PUBLIC RECOGNITION
Ms. Jean Jackson, Chairman of the Mayor's C~ttee on Disabilities, thanked
the Council for establishing monthly council meetings in a Handicapped location.
She noted that the parking lot, with it's slope, would not allow a handicapped
individual access, should he/she he wheelchair bound because of the inability
to park a Van and unload without major assistance. She suggested Sheridan
Park center as an alternate site.
Mr. Cliff Die.s~, Director of Adult Day Care Center, stated he is having pro-
blems with the Building Depaz~,~nt in gaining occupancy for the handicapped
because of corrections nc~ed to comply with Codes. Councilman Anderson stated
that he should deal directly with the Mayor to resolve this problem. Council
has no authority on A~ministrative matters.
Ms. Lena Swanson, had two suggestions for Council forum; (1) all Consent Agenda
items,that involve a cost to the City, should have the amount listed, and (2)
thought the City should do sc~me research into the telephone system as she was
against 3 separate c~panies providing the same service.
She stated she felt the Townhall meeting held September 25, 1984, was a success
with nearly 100 individuals present to express their concerns.
Four individuals, Louise Whitehead, Chuck Slaughter, Jean Jackson, and Ms.
Caulman all spoke in support of the Adult Day Care Center.

FINANCING A "MAIN STREET PROGR~/4"; #AB84-489
Ms. McCluskey presented a request fr~n the Planning depa~L~nt for a three-year
c~'~,¥.~ttment by the City to appropriate $15,000, each year, for a "Ma~n Street
Program". She said there will be three participants, City, the Merchants and
Property owners of the downtown business core, who will share in the financing
of the program. Br~merton is submitting an application to this program and
Mr. Joe Gero, Planning Director, stated that he has successfully established
an interest in the program by both the Property owners and Br~merton Merchants.
He introduced Mr. Rich McDonald, General Manager of Bremer's Incorporated.
Mr. McDonald outlined the program stressing the 4 el~nents which include,
Organization, Prcmotion, Design and Economic restructuring. He said Main
Street cities hire a full=time project manager who receives technical training
and periodic on-site visits from National Main Street Center staff for a one
year period. The project manager ~rks with business and property owners to
assist in activities such as: c~,,Lon store prc~otions; renovation of building

facades; and, recruitment of business to the downtown area. He said he bas
received good support and was happy to announce that both Bremer's, Inc. and
the Soriano Family are willing to support the program, if the city will c~L~.~t
it's share. He stated that along with financial support, participation will
be a key factor.
Mr. Gero ~hasized that the application is due Friday, therefore a decision
must be made tonight whether or not to support and c~,~L.~t the money. Council-
man Sturdivant asked if t_he City oould withdraw it's support at a later date
if either of the two entities, Merchants or Property owners,fail to raise
their share. Mr. Gero responded affimatively. Councilman Amo asked if the
boundaries could be defined with Assistant Planner, John Dewhirst sta~ng,
frc~ the Shipyard north to 6th Street and frc~ the Shoreline west to Park
Avenue. Councilman Anderson said the figure requested is small as c~-~ared to
the potential for downtown revitalization. Councilman Johnson expressed con-
cern that other projects, requested by Council, would be delayed. Both Mayor
Dawkins and Mr. Gero assured Mr. Johnson that staff time would be minimal
because a project manager is hired through the funding established. Mr. Gero
further stated that the City's share would be out of the Hotel/Motel fund
which bas in excess of $300,000.
#03230 · M/S/C/U/(Sturdivant/Horning) to allocate $15,000 annually, for 3-years frc~
the Motel/Hotel tax for the City's share in "Main Street Program", provided
that; (1) the City of Bre~erton is chosen to participate, and (2) that a
minimum of $36,000 per y~r for the next three years, be raised and conmlitted
by the other downtown interests ~4erchants & Owners).
Mr~ Bert Gegner, 934 Washington, was skeptical of the program, suggesting the
TAPE #181 Council reJearch further. He was reminded that the application must be filed
no later than September 28, 1984.

