COUNCIL MEMBER REPORTS Mr. Overson reflected on his "quick" trip to Canada and the many areas to be visited between Bremerton and Vancouver B.C.. The Fiscal and Budget Committee met on April 25, reviewing several budget adjustments as well as considering some changes to the facilities plan for the year to possibly take better advantage of the economies. Also had an Errors And Correction Review Committee meeting, which went well and he noted the process is winding down as there are no additional applications for errors to the Zoning Ordinance. An announcement was published which stated that the corrections process was coming to a close, however, the Zoning Ordinance is subject to change. Mr. Crutcher attended the event at Kitsap Mall this weekend which recognized Black pioneers of the northwest. The event was well attended and the Bon Marche did a superb job sponsoring and coordinating the event. Mr. Waibel stated he had the privilege and honor, as well as other members of the Council, to attend the Reunion of the Dolittie Crew off the USS Hornet. It was one of the most moving and significant ceremony tying together the past and present both in terms of the children to members of the Dolittle crew and armed services personnel. This event really showed the commitment the City has to the military and the commitment of the military to our community. On Saturday he participated in the TAPE #631 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes April 26, 1989 Page 2 of 10 Spring Clean Up by picking up litter and noted the event may have been more successful than the City was prepared for. The collection dumpster at Sheridan Park Recreation Center was overflowing. Also, two of Mr. Waibel's sisters-in-law, from Bellevue and Seattle, assisted in the clean up effort, thereby bringing an inter-city effort. Mr. Johnson reported he met with Mr. Andrew Parypa, Mr. Jim Strait by absentia, Lt. Plumb, City Attorney and staff to review proposed changes to the Animal Control Ordinance and was very pleased with the result of that effort. He compiimented Mr. Parypa for doing such a thorough job looking into the ordinance, cross referencing to other City ordinances and RCW's. In fact, through his effort there will be one or two changes brought to the Zoning Errors and Correction Committee for their review. Ian Sievers, City Attorney, stated he had never seen anyone do as exhaustive job as Mr. Parypa, catching all the loose ends, including RCW's referencing to found property which blended into lost animals. Mr. Johnson report his previously reported sewer spill at Kitsap Lake did not turn out to be an actual sewer spill, however, he did contact the Health Department and requested that they test the area to protect the public from any contamination. Also, on Monday evening he viewed an Armed Forces feature on Channel 29 which he felt was excellent. He felt it pertrayed what Kitsap County is and that the program could be used to sell defense related projects and industries to our area. He suggested sending a copy of that program to our Congressional legislators to use in the future. And, he thanked those participating in the program and suggested that future public interest programming be announced during the City Council meeting. Mr. Johnson stated he looked over thorougniy Flagship '89's Quarterly Report and noted there are still two items in the report which he is concerned about: (1) still has not been decided, at least at Committee level, to delete the item that talks about changing the form of government, keeping an eye on the Council and possibility of reducing the number of Council Districts. What he read in the Quarterly report was that they may want to approach these items under different terms. At the time the Flagship contract was approved Council was assured that these issues would be deleted. (2) Flagship '89 would not be leaning on City staff for reporting... yet one of the most major items for City staff input was discussing what will be done in the area of organization of the Utility, what will the tax structure be, etc. And, as part of this the Utility Director is to make a report to Flagship on this topic. Mr. Johnson stated he has been waiting for this type of information from the utility since serving on the City Council and questions the appropriateness of Flagship's utilization of staff's time for an extensive report when the City Council hasn't been able to obtain it. Mr. Colvin announced this week is "National Recognition- Secretaries Week" and he congratulated all the Secretaries in the City for a job well done. He attended the Recognition Of Black Pioneers Of Kitsap County - a very inspiring event. He also attended the Reunion of the Jimmy Dolittle's crew off the USS Hornet. He noted the ceremony was very inspiring and ne had the opportunity to met and sit next to the wife of the lead pilot of the "fly-by" of Navy Jets during the ceremony. Mr. Colvin thanked all the citizens who participated in the Clean Up Week. He noted the count is not in yet of all the organizations who participated and he