~COUNCIL MEMBER REPORTS
Mr. Winters encouraged voters to read their Voters Pamphlet and to
vote in the upcoming election. He presented Mayor Horton with a
plaque the City received from the Bremerton Main Street Association
in recognition of the City's participation in the 1996 Blackberry
TAPE #1417

Festival. The award was given out during an after hours event at
Simply Good Food Restaurant. Lastly, he reminded everyone to
support local fund raising organizations within our community.
Mrs. Huff-Menees announced the Mayor has appointed a Citizen
Advisory Committee for the purpose of re-evaluation of the SR 304
to downtown access issue. The Committee's task is to take into
account any new information generated in this past year, since
Council's first decision on the routes to be developed for downtown
access. The Committee held their first meeting on October 21 and
their next meeting is scheduled for October 28, 6:00 7:30 P.M.,
at the Bremerton School District Administration office. The key
topic for that meetings will be parking issues and the secondary
topic will be traffic flow and transportation issues. There is
also a meeting scheduled for November 4, 6:00 - 9:00 P.M., that
will include a segment as an Open House where members of the
community can come in to view information presented on charts,
followed by community discussion that will conclude at 9:00 P.M.
Mr. Neville announced the city-Wide Halloween Party will be held
October 31, at the Parks and Recreation Center. He encouraged
parents to bring their children to this event because it is a safe
place to have a good time. He reminded drivers to please drive
carefully on Halloween night because not all children are safety
conscious when walking along and/or crossing streets.
Mr. Overson reported he attended a recent meeting where the city
addressed taking parking off of planting strips, as prescribed by
State Law. He described the activity at that meeting as a lively
debate. He commended Engineering staff members for their
willingness to under take such a discussion and the professional
manner in which they handled citizen concerns. He wished there was
a way to either not have to implement the no-parking on planting
strip rule or do it differently because it is a difficult issue.
He pointed out the Admiral theater construction project is
progressing with most of the working taking place inside. It
appears the Admiral Foundation expects to complete the project by
end of 1996.
Mr. McConnell reported a new recycling business has opened at 5th
and Naval - Westhills Recycling. He also thanked Janet Lunceford,
Building Department, Bob Tulp, Public Works and Operations Manager,
and City Street crew for their effort in abating and getting rid of
an abandoned trailer on Ivy Street. He thanked Donald Pratt,
Director of Community Development, for taking care of a problem, a
junk yard operation, on Wright Avenue.
Mr. Colvin thanked Mayor Horton for getting rid of the Scotch broom
on the east side of the Warren Avenue Bridge. By popular request,
TAPE #1417

Mayor Horton has been invited back to speak at the next District #1
Neighborhood Meeting in November and will be accompanied by a
representative of Sinclair Land Association, who will give citizens
a first hand view of all that has transpired in the downtown area
now and in the near future. Mr. Colvin and Council President Law
attended an AWC meeting on October 18, where representatives from
various cities commented on the lawsuit between the city of
Bremerton and Kitsap County relating to growth management. Some
equated to the City suing ourselves because Bremerton is also part
of the County. Personally, he felt there was merit to that
statement; however, he did not know if there was another way to
solve the problem, but he would like to see problems such as this
solved without having to pay out attorney fees.
Mr. Law added too Mr. Colvin's comments about the AWC meeting,
there were three sub-committees and the objective of those groups
was to communicate with the legislature the concerns of the
Association Of Washington cities.
MAYOR'S REPORT
Mayor Lynn Horton announced she and Carol whitehead, Superintendent
of the Bremerton School district, will host a joint School/City
meeting at the View Ridge Elementary School on October 28, 6:30
P.M. She hopes members of the public will take this opportunity to
share their concerns about school issues or city issues, similar
forums will be held in each of the elementary schools throughout
the year.
The Mayor's 1997 proposed budget is nearly complete, it is
balanced, but not hugely different than the 1996 Budget, and she
does not anticipate bringing on any additional personnel. Council
will have their copy of her proposed budget by the end of October,
with Council's budget review starting November 5.
