10B - PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR LEGAL SERVICES WITH McGAVICK
GRAVES, P.S. REGARDING BURLINGTON TAX CASE (#AB01-222): Kathleen McCluskey,
Administrative Services Director, reported that the City of Bremerton has been in litigation with
Burlington Environmental, Inc. regarding a Business/Occupation Tax dispute for utility taxes owed
from 1996 through 2000. Burlington was prime contractor at PSNS for hazardous waste collection
during this time frame, generating about $6 million over the last four years. We were successful in
having this case remanded back to the City for proper administrative review. Our attorney, Steve
Reich, has withdrawn from this case. Paul Alvasted of McGAVICK GRAVES is a skilled tax attorney
who would be head litigator on this case. Staff recommends retaining MCGAVICK GRAVES, P.S. as
counsel to bring this tax case to a successful conclusion.
There were no comments from the public.
#0745 M/S/C/U (Arends/Reed) Move to approve Professional Services Agreement with McGAVICK

Bremerton, and authorize the Mayor to execute the same.
10C - AGREEMENT WITH CITY OF SEATTLE FOR PERFORMANCE OF A TAX REVENUF
AUDIT (#AB01-223): Kathleen McCluskey, Administrative Services Director, pointed out that in
conjunction with retaining McGAVICK Graves, P.S. as legal counsel in the ongoing tax case,
Burlington Environmental Inc. v. City of Bremerton, staff is recommending that we retain the tax audit
services of the City of Seattle Tax & Licensing Department. Seattle tax auditors are specialists in
gross receipt tax auditing. Seattle has agreed to perform the Burlington audit including fieldwork and
audit findings, and will be available to testify in court if the need arises. Seattle will charge $150 per
hour with the total not to exceed $25,000 without further authorization.
Bob Janacke asked if any money was won in this litigation, would it come back to the taxpayers?
Ms. McCluskey responded that the money would come back to the taxpayers through City services
like fire, police, and streets. Mr. Maupin pointed out that the law firm has agreed to take a lower fee
amount if they do not win the case; and Mr. Reed pointed out that the City was under a legal
obligation to perform this audit.
#0970 M/S/C/U (Reed/Olsen) Move to approve retaining the tax audit services of the City of Seattle,

the City Council. It was also pointed out that the Council was not being asked to approve the
implementation of the study. The implementation of the study will be considered as part of the overall
economic package, and is in the process of being negotiated between the City and the Teamster's
bargaining teams. Implementation will only occur upon formal ratification of a new labor agreement
by the City Council and the Teamsters upon conclusion of negotiations.
There were no comments from the public.
A lengthy discussion took place among the Council members, who believed this report to be flawed.
Council also inquired about the status of the Management portion of the study. Mayor Horton
reported that due to the complexity of this process, she felt it would be best to separate the
Manager's portion, which will be scheduled soon after this portion of the process is complete.

Compensation study for Teamster positions.

11C- ORDINANCE (FIRST READING) CREATING AN ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING EXAMINER
POSITION (#AB01-228): Chris Hugo, Planning & Building Director, emphasized that the proposed
ordinance creates an Administrative Hearing Examiner position to achieve the following intents: 1 ) to
separate the land use regulatory function from the land use planning process; 2) to ensure procedural
due process and appearance of fairness in regulatory hearings and decisions; 3) to provide an
efficient and effective land use regulatory system which integrates the public hearing and decision-
making processes for land use matters; 4) to provide for consistency and predictability in decision
making and the application of policies and regulations adopted by the City; and 5) to provide a forum
for conducting public hearings required by Bremerton Municipal Code and handling appeals of
administrative matters as assigned. This function can only be added to the City administrative
structure by Council action to amend the Bremerton Municipal Code.
Michael Carpenter provided comments in support of the City hiring a Hearing Examiner.
#3025 M/S/C/U (Shepherd/Reed) Move to approve the Administrative Hearings Examiner Ordinance
on first reading.
12A - RESOLUTION NO. 2837, REGARDING RECOVERY OF FEES FOR THE ABATEMENT OF
GARBAGE AND DEBRIS ON THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 241 S. CAMBRIAN AVENUF
(#AB01-229): Janet Lunceford, Building Inspector, reiterated that on August 21, 2001, Public Works
removed garbage and debris from the property located at 241 S. Cambrian Avenue after the owner,
Gary Atnip, failed to do so as ordered. The legal requirements for notice were met. The cost of this
action, including the administrative fee, totaled $1,021.66. Council must now decide if the fees are
just and reasonable, and how the fees should be collected.
There were no comments from the public.
Mr. Maupin pointed out that is seems unfair to charge a property owner for the actions of another
party. Mr. Reed asked if there are supposed to be administrative fees for both the cleanup and the
weed abatement? Ms. Lunceford affirmed that the administrative fees are accounted for in the total.
Ms. Arends stated that property owners have been held accountable in the past and that
accountability must be continued. Ms Lunceford also pointed out that if a violator is identified the
violator would be fined. When that is not the case, the property owner becomes responsible.
#3285 M/S/C/U (Arends/Reed) Move to pass Resolution No. 2837, to order that the fees in the
amount of $1,021.66 incurred for the abatement of garbage and debris located at 241 S. Cambrian
Avenue be collected as reasonable abatement costs and become a lien against the property.
12B - RESOLUTION NO. 2838, REGARDING RECOVERY OF FEES FOR RESECURING THF
RESIDENCE ON THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2133-11TM STREET (#AB01-230): Janet
Lunceford, Building Inspector, summarized that in November of 2000, the City of Bremerton ordered
the abatement and vacation of the structure located at 2'133 11th Street after a broken sewer line
inside the house made it unsafe and uninhabitable. The occupants were vacated by the Bremerton
Police Department, and the doors and windows were boarded up by Public Works to prevent entry.
On August 21,2001, the City was forced to return to this address after neighbors reported that
vagrants had removed the boards at the rear of the building to access the house. The cost of this
action by Public Works totaled $173.05. Council must now decide if the fees are just and reasonable,
and how those fees should be collected.

