On May 9, 1998, he attended the Bremerton Church of the Nazarene's Springfest event, which was well attended. He was impressed with the variety of activities and food provided at no cost to the participants. He extended a special "Thank You" to the Pastor and members of the church for the effort they put into this community event. Mr. McConnell reported on Monday evening he enjoyed watching softball games at Pendergast Regional Park. He was amazed at the beauty of the park and the outstanding facilities. He believes the beauty of the Pendergast complex matches the Gold Mountain Golf Course Complex. Comments from players indicated Pendergast had the best fields they had played on. In addition to the play fields there is a snack food stand and playground facilities for children. He viewed Pendergast Park as a perfect place for families to enjoy recreational activities. Mr. Law announced District #3's Neighborhood Meeting would be held May 19, 1998, 7:00 P.M., at the Senior Center. The guest speaker at that meeting will be Glenna Malanca, City Attorney. As previously announced, in order to allow a presentation on "anti-fluoridation", at his District meeting, there would have to be a balance with a "pro-fluoridation" presentation. As of this date, he was not successful in getting someone from the pro side to participate and hopefully a future date can accommodate that discussion. Mr. Overson reported on May 12, 1998, residents in the Highland Avenue area participated in a Block Watch activity where they enjoyed stimulating discussion. He appreciated the Police Department's support at that meeting, particularly Detective Kent Boekweg and Sgt. Rawlins, who answered lots of questions in a very professional manner and provided good information and advice on how to build a better community. He reminded everyone of the upcoming Armed Forces Day activities on May 16, 1998, starting off with the Lions' Pancake Breakfast at 7:00 AM.

Mr. Shepherd announced District #5 would hold a Neighborhood Meeting on May 28, 1998, 6:30 P.M., at Memorial Lutheran Church. The program for that meeting will include a Block Watch Update by Detective Kent Boekweg. He noted a common theme of reactivation and re-energizing Block Watch programs throughout several Council Districts in an effort to fight against crime. He reminded everyone of the Armed Forces Golf Tournament at Gold Mountain Golf Complex on May15 and a Model Train Display at the Old Wooley's Mall from 10:00 AM - 5:00 P.M. Mrs. Arends noted the Old Wooley's Mall is located in the old Woolworth Building located on the corner of Burwell Street and Pacific Avenue. Roadwork continues in the south end of District #7 and District #8 is experiencing roadwork on Kitsap Way. MAYOR'S REPORT Mayor Lynn Horton reminded everyone the City of Bremerton is hosting an OPEN HOUSE at the Oyster Bay Public Works facility on May 14, 1998, 3:00 P.M. - 6:00 P.M. The road construction work within the City is causing some traffic concerns; however, several vehicle accidents were due to slick roads following the recent rain. She cautioned everyone to please drive carefully. Mayor Horton referenced a newspaper article in the Seattle P.I., that was written by Jean Godden in which she described Bremerton in a satirical manner slamming the efforts to entice people to the Bremerton area. In response to that article, Mayor Horton wrote a Letter to the Editor indicating she felt it was beneath Seattle's dignity to have to "slam" other communities and then went on to talk about Bremerton's affordable housing, lack of congestion, air quality and other amenities that Seattle and the I-5 Corridor wished they had. Jean Godden E-mailed her response back to the Mayor's Office, in which she indicated she and Seattle Mayor Paul Schell would be visiting the Bremerton/Kitsap Peninsula on May 18. As a result, the Mayor extended to them an invitation to be her guest at either lunch or dinner and hear a little different perspective on what Bremerton and Kitsap County have to offer. Mayor Horton read the following Proclamations: (1) MAY 17-24, 1998, NATIONAL AQUATIC WEEK, which was accepted by Jeff Elevado, Parks Department. He invited everyone to the Glenn Jarstad Aquatic Water Center where they will celebrate their 19th year of operation in June. They hope to service over 100,000 people in 1998. TAPE #1543 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes May 13, 1998 Page 4 of 13 (2) MAY 16-22, 1998, NATIONAL SAFE BOATING WEEK, which was accepted by David Hamilton, Bremerton Power Squadron. Mr. Hamilton announced the Bremerton Power Squadron educated approximately 200 adults in boating safety in 1997. A major concern that exists today is the lack of life jackets being used on children when they are in small boats. As a result, boating classes will be taught in the schools so those children understand the importance of wearing life jackets. (3) MAY 15-16, 1998, POPPIES DAY, which was accepted by Ruth King Yates and another representative from the Ladies Auxiliary Groups. Mayor Horton welcomed members of Boy Scout Troop 1512. Mayor Horton announced on May 7, 1998, a group of 50 youth from the West Park community won a Governor's award for efforts to