Council members present: Lon Overson, Richard Neville, Eileen Fitz, C. R. "Tiny" Collins, Morrie Dawkins, A1 Colvin, Russ Johnson and Hank Waibel. Also present were City Attorney Ian Sievers and Deputy City Clerk Gil Johnson. The meeting opened with the Pledge of Allegiance led by Council President Horton and Invocation given by Councilman A1 Colvin. President Horton announced the Bremerton Sun article, this date, was incorrect in its news article stating the City Council would act on an Agenda Item relating to starting the Sports Complex project. CONSENT AGENDA A. Minutes of Meeting - September 23, 1992 #AB92-248 M/S/C/U(Waibel/Dawkins) presented. to approve Consent Agenda as CLAIMS/WARRANT REGISTERS Vouchers audited and certified by the auditing officer as required by RCW 42.24.080, and those expense reimbursement claims certified as required by RCW 42.24.090, have been recorded on a listing that had been made available to the council. M/S/C/U(Colvin/Neville) on October 7, 1992, the Council does approve for payment those vouchers included and further described as follows: 157843, 157844, 157845, 175850 through 157983 in the total amount of $365,681.57; and Regular Payroll for the period ending September 30, 1992, in the amount of $594,004.40. COUNCIL MEMBER REPORTS Mr. Overson reported he attended the Kitsap Regional Planning Council meeting today where they spent hours validating that they are still doing business. Much of the work at that meeting had to do with budgets. TAPE #1063 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes October 7, 1992 Page 2 of 14 Mr. Waibel reported City Council received a "State Of Washington Attorney General's Opinion" in response to the following questioned posed by Councilman A1 Colvin: "Is it necessary, under State law, for City Council to pass a Resolution directing the County Auditor to place on the ballot a City Charter Amendment proposed by the electors of the City". The answer to this questions is - NO. He noted a number of City Council members believed that was the proper process and not the process required by the County Auditor. Even though there were a number of Editorials at the time, Council was in support of a more Democratic process for the citizens of the City. President Hotton noted that information should be forwarded to the County Auditor. Ian Sievers, City Attorney, stated a copy had already been forwarded to the County Auditor and Prosecuting Attorney's Office. President Hotton questioned if the County agreed with such an opinion? Mr. Sievers stated he had not received a response back, however, if they don't agree he would pursue the issue in Superior Court. Mr. Colvin stated his reason for requesting the Attorney General's opinion was the fact that he did not believe any initiative that was put forth by the citizens should be jeopardized by the influence of the City Council. That was his reason for voting against the Council having anything to do with processing such an item through to the County. He believed citizens have the right to place any initiative they want on the Ballot. Mr. Collins stated in reference to the Attorney General's opinion, he believed it had to do with "any general election", and does not mean a "special election" for which Council has to appropriate money in order to have an election. Mr. Slevers stated the Attorney General's opinion seemed to move very quickly over that subject but at least it does apply to years when it is a general election for cities - certainly not a Resolution required. The last incident was at the time of a general election and in the City's view a Resolution was not required. The opinion did not address if it was an off-year or a general City election year. He believed the statutes would require a prior Resolution to have it during a State General Election year rather than just continue it to the City's General Election year. That issue will be clarified with the County Prosecutor. Mr. Collins stated what the County Prosecutor based his opinion on was the City's election was a special election and not a General Election. Mr. Sievers stated that was correct, their opinion was that every time a Charter amendment or proposition was placed on the ballot it was a special election since it was not a regular #0274 TAPE #1063 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes October 7, 1992 Page 3 of 14 scheduled City election. Mrs. Hotton announced on Saturday, October 17, from 9:00AMto 4:00 P.M., the 20th Annual Senior Fair will be held at Sheridan Park Recreation Center on Lebo Blvd. She attended the Kitsap Regional Council meeting this date and during the Transit meeting there was discussion on Food Fare '92, which is an annual holiday food drive event sponsored by Kitsap Transit. This year's event will run for three weeks - December 1 through December 19. Council previously approved the formation of an Ad Hoc Committee to look at government structure of the City and its Charter. This group met on September 28 and have asked that Council amend the Resolution so that in lieu of verbatim taped minutes they would like the latitude to provide written minutes. M/S/C(Johnson/Colvin) that the City Council amend the AD Hoc Committee Resolution to allow the Committee to keep summary written minutes in stead of verbatim tapes. Vote on motion: In Favor: Abstain: Fitz, Collins, Dawkins, Colvin, Johnson, Overson, Neville, Horton Waibel Mr. Johnson announced this is Recycling Week in the