COUNCIL MEMBER REPORTS Mr. Johnson thanked Mayor Mentor and the citizens of Bremerton for taking their active participation in the clean up of the downtown area and other neighborhoods as people become involved. As the groups accumulate large amounts of garbage, when practical, they will do a source separation for recycling. Mr. Johnson invited any citizens who would like to serve on the City's new Solid Waste Advisory Committee to contact Mayor Mentor's office to obtain an application and/or obtain additional information (478-5266). In regard to solid waste management, the following list of items will be mandated by the State in 1991, and must be included in the City's new garbage collection franchise or included in some other means in the City: defining which materials will be recycled; curb side collection of recyclable materials (it is his understanding that there is a clause now which would allow some type of community TAPE #715 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes March 7, 1990 Page 2 of 23 drop off program instead of curb side pick up); multi-family housing recycling programs; non-residential waste stream monitoring (businesses); yard waste collection programs, which would lead to a compostinG operation; education programs and recycling of mixed waste. He stated he is proud of the citizens in their clean up efforts and he would like to be as proud of landowners of businesses in the downtown area if they too would clean up with a Good cleaning and window washing. Cable TV - within the next week he will have a Resolution from the Cable Advisory Committee, addressing the FCC Rulings on Syndex, ready for Council consideration. Mr. Colvin stated during the Bremerton Central Lions Club meeting this date he heard an excellent presentation on the 1990 Census program and he noted that a 1004 census would mean more money for Kitsap County. He encouraged everyone to participate in the upcoming census. And, he noted since Mr. Mumma left City employment, he has received a number of complaints which he has redirected to Mayor Mentor. Mr. Dawkins announced the Legislature did pass the Gas tax proposal, which would bring back the passenger only ferry service very soon. He thanked Clint Shinkle and Betti Sheldon for their trips to Olympia in support of the Gas Tax Bill. He also thanked Admiral Parker, who emphasized the fact that if Given the funding he would manage them right. Mr. Collins stated on Saturday, March 3, he and his wife were on their way downtown to help in the clean up but were waylaid by a specific area in his neighborhood - they collected six bags of Garbage, three additional bags which had not split open, a TV set, one muffler, three couch cushions. Mr. Estes introduced Bob Sauter. Bob Sauter, 3302 9th Street, stated he was requested, by Mr. Estes, to take a took at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, which he did and was not pleased with the conditions found there. He would like to develop a plan to enhance the memorial by building a rock wall behind it or some type of suitable wall to block off the alley. He contacted the Department Of Navy in Washington, D.C., and they are interested in enhancing one particular Grave site with a marker that states: "Here Lies The Remains Of the Unknown Sailors From The USS Saratoga, Who Perished In Action In WWII, on February 21, 1945". The Department Of Navy will furnish an appropriate type marker for that Grave. Mr. Sauter stated Marilyn Mensier of Olympic College has volunteered to design a proposal for a wall for the Tomb Of The Unknown Soldier - at no charge, and she will also have a model of the design. Mr. Sauter stated he and Mr. Estes needed Council's approval to proceed with this enhancement project. He stated he would personally solicit TAPE #715 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes March 7, 1990 Page 3 of 23 held from all of the Veterans Organization and some of the active duty installations to adopt a military plot in the cemetery, to clean it up and maintain it so that it is suitable for anyone to visit. Mr. Hornin~ thanked Mr. Estes for pursuing the Tomb Of the Unknown Soldier project. This past weekend he and his wife attended a musical production put on by High School students, which they enjoyed immensely. He encouraged anyone who enjoys musicals to be sure and not miss future productions - the student performers were excellent. He spot lighted the role of "Elizabeth" played by Sere Quigley, a Junior in High School, noting her special stage presence. Last Thursday, March 1, four Council members and Mayor Mentor met with the three County Commissioners to discuss the possibility of locating some County services in Bremerton. This meeting was positive and from that discussion the Commissioners have requested a meeting with the entire City Council to get to know one another better and to further move toward cooperation on other issues. As a result of their request, a meeting has been set for April 10, 7:00 p.m., at the Hearthstone Restaurant. Mr. Horning emphasized the fact that despite what some people say City and County officials are getting along even though they may disagree on some issues. On a sad note, the long-time business Thurman's Supply has left the City and moved its business to Port Orchard. Mr. Waibel wished his 5-year old daughter, Hillary, a HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Mrs. Horton reported on the funding that the State has allocated to Bremerton for the 4-lane access into the City...a multi-million dollar appropriation. She was informed that to a great extent the City received this funding because of a walk through of that appropriation line item through the Legislature by Walt Berschaur, a local engineer. Mrs. Horton extended a grateful "thank you" to Mr. Bershaur for his effor% which will benefit the City greatly. Throughout the past few months she has been involved with the Air Quality Board as well as having attended Clean Water seminars and during the Study Session on March 5, heard a presentation on hazardous waste emergency preparation in the event of a "spill". An issue has become apparent time and time again...the fact that funding comes from two sources, federal and local governments. The state by and large pays very little in all of these efforts and yet mandates municipalities, in cooperation with the Federal government, to institute programs. She stressed the fact that the State Legislature is shirking its duty in a lot of areas and she feels the City, City council and all other Councils in the State need to hold the Legislature accountable. The State needs to be told that they need to provide their fair share of funding for TAPE #715 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes March 7, 1990 Page 4 of 23 mandated programs. Lastly, she described a special science class curriculum (learning about weather) being used in the Bremerton School District. She pointed out this is an excellent example how children learn through doing interesting and fun activities from a practical standpoint. She commended the Bremerton School District for providing such programs and pointed out this is just another example of the good job being done in the field of education in the Bremerton area. Mr. Johnson thanked Mr. Estes and Mr. Sauter for their effort in trying~ake improvements at Ivy Green Cemetery/Tomb Of the Unknown Soldier. Mr. Sauter suggested funding for such a project be solicited from all citizens of Bremerton, similar to funds raised by the Bell Ringing Fund. He will pursue corporation solicitation as well. ~0564 M/S/C/U(Johnson/Colvin) that the City Council strongly encourages efforts to enhance the tributes to veterans that exist in Ivy Green Cemetery, including the grave of the Medal Of Honor recipient. PUBLIC RECOGNITION Mayor Mentor reported he served as a Judge for a Science Fair at the Bremerton Middle School, which he found very interesting as well as learning a lot from the 6th, 7th and 8th graders. And, he congratulated local sports teams for their winnings, especially Olympic college. Mayor Mentor read a Proclamation recognizing women serving the United States in the military from the earliest days as a republic as well as in the continental Army of the American Revolution, as nurses, spies and soldiers on the front lines. 