CITY COUNCIL REPORTS (cont.)
Councilman Jot{nson stepped down to the podium to address fellow Councilmen as
a member of the Audit Committee. He explained the structure and implementation
of the new C~¥u~'.{ttee accomcling to recent (November 1983) City Chartar changes
and introduced Mr. Klaus Kunter, Cba~rnmn of the committee to address the
Council on the conmlittee's progress.
Mr. Kunter gave his background and stated the purpose of the conm%ittee is to
maintain true audit control without the political pressures so common in govern-
mental bodies. He stated that the city of Bre~mrton was one of few cities it's
size who now has an "Internal Auditor", free of the pressures that normally
retard a proper audit procedure simply by the makeup of the c~u~,~ttee and the
fact that our new Internal Auditor reports to the con~ttee, not the Council, an
elected official or a depa~.h~ent head. He said it is the main reason he consented
to serve on the conmYittee. He went through the process used in selecting this
person for the position and noted the city had many qualified individuals aoply
but it should consider itself fortunate to have obtain obtained the services of Ms.
Katsirmbas. At this time he introduced Ms. Katsirubas to speak before the Council.
In his introduction it is noted that Ms. Katsirubas has extensive background in
International Banking, internal auditing with the City of New Orleans and is
the holder of a Masters degree in Accounting and a degree in Engineering.
Ms. Katsirubas stated the objective of auditing is to fulfill and provide manage-
ment, City Council, and the Mayor a measure and evaluation of existing programs
and their functions. She stressed the importance of vamious audit functions and
schedules she plans to implement. She appreciated the independence of the job
which distinguishes the Auditor fr~n others in the city employment. It will give
her the opportunity to totally separate herself and her responsibilities from
any political thought.

Ms. Wilson noted that the most urgent project is the llth Stmeet paving and
reflectorized markers. It was noted that Rickey Road needs widening however
it is not on the amendment to the T.I .P.
Mr. Bert Gegner, 934 Washington Avenue, asked if the plan was the same plan
submitted eamlier in the y~r or the city's priority list. He was given a
copy to review from Councilman Adrian but the Council noted they will set the
priorities.
CounciLman AnD was concerned as to why Rickey Road was not on the T.I.P. and
when is the City going to widen Rickey Road, and Ms. Wilson reiterated that it
was on the original T.I.P. which is scheduled for several years to include
1984 - 1989. Councilman Johnson was concerned about when the work was going to
stamt on Austin Drive to Kitsap Way. Councilman Pachek understood that the
Street Department, with funding frc~ the 1/2¢ gas tax, will be starting the Rickey
Road project this sun~ner. Councilman Johnson questioned why we couldn't cmeate
one-way streets with diagonal parking at the same time. Ms. Wilson stated the city
will do the work however it would be unwise to arbitrarily create one-way streets
or change parking modes without the proper studies to determine the best flow of
traffic, to and frc~ the downtown core. She stated the Engineering depaz.h~,ent is
continually looking for grants for subsidy of city traffic projects. Councilman
Erouin noted that the parking at the Fa~ragut gate for motorcycles will not be
done until the channelization is cc~mpleted due to the liability to the City.