PUBLIC RECOGNITION
Teresa Dembioer brought up some personal health concerns and asked
the City Council to help her find someone to assist her. President
Law asked Ms. Dembicer to meet with him at the city Council office
on October 24 to discuss her concerns.
Bob Sauter, VFW Post 3694, invited everyone to attend the Veterans
Day programs at the east Bremerton schools, particular at the
Bremerton Junior High School, on November 8, 7:30 A.M. - 2:30 P.M.
He encouraged the Council members to support the efforts by his VFW
Post to secure the USS Missouri as their new post home.
Russell Nickerson, representing Missouri On The Mainland Committee,
announced the Save The Missouri Committee and the Missouri
Commemorative Committee no longer exist as a functioning in the
TAPE #1417

pursuit of the USS Missouri. As an offshoot of the volunteers of
both of those committees, the volunteers have organized a new
letter writing campaign that commenced today and have adopted the
new name of "Missouri On The Mainland Committee (MOM). The next
meeting of MOM will be November 7, 9:00 A.M., at the Old Bank
Antiques Conference Room (2nd floor entrance off of 2nd Street).
carol Atkinson, Bremerton Main Street Association, commented on the
Blackberry Festival Awards Banquet, which was held at Simply Good
Food. She encouraged members of the public to sample the food at
Simply Good Food and show their support of a fairly new downtown.
business. Planning is underway for Santa's arrival downtown.
Roy McInnls, Bremerton resident, announced the Sinclair Missionary
Baptist church is celebrating its 53rd anniversary on October 27,
at 3:00 P.M.. He invited everyone to attend this event and
suggested they arrive at 1:30 P.M., so that they could sample the
wonderful food that will be served.
Elmer Douq Lince, Bremerton resident, suggested the city obtain a
lease ($1-10.00 per year) from the Navy for an area next to the
Ferry Dock for mooring the USS Missouri. Mr. Lince supports the
VFW in their endeavor to obtain the Missouri.
Del Knauss, Bremerton resident, questioned who ordered the Value
Engineering Study on the SR304 to downtown route, why is the EIS
back in Washington D.C., and why didn't the high paid consultants
and city staff know that such a study would be required? He and
other are up in arms over the City's further review of the one-way
couplet system. He pointed out the frustration extends to Mayor
Horton and Randy Witt, City Engineer as well. The reason for his
and other members of the public's frustration is that they believed
the Council had voted to approve a "do nothing" option, but now it
is being readdressed. He stressed it is important that everyone
involved attend the citizen Advisory Committee meetings.
Emil~Moshay voiced her support of the efforts by the VFW Post 3964
to keep the USS Missouri in Bremerton.
7A - CONFIRMATION OF BUILDING DEVELOPMENT PERMIT MANAGER (BUILDING
OFFICIAL) APPOINTEE JUDITH M. JOHNSONt ~AB96-236
The Building Development Permit manager position includes Building
official responsibilities. The BMC requires City Council
confirmation of the Building Official. An assessment center
process, which included neighborhood representatives, construction
trade professionals, and city regulatory staff was used to screen
the applicants. The Mayor's appointee is Judith M. Johnson.
Mayor Lynn Horton noted she was standing in for Donald Pratt,
#1327
TAPE #1417
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
October 23, 1996
Page 5 of 11
Director of Community Development, who would normally make this
presentation, but he is out-of-town. Following the assessment
center process, Judith Johnson was the No. 1 rated candidate. She
and Mr. Pratt interviewed Judith and were impressed with her
knowledge level and her willingness to deal with customers in a way
that makes everyone come up with a win-win solution. References
and past employers were contacted and all of them gave very glowing
comments about how Judith interacts with the public and her
technical skills. One area Mayor Horton was concerned about was
on the one hand we expect the Building Department to be customer
friendly, but on the other hand we do have abatements that
sometimes need a more heavy handed approach, if responsible
resolutions cannot be obtained. Judith was asked if she would be
willing to switch gears and possibly go from one meeting where she
is trying to bring someone into compliance, who is reluctant to do
so, and turn around and meet with a potential business that wants
to locate in Bremerton. Mayor Horton feels very strongly that
Judith can handle such a situation. She also believes Judith's
high energy level will be of great benefit to the city to
accomplish the tasks she has before her. Therefore, she urged
council's confirmation of Judith Johnson as the Building
Development Permit Manager.