400,000 women serve their country today in the Active Military Service, National Guard Reserves and there are approximately 1.2 million living women veterans, 29,500 of whom reside in the State of Washington. Mayor Menton did declare March 1990 as WOMEN IN MILITARY SERVICE FOR AMERICA MONTH, honoring those who served this country in past years, today and those of the future. Bob Sauter, 3309 9th Street, accepted the Proclamation and noted it will grace the walls of the memorial located at Arlington Cemetery in Washington D.C. He also announced that Mayor Mentor is the only other Mayor in the United States who serves on the National Advisory Council for this worthy memorial. Charlene Burnette, Parks And Recreation Department, officially invited the Council and general public to attend their second annual Healthy Living Fair, March 16 (2 - 9 PM), March 17 (10 AM - 5 PM) at the Sheridan Park Recreation Center. Kal heichtman, 205 High Avenue, expressed concern as to why he was TAPE #715 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes March 7, 1990 Page 5 of 23 not called as a witness at a prowlers trial (Police Cases 90-01441 90-01504). Me noted when asking that question of the City he was told it was their "practice". He then related in detail several instances where someone was prowling mail boxes, rolling vehicles away from residences and damaging them. This activity was taking place on the same street where he resides and because he was up late at night he became aware of such activity. During one prowling activity he even was able to get a picture of the suspected individual. Mr. Leichtman's garage door and vehicle were also damaged. He reported that the prowler was convicted for a lesser crime for the least amount of damage. President Horton requested that Council's Legislative Assista= . communicate this concern to Police Chief Del McNeal with a copy of Chief McNeal's response being sent to the City Council and Mayor Mentor. Judith Katsirubas, representing Kitsap Community Action Program (KCAP), 1200 Elizabeth Street, announced KCAP's annual banquet honoring the KCAP volunteers who have given 22,778 hours working with their programs. This event will be held March 30, 5:30 PM to 9:00 PM at the Bayview Quality Inn. Tickets are available - $15.00 each and Ms. Katsirubas noted she would be returning in one week to provide the opportunity for those wanting to purchase tickets for this event. Dusty Rhodes, representing the Bremerton Central Lions Club, announced the Lions will be holding on March 8 and 9th their 12th Annual Radiothon - KITZ, starting at 6:00 AM - 8:00 PM each day. He encouraged everyone to join in, the funds raised during the telethon will be used for the Sight & Hearing Foundation of the Lions Eye Bank.

Lady Lions will be hosting a food booth and a twenty five cent entrance fee will be charged. Anyone who has rummage or items they would like to donate may contact the Lions Club via phone numbers published in "The Sun" and listed on the Public Access Channel 29. 6A - REAPPOIBTMENT TO PARK BOARD - GEOFRY HOSEA, ~AB90-041 The term of Geofry Hosea expired in October, 1989. Mayor Mentor is recommending reappointment of Mr. Hosea to another term on the Parks Board. Mayor Mentor briefly reviewed Mr. Hosea's past service both for the City and within the community and urged the Council to confirm his appointment to the Parks Board. ~1274 M/S/C/U(Horning/Collins) to confirm the reappointment of Geofry Hosea to another term on the Parks Board. TAPE #715 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes March 7, 1990 Page 6 of 23 Geofr¥ Hosea thanked the Council for their vote of confidence and stated he looked forward to this next year and all the exciting changes that could take place in the City. He hoped to expand the "Tree Planting" program throughout the neighborhoods. 6B - LOCAL COOPEKATION AGREEMENT FORMENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, ~AB90- 042 In 1975 the City agreed to provide a one acre parcel of property at 500 Union Avenue, as a site for a community mental health clinic. In 1977 the County was the lead agency in securing Referendum 29 Funds for the construction of that facility. Since that time the Mental Health provider has had a lease with the City for the land and a lease with the County for the building. There was no coordination of the two leases. At Council's request a Local Cooperative Agreement with the County was requested. A document has been negotiated and is recommended for approval. Public comment invited - none received. ~1382 M/S/C/U(Waibel/Colvin) to approve the Local Cooperative Agreement with Kitsap County for lease of City owned land at 500 Union Avenue, said property to house the County owned facility used for outpatient mental health care. 6C - 1990 RATE INCREASE PROPOSALS FOR AMBULANCE COMPANIES, #AB90- 024 This item was previously tabled and additional information requested from the Ambulance companies regarding income revenues and expenses. Paula Johnston, Business License Inspector, stated this issue was last before the Council on February 28, 1990, when the ambulance companies explained why a rate increase was being requested at this time. At that meeting Council had several questions that needed to be answered: (1) to provide more history on costs and more specifically on costs related to ambulance trips; (2) number of ambulance trips made in 1988; (3) projected ambulance trips for 1990 and related costs; (4) why new personnel had been added and any new functions undertaken. At that time Council passed a motion to continue this item until sufficient financial statements showing the profit levels of Olympic Ambulance and Bremerton Ambulance, for the Bremerton community, in order to determine if the rates were proper. Mr. Homing stated he would accept a piece approach providing a comparison with how they used bandages, etc., in the expense of an actual run; and Mr. Johnson stated the intent was to allow the companies to provide information on a per unit basis but relating to the Bremerton area. And, he also indicated something needs to be provided which reflects both income revenue and expenses. TAPE #715 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes March 7, 1990 Page 7 of 23 Bill Little9ohn, owner Olympic Ambulance, stated he had met with the Council Operations Committee and had a better understanding of what type of information the City Council desired. As a result of this meeting, he prepared additional data which reflected costs - pinpointing a few items - showing the total costs as well as cost per run on each of the items. Public comment invited - none received. Mr. Dawkins noted a $13.94 per run increase due to increased personnel costs and an inhouse dispatch service which is shared by the Lacy office. Mr. Hornin~ noted it was important