COUNCIL MEMBER REPORTS Mr. Colvin, who will be celebrating his 75th birthday on June 29, was asked what he felt was his greatest accomplishment. He answered his attitude toward his fellow man, instilled in him by his parents, to treat everyone fair and equal. Mr. Law thanked all those who attended his District #3 meeting, and specifically Randy Witt for his presentation, and Sgt. Kevin Long for his update on the Bremerton Police Department. Mr. Neville wished Mr. Colvin a happy birthday, and thanked the citizens for their patience during the road construction going on now and throughout the summer. Mrs. Huff-Menees wished Mr. Colvin a happy birthday. She thanked and complimented the Parks Department for all the flower baskets. Mr. Winters stated Monday was the last Ad-Hoc Telecommunications meeting, and was proud of the Ordinance drafted by the group made up of all volunteers. He requested a Study Session on this issue. One of the committee members will be at the Telecommunications Conference to be held at the Admiral Theater on July 2. Mr. Fart also wished Mr. Colvin a happy birthday, and stated Mr. Colvin has an attitude that is appreciated by all who come in contact with him. He told a story of being in the Mayor's office at the time of the earthquake, and how they quickly took cover under the desks. It was quite an experience for both! MAYORtS REPORT Mayor Lynn Horton stated she was pleased at how well staff had performed in the drop, cover, and hold drills at the emergency training in Maryland. One thing she discovered was that very few businesses in our community have an earthquake preparedness plan, which concerns her. She reminded everyone that most damage is caused by equipment and items within a building not being secured. Computers can be secured with velcro, and other items that can be, should be bolted to the wall. PUBLIC RECOGNITION Karen Williams, sang Councilman Colvin a happy birthday tune! Additionally, she provided an update on the Smooth Jazz Father's Day Brunch, and thanked the Mayor for her proclamation for Mayor TAPE #1473 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes June 25, 1997 Page 3 of 15 #0837 Norm Rice. Another Jazz festival is being planned for August... more information will be provided at a later date. Elizabeth Buell, had problems when she tried to watch the Westsound Community Cable TV announcements, stating they went by too fast. Shannon Bell, Volunteer at Harrison Memorial Hospital, announced a Blood Drive on Monday, June 30, 11:00-1:00; and 1:45-5:00 P.M. Jack Lefcoski, resident, was concerned over recent reports on the Gorst Sewer study, and suggested Gorst have its own disposal plant. Reverend Cleveland Williams, Ebenezer A.M.E. Church, discussed the Martin Luther King Bridge Builder Award which will be announced at the Constitution Day Luncheon to be held Sunday, September 7, 1:30 P.M. at the Kitsap Golf & Country Club.

The cost of the additional work is to be reimbursed from the County. The additional work includes increases in bid item quantities from the original contract and Change Orders #1 and #2. the County has agreed to pay for half of the extra storm work which would include the storm work from Change Order 41. An Interlocal Agreement and Budget Adjustment for this Change Order are forthcoming under separate action. This change order exceeds the Mayor's authorization and requires Council approval. Staff recommends approval of the Change Order. Randy Witt, City Engineer, stated the Change Order is to provide curb, gutter, and sidewalk improvements to the County portion of Sylvan Way. The revised Change Order is for $31,293.53. Public comment - none. Mr. McConnell asked for clarification on Bid Item #3, "Remove C&G" which listed an amount of $3,000 on the first bid sheet, but was zero on the revised sheet. Mr. Witt explained that there are no curbs and gutters (C&G) currently, so the zero amount is correct. M/S/C/U(McConnell/Montgomery) City Council approves Change Order #3 for Sylvan Way Street Improvements in the amount of $31,293.53, and authorizes the Mayor to execute the same. TAPE #1473 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes June 25, 1997 Page 4 of 15 7B - AGREEMENT WITH WASHINGTON STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION REGARDING CONSTRUCTION OF SIGNALS ON SR3 RAMPS AT KITSAP WAY AND #0949 NEWBERRY HILL ROAD, ~AB97-138 City of Bremerton and Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) staff have coordinated projects on Kitsap Way, including construction of a State traffic signal on Kitsap Way at the SR3 northbound ramps in the City Kitsap Way road improvements project. WSDOT designed the signal, and will reimburse the City for its construction, including inspection. City staff have also agreed to construct and inspect a State signal at SR3 and Newberry Hill Road. The attached State participating Agreement reimburses the City for construction and inspection of the signals for the estimated amount of $210,152.02. The attached budget adjustment revises the City Budget to account for these funds. Staff recommends passage of the agreement and budget adjustment. Randy Witt, City Engineer, stated this step needs to be done before they can advertise the project. In addition, he clarified these steps are also needed for a signal at Newberry Hill Road. Public comment - none. Mr. Montqomer~ asked how soon before they start the work? Mr. Witt stated the work will be advertised June 30 for three weeks, and then awarded. Work will probably start around August 1. M/S/C/U(Montgomery/Colvin) To approve the budget adjustment and State Participating Agreement No. GCA-0914, and authorize and direct the Mayor to execute the same. 7C - AMENDMENT %1 TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH MONTGOMERY WATSON FOR FLUORIDATION FACILITY DESIGN, ~AB97-139 On April 23, 1997, the city Council directed the Public Works & Utilities Department to begin fluoridation of the Water system as soon as practical. The design consultant for the Corrosion Control Facility (CCF) addressed water system fluoridation in their recently completed predesign memorandum. Their recommendation was to incorporate fluoridation into the CCF, and also fluoridate several wells. Amendment #1 to the Professional Services Agreement with Montgomery