4. SUMMARY STATEMENT AND REQUIREMENT FOR COUNGtL~CTION:
The Department of Public Works and Utilities seeks City Council approval to purchase panel diffusers fi.om Aerostrip
Corporation as an upgrade to the WWTP's existing aeration basin diffuser equipment in the amount of $72,925.26.
This upgrade is needed for the aeration basins due to the existing high power requirements and also the reduced
oxygen transfer capabilities associated with the existing coarse bubble diffusers. Aerostrip Corporation is the only
manufacturer of this type of panel diffuser. Their product meets our specific needs and will keep construction costs
down as existing equipment can be used in the upgrade installation. It is estimated that this purchase can save as much
as $50,000 over the life of the project. Pursuant to'BMC 2.76.600(a)(4), the City is not required to seek competitive
bids when the vendor constitutes a sole or single source for the product.
8. RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve the sole-source purchase of diffuser equipment fi-om the Aerostrip Corporation at a cost
of $72,925.26 and authorize the Mayor to execute the contract subject to current City policies and procedures.

In 1994 the State clarified elected officials' eligibility to elect membership in the Public
Employee's Retirement System. The City was also granted the discretion to make employer
contribution and interest payments for current elected officials for their current terms and any
qualifying previous terms of office. On May 21, 1997, the Council exercised its discretion as
indicated in Agenda Bill 97-106. It is now recommended that the City Council consider formalizing
the 1997 action as an ordinance, providing direction and clarity to City Staff in the implementation
of the Council's action.
5. RECOMMENDATION:
Move *~ ~reve
to exercise its discretion to make employer contribution & interest payments upon PERS membership
of current Council members, to the extent authorized by RCW 41.40.023 and WAC 415-108-550.

