Minutes May 14, 2003 Page 4 of 10 #1428 M/S/C/U (Short/Younger) Move to approve Christopher Holden to fill the vacancy on the Bremerton Housing Authority Board of Commissioners, with the term effective July 2003. 8B - RECOMMENDATION TO ALLOCATE FUNDS FROM THE HOME PROGRAM TO LIHI TO REHABILITATE PROPERTY AT 704 CHESTER AVENUE (#AB03-082): MaryIyn Waibel, HOME Program Coordinator, summarized that as a member of the Kitsap County HOME Consortium, the City of Bremerton receives an annual allocation of HOME funds from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to expand the supply of safe, sanitary and affordable housing for Iow income persons. The Low INCOME HOUSING INSTITUTE (LIHI) is requesting a deferred loan of $740,000.00 in HOME funds to rehabilitate the property at 704 Chester (Chester Terrace Apartments). The total development budget will be $7,165,186.00. It was explained that affordable safe family housing is needed in Bremerton, the City's HOME policy allows for projects that promote rehabilitation and renovation of existing buildings, and LIHI has the demonstrated ability to develop the project, therefore staff recommends approval of the funds. Sharon Lee, Executive Director of LIHI, gave a presentation on previous successes and plans for Chester Terrace, and thanked the Council for their consideration for funding the renovation of Chester Terrace. Plans would include renovation of the building while retaining its historical character, getting the building up to code, installation of a new elevator, adding new appliances, abating the site, adding on-site manager, setting affordable rent, and involving tenants in managing the building. Once funding is acquired, project construction could proceed in about 6 months. Mayor Bozeman expressed his desire to include Ms. Lee in future discussions of other possible renovation projects in the City. There were no comments from the public. Mr. Short asked how the management of the building would be accomplished. Ms. Lee answered that the intention was to form a resident council to deal with tenant issues, and to have an on-site residential manager. Mr. Short also asked how much funding has the organization received towards this project? Ms. Lee stated that the project is approximately 60% funded. Mr. McConnell asked for clarification on what amount is requested from the city for this project? Me. Lee responded that the higher figure includes the prior allocation that went towards purchasing the building. The current figure is for the renovation project. Mr. Rollman wondered if there would be enough parking spaces available for tenants and their guests. Don Riddell of LIHI, pointed out that the maximum number of spaces is allowed and there will be on-street parking available as well. Mr. Olsen expressed concerns over whether or not LIHI would be able to obtain necessary grant funding, and whether the loan would be committed prior to LIHI receiving the grants. Ms._..~. Waibel said that the motion can be amended to make receipt of the loan contingent upon getting the grants in place. Mr. Nvc~ren provided his support for revitalization efforts and this particular project. Mr. Youn~ler requested that Ms. Waibel explain to the public how HOME Funds are allocated. Ms. Waibel stated that approximately $450,000 is made available to the City from HUD each year, and that money may be used strictly for housing activity like down payment assistance TAPES #1892 & #1893 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes May 14, 2003 Page 5 of 10 program. Currently, the fund has a balance of $1,045,000 and the money must be committed within 2 years of receiving the money and spend the money within 5 years of committing that money to a project. Mr. Youn~ler was pleased with LIHI projects and hopes that renovation of the building will be good for the community and pose fewer demands on the Police Department. Ms. Arends was pleased with the proposed changes for Chester Terrace especially those changes dealing with supervision and management, parking issues, and traffic concerns. #2350 M/S/C (ShortJMaupin) Move to allocate $740,000 from the HOME program to LIHI to rehabilitate the property at 704 Chester Avenue (Chester Terrace Apartments). Voted in favor of Motion: Rollman, Younger, Maupin, Short, McConnell, Nygren, and Arends Voted opposed to Motion: Olsen Motion carried: 7-Yes; 1-No Discussion by Council Members continued regarding whether or not a stipulation could be p/aced on the funding so that if LIHI could not obtain grant funding then the City would be reimbursed for the loan. Since the funding would be committed for 5 years, the Council determined that if the funding were not used, the City would be able to utilize that funding for other projects at that point of time. It was determined that the loan would not be dispersed until the grant funding was acquired by L/HI. 8C - CONTRACT WITH FISCHER GENERAL CONTRACTING ~ INC. FOR RENOVATION OF STORA(~E BUILDING FOR USE BY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT [PUBLIC SAFETY BOND ISSUE] (#AB03'083): Kathleen McCluskey, Administrative Services Director, stated that the Public Safety Bond Issue included renovation of an existing pre-engineered metal building for