He also hopes that those in the public, who have concerns, stay in touch TAPE #1256 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes December 28, 1994 Page 2 of 14 with him by contacting the City Council Office. He thanked those who attended his District #9 meeting - A Year In Review, and that included Councilman John Law and his wife Niva, Crystal Jackson and Jack Lefcoski. He is planning to hold a District 9 meeting on a quarterly basis with the next meeting to be scheduled on last Monday in March. Lastly, he wished everyone a happy and safe New Years Eve. Mr. Dawkins cautioned everyone to be careful this New Years weekend. Mr. Montgomery wished everyone a safe and sane New Years and don't drink and drive. Mr. Law announced the next District #3 Neighborhood meeting is scheduled for January 17, 7:00 P.M., at the Senior Center on Nipsic Avenue. The guest speaker for that meeting is the City's new Police Chief Paul Du Fresne. He wished everyone one a happy, safe and successful New Year. Mr. Farr stated he had the misfortune to see the City's ambulance crew in action one evening last week, however, he has never witnessed a more professional group of young people working as they worked on his neighbor Paul Douglas, who experienced a medical emergency. He commended the City's paramedics and is certain their actions saved Mr. Douglas's life. Unfortunately, Mr. Douglas is still in critical condition at the Naval Hospital and everyone wishes him a speedy recovery. Mr. Overson reported he had a great Christmas. He extended a "Get Well" greeting to City Attorney Ian Sievers, who is recovering from broken wrist from a fall over the holidays. And, he wished everyone a safe holiday season. Mrs. Huff-Menees also wished Mr. Sievers a speedy recovery and was sorry to learn that he had an accident over the holidays. She extended a "Happy New year" to everyone and a safe, healthy and prosperous New Year. In reflecting back on her first year on the City Council, she has enjoyed it immensely and found it to be very challenging and rewarding. She has found a great deal within this City to be grateful for and has been very impressed with the quality of people she has had the pleasure of working with while in the service of the City this past year. And, she is looking forward to 1995. MAYOR,S REPORT - NONE TAPE #1256 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes December 28, 1994 Page 3 of 14 PUBLIC RECOGNITION Dave Noble, Vice President of Children's Safety Watch III and producer of the new SOLUTIONS show, wished the Council members a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. He explained that for a couple of years there has been a concept on how to make our community safer and it took a lot of action, writing and documentation. It was felt that through positive action, with a commitment to reinforce our community in safety and education to our youth, a difference could be made. His group undertook fund raising efforts from various organizations, however, they received very little financial backing, but decided they needed to stand on their commitment to do some things themselves. They will be starting their third year working with Bremerton Community Access Television in producing a local television show titled "SOLUTIONS" as well as an Editorial show in conjunction with Bremerton Junior High School and Mountain View Middle School. He is in the process of developing a TUTORIAL show for Bremerton and Kitsap County in which A and B students will actually teach a class. His philosophy is by highlighting academics and achievements of youth it would take way some of the attention the negatives activities, such as gangs and drugs, are getting. The City Council will be receiving a proposal from his organization within the next few days. He is a firm believer that actions speak louder than words. In the past, he has worked as a TV cameraman at City Council meetings and watched them get ridiculed and jumped on for lots of reasons. However, he sees a commitment in the Council's standing that it takes a lot to operate the City and to make decisions for the City and he commended them doing a good job. Jack Lefcoski expressed his concern over the lack of public participation at the District #9 Neighborhood meeting. If people don't take the time to come to District meetings and give their input on issues, then they should not complain about what is or isn't being done. He also wished more people attended City Council meetings. The Kitsap Lake Neighborhood Association's next meeting will be January 18, 7:00 P.M., at the Cascade Natural Gas office on Kitsap Way. Shannon Cook greeted her friends and co-workers at Harrison Hospital and she also encouraged others to attend City Council meetings. She thanked all those who came out for the Blood Drive on December 13. Dave Noble thanked the staff at Bremerton Community Access Television for their help and assistance as well as the School District and the City Council for their support. He encouraged the