Watson for the CC would include final design, construction services, and operation and maintenance manuals for a fluoridation facility with the CCF. The amount of these services is $37,925, increasing the total Professional Services Agreement to $323,162. Design of the facility would be completed in 1997, and construction would be completed in 1998. Randy Witt, City Engineer, stated an amount of funding was set aside for this item. It is important that these two be designed 5 TAPE #1473 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes June 25, 1997 Page 5 of 15 #1238 together where they are adjacent because the "ph" from one, affects the other. Fluoridation of the wells will be done separately, and in-house by City staff. Public comment - none. Mr. Winters asked that since an amount was budgeted during 1996 for corrosion control in the Water Utility Capital Funds, did that mean staff already knew they were going to be fluoridating the water? Mr. Witt stated not to his knowledge. In setting up any contract, an amount is always set aside for unforeseen circumstances. In this case, the money that was previously set aside will be used for the fluoridation design. Mr. Winters asked Mr. Witt's opinion on whether fluoride is a corrosive material? Mr. Witt stated he is not an expert on this, but he knows that fluoridation does change the "ph" level, and the CCF will neutralize that. In rough numbers, the capital costs of setting up the fluoridation system was $300,000, and the OM costs $80,000-$90,000, which together, is what will account for the rate increase. Mr. Winters asked where the taxpayer can expect to pay the additional fee? Mr. Witt stated this issue will be discussed during the budget process. Mr. Colvln asked if water bills will increase? Mr. Witt stated the cost to run and operate the City water system will go up as a result of fluoridation, with rates set by Council. M/S/C(Montgomery/Huff-Menees) To approve Amendment #1 to the Professional Services Agreement with Montgomery Watson for fluoridation design and authorize the Mayor to execute the same. Vote on motion: Motion carried. In Favor: Opposed-. Montgomery, Huff-Menees, Neville, Farr, Overson, Law, McConnell, Colvin Winters 7D - PURCHASE ORDER WITH OLYMPIC VIEW SANITARY LANDFILL INC., #AB97-140 A portion of the outfall and storm drainage pipe for the Callow Avenue Basin CSO Priority 1, Phase 2 Project is being constructed through Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. Contaminated soils were known to exist within this area. Extensive soil testing was conducted along the pipe route to determine contamination levels. As a result of this testing, the soils were pre-characterized as problem waste. Clearance for disposal at Olympic View Sanitary Landfill Inc., was granted by the Bremerton-Kitsap County Health District. Olympic View Sanitary Landfill, Inc. has agreed to accept this waste at a disposal rate of $24.25 per ton. It is estimated that 4500 tons of material will require disposal. The amount of the purchase order for disposal costs is $109,125. TAPE #1473 city Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes June 25, 1997 Page 6 of 15 #1420 Randy Witt, City Engineer, stated during the design of the Callow Avenue Improvements, this "problem material" was encountered during testing. Because this area is a "Super Fund Site" the City is obligated to dispose of it in a manner acceptable to the government and to the Health District. A lower rate was offered by Olympic View Landfill since they will probably be able to use this material for land cover. This purchase order is being done separate from the contract to avoid a contractor's mark-up. Roy McInnis, resident, asked if the contaminants in the soil were caused by PSNS, why are they not contributing to the costs to clean it up? Mr. Witt stated the City is going through PSNS to construct the Outfall Facility, and part of the easement provided that the City will dispose of any material. Mr. Owerson complimented Mr. Witt and his staff for negotiating a good rate. M/S/C/U(Overson/Colvin) To approve a Purchase Order for $109,125.00 with Olympic View Sanitary Landfill Inc., for disposal of solid waste from the Callow Avenue Basin CSO Project and authorize the Mayor to execute the same. 7E -PARKS & RECREATION DEPARTMENT PURCHASE OF COPY MACHINEt AND APPROVING BUDGET ADJUSTMENT ~97-15t ~AB97-141 The Parks Department has been testing several brands of copy machines over the past three months and determined that the Konica 7050 Copier with finisher and stapler was the best unit for Parks needs. We currently run over 20,000 copies per month. Our existing 1991 copier is not designed to handle this volume. We have experienced excessive down time and increased maintenance costs as this older machine continues to age. Due to budgetary constraints, it was determined that the best method for acquisition of this new copier was through a lease with an option to purchase. The terms of this capital lease are monthly payments of $452.18 for 18 months and a final payment of $8,888.00 in the 19th month. This balloon payment of $8,888.00 is contained in the Parks Department Capital Improvement Project budget for 1999. Due to mis- communication with the Purchasing Department, this lease was prematurely executed before being authorized by City Council. Jim Spencer, Parks & Recreation Director, stated 5 machines were tested by his department, and after rating them, the Konica 7050 was chosen as the machine to best fit their needs, rather than only looking at comparing costs. The format of their brochure has been changed, and by copying them in-house, they will be able to save $3,400 annually. Public comment - none. TAPE #1473 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes June 25, 1997 Page 7 of 15 #1705 Mr. Winters asked who was responsible for the miscommunication? Mr. Spencer stated himself and the Purchasing Manager. Mr. Winters asked if they are already committed to a contract, why didn't the Department Head go to the City Attorney and ask him to void that contract? Mr. Sievers stated there could have been problems with the vendor's rights. M/S/C(Huff-Menees/Montgomery) Two approve capital lease to purchase a Konica 7050 Copier and accompanying Budget Adjustment No. 97-15. Vote on