The junk vehicle that was located at 9th and Broadway the past two years has been removed. He visited some people on the 1100 block of McKenzie and viewed several junkie buildings which present safety hazards; and they will be investigated by the City this week. He explained that when he speaks of slum landlords he is not referring to low income/modest housing but filth and substandard housing. He will be looking into the City's Building Code in the very near future. Also, he has been contacting local churches and inquiring if they would be interested in applying for Federal funds, which are available to provide housing for special population needs. Congressman Norm Dicks is concerned that no one in the Bremerton area is pursuing this source of funds. Mr. Waibel reported he attended the Bremerton Symphony's Vienna #0264 Tape #713 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes February 21, 1990 Page 2 of 13 Night, which was extremely well attended in spite of the snowy weather. He commended the City's Street Department personnel who kept City streets clean that evening making it safer for travelers. Also, he had the opportunity to view the Dinosaur Exhibition, sponsored by the Seattle Science Center, on display at the Pavilion. He encouraged the general public to attend - it is an extremely interactive type of program. And, on Sunday, February 25, the Bremerton Elks are holding a recognition reception for Mayor Louis Mentor. Mr. Johnson reported on Tuesday, February 21, he returned to the Cable Advisory Committee and was somewhat disappointed that no one from either Cable company was in attendance. He was proud of how far the Committee has advanced in the past 3 years, making a lot of progress in the public education area, government area and the thrust of their efforts this year will be to make public access television more publicly accessible and easier for people to participate in programming, productions and making it more of a community effort. He was pleased with support received from the public access staff at TCI. The Committee also took a position with regard to Syndex and network non-duplication laws and will be coming to Council with a recommendation that the City Council go forward directly to the FCC on the inability of local governments or any location organizations to have any affect on the type of programing being provided. Mr. Johnson also thanked the Street Department crews who were out sanding and snow plowing City streets last week. Last week he provided a memo and suggestion to the City Council that the Agenda packet be reduced from an 8 1/2" x 14" document to an 8 1/2" x 11 document, thereby providing a cost savings as well as something that would be easier to handle. M/S/C/U(johnson/Collins) that February 28 will be the last time the Agenda packet will be an 8 1/2" x 14" document and effective the March 7 Council meeting the Agenda packet will be reduced to 8 1/2" x 11" Mr. Colvin stated he had received letters from citizens concerning the exclusion of Channel CBUT and urged citizens to keep up the letter writing campaign to the cable company. He commended Terrie Hartson, Project Director for "Clean Up Bremerton", on her organizational effort underway; and he requested all citizens of Bremerton to cooperate with Ms. Hartson when they are contacted by her either through the news media, local radio stations, etc. Also, he received a letter in which a citizen had a complaint against Brem-Air Disposal Inc., and since he had always received a cooperative response from Brem-Air Disposal on complaints in the past, he would personally talk with the involved parties. Last week he toured the waterfront to see what progress was being made and even though it appeared slow...progress was being made. He Tape #713 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes February 21, 1990 Page 3 of 13 also toured the Smith Cove area and hoped that Brem-Air's plans would work out where they would be moving their equipment to another location and the waterfront area would be enhanced. Mr. Dawkins reported yesterday he attended a meeting in Olympia of the Legislators who are involved in transportation issues, which was sponsored by the Transit Systems, i.e., Pierce Transit, Kitsap Transit, etc. He noted the attitude of the legislators was positive on the Transportation Bill passing at the last minute, if not in a Special Session. If passed, it will bring passenger only ferry service back to Bremerton and will start the funding of the three new jumbo ferries. Also, he attended a meeting of the Economic Development Council held this date and noted there are a lot of people (40-50 volunteers) in the City and County working for the greater