public to watch their program, which is televised at 4:00 P.M., on Wednesdays. TAPE #1256 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes December 28, 1994 Page 4 of 14 #0552 7A - CONFIRMATION OF MAYORAL APPOINTMENT - MUNICIPAL COURT JUDGE, #AB94-270 The four year term, by State Statute, for Municipal Court Judge is 1/01/94 to 12/31/97. In November of 1993, the current Municipal Court Judge was reappointed for the period 1/01/94 to 12/31/94 due to our understanding that a new state law required the Judge to run for elective office commencing 1/01/95. After discussing this issue with other cities and the State Attorney General's Office, it was determined that the Judge does not run for elective office until the end of his four-year term 12/31/97. Therefore, to clarify the previous appointment, Judge Martin should be appointed to serve the full four-year term 1/01/94 to 12/31/97. Public comment - none. M/S/C/U(Dawkins/Winters) to appoint Bruce Martin to Municipal Court Judge for the period 1/01/94 to 12/31/97. 7B - WATER SYSTEM TELEMETRY UPGRADE - PHASE I, #AB94-271 Strict operational control of the water system is required to protect public health, provide adequate supply, and meet regulations. The supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system provides operations staff with water system status, remote telemetry control of instrumentation and equipment, and alerts for alarm conditions. As part of the upgrades to McKenna Falls in 1993, the surface water system telemetry was transferred to computer-based SCADA. This project is Phase I of upgrading the groundwater portion of the system, reservoirs, and pump stations from the current outdated telemetry equipment to the computerized system. Technical Systems Incorporated (TSI) was the contractor for the McKenna Falls project and is recommended for this project. Hardware to be provided by TSI is sole source to ensure system compatibility and interface with the existing computer system. The professional services agreement provides for the design, purchase, and installation at a cost of approximately $73,000. Kathleen McCluskev, City Clerk, pointed out the term of the contract is June 30, 1995, not January 31, 1995. Kathleen Caha11, Water Resources Manager, explained telemetry is the electronic system that the City uses to control the operation of the water system and dependable controls are essential to operate the system properly. Technical Services Incorporated are recommended for this project to designed and installed telemetryon the surface source system. This firm does have knowledge of the City's system as required. Mr. Winters stated prior to this meeting he looked over the TAPE #1256 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes December 28, 1994 Page 5 of 14 proposed site for the new equipment and the existing equipment currently being used. He asked Ms. Cahall what the City planned to do with the old equipment once the new system is installed? Ms. Caha11 explained the City has used the existing equipment for approximately 10 years and was "used" equipment at the time it was purchased and installed. The control panels currently being used are very large and the computerized system can reduce all the data/information from those controls and put it into a desk top computer. The City will be surplusing the old equipment and she expected some other water' service will have a need for such equipment. Mr. Winters questioned the value of the old equipment and how much money the City might get back once it is sold? Ms. Caha11 stated she did not have that information at this time. Mr. Winters asked what are the plans for the extra space left once the old equipment is removed? Ms. Cahall stated the general area where the equipment is currently installed is a bit cramped and it will allow for some additional desks to be available to utility staff. The larger telemetry system will be in existence at its current location for at least a year or more...they will be taking pieces of it away as they transfer it to the computer system. Mr. Winters questioned the significance of the new equipment? Ms. Cahall stated in order to make sure that water is safe to drink and to meet regulations, the City has to monitor the trepidity. The Utility has instruments that measure trepidity, is fed back to staff in the office, which originates a number of miles away from the source of monitoring. Sometimes they are able to make changes from the office and not have to go out into the field to make adjustments. At other times, an alarm will go off identifying the need for staff to go out in the field to make adjustments. Mr. Farr noted the documentation stated Technical Systems Inc. was the contractor for the McKenna Falls project and is recommended for this project. He questioned if that recommendation is coming from Ms. Cahall and her staff, and if the answer is yes, he would like to get a summary of how the equipment they install last year is functioning to date? Ms. Caha11 explained the