REGARDING THE RECOVERY OF FEES FOR THE ABATEMENT OF DANGEROUS CONDITIONS ON THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 241 S. CAMBRIAN AVENUE. #AB00-048 Janet Lunceford, Building Specialist II, noted that on November 17, 1999, a complaint was received from the Bremerton Police Department that vagrants were inhabiting the abandoned house located at 241 S. Cambrian. Inspections by the Fire Department revealed a house open to vagrants and vandals and full of garbage. An abatement order was mailed to the owners, Gary and Lois Atnip, and posted on the property, requiring that they secure the building against entry by November 24, 1999. The abatement order was mailed by both regular and certified mail. The certified mail copy was returned by the Post Office as "unclaimed" after 3 attempts to deliver it. The owners did not secure the house by the deadline and the work was performed by the Public Works Department on December 13, 1999. The cost of this action, including administrative fees, totaled $1,111.55. Council must now decide if the fees are just and reasonable and how they should be collected. It was stated that this will not be the last action on this house. There were no comments from the public. #1810 M/S/C/U (Reed/Farr) Motion to adopt Resolution No. 2742, and order that the fees incurred for the abatement of dangerous conditions on the property located at 241 S. Cambrian Avenue be collected as reasonable abatement costs and become a lien against the property. 11B - PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE SURPLUS OF PROPERTIES AROUND THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT. #AB00-049 Paul Lucas, Administrative Analyst for Public Works & Utilities, stated that in June 19,97, the City Council approved the surplus for sale of properties around the Wastewater Treatment Plant that had been purchased as part of the odor mitigation efforts. Five properties were excluded at that time and now are determined to be surplus to the City's needs. City Council action is requested to authorize the sale of those properties. The properties affected are identified in Exhibit 1 and specifically identified by tax ID number and address in Exhibit 2. The public notice that will be sent, should Council approve this action, is provided at Exhibit 3. B.M.C. Chapter 2, Section 78, which dictates policy and steps to be taken to sell property owned by the City. Don Bullmon questioned if the property of Lovie Nichols was included in this action. Mr. Lucas responded "no". Mr. McConnell clarified that the City already owned these properties, and is deciding to surplus them because they cost more to maintain than they are worth. Mr. Farr clarified that these properties would be sold with an "odor easement", where new owners would waive their rights to sue the City over potential odors from the Wastewater Treatment Plant. #2010 M/S/C/U (Farr/Reed) Motion to approve surplus of the properties shown in Exhibits 1 and 2. TAPES #1686, #1687 & #1688 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes February 16, 2000 Page 4 of 10 9A - BUDGET ADJUSTMENT AND DECLARATION OF SURPLUS. #AB00-026 Rich Hanna, City Treasurer, stated that this adjustment will update the budget for changes in planning for vehicle acquisition and replacement which have occurred since the budget was developed in the fall of 1998. Council is also asked to declare as surplus the vehicles shown for replacement on the schedule supporting the Budget Adjustment Request. At the request of the Operations Committee, there was an additional overview, and resulting changes were highlighted. John Becker stated that he reviewed the list of surplus vehicles and equipment, and was concerned that a few vehicles were as "new" as 1992, and asked how the City determines which vehicles to surplus, and if they would be disposed of through an auction. Mr. Hanna responded that both issues are governed by the City Policy on "Equipment Replacement", and ensured that each vehicle is scrutinized and reviewed by staff to determine which vehicles will be replaced. He also discussed the various options used to dispose the vehicles, and added that the City owned the vehicles being discussed tonight, as opposed to leased vehicles. Mr. Drnjevic encouraged the City to utilize maintenance rather than replacement. Mr. Farr thanked Mr. Hanna and his staff for the additional $72,500 cut off the proposed budget item, and accepted the judgment of the people hired to determine the necessity of replacing vehicles. Mr. McConnell clarified that total reductions were actually close to $100,000. Mr. Reed informed the public that each month, the City places a certain amount of money into the Equipment Rental Reserve Fund for each vehicle. Mr. Esser asked for information on the "fair market value" used for surplus vehicles. Mr. Hanna stated the NADA "Blue Book" is used for a benchmark reference, but that most vehicles are sent to Stokes Auction, where bid prices usually fall between the wholesale and retail price. These funds are then returned to the Equipment Rental Reserve Fund, and used toward the purchase of a new replacement vehicle, along with the money saved monthly by the City (including any accumulated interest earned). Mr. Shepherd pointed out original policy decisions regarding vehicle replacement were based upon a long-term vision of reducing maintenance costs, so felt this was merely a "temporary diversion". #2899 M/S/C (Farr/McConnell) Motion to approve Budget Adjustment Request No. 00-3. Vote on motion: In favor: Law, Rollman, Farr, Esser, Reed, Olsen, McConnell, Arends Opposed: Shepherd Motion carried. #2951 M/S/C/U (Farr/McConnell) Motion to declare the vehicles scheduled in the supporting documents as surplus. 9B - INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH TRACYTON WATER DISTRICT, #AB00-027 Gene Sampley, Public Works & Utilities Director, reported that the Board of Commissioners of the Tracyton Water District anticipates dissolution of the District with the service area being assumed by the City of Bremerton Water Utility. Prior to acceptance of the District's service area by the City, the existing water system must be upgraded to current standards. The District completed a Capital Improvement Plan (1998). The District lacks the technical and administrative resources to facilitate implementation of the projects identified in the CIP. The attached Interlocal Agreement authorizes the City and District to work cooperatively on implementing the water main replacement projects as described in the CIP.