use as office space and vehicle storage for the Police Department. It will include approximately 2,500 square feet of office space, and 2,500 square feet of vehicle storage space. There were no comments from the public. Mr. Olsen asked Police Chief Rob Forbes if he was satisfied with the amount of space provided in the building. Chief Forbes answered he was satisfied with the proposed site, and that they have been meeting weekly to review the contract. Mr. Rollman asked if staff was satisfied with the condition of the roof. Ms. McCluske¥ stated that the metal roof is 20-years old, and there are no plans to repair or replace the roof at this time. However, when replacement is needed, the roof would be covered with funds from the Facilities Fund, not Public Safety Bond funds. #3150 M/S/C/U (McConnell/Olsen) Move to approve contract with FISCHER GENERAL CONTRACTING, INC. in the amount of $120,000 plus Washington State Sales Tax; and authorize the Mayor the execute the same. TAPE #t893 8D - SETTING SALARY RANGE FOR MUNICIPAL SERVICES COORDINATOR (#AB03- 084): Carol Conley, Human Resources Director, explained that the City Council approved a new job description for the "Municipal Services Coordinator" position on April 9, 2003, and now desires to establish a salary band for the position based on this approved, revised job description. She briefly summarized what has occurred with this position up to this point, and then recommended that the position salary range be set at Band 15 of the Management Salary Pay Plan. TAPES #1892 & #1893 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes May 14, 2003 Page 6 of 10 Del Knaus$ reminded Council that there is already a signed Employee Agreement for this position, which was agreed on by all parties involved, and already had a set salary. He urged the Council to reset the salary to that of previous arrangement which was Band 11, Rate 4, because he believed that hat setting the salary at Band 15 is too high. Mayor Bozeman stated that this a public policy issue. He also wished to express his support for Sherdl Huff-Menees who currently serves in that position. Ms. Arends indicated to the Mayor that this issue is not about any particular individual nor should include any discussion about any individual employee. The issue is setting the salary for the position whose description was recently approved. Mayor Bozernan pointed out that the job being discussed is completely different than the job done under previous administrations, and in fact, is now different from the position he intended it to be. However, he hoped for this issue to be resolved, so the administration may move forward. Mr. Short asked if the City received the additional information he had requested regarding a similar position advertised for the City of Bainbridge Island. Ms. Conley replied that she has a copy of the job description from Bainbridge Island available for his review, and added that in a conversation with the Bainbridge Island Human Resources Director, she admitted that the jobs were a close match, but that from her perspective, she believed their pay rate was Iow. Mr. Short commented that he and President Arends have spent a considerable amount of time on this issue because the Bremerton City Charter sets the authority for the City Council to establish the duties and responsibilities for these types of positions. He encouraged the Council to establish the pay band tonight so everyone can move forward. Mr. Maupin commented that Mayor Bozeman has made a lot of good changes, as evidenced by all the great projects going on in the City right now. He understands that to debate an individual's salary in public is a difficult situation for both the Administration and the Council. At this point, he believes it would be best to support the proposal presented by the Administration, which was developed with direction from the Human Resources Director. Mr. Short addressed a previous comment by Mr. Knauss, clarifying that the previous agreement is not being considered in its original form because the job description has changed. Mr. NYaren appreciated the efforts of the Council President and Council Vice-President for their involvement in attempting to resolve this issue, and asked for support in approving band 15. Mr. McConnell reiterated that this situation stems from a violation of the City code. He further emphasized that setting the salary range at Band 15 is too high, and suggested Band 13. Mr, Rollman asked if the Council is within their legal rights to use the salary comparisons to determine a salary range for this position. Ms. Conley answered yes with respect to population, assessed valuation, organization of employees, and labor market. She elaborated that the AWC Salary Survey mentions some of these factors which were used to compare positions from different cities. Mr. Rollman asked if the Human Resources Director is the expert when it comes to recommending salaries for positions. Mr. Lubovich answered yes, and that Council should rely on her recommendations. Mr. Rollman asked if the Council is within their rights based on the Charter to decide a salary for a position. Mr. Lubovich stated that if the Council were to make a major change to the salary