COMMENTS TO TilE. BREMERTON CITY COUNCIL Wednesday, March 26, 2003
by Helen Miller
MY FAMILY AND I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS OUR SUPPORT OF OUR MILITARY - AT HOME
AND ABROAD, IN THESE STRESSING TIMES. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK A LOCAL
BUSINESSMAN, CHUCK HATF. I.WOOD, FOR HIS SUPPORT OF A LOCAL "SUPPORT OUR
TROOPS" RALLY LAST SATURDAY - WHICH I LEARNED WAS BEING HELD FROM KVI RADIO
- 570 ON YOUR AM DIAL.
IN THE SAME VEIN, 1T IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT THE ANTI AMERICAN PROTESTS
LAST WEEK COST THE SEATTLE TAXPAYERS ONE MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE EXTRA
POLICE WORK AND MAN HOURS EXPENDED IN PROTECTING THE "RIGHTS" OF THESE
PEOPLE TO BE ANTI AMERICAN AND ANTI-MILITARY ON THE PUBLIC STRI~.I~TS, AND IN
THE PROCESS PARALYZING TRAFFIC AND DISRUPTING THE LIVES OF DECENT
AMERICANS GOING ABOUT THEIR WORKDAY LIVES.
KEEPING IN MIND THE EXTRA MILLION DOLLARS THAT SEA'I'ILEITES ARE PAYING FOR
POLICE AND FIRE PRO~ON FOR ONE UNSCHEDULED WEEKS WORK - I WAS
DISTURBED TO HEAR LAST EVENING THAT EVEN THOUGH THE MANY CITIT~.NS VOICED
THEIR OPPOSITION TO THE EXECUTIVE BRANCITS INTENTION TO REMOVE MONEY FROM
THE FIRE AND POLICE PUBLIC SAFETY BONDS TO PAY THE SALARY FOR A CITY
ADMINISTRATOR, AND A MAJORITY VOTE OF THE CITY COUNCIL SUPPORTED ~lR
POSITION - THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH IS AGAIN PROPOSING THAT THE ADMINISTRATORS
PAY BE PARTIAI.I.Y (65%) FUNDED OUT OF THE MONEY EARMARKF. D FOR POLICE AND
FIRE PROTECT/ON.
THE PUBLIC WH.I. REMEMBER THAT MR. BOT~MAN TOLD THEM THAT NOT A NICKg. I, OF
THAT PUBLIC SAFETY BOND MONEY WOULD GO TO ANYTHING EXCEPT POLICE AND FIRE
SALARIES AND EQUIPMENT.
ANY FUNDING FOR AN ADMINISTRATIVE SALARY SHOULD COME OUT OF THE GENERAL
FUND - WHERE SUCH EXPENDITURES ARE MORE VISIBLE TO CASUAL AUDIT.

Del Knauss charged that the Municipal Services Coordinator received several pay increases during a
10-month period through improper process, and requested the complaint be forwarded to the City
Auditor.
Helen Miller read a statement into the record which 1) suggested that either the new Government
Center or the Hotel & Conference Center bear the name of the honorable Norman Dicks, U.S.
Congressman for our area, for his "unfailing interest and dedicated support'; and 2) supported the
Council Members in their effort to come into compliance with the Bremerton Municipal Code with
respect to the pay increase issue.
John Lyall, a member of the "Positively Bremerton Association", complimented the Council on their
positive attitude, and asked that the Council work hard to continue the progress.
Bill Hoke, a member of the "Positively Bremerton Association", thanked the Council for the support
towards progress and urged Council to continue to focus on the future.
Gene Sampley, Public Works & Utilities Director, informed the public that 11th Street will be closed
east bound from Chester to Warren on Saturday, March 22 so that repairs and improvements can be
made with little impact to the City.
Kvle Kruger, member of the "Positively Bremerton Association", commented on the possibilities for
the City and was hopeful for what is yet to come.
8A - CONTRACT AWARD FOR PROCUREMENT OF SEISMIC BRACES FOR THE CASAD DAM
INTAKE TOWER {#AB03-042): Gene Sampley, Public Works and Utilities Director explained that
bids were opened for the Casad Dam Intake Tower Seismic Brace, Fabrication and Supply project on
March 5, 2003. There was only a single bid received for this project. STAR SEISMIC LLC was the
lowest responsive bidder with a bid of $159,548 (including sales tax). The Engineer's estimate for the
project is $130,000 to $170,000. This project is funded by the DWSRF loan.
This purchase includes fabrication and supply of six unbonded seismic braces for the Casad Dam
Intake Tower Seismic Upgrade project. The braces will be installed at a later date under a separate
contract for the construction of this project.
The requested action before the City Council is to award the bid in the amount of $159,548 with STAR
SEISMIC LLC for the fabrication and supply of seismic braces for the Casad Dam intake Tower.
There were no comments from the public.
#1580 MIS/CIU (Maupin/McConnell) Move to award the bid in the amount of $159,548 with STAR
SEISMIC LLC for the fabrication and supply of seismic braces for the Casad Dam Intake Tower and
authorize the Mayor to execute the necessary contract documents for the purchase.

