COUNCIL MEMBER REPORTS
Mr. Johnson announced the Bremerton Solid Waste Committee will hold
their first meeting on Thursday, July 19, 5:00 p.m., in the Council
Conference Room. He reconfirmed with all the State agencies their
pledge of support and assistance to the City in the area of solid
waste management.
Mr. Colvin reported he just returned from attending his 50th High
School Reunion in San Antonio, Texas. While there, he had the
opportunity to experience their one-way street system, which he
found to be difficult and he visited their City Hall and learned
that their City had many of the same concerns as the City of
Bremerton. He commented on their beautiful river park which
includes beautiful buildings and restaurants, and attracts many

visitors each year. On his flight back to Seattle, he had the
opportunity to use his Spanish speaking ability to assist a family
from Columbia, South America, who spoke very little english and
who are now settled in Bellevue. He plans to maintain contract
with this family.
Mr. Waibel referenced an article in the Seattle P.I., June 29,
1990, Bremerton was noticed in a positive way rather than a
negative way with a quarter page spread on the USS Turner Joy.
Mr. Horning wished Retiring Police Captain Dennis Plumb the very
best and apologized for not being able to attend his ceremony.
And, he extended congratulations to Deputy Chief Ken Hughes on his
having served 30 years on the City of Bremerton Fire Department.
He attended Council Of Governments most of today and the discussion
centered mostly on the major versus multiple center choices of
Vision 2020 and he suspected a compromise would be reached. He
noted the people were very concerned about the major center gaining
a lot of momentum because they are afraid if there are any number
of multiple centers that would amount to dispersed growth - which
is not what is desired.
Mr. Estes extended an apology to the Admiral Theater Foundation
group for the pressure he put on them during the last Council
meeting. He noted at that time he was not aware that their
organization had not been permitted inside the theater for the
first five months of the year. Now, understanding their difficulty
he would get behind them and help in any way you could.
Mr. Overson stated as representative for the downtown area he
thanked Kitsap County for their contribution to the USS Turner Joy
project. It was a very significant contribution and with that kind
of continued cooperation working together for a common goal could
make this County the best in the country.
PUBLIC RECOGNITION
Dan Crocker, outgoing General Manger of TCI Cable Company, bid the
Council farewell and announced he has been promoted and moving to
the Bellingham area to take over operations in that area. He
thanked the City Council for their cooperation and support during
these past five years. He introduced Dan Clark who will be the new
General Manager and who comes from the Olympia area. Dan Clark
stated he was excited about the opportunity to serve in Bremerton,
and noted he has a "hard act to follow", however, he and his wife
are looking forward to relocating to this area. And, he announced
they are counting the votes on whether or not CBUT will be
broadcast on local channels. Mr. Johnson stated he had been
working with TCI Cable since the inception of the Cable Franchise
in 1983-84 and since Dan Crocker came on board there had been a
TAPE #748
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
July 11, 1990
Page 3 of 12
total turn around with the Franchise and in spite of recent
bickering over CBUT, etc., the franchise had come a long way and
Mr. Crocker should be congratulated for his contributions. He
looked forwarded to continued cooperative efforts with TCI. Mr.
Waibel stated during Dan's leadership of TCI in this area Cable
access has become very valuable to the community and thanked him
for a job well done. Mr. Crocker stated he wished he could take
all the credit, however, as with any good manager he has a very
good support team as well as excellent volunteers who work out in
the community. Mr. Collins noted during the AWC conference he
heard many people complaining about their Cable access and many
were surprised over Bremerton's reaction and the good working
relationship that had been established with the local Cable
companies. Mr. Overson congratulated Mr. Crocker on a job well
done and extended best wishes on his promotion; and he emphasized
for Mr. Clark's sake - that there was room for improvement and he
suggested TCI put a sign on the TV noting when Council is taking a
break during the Council meeting, which would eliminate a blank
screen.
Don Lind~ren, owner Brem-Air Disposal, Inc., stated his company
held a contest for a Recycling Logo to be used on all their
strategically located collection bins. He thanked the judges for
their time and effort in determining the following winners: 3rd
Place - William Rieger, who received $100.00; 2nd Place - Carol
Phillips, who received $275.00; and 1st Place - Bill Brown, who
received $500.00. Bill Brown accepted his award and stated when
he first found out about the contest he thought it was just another
project he could undertake with his computer and he was pleasantly
surprised to actually win first place with his drawing. He noted
he has learned a lot through Olympic College and appreciated all
the support they have given him. Mr. Lindgren handed out an update
on recycling efforts, which reflected an increase of 24.994 in the
first six months of 1990 over 1989 recycling activities (1989 -
3,301,175 lbs., and first six months of 1990 - 4,126,036 lbs). Mr.
