COUNCIL MEMBER REPORTS
Mr. Colvin noted the recent passing of a long standing friend,
Floyd Williams, and extended his sympathy to the Williams family.
He congratulated Mr. and Mrs. James Walker on their being named by
the Martin Luther King Scholarship Fund as "Citizens Of The
Century".
Mr. McConnell reported he attended the December 17th Open House
meeting on the replacement of the Manette Bridge, which was hosted
by the State Department of Transportation and Council Districts #1,
2 and 3. He was pleased to report over 70 people attended that
meeting.
Mr. Winters wished everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy
Holiday Season. One of his constituents pointed out a recent
newspaper article about some of the more unique looking Christmas
lighting arrangements, particular on Mapleview Drive. He and his
TAPE #1429

son enjoyed driving around the city and seeing the many lighting
displays. Again, he encouraged everyone to support local fund
raising efforts.
Mr. Law echoed Mr. McConnell's comments regarding the Open House
meeting and the input given at that meeting was appreciated. He
thanked Councilman Neville for filling in as presiding President at
the December llth City Council meeting in his absence.
MAYOR'S REPORT
Mayor Lynn Horton announced starting on December 17 and continuing
to December 20, the City is hosting a Reader's Digest reporter,
whose mission is to interview people within the Bremerton
community. It appears a national survey named Bremerton as one of
the top cities in the United States to raise a family. A follow up
article will appear in a summer edition of Reader's Digest. She
noted many people are experiencing the flu and cold viruses and
cautioned everyone to take it seriously and to give themselves time
to recover fully before taking up work or other activities.
PUBLIC RECOGNITION
Kal Leichtman, Bremerton resident, thanked the City Council for
providing him with a report based on a request he made at a
previous Council meeting; however he could not accept the
information provided. The reason he rejected the information was
that the information he requested was on liability due to parking
strips and the report he received seems to lump in sidewalk and
planting strip defects. In his opinion, the report he received
just "muddied the waters"...trees and vegetation cause damage to
sidewalks and what he wants to know is what damage do automobiles
or other vehicles cause to parking strips. Therefore, he asked
that he be provided liability information relating strictly to
parking strips.
Larry Dickerson, Bremerton resident, commended the Bremerton Police
Department for their actions in handling problems with drug
dealing, prostitution, etc.. He also commended the City Attorney's
Office and the Fire Department for their assistance with a problem
regarding smoking in public meetings. On a negative note, he did
not appreciate the cold/icy way he was treated by a staff person in
the City Attorney's office today and was told if he called again,
he should call the Fire Department, not their office. Because he
believed he was within his rights, he was not intimidated by such
a response and it only invoked his competitive spirit. His
expectation is that City employees will treat the public in a
friendly manner.
Patri¢ia Mathis complimented the City on the newly paved portion of
Veneta Avenue and the fact the beautiful trees have been saved.

Gordy Byrd commented on the Christmas decorations and lighting
displays throughout the City and wished everyone a Merry Christmas
and Happy New Year.
John Thomas, Bremerton resident, thanked Council for the response
he received to his previous questions having to do with handicap
parking spaces. The information provided to him included the fact
that between February through November of this year 57 parking
tickets were issued for illegal parking in handicap parking spaces
on public thoroughfares, which should have netted the City
approximately $9,975.00, if they were charged at the full $175.00
penalty. He was pleased to report the City would be painting the
$175.00 penalty on handicap parking signs. He wished the owners
and managers of private parking lots would request the City patrol
their parking areas in order to identify illegal use of handicap
parking spaces. If his wife, who is handicapped, cannot find a
handicap parking space at Bremerton businesses, she will shop in
Silverdale.
Charlie Brown, Bremerton resident, stated in response to earlier
comments at this meeting and at previous Council meetings about how
people are treated by City employees, he feels City employees need
to take a sensitivity class in dealing with the public.
7A - 1997 AMBULANCE RATES -- APPROVAL FOR 911 BLS AID CALLS, #AB96-
287
Pursuant to the ambulance regulatory ordinance, ambulance rates
charged for 911 BLS aid calls must be approved by Council. Both
local companies, Olympic, and Bremerton have submitted requests for
rate increases for 911 BLS calls, to be effective January 1, 1997.
Clerk staff has surveyed regional ambulance companies for
comparable rates. All surveyed companies have raised their rates
since 1995 for BLS, ALS, and the array of products and services
they provide.
Paul Johnston, Tax and License Inspector, stated her staff was
involved in the rate comparison between Shannon Ambulance out of
Lynnwood and American Medtrans operating in the Tacoma and Seattle
areas. Representatives from Bremerton Ambulance and Olympic
Ambulance are available to explain their proposals.
Fire Chief Mick McKinley stated they have analyzed the proposed
rates, which have increased, but are in line with other regional
carriers. What is being seen in the industry is various carriers
being bought up by larger companies and the rates becoming more
uniform across the State and nation. He noted the rates proposed
for the Bremerton area are lower than other carriers in neighboring
communities.