9B - ORDINANCE (FIRST READING) REPEALING AND REPLACING CHAPTER 9.88 AND TITI F
9A OF THE BREMERTON MUNICIPAL CODE (#AB03-043): Simon Stocker, Assistant City
Attorney, stated that many of the current provisions of Chapter 9.88 and Title 9A of the Bremerton
Municipal Code are outdated, and that this proposed ordinance would increase the efficiency of our
efforts to prosecute crimes by adopting additional state criminal offenses into our code and by
improving the language in many of the existing provisions.
There were no comments from the public.
Mr. Rollman referred to the segment on "MISCHIEF ON BRIDGES", and expressed his concern that
suicidal individuals should not be punished, but instead helped. Mr. Stocker responded that no
changes are being proposed for this provision in the code, however, did point out that when people
attempt to jump off of bridges, it places rescue crews at risk with their reckless behavior, and should
be made responsible. Also, it may also be an action that motivates a person to seek help. Mr.
Rollman questioned the "FREEDOM TO DISPERSE" provision, and asked if it would apply to anyone
wishing to peacefully protest against the war. Mr. Stocker answered that it does not prohibit freedom
to peacefully assemble for protests.
Mr. Younger emphasized that the "MISCHIEF ON BRIDGES" provision was a tool for law enforcement,
and was in place to also address people who are playing on the bridge, and therefore did not support
the removal of this segment from the Bremerton Municipal Code. Mr. Nyqren and Mr. McConnell
agreed, and after elaborating further on the issue, supported no change.
Mr. Shepherd agreed with Mr. Rollman, and could not support the "criminalization" of mental illness.
Mr. Maupin asked if the language was removed, does the City still have the authority to help suicidal
jumpers? Mr. Stocker replied yes. Mr. Short was confident that at the scene, an individual would be
cited for the act, but then be recommended for psychiatric assistance.
#2292 M/S/C (Younger/Olsen) Move to approve the proposed ordinance on first reading.
Voted in favor of Motion: Younger, Maupin, Short, Olsen, McConnell, Nygren, and Arends
Voted opposed to Motion: Shepherd and Rollman
Motion carried: 7-Yes; and 2-No
With no further business, the regular meeting of the City Council was adjourned at 6:40 P.M. The
Council then reconvened in the Council Conference Room for a Study Session to discuss the "FY
2002 BUDGET STATUS REPORT".

SUBJECT: Entry level Salaries
DATE: March 18, 2003
Under Bremcrton Municipal Code, the initial salary rate of newly-appointed "management and
professional" staffshall be set at a level no lower than Rate 1 of the salary band. When it is in the
best interest of the City to attxact the most qualified candidates, the initial salary rate for a new
management or professional staff member may exceed Rate 1 provided such rate is approved by
the City Council. This condition of obtaining City Council approval for setting initial salaries does
not apply, however, to employees covered under existing labor agreements (Fire, Police and
Teamsters).
After review of appointments of employees covered under this "management and professional"
classification, there does not appear to be any formal record that the City Council approved the
hiring of certain "management and professional" staffat salary levels above Rate 1. In order to
correct this error or oversight, we are herewith submitting a list of such employees (see Attach-
ment "A") together with a request that the City Council confirms and approves the respective
salary rotes of these employees. In addition, we are providing a brief statement on the background/
experience of each employee (see Attachment "B") which provides justification and support for
such request.
Recommendation: The City Council approve a motion to ratify the salaries of the initial hires of
"management and professional" employees based the salary bands and rates on the dates of hire as
set forth under Attachment "A".

