Coalition meeting. He was glad to see people participating in
government and believes that is the only way true democratic
government can work.
Mr. Dawkins reported the Bremerton Central Lions Club assisted
with the Vietnam War Memorial event. Many people who visited
the memorial brought flowers and many people made tracings of

Brown", which raised approximately $30,000 for the new Sports
Complex. Use of those funds are targeted for funding the
major scoreboard for the championship field.
Mrs. Hotton reported she also attended the War Memorial and
found it to be a moving event. For many people it was a
difficult but healing event. She extended a special "thanks"
to all the local groups who assisted with the War Memorial
display. This date she attended the Bremerton Central Lions
Club meeting.
PUBLIC RECOGNITION
Mayor Louis Mentor reported he also attended the War Memorial
event. Today, he met with the Puget Sound Naval Base
Association and heard a report from their lobbyist in
Washington, D.C., Dick Krizer, relating to defense issues.
This date, he attended the YWCA luncheon where volunteers were
recognized for their work with women involved in domestic
violence. On Friday, he attended a going away party for
Superior Court Judge Terrance Hanley, who is retiring from the
Bench and is being replaced by Judge L. Costsilo. He also
attended the Red Brown Foundation Auction Saturday evening.
He noted Red Brown as one of the premier donors of money and
team sponsors in our community for many years. During the
auction he "bought a baseball team", who will be spending one
full day doing some kind of work for the City. On Sunday, he
attended the Knights Of Coleus fund raising Spaghetti
Dinner. On Tuesday evening, he attended the Navy Concert held
at the Roxy Theater, which was well attended.
Mayor Mentor announced Brem-Air Disposal Inc. has offered to

TAPE #1067
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes

support for the nurses in their efforts to get back to
negotiations with Hospital Management. The nurses do not want
to strike, which would adversely affect the community. About
two years ago, effort was made to attract nurses to Kitsap
County and now the proposed contract has a lot of take-a-ways
that would once again drive them to find employment in areas
outside of the County.
Councilman Tiny Collins left the Council Chambers at 6:00
P.M.
6A - CONTRACT FOR BANKING SERVICE8 - SEATTLE FIRST NATIONAL
BANK, #AB92-261
The Treasurer's Office has conducted an RFP process for
banking services as documented on the attached exhibits. Four
responses to the RFP were received and reviewed. The
recommendation of staff is for the award of the contract for
banking services to Seattle First National Bank as presented
in their proposal. This proposal is considered to represent
the best overall value to the City.
Rich Hanna, City Treasurer, stated the current banking
contract dates from October 1986, which was originally a three
year contract that was extended for three additional years.
This contract expired on September 30 and the City is on a
current month-to-month extension of a six year old contract.
The recently expired contract reflected no change in the price
of services when originally negotiated in 1986. The proposed
contract would entail costs of $1,450 per month, which
represents roughly 10% increase in fees over the current
contract. The added cost is reflected in the establishment of
use of Bank Cards for making payments of monies due in the
Parks Department and Municipal Court Department; and some
technical services that would be visible only to his
department in terms of greater use of the electronic capacity
of banks under current technology than in the past. It is the
recommendation of staff to contract with Seattle First
National Bank despite the fact they were not the lowest bidder
on the requested services. Reasons for that include: (1) cost
of conversion if bank services were changed from one bank to
another; (2) we would have to cultivate a new relationship
with the corporate officers of another bank and abandon what
has been gained over a six year process of having done
business with Seafirst. He emphasized the advantage of having
Seafirst's corporate offices located in downtown Seattle,
allowing an easy commute for City staff to access their
offices or they to City offices. The low bidder is located
out-of-state and Mr. Hanna believed trying to maintain a
#0952
TAPE #1067
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
October 28, 1992
Page 5 of 14
relationship under that circumstance would be very difficult.
Mr. Waibel questioned if the City also did a review of the
Community Reinvestment Act positions of the four banks? Mr.
Hanna stated yes, they did request the current CRA reports or
audit results. They received a less than clear picture due to
several of the responding banks recently being involved in
mergers and acquisitions. Seafirst Bank does have a "passing
grade" in terms of their CRA audits.
Mr. Colvin questioned if any local banks, such as National
Bank of Bremerton, could provide the same kind of service as
Seafirst Bank? Mr. Hanna stated the National Bank of
Bremerton did not respond to the RFP. Mr. Colvin questioned
the kind of Bank Cards previously mentioned by Mr. Hanna? Mr.
Hanna stated the Bank Cards are Visa and Mastercard only.
Public comment - none.
Mr. Johnson noted the quality of the RFP's and the fact that
all of the responding banks have branches in the City. He
emphasized the City has receivedquality service from Seafirst
and felt it deserved some type of a long-term relationship.
He also noted Seafirst's Senior Vice President for Municipal
Banking Services met with the Fiscal and Budget Committee
earlier this summer. At that meeting questions were raised
over CRA provisions and the fact that Seafirst was more of a
regional CRAneeds assessment and that Bremerton's needs were
in fact different than what was reflected. The Senior Vice
President's comments indicated he was very anxious to work
with the City of Bremerton and do a financial needs
assessment.
M/S/C/U(Johnson/Colvin) motion to authorize the Mayor to sign
the contract for banking services to Seattle First National
Bank for banking services as proposed.
6B - PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT WITH PARAMETRIX, INC. TO
PROVIDE ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO 8URFACE WATER
CONVEYANCE SYSTEM, #AB92-262
The Utility, pursuant to the Surface Water Treatment Rule of
the Federal Drinking Water Act, has a requirement to upgrade
its surface water conveyance system between Gorst and
Reservoir No. 4 in order to provide sufficient treatment prior
to entry into distribution system.
The required improvements were set forth in the City of
Bremerton Water Supply Filtration Decision Report and the
McKenna Falls Improvements Pre-design Report.
!
TAPE #1067
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes

Page 6 of 14
The existing conveyance system consists of two 24-inch
combined surface water and groundwater transmission mains with
service connections.
The Utility contemplates replacement of one of the existing
24-inch transmission mains located along SR#3 between Gorst
and Reservoir No. 4 with a new 36-inch main. The proposed
improvements will increase the water main capacity and provide
for separation of the surface water and groundwater systems
and will eliminate the service connections associated with the
surface water supply.
Professional services include engineering design, construction
management, and miscellaneous engineering services. The
estimated costs of these professional services are as noted
below:

~ileen ~itz stated Councilman Neville and she served on the
committee interviewing the applicants for this contract and in
the absence of Mr. Duffy and his staff, who are attending a
seminar, she would provide a brief presentation on this
proposal.
Since 1988, the Water Utility invested approximately 5 million
dollars to meet existing regulatory requirements of the
Surface Water Treatment Rule of the Safe Drinking Water Act
and for the monitoring programs. One of the requirements of
this Act is the need for separation of surface water from
ground water. A new water main (36 inches main), will be
installed along the highway between Gorst up to the Sherman
Heights area where it will go under the highway and proceed
onto Reservoir No. 4. This 36 inch main will be replacing one
of the 24 inch mains and will allow for sufficient contact
time for the disinfection of the surface water. The work will
take place outside the roadway and willrun along the railroad
right-of-way. It may impede traffic only due to people
slowing down to look at construction activity.
Four companies were interviewed and all were considered to be
very qualified. The selection committee felt Parametrix Inc.,
had two excellent advantages over the other firms: (1) already

very familiar with the City's water system; (2) they have an
office located in and fully staffed in the City.
Mr. Overson stated he had questioned Mr. Duffy as to what
alternatives were reviewed and what costs were associated with
those alternatives and why were they not selected. Mr.
Duffy's analysis of the situation was that the primaryproblem
-is that area is very difficult to work in because of the
significant amount of base rock. Mr. Overson also raised the
question as to what provisions have been made through this and
the other comprehensive Utility plans to insure continuous
supply of water in case of emergency situations, such as
earthquakes, etc. Mr. Duffy's response was that he had
thoroughly reviewed that scenario and other alternative
systems would be available. Mr. Overson emphasized this
proposal appears to be well thought out and a well engineered
program, which he felt was supportable.
Public comment - none.
M/S/C/U(Fitz/Dawkins) to approve the Professional Services
Agreement with Parametrix, Inc. to provide engineering
services for improvements to the Utility's surface water
conveyance system and authorize the Mayor to execute the same,
subject to City Administrative Policies and Procedures.
6C - ANIMAL CONTROL CONTRACT WITH PSNS, #AB92-263
Attached is a proposed contract with PSNS for animal control
services in the amount of $9,960 for one year. This is the
same amount as last year as the demands have not increased.
Mr. Waibel stated the demands of service would probably stay
the same, however, the City's labor cost have increased. He
questioned why was there not an adjustment to take in those
costs? Kathleen McCluskev, City Clerk, stated it was the
feeling of the Animal Control personnel that they could not
justify raising the cost of service.
Mr. Overson assured Council that this item was reviewed by the
Operations Committee.
Public comment - none.

