Dicks' office to each member of the U. S. Navy and U. S. Marine Corps who participated in the clean up, to go into their record, showing the City's appreciation of their time and efforts. He stated his hope that next year there will be a MINUTES City Council Meeting May 30, 1990 Page 2 of 14 #0116 #0133 #0145 #0184 #0222 backdrop behind the flagpoles. He stated the Veteran's ceremony was well attend and a beautiful ceremony. Mr. Estes stated on Tuesday morning Gregory Way became a one-way street and the citizens are happy about that. He asked that everyone be especially careful for the next few weeks until drivers become used to this as a one-way street. Mr. Estes stated he and Michele Windsor of the Parks Department walked up 5th Street and talked with residents about trees damaging the sidewalks. People are agreeable that the trees should be removed and replanted with trees more suitable for sidewalk planting. Mr. Horning wished Westpark Resident Association well with the upcoming "Kids versus Drug Parade". Mr. Horning thanked Jim and Lois Wooten and the Bremerton Dart Association for the great tournament over the weekend. He stated several Council members attended, it was a lot of fun and people enjoyed Bremerton. Mr. Waibel stated he is happy to be back in rainy Bremerton after spending 10 days in sunny southern California. He stated Disneyland is better than ever; they spent time going to all the tourist attractions and had a great time. Mr. Colvin stated since the last Council meeting, he attended a reception for senior citizens of District #1 sponsored by East Bremerton Olympic Savings and Loan; it was a pleasure to see seniors who have been vacationing down south and are now back in Bremerton. He stated it was an elaborate affair and extended his appreciation to Terri Hartson and Olympic Savings and Loan. Later he attended the dedication ceremonies of the new east side Fire Station and saw former Fire Chief Ted Tillet. Mr. Colvin stated Chief Chet Meigs was Master of Ceremonies and his skill contributed greatly to the occasion. Ms. Horton stated the Parks Department is planning to remove trees by Ivy Green Cemetery as they are a hazard and causing problems with overhead wires. They are being removed and replaced in cooperation with Puget Power and she is hoping the area outside the fence will look as nice as it now looks inside the fence. Many people have been working to spruce up Ivy Green and this will be a nice addition. Ms. Horton also attended the Dart Tournament, it was great fun and she offered congratulations to Mr. Wooten. PUBLIC RECOGMITION Mayor Mentor read a proclamation recognizing the National Management Association is a professional, non-profit association dedicated to improving the quality and promote unity in management by education and fellowship and proclaiming June 4 - 9, 1990 as Management Week. Janet Baxter, President of Lockheed Bangor MINUTES City Council Meeting May 30, 1990 Page 3 of 14 #0353 #0428 Chapter of National Management Association, accepted the proclamation. Mayor Mentor read a proclamation recognizing the Navy League of the United States and proclaiming June 1, 1990 as Navy League Day. Reg Robinson, President of Bremerton Peninsula Navy League accepted the proclamation and stated the Navy League is holding its National Convention June 2 - 6 in Portland. Mayor Mentor stated the model of the Veterans Memorial is currently on display at Naval Regional Medical Center and they, along with the VFW and American Legion, have a petition to locate the memorial in Bremerton. In two days the Naval Hospital has acquired 250 signatures on the petition and there is much support toward this effort. Michael Hosea, 1544 Elizabeth, discussed a newspaper article regarding plans for 600 new housing units to be built in the City. She asked if they plan to blight an area or neighborhood in order to do this? Ms. Horton explained public recognition is for public input, Council does not respond back at this time. Ms. Hosea stated her understanding from reading the article, is property would be blighted and condemned and property owners would be given a small amount for it and moved out, a public agency would come in, bulldoze and rebuild. She stated the City does not have a lot of open space in which to build 600 houses. All over Bremerton there are 30 ft. lots with high density, and legally, houses cannot be built on 30 ft. lots unless they are multi-story houses. Therefore, the government could buy 200 house and only be able to house, maybe, 125 families on the same property. Ms. Hosea feels the public needs more explanations, detailed maps of whose property is being removed from private rolls and going public, and for whom. She stated the City is the best buy in town for low-income owners and low-income renters. Ms. Horton stated there will be a study session after the executive session on this issue, and invited Ms. Hosea to attend. Laura