motion: Motion carried. In Favor: Opposed: Montgomery, Huff-Menees, Neville, Farr, Overson, Law, McConnell, Colvin Winters 8~ - RESOLUTION ~2608, AUTHORIZING AN INTERAGENCY COMMITTEE FOR OUTDOOR RECRE~TION (I~C) ~PPLIC~TION FOR SMITH COVE DEVELOPMENT~ND PENDERG~ST FIELD LIGHTSt ~B97-142 Smith Cove Development (Phase II of the Evergreen Park Project) and Pendergast Field Lighting Projects are being submitted to IAC for funding in 1998. The Smith Cove Project provides for the renovation of the southeast portion of Evergreen park (2.5 acres) and the development of 4.5 acres of property being acquired around Smith Cove on the Port Washington Narrows. Development includes two open play areas, an amphitheater, picnic shelter, restrooms, walking path, reconfigured boat launch parking and additional general use parking. This existing project expands Bremerton's oldest park (evergreen) by 4.5 acres by converting an old industrial brown field into a beautiful new waterfront park. Pendergast Field Lighting Project will provide athletic lighting to the three softball fields, two soccer fields and the parking lot. A total of 20 light standards around the three softball fields, 12 light standards serving the two soccer fields and 22 standards in the parking lot will be installed. The softball fields will be lit to tournament level and the soccer fields to recreation level. This will provide the ability to program the complex to its maximum potential by lengthening the programmable hours as well as providing year around use of the soccer fields to take advantage of the all-weather surface. The total cost to the Pendergast Field Lighting Project was increased by $102,003 from the time it was presented to the Fiscal & Budget Committee to accommodate the necessary illumination for the parking lot. TAPE #1473 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes June 25, 1997 Page 8 of 15 #2197 Jim Spencer, Parks & Recreation Director, stated that adding lights will greatly enhance the Park, which will increase the capability of attracting some big-time tournaments. This Resolution will provide the "ammunition" needed to go to the IAC to request matching funds. Mark Fojtik, Jack Lefcoski, and H. Emily Moshay were residents who spoke in favor of Resolution No. 2608 to light the fields. Mr. Neville was pleased to see these projects moving forward, and also at the prospect of getting matching funds. He announced an Evergreen-Smith Cove Expansion meeting Thursday, June 26 at the KCAP office located at the old Smith School Building, 6:30 P.M. Mr. Winters supported this Resolution, but asked for clarification on Item 4 regarding "non-commitments". Mr. Spencer stated that a very important part of this process is going out and finding people to financially support the project. If funding is offered, but does not materialize, the city would then be responsible for that portion. M/S/C/U(Law/Neville) To adopt Resolution No. 2608, authorizing the Mayor to submit grant applications for Smith Cove Development and Pendergast Field Lighting to the IAC for funding assistance. 8B - RESOLUTION NO. 2605, CALLOW AVENUE BASIN CSO PRIORITY 2 CONSTRUCTION - ACCEPT]%NCE OF PUBLIC WORKS TRUST FUND LOAN (NO. PW- #2328 97-791-003), #AB97-143 The City applied for and received a Public Works Trust Fund (PWTF) loan in the amount up to $662,000 for construction of the Callow Avenue Basin CSO Reduction Project, Priority 2 improvements. The loan is to be paid back over 20 years at 1% interest. The attached Resolution accepts the loan and authorizes the Mayor to sign all documents relative to the loan. Ran4¥ W~tt, city Engineer, referred to page 74 of the Council packet which showed the savings of using the PWTF Loan versus using Revenue Bonds, which over the 20-year life of the loan will save the tax payers $373,836.00. Public comment - none. M/S/C/U(Montgomery/Huff-Menees) To adopt Resolution No. 2605 accepting the loan and authorize the Mayor to sign all documents relative to the loan. 8C - RESOLUTION NO- 2609, REGARDING THE CITY 1997 TRAFFIC CALMING PROGRAM, #AB97-144 TAPE #1473 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes June 25, 1997 Page 9 of 15 The City received two Community Development Block Grants for the construction and evaluation of Traffic Calming Devices in four neighborhood areas: Park Avenue, anderson Cove, Lebo Boulevard and West Park. Engineering Division staff met with citizens from each area to review the traffic calming devices available and develop recommendations for each area. The Park Avenue Anderson Cove and West Park neighborhood areas selected the use of speed humps. Lebo Boulevard selected to have no traffic calming devices in their area. Staff will evaluate the effectiveness of these traffic calming devices. The attached 1997 City Traffic Calming Program paper provides detail on the development and direction of the program. Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution regarding the traffic calming program. Randy Witt, City Engineer, neighborhood meetings were held to share options of traffic circles, humps, traffic diverters, etc. He was surprised at some results of these meetings, such as humps being chosen as a preferred alternative, especially where he expected other choices to be made. Another surprise was that Lebo Blvd. area residents did not desire any traffic calming devices at all, rather a desire for the City to evaluate a four-way stop. s. Howerton wanted to know where the grant money was coming from, and what were the priorities? H. Emily Moshay asked if there will be additional calming devices on Park Avenue in addition to what is already there? Elizabeth Buell does not like speed bumps, and is afraid of causing an accident because she slows way down when she approaches one. Mr. Witt clarified the funding source is from two CDBG grants received specifically for traffic calming devices; specific areas were identified, and there is the ability to amend the grant if additional funding is received; He stated the problems on Cherry Avenue will be addressed; Testing and research was done on speed bumps placed on Highland Avenue, and it was found that two bumps close together are not desirable, so it is proposed to go with only one hump where humps are required; and it is proposed to add two humps, one