Council recently approved in-house public defender services
i

for conflict and overage cases. The in-house cost full time
would be approximately $83,900. The current overage and
conflict cost is approximately $103,000. Until the primary
contract terminates (12/31/93) we need somewhat less than a
full time attorney but more than half time. I have negotiated
a contract with David Rovang for the services through12/31/93
in the amount of $57,600 annually. This provides us with the
interim level of services needed until we go in-house in 1/94.
Kathleen McCluskey, City Clerk, explained this item was
reviewed by Fiscal and Budget Committee and Operations
Committee this week. Also, the City Attorney did prepare and
approve the contract, however, his signature was missing from
the Agenda Bill cover sheet. Currently, the primary
contractor is charging $148.00 per case for the overage and
conflict attorney is at $200.00. This contract, if assigned
the full maximum of 50 case per month, works out to
approximately $96.00 per case. This is an interim step to
immediately start savings funds on the Public Defender
contract that has escalated tremendously over the last year.
President Hotton questioned what was the possibility, toward
the end of 1993, of starting to bring the operation in-house
in a phased fashion? If that is the case, this contract
terminates on the 31st of December, so will the City need Mr.
Rovang's services for that entire length of time? Ms.
McCluskey stated because the case load is continuous, she felt
the City would want the new in-house attorney to start up with
a fresh case load. If Mr. Rovang is phased out early, the
case load will be higher that much sooner. She did anticipate
bringing the new Public Defender Attorney on board before
January 1. President Hotton questioned should the City give
itself that option? Ms. McCluskev stated the difficulty with
that option was Mr. Rovang based taking this contract on and
hiring an assistant to take on the responsibility based on a
one year or 14 month contract.
Mr. Overson stated the Operations Committee did delve into
this proposal and it appears Mr. Rovang has proven himself to
be a quality professional and the City would be getting a
bargain with this contract.
Public comment - none
Mr. Dawkins questioned if the case load suddenly increased,
would the City have to contract out with another attorney?
Ms. McCluske~ stated the contract was written that if there is
a huge increase in cases it would be opened up for
renegotiations. This was discussed with Mr. Rovang and he
indicated if such an increase did happen, he is willing to
#1514
TAPE #1067
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
October 28, 1992
Page 9 of 14
take the additional cases. If the case load exceeds 50 cases
for three consecutive months, the contract would be reopened
for discussion. The City would either renegotiate with Mr.
Rovang to take on the higher case load or immediately go to
the in-house Public Defender service. Leaving it open for
renegotiations gives the City more options.

for Public Defender services.
7A - ORDINANCE (FIRST READING) LEVYING PROPERTY TAXES FOR
COLLECTION IN 1993, #AB92-265
State law requires that the City levy property taxes through
passage of an ordinance. Figures in the attached ordinance
are based on the preliminary assessment roll. They will be
adjusted upon acceptance of the final assessment roll by the
County.
Rich Hanna, City Treasurer, stated this years assessed
valuation for the City of Bremerton has increased
significantly to not quite 1.1 billion dollars - representing
a 12% increase in City wide total assess valuation for 1992.
Based on that, the maintenance and operation levy,as proposed
in the subject ordinance, will be levied at what is commonly
referred to as 106 levy lid. The provisions of that State
Statute limits the growth in the City's property tax revenue
to not greater than 6% per year, exclusive of new
constructionl Because the City's overall assessed value grew
at a rate greater than 6%, this will permit a levy rate 17
cents per thousand lower than that levied in 1992, which
represents roughly 5% reduction in the levy rate. The
Emergency Services (EMS) Levy is approved by the voters every
six years, at 25 cents per thousand, and pursuant to the
language in the ballot measure so that is simply direct
function of the growth in the assessed value. The City's
revenue in this case will grow by approximately 12%. The
other two levies are Excess Property Tax levies approved by
the citizens to support two Fire Bond issues and the Library
Bond issue. In this case, by approving the ballot measure,
the voters authorize the City to levy taxes in an amount as
became necessary from time-to-time to meet the debt service
requirements on those respective bond issues. Therefore,
those are strictly functions of the debt service requirements
of bond issues rather than growth in the assessed value or
those factors.
Mr. Johnson questioned the value of new construction exempted
from the 106 lid? Mr. Hanna stated the order of magnitude is
$30 million dollars.

