Mrs. Davis, of the Jefferson County Historical Society, appeared regarding tourists
groups not finding available restrooms for public use. She suggested Memorial Field
restrooms be left open at this time, alSO, may have to move the County Museum so will
need available facilities to move museum to. Mrs. Davis emphasied the museum personel
have been practica1ly volumteer. The salary paid is $1.15 per hour, she would like raise
for personel. She would like to increase the budget request to $3,000.00 per year
from the commissioners. Thes is the maximum they are allowed to five without vote of
the people. Mrs. Davis asked the commissioners to meet with the Mayor of Port Townsend
and the ~istorica! Society. 25 spots outside of the city are being considered for Natienal
funding as Historical site.
Mr. McKee appeared regarding an Amusement license. Mr. Daly felt the licens'ng of
multi-coin operated cachines are out of the hands of the County, and commissioners.
Multi-coin operating devices are gambling devices per see Huntingford and Kelly felt the
Attorney General issued an opinion only. O'Meara moved that the licese fee be accepted
and during the next six months interim the opinion and decision of the Att'y General be
clarified. Mr. Huntingford felt he would stand in abeyance, that the county would accept
no feo. Mr. McKee stated that pinball ~achineB are tree play devices and have never been
taken to court. He said the Att'y General vaid he will be taking a case to court within
the noxt 60 ~ye, for determination. Mr. Daly said if there are any doubts they will have
to b~ resolved. It appears to Mr. Daly that in the operation o~ any multi-coin device
including troe play devices, is against the law and it would indicate; to Mr. Daly that
the commissioners should act in nogat*ve manner, that no one her~ has authority to
condone ~omcthing that isn't cricket. Mr. McKee said he pays 20% ot gross to the state.
Mr. Daly Raid he should be paying 40.;. O'Meara again moved that license be issued as
has been in the past, that if the decision is reached by the Att'y General, the license
be reviewed at that time. Huntingford felt we, shouldn't go against I~x'. Daly's deter-
mination. Kelly telt we could go ahead and license. Mr. Daly said Slade Gorton, Att'y
Genon.l, told prollecutors at convontion at Rosario, that gambling as such taIls into two
catagories: 1. profesAionnl, 2. amatuer'.. He made his opinion and pushed his bell to
lend aid to church and non-pl'oth organizations so they could continue raffles, bingo,
et.. His ball would have paGRod h~d it not been for lObbying monies poured into Olympia
during log:l. sla tion by p1ullball pe'lopll0. He would like to have had an inquiry through a
prosocutor, but no prooecutor came 'through at tho time it would have boon moro pertinont.
Licensing ot multi-pinball macM.n"~ by profossioMl gamblers is precarious. (turther
di8cug~ion was held ov~r until ~ttornoon*
