PUBLIC RECOGNITION
Mr. Stan Christensen, 419 Plum, criticized 3 Council Members
for walking out at last weeks meeting during Mrs. Long's
presentation. He felt it gives the impression that "minds
are made up" regardless who speaks before Council. Mr.
HorninC advised Mr. Christensen that Mr. Ken MacKenzie will
have the requested summer water rates available within the
next few days.
Mr. Joe Stadler, 908 Park Avenue, stated that, contrary to a
decision made by Council, Mr. Mentor is being allowed to
violate the present Zoning Ordinance regarding the work
being done on his parking lot (Mentor's) which is adjacent
to Mr Stadler's residence.
Mr. Cal Litchmann, 205 High Avenue, complained about; (1)
garbage displayed at 212 High; (2) the scrap lumber
(previously reported) still there (owner on "Ethics"
Commission), and (3) announced that the crew of a WWII
Minesweeper is coming to Bremerton for a reunion.
Ms. MarV McKeown, 1722 Gregory Way, complained about; (1) at
the corner of High & Burwell - hedge allowed to grow large
presenting a liability to the City; (2) at 1727 Gregory -
garbage piled on the premises which she reported to the
Mayor being a fire and health hazard; (3) against taxing
long distance phone calls, and (4) at 1726 Burwell - high
grass, which again poses fire hazard.
Ms. Fannie Be~lau, 1523 6th Street, stated she has a letter
in the Bremerton Sun, this date, criticizing the three
Council Members who walked out on Mrs. Long's presentation
the previous week. She felt their action would intimidate
other women from running for office (specifically Council)
which could use more female representation.
Mr. Joe Stark, 207 Anoka, (1) stated his grievances are the
same as reported at last weeks Council meeting and hoped the
citizens asking for copies of the ordinance were furnished
same; (2) Stated he complained about a street light out and
was given the 3rd-degree by the individual answering the
complaint.
Mr. Hornin~ noted that Agenda items #6A and #TF are similar
in nature therefore will be read in that order.-
LEASE OF WATER DEPARTMENT PROPERTY FOR CITY PARK, #AB86-390
Ms. McCluskey read into the record a letter from Mr.
Spitzer, Bond Counsel, regarding the ballot title and that
it is proper.
After lengthy negotiations, the Parks Department and the
Water Utility have reached an agreement on the lease of
Water Utility property for a City park and future sports
complex. The lease provides for an annual payment to the
Water Utility of' $350.00 per acre per year. This value
represents a true and accurate fair market value for the
leased property. In the event that a sports complex is not
.constructed by the end of 1988, this lease will expire by
its own terms. In the interim, the property can and will be
used as a City park. Mr. Ray Foley, Parks Superintendent
corrected the "impact" statement to read; (1) $1,750
remaining in the last 3 months of 1986 which is available in
the Parks Budget; (2) $?,000, which must be included in
Budget negotiations for 1987, and (3) from 1988 on, it is
anticipated that the revenues derived of operation of the
Sports complex will pay for the Lease costs.
Mr. Stan Christensen, 419 Plum, said his interpretation is

that with this Lease, the property will

then become
Mrs. Lonq asked that should the Lease not get Council
approval, would the City then be unable to spend the money
on the 20 acre parcel. City Attorney Bill Broughton stated
that was correct, as relates to this parcel, but the City
could build on another site. Mrs. Lonq objected to spending
$1,750.00 'for the balance of 1986, Without knowing whether
the Bond Levy will pass and felt it was a possible waste of
money. She was totally against the procedures used and also
objected to the agenda item repealing Resolution #2130, also
on tonight's agenda. Mr. Horninq stated it was very clear
that supporters were lobbying for the Sports Complex as the
main focal point of the levy.
Mr. Dawkins joined the meeting at 6:03 p.m.
Mr. Collins stated his electorate was well informed of the
Parks Improvement Levy and was confident they would vote
intelligently. Mr. Foley noted there were several sites
evaluated.
Mr. Richard Newell, 1330 Elizabeth, supports the Parks
Improvement Levy and was of the opinion that what youth does
today will carry on in their adult life.
Mr. Crutcher felt assured that the Bond Levy Supporters will
distribute literature prior to the election to enable voters
to make a fair decision. Mr. Overson was also concern about
the amount of the Lease and requested clarification of
costs. He felt it would be only a short term debt. Mr.
Bill DuffV, Water Utility Superintendent, noted that costs
were figured on a 80-year maturation before harvest of the
timber. He stated that if the complex is not built, it will
not interfere with the projected harvest. Mr. Johnson was
critical that, in it's present condition, it certainly
cannot be utilized as a year-around park. He asked if the
property is projected for annexation with Mr. DuffV
responding affirmatively. Mr. Johnson suggested that the
proposed Park be annexed before construction is implemented
to obtain the B & 0 tax on contractors. He also was
critical that there seems to be no "plan" or coordination
for this acquisition. Mr. Colvin stated he could not
support Lease in it's present form and suggested
the Lease amounts be decreased substantially.