on each side of the traffic circle on Park Avenue. Mr. Montgomery recommended Cambrian Avenue near 6th Street for a calming device if there was any money left over. Mr. MoConne11 asked for the reasons given by citizens opposing traffic calming devices on Lebo? Mr. Colvin stated citizens said ~here was too much traffic and traffic calming devices are normally not preferred on heavy used streets. Mr. Neville asked who a citizen could contact if they had a recommendation for a traffic calming device? And how will systems in place be evaluated? Mr. Witt stated citizens can call Steve Misuriak at 478-5270. A priority system will need to be devised. To evaluate chosen devices, speed & count /0 TAPE #1474 city Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes June 25, 1997 Page 10 of 15 surveys will be used. Mr. Colvin commended both Mr. Misuriak and Mr. Witt for their work on these issues. He also clarified that left-over money can not be used for pot holes. Mr. Overson complimented the City and Mr. Witt for also addressing these needs. #3175 M/S/C/U(Huff-Menees/Montgomery) To adopt Resolution No. regarding the 1997 City Traffic Calming Program. 2609, TAPE #1474 8D - RESOLUTION #2610r MANETTE BRIDGE REPLACEMENT RECOMMENDATIONr #~B97-145 The Manette Bridge is in an advanced state of deterioration and has an expected life of ten years or less. The bridge is owned and maintained by the State, and Washington State Department Of Transportation (WSDOT) is the lead agency in the bridge replacement project. WSDOT and City staff have held four public meetings and three Council Study Sessions to receive input on the replacement bridge location, elevation and aesthetics. Based upon this input, staff have formulated a recommended bridge replacement, alternative. WSDOT staff will present the recommended alternate to the Council at this meeting. Council is requested to concur or modify the preferred alternative by passage of the attached resolution. Randy Witt, City Engineer, stated when the State notified the City that it was eligible for highway bridge replacement funding, we coordinated with them on ways of gathering input from citizens. A number of options were looked at and then eliminated based on environmental reasons or lack of citizen support. Gary Farnsworth, WSDOT, stated this has been an enjoyable project, with much support received from the public. The biggest concern throughout this process has been what will happen when the old bridge is demolished, knowing the closure time will be about two years. Some calculations have been done, and it was determined that the cost would be around $17 million in delayed costs alone. The costs would be even higher if there is a repeat of the Warren Avenue Bridge also closing due to weather conditions such as occurred last winter. A design has been chosen that will allow the building of most of the new span, parallel to the existing bridge, requiring a closure of only 3 months, versus 24 months. This will cost more, but the delay impacts are dramatically smaller. There are plans to work with the Coast Guard during the design of the bridge profile to allow a variance on the existing clearance to be more accommodating to bikes and pedestrians, as well as to vehicles. After a traffic analysis was done, it was determined to use 12 foot lanes instead of the 9 foot lanes currently in use, with 5 foot shoulders on each side for bike traffic, in addition to TAPE #1474 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes June 25, 1997 Page 11 of 15 a 6 foot sidewalk on one side. The State's share of payment for this replacement is 20%, with the Federal Highway Administration will provide 80%. It is recommended that the City continue to show priority to the traffic flow off the bridge on both ends, with possibly a signal light on one end. It is anticipated the Bridge Design will be completed in the year 2000/2001, with construction to begin 2001, and completed 2002 or 2003. Hlethia Douqlass, resident, recommended a covered bridge for pedestrian traffic. She was glad that they looked at traffic problems that occurred during the bridge closure, and hope they keep a close eye on it. Elizabeth Buell, resident, hopes they make higher railings, and recommended they make the lights easier to replace. Mr. Winters, brought up the issue of the level of service rating, and options in the event of a bridge closure. Mr. Witt stated that many alternatives were evaluated during development of the City Comprehensive Plan. It was found that the Manette Bridge, as is, serves an important function for the transportation system in the City, and widening the bridge would not provide any additional benefit. He elaborated on level of service ratings and standards. Mr. Winters questioned 1) How much the taxpayers would save by the bridge being lower? 2) What is the State's position on the issue of a third bridge; and 3) Who took the aerial photograph and can a copy be ordered? Mr. Farnsworth admitted he did not have a good answer, but savings would be marginal, maybe 3%-5% of the total cost. As far as a third bridge, the State has identified funding to go into partnership with Kitsap County and the City of Bremerton to study the entire SR3/304 corridor, including the full range of alternatives to address the traffic needs and support GMAplanning. Any citizen who would like a photograph can contact him. Mr. Colvin referencing an earlier statement about the bridge rails, asked how high the new rails would be? Mr, Farnsworth stated he was unsure, but they would probably be the same as they are now, and there are no plans for a covered walkway, however, public feedback will be solicited on both issues during the design phase. President Farr questioned the life-expectancy of the new span? Mr. Farnsworth stated typically, a minimum of 50 years, but he anticipates they will be building it into 75 years, plus. President Fart stated in that case, he felt it would be prudent that the bridge be designed to support a possible expansion of 4 lanes for the future. Mr. Law asked why the old bridge can not stay up and be used for bicycles? Mr. Farnsworth explained the problem with the existing bridge are the piers below the water line, which are deteriorating, and represents a hazard. TAPE #1474 City Council Reg. Mtg.