#3465 M/S/C/U (Reed/Olsen) Move that Council, by Resolution No. 2838, order that the fees in the
amount of $173.05 incurred for re-securing the building at 2133-11th Street be collected as
reasonable abatement costs and become a lien against the property.
12C - RESOLUTION NO. 2839, AUTHORIZING AN INTER-FUND LOAN FOR FINANCING THF
COSTS OF ACQUIRING THE EAST PARK PROPERTY FROM THE NAVY; AND BUDGET
ADJUSTMENT NO. 2001-17 (#AB01-231): Kathy McCluskey, Administrative Services Director,
affirmed that the City is in the process of acquiring the East Park property from the Federal
government. While the government is offering to convey the property free of charge, the City will be
obligated to pay for an environmental assessment of the property and other closing costs. These
costs are not expected to exceed $100,000. It is anticipated that the City's costs will be recovered
when portions of the property not needed for municipal purposes are sold for private development.
However, the timing of such sale cannot be predicted at this point.
There were no comments from the public.
Mr. Shepherd asked why the cost for the assessment of the lot is so high. Ms. McCluskey
responded that the Navy requires the assessment before the property can be conveyed. The amount
provided is an estimate and any funds not spend shall be refunded.

12D -YEAR 2002 CITIZEN'S ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS (#AB01-232):
Debbie Peavler-Stewart, Economic Development, stated that the City of Bremerton will receive an
estimated $550,000 in Community Development Block Grant Funds for year 2002 from HUD. The
City previously provided set-asides for the following activities: $90,000 for CDBG administration;
$100,000 for the City's housing program; and $50,000 for code enforcement. Applications for the
remaining $310,000 in funds were accepted on August 22. Staff received 18 applications totaling
$442,311 in requests. City staff reviewed the applications to determine if those applications met
threshold requirements and were consistent with HUD regulations. The Citizen's Advisory Committee
(Roy Mclnnis, Tina Davis, and Harry Combs) reviewed the applications, interviewed each applicant,
and rated the project in accordance with the approved action plan. The ratings were averaged and
funds were awarded to those receiving the highest average score. The Advisory Committee's
recommendations are attached to the Agenda Bill in the Council packet.
Susan Gower of the Sexual Assault Center thanked the Committee for their hard work and for their
recommendation to provide funds for this project. She encouraged the Council to approve their
recommendation.
#0145 M/S/C/U (Olsen/Reed) Move to approve the set asides and the Citizen Advisory Committee
recommendations as presented.

11A- RESOLUTION NO. 2840, DESIGNATING FEMA APPLICANT AGENT; AND PUBLIC
HEARING FOR DISCUSSION OF MITIGATION ALTERNATIVES {#AB01-239): Tom Knuckey,
Utilities Engineer, stated that as a result of the Nisqually Earthquake that occurred in February of this
year, FEMA Section 404 Grant money is available to mitigate areas of seismic vulnerability. Staff is
currently completing applications for various seismic upgrade projects under this program that has
been designated FEMA-1361-DR-WA-Nisqually Earthquake 2001. FEMA regulations require the
person providing information on the applications to be designated by a resolution. The motion before
Council for consideration is designation of Thomas Knuckey as agent, and Allison Duke as alternate
to provide to the State Emergency Management Division information on all matters concerning the
state disaster mitigation assistance. He provided additional information through photos. Specific
points included anchor straps that need to be updated to meet standards.
There were no comments from the public.
Mr. McConnell expressed his opinion that both Mr. Knuckey and Fire Chief Al Duke should be
designated as agents.
Council then held a discussion on whether the resolution and public hearing for discussion should be
heard as separate items, and verbiage of the resolution.
Greg Amann, Interim City Attorney, affirmed that the wording was appropriate. President Law then
concluded that the "designation of agent" issue would be considered, but that the public hearing
portion of the item would be postponed until next week to assure proper notice requirements were
met. Mr. Younger questioned if funding would be jeopardized by any delays. Mr. Knuckey
responded that the application is due by the end of the month.

11B - RESOLUTION NO. 2841, TEMPORARILY DECREASING THE SPEED LIMIT ON HIGBEF
ROAD TO 5 MPH; AND ON A PORTION OF AUSTIN DRIVE TO 25 MPH (#AB01-240): Jennifer
Strehler, City Engineer, said that the current posted speed limits on Austin Drive and Higbee Road
are 35 mph and 20 mph, respectively. Increased security measures in the vicinity of the Naval
Hospital have resulted in increased traffic congestion and on-street parking on Austin Drive and
Higbee Road. The City Engineer has determined, based on a review and observation of these new
traffic conditions, that the posted speed limits on Austin Drive and Higbee Road should be reduced to
25 mph and 5 mph, respectively. The speed limit reduction on Austin Drive would be between
approximately Wencker Way and Erlands Point Road. This measure would increase vehicle and
pedestrian safety. The reduced speed limits would remain in effect until such time as security
measures are lessened, and traffic conditions on these streets return to normal. At that time, the City
Engineer would return the posted speed limits on Austin Drive and Higbee Road to 35 mph and 20
mph, respectively. The request before the City Council is to approve the temporary decrease in the
posted speed limits. Staff recommends passage of the proposed resolution.
There were no comments from the public.
Mr. Reed pointed out there were no signs present to notify drivers, therefore requested additional
signage be placed in the area.