establishing the position of Director of A~ministrative Services; renaming the
TAPE %182 position of City Planner or Planning Director; providing for an organizational
structure of City functions; defining the City's non-union management positions
and setting forth for those positions a benefit plan; requiring a performance
appraisal syst~n for non-union management personnel and providing Council con-
firmation standards and a review procedure for non-union managsment functions.
Councilman Arno asked if strict control would govern medical examination, required
uD~ler this ordinance of those over 40. City Attorney Broughton stated definitely.
Ms. Lena Swanson felt sc~e parts of the ordinance have real merit however she
still felt it was based on personalities. She suggested Council bring in an
independent consultant firm to establish Management benefits.
Mr. Bert ~, feels the ordinance should not be addressed until the citizens
have voted in~ ~e November ballot whether or not to accept Organizational Struc-
ture. He thought total cost to the taxpayers should be noted.
Mr. Kenneth Hughes, 1523 Bradley, was concerned that the State L~C~F laws may
Supercede changing any benefits on those presently in position grandfather in,
such as the Chief and Assistant Chief of Police and the Assistant Fire Chief.
He was specifically addressing the medical/dental premi~ns presently afforded
the afor~entioned.
Ms. Lean Swanson feels the ordinance is in violation of the City Charter.
Mr. Hiestand responded to Mr. Hughes' concern stating Assistant City Attorney
Killian gave a written opinion that the City can adjust certain benefits with
City Attorney Broughton noting that the State ~ law only addresses medical
treatment, not premiums. Councilman Arno wanted clarification on why Police
and Fire can choose either sick leave or disability leave with City Attorney
Broughton cautioning dispassion on a matter now in litigation.
Councilman Sturdivant expressed grave concern over numerous issues he felt
were unanswered. He said it has been a month since Council has discussed;
he objected to the fact that he felt it is not a good document and costly,
noting c~issions of verbiage or ~rds; thought the cafe plan to be too generous;
noted "Bereavement Leave" does not address or define "~¥,¥~diate family" and
directed to Mr. Hiestand a question,regarding the 38 individuals covered,
whether they even want benefits as outlined in the ordinance.

Mr. Hiestand responded with the following figures; 1984 -~ $1,08-5 ~ 000 .00 vs
$1,326,000.00 under the present benefit structure and 1985 u $1,900 ,-000 . 00 vs
$1,509.000.00. He stated that present benefits amount to 28%, however, should
the Council pass the Management ordinance, they will decrease to 22% annually
for a 6% benefits savings on one segment of ~loyees covered by the City.

'~ GOLF CAR~ PURCHASE CONTRACT~ #AB84-490
Ms. McClUskey presented a request f~ Field Services department to enter into
a contract for the purpose of ~a~an~ availability of the Golf Carts, used
by the Professional, to the Course. An appropriate method of ensuring this is
to sign as co-makers and ~arantor on the Conditional Sale Contract Note. If
the City signs as ~antor or co-maker, in the event that the Golf Professional
heccmes unable to make payments, because of disability, termination or otherwise,
the City would assume ownership and maintain the capability to run the course and
use the carts. It is rec~,'~nded by Field Services Court Prisk for Council
approval and authorization that the City act as Guarantor on the Golf Cart

Ms. Lena Swanson asked the value of carts and how many with Mr. Prisk stating
20 Carts at apProximately $63,000.00 valuation. ~Mr. ~ Gegner asked why the
City just doesn't buy the carts outright and get it overt %~ith-.~' Mr. Prisk explained
that much of the revenue received by a Professional is derived frc~ cart rental
fees and this is the reason we have been able to attract such qualified indivi-
duals when the position has be~_n vacant. City Attorney was of the opinion that
it would violate State law for the City to purchase the car~s for the pro.