that the people who serve Bremerton make a profit so they can stay in business. And, he felt if the Council had been in the mode to accept rates in the past, that a certain profit margin was acceptable. He feels it is fair for a rate increase based on the fact that particular outlined items have increased in costs. Had the rules been changed a number of years ago requiring specific information as to profit, then he would want that to continue. Mr. Colvin questioned how did the proposed rates compare with other communities? Mr. Hornin~ stated Bremerton was in fairly good shape relative to other communities although the cost of living has been less in the Bremerton area. And, Olympic Ambulance and Bremerton Ambulance rates are substantially lower than Shepherd and Shannon, who are common carrier in other communities. Mr. Overson pointed out a 304 pay increase for personnel in the ambulance service from 1985 to present, which he felt was a healthy increase. He did express concern that the proposed rate increase was inflationary and did not support the proposal as presented. Mr. Johnson stated the information he requested was that he be convinced that the profit margin being made on a per run type basis that the ambulance contractors are getting is a fair and reasonable profit. He also would like the Ambulance Committee to review how it is the City really measures a reasonable return, not the total amount of revenue that comes into the company, but what is a fair and reasonable profit. #1738 M/S/C(Collins/Dawkins) to accept the 1990 rate fees for Bremerton Ambulance and Olympic Ambulance. Vote: In Favor: Horning, Waibel, Collins, Dawkins, Colvin, Johnson Opposed: Overson, Estes, Horton TAPE #715 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes March 7, 1990 Page 8 of 23 ~1825 M/S/C/U(Johnson/Colvin) that the City Ambulance Committee be tasked with determining a method to measure the recommendation coming to the City Council so that the City is assured the ambulance providers only make a fair and reasonable profit from the citizens of Bremerton. 6D - MEETING: 10~ NOTICE TO ANNEX - TO MEET #ITH PROPERTY OWNERS WHO HAVE REQUESTED ANNEXATION AND TO CONSIDER THE PROPOSED "HILLCKEST ASSEMBLY ANNEXATION AREA", #AB90-043 A "Notice Of Intent To Commence Annexation" has been filed by Hillcrest Assembly, Inc., requesting annexation of a single 2.24 acre parcel. The property is vacant, contiguous to the City limits, and is located southeast of the intersection of Oyster Bay Avenue and First Street. The Annexation Area that is being proposed includes seven small parcels to the west and east of the Hillcrest Assembly property in order to avoid an irregular boundary. The 10% Notice Of Intent actually includes 274 of the total value of this area. This initial meeting is to consider the request, determine whether planning and zoning will be adopted, and whether indebtedness will be assumed. If the Council agrees to proceed, the applicant will submit a 754 Petition at a later date. Ron Houuh, Planning Manager, provided view graphs showing the location of the proposed Annexation Area. He noted Hillcrest Assembly, Inc., owns a 3.17 acre parcel northeast of the intersection of Oyster Bay Avenue and First Street, inside the City limits of Bremerton directly across First Street from the proposed Annexation Area. In order to have both their properties in the same jurisdiction for ease of future development, they have requested that the smaller parcel be annexed into the City. Their long-range plans are to develop the property. If Council desires to proceed with the annexation process, there would be several public hearings to allow citizens input prior to final action taking place. Gary Ekstedt, Pac-Tec Engineering, represent.ing Hillcrest Assembly Inc., stated his firm was contracted to follow through with the annexation procedure and if annexed, to develop some final plans for implementation and development of the property. He briefly explained the purpose of the request .... to bring the property currently in the County into the City in order for them to approach this project as the same parcel of land and under the same jurisdiction. He pointed out there is an undeveloped driveway between the two parcels and depending upon the final proposal it can either be vacated or incorporated into the finished product. TAPE #715 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes March 7, 1990 Page 9 of 23 At this point Hillcrest Assembly Inc., is looking into doing some sort of multi-family project, pending zoning. public comment invited - none received. Mr. Johnson noted the request appeared to be reasonable, however, he was concerned that the request may be to small considering it is to go before the Boundary Review Board. He supported defining the proposed annexation area with more straight lines, and he questioned what might be the Boundary Reviews' response toward submission of just the proposed parcels? Mr. HouGh stated if Hillcrest Assembly Inc., can obtain the 75~ participation he feels the Boundary Review Board would approve the request. If the Annexation Area were expanded it would just make it more difficult to get the required number of signatures. Mr. Johnson questioned if contact had been made to property owners up to "O" Street? Mr. Hough stated no - "O" Street is a dead end, going only part way through from the east. President Horton questioned if any property owners had been contacted in the upper quadrant? Mr. HouGh stated no, due to time and manpower constraints. Mr. Dawkins pointed out the City has not had much interest in annexation from the residents in the general area of the proposed Annexation Area and questioned if the applicant had talked with landowners included in the proposed Annexation area? Mr. Ekstedt stated the application is aware of past reactions to proposed annexation, but he feels the original proposal was much larger than that being proposed at this time. Mr. Waibel pointed out that the City did not go out and ask Hillcrest Assembly Inc., to annex into the City. The church initiated this request and have indicated they would be willing to come into the City on their own if the Boundary Review Board would allow them. Since that is not possible, the City has agreed to add some additional properties in order to keep the boundary lines straight. No attempt on the part of the City' has been made to force anyone in the Navy Yard City area to come into the City. ~2501 M/S/C/U(Waibel/Horning) to accept the Notice Of Intent and direct the staff to proceed with this annexation; to require the annexed properties to assume the City's current indebtedness following the annexation; and at a public hearing consider the Planning Commission's recommendations pertaining to Comprehensive Planning and Zoning of the subject area. Mr. HouGh stated for clarification that the Planning Commission does not deal with the issue of annexation it deals only with the TAPE %715 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes March 7, 1990 Page 10 of 23 Comprehensive Plan and zoning. 