Johnson added that as a judge it was difficult to pick one winner
as all of the drawings had excellent ideas.
Don Munsford, 182 J Russell Rd., stated he did not see anything on
the Council Agenda relating to Roosevelt Field. Vice President
Dawkins explained that topic would be discussed during a Council
Study Session, which would be held immediately after the Council
meeting. Mr. Munsford pointed out the voters of Bremerton have
already decided they do not want park land sold.
6A - INFORMATION ITEM - BRMMERTON NAVAL MUSEUM, #AB90-175
John Law will present a short report on the operation of the Museum
over the past year.
TAPE #748
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
July 11, 1990
Page 4 of 12
John Law stated the Bremerton Naval Museum has approximately 30,000
visitors per year with a high of 4,000/month in the summer. Having
the museum located near the Ferry Terminal has been a real plus.
Having had the experience to visit 20 military museums from Austria
to the British Isles to Pearl Harbor - most of the ship memorials
and directors of the museums and ships, including an extended visit
behind the scenes at the Smithsonian Institute, he feels
experienced enough to be very proud of the Bremerton Naval Museum.
He encouraged everyone to stop and visit the museum, as they are
changing exhibits all the time. He passed out a copy of the Guest
Register for 1st of July, I - 5 PM, which logged in 94 visitors.
They identified 14 people or groups from foreign countries and 31
individuals or groups from out-of-state. The museum also has held
a number of reenlistment ceremonies and on occasion there will be
a retirement ceremony. He noted that many visitors come over from
Seattle as foot passengers and the museum has been the only
positive thing that is available for them to see in Bremerton for
the last three years. Following are questions most asked by
visitors:
(1) Is there a ship to visit? (2) What else is there to see? (3)
Where are the restaurants? (4) We came over to see the Missouri
where is it? (5) Questions about different ships and what happened
to them? (note: there is information in the museum that does tell
ship histories). The comment they hear most often is: it was
interesting, we will be back.
The latest listing of Pacific Rim Museums, both foreign and U.S.,
lists Bremerton as the only Naval Museum. Their comment on the
Bremerton Museum is as follows: "The jewel of a museum is located
appropriately near the U.S. Naval Shipyard. It enjoys a lovely
view of the water similar to the Los Angeles Maritime Museum and
other. We were greeted by the sight of an enormous brightly
shinned brass bell from the USS Bremerton. There were several
excellent airplane models, two missiles and models of the Aircraft
Carriers USS Hancock and USS Midway. A well planned and maintained
museum". And, Mr. Law announced they will be soon installing a
periscope, which has taken a three year effort by the museum to
obtain this new item.
Mr. Estes questioned what could this City Council do to encourage
the volunteers to stay on the job and how can we make it better for
them? Mr. Law stated the first thing is to stop down and say hello
and listen to their concerns. Secondly, give them assurance that
the City will continue their support of the museum. Thirdly, they
are in desperate need for more room. There are many more items
that could be put on display if space was available. Mr. Estes
questioned what is going to be done on the New Jersey blinker
light? Mr. Law stated the museum would like to place the signal
TAPE #748

some place, however, he is concerned about it rusting through in
several spots and he is looking into how to go about getting it
sandblasted to stop further rusting.
Mr. Colvin pointed out that the volunteers who have served the
citizens and the City of Bremerton in this endeavor have not
received public recognition and he thanked them for a job well
done. Mr. Law thanked Mr. Colvin for his comments and requested
the City's assistance in getting some publicity out that volunteers
are needed. Vice President Dawkins requested the City Clerk to put
a message on the Cable Access Character Generator seeking
volunteers to work in the Naval Museum.
6B - BUDGET ADJUSTMENT REOUEST - VIDEO ARRAIGNMENT EOUIPMENT
PURCHASE, #AB90-176
Budgeted funds are $37,500, total expenditure will be $50,000.
Adjustment of $12,500 is needed to complete purchase for video
arraignment system.
Kathleen McCluskey, City Clerk, stated this item had been reviewed
by Council Fiscal and Budget Committee.
Kathy Johnston, Court Administrator, stated Fiscal and Budget
Committee recommended approval of this proposal. Because of tight
budgets, $37,500 was budgeted with the hope that Kitsap County
would participate in the program, however, they did not budget any
funds for this endeavor.
Public comment invited - none received.
Mr. Overson stated Fiscal and Budget Committee recognizes that this
is probably one of the more valuable investments the City can make
and thereby acknowledged its value even at the $50.000 cost.
