Department's Crime Prevention Officer, on Thursday, February 16,
1989, 7:00 PM at the Kitsap Lake Fire Hall. Mr. Johnson

communications between City government and constituents.
Mr. Dawkins announced the Ferry Riders Coalition meeting with the
legislators was previously snowed out and rescheduled for
Thursday, February 16.
Mr. Collins complimented Jim Brontoli and his TV crew for their
part in the Vocational Skills event held at Kitsap Mall this past
weekend. Mr. Collins noted he had received 18 letters and 300
signatures on a petition which were all opposed to the proposed

be holding a meeting on February 27, 6:00 p.m., at the Sheridan
Park Recreation Center, as a follow-up to proposal of a City
Parking Plan. He noted City Staff would be present to explain
the proposed plan and to take comments from citizens. On
Saturday, February 11, he participated in the "March of the
injustice for the cross burning". He noted the purpose of the
march was to focus on the injustice within the judicial system.
Mr. Crutcher clarified the statement made on TV news that
Bremerton did not support nor participate in the march...that was
incorrect as he as well as Mrs. Collins and probably others from
Bremerton participated in the march.
Mrs. Horton announced Crown Hill Elementary School concluded
their "Pizza Fund Raiser" on Saturday meeting their goal of 3,000
pizzas. She attended the dedication of the Guard House
renovation which was undertaken by the Boy Scouts of America and
who deserve an "attaboy" for a job well done. The Scalawag
event held on Saturday was a success, and a considerable amount
of money was made for Scalawag. The Haddon Neighborhood
Association will hold a meeting on February 28, to discuss
vehicle parking impacts on surrounding residential areas from
Olympic College and Bremerton High School.
Mr. Waibel reported the Council Operations committee met this
date and a short presentation was made on the proposed Parking
Plan, basically trying to correct misinformation. Also,
discussion was held on the errors and correction procedure for
the Zoning Ordinance with several items being brought to the
Council at the February 22 meeting. He also attended the
dedication of the NAD Guard House and noted the ceremony was
impressive and well attended by past members of the Civilian
Conservation Corps.
PUBLIC RECOGNITION
Mayor Gene Lobe introduced the City's new Grants Procurement
Officer - Connie Devaney. He gave a brief description of her
background and expertise she brings to this position. Connie
Devaney stated she was very glad to be here and hoped she could
obtain even part of the funding that is desired.
Mayor Lobe stated he was glad to see Neighborhood Association
meetings being set up to further discuss the proposed Parking
Plan. He emphasized the importance of the staff listening to
citizens' comments but also urged citizens to listen to what the
staff is saying in their presentation.
Mayor Gene Lobe read a Proclamation acknowledging that diseases
of the heart and blood vessels will kill one million Americans,
that such diseases are the number one killers in Bremerton,
claiming the lives of more than 464 Kitsap County residents
during 1987; and recognizing the American Heart Association's
sole mission is to reduce early and disability from
cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, Mayor Gene Lobe proclaimed
the month of February as "AMERICAN HEART MONTH?. Vickie Vanniman
accepted the Proclamation on behalf Board Of Directors of Kitsap
County Division of the American Heart Association and all of the
residential drive volunteers, extending heartfelt thanks to Mayor
Lobe and the City council for providing the opportunity to
inform the citizens of Bremerton of the Heart Associations' work
in Kitsap County. Ms. Vanniman briefly reviewed the mission of
the AHA, educational events and fund raising opportunities that
will be carried out throughout the month of February in our
community.
Nancy Moen, Veterans Of Foreign Wars Auxiliary, announced 1989 is
being celebrated as Washington's Centennial Year as well as the
TAPE #609
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
February 15, 1989
Page 3 of 10
200th anniversary of George Washington's inauguration and in
recognition of those events she introduced George and Martha
Washington. George Washington, played by Mr. Mike Hougan, stated
it was a genuine honor to be present at the City Council meeting
and especially so for him to focus honor and recognition to an
important part of history...our founding father - George
Washington; and to take note of the 200th anniversary of George
Washington's inauguration and also the 100th birthday of our
State which was named in honor of our first President. President
Horning noted that Mr. Hougan, representing George Washington, is
Chairman of the Kitsap County portion of the Centennial
Committee.