a drug free Washington State. Only six of hundreds of Washington communities were awarded this recognition. She invited each of the young people representing that group and the adult leaders to introduce themselves and following that introduction she presented them with a Certificate of Achievement in honor of their outstanding excellence. Annette Atkinson, Bremerton Housing Authority, thanked the Mayor and City Council for the opportunity to recognize the children for the choices they are making to be drug free. She emphasized the youth are doing a spectacular job at the West Park Community Center. A representative of King Java, a Junior Achievement Company that runs an Expresso Cart in the West Park Community Center, presented Mayor Horton with a share of their "stock" in their company. Police Chief Paul Du Fresne and Captain Joe Hatfield presented Police Officer John Bogen a Letter of Commendation for his heroic actions rescuing a young child from a house fire on April 20, 1998. Officer Bogen was the first to respond to a 911 call reporting a fire and when he was told a child was still in the burning building he disregarded his own safety by entering the smoke filled building and located the crying child in an upstairs bedroom and brought him to safety just prior to the Fire Department arriving on the scene. Officer Bogen expressed his appreciation and added that a lot of Police Officers deserve to be recognized for their efforts in protecting the public as well. Mayor Horton thanked Lynn Drake, Community Resources Division, the Police Department, and the Fire Department for helping the Bremerton High School student body put on a mock DUI crash, which was well received by the students. A real effort is being put forth by the High School to get the students through the graduation season safely through reduced incidents of use of alcohol by minors. TAPE #1543 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes May 13, 1998 Page 5 of 13 President Farr stated in reference to the Seattle P.I. newspaper article referenced by Mayor Horton he too received several telephone calls from citizens that were less than amused by the "Ma and Pa Kettle" comments. He was happy to see that there is pride within the Bremerton community. PUBLIC RECOGNITION Reverent Cleveland Willjams, Ebenezer A.M.E. Church, reminded everyone of the upcoming Armed Forces Gospel Concert "In The Spirit Of The Lord" on May 17, 1998, 4:00 P.M., at the Bremerton High School Performing Arts Center. This program will include the Gospel Music Workshop of America and the Martin Luther King Community Choir, conducted by Darriel W. Menefee. Admission for this event - under 12 years of age $5,00 and over 12 $7.00. Tickets will be available at the door. He noted Ebenezer A.M.E. Church sponsor Cub Scout Troop #110 from West Park Community Center. Leo Danaher, Boy Scout Troop 512, stated his troop utilizes the Scout Hall at Forest Ridge Park and a problem has occurred that he needed help to resolve. Over the past four months, their troop has had about six break-ins to their equipment, supplies, and Scout Hall. All of their expensive equipment was taken and each time the inside of the hall was sprayed with fire extinguisher repellent. It was his understanding that because the City owned the building the troop could not do a lot to secure or update the site. He asked if it would be possible for the Parks Department to update the building by constructing a stronger method to keep criminals out. Padlocks can be cut off and the current doors can be ripped off. Annette Atkinson, Bremerton Housing Authority, stated it was important that a number of people be recognized for their support of the youth from West Park and those included: Dennis Clark, Ambassador Limousine, volunteer Scott Campbell, members of Cub Scout Troop 110 and members of the West Park Soccer Team. Susan Brown, Bremerton resident, referenced a newspaper article in the May 9th edition of THE SUN regarding the possibility of conflict of interest by Councilman Jim Reed. In her efforts to bring about revision of the City's Ethic Code, issues of appearance of fairness and conflict of interest were serious concerns that she believed needed to be addressed by the City. In her opinion, Mr. Reed's personal involvement with the issue of piers and docks in the channel between Oyster Bay and Ostrich Bay presented not only an appearance of fairness but also a conflict of interest. At the time of her initial comments on the need for revising the Ethics Code in October 1997, the point she was making was even if something was legal under State law does not mean that it is right. When the Ethics Commission is in place, she will bring that issue before them. TAPE #1543 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes May 13, 1998 Page 6 of 13 Gordy Byrd talked about the importance for parents to hug their kids and for kids to hug their parents. Leaislative Report on auestions raised at previous Council meetings: May 6, 1998 City Council Meeting: Bremerton resident Larry Dickerson expressed concern over the lack of Navy Shore Patrols in Bremerton. Upon checking with the Shore Patrol Office, their practice is to respond when called in