Larry Dickerson, Bremerton resident, stated having been the
recipient on numerous occasions of the Bremerton Fire Department
transporting him to Harrison Hospital, he views the proposed rates
as reasonable.
Mr. Fart referenced a letter from Olympic Ambulance to the City
where they discussed a change in billing policy that lumps the
incidental charges and combines them into the basic rate. He noted
the discounted BLS rate in 1996 was $205.00 and the proposed rate
for 1997 is $255.00, which he views as a significant increase. The
explanation given for the billing policy change at the Fiscal and
Budget Committee meeting was that it would allow the ambulance
company to align themselves with industry billing practices.
Sharon Tucker, Olympic Ambulance, stated over the past year
Medicare has given them incentives and encouraged companies to go
to all inclusive billing. Most of the patients Olympic Ambulance
transport are on the Medicare Program and the Medicare billing
forms make it much easier to bill the all inclusive rate. Most
patients being transported by the Bremerton Fire Department would
use oxygen, but the all inclusive rate would not include: sit up,
second patient, second attend attendant. A cost comparison was
prepared showing the cost if line items were billed separately,
which resulted in a considerable lower rate than any other
ambulance company within the State. It is not planned that their
company become part of the larger consortiums. She noted some
patients would not use all of the items/equipment listed, but on
the average it does work out to their benefit. Also, additional
time and expense is required by their company, if some of the
employees in the Medicare and Medicaid Billing Offices are not
medically trained and deny charges that should not be denied.
Mr. Farr asked what the basic rate would be if the auxiliary items
were not included into that rate? Ms. Tucker stated $292.00, if
the patient used oxygen. If a patient used the cannula/mask, a
C-collar, which is most commonly used when there is a NBA and
backboard or spinal immobilization, the rate would be $292.00. Mr.
Fart questioned wouldn't people needing those types of items
require ALS support services verses BLS? He pointed out Ms. Tucker
did not actually answer his question. He noted the 1996 basic rate
was $205.00 and the proposed rate is $255.00. Ms. Tucker stated
her company was requested to provide a second rate proposal, which
she believed was delivered to the City on December 17. If Olympic
Ambulance went with a straight percentage increase, it would amount
to $215.25.
Mr. Colvin noted when he had need of ambulance services he was
charged for oxygen, which he did not use. When he inquired about
the charge for the oxygen, he was told he was paying for the
availability of the oxygen, if needed. Ms. Tucker stated that was
not standard and should not have happened.

Mr. Montqomer¥ stated he did not support the requested rate
increase; however he could support a cost of living (COLA)
increase.
Mr. M¢Connell asked why examples of other comparisons that bill in
the same manner were not provided? The two comparison companies
itemized all of the items? Ms. Johnston stated she had a
difficult time finding other companies because of the bigger
companies buying up smaller ambulance businesses. The two
comparison areas were chosen due to their comparable environments.
She did not try to locate one that had the supply rate built into
the base rate. Ms. Tucker pointed out even with their all
inclusive rate it is less than what the other two companies charge
for their base rate plus additional charges. Ms. Johnston stated
her office did not receive a copy of the second proposal identified
by Ms. Tucker. Ms. Tucker provided Council with a copy of her
second proposal.
President Law noted the addresses for Bremerton Ambulance and
Olympic Ambulance are at the same location - 2515 Cherry Place. He
asked if the two companies are owned separately? Ms. Tuoker stated
yes.
Mr. Overson stated this whole process has been a sore point with
several Council members for some time because the ordinance
requires Council's approval, but does not get the opportunity to do
a cost benefit analysis and determine what is really an appropriate
rate. He can find no basis for the increase except the ambulance
companies think they deserve an increase. Possibly the ordinance
needs to be revisited to add some requirements for reviewing such
documentation. He questioned the basis behind the City adopting an
ordinance regulating ambulance rates? Ian Sievers, City attorney,
stated the City has the power to regulate ambulances and must show
a need before taking over ALS service, which was done two years
ago. Mr. Overson noted most of the rates are essentially going up
at the COLA rates except for the two-patient charge, which leaped
forward and he suspected was somewhat tied with the increase of
discounted and undiscounted rates to take over all the ancillary
products. Ms. Tucker pointed out the Medical COLA is about 4%.
Mr. Neville referenced Ms. Tucker's second proposal and noted it
looked like the top line was reduced but added in more equipment
needed, such as gloves and masks. Ms. Tucker stated the second
proposal increased 5% straight across the board. Mr. Neville asked
if the charges for dressings, gloves, cervical collars, etc., are
actual costs that are charged to the ambulance company and proposed
to be increased by 5%? Ms. Tucker stated obviously anyone in
business does not sell things at their costs, there is a built in
cost to cover operating expenses. Mr. Neville noted the
#1246
TAPE #1429
city Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes

Page 6 of 12
documentation states the proposed rate will help Kitsap County
Emergency Service Council. He asked how many agencies are part of
that organization? Ms. Tucker stated all of the Fire agencies,
Harrison Hospital, Bainbridge Ambulance, and Olympic Ambulance.
Efforts are underway to get several Federal departments involved as
well.
Mr. Colvin asked, based on the expense ratio to the amount
received, what percent increase is this proposal? Ms. Tucker
stated she did not know.
Mr. Fart stated he personally liked the billing that one paid for
what was used, which has been in affect for quite some time. He
was uncomfortable with the second proposal provided by Olympic
Ambulance because City staff had not reviewed it in order to
provide a recommendation to Council. He suggested delaying
Council's decision for one week while staff had an opportunity to
review the backup rate proposal.
M/S/C(Farr/McConnell) to table this item for one week.

7B - WARREN AVENUE BASIN CSO REDUCTION PROJECT -- CHANGE ORDER ~5
WITH PAPE & SONS CONSTRUCTION, INC., ~AB96-288
Change Order #5 consists of two items totaling $14,566.66. Item 1,
in the amount of $12,566.66 was negotiated for additional work
related to installation of the 48-inch stormwater outfall. The
total amount originally claimed by the contractor after the work
was complete was $29,671.48. Item 2, in the amount of $2,000.00 is
for extra paving to properly restore 6th Street between Chester and
Broadway Avenues at the request of the City. The cost of Item 2
will be reimbursed to the project through an inter-fund transfer
from the Street Department. The construction cost with a 15%
construction contingency was used to establish a construction
budget of $3,739,377.00 at contract award. The total contract
amount, including Change Order #5 is $3,602,566.66, and is within
the construction amount established for this project. Change
orders to date for this project exceed the Mayor's change order
authority. Therefore, the action before the City Council is
approval of Change Order #5.
TAPE #1429
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes

Page 7 of 12
Tim Richard, Senior Engineer, stated Change Order #5 consists of
two components: (1) $12,566.66 for extra work claimed by the
contractor relating to the installation of the 48" outfall at Smith
Cove. The claims consisted of two components: (1) additional work
due to what the contractor claimed was change of conditions during
excavation and dredging of the outfall underneath a telephone
cable, which amounted to approximately $13,000 of the $29,671.28 of
the claim. The City believes that work was included in the
contract and could have been expected by the contractor, which
staff recommends be denied. The remaining approximate $16,000 was
cost related to delays from the Department Of Natural Resources
Lease acquisition. The contractor had mobilized their equipment
and had begun construction of the outfall when it was learned the
City would not receive DNR lease before the Department of Fish and
Wildlife's fishery window with stoppage of work in the water
effective March 15. As a result, the contractor had to demobilize
his equipment and then re-mobilize after the fisheries window, as
well as doing some resurvey work and cleaning out the end of the
pipe that had been installed. The total amount of that work was
approximately $16,000. Staff recommends that $12,566.00 be paid
and that approximately $5,000 was related to cleaning out the end
of the pipe, which the contractor should have notified the City
prior to their doing that work since the City could have performed
the work at a cost of $1,500.00; therefore they recommending
denying paying the remaining $3,500.00. (2) The second item of the
change order is $2,000 for extra paving to properly restore 6th
Street where they matched the lane line and resulted in a rough
ride. The contractor felt he could not restore the surface
properly without paving both lanes and offered to do that at the
cost of materials plus the cost of grinding and all traffic control
as well as paying for the costs associated with repairing the
original patch. That proposal was discussed with Bob Tulp, Public
Works Operations Manager, who concurred with the proposed work,
which was completed by the contractor.
Public comment - none.
Mr. Overson complimented those who worked on management of the
project to keep the costs within budget. He asked if this was the
last change order on the project? Mr. Richard stated yes, and a
lot of credit should go to Bob Earl, Construction Manager on the
project.
Mr. Montgomery asked if in Mr. Richard's professional opinion could
the contractor achieved a smooth ride if only the outside lane had
been paved? Mr. Richard stated no.
Mr. Neville asked if there was anything left to complete on this
project? Mr. Richard stated the final act is approval of this

8A - RESOLUTION #2575 IN SUPPORT OF THE MISSOURI ON THE MAINLAND
COMMITTEE (MOM) EFFORTS TO RETAIN THE USS MISSOURI IN THE
CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES, #AB96-289
The Bremerton City Council recognizes the historical significance
of the USS Missouri to the American public, and supports the local
effort to locate the ship within the continental United States.
Mr. Montgomery stated the Council disagreed with the Secretary Of
The Navy's recommendation to relocate the USS Missouri to Hawaii
rather than keep it in the continental United States. Another
disappointment was the fact there was a change in the application
process without proper notification to all of the applicants. Our
purpose is to get postcards sent to every member of Congress asking
them to reconsider keeping the USS Missouri on the mainland.
Veterans Organization throughout the country are supporting this
effort as well.
Charlie Brown, Bremerton resident, stated his support of MOM and
their effort to keep the USS Missouri on the mainland. He believes
if the Missouri is moved to Hawaii it will open the access to the
Japanese thereby increasing visitors to Hawaii.
John Thomas, Bremerton resident, agrees with this proposal. Some
of the alternatives named in article in The Sun leave lots of
questions, i.e. who is paying to move the USS Missouri from
Bremerton to Hawaii, someone will be paying to move the USS New
Jersey from Bremerton to New Jersey and then the alternative for
Bremerton is to pay for moving a ship from Philadelphia to
Bremerton? He supports keeping the Missouri on the mainland,
preferably on the west coast.
Mr. Winters acknowledged Mr. Montgomery's efforts in maximizing his
heartfelt desire to make sure the USS Missouri stays on the
mainland. He agreed with Mr. Brown that there are 250 million
Americans and if one tenth of them sent in a postcard in support of
this proposal he believed there would be a change.

Mr. Montgomery pointed out it is estimated that over 80% of the
American people living in the continental United States would never
be able to visit the USS Missouri in Hawaii. However, by locating
the ship in Hawaii the tourism of foreign visitors coming into
Hawaii is not that significant; although they do have 100+%
increase in Asians visiting Hawaii for vacations.
Mr. Colvin commended Mr. Montgomery on his efforts and asked what
effort is being made to alert other City Councils throughout the
United States to in this effort to keep the USS Missouri stateside?
Mr. Montgomery stated there is a group of people contacting their
relatives in various states requesting their participation in this
effort.
M/S/C/U(Montgomery/Winters) to adopt Resolution #2575, in support
of the Missouri on the Mainland (MOM) Committee's efforts to keep
the USS Missouri within the continental United States.
10A - PUBLIC HEARING - RESOLUTION NO. 2577, REGARDING RECOVERY OF
FEES FOR THE ABATEMENT OF THE PROPERTY AT 321 S. LAFAYETTE AVENUE,
#2091
#AB96-291
On October 28, 1996, the City removed garbage and debris from the
property located at 321 S. Lafayette Avenue, after the owner,
Beneficial Mortgage, failed to do so as ordered by the Building
Official. The cost charged to the revolving abatement fund for
this action totaled $291.66. Council must now decide if the fees
are just and reasonable and how they should be collected.
Janet Lunceford, Building Department, stated on October 11, 1996,
she received a call from the Health Department regarding their
attempt to get the owner of the subject site to clean up the
garbage. The owner let the mortgage company foreclose on the
property and when the City finally got involved the mortgage
company owned the site. Ms. Lunceford posted a 72-hour notice
because the Health Department had already taken some action, but
had no response. The mortgage company requested an extension of
time, which was granted for a period of one week; however, at the
end of that time there was no resolution to the garbage problem and
the Street Department was called in to remove the garbage on
October 28, 1996.
Public comment - none.
M/S/C/U(Montgomery/Huff-Menees) to adopt Resolution No. 2577, order
that the fees incurred for the abatement of garbage and debris
located at 321 S. Lafayette be collected as reasonable abatement
costs and become a personal judgment against the owner, which if
not paid within 30 days will become a lien against the property.