Leo Wocher, 1703 Gregory Way, expressed concern of Administration
costs identified in the proposed Parking Plan. He felt the City
would be creating a new department, adding administration costs
which would out weigh the income and those funds to be returned
to street improvement needs.
Jim Adrian, 621 Washington, suggested that the City Council set
up another public meeting to discuss the proposed Parking Plan
and to include notification of such a meeting in water bills to
those areas most affected. He noted that the proposed plan could
have a greater impact on specific areas than the new Zoning
Ordinance.
Tom Dames, 707 S. Lafayette, spoke in opposition to the proposed
Parking Plan and felt those in the affected areas were being
treated unfairly. He noted the plan would ensure that the
neighborhoods would never be able to get rid of the commuters.
He expressed concern that those residents with more than two
vehicles, RV or boat would only qualify for two Residential
Parking Permits. He expressed concern that the residential
parking would be clustered together which would mean some of the
residents would be close to their homes and others not.
He supported keeping the Residential Parking Permits as they are
and felt the $12.00 annual fee was a very reasonable cost. He
suggested the City get the commuters out of the residential
areas, change the Residential Parking Zones to two hours between
7AM - 3PM, not 8AM - 4PM, increase parking fines which would
encourage commuters to park in parking lots, find funding for
street repair from another source and make sure citizens pay
their share.
Mary Drouin, 103 Olympic, briefly reviewed past "City Clean Up"
efforts and requested the City join in the State-wide "Spring
Clean up Of The Century" with Spring Rally Week set for April 15
through 23. She pointed out many areas within the City that are
in need of a clean sweep and encouraged the City to get involved
along with local organizations and citizens to help beautify
Bremerton. She stressed the importance of an on going clean up
effort besides the emphasis given during April 15 through 23.
Joe Stark, 207 Anoka, expressed concern that citizens are
misinformed regarding the proposed Parking Plan. He suggested
that City staff, including Mrs. Little, someone from the
Engineering Department and Police Department to be in attendance
at the scheduled meetings where the proposed Parking Plan is to
be discussed. He questioned if it was legal to have people pay
for parking on public streets?
Earl Nelson, 313 Olympic, spoke of concern of parking around
Olympic College and did not support the City charging students to
park.
Phil Drouin, 103 Olympic, came before the City Council
TAPE #609

Page 4 of 10
on behalf of his deceased friend Clyde Packek, who served on the
Bremerton City Council from January 1983 through December 1985.
Clyde served along with two other Council members on the
Wastewater Facilities project. Clyde was always available and
willing to attend weekly meetings, to go out in the field and
inspect work in progress, regardless of the weather. He
participated in City representation with State Legislators
appealing for additional funds. Mr. Drouin presented a two
volume pictorial of the City's wastewater project - donated to
the City Council in the name of Clyde Pachek, compiled by Phil
Drouin, Chairman of the Wastewater Facility Committee. President
Homing noted it was a privilege having served with Mr. Pachek
during his term in office and the pictorial will be kept in a
special place.
Tom Tri~s, 1625 Gregory Way, stated he understood the City's
problem over the parking issue, however there needs to be
consideration given to where commuters can park and to protect
the residential areas. He stated he believed each and every
citizen of Bremerton should participate in seeing that the City
streets are repaired and cleaned up. He expressed concern over
residential areas being littered and urged everyone to believe in
the virtue of charity. Mr. Tri~s emphasized he was behind the
City Council and City Staff in their effort to resolve parking
problems.
Elizabeth Buell, 1722 High, questioned if the City Attorney had a
response regarding placement of Stop signs at 15th and High? Ian
Sievers, City Attorney, stated he has a draft response and City
Council should receive a copy by the end of the week.