State of Washington and within the City of Bremerton there are lots of people and organizations who have done super things this year and over past years to promote recycling. He emphasized the significant contributions by local organizations in their newspaper recycling programs. There are also some private citizens living within the City of Bremerton, who have gone far and above the norm of what is expected in their commitment to recycling. He presented the following individuals with Certificates of Appreciation from the Bremerton City Council for their persevering effort and dedication in promoting recycling: Tim Wise; City employee Tom Baker; Harry Wilson; and, Jeff West of Peninsula Recycling. Jeff West stated he would accept the Certificate only on behalf of everyone associated with Peninsula Recycling. It is a team effort to move the amount of material that they do and the commitment for recycling by his employer. Mr. Johnson announced some new programs coming on line this year are yard waste pickup and curb side recycling for most of the major commodities of recycables. PUBLIC RECOGNITION Mayor Louis Mentor reported he was one of about 3,000 people attending Kitsap Party on October 3, which was a great success. He referenced a newspaper article about a Bremerton TAPE #1063 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes October 7, 1992 Page 4 of 14 car theft victim, he wished to apologize to that person for her having to deal with rude people. He emphasized the City's Parking Regulators are not police officers and do not have knowledge of stolen vehicles. After talking with the reporter who wrote the car theft news article, he concluded that he had been misquoted. Mayor Mentor read the following Proclamations: (1) Proclaiming October 12, 1992, KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS QUINCENTENNIAL CELEBRATION AND OBSERVATION OF THE 500TH ANNIVERSARY OF COLUMBUS'S FIRST VOYAGE ACROSS THE OCEAN SEA, accepted by Henry Defore. (2) Proclaiming October 19, 1992, as DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH IN THE CITY OF BREMERTON. (3) Proclaiming October 3-11, 1992, as RECYCLEWEEK, accepted by Harry Wilson GordV Byrd, 3739"G" Apt. B, reported he has been attending a class on AIDS. As of this date, he has collected $16,925.28 for his shelter for the homeless. Ed Pietras, Quincentennial Chairman for the Knights Of Columbus, announced the Knights Of Columbus will hold a celebration October 12, 11:00 AM, at the waterfront park to dedicate and bless their granite block and its installation on the boardwalk. Glenn Jarstad, 2823 Hefner, stated he was pleased with recent Council action to annex the "Hazelwood" area into the City. His family has paid taxes on undeveloped property in that general area and he attended all the planning meetings held and complimented Bremerton Planning Department staff for a job well done at those meetings. He believes this action is a "right move" and a great deal of the future of Bremerton will be in development out to the west. He felt it was very unfair of County residents to launch criticism over annexation issues. He noted more and more people are finding they do want to incorporate into cities, thereby having a better choice on what kind of rules, ordinances and regulations they live under. The City of Bremerton, in the past, has been handicapped many times by isolated groups that have been encouraged in many ways by County spokesmen. He believes that geographical area of delivery and government services is a mandate. He strongly supported not doing away with the 75% property valuation process for annexation. If 75% of property owners in an area want to come into the City, they should have that right. He stressed the excellent City emergency rescue services that would be close by the annexation area and the TAPE #1063 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes October 7, 1992 Page 5 of 14 fact they would provide a much faster service than those coming from Gorst. Bernie Wa1~billig stated it appears he is not the "lone soldier" any more and knew there had to be more people in the community with complaints against the Bremerton Police Department. He referenced Ms. Peterson's article in the newspaper regarding the theft of her vehicle. On August 19 Police Chief McNeal stated that he had called Child Protective Service (CPS) in regards to Mr. Waldbillig's rental situation and they stated they had no record of him calling. Since that statement, he has researched to find out what happened because he knew he had made that call. He found one thing, CPS and Crisis Clinic keep very good records of every phone call that is made. They not only documented both his phone calls of August 7 (time, date, conversation), but they also have Chief McNeal's call documented (time, date, conversation). Chief McNeal was told of Mr. Waldbillig's phone calls and the nature of those calls. Mr. Waldbillig would not call the Police Chief a liar but he would say he was not being honest with the City Council or the public. He talked with Ms. Peterson about her stolen car incident and one of her statements was "when she hired on for Kitsap County they instructed her to answer the phone "how may I serve you" because she was in that position to serve the public". It was his opinion that the City does not understand who they are to serve. He challenged the City Council, Mayor, Police Chief and City employees to go home tonight and repeat several times "how may I serve you", and to think of what it means. He emphasized he and Ms. Peterson were not served, they were serviced. 