8B - RESOLUTION ~2576, APPROVING FINAL PLAT FOR SIX LOT SINGLE-
FAMILY RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION (PARR'S CORNER); APPLICATION:
CHARLES PARR/GERRY VERGEER; LOCATION: NORTHWEST CORNER OF M¢CLAIN
AVENUE AND SHERIDAN ROAD (628 SHERIDAN ROAD), ~AB96-290
The PB££1MINAflYPLA7 for Parr's Corner, a 6-lot subdivision allowing
relatively large lots, was approved by the City Council on July 24,
1996, subject to conditions (see Exhibit C with statements of
compliance). Improvements necessary for compliance with the
preliminary plat approval (sidewalks, utilities, and stormwater)
have been bonded to ensure their construction. Now, a plat map
prepared by a licensed surveyor has been submitted for Council
approval. If approved, the plat will be recorded with the County
Auditor. Title 58 RCW Boundaries and Plats allows for bonding of
plat improvements in order to obtain final plat approval. Final
plats require approval by the City Council.
President Law asked the "Appearance Of Fairness/Conflict Of
Interest" question with all Council members being seated after Mr.
Farr disclosed that a few years ago he sold a piece of property to
Mr. Vergeer, which he did not feel compromised his ability to act
on this item.
James Coombs, Land use Division of the Department of Community
Development, identified the Plat's location in a Single Family 3
neighborhood. At the time of application, the required lot size
was 4,800 sq. ft.. The preliminary Plat was approved by the City
Council on July 24, 1996, and the applicant has met all conditions
of the Final Plat including: completion of the bonding for
sidewalks, utilities, stormwater disposal and pole mounted yard
lights.
Public comment - none.
Mr. Montgomery asked if all of the concerns previously raised by
residents on the east side of the street had been met? One area of
concern had to do with lighting. Mr. Coombs stated notice was
given for the Final Plat approval and no one responded. The plan
proposes pole mounted yard lights on each lot consistent with the
existing lighting.
Mr. Overson questioned who established the conditions? Mr. Coombs
stated staff from various departments of the City identified
several conditions that must be met. Mr. Overson asked if the
conditions had to be met before the Building Permit is issued? Mr.
Coombs stated they must be completed or bonded. In this case, much
of it is bonded. Mr. Overson stated this site appears to be a very
vertically challenged and questioned the drop over the last four
lots? Mr. Coombs stated he did not know the exact figures;

however, he did have photographs showing the entire property. Mr.
Overson stated this project is a good test of the City's
environmental control procedure to ensure this project does not get
out of hand. Mr. Coombs pointed out an Environmental Check List
was submitted as part of the application process and a
determination of Non-significance was issued by Jack Allingham,
Senior Planner for Environmental Services.
Mr. Colvin stated he supports this proposal as presented based on
the adjacent quality constructed project completed by the
applicant.
Mr. Neville read the conditions listed on the blue prints for the
public's benefit. He also noted the large lot size for an in-city
lot.

Mr. Fart noted the excellent work done on the sidewalk in front of
the Admiral Theater and wanted to acknowledge Fred Hill Materials,
Inc. for donating the concrete, Ace Paving for laying the concrete
free of charge, and Northwest Laborers Employers Training Program
of Kingston for performing the artistic hands-on treatment on the
cobblestones. This Saturday, volunteers from the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers No. 46 and numerous JATC
apprenticeship program participants will work on installing new
decorative light fixtures in the theater.
Mr. Neville wished everyone a safe and happy holiday.
Mr. Overson echoed all previous wishes!
Mr. McConnell wished everyone a Happy Holiday, and thanked the
staff and administration of the City of Bremerton for all the work
done this year.
Mr. Colvin brought up the issue of the Oakland School
Administration and their recent decision regarding the teaching of
a "separate" language for black students. After quoting "evil
prevails when good men do nothing", he told of action he intends to
take, including writing letters, because he disagrees with this
decision; He mentioned a letter written to the editor of the Sun
about the USS Missouri, and how the City of Bremerton should stop
their efforts to keep the ship here. He disagreed with that
position and supports all efforts to retain the USS Missouri in
Bremerton. He advocates establishing a center with computers where
senior citizens could teach young students how to use them. He
congratulated James & Lillian Walker for being named "Citizens of
the Century" by the Martin Luther King Scholarship Fund. He wished
all citizens a healthful and happy holiday and also for the whole
year to come.
Mr. Law wished a Happy Holiday Season to all.
MAYORIS REPORT
Mayor Lynn Horton reported she had an opportunity on Friday to view
the inside of the Admiral Theater and was very impressed. She
stated the work done was tremendous and will be a showcase for the
community. She described the motif which will include a floor that
looks like the bottom of the ocean, a panoramic mural depicting
ocean life on the walls, and lighting that will make the walls
shimmer, truly giving the sense of being on the ocean floor. She
concluded by reminding citizens not to drink and drive, and to have
a good holiday!
PUBLIC RECOGNITION
Kal Leichtman passed out a letter he received from the City
TAPE #1430
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
December 23, 1996
Page 3 of 12
regarding Sidewalk Defects, which states "...the only settlement
made was $18,000 with one claimant and was for damages that
specifically alleged planter strip defects rather than sidewalk
defects." He then read the definitions for the words specific and
alleged, and stated the letter is confusing, and is unclear whether
the City paid the claim without proof. He requested copies of the
original claim, and all other paper work connected to the $18,000
payment. In addition, he wanted to know who is responsible for
calling "concrete parking" strips, "planting" strips"?
Vern Borah, who owns a house on Marguerite, is upset about the
parking regulations. He questioned if any Council members live in
an older section of Bremerton with the narrow streets? After
counting four out of nine, he stated they would understand why he
asked that question, if the Sun newspaper prints his letter to the
editor. He asked how will emergency vehicles get through if
parking is no longer allowed on the parking/planting strips and
cars are forced to park on the narrow streets? He raised the
following questions: (1) what section of the State law prohibits
parking on these strips? (2) if these are "planting" strips, who is
going to plant on them? (3) What about the concrete that is
already there? (4) Is the City going to remove it? (5) Does the
City have an ordinance on the books that they can not enforce? (6)
Citizens have been parking on the strips for years and years with
no problems.., why is the City is trying to correct a "problem"
that does not exist?
Tom Dorton illustrated the importance of parking in this area by
telling a story of working for the shipyard for over 38 years
before earning the status of achievement of his very own parking
spot. Upon retiring, instead of pleas for him to stay, there were
only arguments over who would get his parking spot! He appealed to
Council to put a lot of thought into this, because if it goes
through, it will disrupt his whole neighborhood and affect the way
they live their lives.
Reverend Cleveland Williams, Ebenezer A.M.E. Church, invited all
City of Bremerton Council members, Administration, staff, and all
residents of Kitsap County to the third annual Martin Luther King
celebration program to be held at the Kitsap County Pavilion on
January 20, 1997, 10:30 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. This is a united effort
for all residents of this area to come together under one roof to
celebrate the legacy Dr. King left for ALL people. This program
will be sponsored by the Kitsap County Commissioners, the City of
Bremerton, and Ebenezer A.M.E. Church. The theme for this event is
"A Man Who Climbed Mountains."
Del Knauss brought a Christmas and New Year "wish list" for the
Bremerton City Council and Mayor: (1) I wish that the City Council
TAPE #1430
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes

Page 4 of 12
would answer the public's questions in a timely manner; (2) I wish
the Council and the Mayor would develop a plan to stabilize the
sewer rates with no more increases; (3) I wish the Council and the
Mayor would develop a plan that lets Department Heads and their
staff do their job, instead of paying millions to consultants; (4)
I wish the Council and the Mayor would fix our existing streets and
alleys before they worried about grand speed ways into town; (5) I
wish the administration would not tamper with the Comprehensive
Plan or the Water Access Plan just to please one or two people; (6)
I wish the Council and the Mayor would develop a plan to spend HUD
loans on blighted neighborhoods -- $1.3 million would be a good
start; (7) I wish for a Council that has equal information for ALL
members, not a select few; (8) I wish for a Council and Mayor that
don't think that they know better, or more, because they are in an
elected position -- the public puts you in office, and should have
the same information; (9) I wish the Council and Mayor would take
a hard look at the Sinclair Landing Project and insure that the
public will not be left footing the bill; (10) I wish the Council
and the Mayor would give the public the total taxpayer's amount for
the Sinclair Landing Project; (11) I wish the Council would take a
close look at the Boards they sit on, and ensure there is no
conflict of interest when related issues come to Council for vote;
(12) I wish for a Council and Mayor that would balance residential
concerns against developers; (13) I want to thank the Council and
Mayor for the long hours they put in, and wish them a Merry
Christmas, and remind them if they are fair to the public, the
public will be fair to them.
7A - APPROVING CONTRACT FOR MEDICAL & DENTAL INSURANCE COVERAGE
(KPS AND WASHINGTON DENTAL PLAN F), #AB96-293
In October 1995, the City hired Melvin R. Smith, Employee Benefits
Consulting, to assist with the selection of medical, dental, and
life insurance providers. An Insurance Benefits Committee was
formed comprised of representatives from each union, management,
the Mayor's office, Jim Meith from Human Resources, and Kathleen
McCluskey, Administration Services. The committee has met on a
monthly basis since October 1995 to develop an RFP outlining our
insurance needs, evaluate responses, interview vendors, and make a
final recommendation. The selection criteria included: cost,
financial responsibility, flexibility, member satisfaction, quality
of care, and range of service.
Seventeen vendors responded (including life insurance providers).
Four companies were granted interviews for the health and dental
coverage. It is the recommendation of the Insurance Benefits
Committee that the following contracts be awarded:
Kitsap Physicians Service - medical
Group Health (AWC) - medical
O%
- 2.75%
#1045
#1064
TAPE #1430
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
December 23, 1996
Page 5 of 12
WDS Plan F
+ 9.69%
The medical services provided by both KPS and Group Health are
essentially the same as 1996. The dental program offers identical
benefits with an annual maximum of $1,500 rather than $1,000.
Kathleen M¢Cluske¥, Administration Services Director, added staff
worked with the consultant Melvin R. Smith throughout the process.
He provided an extremely detailed analysis of very complicated
information, breaking it down to make it easier to understand. The
entire committee interviewed the four vendors, and were unanimous
on their recommendations. As far as the dental plan, the employees
were polled to find out what they would like to see if additional
benefits were offered, and the increase to $1,500 annual maximum
was the highest priority requested. It is understood, however,
that this is a one-year contract only, and may not continue to be
offered if rates go up in future years, or if the financial
situation of the City changes. The overall rate increase is only
.73% for both medical and dental which calculates out to $12,300 of
about a $1.5 million medical benefits budget.
Public comment - none.
Mr. Neville asked for clarification on the requirements for
separate motions on this issue. Ms. McCluske¥ stated a separate
motion is required on the dental contract because a proposal is
being made to change plans to a higher benefit; and KPS is a
separate contract that requires a separate motion. No motion is
required for the Group Health contract. Mr. Neville thanked the
committee for their excellent work. Mr. Colvin asked if the dental
program was for both permanent and temporary employees? Ms.
M¢Cluske¥ stated it was for permanent employees only. Temporary
and seasonal employees do not receive medical or dental benefits.
M/S/C/U(Neville/Overson) to approve and authorize the Mayor to sign
the contract with Kitsap Physicians Service for the period 1/1/97
to 12/31/97; and
M/S/C/U(Neville/Farr) to approve the implementation of WDS Dental
Plan F for the period 1/1/97 to 12/31/97.
7B - 1997 AMBULANCE RATES -- APPROVAL FOR 911 BLS AID CALLS, #AB96-
287
Ms. Johnston stated this item was before Council the previous week,
where both ambulance companies presented their rate-increase
proposals. They also provided a second proposal, which was a
direct 5% across-the-board increase for all rates. This item was
held over a week to give the Fire Department a chance to review the
second proposal and provide Council with a recommendation.

