Mrs. Arends announced the Bremerton School Board will hold a public hearing
on February 19, 1998, 6:00-7:00 P.M., at the Administration Building Board
Room, to discuss the proposed elementary school boundary changes.
Mr. Overson reported effort is continuing to resolve the Bremerton Naval
Museum's continued operation. At a meeting today, vadous options were
considered including whether or not to move it to another location. He is hopeful
that this issue will be resolved by the end of February.
Mr. Law stated he was encouraged by Mr. Overson's comments regarding the
Naval Museum. He was pleased to report the District #3 Neighborhood Meeting
held on February 17, 1998, was well attended and interested audience. He
thanked Jim Spencer, Parks and Recreation Director, for his presentation on the
possibility of developing a community park on the Utility's reservoir property next
to the Senior Center. He also thanked representatives from the Department of
Transportation for their update report on the new Manette Bridge project. He
announced the program for the April 21, 1998, District #3 Neighborhood Meeting
will include the architect assigned to design the new Manette Bridge. He also
thanked Sergeant Kevin Long for his update report on what residents can do to
make sure they have a pleasant and friendly neighborhood.
Mr. Olsen reminded all citizens that the next District #1 Neighborhood Meeting
will be held February 19, 1998, 7:00 P.M., at the Sheridan Park Recreation
Center. The guest speaker will be Mayor Lynn Horton giving a State of the City
report and an update on the Sinclair Landing Project.
MAYOR'S REPORT
Mayor Lynn Horton stated the Legislative bill called "urban Stabilization", which
is a hybrid form of tax increment financing that a lot of other states utilize, is
dead; however effort will be made to resurrect it during the 1999 Legislative
Session. She emphasized even though that bill is dead, it does not affect the City
of Bremerton's business deal with the Commercial Group. Funding for the
parking facility is structured so that the City would use its incremental taxation,
which is appropriate inasmuch the City will own the parking structure upon
completion. The City had hoped that there would be State dollars available to do
some more infrastructure enhancement for the Sinclair Landing project.
On February 13, 1998, Mayor Horton met with Malcolm Fleming, Kitsap County
Administrator and Richard Wineman, Kitsap County's consultant responsible for
putting together their Comprehensive Plan, to discuss the City's issues with the
County's map identifying proposed urban growth areas. The Kitsap County
Commissioners verbally communicated with her that they felt Bremerton did not
want to grow beyond its boundaries, which is not and never has been the case.
The City is looking at potential growth boundaries based on service provisions,
TAPES #1525, 1526
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
February 18, 1998
Page 3 of 17
i.e., water and sewer, as well as the Brownsville corridor in as much the City is
hugely affected transportation wise because of that corridor. There have been
discussions about a third bridge and those discussions will probably continue, so
the Brownsville corridor is an area Bremerton is interested in gaining control
over. Also, looking to the south around McCormick Woods, a portion of the
McCormick Land Trust property falls within the City's water service area and
Bremerton is looking to expand its urban growth areas in that direction. Overall,
she felt that meeting was productive and another meeting is scheduled to focus
in on some very defensible urban growth areas might be for the City of
Bremerton.
Mayor Horton stated in reference to a recent Editorial in THE SUN regarding
release of salary information to the Sun, the City did release salary range
information to them. However, at the same time the Sun was asking for that
information, a reporter for THE SUN approached a City employee demanding
that individual hand over their personnel file. When the individual refused to
hand it over, THE SUN filed for it under "Freedom of Information". The City went
through that personnel file and removed all personal data that THE SUN was not
entitled to and then released it to them. The question is not a matter of what the
public has the right to know, but it has everything to do with the sensitivity in
which THE SUN uses that information to convey to the public. It has never been
her intention to withhold information from the public, but she does have some
issues with THE SUN regarding how they go about getting information and the
sensitivity with which they use it/
On the way to the City Council meeting, she stopped by the Kitsap Way
McDonalds and found members of the Bremerton High School Administration,
teaching staff and several parents were serving as McDonald's employees as
part of a Scholarship Fund raising effort. She encouraged members of the public
to stop by and support the funding raising event.