Public comment - none.
Mr. Winters questioned if new construction code applies in every
situation, i.e. remodel, etc., or because of the old existing way
a house was built it could be built to conform to that previous
code condition? Judith Johnson stated there would be no difference
in the inspection process for new construction, i.e. the new
addition being added on to a home; however, there are ways to add
on to that home with the same materials in order to achieve the
same look as the original built home.
M/S/C/U(Montgomery/Huff-Menees) to confirm Judith M. Johnson as
Building official.
Judith Johnson stated as clarification to Mr. Winters' question
about inspections, part of what you have with new construction is
current codes that are applicable. If you were talking energy,
there are ways to build 2x4 construction and still meet the current
energy Codes. She wasn't total clear whether Mr. Winters was
talking code specific or inspection specific.
8A - RESOLUTION NO. 2564t APPROVING FINAL PLAT FOR 42 LOT SINGLE
FAMILY RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION ON TWO ADJOINING PARCELS TOTALIN~
3.7 ACRES; APPLICANT: FPH MANAGEMENT CONSTRUCTION, INC., ~AB96-23~
The Preliminary Plat for Broadmoor Village, a 42 lot planned unih
development and subdivision allowing relatively small lots with
TAPE #1417
city council Reg. Mtg. Minutes

Page 6 of 11
reduced setbacks, was approved by the city Council on August 31,
1995 subject to conditions (see Exhibit C, with statements of
compliance). Improvements necessary for road access, utilities and
fire protection have been constructed in compliance with the
preliminary plat approval. 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 & Plats requires Final Plat approval by the City
Council.
President Law asked the ,,appearance Of Fairness/Conflict Of
Interest" question with all Council members being seated.
J&¢k ~, Planner, stated the original preliminary plat was
approved for 43 lots and it was a combined preliminary plat
planned unit development. Subsequently, the plat has been designed
with the final planned unit development approved by the Director of
community Development and the plat has been constructed with all
roads, utilities and provisions for curbs, gutters and sidewalks
and open space. The city has accepted a bond for some remaining
landscaping that needs to be completed along the north property
line, and a security bond guaranteeing the durability of the
utilities and streets, which is allowed by the Subdivision Law.
Before any lots or structures within the plat can be sold, a final
plat must be approved by the City Council and recorded with the
County auditor. At this time, Council is asked to pass a
resolution approving the subdivision.
Public comment - none.
Mr. Overson questioned the number of parking spaces required per
lot and how it is accommodated in the plan? Mr. Allinqham stated
the current zoning regulations require two parking spaces per
dwelling unit. The final planned unit development provides for the
required parking by use of a single car garage with additional
parking in front of the garage. Common parking areas are shown on
the east and west end of the open area.
Mr. Mont om~ stated his only concern had to do with the water
retention pond and questioned how fast will the water evaporate out
of the pond? Mr. Allinqham explained the stormwater system
incorporates an underwater storage tank, which is located under the
public right-of-way. Water will flow from all impervious surfaces
into biofiltraton swells and from there it will flow into a
stormwater detention tank. The stormwater detention tank may fill
up to the point where water is backed up into a pond located in
Tract C. It is not anticipated that water will remain in the pond
for more than 48 hours and that the slopes into Tract C are a 3-1
slope and have been engineered to take into account the water and

any safety factors. Mr~ Montgg_~/ stated he believed the majority
of the families living in the subdivision will have small children
and he was fearful that someone might drown in the pond when filled
with water. Mr. Alli~ pointed out the pond is not the only
stormwater detention site on the property.
Mr. Fart asked if the conditions set at the time the preliminary
design was approved on August 31, had been met. Mr. Alllnqham
stated yes.