CONTRACT MANAGEMENT a OPERATIONS OF THE CITY FLEET
(EQUIPMENT RENTAL) CONTRACT AWARD, #AB86-391
Mr. Gii Johnson, Purchasing Agent, gave a lengthy overview
of the consistent problems experienced by the Equipment
Rental Division. This included several changes in elected
officials, changes in Public Works Directors, including
several foreman/supervisors in charge of this operation. In
September, 1986, the City prepared, advertised and
distributed requests for proposals for contracted management
of the Fleet Maintenance Program. Three qualified firms
were invited to participate in the RFP process. One
proposal was received, one firm declined to bid and the
third offered no response. Since receiving the proposal in
January, the City has been negotiating with ARA/Managed
LogiStics Systems (ARA/MLS). Negotiations have been
protracted due previous changes noted in personnel. Both
the prior and current City Councils have reviewed in Study
Sessions. The basis for the recommendation to contract the
City's Fleet Maintenance program is summarized by benefits
of cost, training, management information, short and long-
term service and cost benefits, management and operations
expertise. This Contract would be for a three-year (3)
period in the amount of $453,483.00.
Mr. Johnson introduced Mr. Nobel BeardsiV, Regional Manager
of ARA. He stated his firm has present systems in 8 other
locations, some smaller or larger in size. ARA presently
services over 10,000 pieces of equipment. Mr. Douq Bush,
Secretary/Treasurer - General Teamsters #589, presented an
additional document to each Council Member which he felt
indicates it would be more costly to contract out. Mr. Joe
Stadler, felt this was a management problem and once a firm
enters the picture as a contractor, the price may go up in
future years. Mr. Stan Christensen asked that the public be
made aware of documents given Council during meetings,
especially when not in the packet available for the public.
Discussion followed with Council Member Johnson noting there
are two issues; (1) whether or not to contract out and (2)
whether or not to accept ARA's proposal. In response to Mr.
Colvin's question, it was noted that present staff would be
assured a job with the Contractor for a period of 120 days
with similar benefits/salary. Mr. Bush stated however, even
the contractor admits the cost is $23,000 more than doing
the Equipment Rental Fleet in house. Mr. Bush made the
following observations: (1) It will cost the City more; (2)
Employees indicated to the Mayor that there was a management
problem in February of 1986, and (3) figures show the costs
to the City may be greater than $23,000. He concluded
stating that city departments must stay within their
respective budgets by State law however the contractor will
be allow an overage. of 15~. Mr. Bush further noted that the
management position to supervise this operation was not
filled during 1986 which compounded an already serious
problem of mismanagement.

Mrs. Long said there were many unanswered questions,
especially where the City is somewhat responsible by not
hiring the properly qualified supervisory individual. Mr.
Gil Johnson stated this is true but this in an on-going
problem in all departments where money is not available in
the budget to train management or 'existing employees He
noted that there was a concerted effort to attract
contractors by requesting proposals through trade journals,
etc. however only three were in consideration and one
actually made a proposal (ARA).
Mr. Hornin~ stated he will support contracting out. Mr.
Crutcher said he was sensitive about the issue and was not
in favor of contracting out because of the position it puts
existing employees. Mr. Colvin wanted what was best for
both the employees and the City. Mrs. Lonq expressed her
concern for Budget problems the City is facing and future
finances and she saw this proposal as an increase in City
expense. She was in favor of getting a new management
person within the department and not contracting out.

Mr. Russ Johnson was critical that advertisements were on
the State level only. Ms. Judith Katsirubas stated she
worked several months with the Purchasing Agent Mr. Gil
Johnson and found that efforts to seek a proper proposal
were within guidelines established. Mr. Waibel noted his
concern that, under this proposal, the contractor would make
50~ of any savings. He suggested a change in this verbiage
to include 35~ on the lst' 15% and 50~ on the remaining
savings to the contractor.