by Bremerton Police Officers; however, staffing levels have been reduced due to the Ships' Captains not assigning Ship personnel to Shore Patrol Duty. 8A - CONFIRMATION OF PHiLiP BERRY AS DIRECTOR OF ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, #AB98-098 The Human Resources Manager has completed recruitment for the position of Director of Economic and Community Development. The top eight applicants went through the assessment center process. The Mayor wishes to appoint Mr. Philip Berry. Mayor Lynn Hodon stated Mr. Berry was one of seven applicants interviewed out of approximately 40 applications. Based on that interview process and the fact that he had a very good mix of both public and private sector experience, there was a consensus that Mr. Berry was the #1 candidate. Mr. Berry is also knowledgeable about the City and its problems and will bring some creative solutions to the City's economic development efforts. In addition, being a Kitsap County and Washington State resident he understands the Growth Management Act, which involves some disagreement between the City and the County that has gone on over a considerable number of months. She urged Council to confirm Mr. Berry's appointment as presented. Public comment - None. President Farr stated as a member of the selection committee, the City was fortunate that there were so many good applicants for the position. He was impressed with Mr. Berry and was glad to see the position description include an emphasis on economic development. #1662 MISICIU(Overson/OIsen) Motion to approve the appointment of Philip Berry to the position of Director of Economic and Community Development. Mayor Horton announced she expected Mr. Berry to start work on or before June 1, 1998. 8B - APPOINTMENT OF MITCHELLE HONORE TO THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION, #AB98-099 TAPE #1543 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes May 13, 1998 Page 7 of 13 There is a vacancy on the Civil Service Commission and it is recommended Mitchelle Honore be appointed to fill the vacancy. Mayor Lynn Horton pointed out Ms. Honore had previously served on the Civil Service Commission and brought a good deal of professionalism to the Commission. She is well versed in employee issues based on her experience with the Washington State Employment Security Department. She urged Council's confirmation as presented. Public comment - none. Mr. McConnell noted Ms. Honore's past service on the Commission had to have been excellent or the Mayor would not consider her for reappointment. #1795 MISICIU(McConnell/Arends) Motion to confirm the appointment of Mitchelle Honore to the Civil Service Commission. Mayor Lynn Horton announced she was in the process interviewing candidates for the Ethics Commission. 8C -YWCA SERVICE AGREEMENT, #AB98-100 The YWCA ALIVE Program provides shelter services to citizens of our City under this agreement which provides for pass-through of funding from a state grant. Each year we are required to approve this agreement for execution by the Mayor. Lynn Drake, Community Resources Department, urged Council to approve the requested action that would provide funding in the amount of $19,879.00 to the ALIVE Program that benefits the citizens of Bremerton at an immediate time of need. The funding source is the Department of Trade and Economic Development through Criminal Justice funding and at no cost to the City. She introduced Karen Williams, Executive Director ALIVE Shelter. Karen Williams, on behalf of the YWCA Board of Directors and the Executive Director Linda Joyce, thanked the City Council for their consideration of this proposal. The YWCA ALIVE Shelter works closely with the Bremerton Police Department in assisting women involved in domestic violence. The Shelter provides advocate counseling for adults and children, assisting with medical needs and house them for a minim of four weeks at the shelter where they are given guidance in reorganizing their lives. As a result of this kind of assistance, many of the shelter residents have become volunteers within that organization. Calls through the legal advocates have experienced a 400% increase in telephone calls and inquiries over the past year, which reflects greater awareness of domestic violence issues. TAPE #1543 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes May 13, 1998 Page 8 of 13 Public comment - none. Mr. Shepherd stated he was particularly proud of the efforts of the YWCA and the ALIVE Shelter and that it is an indicator of the type of caring people within the community. Mrs. Arends expressed her support of the YWCA and ALIVE Shelter. Mr. Overson stated this organization always handles their operations in a very professional manner. After having a personal view of their activities, he would judge it as being one of the best of its kinds. #2022 MISICIU(Shepherd/Arends) Motion to approval for the Mayor to execute this contract. 