Mr. Colvin stated he shared Mr. Montgomery's concern about the
water retention pond and questioned who would be responsible if a
child did drown? Mr. Allin hg_~ stated he was not a practicing
attorney and could not speculate on that responsiblity. Mr. Colvin
asked if the homes in the subdivision would be for first time home
buyers only? Mr. ~ll~n~ stated there are no restriction as to
who can purchase homes. Mr. Colvin questioned who would be
responsible for maintenance of the open areas? Mr. Allinqhmm
explained a Home Owners' Association has been formed to provide for
the upkeep of all common areas.
M/S/C/U(Farr/Winters) to adopt Resolution No. 2564, accepting the
final plat of "Broadmoor Village", located at 1000 East Broad
Street, Bremerton, Kitsap County, Washington.
8B - RESOLUTION NO. 2565~ SUPPORTING VETERANS~ REQUEST TO OBTAIN
USS MISSOURIt ~AB96-238
Local Veterans' groups are requesting, through a long standing
federal statute, that they be granted ownership of the surplussed
battleship USS Missouri. This resolution supports their efforts.
Mayor Lynn Horton stated Bob Sauter approached the City Council two
weeks ago seeking their support of the local veterans group in
their attempt to have the USS Missouri surplussed to them. She
felt strongly that it behooves all of us to try to keep the
Missouri in this area. she supports the efforts of VFW Post 3964
and urged Council to support their efforts as well.
Robert Ferus~, VFW Post 3694, noted the USS Missouri is quite
large and he did not think VFW Post 3694 would be able to utilize
all the space, so the city of Bremerton, Kitsap County and the
State of Washington would be welcome to share that space with them
in any form that could be arranged. Most of the surviving veterans
of W-WII reside in the continental United States and it would be to
their advantage to have the Missouri moored in Bremerton. He
personally had the opportunity to view the signing of the Peace
Treaty with Japan from another ship.
Mr. McConnell asked if the VFW Post was successful, would the Navy
TAPE #1417
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
October 23, 1996
Page 8 of 11
attach strings as to maintenance, etc. Mr. Ferquson stated he did
know what requirements may be mandated, if any. They were not far
enough into the process to have that kind of information. The
local organization would have to maintain the ship and they would
have to open the ship up to outside tourism and other functions to
collect additional revenue to fund the project. Ma¥0r Morton
stated the original proposal submitted to the Navy identified the
need for 1.5 million dollars annually for upkeep and maintenance,
but the prospectus that was developed, using a loaned Boeing
executive and a market research firm, identified allowing the
public to come aboard for a reasonable rate and other fund raising
efforts through sponsorships, etc., the 1.5 million dollars per
year would be attainable.
Mr. Winters thanked all of the people who worked on the proposal to
save the Missouri. He believes there many people, such as his
father, who worked in Shop 41 of Puget Sound Naval Shipyard for 30
years, helped to maintain ships and his father recalled at one
point when the Missouri was going to be recommissioned into service
that it was to be retired in Bremerton. He applauded the efforts
being taken to further pursue acquisition of the Missouri and he
urged the public to write letters to every single Congressman.
Mr. Colvln asked if Mr. Sauter's organization contacted all of the
veteran organizations throughout the United States? Mr. Sauter
stated not at the present time. Information has been sent out on
the Internet to the Fleet Reserve Association, Peal Harbor
Survivors Association Medal Of Honor Society. E-Mail has been sent
to the Association Of Army, who are 2.5 million strong. He
emphasized this is another example of bridge building. The
Veterans Of Foreign Wars are about the biggest bridge builders
between the community that exists in the world today. They enter
the schools and bridge the gap that is lacking in history and not
taught in the school. They convey that message of our heritage,
roots and how they were defended. The American Legion, the
disabled American veterans and every veterans organization conveys
this bridge from the past to the future. That is what they want to
do through this proposal along with the cooperation of the city,
County, State and entire nation. Mr. colvi~ commended the veterans
for their efforts in reaching out within the community.
Mr. Overson asked if such an endeavor has been successful in the
past? Mr. Sauter stated the American Legion Post in Radcliff,
Kentucky acquired two tanks valued at $200-300,000.
