Editor, The Sun
The vast majority of the people voted for Change in this city. The
mayor ran his campaign on the premise of Change. And he was elected on
that premise by a huge majority vote. He has put together the plan that
is already getting dramatic results based on the people and the
circumstances that he believed would make the difference. He has
brought into the city government process the people that he has full
confidence in. It's his team. So far things are happening. It's
working! Developers are coming to our city rather than our city having
to go out to try to find opportunities.
It's important for the City Council not to respond to the minority of
the voters who would not support this Change. The majority has spoken,
and that needs to be heard and followed so that we can all move forward
into the excitement of great possibilities for our home city.

9A - RESOLUTION NO. 2859~ AUTHORIZING APPLICATION FOR FUNDING ASSISTANCE FOR AN
AQUATICS LANDS ENHANCEMENT ACCOUNT PROJECT TO THE DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL
RESOURCES (#AB02-105): Jodi Wroblewski, Parks Department Administrative Analyst, announced
that the City of Bremerton has embarked upon a downtown plan and development that envisions a
renovation to the entire area. Parks and open space are a critical component in achieving this vision.
To that end, the Navy is giving the City the property directly west of the Bremerton Transit Center to
develop into a park. The north end will house the Naval Museum and the rest of the area will be
developed into a downtown waterfront park that will enhance the entrance to the City. In order to fund
the development of the park portion, the City wishes to apply to the Department of Natural Resources for
an Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account project grant. The total development for the park portion of the
project is estimated to be $1,974,959. The ALEA grant request will be for a maximum of $9878,480.
The match (balance of funding) will be coming from City funds, and hopefully other grants (e.g.
Interagency of Outdoor Recreation grant submitted May 1, 2002).
There were no comments from the public.
#0915 M/S/C/U (Rollman/McConnell) Move to adopt Resolution No. 2859, authorizing the application for
an Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account funding assistance to the Department of Natural Resources for
the development of Maritime Park.
9B - ORDINANCE NO. 4805 (SECOND READING)~ AMENDING CHAPTER 2.04 OF THE
BREMERTON MUNICIPAL CODE (BMC) RELATING TO CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS AND
PUBLICATION OF COUNCIL SALARY SCHEDULES (#AB02-100): The first reading of the ordinance
was heard at the Council meeting on May 22, 2002.
There were no comments from the public.
#0965 M/S/C/U (Shepherd/McConnell) Move to pass Ordinance No. 4805 on second reading.
9C - ORDINANCE (FIRST READING) AMENDING BMC CHAPTER 21.02 (ZONING CODE) BY
PROVIDING THE REGULATORY MEASURES ALLOWING FLEXIBILITY AND DESIGN INNOVATION
WITH REGARD TO SETBACKS AND LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS (#AB02-106): Jim Svenson,
Planner with the Community Development, summarized that there are situations when the strict
application of the development standards articulated in the zoning code does not promote innovative
design and allow land use that best serves the public interest. There is a need for provisions in the
Code that will, after careful analysis, allow the Director of Community Development the ability to apply
administrative discretion with regards to development standards pertaining to setbacks and landscaping.
The Planning Commission has reviewed a similar proposal, which was entitled a "Plan-in-Lieu",
conducted public hearings, adopted Findings & Conclusions at a March 29, 2002 meeting, and
recommended City Council approval. Subsequently, an administrative (Type I) process pertaining only
to setbacks and landscaping will better serve the public interest. The Council must conduct a public
hearing prior to its final decision and action on the proposed ordinance in order to implement the zoning
text amendments.
There were no comments from the pubtic.
#1110 M/S/C/U (McConnell/Short) Move to approve the attached ordinance on first reading.