City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
December 23, 1996
Page 6 of 12
A1 Duke, Assistant Fire Chief, stated the Fire Department has
reviewed the second proposal as requested by the Council. Before
giving their recommendation, he pointed out the Fire Department is
either directly or indirectly in competition with the private
ambulance companies, and do not know what their operating costs
are, so that cannot be taken into consideration. Therefore, the
Fire Department's recommendation is based totally on what is
comparable to other operations in the area. The Department
recommends the 5% increase over the last two years. This will
allow a smaller increase, and citizens will only be charged for
what they actually use.
Klm Doyle, Bremerton Ambulance, thanked Mr. Duke for speaking for
them, and stated she was available to answer any questions.
Public comment - none.
Mr. McConnell, asked when the "wait time" starts? Ms. Doyle
explained "wait time" is only charged if, for example, they were
requested to pick up a patient at the hospital at a certain time,
but the paperwork was still being completed and the patient was not
ready at the requested time; "wait time" isn't started until after
30 minutes. Another example may be if a patient must be taken to
another facility for radiation or MRI exams, and instead of
charging two base rates, a trip there and a trip back, they would
only be charged a "wait time" for the time it would require them to
get their treatment. Mr. M¢Connell questioned for clarification
then "wait time" does not begin at the scene? Ms. Doyle stated no,
never. Mr. M~Connell questioned how an ambulance company is called
to a scene? Ms. Doyle stated CENCOM calls are monitored by the
ambulance companies and they respond when in-city medical emergency
911 calls are dispatched to the Fire Department so that they can
provide back up assistance.
Mr. Montgomery repeated his comments from the previous week, that
costs are going up higher than salaries and he would only support
a COLA,
not a 5% direct increase which is excessive to him.
Mr. Winters asked how long Bremerton Ambulance has been serving the
City of Bremerton? Ms. Doyle stated she has only been with the
company since March, but as far as she knows it has been at several
years; and the last rate increase was January 1, 1995. Mr. Winters
stated the one thing he has learned since being a Councilman, is
that citizens feel health and safety are very important, so he
supports this increase because it will give the citizens a quality
ambulance company in the City.

Mr. Fart thanked City staff for looking into this issue, and will
honor their recommendation.
Mr. Colvin asked if the City has any way to determine the operating
expenses versus income? Mr. Sievers, City Attorney, stated the
information to rely on is what are the comparable rates being
charged in other cities, and the current rates being charged in
Bremerton are less.
M/S/C(Farr/Winters) to approve the proposed 5% rate increases for
1997, based upon the survey and the relative lower costs for
services offered by Olympic and Bremerton Ambulance companies.

7C - RESOLUTION ~2579t REGARDING AMENDMENT TO PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE,
FOR SR3/304 BREMERTON FERRY TERMINAL TO GORST VICINITY
TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, #AB96-292
At its meeting of December 11, 1996, the City Council held a public
hearing on the reconsideration of the preferred alternative for the
Burwell Street portion of SR304 as established in Resolution No.
2534 for the SR3/304 Bremerton Ferry Terminal to Gorst Vicinity
Transportation Improvement Project. A modification to the
preferred alternative was selected, and staff was directed to
prepare the attached Resolution memorializing the amendment to the
preferred alternative for inclusion in the Final Environmental
Impact Statement.
Randy Witt, City Engineer, stated the Agenda Bill is fairly clear,
and memorializes what was previously talked about at the December
11, 1996 Council meeting into a Resolution form for inclusion in
the Final Environmental Impact Statement.
Del Knauss referenced Mr. Witt's earlier comments about letters
being sent to the State before the citizens committee's final
recommendation, and emphasized if those citizens had waited to send
in letters after the committee's final recommendation was presented
it would have been too late to do anything. The letters stated
facts that people living on Burwell would lose parking if it was
made into a one-way corridor. Secondly, he felt wording should be
included in the Resolution that says the City will improve alley
roadways along that corridor and that any off-street parking
provided by the City be in place prior to the elimination of
parking on Burwell. Thirdly, he wanted Council to agreed that any
change would not happen until increased traffic justifies that
TAPE #1430
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
December 23, 1996
Page 8 of 12
action.
Kal Leichtman, Bremerton resident, expressed concern that anyone
attempting to cross Burwell at the intersection of High Avenue
would find it very hazardous if Burwell was made into three traffic
lanes. He witnessed a blind man with his seeing eye dog almost hit
at that intersection. Therefore, before Burwell Street is made
into three lanes it is important to take into consideration some
measures to provide safety for pedestrians crossing the street. He
suggested Council review Amendment 14 of the Constitution,
particularly regarding the equal protection clause, as it relates
to the City taking away parking from residents along Burwell
Street. He stated maybe Council should take way parking in downtown
Bremerton.
Mr. Colvin asked the City Attorney what responsibility did the City
of Bremerton have to provide parking for residents? He referenced
the time when parking was removed from Warren Avenue and how that
affected the residents in that area. Ian Sievers, City Attorney,
explained in neither case does the City have to provide financial
compensation or in-kind replacement parking. The error is in
calling it "their parking", it is not a property interest that they
have in the City's right-of-way that requires a due process before
the property owner can be deprived of that property. Mr. Colvin
asked what obligation does the City have to provide compensation if
parking is taken away? Mr. Sievers stated none. Mr. Witt pointed
out the proposed Resolution and the project lay out a method of
providing off-street parking to account for the on-street parking
that is removed. Mr. Colvin stressed that action may set a
precedent to provide similar parking in other neighborhoods. Mr.
Sievers stated it would not set a legal precedent, the City tries
to provide as many amenities for all neighborhoods as financially
feasible. In this neighborhood it may be providing parking lots.
It is not an equal protection argument that can be enforced. Mr.
Colvin asked if consideration had been given to the safety of
pedestrians along the Burwell Street corridor? Mr. Witt explained
that was addressed in the Resolution with the City committed to
review the safety, specifically at High Street and State Street.
Mr. McConnell asked when was the hold by the State put on the
project and who caused that action? Mr. Witt stated the record of
decision was put on hold by the Portland Office of the Federal
Highway Administration, who were aware and supported the Value
Engineering process that the City conducted last summer. The hold
was placed pending the decision to either not review it or if they
chose to review it the conclusion of the review. Mr. McConnell
asked if the State arbitrarily put a hold on the record of decision
without being asked or told? Mr. Witt stated they were aware of
the Value Engineering Study recommendation and they made the
#1808
TAPE #1430
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
December 23, 1996
Page 9 of 12
decision to initiate the hold. Mr. Witt felt that was a wise
decision and if they had not placed a hold on the record of
decision and it had been published in the Federal register, the
City would have additional steps to go through to modify that
record of decision than what is required at this point. Mr.
McConnell asked who in the city requested the Olympia Office to
take action? Mr. Witt stated no one, they were aware of the
project and the process the City was going through. In addition,
they were observers/partners on the Executive Steering Committee
and funding of the project. Mr. McConnell asked the time frame for
implementing the 3-lane plan on Burwell Street? Mr. Witt stated he
anticipated implementing that plan either summer of 1997 or in the
next 1-1/2 years.
M/S/C(Montgomery/Huff-Menees) to adopt the attached Resolution No.
2579 regarding the preferred alternative for the SR3/304 Bremerton
Ferry Terminal to Gorst Vicinity Highway Improvement Project.
Mr. Montgomery restated to his knowledge people living in the city
are not guaranteed parking on any city street in the United States,
nowhere does their Property Deed reflect such ownership.
Mr. winters stated he was concerned over Mr. Knauss's request that
wording be included in the Resolution that pre-situated alley
parking be provided. He pointed out there are alleys and people do
use them for parking at this point, but he could not find any
reference to them in the Resolution. Mr. Witt stated for
clarification he believed Mr. Knauss was speaking to the conditions
of the alleys and how people access parking garages or parking
spaces behind their residences. Mr. Winters was correct in that
the project has never addressed alleys, condition of alleys or
improvements to the condition of the alleys. The City is proposing
to construct pocket parking areas, which would be essentially
acquiring a lot and converting it into parking. He believes the
condition of alleys is a separate responsibility of the City.
Mrs. Huff-Menees stated since questions were raised during this
meeting with respect to some of the safety issues discussed in the
Public Hearing, specifically Mr. Leitchman's comments about State
and High Avenue, several of those safety issues were acknowledged
by the City Council and incorporated into the Resolution. She
asked the Acting City Clerk to read what is to be provided. Paula
Johnston, Acting City Clerk, read a portion of Resolution #2579 as
follows: "Revise the Executive Steering Committee recommendation
for that portion of Alternative C-3, between Callow Avenue and
Washington Avenue from a one-way couplet on 6th Street and Burwell
Street, to provide for: Three lanes of traffic on Burwell Street
generally from Hewitt Avenue to Pacific Avenue, with two lanes
eastbound and one lane westbound; retaining parking on one side of
TAPE #1430