Don Pratt, Director Of Community Development, stated on behalf of
Mayor Lobe, that two weeks ago the Council adopted the use of a
Design Selection Committee to select the conceptual design for
the walkway, boardwalk or path from 1st Street to 2nd Street,
funded with Block Grant funds. There were three positions on the
committee that were identified by Organization only, Flagship
representative, Bremerton Main Street representative and Bremer's
Inc., representative. The Mayor now has three names to present to
the City Council: Flagship City '89 - Howard Alnutt, Bremerton
Main Street - Marian Olson, Bremer's Inc., - Richard McDonald.
:1451 M/S/C/U(Johnson/Collins) to approve the naming of Howard Allnutt,
Marian Olson and Richard McDonald as part of the Design Selection
Committee.
6A - CONSIDERATION OF ANNEXATION PETITION - A MEETING WITH
BREMERTON SCHOOL DISTRICT TO CONSIDER A 10~ PETITION TO ANNEX
CROWN HILL ELEMENTARY, ~AB89-031
The Bremerton School District has submitted a 104 petition
requesting the annexation of Crown Hill Elementary School. The
school site consists of a single lot, 10.64 acres in size, and
adjacent to the present City limits along Rocky Point Road. The
City's Comprehensive Plan designation for the area is
"Public/Quasi-Public Facilities" and the present County zoning is
R-5 (Residential, 5 dwellings per acres).
RCW 35.13.125 requires the City to meet with the applicant and
decide whether or not to proceed with the annexation, decide to
proceed with planning and zoning for the area, and to decide
whether the property will assume any or all of the City's
indebtedness.
Ron Hough, Annexation Coordinator, used a view graph to show
location of the subject property, the surrounding lot uses. He
noted that the School District proposes no change in use - it
TAPE #609
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
February 15, 1989

will remain an elementary school. The Planning Commission has
scheduled a public hearing on the Zoning issue for this property
to be held February 21 and will be considering a staff
recommendation for zoning of Parks/Schools.
Mr. Hough noted that the SEPA Checklist had been completed, on
February 9 a DNS was issued and circulated for comments. If the
proposal receives Council approval, a public hearing on 75~
petition tentatively set for March 22.
Mr. Hough explained the three main issues to be considered are:
(1) Council accept the School District's 10~ petition for
annexation; (2) request a Zoning recommendation from the Planning
Commission for the subject site; (3) and to require the
applicant to assume the City's indebtedness.
Mr. Johnson questioned the lack of signatures of key
departments... Utilities, Attorney, Mayor, Police Chief, Fire
Chief, neither initialed the Agenda Bill or made comments in the
proposal? Mr. Hough stated the DNS was issued on February 9 and
not all responses have been received. Ian $ievers stated the
Administration had set up an Annexation Committee which includes
the City Attorney, Fire Department, Planning Department,
Utilities and the Chairman's signature represents the body of the
committee. Mr. Johnson preferred having individual signatures,
particularly the City Attorney's so that he knows what is being
proposed is legal.
:1683 M/S/C/U(Waibel/Crutcher) the City Council accepts Bremerton
School District's 10~ petition for annexation, request a zoning
recommendation from the Planning Commission for the subject site,
and require the applicant to assume the City's current
indebtedness.
7A - ORDINANCE (FIRST READING) ESTABLISHING A RESCUE ONE FUND,
~AB89-032
There has been citizen interest in a special purpose fund for the
administration of gifts and bequests to the City in appreciation
of emergency medical services provided by the Fire Department.
This fund shall be expended only for equipment and supplies for
the Rescue One Program.
Rich Hanna, City Treasurer, stated the Ordinance being presented
is drafted in order to comply with the finding of the State
Auditors, which was part of their audit of City records for 1987.
The issue that the Auditors took with the current conduct of the
Non-Profit Corporation was in their interpretation of the
donations. In the eyes of the Auditors those funds are public
funds and as such should be remitted to the City and managed by
the City Treasurer. The proposed Ordinance would create a fund,
called the Special Revenue Fund, to operate similar to the Police
Department's Special Projects Fund which has been in existence
for several years.