Mr. Johnson stated he agreed with increasing the budget by $12,500,
however, he did not agree with the source of the funds coming from
Ending Cash. He felt, particularly in the Police Department, there
have been a number of unfilled positions, which Council had
directed to be filled early on in the year, but were still empty.
He suggested transferring the money from the Police Department to
the Municipal Court budget to purchase the equipment since they did
not hire someone to work in Animal Control. Kathleen McCluskey,
City Clerk, noted this is from Fund 103, which is where the funds
were budgeted originally, which is the Capital Expenditures, so
they went back to that fund to provide the additional funding
needed. At this point, it is not known where the Police Budget
will end up by the end of the year even with the late hire of new
police off.icers, she felt a little uncomfortable taping into those
funds at this time. Mr. Johnson emphasized the Police Chief was

TAPE #748

requested to bring the staffing up for six months. Ms. McCluskey
stated the new officers were not scheduled to come until May of
1990 and their funding was not for the full year.
Mr. Overson suggested approving the budget adjustment as written
and the Council Fiscal and Budget Committee take under study Mr.
Johnson's recommendation of where it ultimately comes from and part
of that provide a report to Council on funding for manning in the
Police Department.
Mr. Morning questioned clarification on what is Fund 1037 Ms.
McCluskey stated it was Cumulative Reserve, the Capital Reserve
Fund. Mr. Hornin~ questioned where the funds came from for that
reserve? Ms. McCluskey stated $100,000 per year has been added to
the Cumulative Reserve and it comes from General Fund revenues.
Mr. Morning questioned if there was accounting on that fund? Ms.
McCluskey stated she did not have the exact amount in the fund,
however, she did know that there was far in excess of the $12,500
requested. Mr. Morning requested Ms. McCluskey to provide a memo
to Council giving a status report on that account.
M/S/C/U(Colvin/Horning) to approve to the Budget Adjustment as
presented.
6C - BUDGET ADJUSTMENT REOUEST - STREET DEPARTMENT, eAB90-177
Due to department workload, the Maintenance Electrician of the
Electronics Division of the Street Department is working out of his
job description. An upgrade to Electronic Technician is requested.
The City Sign Shop would like to purchase a Sign Making System.
This system will be a more effective way of making the signs
necessary for the City traffic control.
Ken Brees, Street Superintendent, stated when the City got out of
the CENCOM contract staffing went from four technicians, one
Foreman and an electricians down to 3 technicians, one foreman and
one electrician. What they found was that the electricians are
working in the area of technician of traffic signals, etc., and
CENCOM could not do quite what they thought they could do and hired
City staff back on at an hourly basis for some of their work.
Therefore, what is needed is the other technician and the person
trained in that area needs to be brought into the classification
where they belong. He pointed out the change would be a minimum
amount of money - less than $1,000 for a whole year and it does
keep the City out of trouble with the Union and Civil Service as to
proper job classifications issues.
The sign making machine is something they have been considering for
about three years. Kitsap County kept saying they were going to
TAPE #748
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
July 11, 1990
Page 7 of 12
purchase the system, however, they have not done so and the City is
in need of such a system to keep up with the demand for signs.
Since there is only one outlet in the western portion of the State
to purchase such signs, there is generally a back log on orders,
especially during the summer months. He noted had the City had
this machine earlier the new parking signs could have been up by
now. And, he explained he moved some funds out of what use to be
a clearing account for vacation/sick leave line item.
Public comment invited - none received.
Mr. Estes stated he was in support of the proposal, however, he
questioned why street directional signs are missing on Pacific
Avenue? Mr. Brees explained that the smaller street signs were
removed at the time the light poles were painted and it is his
intent to make the new signs larger, making them more visible.
Mr. Overson pointed out from information provided by staff the City
could save the cost of the sign making system within a three year
period. This would be direct savings and it does not address
indirect savings.
Mr. Waibel emphasized the proposed sign making system would be more
economically labor intensive and possibly Kitsap County will use
the services available.
#1575
M/S/C/U(Colvin/Johnson) to approve the Budget Adjustment request to
upgrade the Maintenance Electrician to Electronics Technician and
to approve purchase of the Sign Making System.
6D - ADDMUM TO LABOR AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF
BREMERTON AND BREMERTON PATROLMAN'S ASSOCIATION, #AB90-178
The attached Addendum to Agreement amends and modifies the labor
agreement between the City and the Bremerton Patrolman's
Association to include the classification of Police Sergeant. All
of the terms of the existing agreement will apply to Police
Sergeant except for the following amendments:
Article 6. Wages -- Appendix A: A five step structure replaces the
existing single wage rate which has been 11.64 above a Senior
Patrol Officer rate. The new structure decreases this differential
for a newly appointed probationary Sergeant to 5.8~. Annual
advancements to subsequent steps in the Sergeant classification
increase wage rates by approximately 24 each year. The fifth and
final step in the Sergeant range is 154 above a Senior Patrol
Officer.