betterment of Bremerton and County areas. Mrs. Horton reported she also attended the Legislative meeting in Olympia dealing with the transportation issue and today she attended another Legislative luncheon, with the discussion centering around law and justice funding. Law enforcement agencies are seeking some of the State's surplus funds as well as some sort of mechanism so that cities and counties have local option whereby they can get ongoing funding to support the local law and justice systems. She encouraged everyone who feels strongly on either the law and justice issue or transportation issue to call or write their Legislator informing them of that support. If the tax proposal does not pass, then the Legislators need to come up with a compromise so that the passenger only ferries can be brought back and into operation. PUBLIC RECOGNITION Mayor Louis Mentor presented Certificates Of Appreciation to: (1) two former Planning Commission members - Bert Pierce for his service of two years on the Commission and Virginia Okerman, who recently passed away, and who had given five years of dedicated service; (2) two former Parks Board members - Conrad Beach and Jack Dreaney after having served on the Parks Board for approximately seven years. Don Pratt, Director of Community Development accepted the Certificates for Bert Pierce and Virginia Okerman. He noted the dedication of both of these past members and their valuable role during their service. And, he noted Virginia will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Vickie Vanneman, Director Of Parks And Recreation, accepted the Certificates for the outgoing Parks Board members and noted their diligent service. She hopes that they both would be willing to serve again sometime in the future. Barbara Maaaert, Bremerton Central Lions Club, announced the 25th Tape #713 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes February 21, 1990 Page 4 of 13 Annual Flea Market for the Lions Club. The proceeds from the event will be put back into the community and they are seeking donations of saleable items. They will be happy to pick up items and arrangements can be made by calling 377-0061 or 377-4441 (daytime) or 479-5191 (evenings). Don Larson, Bremerton resident, stated he did not believe Brem-Air Disposal, Inc., lives up to their advertising claims (contained in their brochure) where they offer courteous service and will meet the residents requirements. He noted he does not generate enough garbage to fill a 32 gallon garbage can per week, however, Brem- Air indicated they have only a flat rate. Mr. Larson reviewed the City's ordinance and found that it contained a section noting a $1.75 minimum charge if a can per week is not set out. He also contacted the City Attorney, who reviewed the City's ordinance with him. Mr. Larson emphasized the fact thatStem-Air will not recognize "minimum charge" as stated in the contract. #0752 6A - CONFIRMATION OF TWO APPOINTMENTS TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION - DAN MILOVICH AND RUSSELL NICKERSON, #AB90-028 There are two current vacancies on the Planning Commission; Virginia Okerman has recently died and Clem Modisette resigned last fall. Mayor Mentor is recommending the Okerman vacancy be filled by Russ Nickerson and the Modisette vacancy be filled by Dan Milovich. Mayor Louis Mentor reviewed the background of both Mr. Milovich and Mr. Nickerson noting their past community involvement and urged the Council to confirm their appointments to the Planning Commission. M/S/C/U(Dawkins/Colvin) to confirm the Mayor's appoint of Russ Nickerson and Dan Milovich to the Planning Commission. Mr. Nickerson thanked the Mayor and City Council for his appointment and looked forward to helping make Bremerton a better city to work and live in. He especially has a strong feeling for the downtown and waterfront areas. Mr. Milovich thanked A1Colvin for encouraging him to apply for the position and thanked Mayor Mentor for the appointment to the Commission. He noted he has lived in Bremerton all his life and has seen it grow and not grow, but now he believes it is on the upward trend and he is excited to be part of that. 6B - CONFIRMATION OF REAPPOINTMENT TO CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION - DR. GEORGE DIBBLEE, #AB90-029 Dr. George Dibblee's term on the Civil Service Commission expired on January 14, 1990. Mayor Mentor is recommending he be #0880 #0963 Tape #713 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes February 21, 1990 Page 5 of 13 reappointed to another term. Mayor Louis Mentor briefly outlined Dr. Dibblee's past service on the Civil Service Commission and urged the Council to confirm his appointment to another term. M/S/C/U(Waibel/Colvin) to confirm Mayor Mentor's reappointment of Dr. George Dibbles to the Civil Service Commission. 