Mr. Winters asked where the funding was coming from? Mr. Witt stated it was a Local Improvement District, and referenced the Assessment Roll of property owners on page 111 of the Council packet, city money is being used for the design, with property owners paying the construction and inspection costs. He estimated the L.I.D. cost a little under $10,000 to build, and probably $1,000 to design it. Mr. Montqomez7 pointed out a correction to a Tax Lot number on page 111, even though it did not change the assessment to the correct property owner. M/S/C/U(Huff-Menees/Montgomery) To pass Ordinance No. 4596, on second reading, adopting and confirming the assessment roll for L.I.D. #329 Jenner Avenue Sidewalk Improvements. 9B - ORDINANCE (FIRST READING) TO ADOPT THE CHARLESTON COMMUNITY PLaN AND RELATED ~-~ENDMENTS TO THE ZONING CODE ~ND ZONING MAPt ~AB97-127 The Charleston Community Plan is one of the first plans to combine the provisions of GMA and SEPA, and will be a model for other jurisdictions. The Plan addresses the problems and concerns of the City's oldest business district. Public involvement was encouraged at a series of neighborhood meetings held within the district, as well as study sessions and public hearings before the Planning Commission. Following its public hearing on June 11, 1997, the City Council tentatively approved the Plan, pending review of any comments that may be received from State agencies following their 60-day review. An ordinance has been prepared to adopt the Charleston Plan and to amend the Zoning Code per Plan recommendations, including the addition of a new CD (Charleston District) zone. That ordinance is ready for Council approval on first reading. Kay Wilson, Department of Community Development, stated they have worked for the last 10 months with the people in the Charleston District, and the Plan is ready to be implemented. The final EIS was issued last week, in the form of an addendum, which includes all the changes discussed at the June 11, 1997 public hearing, and are identified with "shading" and "double underlines". The State's 60-day review period ended June 16, which was a requirement of the TAPE #1474 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes June 25, 1997 Page 13 of 15 GMA. The comments from the State are included in the Council Packet on page 145, and are generally favorable, with a few concerns also included, particularly notifying land owners of planned actions. She pointed out a letter on page 143 from Kitsap Transit, dated May 27, but not received until June 10, that was omitted from information presented at the June 11 public hearing because it was overlooked. A few changes are now being proposed to incorporate some of the concerns listed in the letter (showed with "double underlines"). Other recommended changes are shown on P13, P16, and P37. President Fart asked if Council should choose to approve this ordinance on first reading, does the motion have to include the proposed changes presented for the first time tonight? Mr. Siewers, City Attorney, stated the copy of the Plan, which is adopted in section 1 of the ordinance, has these changes in it, so adopting the ordinance would include all proposed changes. Ron Houqh, Planning Manager, introduced one other change, that pertains to the zoning along the new alignment of the highway, removing the GB (General Business). Parcels anticipated for the Right-of-Way Acquisition Plan will have zoning until such time they are actually acquired. A copy of the proposed zoning being discussed was handed out. Regarding parking, it is proposed to exempt non-residential development from the parking requirements within the Charleston Business District. Public comment - none. Mr. M~Connell referring to "Special Use Permits" on page 13 of the Appendix, he recently found out they are attached to the land and not the applicant, and questioned if that makes it a rezone? Mr. Hough stated no, that uses within the zones are allowed outright with a Special Use Permit. Mr. Slevers stated that maybe the conditions that were approved through the process would be a slight modification. Mr. M~Connell stated parking requirements for non- residential should be done on a case-by-case basis. Mr. Winters pointed out examples of concerns he had for several existing businesses on Callow Avenue, and the chart showing "Uses Allowed" categories, by zone: Page 135 Mr. Winters and Mr. Colvin both asked specifically why a "detox" center wouldn't be allowed (page 132)? Mr. Hough stated they were trying to create an area of compatible retail businesses. TAPE #1474 City Council Reg. Mtg.

Resource Division in directing volunteers and manage all programs related to traffic safety. Currently these efforts are directed-toward impaired driving, countermeasures, occupant protection and education, assisting and coordinating law enforcement efforts, targeting high risk and your drivers ( including a high number of military personnel) and other traffic related areas as needed. It is our intent to ~ontinue the above activities with an even greater focus towards young drivers and young pedestrians. These i~creased focus areas are .based on high risk factors and a high incidence of child pedestrian collisions. Specific activities and evaluations are included in the attached goals and'objectives. The MISSION of the Bremerton / Kitsap County DUI Task Force is to lead our community in a collaborative effort to reduce the incidence of drunk and drugged driving. The VISION of the Bremerton / Kitsap County DUI Task Force is to provide a long term, on going reduction of traffic crashes, drugged and drunk driving incidence and provide a safer traffic environment for the entire community. The DUI Task Force has identified four (4) priority problem areas in traffic safety. 1/ High incidence of traffic collisions. Kitsap County has been targeted as a high risk area by the WTSC for traffic collisions. We are currently ranked 7th in Washington State with a collision rate of 324.7 per 100 million miles traveled. In addition, during 1995, 21 deaths occurred as a direct result of crashes and restraint usage was a critical factor. 47.1% of the fatal victims were not properly restrained compared to 95.1% restrain usage in non injury crashes. Goal: Maintain and enhance county wide public education towards traffic safety issues with a strong focus towards restraint usage. Objective: Continued marketing and development of Speakers Bureau- On going. objective: Produce and distribute promotional and educational items to DUI/Traffic safety awareness. objective: Plan and coordinate at least one educational awareness event per quarter -- On going Objective: Provide information on program activities to local officials, legislators, and local media sources -- On going. Objective: Reduce the economic loss to the community by decreasing the number of collisions through pro- active education, targeting the military personnel, youthful drivers and high risk driver behavior. Bench Mark: Sustain the current 13% reduction per year in traffic collisions and reach an over all reduction percentage of 35 % by 1999. In addition, increase the restraint usage in fatal and serious injury collisions from 47.1% to 50% by 1999. Activities: Provide traffic safety education presentation to all high schools, reaching over 1200 students through out the school year. Provide traffic safety education and information to two (2) major military bases for GMT( general mandatory training), reaching over 20,000 personnel. Participate in the Kitsap County Fair and the SAPA Fair, distributing over 5,000 pieces of education materials promoting safe and sober driving behavior. 2/ DUI fatal crashes. 52.3% of the fatal crashes in 1995 were a direct result from the impaired driver. From 1991-1994 Kitsap County experienced a continued decline of 13% crashes per year. In 1995 the DUI percentage increased by 4% and over 45% of the crashes involved the high risk age group of 21-34 years. Kitsap county has a increased population factor, directly related to this age group, we are supported by three major military installations with the average age of 23 , to assigned personnel. 2/ Goal: Continue efforts to increase the DUI deterrent through law enforcement interagency coordination and cooperation, reducing the number of alcohol related traffic collisions and economic loss. Objective: In cooperation with the Washington State Patrol, Criminal Justice Training Commission, Washington Traffic Safety Commission, provide DUI arrest and investigation training for county and municipal agencies. Objective: Continue the development of a county wide DUI emphasis strategy, identifying problem areas, times for emphasis patrols, arrests and funding for special enforcement programs -- On going. objective: Provide information and statistics for dissemination regarding the frequency of DUI arrests, alcohol related traffic crashes and DUI emphasis patrols. Objective: Establish an education program targeting alcohol and drugged driving -- on going. objective: Continue assistance to the DUI Victim's panel, establish an Youth Victim Panel; assist in completing a tracking program for offenders and evaluation/ success criteria.