6E - APPROVE SALARY FOR ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY II - JAMES McNAMA~A, #AB90-044 The position of Assistant City Attorney II has been filled with the appointment of James McNamara who replaces Laura Anderson, who left the City for private practice in December. Council is asked to approve a starting salary of $30,656, or 91.2~ of the range mean pursuant to the Non-Union Management Salary Ordinance. It was the objective of the Department to pay for an experienced employee since the replaced employee was experienced and the other Civil Assistant was promoted from the criminal position and only had 8 months civil practice experience. Mr. McNamara will concentrate on land use and development and general litigation. He has a Masters in Urban and Regional Planning, and work experience in the Attorney General's Natural Resources Division and three years experience in private practice. Ian Sievers, City Attorney, stated he was pleased to get a more experienced attorney for only 1.2~ over the Council's assumed starting rate per manager. And, Mr. McNamara has been on-the-job for 1 1/2 weeks and has already shown he has a very short learning curve. Public comment invited - none received. ~2732 M/S/C/U(Waibel/Colvin) to approve the starting of salary of $30,656 for James McNamara. 7A - RESOLUTION ~2289. ESTABLISHES THE 1990 WATERFRONT FUNDING, DESIGN ANDCONSTKUCTION SCH~Db~E; AND RESOLUTION ~2290, AMENDS THE WATERFRONT DEVELOPMENT SITE PLAN, %AB90-045 In order to commence boardwalk construction during 1990, Council approval for project funding is required. The Mayor's 1990 waterfront development schedule moves 1990 funds from the Plaza Park project to the over-water park. Resolution %2289 establishes this schedule and commences budget and design contract process. The City Council has adopted a site plan for the waterfront public projects. The Mayor proposes in Resolution %2290 to amend the site plan to: create a broader over-water facility; dedicate the foot of 2nd Street as PSNS Centennial Park; to remove sighting of the Harbor Master office. Don Pratt, Director Of Community Development, stated the two actions being requested are by resolutions...being used to determine what City policy will be in the development of the waterfront. The resolutions are only intended to develop City TAPE #715 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes March 7, 1990 Page 11 of 23 policy, there are several implementing actions that must be taken at a later date in order to accomplish the waterfront, regardless of which scheme is finally decided. One resolution deals specifically with establishing a construction schedule, which projects will take place over the next year; and the second resolution proposes to amend a site plan, which was adopted by the City Council September 1989. By way of background, when Mayor Mentor took office in January, 1990, he requested Mr. Pratt to discuss with him the status of the waterfront projects. There were subsequent conversations with the Mayor on this subject as well as a trip to view other developing waterfronts in this region. The Mayor, during this analysis, requested that a listing of projects and their status be developed. He also requested help to come up with a listing of priorities and a listing of availability of funds. Upon review of those items, Mayor Mentor now proposes a strategy, the main basis of which would be to coordinate the City's waterfront projects with the Port of Bremerton's waterfront project, which is the marina development. And, the Mayor is proposing to undertake the boardwalk project in such a manner that it will be completed at the time the Port's marina is complete...current estimated completion date is October/November 1990. In addition, the City has been working in association with the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard Centennial Committee. The Navy's Centennial celebration will be in September 1991, and they have requested to site some type of centennial monument or memorial on the waterfront. In order to meet the September 1991 date the City needs to be assigning areas and developing that project immediately. Lastly, the Mayor needs to meet the Turner Joy placement, which is expected to occur later this year, possibly the end of the third quarter of 1990. This all needs to be accomplished without going over parks or projects that may have been built in the way of developing the waterfront projects. Therefore, the first resolution proposes to build a boardwalk or overwater park from First to Second Street in 1990 (priority %1 - Mayor's 1990 waterfront strategy). The second priority is to build access to the Turner Joy in 1990 and to make sure all of the City's projects and funding efforts are coordinated to accomplish that. The third priority is to facilitate PSNS Centennial Park development. There are numerous conditions that have occurred that bring the Mayor to this point and are included in the resolutions. One of the major considerations was funding. Currently the City has $309,000 in secure funding to develop a waterfront park/pathway, whether it is an upland park or overwater park the funding sources do not differentiate - the discretion is up to the City. In the site plan, which was adopted in September 1989, it showed an approximately 15,000 sq. ft. overwater project and the estimated TAPE #715 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes March 7, 1990 Page 12 of 23 cost of that project was in the order of $400,000. It is anticipated that the City is approximately $100-150,000 short inclusive of design fees to having that completed. In addition, the Hotel/Motel Tax fund at the end of 1990 is projected to have a cash balance of $174,000. Currently the City earns $60,000 per year in tax revenue from that fund and the Mayor proposes to investigate use of the Hotel/Motel Tax to provide funding for City projects on the waterfront. The Real Estate Excise Tax, which can be used for capital projects, such as the waterfront projects, is projected in the 1990 budget to have a cash balance of $330,000. Currently, approximately $70,000 is earned in tax revenue alone from that fund. Both of the figures for the revenue from Hotel/Motel and Revenue Excise Tax do not take into account interest earned on the cash balance. There are adequate funds to build an overwater park assuming use of one of those two accounts. Therefore, the first resolution proposes to implement the above stated three priorities and tell City staff to come back with architectural contracts and budget amendments to cover development of those projects and meeting those priorities. The second resolution proposes to amend the Site Plan that was adopted September 1989. The reason for the amendment to the site plan is that several conditions have changed: (1) the previously adopted Site Plan did show a harbor master's office for the marina. A harbor master office is projected by the Port of Bremerton but the location is unknown and they do not wish the site designated without some further discussion, at a later date, after the City establishes the priority of the boardwalk. Mayor Mentor feels strongly about having a broader boardwalk than that depicted in the previous site plan. A 15 ft. wide boardwalk had been suggested in the previous proposal and Mayor Mentor is suggesting a 30 ft. boardwalk, which would allow more activities to take place over the water. In addition, discussion has been held with Puget Sound Naval Shipyard for establishment of a plaza or a place for them on the waterfront project that was not depicted in the first site plan. The Turner Joy funding and immediacy of the Turner Joy was not as secured in the first plan as it is in the second site plan. Lastly, in working with the Port of Bremerton in the design of the marina the bulb of land at the foot of second street interfered to a small extent with vessel traffic in and around the marina and it was much more accommodating to the Port's activities in that area to have it removed .... second site plan does propose to remove