Klinsky, Westpark Resident Council, invited Council to attend the "Kids vs Drug Parade" this Saturday, June 2nd, and introduced committee members. Kelly McLaughlin, Chairman for the Parade, discussed the community support in the form of donations and moral support. She stated a rally will follow the parade. The parade route is through Westpark starting at Russell Road and ending at Arsenal Way. T-shirts, donated by 40-Thiefs, were distributed to Council members. Ms. Horton stated Council will attempt to have representation at the parade on Saturday. Donations can be made to Westpark Resident MINUTES City Council Meeting May 30, 1990 Page 4 of 14 #0509 #0648 #0689 Council, Kids vs Drugs. Jim Wooten, 6965 Chico Way, discussed the Dart Tournament and stated they set every record that has been set in 10 years, including having three Council members and their spouses attend. He thanked Lon and Ellie Overson, Spence and Fran Horning, and Frank and Lynn Horton for their participation. Mr. Wooten stated the Quality Inn had over 300 guests for the tournament; the VCB came forth with flyers and brochures, etc. As a result, a number of people went to the Naval Museum. He thanked VCB for their support and stated the Dart Tournament's stay at home sales were $35,000. This is the tourist season and Mr. Wooten encouraged everyone to do what they can for the community in this effort. Monday was the Regional All-Stars play-off which encompasses Washington, Oregon, northern California, Idaho and Alaska. Those people are the supreme darters of their areas. Lois is going to Las Vegas in August to represent this area and challenge the east coast. From there she goes to Canada and then England and that all transpired here in downtown Bremerton. Jim Strait, 6530 Harlow, stated he is already receiving calls about speed and noise of boats on Kitsap Lake and it isn't even boating season yet. He feels the City needs to find a way to put a patrol on the lake. He has talked with the Parks Department and stated they need some regulations on ski boats. The jet skis are noisy, run into the beach and children, and the City needs to start thinking now about solving these problems. Don Larson, 135 Rainier, stated he's had an on-going dispute with Brem-Air and has received a letter from their attorney, Mr. Kamps, stating he owes $90.38. He stated he has put out one can of garbage and paid $20, which he considers to be in accordance with ordinance #1905, Sections 604,120 and 130. He feels he's paid in full and wrote Mr. Kamps to that effect. Mr. Larson stated he is sort of a fanatic recycler, he isn't home much and doesn't create much garbage, so doesn't need the weekly service. He has told this to Brem-Air in five letters but they don't acknowledge his letters. He asked the City to look very closely at the contract, he stated there are six paragraphs he finds questionable and would like answers from the City. He stated Mr. Kamps informed him he will take action against him on Thursday. Mr. Larson will also be talking to an attorney, but feels he has done his part. Mr. Larson is trying to get fair service for all Bremerton residents and feels there should be a mechanism for those people who don't have a full can of garbage every week. He stated the contract says all City buildings and dwellings shall be kept clean and he doesn't feel Brem-Air is doing their job. Mr. Larson shared pictures with Council taken at 119, Rainier, 139 Rainier and 107-1/2 Rainier with MINUTES City Council Meeting May 30, 1990 Page 5 of 14 #0950 garbage and litter that has been there for a year or more. He also shared pictures of Brem-Air property with refuse piled up. He stated he isn't concerned with the $1.75 minimum charge but is concerned with the ecology and recycling. Ms. Horton stated she was in contact with Mr. Sievers today and he will be sending Mr. Larson a letter stating the City's position. Ms. Horton stated item 7B will be taken out of order and will follow item 8B. KITSAP COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CODICIL & BREMERTON/KITSAP COUNTY VISITORS & CONVENTION BUREAU - FIRST OUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT #AB90-128 There is no requirement for Council action. Representatives from both organizations are here to present quarterly activity reports and to answer any questions that Council members may have concerning the expenditure of City funds allocated for operations. Earle Smith, President of Economic Development Council, stated EDC has a contract with the City in the amount of $10,000 with six tasks included in the contract. Task 1: Work cooperatively and in a proactive manner with other local organizations to assist the City in implementing its highest priority for 1990; i.e. economic restructuring, design, promotion, organization and general revitalization of the central business district. Mr. Smith expressed opinion that the consensus of organizations