thanked the news media for the excellent coverage - The Sun, KITZ, KBRO, Focus, and TCI. He thanked Ken Brees, Street Superintendent and Dick Mumma of the Building Department, fellow Council members who participated in the clean up effort and last but not least Don Lindren and his crew for their outstanding assistance. Also, he asked organizations who TAPE #631 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes April 26, 1989 Page 3 of 10 participated to please call the City Council office and provide information as to how many members were included in their group and a description of their particular project during the Clean Up Week. This information is needed in order to forward the information on to the State who will be issuing Certificates Of Appreciation to each participating group. Mr. Dawkins attended a Ferry Rider's Coalition meeting in Olympia where they discussed ferry issues. There is the possibility that funding may not be available for the two passenger only ferries now under construction. He also artended the Reunion of the Dolittie crew off the USS Hornet and complimented ex-Mayor Gene Nelson for an excellent joD in organizing and coordinating the program. He too found the ceremony to De very inspiring. Also, during the "Clean Up Of The Century" he observed so much junk being disposed of it may cut a whole century off the life of the disposal site. Mr. Collins thanked the young men who were working on the City trucks picking up litter on Saturday and he wanted the citizens to know that these men were not on overtime but they had odd shifted in order to work and be part of the clean up. They were working at their normal rate of pay on what should have been their day off; and he was impressed with the way these men interfaced with the citizens. Mr. Collins had just returned from a business trip to Norfolk and Portsmouth, Virginia and was very much impressed with the development of their waterfront properties, which included walking malls, restaurants. He noted these two cities are similar to Bremerton in population and problems. He had the opportunity to present the Mayor of Portsmouth with a Key from the City o~ Bremerton. Mr. Horninq he also attended the Jimmy Dolittle recognition and found it to be very impressive and one thing will stand out- when Miss Washington sang the last note of the National Anthem a major fly-by of four jets came over. He found this to be very moving and he congratulated Gene Nelson and all of the individuals involved in the organization of the event. PROCLAMATION Kathleen McCluskey, City Clerk, read a Proclamation recognizing the YWCA of Kitsap County as a dedicated service to women and girls through community services and social action. And, the YWCA's ASK (Advocates For Support For Kids) which is charged with education and advocacy for the custodial parent in pursuing uncollected child support. Mayor Gene Lobe preclaimed April 27th as the "1989 CHILD SUPPORT AWARENESS DAY" in the City of Bremerton. Tamy Hukil, Executive Director of the YWCA, accepted the Proclamation and announced that any one in the audience who was not paying child support and who should be to be aware that people are becoming more aware of this issue and the public is not willing to have their taxes raised for people who have a legal obligation to render legal support for their children. And, she announced there will be a YWCA Candlelight Vigil on Thursday, April 27, at the Port Orchard Marina, 6:30 pm to dusk. PUBLIC RECOGNITION - None 6A - CONSULTANT CONTRACT: HARBORLANDS UTILIZATION STUDY- AUTHORIZATION TO SIGN, #AB89-112 The Department of Natural Resources desires to identify potential uses of submerged harborlands it controls in the City of Bremerton. The purpose of the listing is to attract appropriate uses and to facilitate decision - making for proposed uses. The City has selected John Latourelle and Associates from the small works roster to provide the product. #1119 TAPE #631 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes Aprii 26, 1989 Page 4 of 10 Council must authorize the Mayor to sign the contract. Don Pratt, Director Community Development, stated the Department of Natural Resources controls most of the tidelands and harborlands around the City of Bremerton, some but only a few are under local private ownership. In all cases when someone wishes to use tidelands and harborland that are under DNR control they must obtain a lease from the Department of Natural Resources. The DNR has a State policy they follow - only certain uses are allowed. They are now finding that the State policies are outdated and need to be more responsive to modern uses. They have conducted an economic analysis at the City of Port Angeles- what types of uses should occur on harborlands - and they are going to try to market that information. They have approached the City of Bremerton with the same idea to identify potential uses rather than having the DNR only in a responsive mode to only what people are requesting. They have offered the City a $10,000 grant which the City Council approved