Mr. Montqomer¥ stated he wrote a letter to President Clinton on
this issue and he received a "standard canned" response. He
believes it is a political decision and he hoped someone in
Washington D.C. is paying attention to what the veterans are trying

M/S/C/U(Montgomery/Colvin) to adopt Resolution No. 2565,
9~ - CLOBED RECORD PUBLIC HE~RING TO WR~R ~PPEAL OF A PLkNNING
COMMISSION DENIAL OF AN APPLICATION FOR ZONING ORDINANCE 8PECIA~
EXCEPTION; APPELLANT: PAUL & L.G. GADDIS, %AB96-239
The applicant is appealing a Planning Commission decision to deny
(vote 7 to 0 against) an application for a Zoning Ordinance Special
Exception (ZOSE) to construct a carport or garage in the front yard
setback. The applicant had failed to meet all six criteria
essential for approval of the ZOSE. Note: This is a Closed Record
Public Hearing. There will be no public testimony taken.
Kathleen McCluske¥, city Clerk, noted the back page of the
applicant's request was not included in the documentation;
therefore, the city Attorney asked that it be read into the record:
"The building which exists at present has no resemblance to a
carport which is what we have asked for and is described in our
application. Planning Department and Planning Commission have
misunderstood and in some instances added to our application. Our
application on its own is a model acceptance as it changes nothing
in the character of the neighborhood. It presents no safety hazard,
nor does it add any. Chapter X. Section 10-A is pertinent for this
due to the high bank characteristic and gauntlets that the
driveways have created."
President Law asked the "appearance Of Fairness/Conflict Of
Interest" question with all Council members being seated.
President Law asked if any member of the City Council had not
reviewed the record of the Planning Commission Hearing? Mr.
Winters stepped down.
President Law asked if any member of the City Council visited the
property since this hearing was scheduled? Mr. Fart stated he
believed he walked past the site since it is not far from his home
and along the route of his daily walk, but he could remain
objective. (Note: no one objected to Mr. Farr being seated.)
Mr. Colvin asked the city attorney to explain the portion of the
hearing that pertains to Council viewing the site prior to the
hearing date? Ian sievers, city Attorney, stated that is one of
the limited forms of evidence that Council allowed themselves to
have introduced at the closed record hearing as long as they do
state the circumstances for their viewing the property.
Mr. Neville referenced the applicant's referral to Chapter X
Section 10-A, and noted the documentation provided only included
for an explanation as to the
TAPE #1417
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
October 23, 1996
Page 10 of 11
Chapter X, Section 10-C. He asked
content of chapter X, Section 10-A. Mrs. Huff-Menees pointed out
the applicable ordinance is addressed in Chapter X, Section 10-C,
and if Chapter X, Section 10-A was applicable to this issue, it
would have been included as part of the Planning Commission
hearing. Mr. Mont omeqg~gX~_ pointed out Chapter X, Section 10-A is
referenced in the Planning Commissions Findings Of Fact &
Conclusions Of Law And Decision and quoted as follows: "As stated
in Chapter X, Section 10-A of the Zoning Ordinance, the special
Exception process is intended to permit relief from zoning
requirements that may cause undue inconvenience or irritation, but
are not so severe that they would warrant a Variance on the basis
of hardship."
President Law questioned the date of the applicant's appeal? Ms.
McCluske¥ stated September 3, 1996. She believed Mr. Neville's
concern was whether or not the reference to Chapter X, Section 10-A
by the applicant was in error or if it was applicable.
Mr. sievers stated the subsection cited by the applicant is
Subsection A, the introduction to the Zoning Ordinance Special
Exception, which reads: This section establishes a process for
permitting relief from Zoning Ordinance requirements that may be
inappropriate and specific unique situations or that may cause
undue inconvenience or irritation to the owner or occupants of the
affected properties, but that are not so severe that they would
warrant a Variance on the basis of hardship". Subsection C, as
referenced in the Planning Commission report, identifies the
criteria for Zoning ordinance Special Exception.
Jams Coombes, Department Of Community Development Land Use
Specialist, passed out photographs of the subject site that were
submitted by the applicant and shown to the Planning Commission. He
also provided view graphs showing the location of the site and site
plan. A brief slide presentation was also made showing the present
condition of the proposed site. Mr. Coombes stated staff's
recommendation is to uphold the Planning commissions decision of
denial.