combined to come up with a ferry plan that was forwarded to the governor indicates they have come together to speak with one voice and with consensus. He views this as increasing as we're getting cross pollination within City and County organizations, such as Bremerton Area Chamber of Commerce, Visitor and Convention Bureau, and Flagship City '90 by board memberships. Mr. Smith feels EDC also works well with Bremerton Main Street even though there is no cross pollination of board members. Mr. Smith continues to serve on a number of Flagship action task forces and also serves as staff to the Flagship Executive Board. Results to date on the Turner Joy project are more than worth the time spent on this project. A great deal of effort has and continues to go into access to the city, parking and affordable housing. Task 2: Take the lead responsbility for collecting and analyzing data required to develop a business retention program and program MINUTES City Council Meeting May 30, 1990 Page 6 of 14 to attract new business to the CBD, then work cooperatively with Main Street and Flagship to ensure implementation of these programs. EDC assisted 250 businesses in the last quarter; they spent 3.6 hours with 143 of those businesses; 135 were procurement type businesses; 110 were walk-ins. They taught four courses in Small Business Assistance. Mr. Smith feels the college is one of the City's major assets. He is on three committees at O.C., one of which is Engineering and Business Committee. They have developed curriculum to teach 13 courses on Saturdays, in which all businesses could use some input. There is an asset there which they have tapped and can continue to tap. The Career Connection, ran at the college with PSNS, Bangor, EDC, Chamber all are co-sponsors, with the five largest employers in the county, discussing where jobs will be in the 90s and training needed, shows they are working together. There will be no free programs, no federal give-aways in the future. The County and City will have to pull with the private sector to make it work and Mr. Smith feels they are headed in that direction. Task 3: Continue to represent the City's interest in the Team Washington program, including update of Industrial Site Inventory and new Community Profile. Mr. Smith worked directly with Don Pratt making great input into that. Interestingly, Kitsap County is short of industrial sites. He stated two days ago he called Paula Johnston and told her a business wants to locate on Wheaton Way and requested input as how retail sales on Wheaton Way are doing. A day later he received the information that a year ago they were up 2% and last year there was a 14% increase in retail sales. Mr. Smith stated this is the type of things to do in order to make the things work in order to put new business in Bremerton. New community profiles will be submitted in September. Task 4: Continue to operate the Business Assistance Program for procurement of local federal contract by city businesses. The good news is, they continued to do better than expected. Through March they came up with $1.6 million, through today came up with $6.4 million in contracts with the federal government. Through today they've developed 150 jobs, only 30% of businesses signed up in this program are in Bremerton, but 83% of Bremerton businesses are the ones more active in business; 78% received contract awards; 62% of the money is in Bremerton, and 67% of the MINUTES City Council Meeting May 30, 1990 Page 7 of 14 jobs are in Bremerton. This says the Bremerton business community is active. The bad news is, EDC lost their primary funding of $32,500 from Private Industry Council, but Mr. Smith is working on replacing that funding. That program cost $66,00; $10,000 comes from the City; $25,000 from the County which pays for the overhead; and $32,500 went into operation of the business. Task 5: Define, collect, analyze and monitor economic indicators for the CBD with Community Development Director. Mr. Smith performed a comparison of tax rates for Bremerton and Kitsap County, to find out why it would make sense to place a business in the county if the same business could be done in Bremerton with better services and it didn't cost any more. This comparison was performed to try and clear up the perception that it costs more to run a business in the city. The difference is so small it doesn't make sense. Mr. Smith also came up with an analysis of what an annexation would cost. For a $100,000 home on Rocky Point annexation would cost $109; a $75,000 home on Pine would cost $69; and a $50,000 home in Navy Yard City would cost $52. With the services and infrastructure, the City should be able to sell that idea. Based on B&O Tax, how much does it cost per sq. ft. of rental space based on sales per year. Mr. Smith came up with a sheet that tells a person how much more it would cost in B&O tax to be in the City. Those are the type of numbers