Mr. Shepherd asked Mayor Horton to elaborate on her earlier comments about a
third bridge for Bremerton. Mayor Horton stated the third bridge has been a
concept that has been discussed for a number of years, and has been discussed
as part of the City's Comprehensive Planning process for the Transportation
Element. There was a great debate and discussion surrounding the necessity for
a third bridge and what the levels of service should be identified for the VVheaton
Way/Brownsville corridor. The City is working with the State and Kitsap County
to formulate a "Major Investment Study" of the Wheaton Way/Brownsville corridor
to identify the issues, their impacts and possible solutions. She did not know if a
third bridge is in the future of the City of Bremerton, but it is something that has
been discussed without being resolved. Mr. Shepherd pointed out the cities of
Port Orchard and Poulsbo seem very concerned about the County's recent map
showing urban growth areas. He asked if Bremerton was as concerned as those
TAPES #1525, 1526
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
February 18, 1998
Page 4 of 17
other cities? Mayor Horton stated yes, she believes what the City is asking for
is defensible under Growth Management. If Kitsap County does not view things
in that same light, then further steps may be taken. At this point, it was her hope
that the City and County will come to amicable mid-point and something they will
accept and is acceptable to the City of Bremerton. This is an important issue for
the City since it will set City-boundaries for the next 20 years and how service is
provided to Bremerton and surrounding areas. Since the City provides service to
a lot of areas, the City needs to have input into that decision. If there is so much
growth that it outstrips the City's ability to provide service not only to that area but
also to our corporate limits, then we have a huge problem.
Police Chief Paul Du Fresne stated during preparation of the 1998 budget, the
City Council approved some reorganization in the Police Department, which
included the addition of an Administrative Analyst position. He was pleased to
introduce Tim Sholtis, who joined the City as the Police Department's
Administrative Analyst. Mr. Sholtis' impressive career includes an
Undergraduate Degree from North Dakota State University, a full career in the Air
Force achieving the rank of Lt. Colonel where he also completed his Graduate
Degree in Business at the Northern University of Colorado. Tim Sholtis thanked
the Mayor and City Council for the opportunity to serve the Bremerton residents.
He emphasized everyone has been very cordial and helpful so far.
Chief Du Fresne announced he would be participating in a Scholarship
Funding-raising event later in the spring at Tony Filippi's Restaurant that will
benefit Bremerton High School students.
PUBLIC RECOGNITION
Susan Brown referenced Councilman Montgomery's comments directed toward
her at the previous Council meeting, which overall she agreed with. However,
she felt his comments were delivered in a manner of a" prepared put down
response" to any citizen who dared to stand before the Council commenting on
that subject. She believed the situations where President Farr threatened her
with a restraining order and Councilman Montgomery's remarks were completely
out of line for the leadership of our City and certainly out of line for the leadership
of her hometown. She quoted from Mr. 'Montgomery's earlier remarks: "rules and
procedures don't preclude courtesy or sensitivity to public concerns and
viewpoints".
Carol Atkinson, Bremerton Main Street Association, announced the 7th Annual
St. Patrick's parade would be held on March 14, 1998, 11:30 A.M., on 6t~' and
Pacific Avenue. An Irish Luncheon will follow the parade at the Melody Lane
Restaurant. Mr. Shepherd asked if parade participants would be wearing
costume? Ms. Atkinson stated they welcome costumed participants, but they
are not required, and prizes will be award covering various categories.

Paul Drnievic, Bremerton resident, announced Citizens For Safe Water will meet
February 26, 1998, 7:00 P.M., in the Community Room of the Washington Mutual
Bank Building located on the corner of 5th and Pacific. The following telephone
numbers were given for anyone seeking additional information: 373-0723, 377-
5468, and 479-6652.
Ruth Natividad, 1948 Trenton Avenue, stated as a Bremerton resident for 54
years, she objected to the City Council, by means of a motion, approving
fluoridation of the City's water system without the consent of the citizens. With
the continued rise in cost of living in Bremerton, it is oppressive to seniors on
fixed incomes.