8D - BUDGET ADJUSTMENT FOR EQUIPMENT RENTAL RESERVE FUND TO PURCHASE I'VVO VEHICLES FOR PARKS DEPARTMENT, #AB98-101 This budget adjustment will provide expenditure authority to replace two over-age vehicles in the Parks Department, which are not covered by the Equipment Rental Fund, from reserve money left over after the replacement of several Parks vehicles in 1997. The truck being replaced will be surplussed. Jim Spencer, Director of Parks and Recreation, stated in response to two questions raised during Committee discussions the plan is to surplus the 1982 pickup and he did check with the Transportation Manager to see if local competition could meet the State bid price, which they could not. The riding lawnmower is 8 years old and used at Ivy Green Cemetery. Public comment - none. Mr, Reed asked if the funds from the surplused vehicle would go into the General Fund. Mr. Spencer stated no; those funds would be put back into the Equipment Rental Reserve Fund. Mr. Overson extended compliments to the staff for getting good prices for the two vehicles. #2129 MISICIU(Overson/McConnell) Motion to approve Budget Adjustment No. 98-13. 8E - BUDGET ADJUSTMENT FOR THE REAL ESTATE EXCISE TAX FUND FOR WORK BY CONSULTANT ON SMITH COVE, #AB98-102 TAPE #1543 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes May 13, 1998 Page 9 of 13 This budget adjustment will provide expenditure authority necessary to carry out the scope of work of the existing contract for soil analysis at Smith Cove. The work was expected to be performed and paid during 1997, but has continued into 1998. Rich Hanna, City Treasurer, explained this was a matter of timing of the work performed under the contract for soils analysis and timing of the related payments. There is no change in the scope of work or price. At the time the 1998 Budget was adopted, it was anticipated that this work and the payment would have been completed prior to year-end 1997, which did not happen. Public comment - none. #2225 MISICIU(Overson/OIsen) Motion to approve Budget Adjustment No. 98- 11. 8F - BUDGET ADJUSTMENT FOR PURCHASE OF NEW STREET SWEEPER, #AB98-103 The Storm Section of the Public Works & Utilities is in need of purchasing a new Street Sweeper to replace the existing street sweeper, The money for this purchase is in the Equipment Rental Reserve and Equipment Revolving Fund. The budge adjustment request is for $150,000.00. Rich Hanna, City Treasurer, stated the request for replacing this equipment comes a couple of years earlier than expected. A useful life of 7 years had been estimated; however, the Utility Department determined the City is better served to operate the vehicle during certain periods of the year on a double shift basis (16-hours) rather than just eight hours per days. Obviously that has translated into a shorter life of the vehicle. During the winter months it is more cost effective to utilize this equipment to pick up sand than to allow it to go through the stormwater/sewer system into Wastewater Treatment Plant. Public comment - none. Mrs. Arends stated during the Committee discussion on this issue she was assured that the street sweeper did not damage the traffic buttons. Mr. Hanna stated damage to traffic buttons is caused by snowplows. Mr. Overson questioned for clarification the figures listed under #6 Impact On Staffing, Budgets, Facilities, Equipment or Other Resources? Mr. Hanna stated it should reflect Equipment Rental Reserve Fund. #2396 M/S/C/U(McConnell/Overson) Motion to approve Budget Adjustment #98- 15. TAPE #1543 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes May 13, 1998 Page 10 of 13 8G - BUDGET ADJUSTMENT TO RISK MANAGEMENT FUND, #AB98-094 Recent litigation awards will need to be paid and budgetary capacity for such payments need to be authorized. This budget adjustment request authorizes the transfer of funds from the Risk Management Reserve Account to the claims payment account in the Risk Management Fund. Peggy Lesser, Risk Manager, stated approximately 11-12 years ago a Risk Management Fund was established to collect funds and hold them until they are needed to pay claims and litigation. The City has done that successfully over the years. City staff members, Department Heads, and the Mayor have been diligent in the first 4-5 months in 1998, resolving a number of issues that lingered. At this time, it is necessary to move funds from the Reserve Account into the Expenditure Account in order to finalize the resolution of those matters. Public comment - none. #2495 MISIC(Overson/McConnell) Motion to approve the budget adjustment request. Vote on Motion: In Favor: Arends, Shepherd, Farr, Overson, Law, McConnell, Olsen Abstain: Reed Motion carried. 8H - UTILITY CONTRACTS WITH U.S. NAVY, #AB98-104 Under direction of the Mayor, finance and utility staffs have negotiated new contracts covering the provision of water and sewer services to Navy facilities. There are five contracts, respectively they provide for service at: PSNS, Jackson Park, Naval Hospital, East Park, and all other Navy facilities. Rates for service at PSNS will be 95% of retail for water and 105% of commercial I for sewer. All other Navy facilities will be provided service at retail rates. The effective date for the contracts is December 1, 1997 and the term is ten years. The rate changes will be applied retroactively to October 1, 1995. In the future, rates for the Navy change as retail rates do. Due to the length to the contracts, copies are not included with