RCW 35.3310 which states on or before the 25th day of each month the Mayor & Council will have
submitted to them showing expenditures and liabilities against each seperate budget apprepriation

with councilman Steve, for this might be value to each councilman, he said that councilman
Norwood had mentioned it to him a number of months ago. Attorney Abraham said it seems unlikely
the report would be more detailed from what we have had in the past in reading the bills and the
treasurers report each month which gives you all that information. Councilman NorwoeQ said as
we as councilmen cant add up these'bil1s & claims as read to'us and with this information will

The Mayor and City Council
of the City Qf Port Townsend
Please:find enclosed my check for $500.00'to cover master license'fee for coin operated machines
1\
for the year 1971. I respectfully request that I once more be granted this license, as in years
past. .
We are all aware that there is presently some conflict of opinion concerning such licenses, but
I feel, that your ordinance, which embraces' musice machines and other' coin operated machines, as
well as pinball machines 1s within the law, and requires a p~opÐr-license.
I In cooperation with the direc tive of the Jefferson County Sheriff, I have removed all pinball
machines from their Port Townsend locations, and have nG intention (æ reinstal!ing any such
machines until the legal status of the machines is clarified and the local law enforcement
policy permits such action. .
I trust that, with the foregoing comments in mind, you will see fit to renew this license with
Peninsula knusement LTD. for another year.

This letter is written to you on behalf of Mr. James (Bonzo) DeLeo. He needs your ass'istare e
on two matters. First, he needs authority from the Council to run, at entirely his own expense,
a temporary two-inch water line along 11th Street between Sheridan and Wilson. The first need
is an emergency need inasmuch as he must be able to supply water to certain houses that he has
er3cted in Block 77 of the Eisenbeis Addition. Withojt water the dwellings cannot be used.
It is possible that once the emergency is resolved the same two-inch line would be used to supp]y w
water ,to dwellings that might be built in all or a portion of Block 76 of the same addition.
Mr. DeLeo has sought permission to install the temporary two-inch l:ine and, although not turned
down, has so'far only encountered delay and inconclusive response from the city authorities.
Fer exacmple, he was advised by one city authority that to get wate:c> he would have to put in a
road along the subject area. Relying on that advide Mr. DeLeo did :C'un in a road along 11th '-
Street between Sheridan and Wilson.
Recently, Mr. DeLeo donated to the City an eight-inch sewer trunk line running from approx-
imately Cleveland Street'to Holcomb Street along or under 12th Street. With that sewer line
the City, not Mr. DeLeo, Will receive about $85.00 from eah user m~o hooks ont~ the donated
line. \ '
Temporary two-inch-diameter water lines have been insta~led ~uite recently elsewhere in the
city øf Port Tòwnsend without the installer encountering the difficulties that Mr. DeLeo has
so far endured. ' ,
The second need of Mr. DeLeo is. not an emergency need. It is merely his need that you
consider a water distribution development pregram to be implemented at some appropriate future
time for the area including and surrounding the aforementioned real property.

dwellings on 11th s treet. t.He~,àndrwi1.iD J;re'.þèfore you at your next City Council meeting,
January 5,1971, to attempt to mee~ his needs at that time. A copy øf this! letter has been

City Attorney to contact the city insurance carrlðr of' the posslbi1itles.
Mayor Smith brought up the letter from Mr Cal McCune on the DeLeo water situation, he commenteå
that it be referred to the water'committee~ He said that in a development of this scope a two'
inch water line would not be adequate that you couldnt even put a fire hydrant on the line. He '
said that the city is in a period of transition'and BOnzo was caught in the middle, but it was
up to the council on what they would l~ke to do. Councilman Steve suggested to allow insta11atioR
of a temporary two inch l~Be 'and require a no protest agreement along with. Af'ter some discussion
Co~cilman Steve made a motion seconded by Councilman Norwood that the city authorize that Mr
DeLeo put in the two inch temperary line and haye him sign a no protest ag~eement. Upon the
question Councilman Hoglund said he felt the city was somewhat liable, for they had allowed these
building to progress, he could see nothing wrong with granting a:tempor~ry line to serve these
specific locations along with thè no prates agreement. Councilman Judy said as long as we have
to go into sheridan, we shoulQ tap for a six inch line for we dont want to tear the street up
again. Councilman Steve said he would like to amend his original motion to say - The city authorizes
Mr DeLeo to install a temporary two inch line not to service in excess of four houses along with
a no protest agreement. Seconded by Councilman Norwooà.
Engineer French pointed out that it,wou¡d cost'Mr DeLeo the same amount of money to dig a ditch
and fill it back in for a two inch as a six inch, and if he was willing to pay f'or the six inch
tap the city would throw in a six inch line for two blocks. Councilman Steve asked for a roll
call vote on his motion with the understanding that DeLeo would negotiate with the ci~ engineer
regarding the six inch pipe. Roll call vote was taken, motion was carried.

Mayor Smith brought before the council the request œMr McKee of Peninsula Amuseme~t Co. for
a'master license. Attorney Abraham said that our ordinance specifically pinball machines of the
gambling type and states that such machines may not be installed in vi&lation of state law. Mr
McKee has complied with the law by removing all his pinball machines from the city. He said
that the citys 0Ddinance also embraces jukeboxes and other machines of a noninvolved nature, and
in his opinion the council can renew this master license of Mr McKees or anyone elses if' they