Phil Hec~clen, Bremerton Resident, handed out a flyer that contained pictures of
dental fluorosis and stated the reason fluoridation is promoted is for annual
profits resulting from moving the disposition of approximately 200,000 tons of
fluoride toxic waste products from a stringent class one landfill requirement
directly to the open market. It also emphasized that government agencies, such
as the US Public Health Service (UPSHS), the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA), and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), are normally run to protect
the publics' health; however, it appears they have become more and more the
tools of big industry.
James Hopkins, Bremerton Resident, referenced a recent magazine article titled
"THE DAY THE WORLD SHUTS DOWN, A SPECIAL REPORT ON THE YEAR
2000 COMPUTER CRISIS". Newsweek called it the day the world shuts down
and the event that could all but paralyze the planet (the 2000-year computer
bug). The Y-2K problem is a trigger that is about to cause a massive data
sensitive world-wide computer crash that it will literally bring down governments.
He was concerned that it would have that affect on the City of Bremerton. The
article stated that in 1965 it was shortened to "65" and the year 1977 was shorted
to 77, a harmless shortcut one would assume unless you reach the year 2000,
which world mini-frame computers have been programmed to read as 00. At that
point, they will automatically revert back to the year 1900. The programmers in
1960 never thought that business, government and finance would still be
dependent upon the same giant mini-framed computers in the year 2000 that
were used back then. He asked if the City is in compliance with Y-2K problem
coming up?

Mayor Lynn Horton stated Mr. Groneman, as a citizens, has been attending the
Parks Commission meetings for a considerable period of time. He and his wife
have one small child and he is very interested in the City's parks and recreation
system. Because of his enthusiasm and zeal in attending the Commission's
meetings, she believes that qualifies him to sit on that Commission. She urged
Council to confirm his appointment to the Parks and Recreation Commission.
Public comment - none.
Mr. Reed stated Mr. Groneman has also attended several KJtsap Lake
Neighborhood Association meetings. He found Mr. Groneman to be very
articulate and well spoken and his volunteedsm in the Parks and Recreation
Department is appreciated.
#1210 (MISICIU(LawlShepherd) Motion to confirm the appoint of Douglas C.
Groneman to the Parks and Recreation Commission.
8B - APPOINTMENT OF JOHN LYALL TO THE CIVILSERVICE
COMMISSION, #AB98-023
There is a vacancy on the Civil Service Commission and it is recommended that
Mr. John Lyall be appointed to fill the vacancy.
Mayor Lynn Horton stated Mr. Lyall is retired with an extensive background in
"personnel" and is currently working in the Real Estate industry. At the time he
submitted his application, he indicated several areas of interest; however, he
elected to volunteer for the Civil Service Commission. He is very knowledgeable
about personnel law and the Civil Service process. She was impressed with his
knowledge and willingness to serve in an area that for a time he wanted to
distance himself. She urged Council to confirm the appointment as presented.
Public Comment - none.
Mr. Shepherd stated this is yet another volunteer stepping forward to help
operate the City in an important position. He applauded his energy and spirit of
volunteerism.
Mr. Montgomery stated having spent 26 years in personnel administration, he
understood Mr. Lyall's feelings about distancing himself from that environment,
but it does get into one's blood. He felt strongly that Mr. Lyall would be an asset
on the Commission.

Mr, Montgomery noted Mr. Lyall lives in District #8, but had not attended any
District #8 Neighborhood meetings. Mr. Lyall related it is difficult to make
meetings having to commute to Seattle; however, he is no longer commuting.
President Farr thanked him for stepping forward to help with this important work
and congratulated him on his appointment.
8C - APPOINTEMENT OF EDWARD WOLFE TO THE PLANNING
COMMISSION, #AB98-024
There is a vacancy on the Planning Commission and it is recommended that Mr.
Edward E. Wolfe be appointed to fill the vacancy.
Mayor Lynn Horton stated Mr. Wolfe is an Attorney and a relatively newcomer
to Bremerton; however, he has an extensive background bringing people
together to build consensus and knowledge of land use legislation and legal
nuance. She believes Mr. Wolfe will bring a fresh perspective to the Planning
Commission and urged Council to confirm the appointment as presented.
Public comment - none.