SERVICE AG~FF~T ~OLF PRCFESSI~, #AB84-491
Ms. McCluskey presented a request frc~ the Field Services depaz~ent to enter
into a Professional Services Agreement with Scott Alexander, a PGA Golf Profes-
sional. The City Attorney and the Golf Course Board of Directors have negotiated
an Agrc~.--~ent with Mr. Alexander and it was noted that he was one of the 5 top
individuals considered for the position in February, 1984. He is well qualified
and his background and knowledge of t~e~-ton and Gold Mount~4n Golf Course
will be a tremendous asset in the promotion and continued rebuilding of the
Course. Field Services Director Court Prisk and the Board of Directors rec~,,~nd
City Council approval. City Attorney noted several changes in this Agreement
as c~-~red with the one held by the previous Professional.
~ Mr. Bert Gegner questioned if the Agreement was in the best interests of the
City. Mr. Prisk responded that, within the new A~3rc~---aent, we have the tools to
excercise the contract. He stated the maLn difference over the previous contract
is that the compensation is different.
Councilman Sturdivant did not want to change the section 2(h), Page #2, and have
the Pro answer to the Field Services Director. He thought the previous method
was totally acceptable whereby he answers to the Parks Superintendent wb~ knows
what is expected. Councilman Pachek was concerned that the Pro had to wait
until monthly Board meetings to get direction or answers. He stated that was
a ccmplaint of the out-going Pro.

CCJTFLICT CF INTEREST km/VER/~I~ JIM D/DR/AN, #AB84-494
For the record,--Councilmen Anderson and Adrian both left' the meeting due to
"conflict of interest" with Councilman Drouin assuming duties of President
Pro-tern0
Ms~ McCluskey presented, for Council consideration, a Conflict of Interest
Waiver drafted by the City Attorney's office. Councilman Jim Adrian is
interested in applying for and receiving a Section 312 loan under the City of
Bremerton Housing Rehabilitation Program. As federal funds ere involved,
Federal regulations must be ccmplied with. These regulations problbit City
Council members frc~ receiving Housing Rehabilitation Loans due to a Federal
conflict of interest regulation. Our office has inquired of the Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as to whether or not it is possible
to receive a waiver of the conflict of interest provision. These contacts
have indicated that a waiver of conflict of interest may be obtained, but
that such waiver should be concurred in by both the staff and City Council.
Enclosed, in Council packets, are doccT~nts frc~ HUD, as well as frc~ staff,
indicating that a waiver would be appropriate in this situation. Recc~nended
action is that the Council move to request a waiver of the HUD conflict of
interest regulation for the purpose of the A~rian loan application.
City Attorney stated that in order to obtain a waiver there are 4 tests
including a need for Mr. A~rian to obtain a Resolution. Mr. Joe Gero,
ty Develo~xnent Director, stated that we have to be first concerned with the
housing needs of our cu[,~,~ity. He noted that if Council does not grant the
waiver, we stand to lose approximately $30,000.00 without the Resolution.
Based on the merits of the building, Mr. Gero said it would appear to qualify.
He noted that if we do one building we must do the same to the surrounding
neighborhood and he stated that this is in the area of the South Court apart-
ments on 7th and Warren Avenue. He said by granting the waiver, we are not
granting the loan, merely allowing the U.S. Depa~h~nt of Housing and Urban
DeveloD~ent opportunity to grant or deny the application.
Mr. Bert Gegner felt granting the waiver was in the best interests of the
City and urged approval.
Lena Swanson, stated op~ositi~ against loans for profit from Federal money.
Councilman Pachek felt the neighborhood in question needs the renovation and
~ Councilman Sturdivant stated he should not be prohibited frcm applying, if
legal, and that HUD determines whether is granted the loan.
#1613 · M/S/C/U/(Johnson/Pachek) to approve Resolution #2051, granting Mr. Jim Adrian
a waiver on Conflict of Interest, enabling Mr. A~rian to exercise his option
of applying for Section #312 HUD loan. VOTE: In favor; Sturdivant, Homing,
