award. He noted in the past ten years there has not been much
emphasis on garbage but suddenly the educational aspects have hit
home and they are pleased to see the citizen involvement because
without their support nothing can be achieved. And, no single
system will solve the solid waste problems...it will take a mix of
waste reduction, recycling, landfill and incineration. And, they,
as an industry, are willing to assist the City in their efforts in
terms of recycling or anything else relating to waste management.
Councilman Colvin also thanked Kathleen McCluskey, Director Of
Administrative Services and Merilynn Erhart, Council Legislative
Assistant for their part in setting up the presentation of awards.
Councilman Russ Johnson introduced Doris Zacher of Weyerhaeuser,
Waste Paper Fiber Recycling Division, and member of the Pierce
County Recycling Roundtable Committee. Ms. Zacher stated the
division she works for is part of the Weyerhaeuser Paper Company
and that division has been in existence for about 15 years and
involved primarily with the collection of wastepaper, which they
consider a raw material and called secondary fiber. Emphasis was
originally started when they were required to find this raw
material to support their own mills. Since that time they have
grown significantly so that now there are 15 collection plants
located throughout the United States, two of them being located in
Washington State and two in Oregon. Their emphasis is on the
collection of wastepaper from commercial industries, businesses,

offices, stores, which includes high grade office paper, computer
paper, white paper, colored paper, cardboard. Ms. Zacher provided
a 16 minute video tape, which was prepared by the American Paper
Institute, giving a general background on paper recycling, how it
happens and showing some of the materials that are made with
recycled paper.
Ms. Zacher stated there has been a lot of paper recycling that has
been going on for a very long time and there are many companies set
up within private industry who do recycling. This would include
companies not only like Weyerhaeuser but the small local recyclers
and haulers. Within that framework they try to work together to
make sure that they can service the amount of material that is
being collected. Many organizations are already doing some type
of recycling program. In the Pierce and King County areas
Weyerhaeuser deals with over 500 companies that have some kind of
recycling program going, whether it be collection of office paper
in the normal office building to taking care of waste material at
print shops or servicing cardboard requirements at the local store
level. And, when ever they can they like to work with the local
recycling companies to try and improve the efforts they have going.
The more recycling is talked about and the more mandatory programs
are set in place there are some parts of the market that are
deteriorating. Most of the time mandatory programs start promoting
the lower grades of wastepaper, newspaper (what they commonly call
mixed paper). So, what is happening now with newspaper grade and
some of the low grade mixed waste markets is that there are not
enough mills to pick up the demand for the supply that is being
created. It is important to take note that different paper mills
have different requirements for the kind of raw material they might
accept. Weyerhaeuser mills will consume computer paper to make
white line or board or other kinds of white paper. A lot of the
color tissue paper is used for making tissue products...paper
towels, kleenex, etc. Much of the lower grade paper is used for
chipboard, cereal boxes or wall board. The only thing they like
to caution when speaking to different groups is to stress how
important it is to be careful when setting mandatory type programs
and to make sure the focus is in the right direction.
Other items in business such as cardboard and high grade papers -
there still is a high demand, are still quite valuable and can be
collected quite efficiently.
President Hornina questioned if there are more markets being
developed? Ms. Zacher stated yes, industry is looking heavily into
how to increase the amount of consumption of those grades of paper
that are being collected at the greatest rate.
Mr. Johnson noted Kitsap County and a number of other
jurisdictions have passed procurement regulations mandating the
use of recycled products whenever possible and also by our
contractors and vendors.
Georae Cvitanich, Executive Director Washington Waste Management
Association, stated with the passage of House Bill 1671,
specifically there were three areas where market development was
the prime importance and without it there will be little progress
made.
President Hornin~ announced Item 6C had been pulled off the Agenda.
6A - CIVIL SERVICE RULE CHANGE #9, #AB89-228
The Civil Service Commission passed a Civil Service Rule change on
June 27, 1989. Former Rule 9.09 read "Appointing authorities shall
not participate in any facet of the examination process." Rule
9.13(c) read "The Civil Service Officer may request proposed
examination questions from departments..." The Rule change
TAPE #664
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
August 16, 1989
Page 4 of 9
clarifies that department heads cannot participate in any facet of
the examination process with the exception of provisions in 9.11(b)
(formerly 9.13(c). This will help eliminate ambiguity in the two
rules.
In order that the rules follow a more logical sequence:
- the new 9.09 B was formerly incorporated in rule 9.09
- the new 9.09 C was formerly rule 9.13 E
- the new 9.11 B was formerly 9.13 C
- the new 9.13 A is one paragraph, formerly two paragraphs
- the new 9.13 C was formerly 9.13 D
Leila Mills, Attorney for the Civil Service Commission, stated this
matter was before the Council on July 26 and at that time elected
not to approve the change. She again outlined the intent of the
Civil Service Commission and their desire to clarify the intent of
the rule and to delete the conflict. She noted that the change
would allow both employees within a department as well as the
Department head to submit questions which may be considered to be
used in the examination process.
Mr. Collins expressed concern that delegated authority would be
taken away from the Department Head and handed down to lower level
employees. Ms. Mills stated what is being proposed does not change
anything that has occurred in the past under the present rules.