Mr. Reed stated it is very nice to have someone over qualified for this type of
position in the City of Bremedon. He had a brief occasion to meet Mr. Wolfe and
he also believes he will be an asset with his legal background. He encouraged,
applauded, and agreed with the Mayor's request to appoint Mr. Wolfe to the
Planning Commission.
#1449 MISICIU(MontgomerylArends) Motion to confirm the appointment of
Edward E. Wolfe to the Planning Commission.
Mr. Shepherd asked if there were other vacancies on the Planning
Commissions? Mayor Horton stated yes, one opening and them is one opening
on the Civil Service Commission with the possibility of a second opening.
Applications for Boards and Commissions can be obtained through her office.
President Farr stated applications can also be picked up at the City Council
Office. Mayor Horton noted the need for more volunteers to serve on boards
and commissions, such as the Block Grant Citizens Advisory Committee and

8D - PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH BUMGARDNER
ARCHITECTS FOR PRE-DESIGN SERVICES FOR A NEW CLUBHOUSE AT
THE GOLD MOUNTAIN GOLF COMPLEX~ #AB98-025
In 1997, the Gold Mountain Golf Complex did just under 115,000 rounds from a
clubhouse that was considered inadequate before the new Olympic Course
opened. The current clubhouse is in poor condition with its leaky roof, failing
heaters and air conditioning, shortcomings relative to ADA requirements, and
general lack of space.
Requests for Statement of Qualifications from interested architectural firms went
out in September of 1997 to design a new clubhouse. Twenty-three firms
responded. This group was short-listed down to five, and each interviewed at the
end of October. The Bumgardner Architects were selected. Reference checks
were made and proved very favorable. Design will be done in phases and
contracted accordingly. The first phase is pre-design. The intent of the pre-
design service is to clearly define an overall project scope including building
program, conceptual site and building planning, utility requirements, and total
project budget. The costs associated with this phase are not to exceed
$20,200.00
Jim Spencer, Director of Parks and Recreation, stressed this is an important first
step toward getting a clubhouse that reflects the quality of the two courses. He
briefly reviewed the elaborate process used to select an Architect firm.
References were checked, including users of other facilities designed by the
subject firm, which all proved favorable. He explained that pre-design would
allow the City to explore ideas relative to what is needed in the way of a new
clubhouse for the Gold Mountain Golf Complex. Placement of this facility is not
limited to one location, so elements of views and other amenities within the
surrounding area will be taken into consideration.
Public comment - none.
Mr. Reed asked who is in the guiding position to convey what is desired for this
facility? Mr. Spencer stated typically it would be the Board of Directors
associated with the Golf Complex and ultimately he envisioned a session with the
City Council to gain their input.
#1756 MISICIU(MontgomerylOIsen) Motion to authorize and direct the Mayor to
execute the Professional Services Agreement With The Bumgardner Architects
to provide pre-design services as described under Scope of Work in the
Professional Services Agreement.
8E - CORROSION CONTROL AND FLUORIDATION FACILITY - PURCHASF
OF CHEMICAL PUMPS~ #AB98-026
(0
TAPES #1525, 1526
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
February 18, 1998
Page 9 of 17
The Corrosion Control and Fluoridation Facility (CCFF) includes four chemical
feed pumps. Due to the wide range of chemical flowrates required along with the
necessity to operate the facility remotely, only one type of pump is appropriate for
the chemical dosing. To ensure that the appropriate pumps aro procured, the
pumps and controllers are to be sole source items. During design a quote of
$32,106.00 (plus sales tax) was obtained from the equipment supplier for the four
chemical feed pumps and associated equipment. This quote is valid until March
20, 1998. After this date the cost for the equipment will increase by $6,800.
Approval will allow the City to purchase this equipment at the current quoted
price. The equipment will be provided to the contractor for incorporation into the
Corrosion Control and Fluoridation Facility.
