'l'l-:ts ordinance is necessary f'or t:~-,; ~J.eal th, peace and welfare of the citizens of the City of Port ToTInsond. Attest: T:layor 6i ty Cl ark Approved As To ?orm: City Attorney Due to the nature of the above orèinD~ae it had to be held over until the next regular se~sion. Attorney Abraham said the Dbovo ordinance was sponso~ed by Councilman Scheyer, Co'pcilman Scheyer explained and described the fin[l1~cial distress during the six months the center has been in operation they have an operating bud8~)t of ~;237. 00 per m:)nth they have roughfly have taken in by contributi'ns $500.00 and have raised by projects themselves another $8.00.00, they have renovf'ted the center, they pay li.'"';ht, heat, rent [; etc. and felt the city felt the city should PaY the rent of a $125.00 per month and is why the recon~endati n for placing the propo~ed rental contract under the I)Ol ice department 'Nas based on the epartments youth program. Councilman Siebenbaum said he could see no emergency and also said he felt that anything that had to do w:ith recreati'ìn should come unë,er the park department. ;Jayor Smith c )mmented that he had a few reservations aoout :utting the supervision of the established activity under the police department, say ng he w~~s in favor of the Chief of Police atti tude tmvards working with the younger groups and thol.tgh tit has paid off more than anyone realized and would continue to pay of'f but Dill not sure about officiDlly saying tne p,lice department will run a rec center which could open the door to a lot of problems. Cmuncilman Hoglund said he thought the city has an obligation to provide some wholesome activi:~y for your youth, they've done a good job and need hell=' and that there vms an emergency need. ! Councilman conwented that it would be money well spent that it was about time the city started to get envolved. Councilman Ruby said that we are putting ourselves when they want to help themselves. ~rs Madge Wallin, librarian, pointed to available recreati nal facilites and relt they didnt need a night club. After some furth-3r discussion, LIayor S-'itþ.called upon Engineer 'ilarren to give a report on the condition of the City Hall. Engin~)er:¡arren Gave a detailed rerort of the survey that fuad been taken of' the city hall, and in that opinion it showed that the city hall building was structural s~und to encourage rehabili- tation. ?Tayor Smitþ. said he, himself, YIoulcllike to the the city hall building r$rovated. City Attorney Abrahrum s~id that renovation does not constitue restoration. He poi~ted out that tho original city hall bore litt13 resemblance to the artists conception of a rcn')vated structure. It it is going to be kept for h::storic ;Jurposes it should be restored to its orir;inal shape, if you modernize the interior ~rou wont have the original either. After some further discuss:ìon on price and etc, the colmc~_l retained Engineer Warren for another :nonth and [ls]-::ed him to bring back an estimatodc;Srice~~on-proceeding with a cost analysis of variot1.s renovation or restoration alternatives. n a pretty bad li~ht if we dont help them A resident of' Adelma 3each asked tho council for a tap in that area, he w"s inforr1ed that due to the ordinance an() VJ;1ter supply tl-.ÐBe V¡~S no much hope of securing a water tap at this time. Robert Sah1ie again brought up the bu:"-lding }:e rmit for a coTrJ.l:1ercial building in Blick 3 lot 1 in the Nat. City Addn. After considerable discussion about the fire code it was the opinion of tho council that the building shoilild be build to the fire code standards, and the permit would be approved if fire code standards was used.