Coordinate with the local detachment of the Washington State Liquor Control Board and local law enforcement in cross training to reduce the number of administrative violations and over service to patrons. 3/ Youthful Drivers. 38% of the fatal crashes in 1995 involved the youthful driver age group (24 and under). Statistics indicate of the 20,575 licenses youthful drivers in our county, 1826 were involved in traffic collisions during 1995. Eight were fatal crashes and 1382 were serious injury. This high risk age group also contributes to the impaired statistics and lack of restraint usage. Goal: Reduce the high incidence of youth driver fatal and serious injury collisions. Objective: Assist with interagency coordination between the judicial system, law enforcement and community education, focusing on the accountability of driver behavior. objective: Provide on going educational training, targeting the youthful driver. Bench Mark: Reduce the death rate per youthful drivers from 4.4% in 1995 to 2% in 1999 and reduce the current collision rate of 887.5 by 3% by 1999. Rates based on 10,000 license youthful drivers.

Reporting Frequency and Format The Washington Traffic Safety Commission requires three types of reports in conjunction with Traffic Safety proiects. 1. Quarterly reports during the life of a project. 2. A final report at the conclusion of a project. This is to include training and consultant reports, if ap- plicable; and 3. Special reports as required. Project reports of every kind provide the Washington Traffic Safety Commission with information which can be used to strengthen the state's total traffic safety program. These repods keep the commissfon in- formed of a project's progress, explain any difficulties encountered, provide a background of information that can be passed on to others, suggest ways in which the commission can assist with the project and aid in distribution of state funds. Therefore, comprehensive repods are a must for continued improvement in the state's traffic safety operations. Quarterly Rel~orts .. These are to be submitted quarterly and are due in the Traffic Safety commission's office within fifteen (15) calendar days after the end of the reporting calendar quarter as follows: First Quarter (January-March) Report due April 15 Second Quarter (April-June) Report due July 15 Third Quarter (July-September) Report due October 15 Fourth Quarter (October-December) Report due January 15 The Traffic Safety Project Report Forms are to be used when compiling these reports. All sections are to be filled in as completely as possible. (Use additional sheets, as necessary.) If no action has been taken, please so indicate. Any original or innovative ideas or methods employed in your project should be incor- porated into your reports. Final Report Final repods, in duplicate, are to be more informative and must describe whether the project objectives were accomplished, if technical and fiscal problems were encountered, and what improvements in traffic safety have resulted or probably will result. Included in final reports will be copies of publications, training reports and any statistical data generated in project exeCUtion. These final reports should discuss the fol- lowing: 1. Accomplishments compared to the original project objectives; 2. Were all activities of the project completed as scheduled? Include dates and milestones when studies were completed; equipment acquired, installed and operated; 3. Any unanticipated proceedings that affected the project; 4. Funding and costs for completion of the project in relationship to original estimates; 5. Third party pedormance if consultant was employed. Two copies of consultant reports are to be in- cluded with the project director's repods. Special reporting Special reporting procedures may be required for special interest projects. If so, repod format and fre- quency will be outlined on the reverse side of this form. ,~ ig n,~ (Projec['Director) WASHINGTON TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION ' Addendum B ASSURANCES - - Federal and state which regulate contracting and subcontracting of traffic safety projects.

Funds available for various eli~ble CDBG act. iv/des are determined by Federal regulations and local priorities. Federal regulations limit the mount of funds wkich can be allocated to public service projects to 15% of the annual CDBG entitlement, plus 15% of the program income received during the City's immediately preceding program year. The City receives program income from the revolving housing loan program. These funds do not impact the annual CDBG allocation. The amount available for public services will be 15% of the federal allocation. The amount of funds that can be allocated to planning and administration projects, including the overall administration of the City of Bremerton's CDBG Program, is limited to 20% of the annual grant. · Federal regulations require that a minimum of 70% of the annual grant funds go to projects that directly benefit low and moderate income persons. Funds allocated under the CDBG program must meet one of the priorities identified in the Consolidated Plan. The City of Bremerton is included in the Kitsap County Consolidated Plan for 1995 through 2000 since the City and Kitsap Urban County joined together as a consortium for purposes of receiv/ng HOME funds for the period of 1997-1999. The Consolidated Plan identifies 5 general priorities related to housing, homeless, and non-housing community needs to be addressed w/th CDBG funds. The priorities are listed below: · Increase the availability and affordability of safe and decent rental housing for households earning 80 percent of median income or less. · Increase the supply of housing units available to homeowners through rehabilitation of substandard units and construction of new units. Assist first time homebuyers to become owners. · Support a continuum of housing and related services for homeless people, and forestall further homelessness through prevention activities. · Promote a continuum of housing and related services for people with special needs such as frail elderly and persons disabled by sickness or injury. 1998 CrrY OF BREMERTOI~--CDBG 2~LLOCATION POLICY PART H PAGE 1 Provide support for non-housing activities, to communities and non-profit organizations for economic development, public facilities, public services, and planning activities which primarily benefit Iow income persons.

