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. Farr 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! MAYOR'S REPORT Mayor Lynn Norton 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.

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 #1. 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. #0837 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 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. Montgomery 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. #0949 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 TAPE #1473 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes June 25, 1997 Page 5 of 15 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. Colvin 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. #1238 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: In Favor: Montgomery, Huff-Menees, Neville, Farr, Overson, Law, McConnell, Colvin Opposed: Winters Motion carried. 7D - PURCHASE ORDER WITH OLYMPIC VIEW SANITARY LANDFILL INC. t #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 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. Overson complimented Mr. Witt and his staff for negotiating a good rate. #1420 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 MACHINE, AND APPROVING BUDGET ADJUSTMENT #97-15, #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 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. #1705 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: In Favor: Montgomery, Huff-Menees, Neville, Farr, Overson, Law, McConnell, Colvin Opposed: Winters Motion carried. 8A - RESOLUTION #2608, AUTHORIZING AN INTERAGENCY COMMITTEE FOR OUTDOOR RECREATION (IAC) APPLICATION FOR SMITH COVE DEVELOPMENT AND PENDERGAST FIELD LIGHTS, #AB97-142 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 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. #2197 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. 2605t CALLOW AVENUE BASIN CSO PRIORITY ? CONSTRUCTION - ACCEPTANCE OF PUBLIC WORKS TRUST FUND LOAN (NO. PW- 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. Randy Witt, 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. #2328 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 CALMIN~ 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? ~. 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. McConnell asked for the reasons given by citizens opposing traffic calming devices on Lebo? Mr. Colvin stated citizens said there 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 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. 2609, regarding the 1997 City Traffic Calming Program. TAPE #1474 8D - RESOLUTION #2610, MANETTE BRIDGE REPLACEMENT RECOMMENDATION, #AB97-145 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. Alethia Douglass, 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 Farr 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. Montgomery 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. #1166 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 AMENDMENTS TO THE ZONING CODE AND ZONING MAP, #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 Farr 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. sievers, 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 Hough, 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. McConnell 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. Houqh 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. McConnell 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)?