6C - CONFIRMATION OF TWO APPOINTMENTS TO THE PARKS BOARD - MARY SCHMIDT AND DON WRIGHT, #AB90-030 There are currently three vacancies on the Parks Board. Mayor Mentor is recommending Mary Schmidt to fill Conrad Beach's vacancy. Mayor Mentor is also recommending Don Wright to fill Jack Dreaney's vacancy. Mayor Louis Mentor stated the City is fortunate to have people within the City who are willing to serve on Boards and Commissions. He briefly reviewed community involvement of Mary Schmidt and Don Wright. M/S/C/U(Waibel/Colvin) to confirm the Mayor's appointment of Mary Schmidt and Don Wright to the Parks Board. Don Wright thanked the Mayor and City Council for the appointment and stated it will be a pleasure to serve the City and he will give his very best in carrying out the responsibilities of a Parks Board member. Mr. Johnson thanked Mayor Mentor for an excellent slate of appointees and he was proud to see Bremerton citizens stepping forward and deciding to help run Bremerton. 6D - PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH BREMERTON MAIN STREET, KITSAP COUNTY/BREMERTON VISITORS AND CONVENTION BUREAU, FLAGSHIP CITY '90, AND KITSAP COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL, #AB90-31 The 1990 City Budget includes funding for each specified organization: a. Bremerton Main Street - $15,000 b. Visitor & Convention Bureau - $45,000 c. Flagship City '90 - $25,000 d. Economic Development Council - $10,000 City Council 1990 Statement Of Legislative Intent states that "A joint operating agreement delineating respective areas of work, how each agency's efforts compliment others, the lead agency in cases of overlapping objectives/goals". The proposed contracts identify specific tasks, the lead agency, Tape #713 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes February 21, 1990 Page 6 of 13 and quantifiable work products for each funded organization. Council action is required for authorization of Mayor to sign the contracts. President Horton stepped down on this issue due to the fact that she is an active board member on one of the subject organizations. Vice President Dawkins took over the role as Council Chairman. Elizabeth Buell, 1722 High Avenue, requested an explanation of responsibility under the contract for each organization. Earl Smith, President of the Economic Development Council (EDC), Ruth Waibel, representing Flagship City and Don Atkinson, representing Bremerton Main Street Association reviewed for the public the direct statements within the contract, which identified specific responsibilities relating to each specific organization. Mim Heuss, Executive Director Bremerton/Kitsap County Visitor And Convention Bureau (VCB), stated she represents the tourist industry for Bremerton and Kitsap County. They operate under a board of directors, which represents the private and public sector. The object and purpose of the Visitor And Convention Bureau is to assist the economic development through tourism. That means through bringing in individual tourist, families as well as conventions. The convention market is the largest group they pursue. The City of Bremerton provides $45,000 from the Hotel/Motel Tax and consequently a large part of their job is to keep that tax coming in each year and to increase it. As an example, currently they are working with the VCB of Seattle assisting them to find housing for convention participants who are coming in to an Alcohol Anonymous convention which was over booked. This effort has booked every hotel room in Bremerton during that Seattle convention. Don Larson, Bremerton, questioned if the City is considering placement of a Naval ship, which would be open to the public? Vice President Dawkins stated yes, there will be one hopefully by early 1991. Roy McInnis, 2711 Maple Street, thanked Mrs. Buell for requesting clarification of the proposed contract. And, he noted within the next 3-4 years there is going to be some great movement in the downtown area if these organizations hold true to their contract. Mr. Waibel stated he noticed the final work product for each of the groups is solicitation of funds and he noticed that Main Street, VCB and ECD have all indicated the purpose for that solicitation Tape #713 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes February 21, 1990 Page 7 of 13 and he was wondering why Flagship did not indicate the purpose for their solicitation item. Connie Devaney, Grants Manager, stated it was just an oversight on her part. Mr. Estes stated prior to the Council meeting there was discussion about political involvement of these