it. rAPE #716 The Mayor proposes to delay what is being referred to as the linear park in deference to constructing the boardwalk, working on development of the PSNS Plaza and assuring development of Second Street to Turner Joy access. TAPE #715 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes March 7, 1990 Page 13 of 23 Mayor Louis Mentor stated what is being proposed is what the City has capability of accomplishing this year. Even though there are some minor changes being proposed he is committed to remain faithful to the original concept of the waterfront development. The real costs of the proposed projects have not been determined at this time and only estimates of such cost have been stated. It is not known exactly what will happen with the Turner Joy and needed matching funds and that it why he is proposing moving forward in an orderly fashion as outlined. Whatever planning is done will be with the intent to work with the Bremer Trust and the Port of Bremerton in the overall development of the property. By the end of this year close to 8 million dollars will have been invested in the waterfront area, plus another 5 million dollars on the Ferry Terminal project. He emphasized the fact that the City has the opportunity to show investors and developers who are looking at Bremerton as well as citizens, who have been waiting, that the City is united, speaking in one voice and carry out the plans for 1990. Michael Conno11¥, Bremer's Trust, stated he had several concerns about Mayor Mentor's proposal as they affect the property interests of the Bremer Trust. He supports the plan adopted by the City and would like to see it go forward, but he did agree that the early completion of the boardwalk, if the City can afford it, should take precedent. What concerns him is the future of the waterfront park. There either is or is not a commitment to proceed. As Trustee his primary concern is protection of the upland properties from spot development that might cut off the Trust properties from the waterfront. The park serves to provide that protection as well as provide needed open space for the citizens of'Bremerton. From his view point, the City's agreement to provide that protection was a fundamental element of the assignment of the harbor leases to the Port. To the extent the City's commitment is ambiguous, then he is exposed to risks that he cannot accept and will of necessity have to seek that protection in other ways, which he does not wish to do so. Me has expressed these concerns to Mayor Mentor and he was assured that the City is committed to the park and that it will be constructed, either by a developer or by the City alone. Moreover, he assured him that nothing disadvantageous to the upland properties will happen in the interim. Therefore, he accepts these assurances at face value but his support of the Mayor's proposal is qualified and contingent upon them. And, he pointed out that many people see the waterfront park and demolition of the Bremerton Lumber building as substantial waterfront improvements on their own merits. If there is to be a delay in initiating these projects, he wants some assurance that such a decision is not seen as a breach of faith on the part of the Trust. He emphasized that the Trust remains ready to fulfill its obligations in that regard. Equally, when the time comes, he would expect the support of the TAPE #716 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes March 7, 1990 Page 14 of 23 City extending the permit so that the Trust still has the 4 1/2 years from completion as was originally agreed to. Lastly, he pointed out that the agreement with the Port specifically reserves to the Trust the right to operate parking on the tidelands until such time as the shoreside improvements of the City and Port shall preclude that use. That provision obviates the need for the City to address an interim use as proposed in Resolution #2289. With those assurances he supported the deferral of the waterfront Dark until completion of the boardwalk project. Ray White, representing the Executive Board of the Economic Development Council (EDC), stated he and his Board were in favor of the Mayor's proposal. He noted the primary change in the Mayor's proposal was the width of the boardwalk and he recognized the timing proposed might vary into 1991. He concurred with Mr. Connolly's remarks and feels Mayor Mentor has assured that the overall waterfront project is going as planned. James Robinson, 4904 Kitsap Way, representing Bremerton Area Chamber Of Commerce and as a member of the Waterfront Design Committee, stated it was with genuine excitement and anticipation that activity on the waterfront is going to actually happen. He applauded the elected leaders of the City who have worked hard and cooperatively with each other as well as the other significant players - Port Of Bremerton, Department Of Transportation, property owners, Historical Ships Association. The Chamber Of Commerce supports the waterfront design plan adopted by the Council in September 1989. They recognize and accept the reasoning behind changing the configuration of the boardwalk and changing the construction sequence or priority. They would like to be assured that the linear park will become a reality and they urged the Council to include that open space park in any final design and that it take its appropriate place in the development and funding sequence. Mr. Robinson read into the record the official action of the Chamber Board Of Directors. Guy Stitt, P.O. Box 30, Bremerton, representing Clyde Strickland and the Bremerton/Kitsap County Visitor and Convention Bureau (VCB), stated the VCB strongly supports any efforts that the City can make that would help move the City towards revitalization along the waterfront. And, each step taken should be built on previous steps, when possible. The VCB can make excellent use of open spaces, accommodating festivals, street fairs, tours, reunions, etc. Mr. Stitt stated, as a downtown business owner, he supports the Mayor's proposal even through it may appear to be a risk, however, he encouraged the Council to "go for it". Carl Cramer, representing the Turner Joy Foundation, stated placement of the Turner Joy on the waterfront is soon to become a TAPE #716 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes March 7, 1990 Page 15 of 23 reality after several years of working toward that goal. Last week the State Legislature included in the State budget $256,000 in matching funds for the Turner Joy project. Their funding campaign will be starting soon and they received notification today that on April 6 their honorary Chairmen Congressman Norm Dicks and Secretary Of State Ralph Munro will be in Bremerton for a luncheon in support of the funding campaign. Once the Turner Joy is placed on the waterfront, there will be a need to provide access for the public as well as other related activities, such as reunions, etc. The more inviting and interesting we can make the activities area around the Turner Joy the more chance there is of success for the Turner Joy itself as well as the whole waterfront development. He urged the Council to make a quick resolution so that movement can go forward on the waterfront. Don Atkinson, representing Bremerton Main Street Association, stated they were very much in support of the waterfront developments as have been envisioned and as suggested for modification by Mayor Mentor. They agree with the broadening of the boardwalk to accommodate greater capacities as far as people and activities. Main Street Association