the street; off-street parking to offset the removed on-street
parking as appropriate; "bulb" out curbs at intersections;
landscaping on Burwell Street; improvements to traffic signal
coordination system on Sixth Street to address westbound traffic;
improvements to the Burwell Street and Warren Avenue intersection;
safe pedestrian movements across Burwell Street, particularly at
State Avenue and High Avenue." Mr. Witt stated for clarification
that in the preamble of the recommendations it speaks about
revising the Executive Steering Committee's recommendation for that
portion of Alternative C-3 between Callow Avenue and Washington
Avenue from a one-way couplet on 6th Street and Burwell Street. He
referenced Resolution 2534, dated November 21, 1995, and reminded
Council that in 1995 there were a series of Executive Steering
Committee recommendations that were being either approved or
modified and in that Resolution it stated "we'll modify the one-way
couplet to a "do nothing" alternative. This goes back to that
original Resolution that stated we'll modify that one-way couplet
to include the items read into the record by the Acting City Clerk.

8A - ORDINANCE ~4581 (SECOND READING) ANNEXING AN AREA KNOWN AS
WERNER ROAD AREA, AND FIXING THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF ANNEXATION,
#AB96-283
President Law asked the "Appearance Of Fairness/conflict Of
Interest" question with all Council members being seated.
Ian Sievers, City Attorney, stated a change was made to the
Ordinance between first and second reading, which was based on a
new State Statute that involves the Assessor where property values
counted for the Auditor whether it is registered voters counted for
all City petitions, including Annexation Petitions, Referendums and
Initiatives. He noted the Ordinance now will be conditional upon
seeking that determination before it goes into affect.
Butch Duke, 5820 Harlow Drive, stated he was also representing his
mother. He pointed out during first reading of the Ordinance the
majority of the people in the annexation area voiced their
opposition to being annexed. Unfortunately, by State law it only
takes 75% of property value to bring about an annexation. He
quoted the following from the Staff Report under "Public Works and
Utilities: "The main issues in this area are the street widths and
(the fact that) they do not have curbs, gutters and sidewalks.
Most of the streets are below City standards. There are not City
funds (designated) to bring them up to this standard. It could be
#2293
TAPE #1430
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes

Page 11 of 12
accomplished through Local Improvement Districts or new
development." He questioned what City standards were referenced in
that statement? He is aware of many City streets that are narrow,
without sidewalks, curbs or gutters. Also, at the first reading of
the Ordinance there were two proposals provided by Terrie O'Neill,
Municipal Services Coordinator, now he would like to know which
proposal was approved by the City Council? Mr. Slevers stated he
was not sure the proposal for annexation was changed or that an
alternate proposal was submitted at the time of first reading of
the Ordinance. The annexation area is a portion of the Werner Road
area that was approved on 10%, and it is within the Council's power
and prerogative to only approve a portion of that on final
annexation, which is what is contained in the 75% petition. The
area in the attachment, both legal description and map, were the
proposal for final annexation. In regard to street standards, the
City requires new construction to meet current City standards.
Streets and sidewalks and other right-of-way development that has
been developed in the past probably was installed under different
standards.
M/S/C(Montgomery/Huff-Menees) to pass Ordinance No. 4581 on second
reading, annexing the Werner Road Annexation.
Mr. McConnell stated he believed the second option was to exclude
the Tweed area. Mr. Sievers stated Ms. O'Neill and the
Administration recommended the proposed annexation area; however,
the Council did have the authority to reduce the annexation area.
Mr. Colvin pointed out issue relating to street standards was not
part of this discussion and should not detour the annexation
action.