Section 6.4: The step plan is made effective during the first year
of the agreement (1989) and subsequent wage adjustments are the
TAPE #748
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
July 11, 1990
Page 8 of 12
same as are included in the three-year agreement with the Patrol
Officers: (1990) 54 7/1/90; (1991) 34 1/1/91; and a 54 10/1/91.
Four of the nine existing Sergeants have less than three years as
a Sergeant. These employees will have the former 11.64
differential maintained until such time as each of them concludes
a full three years in the classification and qualifies for the
fourth step where the differential is 12.64.
Section 6.2 "C": Modifications to these sections were needed as
the result of changing the Sergeant wage structure from a single
rate to a step plan. The sections specify what is to occur upon
promotion from Patrol Officer to Sergeant and when a Patrol Officer
is temporarily assigned "Acting Sergeant" duties.
Section 7.2 "D": Provides for assignment to shifts for Sergeants
appropriate to the Police Chief's needs for proper coverage of the
City's police services by the classification.
Caroline Marshall, Personnel Director, reported this proposal will
conclude negotiations with all of the represented Labor
organizations with the City and she pointed out this is the first
time since 1985 the City has been current with every organization
at the same time. And, she recommended that Council approve the
proposal as presented.
Public comment invited - none received.

7A - ORDINANCE (FIRST READING) AMENDING PENALTIES FOR POSSESSION OF
FORTY (40) GRAMS OR LESS OF MARIJUANA, #AB90-179
The State Legislature has pre-empted the field of drug enforcement,
which makes the current Bremerton ordinance unenforceable as
written.
Our current ordinance makes it a criminal offense to manufacture,
grow or possess any amount of marijuana. There is no current
minimum penalty, and the maximum penalty is forty (40) days in jail
and a $300 fine.
The State Statute defines manufacture, including growing, as a
felony, and therefore not within our Court's jurisdiction.
However, possession of forty (40) grams or less of marijuana is a
misdemeanor, and carries a maximum sentence of ninety (90) days and
#1961
TAPE #748
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
July 11, 1990
Page 9 of 12
a $1,000.00 fine. It also establishes minimum penalties for first
and second or subsequent offenses, and requires the court to give
written reasons for suspending or deferring the minimum penalty.
Ian Sievers, City Attorney, stated the minimum penalty for a first
offense is $250.00 and 24 hours in jail, which is similar to the
mandatory jail time the State imposed for a DWI, a few years ago.
Public comment invited - none received.
Mr. Johnson referenced on a second or subsequent offense he
questioned how long would someone spend in jail? Mr. Siever~
stated it would be the same minimum - one day for the second
offence but the fine would be increased.
Mr. Waibel expressed his feeling that the City may want to increase
jail time served getting these offenders off the street. Mr.
Sievers stated the Court is not restricted as the Judge still has
the maximum jail time of 90 days and Mr. Sievers felt it was very
unlikely that the Judge would only impose one day on a second
offense.
Mr. Colvin pointed out the Court can also impose a larger fine than
$250.00.
Mr. Dawkins questioned if these type of cases would be handled over
the video arraignment system? Mr. Sievers stated it is a jailable
offense so the offender would be taken into custody and it is
anticipated a lot of these offenders will be arraigned through the
video process.
Mr. Waibel expressed concern that there is a minimum fine, however,
as it is written that fine would be dismissed or deferred if the
offender was an indigent. He did not support dismissing the fine
but did feel it could be deferred as financial circumstances of
individuals can change. And, he questioned if the City would be
pre-empted from suspending the fine on a misdemeanor for indigents?
Mr. Sievers stated the City can be more restrictive, however, the
language in the Ordinance is exact copy of the State statute
section. Then, as Mr. Waibel proposed the offender would be
serving out time rather than deferring such fine due to their being
an indigent and to his understanding this would be permissible-
M/S/C/U(Waibel/Collins) to approve Ordinance, on first reading,
changing penalties for possession of marijuana, and amending
Chapter 9.88 of the Bremerton Municipal Code, including eliminating
the word "or deferred" in Section 2, next to the last sentence.