has recently made a major investment in a new downtown festival, which is planned for fall 1990, made additional investment in Bremerton's Armed Forces Festival and are very excited about not only the physical improvements but the program improvements that are occurring in this community. Don Larson, 135 Rainier Avenue, stated he was impressed with Mayor Mentor's proposal and questioned if there would be room to expand the marina in future years as interest grew in drawing boaters to this area? Del Knauss, 139 Olympic Avenue, stated during the last election for Mayor and City Council he chose to support those people who he felt would govern Bremerton with a long-range view toward improving the City. Mayor Mentor's proposal is an excellent plan that sets the stage for things to come. Dusty Rhodes, President Sheridan Neighborhood Association, stated that he feels Mayor Mentor's recommendation is the right way to go. If the boardwalk is built out of concrete, maintenance will be negligible whereas creosote piling will pollute as well as having to be replaced periodically as would a wooden boardwalk. And, if the linear park is built, he hoped developers would be just as willing to help pay their share as the City. Clint Shinkle, downtown businessman, applauded everyone on their unanimity of their views on what should happen on the waterfront and development of the waterfront plan. He feels there are some TAPE #716 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes March 7, 1990 Page 16 of 23 concerns regarding wording of the resolution and he recommended amending the wording to include the linear park. Currently it was identified as an "interim use area" and not specifically as a park. He pointed out it was just 30 days after the Park vote and during this discussion it is being proposed to leave out the linear park. The voters have spoken they want more open space and parks and everyone has agreed on the need to move ahead on the proposed design, then the only thing left to do is to amend the resolution to reflect those facts. Satia Goff, Vice President Of Hagger Company, representing several owners of downtown properties, stated she supports the plan and is in favor of widening the boardwalk, making it more useful. She believes that everyone is committed to a park. In the event that the Trust does find a developer for properties on the waterfront she looks to that developer sharing in some of the development costs of a park. This would provide some flexibility for the Trust as well as the developer'and the City could benefit by added dollars from an outside source. Rich Hanna, Acting City Clerk, read into the record a letter from Marry Crutcher, 1530 Elizabeth Street, in support of Mayor Mentor's proposal. President Horton reminded Council that at the end of 1989 they approved a Special Use Permit for expanded parking on the Bremerton Lumber site. It was an negotiated agreement and as part of that there was a vast number of the community who worked hard to see that project went forward. What that entailed was the demolition of the Bremerton Lumber building and as part of that the Bremer's Trust would provide landscape buffers between the cleared area and park area. She urged Council to meet and uphold the commitment that was made at that time. She presented amendments to the proposed resolutions (identified as Resolution 2289(B) and Resolution 2290(B)). The amendments recognize the linear park (inner harbor park) and makes it the second priority after the boardwalk project. Mr. Overson expressed concern that the City is putting all available funds into one project and he feels the City must get the most for their investment. He questioned the financial estimate on cost of developing the project ($30.00 per foot) and asked how much confidence is there in that estimate? Mr. Pratt stated that figure was given to an architect, who the City had hired, and the figure represents recent average costs for overwater construction in urban areas in the northwest region. Mr. Overson suggested shortening the width of the boardwalk by seven feet and utilize the difference in cost to fund the linear park. This would provide a completed waterfront area - providing a true gateway into the City TAPE #716 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes March 7, 1990 Page 17 of 23 of Bremerton. l~r. Pratt stated what he presented is the Mayor's proposed site plan. It is a general site plan and is designed only to indicate what programs will take place on the waterfront that will be publicly funded and in relation to other programs where they will take place. The project represents 16,300 feet at $30,00 per foot - $489,000 project. In discussion with the Mayor, they decided to represent the project proposed to be built at an approximate $400%000 expense - give or take 15~. It is not certain how this project will be achieved, they do believe they are "in the ball park" to get going and to come back to Council with exact number. In reference to the Hotel/Motel money .... it is not doing the City any good in the bank. It was his understanding that the State Legislature was proposing to unburden the City of letting funds like that sit in the bank...saying if you don't allocate those funds in a short period of time we will use them for State projects. Lastly, a common method of financing capital project in cities is to use revenue bonds and to pledge revenue streams such as Real Estate Excise Tax and Hotel/Motel Tax over the number of years it would take to build that project. Kitsap County did just that with the Fairgrounds Exhibit Hall. Mr. Overson stated he could support the $489,000 if both phases are completed as proposed in September 1989. He did not support committing Real Estate Excise Tax and Hotel/Motel Tax funds to be earned in the future to fund this project. Mr. Waibel stated what was important to look at was the resolution proposes: (1) look at the design and determine costs; (2) first thing to be completed is a boardwalk; (3) make sure that it connects up to the Turner Joy; (4) try and make sure the PSNS Centennial Park is ready by the PSNS centennial. If there are any funds left over after the initial projects, then consideration can be given to the linear park. The priorities established in the resolution are ones that no one in this City should be against, in fact there hasn't even been much opposition from the public. Mr. Johnson questioned if there was any affect on current permits, EIS statements, etc.? Mr. Pratt stated no permits have been applied for any of the projects discussed. All of the environmental work has been done on the Downtown Waterfront Urban Renewal Plan and the Shoreline Master Plan and both of these projects would be in conformance. The changes proposed are within the scope of the plans previously approved by the Department Of Ecology. Mr. Johnson questioned if there was coordination of all the entities involved for all the heavy equipment work, in the water and shoreside so that when the pile drivers are brought in all their work will be done in tandem all the way from the Turner Joy to the Ferry Terminal? Mt.Pratt stated there had been some coordination...the Port is in the process of building the floating pier right now, the marina project and boardwalk project can go TAPE #716 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes March 7, 1990 Page 18 of 23 concurrently, in fact, it has been determined there will be a joint design of the linkage from the marina to the boardwalk. The Turner Joy project with the Port is uncertain as to when