groups and whether or not this was appropriate considering they receive public funds. Ian Sievers, City Attorney, stated the intent of the Council, since the City does not get involved in elections, is to make it clear in the contract that these groups would also not be involved in political activity. He suggested adding Section #6 "Political Activity: As a recipient of tax generated public funding throuqh this contract consultant aqrees that it shall use no resources including staff, facilities or materials, nor take any action which abdicates, advances or promotes the success or failure of any ballot issue or candidate for elective office". Mr. Collins questioned if reference to "open meeting" law requirements should be included in the contracts? Mr. Sievers stated the Council directed a Statement Of Legislative Intent (SLI) to have each of the agencies meetings opened and their documents available to the public when those meetings or documents relate to the work being contracted and are so stipulated under Section 5 of the proposed contract. Also, he volunteered to be a consultant since his office handles the disclosure for the City and are most familiar with those statutes. And, each group is being asked to act like a public agency, such as the City, in opening their meetings and opening documents. Mim Heuss questioned if this meant just political activity for candidates and would not affect lobbying efforts with state legislators? Mr. Sievers stated yes, only ballot issues or candidates. Smith a~a~ed from the charter of a non-profit organization he is not allowed to do anything in politics..support a candidate, but they are allowed to give views on an issue and he hopes Council does not mean that they do not want their input on issues. The EDC meetings are and have always been open to the public; and their records are open as well. Ms. Waibel, Flagship, stated she echoes Earl's comments as to the open meetings policy for her organization as well. However, on the political issue she is concerned that in regard to ballot issues their Board Of Directors is rather encouraged to take a position on issues they think are in the best interest of the City and while change is not comfortable she believes it would be unwise to tie the Boards hands. She encouraged the Council to reconsider adding Tape #713 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes February 21, 1990 Page 8 of 13 this clause to the contract until her Board of Directors had an opportunity to review it. Mr. Collins stated one of the concerns that Council has is Flagship's previous comment in a document which substantially criticized Bremerton's form of government and he did not think the Council wants that to continue. Ms. Waibel stated that was included in a report based on a Task Force created under the Flagship leadership - their recommendation was that the form of government is an important part of the City's effort to revitalize and if it is an issue that should be looked at it should be looked at. Later, the Task Force took that item off their agenda and as far as she knows it is not and will not be, however, the comments do remain in the minutes which were issued in 1988. Mr. Collins stated personally he would like Flagship continue but he thinks they should continue in a constructive way and not with their own ax to grind. Ms. Waibel assured Mr. Collins that this particular point is no longer actively being pursued. If there are other concerns, then there needs to be some discussion. When there is an organization that consists of a public sector and a private sector, all meeting in good faith to facilitate change in the City, that it will be necessary at one point or another to take a position on an issue. Mr. Johnson stated he did not care to debate the issue - it is illegal and if the City wanted Flagship or any other organization to take a position, even if it concurred with the City, he believes that would be called by the Public Disclosure Commission funnelling money to a private organization. The City is not allowed to take such a stand and once an organization is involved in using public money that places the same restrictions on the organization. Mr. Waibel stated there is a difference between research and recommendations in a ballot issue. Once something becomes a ballot issue tax payers money cannot be used either for or against that issue and the wording is very clear...ballot issues or candidates. Mr. Sievers stated this clause is not simply to reflect what the law is but rather a contract term and that can make a more stringent set of circumstances than the law requires of a 501C organization. Certainly the resources of the City cannot be used to the