LEGISLATIVE REPORT A letter was read from Judy Johnson, City Building Official, to address the concerns raised by citizens at the May 19, 1999 meeting regarding Quality Used Tires on Naval Avenue.

He invited the Mayor and Council to tour the Materials Recycling Facility, their offices, and the Olympic View Sanitary Landfill at their convenience.

Del Knauss urged the Council to again study the issue for a change in government to a City Manager form of government, and cited a number of issues to support this request.

Minutes May 26, 1999 Page 3 of 9 9A - ANDERSON CREEK TIMBER SALE AGREEMENT. #AB99-091 Bill McKinney, Forestry Manager, reported this contract covers timber included in the "Option to Purchase Unimproved Property" agreement with Ronald Sciepko and Ellen Lunde approved by the City Council on November 29, 1995 and executed December 22, 1995. Timber will be removed under a Forest Practices permit for conversion to a non-forest use. Total price for timber only per the above referenced agreement is $906,020 of the total purchase price of $3,306,020. The Water Utility will benefit from the proposed sale at this time by receiving a substantial percentage of the total purchase price earlier than the scheduled closing date of February 28, 2000 for the Purchase and Sale Agreement. He displayed a visual of the 168-acre project area, and outlined the 111-acre area of the timber sale boundary. There were no comments from the Public. Mr. Law clarified that the property was appraised at $2.4 million for the land and $906,020 for the timber (appraised in 1995), and that the City is allowing the property owners to sell the timber, which still leaves the balance of $2.4 million, (minus the $175,000 already paid), due by the closing date of February 28, 2000. Mr. Overson wanted to clarify that the $906,020 amount was guaranteed to the City. Mr. McKinney stated that was correct, and noted that Mr. Sciepko would be required to make up any difference to the City. Mr. McConnell wanted to verify that precautions for "slash burning" were in place. Mr. McKinney responded they were, and any burning would required a "Burning Permit". Mr. Farr asked who initiated the action at this time to harvest the timber? Mr. Sciepko stated the request to harvest the timber was made so potential businesses could better visualize the site and eliminate some of the "unknowns"; to give the community as a whole the final confidence factor that Northwest Corporate Campus was happening; and this time of year is right for the harvesting of the trees. He described it as a "win-win" situation for both the City and the project. Mr. Reed wanted to verify that the mill was paying the City directly for the timber rather than Mr. Sciepko assure that Sciepko does not harvest the timber, and then change his mind about the project. Mr. McKinney stated the contract currently states that Mr. Sciepko will pay the City, but the contract can be changed. Mr. Law asked the potential for an erosion problem; and what was the time-frame between the logging and start of project. Mr. McKinney responded that due to the type of soil and flat topography, as well as the time of year, he did not believe there would be a problem with erosion. He added the intent was to begin the next phase of the project as soon as the timber comes down, but that phase of the project would need to meet the requirements of the City's Department of Community Development. He reassured Council the setbacks were well away from the streams. Mr. She_oherd received clarification on Section 2-0, the "Payment" portion of the agreement. #1786 M/SIC (Montgomery/Overson) Motion to approve the attached Bill of Sale and Contract to Pay for and Remove Forest Products from City Lands in accordance with established Administrative Policies & Procedures, and authorize the Mayor to execute the same.

Also, due to the listing of the Chinook as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, a Biological Assessment must be done to determine affects to the species by this project. City staff requires the expertise of a design firm skilled in the design of traffic signals and lighting, and a qualified biologist to accomplish a Biological Assessment. Skillings-Connolly was selected from the City on-call consultant roster, and has provided City staff with a scope of work and cost for these services of $40,000. The action before the City Council is approval of a Professional Services Agreement with Skillings-Connolly, Inc. for the design of the signals and lighting for the West Hills Commercial/Werner Corridor Improvements Project.