Mr. Don Pratt, Planning Director, gave Staff report and
support of the necessity to continue Mr. Maher's contract
for another 9 months (June 30, 1987). Mr. Maher works under
a Personal Services Contract with the City. The current
contract expired September 30, 1986, and Mayor Lobe wishes
to continue the efforts of Mr. Maher. A list of projects
underway and accomplished was furnished in Council packets.
Mr. Roy McGinnis, 2711 Maple Street, stated he was aware
that this contract has been in effect for approximately a
year and he is in favor of development in the downtown. He
asked when some of the construction/proposed projects will
be visible. He will request a meeting with the Mayor. Mr.
Collins responded, in part to Mr. McGinnis, noting (1) the
Museum relocation; (2) Shoreline Amenities; (3) Lobbying for
the foot ferry, and (4) lobbying for the Fishing Pier. Mr.
Johnson expressed his appreciation for the work Mr. Maher

REVISED 1986 CIVIL SERVICE RULES - #AB86-394
Mr. Dave Hiestand, Personnel Director, stated the goal of
the Personnel Department and the Bremerton Civil Service
Commission has been the complete rewrite and legal revision
of the City's Civil Service Rules. The Rules were presented
tO the Commission on February 20, 1986, for pubic hearing
and study. Now, after many hours and months of hearing the
Rules, employee input/discussion, they are approved by the
Commission and ready for Council confirmation. They are
"legal state of the Art" and provide increased protection
for the City's interests in managing it's workforce. With
the probable Reduction-in-Force (RIF's) that may occur by
the end of the year; this draft will allow more fair,
impartial disposition of a difficult situation. Mr.
Hiestand stated that much of the draft was taken from the
City of Kent Rules which have become the "Model" rules
throughout the State of Washington.
Mr. Douq Bush, Teamsters' #589/Representing Non-Uniform City
Employees, commended the long hours the Commission has

devoted to finalizing this draft and, although there are
disagreements in a few areas on both sides, they are much
better than the Rules the City has operated under in the
past few years. He encouraged a do-pass because of the
possible RIF situation.
Mr. Stan Christensen felt, even if the Rules are passed, it
takes only one meeting to change the intent in the future.
Mr. Collins was concern that (Page 18) when the Civil
Service Commission has rendered a decision, there is no
appeal rights with Mr. Hiestand stating an employee then has
the choice of pursuing Civil action which would be the next
avenue of appeal. Mrs. Long thanked both the employees and
the Commission for it's efforts in creating a document more
consistent with what the City needs. Mr. Waibel stated
these are model rules meeting the current laws and he will
support.

ORDINANCE (FIRST READING) AMENDMENT TO ETHICS ORDINANCE -
#AB86-395
Mr. Bill BrouGhton, City Attorney, noted that there are
still some gray areas within the "Code of Ethics"' Ordinance
passed by the previous City Council. He stated that
employee groups ob3ected to signing off that they
"understood" the total document, therefore two minor changes
in verbiage are before Council with a recommendation to
approve, including:
Sec.13 - Line #7; strike "and understand" to read -
..and read...
Sac.13 - Line #8; strike the word "/requirements"
Mr. Brou~hton gave as an example, when is an employee guilty
of using city owned property such as the ink from a pen
(owned by the City) to write a personal check which is
categorized as a diminumous infraction of the Code. However
these areas will need to be address by the Ethics Committee
once it is in place and rules developed. Mr.. Waibel
requested that the words "and read" and word "requirement"
be inserted and add that vacancies not filled within 60 days
be filled by the Council.
· M/S/C/(Waibel/Cruther) to approve an ordinance, first read-
ing, amending Ordinance No. 3967, Section 13, to eliminate
the requirement that employees acknowledge that they
understand the ordinance, and insert the words "and read"
and "requirement" and that any vacancy not filled within 60-
days be filled by the Council. Mr. Overson was not in
favor of a Code of Ethics and felt there were other areas
that are difficult to understand or may be interpreted more
than one way and would not support.

ordinance. She stated that the City has three
representatives to the Puget Sound Governmental Council
(Local), same as the County, therefore she did not feel the
City would have less say on the amount approved for each
years budget. She gave a brief background stating the
Emergency Management program was recently placed under her
supervision. She stated local entities, cities, counties,
fire districts, etc. all must pay their prorated share to
fund this program as requirement by State law. Ms. McCluskeV
stated in the previous years the City went through the
normal Budget process for this expenditure. She noted
Section lOB gave the County Budget authority.
Mr. Waibei noted there is nothing in the Orainance, Section
10, stating when the budgeted costs must De to the user
agencies which is a poor way to operated. He suggestion
adding the verbiage that the ...Council shall adopt a buaget
at least 90 days p~ior to the end of any calendar year.

UTILITY TAX, #AB86-396
Ms.Paula Johnston Business Tax Inspector/Auditor, presented
Staff report and explained the need to amend previous
ordinance addressing the taxing of Electric and Telephone
Utilities. There are three changes made in the existing
ordinances which include: (1) Slow down the rate of the
ramp down of the telephone and power utility taxes; (2)
raise the phone tax to the 1985 rate as authorized by
SHB1892 and (3) tax intra State toll calls.
Mr. Stan Christensen was concerned that taxes in the City
are reaching a Very high point. Mayor Lobe responded that
funds and legitimate revenues are needed to provide the best
services the City can afford, and with the Revenue Sharing
dollars drying up this year, the City must utilize all other
possible areas to earn the highest dollars to off-set the
loss.