We will not know the actual amount until Congress approves the federal HUD budget. How will Projeets be selected for fitu~ · City staff'will review applications to assure they are complete and meet threshold requirements. City staffwill also rate Criteria 1 and 5 (public service, housing, and capital/economic development). · Applications that are complete and meet threshold requirements will be provided to members of the Citizen Advisory Committee for review. · Each applicant will have the opportunity'to orally present their project and answer questions concerning the application during a brief interview with the Advisory Committee. · Based on the application and the interview, each member of the Committee will rate the application according to criteria described in this section. Activities in each category (pubLic service, housing, capital/economic development, and planning,) will be rated in comparison with other activities in the same category. · The scores of the three Committee members, on each activity, plus the scores on Criteria 1 and 5 on each activity will be added together and divided by three to determine the final actMty score. 1998 CITY OF BKE~LERTOt~--CDBG ALLOCATION POUCY PART H PAGE Once projects have been rated and ranked, funds will be awarded to projects as follows: Capital and housine oroiects will be ranked in numerical order according to their rating. Funds will be awarded according to the (eligible and reasonable) amount requested by the applicant until the amount available in the category is allocated. This will probably result in fewer awards that are larger- and will reduce the number of projects that have to wait until the following year to be completed. Public Service Activities will be ranked in numerical order according to their rating. The Advisory Committee will recommend the amount to be awarded with the following guidelines: The minimum award is $7,500. A numerically higher ranked project will not receive less funds allocated than a lower ranked project unless they requested a lower amount. Example: Amount Available $62,000 Rank Proiect A~,t Requested bant Recommended i D $34.000 $19.000 2 E $ 9.000 $ 9.000 3 B $17.000 $15.500 4 A $30.000 $11.O00 5 C [ $20.000 $ 7.500 6 G[ $10.000 7 F t $29.0O0 TotalI. $62.000 · The recommendation to be forwarded to the City Council will consist of the projects in each category that receive the highest ranking score based on the funding distribution described above. · Applicants will be notified of the status of their appLications. · A public hearing will be held and the Bremerton City Council will make the final decision concerning activities to be included in the 1998 Action Plan.

Applicants for capital projects must indicate the appropriate jurisdiction's major requirements for building permit/occupancy permit, and must show how they can meet those requirements within the proposed schedule and budget. · Approval of the Implementing At, encv: Proposals submitted by applicants other than the Agency, City or County Department that will implement them must be reviewed and approved by the appropriate implementing Agency, City, or County Department prior to submittal. All CDBG projects located on publicly owned property will be implemented by the public agency responsible for the property. · Legally Binding Public Interest in CDBG Assisted Property_: HUD requires that facilities acquired, constructed or improved with CDBG funds be "publicly owned" and that the CDBG public interest be protected. The public (CDBG) interest w/il be secured through a lien on the property recorded as a deed of trust, and a promissory note explaining the sale and change of use provisions that accompany CDBG assisted real property. The specific terms and conditions of the public interest security agreements will vary depending on the type of project assisted. · Restrictions on the Change-of-Use of CDBG Assisted Property_: All CDBG recipients must agree to restrict the use of the property to the intended pu~ose for which the funds were awarded for a mirdmum of 5 years aRer close out of the project. This is to ensure compliance with HUD requirements restricting the change in use of property acquired, constructed or improved with C_DBG assistance, and to ensure continued public benefit. · Restriction on Assessments: CDBG funds may not be used for public improvement projects where a portion of the projects is to be financed by assessments to area property owners, unless the project is structured such that CDBG funds are used to pay the assessments of all low and very low income properly owners. The 1998 CrrY oF BR~xaER'ro~--CDBG .'~LLOCATIO~ POLICY PART ri PAGE 8 analysis of incomes of affected persons must be done ahead of time and submitted as pan of the application for CDBG funds. · Guidelines for Evaluation and Selecting Economic Development Projects: The City of Bremerton will utilize the guidelines provided at 24 CFR 570.209 relative to project costs and financial requirements and standards for evaluating public benefit. Equal Opportunity: All CDBG proposals must comply with federal, state, local laws, and executive orders which prohibit discrimination on the grounds of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, age, marital status, or the presence of any disability. Discrimination is prohibited in the provision of a service or facility funded with CDBG funds, and in all other aspects of administering a CDBG proposal including contracting, procurement, and employment. [] Minimizing; the Loss of Low and Very Low Income Dwelling Units: Any CDBG proposal that would directly result in any occupied or vacant occupiable low and very low income dwelling units being (1) demolished, or (2) convened to a use other than as low and very low income housing must include a realistic plan to provide replacement housing within three years of the commencement of the demolition or rehabilitation relating to conversion. [] Minimizing Displacement and Providinq Relocation Assistance: It is the policy of the City of Bremerton CDBG Program to discourage CDBG proposals that would cause displacement of people or businesses. Any proposal fo.r CDBG funds that is likely to cause displacement must include relocation assistance payments in the budget. Relocation assistance must be provided consistent with the federal Uniform Relocation Act. F~deral Wage Rates (Davis-Bacon): Pursuant to the Davis-Bacon Act, federal wage rates apply to almost all construction project over $2,000. Applications that involve construction must consider Davis-Bacon wage rates in the budget. There are few exceptions to the Davis-Bacon Act such as public agency use of force account crews and the rehabilitation of sin~e family homes and small multi-family buildings. 