Oat~: 4/4/2001
Re: Council Membership in State Retirement System
Due to a recent expressed interest by a current Council member in the State Public Employees'
Retirement System, I had occasion to review the Legal Department's file regarding this legal issue.
Additionally, on November 21, 2000, the Council requested a legal opinion in regards to a request
fi-om a previous Council member, serving from 1983 to 1991. Being currently employed by a
different employer in a PERS eligible position, the request was made to the City Council for the City
to pay the employer contn'oufions and interest necessary for the purchase of back service crediL
CONCLUSION: A current Council member's request for payment by the City of the
discretionary employer contribution and interest payments for current and previous terms of
office is authorized by the May 21, 1997 action of the City Council. On May 21, 1997, the City
Council committed to pay the discretionary mounts upon a current Council member's
establishment of membership. Any requests by current Council members should therefore be
granted upon establishing membership, and the appropriate budget adjustment processetL The
applicable State law and WAC does not so clearly authorize the employer contributions and
interest payments by the City for Council members not currently in office, even if they are
currently employed by another employer in a PERS eligible position.
Prior to 1994, some confusion existed regarding elected officials' eligibility for membership in
PERS, as well as the appropriateness of the City's contribution as employer upon a Council
member's election of membership. Effective June 23, 1994, WAC 415-108-550 provides that elected
officials may apply for membership for their current term of elected office, and establish membership
and service credit retroactive to the first day of any previous term or terms of elected office. The City
was also authorized to pay the required employer contributions, with interest on those contributions.
The City payments on the employer contributions and interest are discretionary.
On May 21, 1997, the City Council approved the payment of the employer's contribution, plus
interest on that contribution, by action reflected on Agenda Bill No. 97-106. It appears that the
relevant WAC allows this option only to current City Council members, and does not authorize
payments by the City for any portion of the employees' (Council members) required contribution or
interest thereon. Likewise, under the WAC the City's option to pay employer contributions and
interest for previous terms of office is limited to payment for current elected officials. A Council
member no longer serving on the Council, but employed in another eligible position under a different
employer, would not antomaticallv be eligible for the City of Bremerton discretionary employer
contribution and interest payments. The Council can consider requests from former Council members
April 4, 2001
on a case-by-case basis. Recommendation is made that the CiW Attorney be requested to render a
determination as to legality of employer contributions and interest thereon upon a request from a
former Council member. In the event that no City Attorney was currently appointed, Municipal
Research Services Center could be requested to render a fact-specific decision. The Council could
then make a decision on the request for City participation.
Pursuant to Section 8 of the City Charter, the Citizens Commission on Council Salaries filed a Salary
Schedule on October 13, 1997. Of unknown and unexplained origin within the Salary Schedule was
the following sentence: Council members shall receive no medical, dental or other employee
benefit. As provided in Section 8 of the Charter, this Salary Schedule was filed in ordinance form,
and assigned an ordinance number, 4611. The Salary Schedule then became effective 30 days
thereafter. A careful review of Section 8 of the City Charter verifies that the specific authority of the
Salary Commission is limited to "fix a salary for each position", and to file a schedule of salaries in
ordinance form. While the Charter introductory provisions for the Commission indicates that the
Commission is appointed to set the "salary and compensation" of Council members, the specific
delegation of authority references only salary and a schedule of salaries for Council members. The
drafting of Section 8 has created an ambiguity that could be interpreted by the Court either to provide
or deny the authority of the Commission to establish Council benefits. Assuming that the Citizen's
Commission's authority to fix the salary and compensation for the Council members, I have
researched the Commission's Charter directed process in the formulation of"Ordinance" 4611.
The Salary Commission's minutes fi.om June through October 6, 1997 have been reviewed. Very
little mention of benefits for Council members is contained in the minutes. Ian Seivers, the City
Attorney in 1997, addressed the Commission and explained that the introductory reference to "salary
and compensation" enabled the Commission to address the Council's benefits, in addition to salary.
Nonetheless, the comparable's gathered for the Commission's consideration reflected almost
exclusively salaries. Information fi'om Everett indicated that benefits were handled separately fi.om
the Salary Schedule. Vancouver indicated that Council members received some benefits, such as
medical and dental. Most significantly, in the motion made and passed on October 6, 1997 to
approve the Salary Schedule, the Commission referenced only the Council members' $600 monthly
salary and the $25 monthly premium for the Council President. At its March 2, 1998 meeting, the
Citizen's Salary Commission approved the October 6, 1997 meeting minutes.
While this opinion is solidly based upon the fi.ailties of the Citizen's Council Salary Commission's
record, which reflects no basis whatsoever for the sentence negating "other employee benefit" which
appeared in "Ordinance" 4611, mention is warranted of a couple of State provisions affecting the
Commission's authority. RCW 35.22.205 provides:
The compensation and the time to be devoted to the performance of the duties
of the Mayor and elected officials of all cities of the first class shall be fixed
by ordinance of said city irrespective of any city charter provision.
The City of Bremerton must comply with the State statute mandate, and it is questionable that the
Salary Schedule filed by the Salary Commission pursuant to the City Charter meets those
requirements of the cried statute. Only three Washington cities are known to have Citizen Salary
Commissions, including Bremerton. Some interest and concem regarding these few salary
commissions have been expressed by State officials and an Attomey General's Opinion may be
issued in the near future, which may clearly define the validity of the commissions and the resultant
actions taken by the cities. It is also worthy of note that the Bremerton Citizen's Council Salary
Commission worked hard and served the City well in following the City Charter process directed to
them.
It is my opinion that the current Council Member's request for the City to pay the employer
contribution, plus interest on that contribution, is authorized by the City Council May 21, 1997
action. It is also recommended that in the near future the City Council consider formalizing the May
21, 1997 action as an ordinance, for future clarity and certainty for Council members and staff.
WAC 415-108-550 Elected officials--Eligibility and
application for retirement service membership.
415108550
Il) For purposes of this section and WAC 415-108-570, and

of elected service. To establish such membership~ the
official shall pay the required employee contributions for
the official's current term of elected service with interest
as determined by.the department.
(3) Upon establishing membership for the official's
current term of elected office, the official is entitled to
establish membership and service credit retroactive to the
first day of any previous elected term or terms of office.
To exercise this option, the official shall apply to the
department pursuant to subsection (2) of this section. If
the department approves the application, the official shal~:
(a) Pay the required employee contributions for such
previous term or terms of elected service with interest as
determined by the department; and
(b) Pay the required employer contributions for such

(b) Choose not to participate pursuant to the official's
elected position while continuing membership through the

office in the same or a different position for the same
employer without a break in service. An official does not
separate from service if the official resigns from the
official's elected position and is later reappointed to the
same position during the same term.
(6) This section codifies the department's long-standing
administrative practice in relation to elected officials.
The department will apply this section to service by elected
officials which occurred prior to the effective date of this
section.