6A - INFORMATION ITEM: BREMERTON-GORST CONNECTOR ROAD PROJECT UPDATE, #AB92-224 Jeff Peacock, Parametric, Inc., stated his purpose at this time is to give a briefing on the Bremerton-Gorst Transportation Improvement Board project and a short status report on their progress. They have reviewed the alternatives presented to Council during their workshop with the Citizen Advisory Committee. The Technical Committee and the Project Steering Committee gave consensus that the set of alternatives they have chosen for further study are the right set of alternatives and those alternatives that have been screened out do not need to be resurrected any more. They received a consensus from the Technical Committee and Project Steering Committee to "nail down" the southern terminus of the project. The project will be started at the south end at the Gorst railroad bridge and developing alternatives for a two lane facility or expanding the existing TAPE #1063 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes October 7, 1992 Page 6 of 14 facility to Hwy 3 where it turns north or Hwy 3/304 interchange. The reason that selection was made was because the questions of the issues associated with going through or across Gorst Bay were many and unanswered relating to the growth management arena regarding urban growth boundaries, the South Kitsap Rural Design study, the County Transportation Plan. So, the County, working with the other agencies, will try to identify the route south of Gorst and the ultimate solution. The next step will be to analyze the alternatives in great detail from an environmental prospective. The extent of effort will be about 10% engineering and 90% environmental, which will include the natural and built-in environment analysis of each of the alternatives. The Committees are meeting on a monthly basis and it is hoped, over the course of several months, to winnow down to the final preferred alternative as it moves into the scoping process for the Environmental Impact Statement. Mr. Overson requested an explanation of the alternative charts. Mr. Peacock stated they have concentrated their display graphics to those sections within the City limits. Three alternatives made it through the screening process and are fairly similar to each other. All alternative routes use existing Highway 304 in the vicinity of the PSNS Farrigut Gate and in one form or another traverse down across Wycoff and on to Burwell or 6Th Street. Currently, it is not clear where the traffic will traverse from one road to another and they are looking for input on that issue by the Citizens Advisory Committee and other citizens through community meetings in that neighborhood to help determine the best location of that road. Another alternative begins very similar, the only difference is the use of Callow Avenue rather than Wycoff for approximately 11/2 blocks. He pointed out an area between Wycoff and Callow Avenue that is not to be disturbed due to its use as future expansion for Kitsap Transit. This alternative works with either Burwell (2-lanes in each direction) or a Burwell-6Th Street one-way coupling). Another alternative comes from existing Cambrian and traverses down to Wycoff to 6Th Street for all east and west travel (not a lot of changes to existing 6Th Street facility except some channelization at key intersections). He noted all alternatives tie into a one-way coupling concept, which has been in the City's plans for quite some time. Within two weeks a meeting will be held with the Marine Division of the Department Of Transportation to determine exactly where their City area should stop adjacent to the TAPE #1063 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes October 7, 1992 Page 7 of 14 Ferry Terminal versus what they are currently studying in order to make sure coordination takes place. The last alternative is the single alternative that make it through screening that uses the Loxie Egan Interchange, existing Loxie Egan Boulevard and Arsenal-Rodgers-Patten route to be constructed down to Wycoff and tie into either Burwell or 6TH Street. Mr. Colvin questioned if there was a place where citizens could view the charts showing the alternative routes? Mr. Peacock stated currently their office, located at 500 Kitsap, has an open door policy and would welcome anyone interested in viewing the charts. President Hotton noted the Kitsap Regional Library offered display space for public use. 7A - BUDGET ADJUSTMENTTO PROVIDE FOR DEMOLITION OF BREMERTON L~MBER STRUCTURE, #AB92-249 This budget adjustment will provide expenditure authority necessary to carry out the demolition of the structures at the Bremerton Lumber site. This demolition will increase the value of the property as well as its earning capacity and will reduce the City's liability exposure. Mr. Johnson suggested Items 7A and 8A be presented at the same time because they are inter-related. Rich Hanna, City Treasurer, stated both Item 7A and 8A have been reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Commission as is directed by the Ordinance that created the Roosevelt Capital Asset Fund. Both the Parks Commission and staff are in agreement that there are a number of benefits to the City by pursuing the demolition of the structures at this point in time. The demolition would eliminate a vacant, substandard building