Gene Sample¥, Public Works and Utilities Director, stated this request is a result
of two needs: (1) a unique pump that is remotely controlled and available through
a single supplier. The pumps are manually set and are fed through a stroke
process, not a constant feed process. The city has been assured a price for and
given a confirmation of that quote by Milton Roy, but indicated they would not
extend that quote beyond March 20, 1998. (2) To save approximately $6,800 in
additional costs by pro-purchasing the pumps. Mr. Sampley pointed out the
pumps would be supplied to the contractor, who would have the full responsibility
until they aro proven in testing the system, then they would return to the City in
the form of the overall system. He emphasized the City was at no risk in this
purchasing approach, which has been used before in limited situations where the
City could save costs as a result.
The following individuals spoke in favor of the proposal as presented: Jan
Thurston, Bremerton-Kitsap Health District; Gall Heistand, Kitsap Cares
Partnership.
The following comments were made in favor of the proposal: stated she
supported purchase of the pumps as presented. (1)National Oral Health
Conference was held February 9-10, 1998, in Seattle, and drew representatives
from the Center For Disease Control, National Institute of Health, National
Institute of Dental Research, Department of Health and Human Services,
National Maternal and Child Health Bureau, and people from across the United
States including California, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Texas, Oregon, Montana.
One of the presentations at that conference was "safety of fluoridation".(2 )
Council should support the original decision to implement fluoridation based on
scientific evidence and public opinion that it is safe and beneficial to children. (3)
In 1995 United Way of Kitsap County and the Kitsap Cares Partnership
conducted a Countywide survey that revealed the most important health related
unmet need in many communities was accessible dental care. And, that many
families were going without necessary dental care. (4) The Medical Health
Community was very grateful when the City Council approved fluoridation based

on the merits of the argument and obvious support in the community. (5) Council
should press on with the effort and approve the subject contract thereby making
20% savings.
The following individuals spoke in opposition to the proposed agreement:
Paul Drnievic, Citizens For Safe Water; Philip Heqqen, Citizens For Safe Water;
James Hopkins, Bremerton resident; Ruth Natividad, Trenton Avenue resident;
Elizabeth Buell, Bremerton resident.
The following comments were made in opposition to the proposal: (1) Citizens
For Safe Water are starting an initiative petition to create a Bremerton Ordinance
to keep the water system free of added fluoride. (2) The $1.2 million for this
fluoridation work and $90,000+ per year for operations will only add to Bremerton
residents' tax burden making them more upset than they are already over their
taxes. (3) If the initiative is successful, purchasing the pumps will be a waste of
taxpayers dollars. (4), it would be a waste of money and inappropriate at this time
to enter into such contracts. (5) who is liable for the condition of the pipes in older
homes when the City implements the corrosion control? (6) If water service costs
are increased $2.00 per month, will the sewer bill increase by $8.00 per month?
(7) Had Council given thought to the liability they would be bringing onto the City
in the case of an accidental incident in the pumping station and fluodde poison of
the population? (8) Fluoride has a tendency to break loose all of the covering
over the old lead and copper pipes. What will be done at the home to prevent
the corrosion from fluoride? (9) How will the corrosion control improve water
quality in older homes?
Gene Sampley stated in response to Mr. Hopkins' question relating to water and
sewer rates, those rates are entirely separate and the only way they are tied
together in the water bill is that consumption is a factor. Regarding reliability of
the corrosion control facility, it is telemetry monitored and metered continuously
as the chemicals are fed into the water. The City must provide corrosion control
as a result of old pipes in homes. The City is mandated to do testing at the
home, not at the water facility itself. The City's water PH level is basically neutral
and must raise it so that there is not an adverse affect of lead and copper falling
out of the old pipes. The result is to improve water quality in older homes. The
PH is raised by adding caustic soda and the addition of the fluoride compound
will drive it down so more caustic soda must be added. He noted Kathleen
Cahall, Water Resources Manager, would be able to provide more detailed
technical explanation since she is a Water Quality Specialist.
#2492 MISICl(OversonlMontgomery) Motion to approve a purchase order for
$32,106.00 with APSCO, Inc., for four chemical feed pumps for incorporation into
the Corrosion Control and Fluoridation Facility project, and authorize the Mayor
to execute the same.

Mr. Shepherd expressed concern about spending money when the Citizens For
Safe Water would be putting their effort into an initiative to bring before the voters
that could reverse implementation of fluoridation, He suggested tabling this item
for two weeks until it is known whether or not the Citizens For Safe Water are
successful in obtaining the necessary signatures for their initiative.