9D - ORDINANCE (FIRST READING) REGARDING ANIMAL CONTROL CONTRACT WITH KITSAP
HUMANE SOCIETY AND AMENDING TITLE 7 OF THE BREMERTON MUNICIPAL CODE (#AB02-
107): Police Chief Rob Forbes, said that the City Administration has been working with the Kitsap
Humane Society for over six months developing a revamped Animal Control Title and related contract for
animal control services for the citizens of Bremerton. This proposal includes several elements of
change: 1) The Kitsap Humane Society will provide all animal control services including 2 FTE patrols for
impoundment/rescue, facilities for intake, kenneling, licensing, adoptions and education; 2) Dangerous
dog laws have been clarified and the hearing process streamlined; 3) License fees for un-neutered dogs
and cats will increase to $35 per year; 4) Direct costs will increase $40,000 per year from the present
city program but include capital facility needs that the City needs to address if the City retains animal
control.
Gene Nelson provided a brief history of Animal Control from his term as Mayor; read a list of several
questions relating to the services provided in the contract; and expressed his concern that Animal
Control would revert back to past practices which may not best serve the community and that the
contract might allow some issues to be ignored such as removal of dead animals in the street. Police
Chief Rob Forbes, Assistant City Attorney Simon Stoker~ and Deputy City Clerk Paula Johnston
addressed all issues raised by Mr. Nelson.
Chris Nordleaf stated that although the Kitsap Humane Society does a wonderful job, she was
concerned that the City of Bremerton was unique in terms of its need for these services due to the
renter-ship and the abundance of animals that may be left behind when people move from the area; and
urged the Council to consider the issue of accountability of Kitsap Humane Society to the City if this
change were to occur, to research the amount of revenue the City may lose before "giving away"
Bremerton's Animal Control.
Tammy Coldberq, a volunteer for City Animal Control and the "Rescue Every Dog" (RED) organization,
reiterated the concern that the Council thoroughly research all options before making this decision.
Dou,q Wakefield, Animal Control Committee Member, agreed with the complexities of this issue, but
feels confident that this proposal would most effectively serve the citizens of Bremerton.
Joe Labady expressed his opinion that this proposal would be a "huge mistake".
Donna Bart spoke of additional issues such as "puppy mills" and other abuse to animals, in addition to
the unique-to-Bremerton issue of abandonment of pets by members of the military.
Winton Read with the Kitsap Humane Society, discussed further details in support of the proposal.
Mary Griffin Russell agreed with the previous comments for the Council to research this issue, and
hoped this was not a "done deal".
Earl Nelson wanted less emphasis on "animal welfare" and more emphasis on "people welfare"; asked
how this proposal addressed the problem of barking dogs; and closed by expressing his opinion that the
City should retain an Animal Control Department. Simon Stocker expounded on language contained in
the ordinance which addresses the issue of barking dogs. Mr. Read added that any animal causing a
threat would be immediately addressed by the City's Police Department. Chief Forbes emphasized that
Police Officers would still respond to late-night calls regarding barking dogs.
Mr. Nv_qren and Mr. Short both served as members on the Animal Control Committee, and offered
assurances that all of the issues were discussed thoroughly. Each expressed confidence in their
decision to support this proposed contract, and emphasized that it was a trial basis, with the opportunity
for a 6-month review.

Mr. Shepherd inquired if the Kitsap Humane Society uses cat traps and if they pick-up of the cats. Mr.
Read responded yes. Mr. Shepherd asked if the Kitsap Humane Society is currently approved for
FEMA emergency response. Mr. Read answered that the Kitsap Humane Society is a member of Kitsap
Animal Rescue Teams which is controlled by Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management
and FEMA, and that Kitsap County is FEMA certified and in turn registers individuals as disaster
workers. Mr. Shepherd also asked if the Kitsap Humane Society currently conducts active enforcement
or simply responds to complaints. Mr. Read stated that enforcement is complaint-based, but
emphasized that the Kitsap Humane Society would work closely with local law enforcement to look at
high incidence areas. Mr. Shepherd then asked if Kitsap Humane Society routinely applies for grant
funding. Mr. Read responded yes. Mr. Shepherd stated that this community is unique with respect to
its transient population and pointed out that responding only to complaints is not necessarily an
approach that will benefit the community.
TAPE #1836
Mr. Rollman thanked everyone who was involved in bringing this contract forward and asked if the
committee had considered the issue of privatizing the collection process. Mr. Read answered that
collection and the checking of pet licenses was not part of the agreement, and that fines would be levied
by the Municipal Court system. He further explained that in most jurisdictions, compliance is voluntary
and that enforcement is problematic and time consuming. Mr. Rollman asked for clarification on the
nature of future audits of the organization. Mr. Read responded that financial audits would be
conducted in the future not performance audits. If other attributes of service need evaluation, then the
organization would work with Council to develop standards to be considered for review. Ms. Johnston
added that the working relationship between the City and Kitsap Humane Society would be reviewed in
January 2003 and that his concerns could be better addressed at that time. She reiterated that revenue
has been historically consistent with respect to license fees and revenue from those license fees is
passed directly to the City.
Mr. Read stated that the ordinance allows for an additional change to improve the system would include
making pet shop operators collect the license fee upon sale of an animal and providing documentation to
the Kitsap Humane Society which provides another opportunity to people to license their pets.
Mr. Olsen thanked all of the citizens for coming forward with their input tonight in favor or against
contracting out animal control services. He expressed concern over the proposed practice of
"canvassing", which has been found to not be very effective in other cities. He emphasized that we
should rely on the people's honesty in licensing their pets.
Mr. Nv~ren recognized the concern over past performance in dealing with animal control issues and is
willing to look at the performance of the Kitsap Humane Society to see if that organization is living up the
agreement and meeting the needs of the people.
Mr. Younqer commented that there are probably many animals in the City that are not licensed, and
that licensing those animals could allow the program to pay for itself easily. He therefore suggested that
the issue should be addressed in the future.
Mr. Maupin explained that he understood that there is disagreement on which party should perform the
services but we need to consider who can do the job and best improve the quality of the services
provided to the people.
President Arends has reservations on this issue: thanked the committee for their efforts: and