1998 CrrY OF BREMERTOI~--CDBG ALLOCATION POLICY PART ri PAGE 9 · Federal Audit Requirements: Private non-profit agencies expending $300,000 (as of July 1997 previously was $25,000) or more in federal funds annually (whether CDBG alone or CDBG in conjunction with other federal funds) must have an annual audit conducted by an independent auditor in accordance with Ob/lB A-133 Audit Standards for Private Non-Profit Organizations. Agencies are responsible to meet this audit requirement. · Lead-Based Paint Abatement: Any proposed rehabilitation project that involves a (1) pre-1978 structure, and (2) would likely house a child age 7 or less must be informed of the possible hazards of lead based paint and a plan must be developed for removal of lead based paint if necessary. Costs for abatement must be included in the rehabilitation budget. · Supplanting: Federal regulations prohibit using CDBG funds to supplant (replace or substitute for) local funds for public services or ongoing responsibilities of general local government. The intent of this federal regulation is to prevent local government from using the availability of federal CDBG dollars as an excuse to reduce local funding commitments. · Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): The ABA requires certain buildings or other facilities that receive Federal funds to be designed, constructed or altered in accordance with standards that insure accessibility to, and use by physically handicapped people. The ADA provides comprehensive civil fights to individuals with disabilities in the areas of employment, public accommodations, State and local government services, and telecommun/cations. It further requires that facilities for first occupancy are readily accessible and that architectural and structural barriers are removed when possible in existing facilities. · Family Policy Principals In the early 1990s the State of Washington conducted a number of focus groups throughout the State. Approximately 400 people, who were receiving human services at the time were asked to describe the characteristics of services that would be most effective for them. The Family Policy Principles reflect their collective response, and form the basis 1998 CITY OF BREMERTON--CDBG AJ.,LOC_.ATION POLICY PART I1 PAGE 10 for the Washington State Human Service Policy.

The following information is provided to assist you in defining the eligibility and national objective that your activity meets and the type of information you need ta provide to the City. Specific regulations that govern the CDBG pro,am are available in our office. What are the National Objectives? {Benefit Criteria] An eligible CDBG activity must either (1) principally benefit low and very low income households, (2) reduce or prevent slum and blight or (3) meet an urgent need. The vast majority of the City's CDBG activities are designed to benefit low and very low income persons and households. The following list outlines the way in which CDBG projects can meet a national objective. The criteria is described in more detail below. Principally benefit low and very low income A. Area Benefit B. Limited Clientele (1) At least 51% of beneficiaries are low or very Iow income persons/households (a) Presumed Benefit (b) Agency Requires Client Information (c) Income Eligibility Requirement (Direct Benefit) (d) Nature/location (2) Removal of Architectural Barriers (3) Assistance to Owners of Microenterprises (4) Employment Support Services C.

In addition, the area must be primarily residential. Examples of area benefit activities include parks (that serve the immediate area), water and sewer projects, sidewalks and streets, and other public improvements that are available to all residents in a particular area. Applicants must: [] Attach a map with the boundaries of the project's service area delineated (the surrounding geographic area in which all or most of the people benefiting fi-om the project reside): [] Explain why that particular geographic area is the service area for the project; [] Indicate on the map residential and commercial areas within the service area boundary; and [] Provide documentation that 51% or more of the residents within the service area are low and very Iow income persons/households. 1998 NATIONAL OBOECrrlVE AND ELIGmmlTY REQLrn~MF2CrS PART V PAGE 2 If you would like assistance in determining if your project is in a Iow income area, please contact Debbie or Marylyn at 478-7996 or 478-5.375. · Limited Clientele An activity which benefits a limited clientele, at least 5 I% of whom are low or very Iow income persons/households. There are four types of activities in this category: Presumed Benefit - An activity may benefit one of the following groups who are presumed by HUD to be principally Iow and very low income: abused children, battered spouses, elderly persons, handicapped persons, homeless persons, illiterate persons, and migrant farm workers. Applicants must: [] Demonstrate that the facility or service is designed for and used predominantly by one of the groups identified above. Agency Requires Client Information Which Shows 51% or More are Low and Very low Income - For example, community health clinic and most other agencies keep information on client income and family size. The information will be able to document whether or not 51% or more of the clientele are persons whose family income does not exceed low and very low income limits for Kitsap County. Note: Income qualification criteria fi.om other programs (such as state poverty guidelines) may be substituted provided those criteria are at least as restrictive as the HUD income limits.

There are very specific elements of this national objective. Please contact the Community Development staff to discuss your 'project prior to submitting an application. · Reduce or Eliminate Slum and Blight An activity may meet the national objective of reducing or eliminating slum and blight, instead of benefiting low and very loTM income people. There are two different ways that CDBG activities can meet this second national objective. Area Basis A project must be located in an area defined as a slum or blighted area under state or local law; the conditions which qualified the area as slum or blight must be on record; and the project must specifically address one or more of these conditions. Spot Basis A CDBG project to eliminate slum and blight on a spot basis (for example, outside of a locally designated slum or blighted area) must be limited to activities necessary to eliminate specific conditions posing a threat to the public 1998 NATIONAL OBJEC'rlVE A~N'D ELIGIBILITY REQL~IRE,',IE,~-rS PART V PAGE 5 health or safety.
