City Council previously approved (AB86-359) the City
applying for a $50,250 Aquatic Land Enhancement Account
(ALEA) grant to develop a public beach access tower at the
east end of 4th Street. The City's 53~ match ($56,750)

contribution from Kiwanis. Subsequently the project was
prioritized highest in the State and funded from the

allocating $49,750 of CDBG funds to this project (AB86-427).
there was the stipulation that the "funds must be under

earliest the land could be acquired is October 1, 1987. Mr.
Jack Maher, Waterfront Redevelopment Manager, requested

and that the 1987 Block Grant program be amended. He
further clarified the qualification process through various
agencies noting that the City of Bremerton is now number one
under consideration for this type of grant.
Mr. Waibel expressed concern that the City Attorney had not
signed off on the Agenda Bill. Ian Sievers, City Attorney,
stated he quickly reviewed the document which looked

standard and saw no problems with the draft. Mr. Overson
felt this was one of the initial steps in turning around the
future downtown redevelopment and encouraged a do-pass.
Mrs. Long expressed disappointment that initial develop is
taking so long. Mr. Maher reiterated the reapplication
process which finally got Bremerton to the top of the list.
Further he explained that next will be an engineering permit
which is issued from the Army Corps of Engineers which will
take a minimum of 6 months, therefore the request to amend
the CDBG FY87 for as late as November 30, 1987. He stated
the City is anticipating commencing the building process in

EXTENSION OF CDBG PROJECT #K86-O17 - ElS FOR PROPOSED ZONIN6

Mr. John Dewhirst, Long-Rang· Planning, submitted a request
to extend Project #K86-017, ElS for proposed zoning
ordinance from December 31, 1986, to February 16, 1987. The
City Council approved CDBG funds to develop an gIS for the
proposed zoning ordinance with a condition that all money be
spent by December 31, 1986. Due to necessary delays caused
Risk Management concerns, the contract got a late start.
The EIS process is underway. The draft EIS has been

LIBRARY BOND TAX LEVY~ #AB87-O16
The City's Annexation to the Library District was for
maintenance and operation purposes only, according to a
Department of Revenue interpretation. The City will save
approximately $3?0,000 in 1987, as the Citizens will pay the
Library District directly through property tax assessments.
The Bond indebtedness must be handled separately.
In 1987, the District owes $127,300 on an assessed value of
$1,081,682,888. The City owes $37,359 on an assessed value
of $2,585,330. Our assessment rate is .0434, the Library
District's is .0314. In order to comply with the intent of
the Library Annexation both the City and the County will be
taxed at the lower rate, .0314 and the County Library
District will pay the city the difference of $10,350 to meet
our Bond indebtedness. Ms. McCluskey stated she never
published the second ordinance therefore it need not be
rescinded. She stated the intent was to preclude the City
taxpayers from paying more than those who live in the County
therefore the Library has agreed to pay the difference.
Although the City Attorney has not reviewed, Ms. McCluskey
stated Mr. Hugh Spitzer, the City's Bond Counsel has
approved the concept.
Mr. Johnson stated the Library District has been very
cooperative in recent years resolving issues between the
City and the district.

direct the City Attorney to prepare and return to Council a
Concomitant Agreement reflecting the Library Districts
Commitment to pay to the City of Bremerton the Difference