Mr. Montgomery asked if he understood correctly that the Federal government
dictated corrosion control and if the proposed pumps would assist that process?
Mr. Sarnple¥ stated yes, the Federal government regulates it and two of the
pumps are required for corrosion control. The other two pumps would be used
for the fluoridation process. Mr. Mont.qomery stated his support of approving
this item at this time, which will also provide a cost savings to the City and there
is nothing definite that an initiative process will be successful.
Mr. Reed stated if only two pumps are needed to meet the Federal requirement,
then there would be an $18,000+ savings to the citizens. He supports Mr.
Shepherd's desire to allow 2-3 weeks before a final decision is made since it
would allow meeting the financing deadline. If the opposition to fluoridation is
successful in the initiative process, he felt it was prudent to not spend the
$18,000 until the outcome is known.
#2708 MISlF(ShepherdlReed) Amended motion to postpone making a decision
on this issue for two weeks to ascertain whether or not there is a citizen initiative.
Mrs. Arends stated there are earnest people on both sides of the issue. The
previous City Council voted to implement fluoridation and now a citizens group is
making an effort to file an initiative to stop that action. She agreed that the
initiative, if successful, would be filed by March 20th, but there is no way for the
Council to know the outcome at that time. She asked if there was any provision
in the purchase agreement that would allow the City to return two of the pumps, if
the initiative was successful in bringing about a negative vote by the citizens of
Bremerton on fluoridation? Mr. Sample¥ stated he could not answer that
question.
Mr. Law stated he agreed with Mrs. Arends remarks and he did not support
stopping Council action on this item until next November.
Mr. Reed emphasized in two weeks several questions could be answered, is
there an initiative, have the required signatures been obtained; and it would be
prudent to give that fair consideration, if it were a fact. In addition, Mr. Sampley
could look at the option of returnable pumps, if in fact they were not needed,
which would address Mrs. Arends' question.

President Fan' stated he would vote "NO" on the amended motion. He was part
of the Council when the decision was made, 8 to 1, to approve implementation of
fluoridation. That process involved weeks of deliberations and that Council also
took action to approve the funds to build the Corrosion Control Facility. He does
not agree with the philosophy that says action on each item of purchase is
stopped due the possibility of an initiative being generated. He encouraged a
"NO" vote on the amendment and a "YES" vote on the main motion.
Mr. Overson stated the reason fluoridation was passed by the previous City
Council was because the evidence far favors installation of this equipment and
the Council is responsible irrespective of the opposition to move forward with this
project.
Mr. Shepherd stressed Council has moved forward on other issues, i.e.
docks/piers, sewer treatment plant. It concerned him that there has been a long
history of City government ignoring citizens concerns that bears witness that
Council should consider waiting to make a decision. The citizens of Bremerton
have a vital interest and a lot of energy. He could not see how a delay of two
weeks would cause the City any pain or suffering.
Mr. Montqomery stated he was not aware of the people living in Port Orchard,
Poulsbo, or any other city across the nation that has fluoridation, dying from their
water being fluoridated. He saw no reason to delay a decision based on
something that may or may not happen in the future.
Mr. Law echoed President Farr's and Councilman Overson's comments. The
City has made a commitment and if the public wants to change Council's
decisions, they can do it through the initiative process. He is in favor of not
approving the amended motion and approving the main motion.
Vote On Amended Motion:
Motion failed.
In Favor: Reed, Shepherd

8F - TELECOMMUNICATION TOWER LEASES WITH U.S. WEST, #AB98-027
U.S. West has proposed to build two 140 ft. telecommunication towers on City
property located at the Utility building on Olympus Drive and on Utility land out at
Anderson Creek adjacent to Highway 16. These leases are for 10-years with
TAPES #1525, 1526
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
February 18, 1998
Page 13 of 17
each tower site generating $5,000 per year in rent. The City and Cencom will co-
locate at no charge on these new towers while accommodating Cencom's future
expansion needs. Further commercial carriers that co-locate on these two
towers will pay 100% of their negotiated rent to the City.