Mary Killian, Attorney representing the Non-Profit Corporation
entitled "Rescue One Corporation", spoke on behalf of the
corporation addressing several objections to passing of the
proposed ordinance. Ms. Killian expressed her feeling that the
proposed ordinance may be the first step in an attempt to require
a non-profit corporation transfer substantial funds to the City
of Bremerton. She stated the public would be much more likely to
contribute to a non-profit entity than the City. The public sees
Government agencies as having more funding available than non-
profit corporations. Citizens see governmental agencies as those
who take their taxes or possibly a governmental body that they
have a disagreement with. Therefore, the whereas clause in the
TAPE #609
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
February 15, 1989
Page 6 of 10
ordinance is not true in this instance...if the money is paid to
a non-profit corporation, citizens are much more likely to
contribute and the City in the long run will benefit by have
more donations for equipment to the Rescue One program.
Ms. Killian pointed out that in order to obtain funds for Rescue
One Corporation, firefighters, as private citizens, take effort
to gain those funds and passage of this ordinance attempts to
take control of what they do as private citizens for non-profit
organizations. It will not have a very positive effect on their
efforts to obtain those funds. Ms. Killian used several examples
of individuals volunteering to serve on non-profit corporations
within the community, such as United Way, and pointed out if
there are City employees involved with such an agency which
desires to make a donation to the City, the City is not going to
go out and establish a special United Way Fund and require the
Corporation to transfer their funds to the City. Passage of
this ordinance would give a clear message to employees that the
City does not want them engaging in volunteer activity if it is
going to benefit the City and it will cause the public not to
contribute as much if they know the money is going to the City as
opposed to a struggling non-profit organization.
Assurance of use of Rescue One funds - Ms. Killian expressed the
firefighters' concern that there is no assurance the City will
use the funds for the purpose of supplying Rescue One Program
with needed equipment. A large judgement against the City,
unexpected program costs, urgent need to balance the City
Budget...these and more contingencies could bring about a
transfer of the Rescue One funds by passage of a new ordinance.
However, the Rescue One Corporation does not face the same
contingencies as the City in regard to their budget. Ms.
Killian pointed out that the proposed ordinance just establishes
the fund, it does not require the non-profit corporation to
transfer their considerable money to this fund...that will take
litigation. She questioned if the City really want to be
embroiled in a battle where the issue is where the right of
citizens who happen to be City employees to belong to a non-
profit corporation which solicits charitable contributions and
then donates those contributions to the City.
In response to the State Auditor's finding, Ms. Killian explained
the Auditor is always making recommendations concerning City
practices. In her experience, the City often chooses to rebut
the finding of the Auditor if they feel they are on solid legal
ground. But, this Audit report was very one sided...the City
wanted the Auditor to recommend this finding - no steps were
taken to show the Auditor another side. In fact, the primary
reason the Auditor made the finding was the idea that the public
was contributing to the Rescue One Corporation and their
contributions were based on the services rendered by the
employees. In other words, employees must accept their salary
and cannot accept any other type of money for services rendered
even if the employee wanted to contribute it to charity. Since
the Auditor's finding, Rescue One Corporation By-Laws have been
amended to completely exclude any reference of their accepting
public contributions for services rendered. They are simply
accepting the public contributions as honorariums for people who
pass away and for the purpose of purchasing equipment to donate
to the City. Ms. Killian urged the City Council to not pass the
proposed ordinance, to not sent a massage which will contribute
to stamping out volunteering on behalf of the employee.
Ray Wi~s, 2335 Terrace Avenue, employee of the City of Bremerton
and President of the Rescue One Corporation, stressed the point
that at no time should it be construed that donations of funds to
TAPE #609
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
February 15, 1989
Page 7 of 10
the Rescue One Corporation is a gift to an employee to
personally benefit himself or other employees. Mr. Wi~s gave a
brief review of the establishment of the Corporation and he
emphasized the fact that it was never the intention to take away
any access to any funds legally bound to go to the General budget
or a special fund of the City of Bremerton. He stated the only
concern is that when the occasion arises due to budgetary
problems that these funds be used for the benefit of service to
citizens of Bremerton to meet their medical needs. He noted
the Rescue One fund has been administered property and he urged
the City Council to not adopt this ordinance due to it being a
duplication of service.