Mr. Waibel requested in future Council packets, a copy of
affected ordinances be attached such as when rescinding,
amending or appealing an ordinance.
VACATION OF ALLEY AND STREET BY OPERATION OF LAW, #AB86-487
MS. Kimberly Karen Masters, owner of property on South
Charleston, has requested that the north 1/2 of Porter
Street and the South 1/2 of the alley abutting Lots 6, ?, 8,
Block ?, of Port Orchard Addition, as per plat, be vacated
by operation of law. The piat of Port Orchard was platted
during the period of time from 1889 through 1894 and
pursuant to the Laws of the State of Washington 1889-90,
Chapter !9, Sec. 32, page 603, said property should be
automatically vacated.
Mr. Collins, Council Member representing this area, felt
without knowing whether or not the City has used the
property since 1889, Council is unable to make a decision
without further research.
#1272 s M/S/C/U/(Colvin/Waibei) table for two (2) weeks to allow the
City Attorney to review the laws on the subject matter and
develop procedures whereby ail departments and citizens have
an opportunity to make comment especially City departments
including, Planning, Engineering, Police, Fire, Street,
Water and Parks which may be impacted.
Mr. Collins noted that it is easy to vacate property but if
the City would need in future years, the buy-back could be
very expensive.
FINAL PLAT CHELSEA SUBDIVISION - VERL LONG - RICKEY RD.,
#ABS?-OI?
The proposed action is for final plat approval of the
Chelsea Subdivision consisting of eight lots and dedication
of Chelsea Lane. The applicant is posting a Letter-of-
Credit in-lieu of constructing the roads and utilities in
order to prevent the preliminary plat from lapsing. The
Council must approve the final plat and direct the Mayor to
sign and plat. Mr. Dave Hanna, Planner, stated the
Preliminary Plat is scheduled for expiration on January 19,
1987. He stated the applicant has met all the conditions
except #4H (pg. 49) which states..."The developer must
improve Rickey Road to a two-lane 20' width to the north
side of the proposal plat. All work to be in accordance
with City specification". Mr. Hanna noted that the
Engineering department has made the road improvements on
Rickey Road but not at the request of the property owner,
Mr. Long, and at this time Mr. Long requests that the City
delete the condition because the City made the improvements
prior to the final plat approval. Mr. Lon~ felt it was
unfair that he would be assessed, based on the value of
property abutting Rickey Rd., even undeveloped, but other
established residents in the area are not being assessed
their share for the improvements.
In response to questioning by Mr. Dawkins, Mr. Dave Baker,
City Engineer stated the primary reason the City decided to
go ahead with the improvements was because of the flow of
storm waters. There was no LID established therefore the
work was accomplished from the Engineering budget. The
TAPE #416 ~-'
City Council ~.~g. Mtg. Minutes

Page 5 of 11
original intent was to widened the Road from Sheridan Road
to East 31st. Mr. Baker said the project was completed for
the benefit of several property owners. Mr. 0verson felt
the developer should pay his fair share ($2,500) with Mr.
Homing, disagreeing. Mr. Homing cited the fact that the
plat may never be developed however other area residents
will obtain the use of the new improvements immediately and
he added that the City has no agreement from the property
owner that makes him obligated to pay at this time. Mr.
Johnson felt that since the 6-Year Transportation
Improvement Plan (TIP) is not followed, it becomes the
responsibility of the developer to assume the costs which
enhances his/her property. Mrs. Long reiterated that Mr.
Baker could not explain whether a citizen complaint or
action by the City precipitated the improvement and she
requested this be researched before making a decision. City
Attorney addressed the issue, stating it would be very
unfair to require the developer to assume costs at the
"preliminary plat" level and suggested that this could be a
condition on final plat approval.

Motion PASSED to continue for two weeks (1/28/87).
ORDINANCE #4098 (EMERGENCY~ ADOPTION OF STATE'S SEATBELT
LAW~ #AN87-018
An "emergency" ordinance is needed to' adopt the state's new
seatbelt law so that Bremerton police officers may cite
violators through Bremerton Municipal Court. The law was
not included in the Model Traffic Ordinance and, therefore,
unless the City specifically adopts it, the seatbelt law
cannot be enforced through Bremerton Municipal Court. It is
necessary for the health, safety and welfare of the citizens
of Bremerton that the law be actively enforced in the City.
City Attorney Ian Sievers was not sure this needs to be an
emergency ordinance but emphasized that, only if adopted by
the City of Bremerton, could violators be prosecuted through
Municipal Court and this is a decision up to the City
Council. He advised that the ordinance could be amended on
the floor to require the two readings as most ordinances are
presented. Mrs. Long felt there was a certain amount of
emergency need to protect the citizen's welfare and if just
one person "buckles-up" it may prevent serious injury or
worse. Mr. Collins noted that the 1986 Legislature passed
the Seatbelt law one year ago which allow local governments
to inact their own laws to be consistent therefore he was
not in favor of an "emergency" ordinance when this could
have been done more timely.
ORIGINAL MOTION:
#0275 · M/S/(Collins/Colvin) to approve Ordinance #4098, first
reading, amending Ordinance No. 3554, Section 2 (1979) to
add a new subsection adopting the state seatbelt law to
protect Health, Safety, and Welfare of the citizens of the
City of Bremerton.
Discussion continued with Mr. Waibei pointing out that the
Press has taken the teeth out of this legislation by stating
Seattle will not enforce this law. By passing as an
emergency it will get the people to take action now. Mr.
TAPE #417