recommendation, then the Council would need to show good reason. Any recommendation has room for error, but since the Human Resources Director is the resident expert on this matter, the recommendation should receive consideration. TAPES #1892 & #1893 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes May 14, 2003 Page 7 of 10 Mr. Younller agreed that the Council are not experts on this type of issue, and therefore must rely on the recommendations given to them, however, he stated his intention to ask numerous questions to understand the reasoning and process used to come to the conclusions presented. Ms, Conley continued that it is not uncommon that the same job may have a multitude of names. Mr. Younger asked if it would be prudent to check job titles and descriptions to make sure the jobs are valid for the study. Ms. Conley stated yes, and explained that there are varying degrees of matches with job titles and job descriptions. Sometimes jobs appear to be similar but are not in terms of duties. Mr. Younger asked if an analysis was done initially before this issue came about. Ms. Conley replied that after the change in the job description, certain duties were changed and therefore the recommended salary went from a Band 17 to a Band 15. Mr. Younger asked when the study was done back in August 2002, was the job description different than the present job description? Ms. Conley answered yes, and added that the recommendation was based on "Internal Equity" or where that job fits in the organization of the City. Mr. YounRer asked for clarification on local labor market conditions. Me. Conle¥ described the job descriptions for jobs available for Bainbridge Island and Port Orchard, and had reviewed those job descriptions. The Council recessed at 7:30 P.M. and returned at 7:40 P.M. Me. Conle¥ continued, and stated that those jobs were not total matches and indicated that there were some differences in who the staff person would report to. She repeated that differences in city organization and differing duties makes it difficult to match the job description to any given job description provided by other cities. However, one job description was a close match in Lynnwood. Other issues were discussed which included market conditions. It was determined that neighboring cities have smaller populations and varying valuation. She mentioned that if Council did not feel comfortable supporting the position at Band 15, they go no lower than Band 14. Mr. Short clarified that Band 17 was the salary set for the job description before it was revised. He recalled discussion with Council President and Human Resources Director Carol Conley, where both options of Band 15 and Band 14 were mentioned for the revised job description. Me. Conle¥ established for Mr. YounRer that when an ordinance to amend the entire budget was passed last August by the Council, it included the setting of the position at Band 17. Mr~ Younger concluded that after considering all the factors presented, recommended placing this position at Band 14. Mr. Olsen provided a summary of events that led to this discussion on salary for this position, and conceded that no matter what is decided, problems will still exist. He referred to the discussions held with the Human Resources Director, Council President, and Vice-President, and inquired how serious Band 14 was considered. Ms. Conley answered that Band 14 would work if that is what the Council wants, but she reiterated her recommendation for Band 15. Mr. I~cConnell agrees that the issue must be decided so Council can move on, but based on recommended Pay Bands for similar job descriptions, he maintains that the job salary be set at Band 12 or Band 13. Mr. Olsen asked if Council picks the Band and Rate for the position, or just the Band. I¥1s~ Conley said that while Council may set the Band, the current salary would determine what Rate the salary would be set at. TAPES #1892 & #1893 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes May 14, 2003 Page 8 of 10 Ms. Arends explained that she has been heavily involved in this issue with Council Vice- President Short, and they consulted with legal counsel as early as January on this issue raising the possibility that the City was out of compliance with the BMC and Charter. She emphasized that the City is accountable, and this issue would need to be resolved prior to any future State audits. She understands the need for this position and hopes that setting the salary would resolve this issue. It was not the intent of the Council to make this issue personal or to lower anyone's salary. She wishes to move on to more important projects and other issues, and appreciates the leadership of the Mayor's office and would not want anything to jeopardize that. #0500 Main Motion - (Maupin/Nygren) Move to set the salary range for the position of "Municipal Services Coordinator" at Band 15.

There were no objections stated, so all Council Members remained seated. Mr. Lubovich emphasized that this was a "Closed Record" hearing, and the public will not have the opportunity at this hearing to provide any comments. The law states that with permit issues one hearing is allowed. Comments were taken at a previous hearing held by the Hearing Examiner.