acceptance of that grant. Now it is proposed that those funds be used along with $2,500 of "in kind" already budgeted to hire a consultant to write the analysis under the City's management. Mr. Overson questioned if there is any possibility this use study will recommend that a fish farm be an allowable use? Mr. Pratt stated there is that potential, however, the City has identified a list of preliminary uses which are to be reviewed initially and then others added; and establishing a fish farm is not one of the ones included on the preliminary use. Mr. Johnson questioned what kind of experience and similar jobs has the recommended consultant had? Mr. Pratt stated John Latourelle was the Planning Director for the Tulalip Tribe which has a large fishery and under his directorship they received a million dollar grant to develop the fish hatchery located there. He was also Director Of Planning for the City of Edmonds and redid a Shoreline Master Program. Mr. Johnson stated his concern that the issue of locating a marine at lower Marine NAD Park might be considered and he was not in favor of giving it further study. Mr. Pratt stated that the consultant will look at potential uses, regulations and what the resources are and if the three do not go together then the use would drop out. Mr. Colvin questioned how binding are these uses for the City and do we have any latitude to approve what is best for the City? Mr. Pratt stated the product of the report is only an analysis of potential uses and recommendations to make changes, either capital improvement or regulatory changes, if the City desires to attract any of those uses. There is no binding capability to make the City do anything. Looking at the negative side, it could be that a use pops up that is very attractive to DNR that is not attractive to the City and it is the City's obligation to effect Ordinances as the City sees fit. The City does write the Shoreline Master Plan, the DNR cannot contravene that plan and if something is not in that plan then a Shoreline Permit is not issued. M/S/C/U(Overson/Horton) to authorize the Mayor to sign contract with John Latourelle and Associates. 6B - PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH DAVID EVANS AND ASSOCIATES, #AB89-113 The Gold Mountain Golf Course Board Of Directors and City Council through the 1989 budget has approved the completion of $106,000 worth of Capital Construction projects at the Golf course. The projects range from facility infrastructure repairs to course improvements. #1272 TAPE #631 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes April 26, 1989 Page 5 of 10 To facilitate the timely completion of the 10 construction projects the City will secure project management service through a Professional Services Agreement. The Parks Department and the Community Development Block Grant Program through a lengthy interview process has selected the professional services of David Evans and Associates. The Parks Department requests approval of the attached agreement with David Evans and Associates to complete the Golf Course Capital projects at a rate of 7~ of the total budgeted capital project funds. Mr. Dawkins pointed out that the list of capital projects includes a number of areas at the golf course that have been sliding along and needed to be addressed. He noted the only problem is the fact that there are not enough hours of daylight to get all the players on the course - golf is getting to be more popular all the time. One of the more visible improvements is the staking off of the path to be used for the golf carts, thereby keeping them off the playing areas. Mr. Johnson questioned why the fairways were not looking as well as they should? Mr. Dawkins explained that the groundskeeper has airified the greens and fairways, which makes it a little unattractive for a short time, however, when watered the new grass comes up thereby improving the course. M/S/C/U(Dawkins/Collins) to authorize the Mayor to sign the Professional Services Agreement with David Evans and Associates. 6C - ENGINEERING SERVICES CONTRACT BETWEEN THE CITY OF BREMERTON, KITSAP COUNTY SEWER DISTRICT #1 AND WASHINGTON STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FOR THE HIGHWAY 3/304 SANITARY SEWER RELOCATION PROJECT, #AB89-114 The Washington State Department of Transportation and Kitsap County Sewer District #1 have requested that the City of Bremerton Engineering Division provide the engineering services required to monitor the construction of the Highway 3/304 Sanitary Sewer Relocation Project. The Sewer District has no engineering personnel and would have to retain a private consultant to perform the work. The Washington state Department of Transportation requested that the City provide this service to expedite their project. Mr. Johnson stated even though he personally did not like the State's design of the proposed interchange the City has no choice in the matter and the work required must go on. He also expressed concern over traffic backup problems that will be caused by construction of the proposed