McKenna Falls project was a much larger construction project with Technical Systems Inc., being a subcontractor to the contractor to provide the telemetry and electronic components for that project. The McKenna Falls equipment has been in operation for approximately 1 1/2 years and has worked very well. The electrical components (remote telemetry units) were supplied through the McKenna Falls project and the AUTOCON brand was selected, therefore the City needs to make sure that any additional remote telemetry units purchased match that same brand or are compatible. Mr. Overson pointed out even though this proposal is under $100,000.00 it is broken down into 119 separate tasks, with each TAPE #1256 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes December 28, 1994 Page 6 of 14 #0774 task identified to the nearest penny for cost control and there is a 119 piece GANT chart showing start and completion date of every separate element. Having that kind of data available would have pleased former Councilman Tiny Collins. M/S/C/U(Overson/Winters) to approve the Professional Services Agreement with the Technical Systems Incorporated of Lynnwood, Washington, and authorize and direct the Mayor to execute the same subject to City Administrative Policies & Procedures. 7C - PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT - ALIVE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PROGRAM, #AB94-272 Using a State of Washington Department of Community Development Criminal Justice Funding Grant provided to the City of Bremerton, the YWCA ALIVE Program will provide 24-hour-a-day crisis intervention, safe shelter, legal advocacy, support groups, parenting classes, community education, and children's programming for women and their children who are victims of domestic violence in an effort to bring them out of crisis and into a healthier, more manageable lifestyle. Police Chief Paul Du Fresne introduced Captain Joe Hatfield, who would present any additional information, and several members of the YWCA, who would be available to answer any questions Council might have. Captain Joe Hatfield stated this proposal is a continuing effort of the Bremerton Police Department to support the A.L.I.V.E. program through the YWCA. The 1995 grant is basically the same amount of funding as the 1994 grant. He has nothing but positive things to say about YWCA administrators and A.L.I.V.E. shelter personnel that he and Sergeant Forbes dealt with during the grant review process. They emphasized to the YWCA that there is no guarantee in the funding programs and in turn the YWCA administration responded that they would provide the necessary quarterly reports that outline how those funds are spent. Linda Jovce, Executive Director of the YWCA, stated the City of Bremerton and most notably the Police Department has given the YWCA and A.L.I.V.E. programs tremendous support. The A.L.I.V.E. program houses over 500 women and children annually. Additionally, they have weekly support groups (4) that draws an average of 10 women and children. They also have built-in outreach services that works along with their Domestic Violence Program. Because of the funding they received it has made it possible to see many families live productive lives. Public comment - none. TAPE #1256 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes December 28, 1994 Page 7 of 14 #0949 Mr. Law commented that the fact this program is not a visible program points out the fact it is doing its job and many would like to see more programs as successful as this program. M/S/C/U(Montgomery) to approve this Professional Services Agreement and authorize the Mayor to sign. 7D - ODOR CONTROL PROJECT - AMENDMENT #1 TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH PARAMETRIX, FOR VALUE ENGINEERING SERVICES, #AB94-' 273 A Professional Services Agreement with Parametrix, Inc. for value engineering services was approved by City Council on August 24, 1994. The value engineering workshop focused on the Basis of Design Report. The workshop was successful in the validation of the overall design concept, suggestions, and recommendations to improve the design concept, and identification of cost saving concepts. The amendment to the Professional Services Agreement provides for a second value engineering/plan review workshop at the 65% plan development stage. This will consist of modification of the standard 5-day value engineering workshop. The amendment also provides for the option to use the value engineering team to review plans at the 90% to 100% plan development stage as required by the City. The lump sum fee for the plan review/value engineering workshop is $30,692 and the maximum amount for the 90% plan review is $6,000. Council action is required to approve the amendment to the Professional Services Agreement. Randy Witt, City Engineer, stated they concluded their first Value Engineering Workshop on this proposal on the Basis of Design Report ( or commonly known as Alternatives Analysis), which is not the