Mr. Collins pointed out currently employees are allowed to submit
questions but they are submitted through the Department Head and
what is being suggested is that they be submitted directly to the
Civil Service Officer.
Mr. Waibel pointed out that the rule presented to clarify existing
rules may not be really clear in its intent. He expressed concern
that the proposed change would indicate that the only function of
the Department Head would be to collect the questions from
employees and place them in a sealed envelope. He did not think
this was the intent of the Civil Service Commission. What the
Council may be saying is that if in fact the past practice was to
delegate the creation of questions to the employee level it may be
the Council's desire to change that practice and are asking the
Civil Service to look into whether or not the Department Head
should be the one producing the questions. If the Department Head
feels the need to solicit questions from his employees to perform
that function the Council would have no problem with him doing
that, but the responsibility of developing the questions should
come from the Department Head level. Ms. Mills pointed out again
that the suggested rule change would not change the current
practice.
Mr. Crutcher noted he disagreed with some of his fellow Council
members because many times the employees are just as bright or
brighter than management. He feels it is important to encourage
employee input and it would not take the Department Heads authority
away. Mr. Waibel pointed out the language as proposed says the
employee will place the question in a sealed envelope which will
then be forwarded to the Civil Service Officer, thereby passing
over the Department Head. Ms. Mills stated it is the Civil Service
Officer's position to determine which questions are important and
which should not be used. And, the way the rule is proposed it
does allow for employee input. Mr. Collins disagreed and stated
one of the first tenants of management is that "you can delegate
authority but cannot delegate responsibility" and under those rules
the Department Head is responsible for the directing of the
employees within that department and is responsible to the
City/Mayor/Council for the direction of those employees. If the
Department Head does not have the authority to provide the
questions how can the Department Head build any type of an
organization, cannot change the direction of the organization even
255~
TAPE #664
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
August 16, 1989
Page 5 of 9
though it is directed by someone in higher management; and, he
feels the Civil Service Officer is not all knowing of requirements
of every department. The only people the City has within its
organization that are responsible are the Department Heads; and,
Department Heads are not under the control of the Civil Service
Commission.
Mr. Colvin questioned what was the reason for this proposed change?
Ms. Mills stated that particular aspect is that there is no
involvement in the actual administration of an examination or
scoring of an examination where there would be the opportunity for
the Department Head to have an affect on the way an examination is
given, room for any bias or some sense of unfairness.
Mr. Crutcher noted management is no better than the employees
working for them.
M/S/C(Waibe1/Collins) to return this item to the Civil Service
Commission and have Ms. Mills present Council's discussion and then
come back with an answer whether or not they agree with Council's
position.

7A - ORDINANCE (FIRST READING) ALLOWING THE CABLE COMMUNICATIONS
ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO INCLUDE MEMBERS WHO RESIDE OUTSIDE THE CITY,
#AB89-231
At the request of Mayor Lobe, applications were sought for the
Cable Advisory Committee. We advertised on the Character Generator
as well as asked members to submit names. Three applications were
received, each from outside the City. It is recommended that
Teresa Hove' be re-appointed. Ms. Hove' was appointed to fill the
unexpired term of Elliott Swanson for about one year. She has
expressed an interest in serving a full term (three years -
expiring May, 1992). She is a very active, knowledgeable volunteer
for the cable program and has been an asset to the Committee.
Mr. Crutcher cautioned the City not to say, "it is ok to spend your
money" or "it is ok to help clean up our City" but it is not ok to
serve on our Boards and Commissions"
Mrs. Horton pointed out that through one of the Charter changes
3103
APE #665
TAPE #664
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
August 16, 1989
Page 6 of 9
passed by the voters there is a provision whereby the Council could
waive the requirement if an appropriate applicant was not available
within the City. She stated she has no problem with allowing
people living outside the City to participate on boards but there
needs some reference to the Charter change that was passed and the
proposed ordinance needs to reflect that change.
Mr. Waibel stated his problem with any provisional made or
exempting people is that he does not think the first step was taken
in doing what the citizens wanted, which is "what is a sufficient
process for attempting to get participation by Bremerton residents"
and at what point the City can say that process has been completed
satisfactorily. Mr. Waibel noted the City is getting excellent
service by individuals serving on the Cable Access Channel filming
crew and not all are residents of Bremerton. He suggested a
committee of the Council come up with what would constitute a
"searching process"
Mr. Collins noted Mrs. Hove' is an outstanding person and has done
an excellent job and in this particular case it might be
appropriate to waive the requirements of the Charter change but
only for Mrs. Hove'... not a blanket change for the Committee. He
did not believe effort made to seek applicants constituted a search
and he suggested having Councilmen Johnson and Waibel and himself
develop "what constitutes a search".
M(Collins) to disapprove Ordinance - no second.
Mr. Colvin questioned if the proposed ordinance is in accordance
with the Charter change? Ian Sievers, City Attorney, stated yes,
this is the kind of exception that the Charter change anticipated.