decision.

for more important duties.

Appraisal and Compensation Information
Background: The City of Bremerton commissioned Richards and Associates, Inc. to
conduct a complete appraisal of a selected building site located within the boundaries of
Eastpark in May 2002. The purpose of this appraisal was to estimate the market value in
order to establish a concession rate value of a site to be acquired by concession
agreement from the City for an indoor ice skating facility to be developed, owned, and
operated by Silverdale Ice Arena, Inc. Richards and Associates submitted the appraisal
information in a summary report format on 1 June 2002.
Values: The Richards appraisal estimated the fair concession value of the site to be
$23,112 per year for 116,725 square feet, which equals $.198 per square foot per year. A
comparative market analysis of seven existing indoor ice skating facilities located in
western Washington in February 2002 established the fair rental or use value for indoor
ice skating facilities to be $220 per hour.
Calculations: The City of Bremerton has agreed to provide Silverdale Ice Arena, Inc
with 116,725 square feet of property at Eastpark to construct and operate an indoor ice
skating facility with associated parking. The parties have agreed that the "as-is"
concession rate value of this property is $23,112 per year (116,725 square feet ~ $.198
per year). The parties have further agreed that 8% of the $175,000 ($14,000) paid by the
City to defray the cost of moving the facility to this location, will be provided annually in
the form of additional ice time.
Conclusion: The City of Bremerton and Silverdale Ice Arena, Inc. have agreed that, upon
issuance of an occupancy pernxit, fair compensation for the Eastpark property required by
Silverdale Ice Arena, Inc. is $37,112 per year; and that fair rental or use value for the
Bremerton Ice Arena indoor ice skating facility is $220 per hour; and that compensation
provided by Silverdale Ice Arena, Inc. to the City of Bremerton for the Eastpark property
is equivalent to 169 hours of indoor ice skating facility usage per year for the term of the
Concession Agreement.

Subject: ~ro. posed Ice Rink - East Park (WA 666C2)
Dear MrS:
The National Park Service (NPS) is in receipt of your letter dated May 2, 2002 requesting an amendment to the
program of utilization for the subject property, in accordance with the terms and condition of the deed of
conveyance dated April 5, 1971. We understand the proposal would provide for the construction and operation
of a state-of-the art, multi-use indoor ice rink on an underutilized portion of the former federal property. The
proposed facility would cover 46,041 square feet and be served by an additional 146 additional parking spaces.
A private concessionaire would develop and operate the facility under agreement with the city.
We find the construction and operation of proposed facility would be consistent with the intent of the deed of
conveyance. The terms and conditions of the deed require the National Park Service review and approve the
recent request for an amendment to the program of utilization and subsequently an agreement between the city
and the concessionaire. As explained during our recent visit, NPS decisions on amendments to the program of
utilization are subject to review pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and NPS
implementing regulations. We understand the city's Community Development Director has determined no
zoning actions are required to implement the proposal, however following review of Washington State
Environmental Protection Act (SEPA) requirements and consultation with city currently planning staff, we
understand the project will require SEPA review as a part of the site plan review/building permit process. In
accordance with federal Council on Environmental Quality guidelines, NPS seeks to coordinate and combine
reviews under NEPA with this future review by city staff. Accordingly, we are providing a conditional
approval of the requested amendment to the program of utilization, subject to future environmental review
conducted in accordance with SEPA and NEPA requirements.
Following negotiation of an agreement between the city and concessionaire, please forward the agreement to
my attention for review and approval. We suggest the city include within the agreement a reference to
SEPA/NEPA compliance requirements. Other terms and conditions within the deed should also be referenced
within the agreement.