8A - PUBLIC HEARING - SIX YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
1991-1996, AND APPROVING RESOLUTION #2304 1991-1996
RCW 37.77.010 requires the City to update its Transportation
Improvement Program annually and file a copy of the adopted program
with the Secretary of Transportation.
Projects utilizing FAUS, UAB or Arterial Street Funds must be on
the approved Transportation Improvement Program before funding can
be considered.
Jan Stemkoski, Assistant City Engineer, stated the format for this
proposal is similar to those presented the last few years.
Projects 1 - 8 are the major projects that take place on arterial
streets and the projects they would be requesting FAUS and TIP
funds. Projects 9 - 11 are miscellaneous projects that are
included each year. Projects 12 - 52 are the local projects, which
TAPE #748
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
July 11, 1990
Page 11 of 12
are all funded by the local Arterial Street Fund. The priority
listing for projects 12-52 are moved up each year and any new
projects are added after the last one from the previous year.
In reference to the first 8 projects, Mr. Stemkoski requested that
the priorities be changed as follows: (a) Project #6 -Central
Business District One Way Traffic System be moved to Project #2 and
then all other projects moved down one position.
Public Comment invited - none received.
M!- Johnson stated the last unpaved street in the City of Bremerton
has been on the bottom of the list since he has served on the
Council - Lakehurst Drive. Mr. Stemkoski stated Lakehurst Drive is
a unique street, which has never been paved. Most local streets
are improved through L.I.D. or other form of funding. Right now
they are working with the residents in that area to form a L.I.D.
and they are hoping improvements can be accomplished through this
process. And, the reason it has stayed on the bottom of the list
is that it never has been improved. Mr. Johnson stated he agreed
with moving Project #6 to position #2, but, he also suggested
moving "Burwell/6th Street One Way Couplet to position #3 so that
it could compliment whatever might be done with the Gorst connector
road. He did not have any problem with the following projects:
Project #4 - Warren Avenue Off Ramp; Project #5 would be 11th
Street/Chester To Warren; Project #6 - Kitsap Way Welson Drive to
Auto Center Way; Project #7 - Kitsap Way to llth Street & Marine
Drive; Project #8 - Kitsap Way & Marine Drive Intersection; and he
suggested taking all funds allocated for Project #7 and #8 and move
them up to support projects 1-6.
Mr. Colvin stated he was concerned about a project listed in his
District and he intended to look into it with the Engineering
Department at a later time.
Mr. Horning questioned if the money was reallocated from Projects
#7 and #8 - what does it do to the FAUS funds...will the City loose
them? Mr. Stemkoski stated they can transfer FAUS funds from any
approved FAUS project to another FAUS approved project. At this
time, the two one way street options have not been approved by FAUS
- once the proposed plan is adopted the projects scheduled for the
next year would be submitted to FAUS for their approval. And, once
they are approved by FAUS then the funds could be taken off Project
#7 and #8 and moved up to the new other streets. He noted there
was just a token amount of money in the Marine Drive project. Mr.
Morning questioned if it would be acceptable using the FAUS formula
to leave the funds in tack as requested, get all approvals through
the process and then have Engineering come back with a list of
project that are ready to move ahead and identifying the project
#2629
TAPE #748
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes

Page 12 of 12
funds that could be reallocated? Mr. Stemkoski stated yes, as long
as the City submits the projects, as identified by Mr. Johnson, to
FAUS for approval of FAUS funds.
Mr. Overson stated he felt Mr. Stemkoski understood Council's
intent regarding the Marine Drive intersection project, that there
are some fluctuating situations in that area that need to be
resolved before the City undertakes that project.
Mr. Johnson questioned what is the procedure to notify the
Department of streets and areas to be included for next years plan
- particularly 6th Street from Montgomery to Rodgers, as well as
Kitsap Way past Westpark area? Mr. Stemkoski stated in order to
have items included he suggested a written notice be sent to the
Engineering Department listing the areas and then it would be the
departments responsibility to inspect those areas when determining
what to include in the plan.
M/S/C/U(Johnson/Waibel) to approve Resolution #2304, taking the
FAUS funded projects (8 total) new priorities as: Project #7
Kitsap Way 11th Street To Marine Drive; Project #4 Warren Avenue
Off Ramp; Project #5 11th Street Chester Avenue to Warren Avenue;
Project #6 Kitsap Way Welson Drive To Auto Center Way; Project #2
Central Business District One Way Traffic System; Project #3
Burwell/6th Street One Way Couplet; Project #8 Kitsap Way Marine
Drive Intersection; and included would be Council's intent to take
the money from the bottom project (Project #8) to complete as many
of the higher priority projects possible during the year.
With no further business meeting adjourned at 6:54 p.m..