and the attendant liabilities and the aesthetic problems that those buildings present to the waterfront and boardwalk. From a financial standpoint, it would create approximately 30 additional parking spaces in the existing configuration which will generate approximately $2,400 revenue per month above the current income stream that is produced by the property. In the long-term context, it is believed demolition of the buildings would be a significant enhancement to the value of the property and would over come a hurdle between the property's present use and its ultimate redevelopment to higher and better use than surface parking. Asbestos removal has been and will be carried out by a licensed contractor and the demolition of the structures will be carried out by the City's Street Department. Mr. Johnson explained as Fiscal and Budget Committee Chair he TAPE #1063 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes October 7, 1992 Page 8 of 14 signed off on the Agenda Items in order to get them on the Agenda. The Committee, as a whole, did not meet on this issue, therefore, there was no recommendation from that group. President Hotton emphasized both items had been before the Parks and Recreation Commission and concurred with both items as presented. Public comment - none. Mr. Johnson emphasized this proposal goes along with previous plans to get rid of eyesore and enhance the value of the property, which will then benefit the Parks system and ultimately provide the replacement of Roosevelt Field and more. Mr. Neville stated it was his understanding there were some funds left in the Roosevelt Capital Asset fund and questioned if those funds plus the $55,000 would be needed for this .project? Mr. Hanna stated the $55,000 figure is what they hope is an absolute worse case scenario for carrying out the entire demolition. The reason this is being coupled with an inter-fund loan is due to the fact the City took possession of the property and parking concession on August 1, which at this point was not enough time to generate the needed resources to cover the cost of this proposal. President Horton questioned if Mr. Hanna anticipated using some of the cash from the fund and the rest from the inter-fund loan? Mr. Hanna stated at the time this proposal was drafted, it was not know what the income stream would be from the parking concession or what other financial demands might be placed on the Roosevelt Field Capital Asset Fund. Since that time, a process has been set in motion for a Marketing Study that will place a financial demand on the fund as well as costs associated with closing the property transaction. For that reason, it was determined it was best to rely on a borrowing for the entire amount of the contract. Mr. Colvin questioned if spending $55,000 provided a ready made parking lot? Mr. Hanna stated as it was explained to him by the Engineering Department, what they contemplating can be accomplished for that figure would be: (1) demolition of the structures to include the removal of footings, slabs, etc., (2) allow for a nominal amount of landscaping and berms where there are great grade level differentials along the alley on the west side of the property and along Second Street on the northern boundary. Mr. Overson questioned if Mr. Hanna was saying the City was knowingly developing a "dirt bag" parking lot? Mr. Hanna #1805 TAPE #1063 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes October 7, 1992 Page 9 of 14 stated no, the site would be developed into a paved parking area with landscaping. Mr. Oversonquestioned if the concrete slab would remain? Mr. Hanna explained all of the existing concrete would be removed. Mr. Overson questioned what would have to be done to make this a usable parking lot? Mr. Hanna stated there would be paving of the surface to be utilized for parking vehicles and some element of grading to make the property drain properly for stormwater drainage. M/S/C/U(Johnson/Colvin) motion to approve Resolution #2412, authorizing the Interfund Loan to the Roosevelt Field Capital Asset Fund from the Parking System Revenue Fund; and approval of Budget Adjustment Request 92-20. 8A - RESOLUTION NO. 2412, AUTHORIZING AN INTERFUND LOAN FROM THE PARKING SYSTEMREVENUE FUNDTO THE ROOSEVELT CAPITAL ASSET FUND, #AB92-250 This Resolution will provide the cash necessary to carry out the demolition of the structures at the Bremerton Lumber site. See discussion and motion action under Item 7A. 8B - RESOLUTION NO. 2411, TO ADOPT THE CITY OF BREMERTON UTILITIES DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION 8TANDARD8, #AB92-251 The Utility, pursuant to Washington State Department of Health Regulations promulgated under Washington Administrative Code 248-54 and Department comprehensive planning guidelines, is required to formally adopt its development and construction standards. The Utility planning and design standards set forth the minimum requirements for development of utility systems, materials standards, common construction methods and standard details for utility systems together with drafting standards and plan formats. Attached for City Council's consideration is a resolution providing for the formal adoption of the City of Bremerton Utilities Development and Construction Standards. Bill Duffy, Utilities Director, stated this proposal will allow much ease in development of projects by not having to require that every project be submitted to the Department Of