Financing of these improvements shall be structured for District dissolution and City assumption of the District's debt without effecting other Bremerton Water System ratepayers. Staff recommends approval of the attached Interlocal Agreement. TAPE #1687 John Becker discussed his understanding of the original agreement and funding responsibilities, in addition to voicing his concern that City of Bremerton ratepayers may be paying more than they should. Gary Keenan, Tracyton Water Commissioner, corrected several inaccuracies of the previous statements, and added further information to clarify the issue. He further clarified that .this proposal would be financed by Tracyton water customers, therefore City of Bremerton ratepayers would not be affected. In closing, he thanked City staff members for their assistance with these agreements. Mr. Farr asked for additional clarification to dispute the previous concerns that this would eventually be an added cost to the City of Bremerton. Mr. Sampley referred to Page 2, Section #3, Item (A) of the Interlocal Agreement between the City of Bremerton & the Tracyton Water District, which states "The DISTRICT shall be obligated to pay all costs of the project, including, but not limited, to administration, design, procuremerit, construction, inspection, and securing financing, including Bond Council fees, if any." Mr. Law added that when this item was before the Fiscal & Budget Committee, it was thoroughly reviewed to make sure there were no costs to the City, and thanked Tracyton Water District for their patience during this process. #0073 M/S/C/U (Law/Reed) Motion to approve the Interlocal Agreement between the City .of Bremerton and the Tracyton Water District, and authorize and direct the Mayor to execute the same. 9C - PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH HAMMOND, COLLIER & WADE LIVINGSTONE ASSOCIATES.

Cris Gears reported that at its meeting on January 26, Council passed on first reading, an Ordinance establishing May 16, 2000, as the date for a special election to submit a proposal to the City's voters regarding the issuance of $16,500,000 in general obligation bonds for Parks & Recreational facilities improvements. At that time, Council directed staff to complete its work with the Mayor's Site Selection Task Force, and to clearly identify a specific location for the new Recreation Center in the proposed ballot language. He provided a response to those requests, including supplementary background information regarding development costs. He further reported that the cost of the TAPES #1686, #1687 & #1688 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes February 16, 2000 Page 8 of 10 election, by mail, would be approximately $30,000 to $35,000. If the bond were to be placed on the General Election ballot in November, the cost would be approximately $6,000 to $8,000, but cautioned that a 6-month delay would most likely cause increased construction costs. The Site Selection Task Force completed its work on January 31st and is recommending that the proposed Recreation Center be located on property adjacent to the Admiral Theater, on the southwest corner of 6t" Street and Pacific Avenue. Language reflecting that recommendation has been incorporated into the attached Ordinance. Visuals of the proposed center were shown, as well as a map of the proposed location. Mayor Horton discussed further details of the project, including the benefits to the community, the decision for the proposed location, and funding potentials. Comments in favor of the proposed Recreation Center were provided by the following: John Skannel; Mike Mornany; Dave Boynton; Gary Cook; H. Emily Moshay; and Richard Neville. Comments in opposition to the proposed Recreation Center due to certain aspects of the project and/or the establishment of a Special Election Date rather than waiting for the General Election in November were provided by the following: Carey Bozeman; John Becker; Paul Drnjevic; and Gary Gartin. Mr. McConnell asked why a 6-month delay on the vote would cause a 12-month delay in the construction; would the costs incurred on the current facility go away, or be reduced; and did the $16.5 million include interest. Mr. Gears stated the 12-month delay would be due to the limited number of months in the "construction period". He explained that the current proposal includes vacating the Sheridan Park facility entirely, but they would continue to work with the YMCA to operate the Jarstad Aquatic Center more cost effectively. He further indicated that projected operating expenses for the new facility would be no worse than the costs incurred for running the current facilities, and there was also a chance it could generate revenue, then the Council could look at paying off the bond sooner. Lastly, he explained that the City would borrow $16.5 to .construct these projects, but the cost to pay it back over 20 years is a higher number just as it is when you borrow money to buy a house. The cost to property owners would be approximately 85-cents per $1,000 value (example on a $100,000 house would be about $85.00 per year). TAPE #1688 Mr. Olsen reminded those who voiced preference for a November ballot, that construction costs go up, they don't go down, and agreed that the additional costs for a 12-month delay must be considered. He added that members of the downtown community who have expressed their support for this project not only