interchange. Mr. Collins stated he had a problem with the City's Engineering Department doing reiocation of a sewer when there are other needs from within the Engineering Department which have not been completed, such as an EIS for one-way streets. Mr. Stemkowski stated the Mayor has made the sewer project one of their top priorities, so other things will fall out and not be completed this year. Mr. Collins questioned what type of things will not be completed? Mr. Stemkowski explained he was not sure at this time, however, one of the Kitsap Way projects may not be completed. President Horning questioned since the State is paying for the engineering services, couldn't the City staff-up and/or are we getting near to the time that the State will be taking over Kitsap Way? Mr. Stemkowski stated the State will not be doing anything this year as far as taking over Kitsap Way as a State route. The City is continuing to put money into Kitsap Way- TAPE #631 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes April 26, 1989 Page 6 of 10 most of it being federal monies - and when the State does accept it as a State route they only pay to maintain between the curb lines so the City would still be responsible for all the sidewalks and everything else outside of them. Mrs. Horton reported the Operations Committee met with Dave Baker on the issues relating to the State taking over Kitsap Way and a letter has been sent which addresses this issue and identifies several concerns of the City. A response to that letter has not been received yet but she wished to go on record noting the City's questions and concerns. A copy of that letter was also sent to the Department Of Transportation as well as local legislators. Mr. Waibel stated he would not be willing to approve this agreement until the relationship between the Sewer District and the City is more clearly defined. This is something the City is getting pulled into and stuck with any problems that are created. He suggested that a "Hold Harmless" agreement or conditions agreed upon be included in the contract. Ian Sievers, City Attorney, stated the City's standard "Hold Harmless" agreement can be inserted, having the Utility hold the City as its agent harmless, in the contract under Section 14. He did not feel the State would have any objections because it simply redefines the relationship between the Utility and the City as the contractor. He could not comment at this time whether or not the Utility would agree to this change but would pursue this with them. #1678 M/S/C(Waibel/Dawkins) to authorize the Mayor to execute the agreement for engineering services with the Washington State Department of Transportation for the Highway 3/304 Sanitary Sewer Relocation Project along with the addition of a "Hold Harmless" clause between the City and the Utility. Vote: In Favor: Abstain: Overson, Crutcher, Horton, Waibel, Horning, Collins, Coivin, Dawkins Johnson 7A - ORDINANCE (FIRST READING) OLYMPIC CABLEVISION: (A) TRANSFER OF FRANCHISE; (B) CORRECT SERVICE AREA, #AB89-115 On November 9, 1988, the City council approved the transfer of franchise, payment of back due franchise fees to 1/1/88 and acceptance of amended maps including PSNS and Jackson Park in the franchise area. Finalization of the transfer was contingent upon Olympic broadcasting the public access channel in those areas. Olympic has completed the necessary installation and is providing this service. Kathleen McCluskey, City Clerk, stated she is in receipt of a color coded map of their area of responsibility and they have signed, as the Charter requires, a statement indicating they accept the amendment to the franchise. Mr. Dawkins questioned the number of the channel on which the access programing is available? Mr. Johnson stated it is located on Channel 32. Mr. Waibel stated he wants to make sure that the City intends to follow up making sure the services are provided throughout the City limits and by incorporating a map that is coded with limited future expansion of the franchise into other areas of the city. Ms. McCluskey stated the Franchise says that if they serve any area in the City they have to provide all the services provided to the rest of the City. And, an amended map would be needed if an area were expanded. #1808 TAPE #631 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes April 26, 1989 Page 7 of 10 M/S/C/U(Crutcher/Johnson) to approve Ordinance, on first reading, amending Ordinance #3981 to authorize transfer of said franchise from Olympic T.V. Cable, Inc., to Olympic Cablevision Limited Partnership and amend the service area to include Jackson Park and Puget Sound Naval Shipyard effective January 1, 1988. 