Health for their approval. He noted even though the standards had not been formally adopted, he had been using them for several years. Mr. Waibel questioned if the Health District's technical staff had reviewed the standards as presented? Mr. Duffy stated no, TAPE #1063 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes October 7, 1992 Page 10 of 14 however, the standards are based on the Health District's requirements, which can be found in the "Ten State Standards. The Utility extracted the information from those standards as well as American Waterworks Association's WPCF Association and Water Pollution Control Federation plus the City's standards with respect to development of the City. Public comment - none. #1965 M/S/C/U(Dawkins/Colvin) motion to approve Resolution No. 2411, the attached City of Bremerton Utilities Development and Construction Standards, and authorize the Utility to implement said Standards subject to City Administrative Policies and Procedures; and to have the standards reviewed by the Health District. 8C - ORDINANCE (FIRST READING) ESTABLISHING A ROSTER OF QUALIFIED TOWING OPERATOR8, #AB92-252 The proposed Ordinance establishes a rotating roster of qualified towing operators to provide City authorized and City requested tows. The ordinance establishes minimum equipment standards to ensure that operators on the roster will have equipment sufficient to meet the City's needs and ties towing rates to those in effect under the Washington State Patrol towing contract. In addition, it establishes a complaint procedure to resolve disputes arising from City authorized tows. Jim McNamara, Assistant City Attorney, explained whenever the City's Police Department finds it necessary to call a tow truck, there will be rotating roster of towing companies who meet the qualifications of the ordinance who can come in and take over that tow. The qualifications do not apply to a private tow...if someone's vehicle breaks down and a tow is needed, that towing company would not have to be on this roster. President Horton questioned if Mr. McNamara had researched qualifications other than having specific numbers and kinds of tow trucks to provide a level of service? Mr. McNamara stated he did review that issue and could not find anything similar, however, he was aware that the WAC's contain a provision addressing standards. that during normal hours tow trucks must be on the move within five minutes and after- hours being on the move within 15 minutes. Even the State Patrol does not have a standard for getting to the tow sight within a certain period of time. In discussing this with the Police Chief and towing operators, there was some disagreement from some of the TAPE #1063 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes October 7, 1992 Page 11 of 14 towing operators but the ultimate decision was to leave it as is and put in equipment requirement. Mr. Overson stated the Operation Committee discussed this at length and there was concerned over the requirement for a Class C towing vehicle, which is a very expensive piece of equipment. By putting that requirement in the ordinance, it would eliminate otherwise qualified towing agencies. Even though he was concerned over the exclusionary aspect, there isn't any other method to insure the availability of a Class C towing vehicle. Apparently the Washington State Patrol does not require that class of vehicle and without such a requirement there would not be one available to respond quickly when the need arises. Mr. Waibel stated since we now have a Ferry Terminal that can handle more truck traffic through the City, there is the need to have equipment available to handle truck breakdowns in an efficient manner. Therefore, he felt requiring a Class C towing vehicle was a legitimate requirement. Mr. Dawkins questioned the numbers of times a Class C tow truck has been needed in the City in recent years? Chief De1 McNeal, Police Chief, stated Mr. Tucker of Chico Towing provided information that reflected the use of a Class C tow truck 12 times within a month. He felt that was significant enough number that it is important to include that requirement. Mr. Johnson expressed concern that someone who had their vehicle impounded while they were away on vacation or deployed with the military, would come back and find their vehicle impounded by a company who was open only five days per week and 8-hours per day. He felt that would create a hardship and if there is to be a "impound lot" the public should have access to it seven days a week, 24 hours per day. Mr. McNamara noted there is provision in the ordinance that during a towing company's month of rotation they have to maintain 24- hour per day hours, which includes one day after the end of their rotation. If a vehicle is towed on the last day of the month, 24-hour access still has to be provided the next day. Mr. Johnson stated he still had concern over that issue and did not feel he could support the proposal. Pat Tucker, Kitsap Public Services Inc., representing Chico Towing, stated his company does stay open 24-hours per day seven days a week to allow for release of vehicles. He noted the proposed ordinance is basically the ordinance that is in affect with added State policies to update it to State rules. TAPE #1063 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes October 7, 1992 Page 12 of 14 The State rules provide that a vehicle owner can get his vehicle out of impound 24-hours