this agenda bill. Copies have been provided in the Council office for Council and public review. Rich Hanna, City Treasurer, explained the City has provided utility service to the Navy for about 80 years. The contracts in question replace earlier versions that were used for many years. Due to changing circumstances mostly having to do with how the Navy finances the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, those contracts were obsolete and difficult to administer. Also, the rates had not kept pace with TAPE #1543 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes May 13, 1998 Page 11 of 13 changes in the City's retail rate structure. The negotiation process was long and difficult, but the resulting contracts treat both parties fairly. Public comment - none. Mr. Law left the Council Chambers at approximately 6:45 P.M. Mr. Reed asked if he understood correctly that the Navy would be paying the same charge per gallon for water/sewer as any retail customer. Mr. Hanna stated yes, their rates are driven off the ordinance that Council periodically approves. Mr. Reed asked if the Navy's rates would reflect any future major improvements that may be needed for the water/sewer. Mr. Hanna stated yes, rather than containing the Navy's rates directly in the contracts they refer to an appendix, which is the City's current Rate Ordinance. Mr. Shepherd stated he reviewed the contacts both in the negotiation period and subsequently and complimented Mr. Sampley's efforts in effecting modern beneficial contracts for the City. Mr. Overson noted the Navy is a tough negotiator and the City did well in finalizing the proposed contracts. The City is fortunate to have a large institution like PSNS that utilizes City services and has the ability to pay and support their portion. President Farr asked the amount of funds identified in the contracts? Mr. Hanna stated the rate changes were applied retroactively to 1995 and the settlement amount was approximately $2.2 million. Mr. Law returned to the Council Chambers at 6:56 P.M. #2771 MISIC(McConnell/Overson) Motion to approve the contracts for utility service to Navy facilities and authorize the Mayor to sign. Vote on Motion: In Favor: Arends, Reed, Shepherd, Farr, Overson, McConnell, 01sen Abstain: Law Motion carried. 8[ - WATER AND WASTEWATER FUND BUDGET ADJUSTMENT FOR PERSONNEL, #AB98-105 A budget adjustment is requested for the Wastewater and Water Operating Funds to reflect current operations. This budget adjustment will specifically address three areas. First, within the Wastewater Fund, one of the WWTP Maintenance Technician positions is reclassified as Computerized Maintenance TAPE #1543 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes May 13, 1998 Page 12 of 13 Management System (CMMS) Technician. The justification for this change in position classification is provided in Exhibit 1. No additional budget expenditure is required for this position. The second area adjusts the Forestry Division budget (Water Fund) to recognize dewatering biosolids at the WWTP as a responsibility of the Wastewater Manager. This activity previously under contract operations was a responsibility of the Water Fund and should continue to be so. There is no net adjustment required for this action since all funds for this activity will be transferred from the Forestry Division (Water Fund) to a new biosolids division within the Wastewater Manager as explained in Exhibit 2. However, a Service Specialist Senior position is deleted from Forestry Division and a WVVTP Operator position is added for additional biosolids processing. The third area is a new Office Assistant II position proposed for the Engineering permit counter presently staffed by an Engineering Technician. The OA II will provide secretarial and administrative suppod. Plan review and engineering technicians and/or engineers as needed will provide technical suppod. The current engineering technician will be utilized performing project suppod and engineering-related tasks. The attached revised organizational chad shows the addition of the CMMS Technician and WWTP Operator under the Wastewater Manager, deletion of one Service Specialist Senior position in the Forestry Division, and addition of an Office Assistant II. Gene Sampley, Director of Public Works and Utilities, stated the proposal is three separate adjustments for the Wastewater and Water Fund. Due to their similarity, the three actions are presented on one Agenda Bill and there is no monetary adjustment required. Mr. Sampley briefly reviewed the three action items as outlined in the Summary Statement. He noted cost savings of $73,000 per year would be effected through the adjustment of operation of biosolids processing and method of application. Public comment - none. Mr. McConnell asked if the Service Specialist Senior position being deleted as a funded position. Mr. Sampley stated yes. #3118 M/S/C/U(Arends/Shepherd) Motion to approve Budget Adjustment No. 98- 16, and organizational chad as recommended. Mr. Overson announced on May 15, the new Chinook Passenger Only Ferry service would be inaugurated. The public is invited to ride the new ferry on May 15 and 16. TAPE #1543 City Council Reg. Mtg.