the pile driving is happening and this portion of the project from 2nd Street to 4th Street is not funded, therefore it is not possible to project a construction schedule. Mr. Johnson ~uestioned if the pile driving work would be done from the water side or upland side. l~r. Pratt stated mostly from the water side - and he estimated 50~ of the work on the boardwalk would happen from each side. This does not depict all of the utilities that need to be in place on and under the pier in order to serve the vessel and serve the public use of the area...that will all be shoreside work. Mr. Johnson questioned if he could assume by late fall the City will have completed the heavy work so at that point park construction could begin? Mr. Pratt stated the schedule given by the architect says that based on a mid-March start they can have the project out to bid by mid- July and a 4-month construction period which would put the completion in the fall. Mr. Johnson questioned if the money for design and layout of the park would be the only money available to spend in 19907 Mr. Pratt stated there is already a lot of design work completed on the park and it is well on its way to go out to bid so it won't take a lot of work to coordinate the two. One key item in the discussion is the fact that the boardwalk from 2nd Street to the Turner Joy is not a secured funded project. This is subject to a $500,000 EDA grant, approval of that is partially based on local ability to generate funding and have adjoining projects in place. The City is being very careful not to make the offer to do that project, but with a clear priority that project represents to the City. Mr. Johnson questioned if there had been a date set for demolition of the Bremerton Lumber building? Mr. Pratt stated the Bremer Trust has taken out the necessary permits to demolish the building and that permit is good for 180 days. The Shoreline Permit required them to start work within one year. Mr. Estes requested clarification of the terms "boardwalk" and "walkway". Mr. Pratt stated that is to be determined in the design and what is being requested is the resolution to approve the hiring of an architect and identifying the projects they'll design. One of the things they will be requested to provide rather quickly is what kind of surface materials will be used so the public has an idea what it will look and feel like. During previous visits to areas that had overwater facilities both concrete and wood construction were viewed and the consensus at that time was preference for concrete. Mr. Estes pointed out if the boardwalk were reduced in width from 30 feet to 27 feet it would severely limit activities, such as festivals, etc. He suggested keeping to the 30 foot width. And, he emphasized the fact that since Council had taken previous actions, before his coming on the Council, he felt those commitments should be maintained. He noted he and Mayor TAPE #716 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes March 7, 1990 Page 19 of 23 Mentor were rookies at this and were not in on the discussion and decisions made last year. Mr. Horninu stated the Council did make a commitment in September and pointed out Resolution #2289(B) puts the linear park as a second priority, which would be his preference so that the lumber yard building comes down and cleaned up. He questioned if the Council supported the park without dollar figures would that not still allow the City to go out for a overwater park bid (hopefully concrete) and then look for funding for the linear park? Mr. Pratt stated the issue that the Mayor and he wanted to speak to is the concern over funding and what happens with the Turner Joy and that will probably not happen as quickly as the bids would come in on the boardwalk. Mr. Hornin~ stated by not supporting the original motion (Resolution ~2289) but supporting Resolution #2289(B}, which puts the linear park in second position in priority (which he believes is proper because of the commitment made to Olympic College and the community), it seems to him that the City will wait to see where the dollars come in and if there is only funding available for the boardwalk the City is still committed to the linear park in the future. Mr. Pratt stated it is the Mayor's and Administration's position that the first priorities are to do the 1st to 2nd Street, 2nd Street to Turner Joy and the PSNS Centennial Park and after their completion take up the other items at a secondary level. This does not preclude your suggestion of dealing with it later, the Administration proposes that it not be dealt with at this time. Mr. Hornin~ stated he disagreed only in that Council made a commitment in September 1989 to this public that the linear park be funded and he supports putting it in second position. Mr. Collins stated there are two major things that have happened since making that commitment in September: (1) now 994 sure that the Turner Joy will be afloat on the waterfront, which was not known before; (2) prior to the first of the year the %2 item in the Mayor's proposal is that a Centennial Plaza will be constructed. Prior to the first of the year there was no Centennial Plaza. The Council had no knowledge of anything except that a park would be placed on 2nd Street. Therefore, based on the changes that took place he supported Mayor Mentor's proposal. Mr. Colvin stated originally he was prepared to oppose the Mayor's proposal, however, he questioned if the plan nullifies the commitment made on the linear park? Mayor Mentor stated absolutely not - the City is remaining faithful to the concept and will work with a developer or Bremer Trust. President Horton stated according to the proposed motion supporting Resolution #2289, it calls for the City to work on "interim use" of that inner harbor line where the linear park is now proposed, which is in direct TAPE #716 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes March 7, 1990 Page 20 of 23 opposition to the plan that was adopted by the City Council in September 1989. Mr. Colvin questioned if the only permit that can be issued for that area is for the linear park? Mayor Mentor stated in order to do anything different at that site the City would have to go through a number of changes. He noted Dr. Connolly addressed the term of "interim use" when he stated the agreement was until something would be done there the Bremer Trust would use it for parking. What needs to be resolved is that the PSNS Centennial Plaza needs to be addressed at this time due to the fact that their centennial is in 1991. What isn't known is what funds will be available at the end of 1990. There is a possibility when a developer comes along the City would be in a position to work with that developer, which could mean additional funding for development of the park. The City has other projects, such as Smith Cove or the sports complex and funds will be needed to carry out development of those areas. Therefore, if the City waits until a developer comes along they may end up contributing an amount toward the park, such as $130,000, which would then free up City funds to be used on other park areas. Mr. Dawkins stated in past years concrete slabs were dumped along the shoreline and he is concerned about what kind of conditions the City will find along the shoreline and doubted the $30.00 per sq. ft., price quote for construction. He suggested waiting until a bid proposal identified actual costs before approving either resolution. He noted Flagship and the Bremerton Area Chamber of Commerce supported the linear park proposal