believe that it will work and help downtown Bremerton, but all of Kitsap County. Mr. Law reported that this issue was discussed at the District #3 meeting last evening, where a poll of those in attendance showed the majority wanted the item placed on the ballot. Additionally, he pointed out that the cost of borrowing is not going to go down between May and the end of the year, and if one basis point is saved when issuing the bond, it could save tens of thousands of dollars. Mr. Farr, Mr. Shepherd, and President Arends also voiced their support for the proposed project, as well as the Special Election date in May to allow the voters to decide. TAPES #1686, #1687 & #1688 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes February 16, 2000 Page 9 of 10 Mr. Esser held discussions with a group of his constituents who believed 1-695 sent a message stating that the voters do not want increased taxes or bonds. Therefore he did not feel he could not support the May 16 date for this bond issue due to the $30,000 to $35,000 cost of holding a special election, as well as the potential for low-voter turnout in May. He further expressed his opinion that this project could warrant a successful completion if the voters wanted it, but felt that waiting for the General Election in November would not only save money, but would offer a better chance for getting the 60% voter turnout required. Mr. Reed believed that voters should have their say, and he endorsed his support for improvements downtown, but also discussed budget concerns of the City, and therefore agreed that the additional costs to place this issue on a "Special Election" ballot could not be justified. He added that additional savings might also be possible if more time was taken to prepare this project to present it to additional developers in a more competitive market. Mr. Rollman directed attention to the City's budget shortfall, and emphasized the need for priorities. He stressed his belief that there were other more important issues for the City to spend their time and money on at this time, and that the proposed Recreation Center could wait. #0634 M/S/C (Shepherd/Olsen) Motion to pass Ordinance No. 4694 on second reading. Vote on motion: In favor: McConnell, Law, Shepherd, Farr, Arends Opposed: Rollman, Esser, Reed Motion carried. 10B - ORDINANCE NO. 4695 (SECOND READING) REPEALING ORDINANCE NO. 4676. REGARDING REVENUE LICENSING OF RESIDENTIAL RENTAL BUSINESSES, #AB00-037 First Reading of Ordinance was presented at City Council meeting on February 8, 2000. Mayor Horton summarized that the Legal and Administrative Services Departments are recommending that Council repeal Ordinance No. 4676 in its entirety after the Mukilteo ordinance from which this ordinance was modeled, was determined to be an unconstitutional tax by the State Supreme Court in December of 1999. At the time the ordinance was adopted by the City, the Council made it clear it was aware of the pending Supreme Court action and would respond to that ruling when filed. It is recommended that the City Council review its options after the Supreme Court rules on 1-695, which limits the City's options at this time. Jeff Turnine voiced his support for the repealing of this ordinance, which he felt was unfair. #0720 M/S/C/U (Reed/OIsen) Motion to pass Ordinance No. 4695, repealing Ordinance No. 4676 in its entirety, on second reading. '10C - ORDINANCE NO. 4696 (SECOND READING) AMENDING B.M.C. 9.24 AND ADDING PROVISIONS FOR THE IMPOSITION OF A "STAY OUT OF AREAS OF PROSTITUTION". #AB00- 038 First Reading of Ordinance was presented at City Council meeting on February 8, 2000. Detective Wendy Davis, Bremerton Police Department, reiterated that the proposed amendment of BMC 9.24 would reflect necessary changes to the City's needs. These changes additionally add provisions for the imposition of a "Stay Out of Areas of Prostitution" order as a condition of pre-trial release. The extensions of the area were specified. Lt. Daniel Freeman asked that Council consider the fact that the Salvation Army Facility is within the proposed area, and could deny access to those affected by this ordinance. Chris Ormbreck stated TAPES #1686, #1687 & #1688 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes February 16, 2000 Page 10 of 10 that he could sympathize with people needing help, but was tired of seeing the women who choose to prostitute themselves in his neighborhood. Det. Wendy Davis clarified that Judge Docter has the authority to allow entry to the Salvation Army to meet fundamental needs, however, it would not include "loitering". Larry Dickerson reiterated his request to extend the designated area. Police Chief Rob Forbes voiced his support for the boundaries as they now stand, and warned that a person's civil rights must be considered. Dana Ormbreck supported this ordinance, and looked forward to seeing Bremerton "clean up". Mr. Farr asked that Chief Forbes and Judge Docter closely monitor this program to ensure it works. #2000 M/S/F (Shepherd/Reed) Motion to approve ordinance on first reading, approving changes to BMC 9.24, including expansion of the area to include Park from Burwell to Evergreen Park, including Chester, and Broadway. Vote on Motion: In favor: Shepherd, Reed Opposed: Olsen, McConnell, Law, Rollman, Farr, Esser, Arends Motion failed. #2054 M/S/C/U (Shepherd/Reed) Motion to pass Ordinance No. 4696, approving changes to BMC 9.24 on second reading.