traditional time to use value engineering. At this point, they are at the more traditional point to do value engineering, but will still not do it in the traditional fashion. What they found, after going through several of those processes, was that a lot of money was spent in preparing reports and doing presentations. It is now thought that a certain amount of informality can be done and by not having typed reports they used that money in savings and work and put it into an extra day of plan review work, which they believe will benefit both the project and Value Engineering Workshop. It is traditional that as much money is saved through a Value Engineering Workshop as what it costs to put it on. Public comment - none. Mr. Winters stated many people have asked him "what is the City doing about the odor control at the sewage treatment plant"? He TAPE #1256 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes Dece~lber 28, 1994 Page 8 of 14 #1160 stressed the fact that this issue will provide the opportunity for engineers to sit down and review the best possible solution to the odor problem. He questioned if this was just one phase of the solution? Mr. Witt stated this proposal would provide for a critique of everything the designers have done in a non- confrontational manner in order to make it a better project by working as a team rather than just having City staff review plans. Mr. Winters felt it was paramount that the press be advised that this project is being very carefully scrutinized and reviewed so that the odors can be eliminated at the sewage treatment site. Mr. Overson stated commonly value engineering takes care of providing the best design and sometimes there is a return on investment, such as the City's first Value Engineering Workshop. Mr. Witt stated he believed the City got its money back on the first workshop plus the fact it identifies elements that could have a greater impact on the project if they had not been identified earlier. M/S/C/U(Farr/Montgomery) to authorize and direct the Mayor to execute the attached Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with Parametrix, Inc. in the amount of $36,672 to provide value engineering and plan review services on the Wastewater Treatment Plant Odor Control Project. 7E - WASTEWATER TREATMENTPLANT ODOR CONTROL PROJECT -AMENDMENT #1 TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH R.W. BECK, #AB94-274 On May 4, 1994, the City Council approved the Professional Services Agreement with R.W. Beck to provide engineering services for the design odor control improvements and upgrades, and disinfection improvements at the City's Wastewater Treatment Plant. Amendment No. 1 addresses necessary tasks which are outside of the scope of work: (1) Odor baseline monitoring and performance testing at pump station KL-3 in the amount of $2,625.00; (2) Geotechnical investigations in the amount of $8,508.15; (3) Design of the pipe gallery in the amount of $38,524; and (4) Value engineering support in an amount not to exceed $6,000. The details of each task are in the attached amendment. Amendment No. 1 will increase the amount of the professional services agreement by $55,657.15 to a total of $1,228,570.15. Council action is required to approve the amendment. RandV Witt, City Engineer, stated the amendment can be broken into two issues: (1) on going work that has been done as part of the design process; (2) baseline monitoring work and geotechnical investigation work. Upcoming work would be the other category that would include pipe gallery work and the value engineering support. Pipe gallery work involves providing a pipe gallery on each side of the headworks. This is an area where a lot of pipes are located, TAPE #1256 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes December 28, 1994 Page 9 of 14 #1306 which makes it difficult to fix a broken pipe. This will eliminate such a situation by putting the pipes into a concrete "U' shaped channel mounted on the walls of a walk-in area. It was felt this was critical to the project and was included in the construction estimates that have been given to Council in the past, and now it is time to develop the design. Public comment - none. Mr. Overson asked if he understood correctly that the $6,000 value engineering support had nothing to do with the $6,000 at 90% value engineering costs that was previously discussed? Mr. Witt stated no,'both figures were submitted by two different consultants. Overson questioned if there is sufficient staffing and funding to handle the amendments? Mr. Witt stated yes. M/S/C/U(Overson/Farr) to authorize and direct the Mayor to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with R.W. Beck for work on the Wastewater Treatment Plant Odor Control project in the amount of $55,657.15, to a total agreement amount of $1,228,570.15. 