AND RESOLUTION NO. 2707 REGARDING RECOVERY OF FEES FOR THE ABATEMENT OF GARBAGE AND DEBRIS ON THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2764 MAPLI= STREET. #AB99-096 Judy Johnson, Building Official, reported that on March 12, 1999 the City of Bremerton removed garbage and debris from the property located at 2764 Maple Street after the owners of record, Richard and Deidre Finley, failed to do so as ordered by the Building Official. The costs incurred for this action totaled $1,018.85, which includes the standard $584.00 administrative charge for garbage abatements. Council must now decide if the fees are just and reasonable and how they should be collected. Photographs of trash found on the property were shown to Council and the Public. Paul Brooks wanted to know if the property owners live in this town or are they from out of town; and does the trash belong to the "owners" or the "tenants". Ms. Johnson stated the trash was "abandoned" so the answer is unknown. It is an unoccupied home right now, and the owners live out of town. Mr. Brooks stated that he understands that legally, clean-up is the responsibility of the property owner, however, landlords in this town are having problems with trash being dumped on their property, which he feels is unfair. TAPE #1620 #0053 M/S/C/U (Montgomery/Overson) Motion to pass Resolution No. 2707, and order that the fees incurred for the abatement of garbage and debris on the property located at 2764 Maple Street be collected as reasonable abatement costs and become a lien against the property. 12B - PUBLIC HEARING. AND RESOLUTION NO. 2708 REGARDING RECOVERY OF FEES FOR THE ABATEMENT OF GARBAGE AND DEBRIS ON THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2106 7TM STREET. #AB99-097 Judy John~;Qn, Building Official, stated that on March 12, 1999 the City of Bremerton removed garbage and debris from the property located at 2106 7TM Street after the owner, Rudy Pineau, failed to do so as ordered by the Department of Economic & Community Development. The cost incurred for this action totaled $1,305.38, which includes the standard $819.00 administrative charge for this type of abatement action. Council must now decide if the fees are just and reasonable and how they should be collected. Ms. Johnson added that she has spoken with the owners, who accepted full responsibility, and are currently working with the City to set up a payment plan for the fee. Paul Brooks reiterated that assistance should be provided to landlords to recover costs when garbage is left deliberately by tenants. Mr. Farr stated that as a landlord himself, he knows that extra precaution must be taken during the screening process to assure responsible tenants. He also reminded the public that it is much cheaper to clean up the trash themselves and avoid the administrative fees charged by the City when the City must do the work. Mr. Overson encouraged Mr. Brooks provide any suggestions or recommendations to the City. #0205 M/S/C/U (Montgomery/Overson) Motion to pass Resolution No. 2708, and order that the fees incurred for the abatement of garbage and debris on the property located at 2106 7th Street be collected as reasonable abatement costs and become a lien against the property.

Minutes May 26, 1999 Page 8 of 9 12C - CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING AND ORDINANCE {FIRST READING) ON TEXT AMENDMENT Z'FA 98-0001. #AB99-074 Jon Holan, Planning Manager, reported that the City Council is requested to conduct a public hearing on ZTA 98-0001, and at completion of the hearing, take the appropriate action. ZTA 98-0001 is the adoption of a new Chapter 21.03, Land Use and Development Procedures, amendment of portions of Chapter 21.02, Zoning Code, Repeal of Chapter 21.04, Shoreline Development, and amendment of Chapter 21.12, State Environmental Policy Act. These proposed changes would adopt a new permit process program for the City, eliminate shoreline requirements which have been superceded by the Shoreline Master Program, and revise the City's SEPA requirements to be consistent with state requirements and establish higher level of categorical exemptions in urban areas for minor construction. The proposed amendment is categorically exempt from SEPA requirements since it is the adoption of new procedures. Citizens who spoke in opposition to the proposed changes: Bernard Holland raised concerns over the "confusing" verbiage in the ordinance; Paul Scheyer, urged the Council to delay any decisions until after the Shorelines Hearing Board ruling; and Helen Miller, read a letter into the record pointing out numerous conflicts and errors in the document. A letter by George Miller (who was not in attendance) was also read into the record. Mr. Montgomery read his statement into the record, which raised many concerns over the confusing and unclear interpretations of the ordinance, and lack of appeal process. He asked that the Hearing be postponed to allow more time to study the issue. #2050 M/S (Overson/McConnell) Motion to remand back to staff to address concerns raised by the public, and to bring back to Study Session for further discussion by Council.