Another interpretation is maybe we need an exception if qualified
candidates cannot be found. Either interpretation is within the
intent of that change. Mr. Colvin noted for clarification that
this proposal only applies to the Cable Advisory Committee not a
blanket ordinance for all committees. Mr. Sievers stated that is
correct and those two different intents may show up differently in
different ordinances creating committees. For instance, there may
be an Arts Committee where broad community input is desired
therefore it would be opened to non-resident citizens. Other
committees where only an exception is granted because no one is
available would be written differently.
Mr. Johnson stated having served on the Charter Change Committee
and having a feel for the real intent of the citizens who sat on
that committee, their intent was whenever possible they wanted
Bremerton residents to be in the decision making roles of the
City. In this particular case he suggested writing a section into
the ordinance that would expire after a certain period of time that
would say: "after a thorough search of the citizens of Bremerton
it is clear Teresa Hove' is the most qualified and is hereby
appointed to the term which expires May 1992". President Hornina
suggested inserting in Section l(e) Ms. Hove's name and expiration
of term and questioned if this would work? Mr. Crutcher pointed
out that also included under that section is the wording "and staff
members need not reside within the City of Bremerton". Mr. Johnson
pointed out staff members to committees do not have to be residents
and he did not understand why this was included. Mr. Sievers
stated staff are formal members of the Committee and that is why
it was included. Mrs. Horton suggested eliminating "and staff
member" from the ordinance. Mr. Sievers stated more consideration
needs to be given whether an ordinance can be passed which meets
the Charter provision which seems to focus on the Charter or
ordinance which creates the commission or to continue into all time
and have a lasting affect on how that Board or Commission is put
together. Mr. Johnson suggested inclusion of the wording in the
ordinance: "for the term expiring in May 1992 the Council may
)245

confirm someone outside the City due to lack of qualified
applicants. Mr. Sievers stated that suggestion would work, also
it could be written stating that "if the Council is satisfied there
are not any qualified applicants within the City" then it would be
done on a case by case basis. Perhaps the idea of writing a
procedure for the Mayor to follow is the best procedure.
Mrs. Horton stated once a procedure has been established then
wording can be included which states "members need not reside
within the City of Bremerton if the procedure does not produce a
viable candidate".
M/S/C/U(Johnson/Colvin) to approve ordinance, on first reading,
with the following change: create a term on the Cable Advisory
committee that expires in May 1992 and that the Mayor be authorized
to recommend and Council be authorized to confirm a non-City
resident for that term.
M/S/C/U(Crutcher/Colvin) to appoint Teresa Hove' to the vacant
Cable Advisory Committee position effective upon final passage and
publication of Ordinance.
President Horninu appointed Councilmen Johnson, Waibel and Collins
to form a committee to develop procedures identifying "what is a
search for qualified candidates to serve on City Boards and
Commissions". And, President Horning named Councilman Collins
Chairman of that committee.
7B - ORDINANCE (FIRST READING) CORRECTING ERRORS ON THE ZONING MAP
ALONG WYCOFF AVENUE SOUTH OF SIXTH STREET (WHITLOCK ZONING MAP
REVIEW), ~AB89-232
On May 17, 1989, the City Council conducted a public hearing to
accept public comments and to consider a recommendation from the
Zoning Review Committee for the correction of zoning errors along
Wycoff Avenue, south of Sixth Street. The review was initiated by
Cecil Whitlock, a property owner.
The City Council agreed with the Review Committee's recommendation
and voted to approve these corrections. This ordinance completes
the process.
Ron Houah, Planning Manager, stated that as the date (May 11) for
requesting a Zoning Review drew to a close a number of applications
were filed and kept the staff and Zoning Review committee busy
through May and June.

7E - ORDINANCE (FIRST READING) SETTING BENEFITS AND SALARY OF THE
LEGAL SECRETARY II POSITION, tAB89-234
The proposed ordinance amends ordinance #4160 to include the Legal
Secretary II position in the City Attorney's Office. This is a new
job title for the former management position of Legal Assistant.
Duties are unchanged.
A new employee has been hired into this position and has been
tentatively offered a salary range at Wage Grade 10, with starting
salary at Step A. The employee salary adjustment plan and benefits
are tied to the City's non-uniform employees contract which has
been the practice for the other three employees covered by
Ordinance #4160.
Ian Sievers, City Attorney, stated this item is before Council for
two reasons: (1) to expand the ordinance that contains the three
positions in Council Office, Personnel Office and Mayor's Office
and he felt the position of Legal Assistant (old title) is very
similar to the level of responsibilities and duties of those three
positions; (2) the position up to now has been included in the
Management group at the lowest paid level and there have been
problems due to the salary being close to a Union position.
Therefore, for that reason he would like it included under the same
salary adjustment and benefit program of the ordinance which covers
the other three named employees, which will have the steps matched
to the Union employees. There is no difference in salary for Grade
10 and old management salary range.
M/S/C/U(Crutcher/Colvin) to approve Ordinance, on first reading,
an amendment requiring that benefits and salaries for Legal
Assistant to the City Attorney's Office be set by employment
contract and amending Ordinance #4160
M/S/C/U(Waibel/Collins) to approve Employment Contract for Jackie