slightest extend on a ballot issue, for instance, the State Auditors' ire has been raised where a simple statement was placed on the bottom of a Utility bill to support a particular issue. Whether a position can be taken by a consultant or body and say "we approve" an issue or proposition on the ballot, the Council's intent was that they not take a political stand. It is difficult to trace City funds to say that they were not used to promote or support such an issue. Therefore, he felt on the issues prohibition that the Council simply did not want such organizations involved during the term of the contract. Tape #713 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes February 21, 1990 Page 9 of 13 #1795 #2267 #2280 #2301 #2332 M/S/CU(Estes/Johnson) to amend each contract to include addition of Section 6.

Vote: In Favor: Overson, Estes, Horning, Dawkins, Collins, Colvin, Johnson Abstain: Waibel M/S/C/U(Waibel/Collins) to authorize Mayor Mentor to sign the attached contract with Kitsap County Economic Development Council. Mr. Collins stated Ms. Devaney will provide to the Council Operations Committee, on a quarterly basis, a complete update of the activities of the four organizations. Mr. Dawkins pointed out Ms. Daveney did an excellent job in developing the contracts and thanked her for her involvement in the grant application process. President Horton returned to the meeting at 7:05 p.m. 6E -AUTHORIZATION TO SUBMIT PLANNING GRANT FOR A STORM SEWER SEPARATION PROJECT TO THE DEPARTMENT OF ECOLOGY, #AB90-032 The Washington State Department Of Ecology has made Centennial Clean Water Funds available to local governments for protecting and enhancing the quality of the surface and underground waters of the State of Washington. The Draft Bremerton Combined Sewer Overflow Reduction Plan and the Draft Sinclair and Dyes Inlets Action Program both identify the Callow Avenue Basin Storm Sewer Separation Project. The Centennial Clean Water Grant will be utilized to develop a plan for partial storm sewer separation in the Callow Avenue basin. Grant Amount - $37,500 City Match - $37,500 #2465 Tape #713 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes February 21, 1990 Page 10 of 13 Total Cost - $75,000 City Council action is required for authorization of staff to submit the grant application. Public Comment invited - non received. M/S/C/U(Collins/Dawkins) to authorize the proposed grant application to be submitted to the Department Of Ecology. 6G - MAYOR'S REVISED 1990 COMITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM, #AB90-034 On November 8, 1989 the City Council adopted the 1990 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program for the City of Bremerton for $400,000. The 1990 CDBG Program of $400,000 is the sum of an estimated entitlement of $350,000 plus reprogrammed funds from prior years projects. On January 23, 1990, HUD advised the City that its CDBG Entitlement would actually be $337,000, a 44 decrease in the amount estimated. Because the actual entitlement is less than what was estimated and allocated to specific projects, it is necessary to decrease project allocations by 44 to equal $337,000. The $50,000 of reprogrammed funds is unchanged. The 1990 CDBG Program for the City of Bremerton is $387,000. Mr. Waibel stepped down from hearing this issue due a personal conflict of interest. President Horton returned to the meeting at 7:05 p.m. Carol Dickinson, Community Services Manager, stated there were four separate Federal actions which contributed to the 44 decrease in entitlement: (1) reappropriation of Block Grant funds for anti-drug and disaster relief; (2) the Gramm- Rudman Budget Reconciliation Agreement; (3) funds were diverted to U.S. Housing & Urban Development Secretary's Discretionary Fund by Congress; and (4) CDBG Entitlement allocation formula, which recognizes that Bremerton's population had increased in 1988 - caused a reduction in funding. Bremerton was not the only city on the West Coast to be affected - Seattle 84 decrease, Tacoma 7.84 decrease, Portland, Oregon 10.44 decrease, Anchorage, Alaska 7.84 decrease, Burbank, California 104 decrease. It is anticipated in future years that the allocation formula will have an even greater impact than 1990's. Information available to date on the Block Grant 1991 budget indicates that it will be less than this year. Therefore there is less money to spend, however, needs are the same and/or increasing dramatically. Tape #713 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes February 21, 1990 Page 11 of 13 The reallocation being proposed has been reviewed by the Mayor's Block Grant Advisory Committee and they recommended an across-the- board reduction for all recipients...it is not reallocation between projects, not redoing the work undertaken last fall during the initial application process. #2822 Public comment invited - none received. President Morton questioned for clarification..