan t to bl"iefly run dorm r:ha t the situ::\. tion rID s.
I
NIl" Chin. said that a contract was signed by the city to have Carey é:c Kramer proceed with the
design for the seHer at Hastings & Jackson Street area, the dffisi8n '.'/as finished and by Dec. 6th
the State Deþt of Health and the Pollti.tion Control Cornmission both gnve formal ~pproval for the
proposed project. he said that the only thing that stood between the construc(~~ion of the proj]ct
was financing and final city approval. He said that I,rational Construeticn Vias finished with the
original project and Ott-Ahvater was alr:lOst through v/ith the treatr'1ent plant and it is Imorm nOi'
that there will be around 50,000.00 left in the constructIon fund. So on the basis of the money
left ':::arey and I'Cramer had vvorked wi th ¡','II' Granberg financ ial consul tan t of :'i1cLean & Co on the
finåncial feasibility of this particular p~oject. ~e said the esti~ited project would cost
about 160,000 and had received indication from Mr Granberg that the bond issue could range as
high as 180,000. to 200.000. so the::.-'e was a chance of extending the project to include additbn¡;l
aréas,~hat hê:\~e s~v:er r:roblems. The"other are~s r-roulß include,~bnut '~;ree.blocks nest of Hast:'Lnqs,

looked into, that c,~ld e done on a basis similia to what was done for the Bishop property.
IiII' Chin said is what we need tonight is authorizt:i.on from, the CO1ll1ci:L for us to include thoes
particular areas for study.
IVïr Granberg of :VlcL,,:an &: Co. said that financing of the project VIas (easible 2nd sug,gested that

I-:Iayor Smi th said by the 1001(s of the size of the audience ttJsy rre-<3 hel-o to discuss the
admission tax, he said he would like to state a fer: facts of the case, the admission tax is levied
against patrons and returned to the city by the operator of the theatre. This has been the caseJ
formmany years, he also emphasized that 1;he tax i levied against the individual movie-Goer.
¡'¡ayor ,Smith said the~e can be nQthing, worse in a city than a ',.rgovernLn:i.ng body JLJl1.'lPing ba, ck, and
fOl"th on an issue, such vacillation by the council ¡-;QuId only cl"eate more problem;; tor the

Councilman Scheyer stated that the council really felt that they could not solve Mr Wileys
problem or it wo'ld have Deen solved the fiI't t:i.me it was brought bofore the council. He said we
feel that you people are being used by T.~r Wiley to create a pretest and to this I object, to me
T:1r Wiley said that in order to surive he \'l::mld have to double tis gross. ì'l:r Wiley paid his
taxes the first quarter of 67 and ho.s paid no taxes since.He pe,ld 13(3.00 the .first quarter,
projecting this over a years period of time three percent admission tax wo Id be 645.00, his
gross ther'3fore ¡'lCU Id be 21,500.00 a year, v/hat he is asldng for is to remove 645.00 tax when
he says he has dto d oub Ie h5, s gros s \vhich is 21,500.00. I hones tly bel ieve that we c an not salva
;{II' V"vileys Problem tJ.lut if v:e remove the three p,,)I'cent admiss ior., tax he vlould save 645.00, if he
need s this Idnd of money he vii 11 c lose the thoa tre up.
Counci.Lman Siebenbatun s~id the finance committee considered tho ta:( from all aEgles, the tax
is a legal tax, nothing ì,vr,:)ng with it. l-i,e said he dosent mind cr being accused of t:'lÌngs that
we do, but dont like to be accused of things ths.t are not true, 1,ve have been -accused of closing
down the reG c en tel", vÚlÌ ch the city fwd nothing to do rri th, the, t was closed by the school, VIe
have been accus~d of closing down the skating rink wl~ch is not true for it is still sperating.
We have been accused of closing down the theatre, which is not so.
I
Mayor Smith s aid the chair vlOuld like to make one c orrec tion for adl1linis tra t ive point, the"
taxes levied upon the individual, it is collected o.Ild turned in by tile operator of the busi~e~s,
the tax money pald by the people \"1110 go to the shoVi has not been turned in by Llr i¡jiley.
Frank Erb spoke from the audience on behalf of the Jefferson COU¡!.t:r Labor Coordinating comrn-

City Attorney Abraham informe d the audience that there seemed to be sorne'^'~pprehensi on' of law,
::le s ta ted tl'lere is no amusement func tionin the city of Port '-Povmsend tha t is not taxed or lice:r::sed
in some way, and all of thoes taxes or~licenses are r2.ti'ler stiff, ë.nd the reason for tl-:is is, ,
the state Legislature Grants to cities a very limited taxing pOì:7er. One of tl'loes taxing po'.1ers
are on amusement and the reason it is on amuseiî1ent is because thoos thinc;s are not necessary,
but COll1l11enting on the merit of this tax I do not \'v"ant anyone to leave rdth the impression that
the city tax is only on theatres or skating rinks b0cause all the arause:nents in t~'1e city are
taxed or licensed in some way.
