EDIZ HOOK OVERNIGHT CAMPING Manager Whorton, Police Chief Cleland and members of the local Salmon Club spoke at length to the Council regarding parking and overnight camping on Ediz Hook. Ordinance No. 1014, adopted in 1935, states "it shall be unlawful for any person to erect any structure or set up any tent or shelter or materials upon any of the said portions of Ediz Hook without - the consent of the City Commission." However, tourists have been using this area during the summer months for overnight camping, and Police Chief Cleland has request direction from the Council on the policy the Police Department should take regarding the campers; repost the area and ban all parking and overnight camping, with the exception of the annual Derby Days celebration, or tolerate the campers until the Ordinance can be updated. Members of the Salmon Club which were present at this meeting stated they could handle the campers during Derby Days but could not handle them during the remainder of the year. The Council then discussed the crowded conditions of the local parks and campgrounds, and the possibility of allowing camping in a designated area on the Hook. Councilman Buck then moved the Council refer this matter to Manager Whorton and continue to disallow camping on Ediz Hook until such time as a satisfactory plan is presented to the Council for consideration. The motion was seconded by Councilman Anderson. Buring discussion on the motion, the Council further discussed the overcrowding of Ediz Hook during Derby Days and the possibility of limiting overnight camping to certain areas. Also during this discussion Councilman Hordyk suggested the Council continue to allow a policy of tolerance towards the campers for one more season until such time as the Ordinance can be re-written. On call for the question, Councilmen Anderson and Buck voted "AXE" with Councilmen Boardman, Hordyk, and Wray voting "N0." The motion died. Councilman Hordyk then suggested the Police Department post a designated area for overnight camping and continue the tolerance policy towards campers on Ediz Hook - until next year; in the meantime the Staff should work on re-writing Ordinance No. 1014. The discussion concluded with Attorney Walrath pointing out to the Salmon Club members that they do not, in any way, represent the City and should not look to the City for compensation for any injury to a Salmon Club member nor for any authority to direct people what they can or cannot do on Ediz Hook. 10.

In 1977 the City Engineering Department initiated a program calling for the re- alignment of Race Street in the vicinity of the Boulevard bridge. The nature of this project dictates the need for additional right- of-way, and property owned by Mr. Grinnell and located on the North- east corner of 10th and Race Streets, consisting of a lot and a half, has recently become available. City owned property consisting of 4 lots, 17, 18, 19 and 20 in Block 320, Townsite, located at 11th and "A" Streets, have been considered as the most logical vacant City lots with which to trade.