7F -AMENDMENT #3 - PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN CITY OF BREMERTON AND PARAMETRIX, INC., #AB94-275 Professional Services Contract No. 3413 is for On-Call Engineering services including Chemical Injection Study, West Hills Comprehensive Utilities Plan, and Kitsap Lake Sewer Extension. The total contract amount is not to exceed $91,500. Amendment #3 would increase the not-to-exceed amount to $97,127. Amendment #3 is for additional services for the West Kitsap Lake Sewer Extension. These services include design work, drafting, and estimates necessary for relocation of the pump station and sewer line revisions. A summary of the West Kitsap Lake Sewer Extension portion of Contract No. 3413 is shown below: Original Contract (Preliminary Studies) Amendment #1 (Project Design) Amendment #2 (Grant Application, Boundary Survey, Evaluation of System Capacity TOTAL TO DATE Proposed Amendment #3 (Design Revisions) TOTAL $13,596 $30,000 $11,500 $55,096 $ 5,627 $60,723 Randy Witt, City Engineer, stated this is a piece of catch up work. The work performed was authorized 8-10 months ago to a more recent time when we were getting close to bidding the job. Staff should TAPE #1256 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes December 28, 1994 Page 10 of 14 have brought this item to Council sooner, however, when Parametrix, Inc., requested payment it was discovered the City had not caught the contract up to the authorized work. The work specifically covered consists of two primary things. one being relocating the pump station from the small sliver of City owned land to another location. As they got into the final phase of the project, there was discussion on different alternatives to not having a pump station and other miscellaneous work went outside the scope of the contract. Public comment - none. Mr.'Winters asked Mr. Witt if every possibility of using gravity flow had been ruled out? Mr. Witt stated he was not sure. When the original bids were opened 4-5 months ago and the bids were then rejected by the City Council, they again discussed looking into the possibility of gravity flow. Engineering supports the idea of getting rid of the pump station and did look at it earlier, but there were difficulties with easements and the people did not want the line in their yard because of construction and future maintenance work. Mr. Winters questioned if the decision is made to not build a pump station because gravity flow is possible, might Mr. Witt come back before Council with another redesign fee of $5- 6,000 and say we've designed it or will it be handled within the estimated cost? Mr. Witt stated if the decision is made to not build a pump station, he would probably go back to Parametrix, Inc., for redssign given availability of staff time. The offsetting of that is the savings of not having a pump, which would easily pay for the redssign. Mr. Winters questioned the cost of a pump station? Mr. Witt stated the cost would be in the $50,000 range. Mr. Law made an observation that it was an engineering decisions to go with a pump station and not gravity. He believes the users will begin to wonder if the City keeps zigzagging back and forth on their decision. Mr. Witt stated if there is a way to complete the project without a pump station, it will save the project money. Additionally, the City would not have on going maintenance of a pump station. Mr. Montgomery stated if the pump station is eliminated from the project, any money saved should be for the City's benefit and not to the property owners because the $300,000 contribution by the City is coming from all the ratepayers in the City. Mr. Witt suggested that the first step to making any kind of decision is to determine if the pump station can be eliminated from the project. Mr. Overson asked if Mr. Witt had a sense of when Council would get a response on that point? Mr. Witt stated he would make every TAPE #1256 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes December 28, 1994 Page 11 of 14 #1569 effort to get them a response within one week. M/S/C/U(Overson/Winters) to authorize and direct the Mayor to execute Amendment #3 to Contract No. 3413, Professional Services Agreement between the City of Bremerton and Parametrix, Inc. for $5,627. 7G - PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT - GRANTS WRITER, MEGAN KALSEN, #AB94-276 Attached is the contract for grants writer services for all City departments. An interview team comprised of the Mayor, Community Development Director, City Engineer, and Administrative Services Director selected Megan Kalsen from four applicants. Ms. Kalsen came highly recommended by her previous employers, the City of Phoenix and Indiana University. Ms. Kalsen will work an average over the contract term of 20 hours per week at the rate of $1,250 per month, plus expenses. The contract has the standard 30-day termination clause. Xathleen McCluskey, City Clerk, pointed out the term of the contract is to commence on January 1, 1995, not January 1, 1994. Also,'the contract is funded under the Director of Administrative Service's budget and the Utility, and she will be the contract manager. Ms. Kalsen will be tracking