Crutcher adamantly opposed to any seatbelt law as he has
read where it has been proven seatbelt can kill. He added
that states formerly adoptinG such a law have since repealed
their seatbelt legislation. Mr. Dawkins reminded Council
that in !984 the State Safety Committee visited
municipalities with a presentation favoring the adoption of
this law. The City of Bremerton attempted to be the first
in the State to adopt on the local level but efforts failed.
Mr. Johnson stated, if unadopted, citizens ticketed will
appear in District Court which also may cause more Court
time for local officers out of their immediate area so there
is a cost consideration. Mr. Colvin concurred and would
support the seatbelt law. Mr. Horninq clarified that the
motion is stated as a non-emergency. Mr. Overson felt it
was an emergency nature and there is no intent to go through
a long process.
AMENDING MOTION:

POSITION ON SPECIFIC ISSUES FOR CONSIDERATION DURING THE
1987 LEGISLATIVE SESSION~ ~ABS?-019
I~. Johnson, Council Legislative Affairs Officer, gave a
short overview of the purpose of the Resolutions and the
need for state lawmakers to support municipalities view
point. He noted that the City of Bremerton and Association
of Washington Cities are not always in agreement, citing
examples.
Ms. Ruth Davie, 151i Park, ask consideration to postpone
allowing adequate public notice for more citizen input. Mr.
Andrew Paryapa, 1122 Hayward, was in favor of the Resolution
banning fireworks.
Mr. Horninq suggested a format, allowing discussion on each
Resolution, with Council voting a recommendation to the
state. Mr. Dawkins asked if Mr. Johnson could prepare an
additional Resolution addressing support of the Ferry System
and subsidization. He felt Kitsap County has the highest
impact in the State because of the dependency on ferry
transportation. Mr. Johnson concurred and would prepare the
Resolution for the meeting of January 28, 1987. Mr. Waibel
was not in favor of postponing the recommendations scheduled
for this agenda noting Agenda Packets are available at the
Public Libraries, and adequate advertisement has been done
on Public Access Channel #29. Mr. Waibel commended the
efforts of Mr. Johnson as this task was extensive. Several
Council members concurred with Mr. Waibel's position.
#1028 · M/S/(Collins/Overson) to give blanket approval for Resolu-
tions #2139 - #2154.
Mr. Homing and Ms. Long were opposed to blanket approval.

MOTION WITHDRAWN by the second and maker.
Resolution ~21S9 - to pass legislation promoting economic
development and promoting enterprise zones. Mr. Johnson
summarized this to mean that the State has defined depressed
areas and once identified something can be done. This gives
a specific area the ability to negotiate and encourage
economic development. Ms. Lon~ was opposed to the
Resolution because of the immediate tax advantage to new
businesses which she felt unfair to those established in the
area. Mr. Colvin disagree noting that Norfolk, VA has
encouraged new business in their area which eventually pay
taxes. Mr. Overson stated statistically the State of
Washington in #49 in development nationally and Oregon #50.

limiting their use to public displays performed by qualified
persons. Mr. Johnson stated throughout the state fire and
police jurisdictions, along with state agencies have lobbied
to gain control over the hazards of fireworks usage. He
said the problem is not so much the "legal" fireworks but
the availability and use of illegal fireworks which can be
purchased on indian reservations. Mrs. Long spoke in
opposition because she felt this controls the market, by the
State by limiting to Public display/purchase only. Mr.
S/evers City Attorney stated there are still some fireworks
considered "legal" for purchase in the state. Mr. Waibel
suggested a review before approving.

Resolution #2150 - to allow cities to publish "invitation-
for-bids" in a trade journal or similar publication instead
of the official publication of the City. Mr. Johnson said
presently, by State law, cities are required to contract
annually with a local publication for legal notices. This
means we have to advertise locally whether or not it is the
proper market. Ms. McGluskey stated the media has a
tremendous lobby in Olympia and this has been costly for
cities. She added the City now has a Public Access Channel,
#29, which can be used for this purpose. Mrs. Lonq asked if
this would violate the City Charter with Mr. Sievers, City

In conclusion to the Resolution presentation, Mr. Horninq
commended Mr. Johnson's efforts and stated this was his
methodology in his appointment of Mr. Johnson. He added
that the City will be in a much better position to have the
draft Resolutions FY88 in place when the State Legislature
reconvenes for a new session.
Mrs. Lonq noted that she attended the Association of
Washington Cities Conference this past fall, and it is
encouraging to see the Bremerton City Council becoming
aware. She suggested the proposed Resolutions FY88 be
available prior to the AWC fall convention instead of the
first of the year.
Mr. Crutcher qualified his opposition votes stating several
of his constituents asked for a postponement for a week or
two. Although he voted a blanket "NO" he was not against
all the Resolutions. Mr. Colvin emphasized the need to get
this paperwork in Olympia as soon as possible.