that make sense in trying to figure the bottom line from a business point of view. When trying to raise revenues, which you want to do, it shows what will be the effect on small business in Bremerton while raising revenues. Mr. Smith sees many positive things happening now in the City. Task 6: Actively solicit funds to be utilized in the economic development/restructuring of the City of Bremerton. Regarding the Turner Joy project, $6,000 has actively been solicited from the Port, this is a plus; solicited $250,000 from the State, this is a plus; funding from the private sector to date is $199,000, another plus. The project would not be where it is today if the City had not put in the marketing money of $38,000. And then there is the EDC grant of $811,000, chaired by Connie Devaney. Mr. Collins stated there are a significant number of trucks that service the active fleet in the shipyard and asked Mr. Smith if it is mostly local businesses or out of town businesses servicing MINUTES City Council Meeting May 30, 1990 Page 8 of 14 #2025 the active fleet? Mr. Smith stated the Supply Center handles 3,000 procurement contracts a month. Most states get 16% of those contracts, we are getting 12% and are trying to put small businesses in contact with those jobs by letting them know a contract exists. If they want to bid, we can help them with the bid. Are we doing better than we were, yes; are we where we should be, no, because many of the businesses are afraid to bid government contracts. It's beneficial to let the small businesses know they will receive the assistance to bid contracts in proper specs and that they will get paid. Mr. Collins asked if the City can help in some way or do something that would inspire the local business people to get into this mode? Mr. Smith stated most people don't realize that if the government doesn't pay within 30 days they can be sued and we will help them do this. Mr. Overson stated Mr. Smith has a difficult and complex job and the City is fortunate to have his efforts and energies. He stated this is a good report and he feels they can have a positive outlook on the economic future of the City. Ms. Horton stated recently two businesses have closed; one due to a retirement; the other needed space to expand, the building owner wasn't interested in expanding, so the business left the community. She asked Mr. Smith if he hears of these cases and can he become involved? He responded when he hears it is usually too late. He stated there is no financing now, the state doesn't help in that area. They have found that for every dollar to retain a business, it takes $4 to start a business so retention is definitely the in thing. He stated the SBA just changed their lending program. It used to be for every $15,000 borrowed one job had to be produced; now $25,000 can be borrowed for one job. He stated due to financing it will be difficult to start a business, so emphasis should be placed on retaining current businesses. Mr. Colvin admired Mr. Smith's enthusiasm and felt it has rubbed off on Council. He asked if Mr. Smith is City or County oriented? Mr. Smith responded he is County oriented, but the County and his Board have basically said that Bremerton, as Kitsap's largest city, is the area that probably needs as much help as any area in the County and if he spends more time helping Bremerton, it is what the County feels he should be doing. Mr. Colvin raised the issue of annexation and Mr. Smith stated if a resident can get more by being in the City, he should be annexed, if not he probably should remain in the County. Mim Heuss, Director of Visitor and Convention Bureau, stated the Bureau's first task was similar to EDC in working cooperatively MINUTES City Council Meeting May 30, 1990 Page 9 of 14 with other community organizations and promoting the waterfront and revitalization of downtown. The Bureau is still very actively involved in the Turner Joy project; VCB has given them office space in their facility, including use of office equipment and staff. As the Director, Ms. Heuss serves on the Ship Association and sees daily the success of the project. Ms. Heuss reminded Council that four years ago, Council was the only group not discouraged; the only people who said that's a good project for Bremerton and it can be done. In addition to the $38,000, they have been very supportive and that's the reason the project is where it is today. Also, Clyde Stricklin, President of VCB, has worked with Mr. Smith and Ms. Devaney on the EDA grant for the waterfront. Task 2: Foster and promote tourism in the convention industry. Ms. Heuss stated that's what the Bureau is all about; what we are, what we do, and why we exist. In the first four months the Bureau booked 5,691 room nights and conventions, which represents $426,425. Using the State's multiplying factor of 2.5, that generates back into $1,670,062. That is considerable dollars that will be