M/S/C/U(Waibel/Fitz) to approve Ordinance, on first reading,
levying Municipal Taxes against all the taxable property
within the City limits of Bremerton for the year 1992 and
approving the assessment roll made by the Assessor of Kitsap
county, therefore to be collected in the year 1993.
7B - ORDINANCE NO. 4393 (EMERGENCY READING) AUTHORIZING THE
ISSUANCE OF WATER/SEWER REVENUE BONDS, #AB92-266
The proposed ordinance will authorize the City to refund its
1985 water/sewer revenue bonds, realizing a savings on behalf
of the rate payers in excess of $500,000. Also, the bond
issue will provide $3 million of new financing which will
allow additional improvements to be made to the utility
systems.
Rich Hanna, City Treasurer, noted rate payers will realize a
savings on the refinancing portion of this transaction in
excess of $500,000, which is in a net present value
calculation over the next nine years and provides a savings of
approximately 1.1 million dollars. Bond Counsel took the bond
issue as originally structured to market on Tuesday, however,
he found the market not to be favorable, which involved some
desperate scrambling on the parts of all parties. He thanked
Mr. Mack and Mr. King for their efforts on the City's behalf
in turning around a dramatic revision to a very complex issue
on an extremely tight timeline.
There are two parts to the bond issue: (1) refinancing; (2)
new money portion. As originally contemplated, that would
have all been done at a single closing, however, the market
conditions were such that a different tact needed to be taken
in bringing this issue to market. The result of that is the
proposed Ordinance that allows a single bond issue broken into
two separate components: (A) being the refinancing portion and
(B) new money portion... three million dollars of additional
capital. Component (B) will be closed in January 1993.
An additional significant change is the provision for
substituting a Surety Instrument for the bond reserve funds,
which under the provisions of the 1985 Revenue Bond Ordinance
have been a Cash Reserve held by the City. Given current
conditions, it is the opinion of the underwriter and staff
that this is in the best interest of the rate payers, allowing
the City to pay a fix dollar amount to provide a Surety
Instrument in lieu of that debt service reserve. This frees
up monies currently restricted to the bond Reserve to be used
in two parts: (1) helping to fund the Escrow Account that
TAPE #1067
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
October 28, 1992
Page 11 of 14
provides the refinancing of the outstanding Bond; (2)
approximately $700,000 will be freed up to be used for capital
improvements to the City's water and wastewater system.
Dick King, Senior Vice President of Shearson Lehman Brothers,
explained they are the underwriter of this issue. He also
apologized for providing a volume of information at the last
minute. He referenced a document addressing GEO Bond Buyer
Index, which reflected what tax exempt rates have been over
the past 12 years. He pointed out currently the rate is at
historical lows and that is why the City is able to refinance
its 1985 bonds. The total debt service savings is
approximately 1.1 million dollars and the City will receive
those fund more or less evenly over the next eight years,
approximately $290,000 per year. The net present value of
those savings exceed 1/2 million dollars, which amounts to
sizeable savings. In his industry, they tend to evaluate the
benefits of an advance refunding issue like this by comparing
the net present value savings to the total principal amount of
the issue and if we can achieve 3-4% net present value savings
that is generally a good threshold to proceed with the
transaction. In the City's case, they have achieved debt
service savings of 5.38%.
A Bond Purchase Contract was prepared and is a legal contract
between his firm and the City of Bremerton. Within the
Ordinance the City Treasurer is authorized to execute that
contract.
George Mack, Bond Counsel from Foster Pepper & Sheffleman,
stated the ordinance he handed out to Council is quite similar
to the one in the Agenda Packet, but there are changes that
were made during the marketing. What they have done and what
is reflected in the handed out ordinance as opposed to what
was in the earlier ordinance is the bond issue was split into
Series A - refunding bonds ($9,990,000) and Series B bonds-
new money ($3,000,000). Everything about the two series is
the same except for the maturity schedule and interest rates
and the contemplated timeline. The date of the bonds, the two
series and interest payment dates, principal payment dates are
identical. Another major change that occurred was when the
City Council received the original draft of the ordinance it
did not contemplate that there would be bond insurance,
insuring the payment of principal and interest over the course
of the bonds nor did it contemplate that there would be a
"reserve account instrument", which would replace the money
the City now has ($2,000,000 +) in the Bond Reserve Account.
In order to obtain these two policies from the Bond insurer,
it was necessary to incorporate within the bond ordinance
TAPE #1067
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
October 28, 1992
Page 12 of 14
extensive language basically describing the procedures in
which the bond insurance policy and reserve policy are
implemented in case they are needed. That wording encompasses
three or more complete sections and references changes
throughout the bond ordinance. Those are consistent with the
present offer to purchase the bonds and consistent with the
needs of marketing so the bonds could be marketed at rates
that would enable the savings described. One other
consequence of splitting the bonds is that under the Federal
Income Tax Code if the City does not issue tax exempt
obligations in an amount more than $10,000,000 in a calendar
year, you are considered a small issuer and banks and other
financial institutions may invest in those obligations without
suffering the consequences of not being able to deduct the
interest on their borrowing to enable them to invest in the
City's. That, as he understands it in today's market, is
worth a quarter of a percent (more/less) in what the City
pays. Part of the effort to make these bonds more attractive,
was the splitting of the issue, allowing the Series B Bonds to
be delivered, which IRS considers to be the issue date, next
calendar year - January 1993, so the City does have an under
$10,000,000 issue in 1992 as well as 1993, so both issues will
be "bank qualified" and a declaration stating such has been
added to the ordinance.
With respect to the approval of the Bond Purchase Contract,
Section 23 of the ordinance approves the contract so there is
not the need to have two motions.
Mr. Mack made the following correction/additions:
(1) Page 1 of the ordinance... dollar amount of the Series A
Bond is $9,990,000.
(2) Section: "Permitted Investments" (pages 7/8/9) consists
of a definition of the types of investments the City can make
in the Reserve Account. This was imposed by the Bond Insurer
in the 1985 bonds and since some of those remain outstanding,
the definition must remain in the document even though there
are no investments in the Reserve Account. Moody's have
asked, in the bond rating, to insert some language in the
first single spaced paragraph (page 8), second line after the
word " ..... securities described in (1], themselves which
shall .... ". All that means is to reference back to previous
page.
(3) Correction of a typographical error (page 16) Paragraph
A, next to last line...following the word "full, 1/12 of the
next ensuing twelve .... ".
#3.005