COUNCIL MEMBER REPORTS
Mr. McConnell stated he has noticed people in their vehicles
challenging the hills during the snowy/icy weather and not being
successful in their attempts. He cautioned everyone to drive
carefully and remember to turn on their headlights.
Mr. Overson stated his neighbor Bill Fletcher pointed out a concern
and that was to keep storm drains unplugged so that the stormwater
can run off so water does not collect and become lakes. Mr.
Overson noted City crews are aware of the problem and working to
TAPE #1431

correct those kinds of situations.
Mrs. Huff-Menees wished everyone a Happy 1997.
Mr. Winters echoed a Happy 1997 to everyone and a "thank you" to
the Council and Mayor Horton for a good job in 1996.
NAYOR~S REPORT
Mayor Lynn Horton was pleased to report most of the City had not
lost power during the recent storm. The bad news resulting from
the storm was the damage to several buildings due to roofs caving
in, i.e. K-Mart, Albertson's, Olympic College Library, a building
at the Junior High School, etc.. Governor Mike Lowry has declared
Kitsap County one of the Disaster Areas within the State.
Individuals that had storm related damage and were uninsured may be
eligible for FEMA funds. Information on the FEMA program can be
obtained by calling the Department of Community Development 478-
5275. Mayor Horton noted it was difficult getting information out
to the public due to The Sun's difficulty in getting newspapers
delivered; however, she urged the public to tune into KITZ Radio
for bulletins relating to the local areas. City facilities escaped
structural damage; however some water damage was experienced in the
City Hall Court Room, Probation Office and City Council Chambers.
Two storm related fatalities were reported in Kitsap County. Mayor
Horton asked people to be patient while City crews work to clear up
problem areas. She thanked all the City employees for working so
hard to resolve problems and make the streets safe for travel.
Lastly, she urged everyone planning to celebrate the new year to
please do not drink and drive.
President Law echoed the thanks to the City crews .
PUBLIC RECOGNITION
Linda Kroum, A.L.I.V.E. Program, thanked the City Council and
Kitsap County for supporting the A.I.V.E. program. She reminded
everyone that peace on earth begins at home.
Virqil Elkinton, Bremerton resident, expressed his concern over the
City's plan to remove parking from planting strips. He asked that
the City not make any decision on this issue until a group of
affected citizens have met with the City to work out an agreeable
solution.
7A - CHANGE ORDER WITH MARTIN BUILDERS, INC., ABATEMENT OF 108 N.
CAMBRIAN, ~AB96-295
In October, the Building Department contracted with Martin Builders
Inc., to demolish and remove the residence located at 108 N.
Cambrian Avenue along with the contents of the house and garage.
TAPE #1431
city Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
December 30, 1996
Page 3 of 4
A joint inspection by Martin Builders and the Building Department
revealed the house to be so full of debris that it was impossible
to access all areas of the structure for bidding purposes. Martin
Builders estimated the total cost of the demolition and removal to
be $9,984.24 plus tax. After the demolition was underway and the
debris near the entrances was removed, it was determined that
appliances, tires and other large solid waste items had been stored
in the building.
In addition, removal of the vegetation on the site revealed more
debris and a second garage, which was also full of debris. Lastly,
the removal of the foundation left a hole which needed to be
filled, the cost of which was not included in the original bid,
based on the premise that the City would be able to provide fill
material. This was not the case, and the contractor will provide
the fill. The additional cost for these items is $6,646.12, which
is greater than the $15,000 limit which may be authorized by the
Mayor without Council approval.
Public comment - none.
Mr. Overson stated he understood the information presented, but
found it difficult to understand why someone couldn't have seen a
second garage. Ju4¥ Johnson, Building Official, stated a garage
was included in the original estimate; however, when the vegetation
was removed it revealed another garage that was filled with debris.
Also, at the time the inspection was made they did not have access
to the basement of the house where they discovered a vast
collection of tires and appliances that had not been calculated in
the original estimate. Mr. Overson stated he assumed the cost of
demolition would be placed as a lien against the property. He
questioned if the property was worth the $15,000 lien. Ms. Johnson
stated yes.

4. SUMMARY STATEMENT AND REQUIREMENT FOR COTJNCIL ACTION:
Bids were opened for the Callow Avenue Basin Priority 1, Phase 2, Storm Drainage Separation on December 5, 1996.
Nine bids for this project were received. The low bid from R. L. Alia was $3,458,034. However, R.L. Alia requested
withdraw of their bid on December 6 claiming a bid error of $687,000. R.L. Alia's bid and claimed bid error total
$4,145,034. The second low bid was from Thomco in the amount of $4,914,962.50. The City Attorney has reviewed
this and recommended award to R.L. Alia at an amount of $4,145,034 as compromise and settlement of it's request for
equitable relief. The engineer's estimate for this project was $4,270,000. The 1997 budget included $3,534,000 for
this project. Public Works Trust Fund and Centennial Clean Water Fund Loans totaling $5,344,000 have been
approved to finance this project. To make adequate funds available for this project, a budget adjustment increasing the
Wastewater sources and uses of funds in the amount of $1,810,000 is necessary. The action before the City Council is
approval of a budget adjustment establishing a project budget of $5,334,000 and approval of contract award with R.L.

Re.-
Callow Ave Basin Project
Claim of error in bid submitted 12/5/96
Dear Mr. Earl,
We respectfully withdraw our bid for the Callow Ave Basin
Project submitted yesterday, 12/5/96. As you can see our
bid amount was extremely lower than the other eight bidders.
In reviewing our work sheets and the bid submitted, we
discovered that bid items 13 and 14 were inadvertently
transposed resulting in an error of approximately $ 687,000.
This error together with the bid amount would total
approximately $ 4,145,000.
This letter will serve as our official notice to withdraw
our bid.
For your records our original work sheets will be enclosed
with this letter to be mailed today.
Very truly yours,
R. L. Alia Company