generated through the community from the convention side. The Bureau has been active this quarter with familiarizing tours for groups coming in; part of the success is because they've heard what is happening on the Bremerton waterfront. A German group of writers will be coming to Bremerton soon, the Bureau will take them around Bremerton and the peninsula. The waterfront is a prime target as they'll be writing for people coming into our area in the next few years and Bremerton will look a great deal different then. The Bureau has accomplished a great deal with bus tours and other groups coming into Bremerton. This is possible now as the ferry slip is complete and a loaded bus can cross. Bainbridge Island and Edmonds will now have some competition for tour groups. Servicing of conventions has been the largest part of the Bureau's work load the past four months and that is developing into the major task of the Bureau. Ms. Heuss discussed an exciting project they've been working on with the "Goodwill Games". The Bureau was able to with work the games on being part of their daily program in the Seattle area. It is a daily 72 page program which many people will be keep as a souvenir. The Bureau worked with the games for an ad without it costing the Bureau or Bremerton any dollars. Eight businesses agreed to support the Bureau on this project and the Bureau now has $20,000 worth of advertizing that will go into the program. The ad will be a full page; this is the only County, only Bureau, only community in the State who will have a tourism ad in the program. The Bureau has also published a calendar of events for the County and it is important to all the people and organizations who have MINUTES City Council Meeting May 30, 1990 Page 10 of 14 activities going to contact the Bureau about their events, as they are the clearing house and calendar of events people. They still provide the Visitor Guide for Bremerton and the County and just published a new guide. Task 3: Working with the State legislature on developing and passing legislation. Ms. Heuss has averaged 2 - 3 days a week in Olympia to prevent passage of certain legislation and worked as a good between on lobbying to keep the local option tax. That also will be an issue in the session next year and Ms. Heuss will attend a meeting in July, again stating why they feel the local option tax is necessary. Bremerton is being used as an example of what can be done with local option tax. As president of Washington Association of Convention and Visitor Bureaus, Ms. Heuss attended more hearings than normal and has more insight into some lobbying and legislation trying to be presented for the next session, and of putting together many state bureaus to form a steering committee, which in turn will form a statewide tourism coalition, to work with Olympia on the importance of keeping the hotel/motel tax in the local communities. Task 4: Encourage people in the private sector of the economy to become members of the Bureau. They realized early on their budget would be in trouble by the end of the year because tourism and convention services is far exceeding what they budgeted for. They have a full time membership person who is soliciting and selling Bureau memberships. Since March 15, the Board has 70 new members, so they should see memberships more than double by the end of the year. They will not see dollar profit this year due to the cost of hiring a person and services but next year they should reap the benefits. 5: Analyze and report the need of public meeting space within the City. The Board works with meeting space on a daily basis, receiving 4 or 5 calls a day. This is a project they have not pushed as it does not relate directly to tourism. They do plan to put more emphasis on this as there are several groups looking for meeting space. Task 6: Concerns continuing working with hotels and motels. It is almost impossible for a Visitor and Convention Bureau to exist without an excellent working relationship with the hotel properties. In 1988 a countywide lodge association was formed and while they are not real active, it is active enough they get MINUTES City Council Meeting May 30, 1990 Page 11 of 14 together when necessary. The convention manager of the Bureau calls on hotel properties almost weekly. In April, they served as convention liaison for a group of 1,700 the Bureau booked into the pavilion and filled every hotel room plus in the county. The Bureau served as the housing association for that, all reservations came into the Bureau's office, which was done at the request of hotels and the convention. They learned they cannot do that again until staff and dollars are increased. It will not prevent them from booking large groups, but they will have to find a way to fund those types of projects. Task 7: Actively solicit funds to be utilized in the promotion of tourist and convention activities. The Board has a summer