and if a boardwalk is to be built he supported that it be extended to the Turner Joy. President Horton action at this time is to set priorities so that activities can go forward and bid proposals obtained and then review what the actual funding needs will be. Unless Council upholds support of the linear park and the commitment to the community, she felt it would just disappear. Mr. Johnson did support keeping the linear park as a priority but not in the position of "second place". He pointed out the need to keep the PSNS Centennial Park in second place due to time constraints. He stated the City's planning for the linear park should be done in conjunction with planning/development of the centennial park. He supported Resolution #2289(B) with slight amendment to the priority items. Mr. Collins expressed concern that placement of the harbor masters office placement had not been determined at this time and the decision as to where it will be placed was in the hands of the Port; therefore, he felt it would be advisable to place the linear park on the priority list as #4 with anticipation of a funding commitment by January 1992. TAPE #716 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes March 7, 1990 Page 21 of 23 Mr. Overson pointed out Resolution 2289(B) represents the best of what was being presented to Council. The (B) version includes the entirety of the waterfront development project that has been talked about by everyone for some time. Mr. Waibel stated if Resolution #2289 is not passed as presented, then version Resolution #2289(B) needs to be modified to place the linear park in final position, not second position. Mr. Colvin raised the question, for clarification, if Resolution #2289 is approved this would not nullify the linear park? Mr. Waibel. stated it would not nullify the park, it is still included in the plan and would be in fourth position. Ian Sievers, City Attorney, stated in Resolution #2289 it talks about an "interim use" for that land rather than as a park, which is the real distinction. The use defined for that area is different in each of the resolutions. Mr. Horninu pointed out development of the linear park would be of added benefit to the area for future uses such as fairs/festivals. If Resolution 2289(B) is adopted the Mayor would have all of the funding needed for the boardwalk in 1990 and as a follow on the park can be developed by either the City or a developer. ~1278 M/S/C/F(Waibel/Collins) to approve Resolution 2289, as presented. Vote: In Favor: Waibel, Collins, Colvin Opposed: Estes, Homing, Dawkins, Johnson, Overson, Horton Motion failed. Mr. Collins pointed out the resolutions do not identify the priority for getting to the Turner Joy and suggested adding it to the motion as position #3. Mr. Waibel stated there is no need to do that at this time as it would not be funded by City money. Mr. Hornina stated the Turner Joy access is identified under the section stating, "BE It Further Resolved..." of the ordinance. Mr. Pratt stated the Mayor's proposal was as follows: 1st priority - overwater park and Turner Joy access; 2nd priority Centennial Plaza; and 3rd priority - interim use of land. ~2379 M/S/C/(Johnson/Colvin) to approve Resolution #2289(B), regarding development schedule for central business district waterfront, and amended to place the inner harbor (linear) park in the same priority position as the PSNS Centennial - priority #2. Vote: In Favor: Homing, Dawkins, Johnson, Colvin, Overson, Estes, Horton, TAPE #716 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes March 7, 1990 Page 22 of 23 Opposed: Waibel, Collins President Homing stated the only difference between Resolution #2290 and Resolution #2290(B) is recognizing the Special Use Permit and the expansion of the Bremerton Lumber site provides landscape buffering for the PSNS Plaza and the inner harbor (linear) park. Mr. Collins stated it appears that the City is increasing the scope on what was intended in Resolution #2289 in that only the PSNS Centennial Plaza and inner harbor Dark was identified with no additional facilities for the area all the way up 2nd Street. President Horton stated by the inclusion of Item "H", which is in the motion, it refers to the PSNS Plaza and the inner harbor park because the Special Use Permit will provide a landscape buffering for that park area. She pointed out the PSNS Centennial Plaza would take in the area on 2nd Street from the inner harbor line to the alley and 30 ft., right-of-way. Mr. Waibel questioned if the City was part of the Special Use Permit application? Mr. Pratt stated no - but part of the findings of fact that led to the approval of that Conditional Use Permit was a findiDg that the Bremer Trust had cooperated with the City in furthering the City site plan and that the Trust plans for the area were in coordination with the City's. Mr. Connoll¥ stated the main buffering that will go along with the demolition of the Bremerton Lumber site is providing landscaping on their property to compliment the park. He assumed they would either coordinate their efforts with the City or in some fashion contribute toward City efforts in one central contract. Lastly, if the construction of the park is being moved back then he wants to make sure his 4 1/2 years time table starts from the time the park is actually completed. And, he did not want to go onto the Bremerton Lumber site and make improvements until he knows the work on the boardwalk (made of concrete) isn't going to destroy some of what he is going to do. Mr. Waibel pointed out Bremer's Trust income source from that property was not blocked by park construction or landscapin§activities. ~APE #717 Mayor Mentor thanked the City Council for their deliberations and he agrees whole heartily with Dr. Connolly - the issue is timing and cooperation of all the projects. Mr. Collins questioned if any of the Council's decisions had delayed the boardwalk? Mr. Pratt stated nothing was done to delay the boardwalk, it did delay the time of construction of the linear park as it was ready to go out to bid in 4-6 weeks with construction commencing in a couple of months. However, it is his feeling that construction on the boardwalk can be underway in 4-5 months. TAPE #716 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes March 7, 1990 Page 23 of 23 Mr. Collins questioned if there is a difference in the overall schedule now that Resolution #2289(B) was passed, which moved an integral part of this into a place where it should not be? Mr. Pratt stated no, the actions taken at this time did not lock the City into that strict a schedule. For example, the Ferry Terminal park is very close and ready to go as is the small pathway (fully funded) even though both of those are below the priority level it is his understanding that if he comes back with designs and funding Council will not have a problem with saying go ahead on them. Mr. Collins stated as there had not been a vote on Resolution #2290(B) since he made his last ballot he would like to change his ballot to concur with Resolution #2289(B). Mr. ~aibel stated based on the explanation just given and the fact that nothing has been lost on the final two projects he would like to change his vote on Resolution #2289(B), making it a unanimous vote for the resolution. ~0171 Mr. Colvin requested a reconsideration of the vote taken on Resolution #2289(B) Vote: A unanimous vote was cast for Resolution #2289(B) ~0182 M/S/C/U(Horning/Johnson) to approve Resolution #2290(B), regarding an amendment to Downtown Waterfront Boardwalk General Concept Plan.