Mrs. Huff-Menees noted she found nothing legal, in terms of the
requirements, that would allow Council to approve the request.
Mr. Colvin asked the City Attorney to respond to the legal question
injected into the discussion. Mr. Sievers stated it is not a legal
question, there is criteria for approving this request and the
Planning Commission found those criteria were not met. Whether or
not they are met, is based on what evidence the Planning commission
heard and what Council sees in the transcript. Council needs to
find evidence within the documented testimony that supports each of
#3025
TAPE #1417
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
October 23, 1996
Page 11 of 11
those exceptions. He believed Mrs. Huff-Menees' statement was
that she did not find facts in the transcript that supported all of
the exceptions. Mr. McConnell stated his support of Mrs. Huff-
Menees' position based on the fact that the applicant must meet
every criteria, which was not the case.
M/S/C/U(Montgomery/Colvin) to DENY Appeal No. 96-0005, and uphold
the Planning Commission's Decision, denial of a Zoning Ordinance
Special Exception to construct a carport in the front yard setback.
President Law thanked the TV camera crew for their services: Vera
Crocker, Terry Bowlby, Rob Rupe, Patricia Mathis.

PCMS (VMS) Purchase from Coral Sales Co.
A quote from Coral Sales Company of Portland, Oregon is attached. The quote is FOB
Bremerton, for two American Electronic portable-changeable message signs (PCMS) configured
the same as WSDOT's contract units, except that our units will be furnished with a 110 VAC inlet
(to power the sign without running the generator set), with PC control software, and without a
laptop computer. Also included is a 4-hour O/M training session when the signs are delivered to
US.
As we discussed, I talked with Bob Tulp about the units before obtaining the quote. He specified
a pintle trailer hitch instead ora ball hitch and did not want brakes on the trailers. He also
requested a hand-held controller unit to allow access to and control of the standard messages and
symbols programmed into the PCMS' non-volatile memory without use of a laptop computer. I
asked Coral Sales to quote only one controller, since it can be connected to either unit. The
controller includes one data switch; a second data switch is required to be installed on the second
PCMS. The controller unit and additional data switch for the second sign are shown separately
on the quote.
If we issue a P.O. by November 1, Coral can guarantee delivery on or before the first of the year
for use on Callow CSO Phase 2. Including sales tax, the total for two signs, hand-held controller
and data switch is $67,724.25.

Re: 1997 Property Tax Levy
Attached are the Agenda Bill and draft Ordinance for levying
property taxes for collection in 1997. As stated in Section 2 of
the Ordinance, the levy figures are based on the County Assessor's
preliminary estimate of the City's valuation. As the Assessor
produces the final assessment figures, the numbers in our Ordinance
will be modified accordingly. Usually there is a minor revision
upward in the assessed valuation which results in slightly lower
levy rates and slightly higher property tax revenue.
The City's property tax levy actually consists of three different
components, the method for setting the levy is slightly different
for each of these components:
The general levy is by far the largest component of the City's
levy. It is used to help finance the operations of the City's
General Fund and is levied as an exercise of the statutory
authority of the city Council. The amount of this levy is
limited by two different statutes; RCW 84.52.043 limits the
City to a maximum levy rate of $3.375 per thousand, RCW
84.55.010 further limits the city's property tax revenue to a
maximum of 106% of the highest of the preceding three years
plus the amounts resulting from new construction and
annexations. Our ordinance is worded so as to levy taxes at
the rate permitted by the 106% rule, however the maximum levy
rate will be the operative limitation on this years levy.
The Emergency Medical levy is set pursuant to excess levy
authority granted by the voters in 1992. The voters approved
an excess levy not to exceed $.25 which is the rate proposed.
The Library Bonds were paid off in 1996 so no levy will be
assessed in 1997.
The Fire Bond levy is set pursuant to authority granted by the
voters in 1978 and 1990 authorizing bond issues in 1979 and
1991 respectively. The annual levy is set to match the city's
debt service obligation on those bond issues for the year.