CENTRAL KITSAP FIRE & RESCUE/CITY OF BREMERTON
JOINT COMMITTEE MEETING
MARCH 22, 2001
This work study session was called to order by CEO West at 0900 hours.
Minutes from the January 11, 2001 meeting were approved as written.
II Business: II
1. Committee/Division Reports were provided as follows:
· ADMINISTRATION: CEO West reported meeting for the second time with the
Bremerton City Council in a study session held on February 7. The overwhelming
consensus of the Council and Mayor was to give authorization for the Fire Chief
to continue the current study of proposed consolidation, annexation, working
agreement, or handshake agreement (all options were available) and this was
basically the last hurdle to continue on with the process. It was announced at that
meeting that we would assume this would be a two-year process and we were
going through and establishing what was previously referred to as a "matrix."
Branch managers and Division heads had been asked to have the matrix
completed by August 1. Some are done, some are partially done, and some are
just getting started. Clarified that the intent of the matrix was only to identify
assignments, events, or differences between the organizations in a listing and to
identify who is responsible today or is the contact person for those areas in each
organization. The intent was not to attempt to resolve the issues in establishing
the matrix. We have invited people across the spectrum to sit and meet with all
the Divisions--the broader the participation, the more likely we are to get all the
items on the list. Suggested that the managers on both sides establish what their
meeting schedules will be and send them out. Anyone interested in attending
those meetings can do so. Completed matrices are to be sent on disk to Joy
Grindeland prior to August 1. She will meld them for the Administrative
Subcommittee to prioritize, filter down to a manageable number, eliminate
duplications, and expand those too narrow in scope.
The Admin Subcommittee meets next week for a status review. Had previously
received a list of concerns from the Union and had acknowledged that the bottom
line for this thing to work is to have a joint labor agreement. The initial meeting
was held late last summer, met a week to 10 days ago and will meet again this
month (circa March 28) to identify where we specifically believe there will be
major impacts to the organization. There have been rumors and speculation
across the board about the potential cost of a merger--need to find the facts on
the numbers that have been bantered about. Will start work with the Union while
matrices are being developed.
For those attending the Labor Relations Seminar in Reno next week, CEO West
suggested meeting with members of the City of Reno Fire Department. City of
Reno annexed into Truckee Meadows Fire District. This is a major event for the
City of Reno, a long-standing fire department.
· MEDICAL: BC Eddings reported that the Division has not had any additional
opportunities to get together. Distributed handouts of what has been done up to
this point in time.
· UNION: No report at this time.
· PREVENTION: Nothing new to report. Had provided a Prevention matrix at a
previous January 31 meeting and assume it is ready to go Joy as is.
· CITY COUNCIL UPDATE: Councilmen Olsen and McConnell have been
appointed by the Council President to participate on this committee through year-
end.
· TRAINING: No updates.
· OPERATIONS: AC Lusk held one meeting. AC McKinley was unable to attend
so will schedule another meeting to get on track.
· PUBLIC EDUCATION: Judy Knudtzon noted that Pub Ed has been working with
Prevention and they are anxious to start meeting. They did the original matrix,
but some months have passed and it may be worth a revisit for potential minor
updates.
2. Rumor Control Document: CEO West noted that the Rumor Control Document is
now up to 22 items with the last update done 01/11/01and we are starting to see
questions that are rehashing issues previously addressed. Next week, prior to the
Admin Subcommittee meeting, he and Chief Duke will go outside of the rumor
control document and will prepare a one page, jointly signed, letter to give everyone
an update of where we are up to this point. Will send a copy to all stations and all
members by whatever distribution method is available, with the hope that this will be
helpful. Aisc asked for the help of people at these meetings to assist in providing
information to others.
CEO solicited any additional rumors heard since the last update:
· Rumor: Bremerton Union is pretty much not in favor of the ultimate goal.
Response: Part of the problem is that have gone for a long time this year
without meetings, which starts more rumors. There are still some concerns on
money issues and quite a few people believe there are bigger differences
between the organizations than what is perceived. Fair to say there is not
unanimous support at any level. But, there is a consensus of the people that
there are some opportunities in front of us, being as contiguous as we are and
with a successful response contract for the past two years, to see if there are
other advantages available to us, i.e. training, prevention, etc. If we find out that
a Union contract is not feasible, it is our job to find out what is salvageable out of
the process. It would be premature to throw in the towel and a benefit could

happen without a full merger. When all is said and done, the hope is that there is
at least something salvageable of the work that has been done. Suggestion was
made to have a position paper just regarding that issue signed by all to show the
people. Decision was made not to add this item to the rumor control document
as something similar has been previously addressed. Will cover update in the
upcoming letter to all personnel.
· The new CKFR Fire Chief, Ken Burdette, may be in attendance at the next meeting.
Chief Burdette is not a stranger to mergers/consolidations and is 100% in favor of
cooperative working relationships. He is scheduled to come on board on June 1.
· Update was requested on the D12 merger. CEO West indicated that CKFR had sent
a response to their petition and should know more by April 9.