-if the population increases then the City would receive less monies? Ms. Dickinson stated when the formula was originally established in 1974, the formula was identified to aging inner cities, such as Bremerton, who were suffering a decrease in population. So the weight variable for population decrease is much greater than the weight variable for population increase. Actual need is taken into consideration but it is not as high a weight factor as population increase. M/S/C/U(Dawkins/Colvin) City Council authorizes the Mayor to submit to HUD a revised statement for use of 1990 CDBG funds consistent with the actual 1990 CDBG entitlement of $337,000 approved by same, and to authorize the Mayor to execute contracts with subgrantees for the use of these funds. The City Council further directs the City Treasurer to administratively distribute Community Development Block Grant funds in the 1990 Budget to be amended. 6F - 1990 COMMUNITY SERVICES BUDGET ADJUSTMENT, #AB90-033 The 1990 budget for Community Services was adopted in December 1989, prior to determining actual 1989 budget carryover and approval by HUD of the 1990 CDBG Entitlement. The actual carryover of funds is $741,149.63; and the actual CDBG Entitlement allocated by HUD is $337,000. City Council action is requested at this time to adjust the 1990 Community Services Budget. Carol Dickinson, Community Services Manager, stated when the budget is put together the process starts in August/September and at that time it is not possible to estimate the exact amount of the entitlement allocation from HUD as well as the exact amount of funds that will be spent from August/September through the end of the year. When the budget is adopted they make their best guess with the intent to come back to Council after the first of the year with actual dollar amounts and adjust the budget as appropriate, She pointed out the actual carry over for 1989-1990 was $741,000 and represents dollars already allocated in prior years for the waterfront boardwalk, which will soon be put out for bid and under construction spending approximately $200,000; approximately $300,000 set aside for the Housing Rehab Program; several small Tape #713 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes February 21, 1990 Page 12 of 13 parks projects, such as Lions Field shoreline stabilization; $50,000 of funds that have been reprogrammed to 1990 projects. Public comment invited - none received. Mr. Dawkins questioned if there is a down trend in allocating of Federal Block Grant funds or the possibility of sunset type legislation. Ms. Dickinson stated it is her feeling that it is declining but at this point in time there is no sunset legislation on the Federal Community Development Block Grant program. President Morton questioned if any of the projects pending are in jeopardy of loosing funds because of deadlines. Ms. Dickinson stated no, not at this time. #3091 M/S/C/U(Johnson/Horning) City Council adopts the 1990 Community Services Budget as adjusted to incorporate the actual 1989 carryover of funds and 1990 CDBG Entitlement. Mr. Waibel returned to the meeting at 7:10 p.m. 7A - ORDINANCE (FIRST READING) ESTABLISHING A CITY SOLID WASTE POLICY AND ADVISORY COMMITTEE, #AB90-035 Environmental concerns and solid waste management requirements of today and the future require the cooperative efforts of all branches and levels of City government, Bremerton's citizens, the business community and cooperating governmental agencies. The attached ordinance establishes a broad based committee to address these concerns and to provide advisory recommendations concerning establishment of solid waste services contracts for the City of Bremerton. Mr. Johnson stated solid waste and what to do with it in the next decade will be a large issue. Because Bremerton has a contracted out solid waste operation, which as presently constructed is inadequate to meet the needs of citizens in the future, and the City is not staffed to handle the responsibility, he is recommending a Solid Waste Committee that can join the cooperative efforts of both Legislative/Administrative/State government and citizens to develop some recommendations to be brought to the Council. Public comment invited - none received. #3282 M/S/C/U(Dawkins/Colvin) to approve Ordinance, on first reading, establishing a Solid Waste Committee and amending Bremerton Municipal Code Chapter 6.06, and upon passage on second reading Ordinance will become effective within 10 days.