7B - RESOLUTION #2245 - ENCOURAGING THE USE OF RECYCLING AS A MEANS OF REDUCING SOLID WASTE BURDENS ON PUBLIC AND PRIVATE RESOURCES, #AB89-116 As an outcome of the recent Council of City Councils meeting, April 18, all cities were encouraged to present the attached Resolution for each respective Council's consideration in an on going effort to address the issue of recycling and solid waste management within Kitsap County. Mr. Johnson provided Council members with a revised Ordinance and noted that the copy provided in the Council packet was an excellent starting point. He felt that there were some things missing from the proposed Resolution: (1) it addressed residential recycling - it did not address commercial or industrial recycling; (2) it did not request or address our legislators to take actions to provide incentives for people to build businesses which process recycled material nor did it make any effort to build markets for recycled materials. The revised Resolution includes the above two items, collection and processing as well as marketing of products. In talking with Mr. Earl Smith of the Economic Development Council, who agrees if the Cities gets on board and collectively in Kitsap County together early on, there are excellent opportunities for new industries, new jobs in processing certain commodities. Maybe the most controversial issue that will come up in the future will be looking at finding ways to stop the introduction of non-recyciable waste and unnecessary waste into our waste stream, such as styrofoam, plastic rings on pop cans, plastic dry cleaner Dags, etc., and there are a lot of ways as incentives and not necessarily defined as punishment that problems can be resolved. A lot of the packaging seen in the stores is partly due to customer convenience and the other is to reduce shoplifting. Companies have shifted the cost of individual security people to packaging and that cost is being born by citizens paying for land being taken up with landfills. Kathleen McCluskey, City Clerk, read the revised Resolution into the record. Mr. Johnson stated he has requested a report from the Department of Navy, which may be a leader in recycling efforts - using the USS Nimitz as a study area. Basically, the Navy has told ships like the USS Nimitz that if products are not biodegradable it does not go in the ocean. They have identified a lot of ways to make as much of their waste biodegradable as possible, otherwise they have to store it until they return to port. Jim Adrian, 621 Washington Avenue, stated recycling is only part of a comprehensive management waste program. It is a very serious subject and will be the issue of the '90's for Kitsap County. He referenced the Resolution that was included in the Council packet...Item #4.."it shall be the future policy of the City of Bremerton to favor establishment of a suitable and convenient location within the City..", to his understanding there is a recycling place, known as Peninsula Recycling. He was not sure of Council's intent of this statement. Mr. Johnson pointed out this section is not included in the revised version of the Resolution because the private sector is doing the work and also left it open that if the City needs the private/public TAPE #631 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes April 26, 1989 Page 8 of 10 cooperation something can be developed. Next, Item #5 - "t~fty~{ Bremerton will aid in this effort by encouraging where practical all departments to separate .... ", Mr. Adrian questioned if this section stayed in the revised version? Mr. Johnson explained yes but only in more general terms because he did not want to limit it just to the three or four items. Mr. Adrian stated this was a great statement and it should be a little more on point and mandatory. He felt the City did not need to "encourage" but should "set the policy". There are several cities through out the State of Washington, Seattle being one of the leaders in the nation, that have set very clear policies. On this they have requested their departments come back with interdepartmental recycling policies. If the Council is serious about recycling, then it is their responsibility to set the tone so that the City can be a leader. Some of the things that can and are being done are: ban use of polystyrene products when there are acceptable substitutes, ban use of soft plastic products when there are acceptable substitutes, (Seattle has banned all these products from Seattle Center, City Municipal buildings in Seattle, Parks facilities, Parks Concessionaires); review purchasing policies and in all RFP's provide incentives for doing business with businesses engaged in recycling as part of their business or corporate policy; to solicit bids for all paper products from suppliers using only recycled materials; another thing that could have been done during the City clean up was to set items aside, such as wood, plastic, metal; coordinate through Sub- Regional Council to request that other representatives of their government include some sort of standardized policies so that any businessman doing business with cities or other governmental entities in Kitsap County - polystyrene products and soft plastics will not be tolerated. Mr. Adrian reported a Referendum was placed on the ballot in Minneapolis/St. Paul area which asked the citizens if they wanted the two cities to ban the use of polystyrene products and soft plastics in all commercial, retail