Roy McInnis, 2711 Maple Street, spoke against passage of the
ordinance and urged the Council to leave it as is and not set up
a duplicate service.
Ian $ievers, City Attorney, stated it was not the intent to
sidetrack the discussion of the proposed as a judgement of a
private corporation. He noted there is citizen interest in a
City fund for this special purpose and is in fact what instigated
this proposed ordinance. He agreed with Ms. Killian that the
creation of this fund will not speed the resolution of claims or
disputes with the non-profit organization, which must be resolved
in time, if not through the City efforts perhaps with the efforts
of the Attorney General. President Horninq noted that with
passage of the proposed ordinance the citizens of Bremerton who
were pleased with City services would be able to choose where
they would want to donate funds. And, he questioned what would
be the difference that the City would do than what is being done
now so far as administration of funds? Mr. $ievers stated as in
any special revenue fund the appropriations of budget decisions
are made by the department and in this case it would be the Fire
Chief. The Fire Chief would prioritize the needs for that
department to be presented annually to Council and ask Council to
draw money from that special fund for what he feels would be the
highest priority needs of the emergency medical services. Also,
it would be more efficient to run the funds through a City fund-
availability of personnel, computer equipment to handle
effectively, no additional costs (Municipal Corporation exists,
no auditing or attorney fees). President Horninq questioned if
the Fire Chief was the person making decisions now as to how
funds are spent. Mr. Sievers stated he assumed the Fire Chief
was making those decisions, maybe influenced by what he receives
in donations from the non-profit organization. President Horning
questioned if a control issue was missing? Mr. Sievers stated he
did not feel the two funds were incompatible. President Horning
questioned the reasons why citizens would donate funds to Rescue
One Corporation? Mr. Wi~s stated he felt people were some how
aware, either through advertising or personal experience, that
it would be appropriate to donate to such a fund and if they so
desired they would do so. President ~orninq questioned if it
was common for someone receiving emergency services to follow up
with a letter of thanks and a contribution to the Rescue One
Fund? Mr. Wi~s stated considering the City receives in excess
of 3,000 aid calls per year, very few donations are received
compared to the number of aid call runs. He noted most
donations are made "in memory" of someone who had received
emergency services.
Mr. Johnson stated his support of the proposal and noted he had
been questioned by constituents, who had donated to the Rescue
One Fund and thinking they had donated money to the City, wanting
to know what was happening with the fund.
Mr. Dawkins questioned if the Police Department had a similar
TAPE ~609
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
February 15, 1989
Page 8 of 10
type fund to receive donations? Mr. Sievers stated yes, it is
the same type of accumulative reserve fund as proposed and
carries over year-to-year, has a dedicated purpose and the funds
are limited to expenditure for those purposes. They cannot be
dipped into for General revenue needs of the City and the State
Statute authorizing this fund requires 2/3 majority of the
Council to divert any funds from the dedicated purposes. Mr.
Dawkins questioned who made decisions as to expenditure of the
funds? Mr. Sieves explained it was is part of the budget process
which calls for the Mayor and Police Chief to recommend the
expenditures which would then be approved through the budget
process. Mr. Dawkins questioned if there was a Board or
recommending body? Rich Hanna, City Treasurer, stated there is
not a similar organization or Board of Directors that exists in
the Police Department, however, the budget for the special Police
fund brought to Council was put together by himself, Captain
Hatfield and Detective Steele who is involved in the Special
Investigative Unit. Mr. Hanna noted SIU is the largest source of
funds and the largest user of the fund. Other purposes that are
carried on through the fund is the K-9 Program.
President Horninq questioned if there could be a Board of
Directors established for the fund? Mr. Sievers stated there
could be and maybe it states the obvious .... the Fire Chief
indicated he would consult with the people on the line as to
their needs in forming his budget recommendations.