Kathleen McCluskey, Director of Administrative Services, pointed out the two
leases are virtually identical in format and two motions are needed to approve
them. Representatives from U.S. West were present in the event Council wish to
ask them questions.
TAPE #1526
At the Olympus site, an existing 100-ft. tower will be replaced with a 140-ft.
lattice type tower. The Anderson Creek site, which is off of Highway 16, consists
of a new 100-ft. monopole. At the Olympus site, U.S. West will remove and build
a new tower, and the old tower will be moved to Oyster Bay for City
communication needs. U.S. West paid the $500 filing fee and a $1,000 option
payment is required, which will hold the land while they go through the permitting
process. It is their intent to move forward with the permit process and start
construction very soon. Because 'towers are in demand, the City is requiring an
option fee to encourage them to proceed through the zoning and building permit
process in a timely manner.
The cost of each lease is $5,000 per year and tied to a 4% CPI for a term of 10-
years. Normally, a lease of this type would be shorter; however, in this case the
company is building two towers, which is quite a financial investment and needs
a longer period of time to amortize that investment. At the end of the 10-year
lease there are option, i.e., the City could assume control of ownership, renew
the lease, if requested, or require that the towers be removed if no longer
needed.
The agreements include placement of City and CENCOM equipment on the
towers at no cost to the City. As identified in the Agenda documentation,
CENCOM will be placing new equipment on the two towers. The towers will be
large enough to accommodate additional users and 100% of any rents
negotiated will go to the City.
Public comment - none.

8G - RENEW ONE YEAR KITSAP YMCA MEMBERSHIP FOR ALL
QUALIFIED CITY EMPLOYEES AND OFFICIALS, #AB98-028
In February 1996, City council approved the initial t-year agreement with the
Kitsap Family YMCA to provide a health/fitness program. This program was
implemented to assist, motivate, and support employees in the improvement of
their well being. The program had been successful in improving employees'
morale, energy level, and decreasing stress levels. Due to the success of the
program, the Wellness Committee requested and gained approval to renew the
YMCA contract for 1997. Survey results indicate that the program is still well
received and employees would like it to continue.
Ordinance #-4514 allows expenditures from the Employee Medical Insurance
Reserve Fund for employee wellness programs, subject to budgetary
authorization of the City Council.
Barbara Forbes, Human Resources Department, stated surveys have been
conducted in order to make sure this program is beneficial to the employees.
With the exception of one response, all those surveyed had received positive
results, i.e., weight loss, improved cardiovascular system, decreased stress
levels, increased energy levels. The participants have indicated this is the best
program implemented for them. A survey question asked if the participants
wanted the Wellness Committee to consider any alternative programs and/or
facilities. Out of 88 returned surveys, three wanted the Committee to consider
facilities closer to their home (in the County area), and one wanted the
Committee to consider the services of a chiropractor. The participants viewed
the YMCA as a clean facility, with friendly staff, availability of daycare, hours of
operation are convenient, and exercise equipment met their needs.
April Chandler, reporter for THE SUN, asked how many people actively use this
opportunity. Mrs. Forbes stated on an average 106 employees participate in this
program, which resulted in 1,161 visits per month. She pointed out the YMCA
implemented an increase for their general membership; however, they reduced
the City's contract amount by $1,000 from what was charged over the past two
years. Had the YMCA increased the cost for City employees by that same
percentage, it would have meant a $3,000 increase.
Mr. Overson asked technically, wouldn't Ordinance #4514 allowed the approval
of this kind of contract through the normal budget process, in the interest of
business efficiency? Mrs. Forbes agreed that it would be an easier process.
Mr. Overson stated he supports this excellent program.

Mrs. Arends stated since it included City officials she plans to investigate the
opportunities it presents and urged Council's approval.
Mr. Shephe..rd.. emphasized this program is a tremendous benefit for the
employees and the City. He asked Mrs. Forbes to identify the subjective benefits
that have been observed in the Police Department and Fire Department in terms
of injuries. Mrs. Forbes added also in Public Works and utilities. There have
been many positive comments about preventing back injuries, particularly those
in the Fire Department; decreasing Worker Compensation Claims, absenteeism,
etc.