TAPE #1067
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
October 28, 1992
Page 13 of 14
(4) Last paragraph, fourth line should read: " ....... not
later than five years from the date of investment .... ". In
order for Moody to give the City the rating received, they
requested that the City reduce the maturity of the investment
of the bond fund to no later than five years. This
strengthens the requirements in the Bond Fund and did not
constitute an impairment against current bond owners and was
recommended by Shearson and Moody.
(5) Starting on page 19-to - 22, inclusion of
provisions/requirements of the Bond Insurer for the Reserve
Account. At the first single spaced paragraph, first line the
word "fund" should be deleted and read as follows: "The use,
in the future, of any Reserve Account Instrument not
furnished...".
(6) Insertion of a new Page 21.
(7) On page 25, Section 14 - line 10 should read:
"$1,571,470.87 in the Reserve Account..."
Mr. Mack emphasized he had examined the purchase contract and
did not see any significantly difference from what others use
and what is used in the trade at the present time.
The ordinance makes reference to a Refunding Trust Contract
relatively similar to what was entered into in 1985 on the
City's refunding bonds contract between the City and the bank.
which agrees to hold the refunding bond proceeds and pay out
on the 1985 bonds until 1995 when all of them are called.
This is necessary in order to accomplish the refunding lockup
on proceeds and investments.
Public comment - none.