Mr. Overson stated his support of providing a fund where donated
funds would not be used for administration costs and felt the
proposed fund would serve the citizens best interest.
Mr. Crutcher questioned if the non-profit corporation could
maintain their organization? Mr. Sievers stated disputes have
not been resolved as to some features of their organization and
they could meet the City's objections and run a non-profit with
similar goals parallel to the City's, thereby giving the citizens
a choice. Mr. Crutcher expressed his belief that the public
might be more likely to donate to a non-profit organization. Mr.
~ stated the only funds expended to maintain the corporation
is yearly corporation fee to the State, IRS and any checks that
are written. And, the corporation does not want to spend any
money for expenses other than equipment to benefit the citizens,
however, their by-laws do allow the hiring of legal counsel.
Mrs. Horton questioned if there were any members of the community
on the Rescue One Corporation Board Of Directors? Mr. Wi~s
stated no.
President Horninq noted he would prefer one fund than two and he
understands the State Auditor's desire to have one fund under the
control of the City. He hoped that if two funds were established
it would not create confusion for the citizens.
Mr. Dawkins questioned if the ordinance could include having the
Board of Directors of the non-profit corporation act as advisory
members for the new fund? Mr. Sievers stated there is nothing
against doing something like that as long as it is in an advisory
capacity. The reason something like this was not included was
because the Fire Chief would naturally do that and it would be
unusual in the structure of this type of fund. Mr. Dawkins
suggested looking at the establishment of an advisory board to be
included in the ordinance at the time of second reading.
'APE #610
Mr. Johnson pointed out that by putting the fund in the City
budget there is a standard, routine way for people to find out
where the donated funds were expended.

7B - ORDINANCE ~4187 (SECOND READING) ADOPTION OF URBAN RENEWAL
PLAN, ~AB89-025
Gil Johnson, Deputy City Clerk, read in to the record a letter
received from Bremerton Arts Council which desired to go "on
record" in support of a public arts program in the Downtown
Waterfront Urban Renewal Plan.
Kay Wilson, Planning Department, briefly explained the
information provided in Exhibit "A", which was included in the
Council Agenda. She noted the four pages contained that were a
result of Council motions. Ms. Wilson announced she had
compiled one complete copy of the Urban Renewal Plan with all
the inserts up-to-date and presented it to the Clerk.
Ms. Wilson stated on February 1, the first reading of the
ordinance, Council passed a motion approving the ordinance with
two exceptions to the contents of the plan: (1) that on second
reading the plan comes back with prohibition of liveaboard and
permanent spaces in Marina South area; (2) to clarify the
statement on condemnation with a period of two years so that the
City could acquire property not necessarily through the
condemnation process. And, to address these issues Ms. Wilson
provided pages 28 and 28A (prohibition of liveaboards and
permanent moorage), and pages 48 and 48A (clarification of
condemnation).
Ms. Wilson suggested adding the following words to the
recommended motion: "....as shown in exhibit "A".
:0216 M/S/C/U(Waibel/Collins) to pass Ordinance ~4187, on second
reading, adopting the Downtown Waterfront Urban Renewal Plan, as
shown in Exhibit "A", creating a downtown waterfront Urban
Renewal District Project Area in which Urban Renewal techniques
and powers are authorized. Establishing a Design Review Overlay
District within which certain plan provisions apply,
establishing Urban Renewal Policies and project area goals and
objectives; designating land/water use areas; establishing a
Design Review Board; prescribing development controls,
designating properties subject to acquisition; prescribing
property rehabilitation standards; designating properties for
project improvements, establishing an Implementation Program;
Establishing Procedures for modifying the plan; and Amending
Bremerton Zoning Ordinance No. 4172 accordingly.
Mr. Crutcher noted his disappointment that the Arts Program was
not included but complimented staff for the effort put in
developing the Plan.
Mr. Johnson stated he hoped the Arts Program will be readdressed.
Ms. Wilson pointed out that Council had already made a motion to
do so and cited the section within the plan addressing this
review.