intern, which they are excited about. Between the City and County, funds for this intern were found. This will enable the Bureau to be open on Saturdays and the intern will assist during the week. Additionally, the intern will be calling on hotel properties with the new tax form to show them where the spot on the form is indicating that 2% comes back to the City. If that spot isn't marked that 2% does not come back. Ms. Heuss expressed opinion that the Bureau is doing it's job, maybe too well. It is growing out of proportion; there are staff and finance problems as they didn't anticipate that growth. With the Turner Joy project and what is developing on the waterfront, they could become three times bigger than they are now, so they need to increase the budget if they are to serve the tourism industry in the way it should be served. Mr. Waibel stated last year there was an attempt to increase the hotel/motel tax and asked Ms. Heuss where that is in the legislature. Ms. Heuss responded it is dead; the major focus in Olympia this year was keeping that tax. Part of the purpose of forming the tourism coalition is to report back to legislators on what the communities are doing with that 2% and why those 2% dollars are vital to the state's economy. If an area needs to increase their tax to keep up with other areas, the state could say yes, we approve that. It was a consensus of the larger bureaus there will not be an increase in tax until all bureaus are working together and supporting each other. Just our county and city alone will not do it as there are too many strong legislators who are trying to eliminate that tax altogether. Mr. Waibel stated in the past four years since Ms. Heuss has been the Director every indication is that the Bureau activities have increased 500% to 1000%. MINUTES City Council Meeting May 30, 1990 Page 12 of 14 #3011 #3129 Mr. Colvin stated prior to Ms. Heuss' directorship, there was not the enthusiasm there is now and complimented Ms. Heuss on the job she has done. Mr. Dawkins stated if all of Bremerton were as enthused as Mr. Smith and Ms. Heuss there would be no problems and he feels we are fortunate to have these two people in these two positions. Ms. Horton thanked Mr. Smith and Ms. Heuss for very good reports. LEASE OF VACANT OFFICES AT 1548 WARREN AVENUE - KITSAP COUNTY EMERGENCY SERVICES COUNCIL #AB90-130 Kitsap County Emergency Medical Services Council is being forced to vacate their present offices in June, due to expansion at Harrison Memorial Hospital. They are a non-profit public benefit corporation providing the required medical control, quality assurance and certification/recertification evaluations of all personnel licensed to provide emergency medical services in Kitsap County. It is proposed to rent the old street department offices at 1548 Warren Avenue without charge on a month to month basis. Recommendation is to approve the lease between the City of Bremerton and Kitsap County Emergency Medical Services Council. Mick McKinley, Deputy Fire Chief, stated the Bremerton Fire Department feels it is vital to keep this organization in the City where it is easily accessible to one of the largest fire departments in the county. This organization provides the liaison between Harrison Hospital and Bremerton paramedics. The organization's goal is to maintain that quality assurance for all citizens in the county. Mr. McKinley encouraged Council's support to allow them the use of this building which will enable both MLS and Bremerton to maintain their costs. If they are unable to find space that is economically pleasing, they would have to go to the users, and Bremerton is an ALS user, and ask them for an increase in their budget to help offset building space. Carol Johnson, President of MLS, stated they exist through RCW 52 and have been given the responsibility and accountability that do not have a concurrent funding mechanism; they exist entirely on funds from the user agencies. Being a non-profit for public benefit agency, they are anxious to find space within their budget. They would also like to stay in the City, having access to Cencom and Harrison is advantageous. Public comment invited - none received. MINUTES City Council Meeting May 30, 1990 Page 13 of 14 #3217 Tape #736 #0032 #0081 #0115 Mr. Waibel stated there should be a termination clause in the contract. Mr. Sievers stated "This lease shall be on a month to month basis of indefinite term, terminable upon 30 days notice" should be added to paragraph 2. Also minor changes included adding; "this lease is subject to leasehold excise tax"; this is for two front offices on the first floor only; also there are minor repairs that need to be made and MLS wants it clear they will not make those repairs, the Lessor (City) will. M/S/C/U (Waibel/Horning) approved the lease of vacant offices at 1548 Warren with changes as stated with Kitsap County Emergency Medical Services Council.