her time so that the various department can be billed as appropriate. Public comment - none. Mr. Overson stated he understood Ms. Kalsen had experience writing grants and questioned if she felt her experience adapts to what she will be doing for the City? Ms. Kalsen stated her experience includes over five years of auditing, program and project development, and leadership as an Internal Auditor for the City of Phoenix handling all municipal services. It also includes contract proposal and grant development over five years with Urban Mass Transportation State Department Of Transportation, Human Services, Federal, State and private industry funding groups. Therefore, she does not feel there needs to be any additional outstanding efforts other than her past experience. Mr. Farr noted Ms. Kalsen's experience has been in other states and assumed there would be a period of time needed for her to become familiar with the availability of Washington State grants. Ms. Kalsen stated the vehicles should still be there - the funding committees of the State legislature as well as the State budget and federal vehicles, such as the Federal Register are probably are already available within City, which provide a lot of funding opportunities. Also, the military presence in the City also TAPE #1256 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes December 28, 1994 Page 12 of 14 #1766 #1811 #1844 provides normal publications of upcoming project as well as funding opportunities. Mr. Dawkins questioned if she would miss the sunshine of Phoenix? Ms. Kalsen stated she is in Washington for the rain. Mr. Winters stated Jack Lefcoski should be pleased that the City is moving forward in filling this position, so the City can get. on with seeking grant funding and would probably give some assistance if asked. He extended a special "welcome to the City" to Ms. Kalsen. President Huff-Menees stated she was pleased to see Ms. Kalsen's extensive service in the public area, especially in the area of transportation. She too welcomed her to the City of Bremerton. M/S/C/U(Dawkins/Winters) to approve grants writer contract with Megan Kalsen for the period 1/01/95 to 12/31/95. 7H -AMENDED EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT - LEGISLATIVEASSISTANT, #AB94-277 Following a review of the City Council personnel positions, the City Council deemed that a more consistent process for awarding compensation and benefits for the position of Legislative Assistant should be developed. The attached contract implements the recommended changes. Public Comment - none. M/S/C/U(Montgomery/Law) to approve the amended Employment Contract for the position of Legislative Assistant. 7I - AMENDED EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT - LEGISLATIVE/INTERNAL AUDIT OFFICE ASSISTANT, #AB94-278 Following a review of the City Council personnel positions, the City Council deemed that a more consistent process for awarding compensation and benefits for the position of Legislative/Internal Audit Office Assistant should be developed.

Mtg. Minutes December 28, 1994 Page 13 of 14 #1917 Jack Lefcoski asked if the content of the ordinance is the same as that proposed by the Planning Commission? Kathleen McCluskeV, City Clerk, stated Mr. Lefcoski was correct and the ordinance approved on first reading is the same as that presented for second reading. Mr. Lefcoski stated he brought this issue before the Kitsap Lake Neighborhood Association and at that time there were no complaints and welcomes the action because it is such a great improvement over what the Burley mess use to be. M/S/C/U(Winters/Dawkins) to pass Ordinance No. 4497, amending the Official Zoning Map of the City of Bremerton for the West Monroe Street Annexation area located north of Werner Road,-west of Kean Street, and south of Monroe Street. 9A - ORDINANCE (FIRST READING) DECREASING THE UTILITY OCCUPATION TAX ON GARBAGE/REFUSE BUSINESS, #AB94-279 Pursuant to the 1995 budget passed by City Council, the utility occupation tax on garbage/refuse business is being decreased from 20.428% to 19% effective January 1, 1995. Public comment - none. Mr. Dawkins questioned if this has to do with the City's negotiations with the Brem-Air Disposal contract? Kathleen McCluskey, City Clerk, explained this is our City tax and does not affect out negotiations with the garbage company or their involvement with the State Utility Commission. During the 1995 budget process, Mayor Horton pledged to ramp that tax down annually at a minimum of 1% per year, maybe more depending on what the budget can handle. This action will amend the City's B&O Tax Ordinance to reflect the action taken when adopting the 1995 budget, which will cost the City in the range of $60-75,000 for that 1.5 percent. She emphasized this tax is on top of the garbage company's rate. #2039 M/S/C/U(Law/Overson) to approve ordinance, on first reading, relating to occupation tax for the garbage/refuse business, and amending Chapter 5.02 of the Bremerton Municipal Code.