per day seven days per week and within 30 minutes, even during times of off-contract. President Horton stated towing companies do private tows and felt they would have to be open liberal hours so that people could pick up their vehicles. Mr. Tucker emphasized that it was his company's policy to maintain an open office 24-hours per day seven days a week. Mr. Neville questioned if there was an added surcharge to get a vehicle out of impound on the 32nd day? Mr. Tucker stated the State does provide for towing companies to charge an additional $35.00. Since his company is always open, they do not implement that additional charge to release a vehicle. He recommended adding a provision to the proposed ordinance that would specify there would be no additional charge for releasing a vehicle that was picked up in the City after normal working hours. Mr. Tucker urged the Council to pass the ordinance as proposed. The following individuals spoke in favor of the proposal: 8teven Craig, representing Bremerton Towing; Glenn Jarstad, 2823 Hefner; Dan Jake, owner Bethel Towing, Port Orchard. (1) The proposed ordinance is in the best interest of the City as well as the towing company providing the service; (2) the fee schedule is a flat hourly rate that is negotiated between the State Of Washington and Washington Tow Truck Association and removes the ability to itemize charges for different services, and protects the City from unfair and unethical business billing practices; (3) requirement for 3 towing vehicles is needed because it is not unusual to have multi- vehicle accidents within the same time frame in the City; (4) if there was no requirement for a Class C towing truck that could mean the City could be without one and would have to call one in from Tacoma or Seattle. And, if this requirements was removed, Bremerton Towing might sell their Class C truck; (5) the requirement for location of an impound lot in the City is beneficial to both the City Police Department and vehicle owners. (6) important towing companies providing towing services for City residents are part of the City's tax base; (7) rotation method provides for orderly service for towing needs; (8) any agency work is not self-supporting therefore, tow companies would have to do some amount of private towing; (8) if an impound lot is allowed to be located outside the City, that would mean Police Officers would have to go outside of their jurisdiction. TAPE #1064 The following individual spoke in opposition: Ernie Alexander, representing Gateway Towing. He raised the following TAPE #1064 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes October 7, 1992 Page 13 of 14 concerns: (1) None of the other law enforcement agencies in the County require a Class C tow truck; (2) it is cost prohibitive to have a business open 24-hours per day seven days a week unless that business is tied into some other 24- hour service organization; (3) every other law enforcement agency is on an every other call for rotation type service. There are certain times of the year that are more profitable and busier than other times of the year; (4) if the ordinance is approved, it would be difficult for another company to come into the City and apply for law enforcement towing. #0020 Mr. Overson stated the ordinance quotes RCW 46.55 and a copy of WAC 204-91-180 Vehicle Towing Operator Qualifications - he questioned the difference? Mr. McNamara stated there are three separate RCW's authorizing the adoption of rules in furtherance of the RCW. That provision of the Washington Administrative Code (WAC) is one of the rules and regulations adopted pursuant to RCW 46.55. For a towing operator to become licensed as a hauler they have to go to the State for licensing and there are additional requirements under the WAC's as well. M/S/C/U(Waibel/Colvin) motion to approve Ordinance on first reading, adopting a new Chapter 9.10 establishing a rotating roster of qualified towing operators to provide City authorized and City requested towing services, with the modification to 9.10.060 Fees to read: "Fees charged by the towing operators to the City for City authorized and City requested tows shall be those then in effect under the Washington State Patrol towing contract, with the exception that no additional fees or surcharges may be charged for release of property after regular business hours". 8D - ORDINANCE (FIR8T READING) REPEALING CHAPTER 2.88 AND ESTABLISHING THE MAKE UP OF A DISABILITY ACTION COMMITTEE, #AB92-244 City Council has adopted an ADA grievance procedure which utilizes a Disability Action Committee as a hearing board for ADA grievances. This ordinance establishes the make up of the Committee and outlines its duties and responsibilities. Ian Sievers, City Attorney, noted Council requested a change, by first reading, to Section 2.88.020 adding some qualification requirements for members and the second change was to Section 2.88.090 Vacancies - allowing for the City Council to make an appointment during prolonged vacancies of positions. #0159 TAPE #1064 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes October 7, 1992 Page 14 of 14 Mr. Waibel recommended changing the word "Handicapped" in the Ordinance Title to "Disability". Public comment - none. M/S/C/U(Waibel/Dawkins) motion to approve the Ordinance, on first reading, repealing Chapter 1.88 of the Bremerton Municipal Code and adopting a new Chapter establishing the make up of a Disability Action Committee.