ATTACHMENT"B"
Pat Coxon - Prior to his return to the City in November of 1995, Pat had over 13 years with
Bremerton and six years as Plant Manager at the existing wastewater treamaent plant (WWTP). He was
hired at a higher rate based on this previous experience with the City and his documented history in
management of the WWTP. Pat was hired as the WVCFP Plant Manager when the City terminated it
contract with Metcalf & Eddy and assumed operation and maintenance responsibilities for the WWTP
and Pump Stations.
Lynn Price - Lynn Price was originally hired as the Transportation Senior Engineer replacing
Mark Souza who had resigned. Lynn came to the City with over 25 years experience with Tacoma Public
Works in a similar position. His strong technical skill and experience as a senior engineer and project
manager on federally funded projects made him the top candidate for this position. When the first phase
of the SR-304/Gateway Project was implemented, Lynn was reassigned in a lateral move as the Project
Manager for tiffs multiphase project.
Bob Earl - Bob Earl was originally hired as an individual contractor to perform construction
management for the City's CSO Reduction Plan implementation and worked as such for three years. Bob
demonstrated Ms value to the City and was asked to consider full time employment as a Project Manager.
This position was presented to and approved by City Council as a budget adjustment. The position was
offered to Bob at a rote, including benefits, as close to his consultant rate as possible.
Luke Korpi - Luke was hired as the Transportation Senior Engineer (currently Transportation
Managing Engineer). I-I/s experience and expertise made Luke the top candidate for this position. The
salary level was based on his existing salary as a senior engineer with the City of Seattle.
Dan Miller - Dan was originally hired in 1993 as the Project Manager for City capital projects
under the Public Works & Utilities Department until he resigned in October 2001. Approximately six
months after his resignation, with the revitalization efforts in the City, Dan was asked to remm to
Bremarton for this same purpose. Dan agreed and was rehired as Project Manager at a rate of pay that
would have been commensurate with what he would have been at had he not resigned.
John Poppe - Council approved hiring John at Band 4 Step 6 on August 24, 1994.
Paul Rogerson: Paul was hired at mid-range because he was the most experienced finalist in
number of years of professional practice and range of experience. He left the position of Planning
Director for Grays Harbor County at a similar salary level. Prior to that, Paul was the Director of
Community Development for Shelton, a position that entailed most of the functions of the Director
position in Bremerton. This was a lateral career move for Paul that had more to do with lifestyle
preference than "moving up" in career development. I-lis starting salary reflected that lateral move.
Denise Comstock: Denise was hired at mid-range to assume the duties that Debbie Pearler-
Stewart had executed as an Administrative Analyst. Just prior to the hire, at the Director's suggestion, the
two Administrative Analyst positions in the CD Department were reclassified as a Community
Development Program Administrator and a CD Program Coordinator to establish a slight staff hierarchy
in the CDBG/HOME program environment. There are minimal distinctions between the duties of the two
positions, other than the matter of program oversight, and there was a slight downward adjustment of the
Program Coordinator salary range to reflect this. Denise Comstock was hired as a highly experienced and
knowledgeable professional with years of experience in CDBG and Housing program administration at
the State and local level and as a private consultant. She needed little guidance and no training to perform
1
her new duties. In terms of salary, this was a lateral move for Denise from her previous employment at
the sa.me salary. It was also close to the entry-level salary of the prior Administrative Analyst position,
and some of the finalists for Debbie's vacancy expressed expectations of compensation.
Kathy Sharp: Kathy was hired above rate one because she had over twenty years experience in
Human Resources and a Bachelor's in Business Administration which was above the minimum
requirements for the position.
Annie Davis: Annie was hired above rate one because she had a master's degree in Education
with a Business major and 20 years of experience in Human Resources. She also had over six years
experience in state government that had a classified system (civil service) which was above the
qualifications.
Tim Sholfis: Tim was hired at Band 11, Rate 4 because he had previous work experience with
NYPD in the areas of live scan fingerprinting and Automated Fingerprint Information System (AFIS), a
Masters Degree and 90 plus credit hours in Economic and Business Administration, several years of
management experience, and other skills and abilities valuable to the position that other candidates did
not possess.
Theima Swem: Theima was hired from a Seattle law fzrm in February 2002. She is a nationally
certified legal assistant and, at the time of her hire, had over eight years paralegal and secretarial
experience. She is a superb employee and has been rated as "exceeding expectations" in all of her
evaluations. Thelma was initially hired at Band 6, rate 5 and took a si~mfficant pay cut when she accepted
this position. I was not aware at the time of her hire that Council approval was required to hire her at a
rate higher than rate 1.
Sherrill Huff-Menees: Sherrill was hired above rate one becanse she had over twanty years prior
public service, including eight years as Kitsap County Auditor; two years as Assistant Director of the
Washington State Lottery; and the Director of the Lottery's Management Services Division; two years as
Executive Director of the Kitsap Regional Coordinating Council; four years on the Bremerton City
Council, two as Council President; four years as representative to Puget Sound Regional Council; she was
also the Interim Director of Community Development Block Grant and Housing Rehab Program for the
City of Bremarton in 1987.
David St. Pierre: David was hired as an Assistant City Attorney in June 2000 at Band 9, Rate 5.
Mr. St. Pierre lel~ City employment in July 2001. There is no one currently working in the City
Attorney's Office to speak to the reasons why Mr. St. Pierre was hired at rate 5.

Division Chief Overall, the Code works just fine for processing and prosecuting adult misdemeanor and infraction
offenders. I do have some Code items I would like to bring to your attention, however, along with my
Jeffrey J. Jahns suggestions for possible action. Many of the suggested enactments result from legislative action in
Distxict/Municipal Olympia which have not been considered by the council.
Division Chief
There is no rush on this project. I will be out of the office from August 19th through September 13th.