Mr. Montaomerv stated of all the comments, he has heard from the employees
regarding this program, he has not heard one negative comment. He agreed
with Mr. Overson that this contract should be approved through the annual
budget process.
#0338 MISICIU(MontgomerylReed) Motion to approve the expenditure of
$29,000 from the Employees Medical Insurance Reserve Fund to pay for the cost
of a YMCA membership for all regular employees and officials beginning March
1, 1998 to February 28, 1999.
8H - CONFIRMATON OF GLENNA MALANCA AS CITY ATTORNEY, #AB98-
029
The Human resources Manager has completed recruitment for the position of
City Attorney. The top three candidates were interviewed by a selection panel.
Glenna Malanca was the unanimous choice of the panel. The Mayor wishes to
appoint Ms. Malanca.
Mayor Lynn Horton stated this is the second process Mrs. Malanca had gone
through in a matter of months. She received a unanimous recommendation to
become the City's Assistant Attorney and again received a unanimous
recommendation from the Interview Panel to become the No. 1 candidate for the
City Attorney position. Over the past few months, she has gained the confidence
and respect of the staff, City Council and members of the community. Mayor
Horton was pleased that Mrs. Malanca was interested in becoming Bremerton's
City Attorney and has many years of municipal and legal experience. She urged
Council to confirm the appointment as presented.
April Chandler, reporter for THE SUN, asked if this would open up a vacancy for
the Assistant City Attorney position? Mayor Horton stated yes.
Mr. Reed asked if her accepting this position would mean she would be moving
into this area? Mrs. Malanca responded it is tempting; however currently she
owns two homes in Gig Harbor. Mr. Reed stated he commended her efforts so

81 - APPROVAL OF APPOINTING JUDY JOHNSON AS ACTING DIRECTOR
OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, #AB98-030
The Community Development Department has been without a Director since
January 1998. Ms. Johnson would have decision, signing and budgetary
authority for the department. All employees of the department would report to
Ms. Johnson until a permanent Director has been appointed.
Mayor Lynn Horton stated since the death of Donald Pratt in January, she
asked the Human Resource Manager to re-write portions of the job description
for that position, which has been circulated to the Council for their comments. As
of this date, no one on the Council objected to that re-written job description, so
she is proceeding with the hiring process to fill that position. However, in the
interim, upon the advice of the City Attorney, she requested an interim
appointment be made naming July Johnson as Acting Director of Community
Development.
Public comment - none.
Mr. Overson stated Ms. Johnson is very talented and the City is fortunate to
have someone with her excellence to step in when needed. He encouraged the
Mayor and staff to fill the vacant Director position quickly. Mayor Horton
reported she has heard from a number of individuals that there is a high degree
of interest for that position.
Mr, Montqomery stated Ms. Johnson is very helpful, knowledgeable and the City
needs someone to oversee the Department until the Director's position is filled.
Mr. Reed agreed with Councilmen Overson and Montgomery that Ms. Johnson
has done an excellent job for the City and he will support her nomination as
presented.

4. SUMMARY STATEMENT AND REQUIREMENT FOR COUNCIL ACTION:
The City Council has expressed a desire to establish a standard for the use of decorative streetlights in the
city. The priority location for use of this standard is in the SR304 corridor as Engineering Division staff are
currently designing improvements on the SR304 Transportation Improvement Project. The proposed decorative
street light standards will use a fluted pole and decorative base. It incorporates the same lighting pattern as those
on regular city streetlights. This would allow the same lighting pattems, intensity, and pole spacing. The increase
in project costs to provide decorative street light standards over regular standard street light standards is estimated
to be $137,000 for the entire project. This is a 2 3"percent increase over the total cost of installing a regular street
light system on the project, and is 0.5 percent of the entire SR304 project budget.
To establish the use of a decorative street light standard for the project, passage of the attached Resolution
is recommended. A citywide comprehensive decorative street lighting plan will be prepared for future Council
consideration.
8. RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council pass attached Resolution # .fig z//5-/ establishing the use of decorative street
light standards on the SR304 Transportation Improvement Project as the standard street light pole for the project.