and wholesale operations and that ballot measure passed by an 804 margin. They allowed a two year implementation period because they felt it would take that long to work its way up to the Supreme Court to determine the Constitutionality of it. A concerted effort was undertaken by Mr. Adrian along with several of his tenants to actively recycle waste materials. As a result of that effort, they were able to reduce their actual garbage waste from 5 cans to 11/2 cans per week. He noted that even though they had reduced their waste output, Brem-Air Disposal Inc., continued to charge him for the 5 cans. Apparently Brem-Air is interpreting the ordinance as mandatory garbage pick up one can per residential unit in the City of Bremerton. Unless there are some dedicated citizens who want to recycle there is truly no financial incentive. His recycling effort covered a 3-month period during which time he was in a dispute with Brem-Air and as he could not dedicate additional time to try and resolve the issue he did not pursue the issue. Mr. Adrian stressed the City Council needs to establish policies and set up the infrastructure of a mechanism to make it easier to recycle effectively. Also, he had an experience during the Spring Clean up - he had five cans of paint, couple cans of paint thinner, old chemicals for killing vegetation and found it very difficult to find a place of disposal. He briefly outlined his difficulties in being directed through Brem-Air - to Hazardous Waste Hotline/Olympia- County Health Department - Kitsap County Landfill - DOE/Olympia- Hazardous Waste Hotiine...having not received any assistance from the previous agencies/entities, Mr. Adrian called 911's non -emergency number and they suggested calling the City of TAPE #632 TAPE #631 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes April 26, 1989 Page 9 of 10 Bremerton's Ffre Department who in turn suggested Mr. Adrian~'~'~'~ called the County Landfill. He expressed concern that Bremerton being the size it is there is surely a very large amount of hazardous wastes being accumulated and it appears there is no where locally to dispose of it. He emphasized that he was not being critical, however, there is a long way to go, lots of people who need to be educated and the mechanisms established for appropriate disposal of waste materials. Mr. Colvin noted there are no set dates in the felt there should be some type of reporting make sure something is happening. Resolution and he dates included to Mrs. Horton expressed concern that there isn't enough thought into the design and manufacture of large appliances, such as, refrigerators, as to how these items will be disposed of in the future. There are a lot of things like PCB's which are being sprayed on nuts and bolts, which are hazardous. People are now realizing that as the older appliances and products have reached the end of their life recyclers are rejecting them because of the hazardous waste materials being used in them. She urged including in Item #3 a statement - "planning for the recyclability of materials and appliances" In this way it would be using foresight today in how to dispose of those products in the future. President Hornin~ noted he personally found out how difficult it is to dispose of vinyi tile which contains asbestos. Mr. Collins cautioned the City Council to think carefully before policies are made or directions given - not jumping into something just because it is the right thing to do at the time. President Hornin~ noted that the revised Resolution, presented by Mr. Johnson, does bring out a lot of things for public thought. Mr. Waibel noted that there will probably be discussion on this issue at the Council Study Session scheduled for Monday - May 1- and he suggested tabling this particular issue for a few days and finalize the Resolution in a couple of weeks. Mr. Overson noted he also had a similar incident as Mr. Adrian in searching for a place to dispose of hazardous type materials and through that search did find that there are drop points within the City to dispose of oils. Mr. Johnson noted that in addition to changes that were already considered, the main one was that the Council desires a mandatory internal City recycling by department. In response to Mr. Colvin's concern that there was not a date to report back, he suggested including one for the internal City departmental areas, however, found it difficult to apply a date to other areas, such as State legislators, etc.. Mr. Crutcher stated he was in favor of the Resolution but the City Council should realize that it will be amended in the future as needed. Mr. Johnson emphasized the point that he felt the private sector is capable of assisting in finding sources for recyclable materials, that the city governments and County governments should work toward resolution of problems. President Horning noted he agreed on the recycling issue, however, the landfill siie is another issue and the cities must accept what is being offered through the County or to have their own. #0140 TAPE #632 City Council Reg.
