The property is off Rickey Road east of E. 29th Street. It was the recommend- ation of the Planning Commission for approval for 10 lots with five two unit structures. This had previously been approved 1-2 years ago for eight lots with single family dwellings. Ken Attebery, Planning Director, stated the applicant was now request- ing to amend his original plat for duplex development. This proposal has been through Planning Commission, meets all legal requirements and feels the developer has found a balance to meet with the approval of the neighborhood. City Commissioners Meeting January 19, 1982 Page Six JEWELL HEARING CONTINUED: Mr. Dave Jewell, applicant, stated he feels this is a viable project in that it allows individual ownership and that due to projected costs he would like to have a 12 lot with 6 duplex units, rather than the 10 lot with 5 units, as recommended by Planning Commission. He feels the project is compatable with surrounding property. He stated he intended to start the project in early spring when the ground is dry. Commissioner Swanson discussed with applicant, the involvement he would have in the improvement of his property as it sides on Rickey Road.

JOINT BREMERTON-KITSAP COUNTY HOUSING AUTHORITY Clerk stated a letter had been read into the record earlier from Mr. Gene Kennedy, Bremerton Chamber of Commerce regarding the housing authority, urging council to wait on a decision until an opinion had been received from HUD. Also read was a letter from Mr. Bob Kennedy, Commissioner, Housing Authority, City of Bremerton, County of Kitsap, urging Council to wait for an opinion from HUD prior to making a decision at this time. He stressed that the proposed ordinance as now presented would dissolve the present Board of Commissioners of the Housing Authority and t?~is would result ~n the violation of the annual contribution contract between HUD and the HA and would violate the terms of the cooperation agreement entered into by the HA and the local government bodies. This would in effect, terminate the power and authority of the existing HA, thus impos- ing numerable problems with respect to the Conflict of Interest provisions of the public housing program . He recommended leaving the present HA intact or amend the ordinance, Section 4, to leave the Board membership as it is, appointed by the Mayor of Bremerton. City Commissioners Meeting January 19, 1982 Page Eight JOINT HOUSING AUTHORITY HEARING C©NTINUED: #1447 Mr. Bill Mahan, Kitsap County Commissioner, gave a brief history of the laws governing the formation of the HA. He stated that all munici- palities in the county have seen fit to adopt the ordinance. The forma- tion of a joint HA will enable the smaller municipalities to be considered for larger portions of grant monies and will in no way take away from the city's share. This would also open more areas of low income housing within the county as well as the city. He stated the City's assets are protected completely in the ordiance. 1.) The assets of the City would return to the City if they decide to pull-out at any time. 2.) The date of enforcement of the ordinance has been changed to Feb. 1, 1982 instead of January 1, 1982; this allows time to work with HUD regarding contracts and agreements. 3.) We should comply with all applicable state laws and regulations; in the end, if HUD says "no", the City is under no obligation to continue with the joint HA. Mr. Gerald Matosich, Attorney for the Bremerton-Kitsap County HA, dis- tributed copies of a letter he had received from HUD the preceding day. In the letter it stated that if the present HA were to dissolve as of Feb. 1, 1982, serious problems related to HUD contracts, would arise. With the dissolution of the present HA, payments would cease. This action would affect landowners,Section 8 Existing Program, the Section 8 New Construction and Substantial Rehabilitation Programs and the Low Rent Public Housing Program. Also stated was that the Seattle HUD office has not yet received an answer to its questions addressed to the Office of General Counsel, Department of HUD, Washington DC regarding possible conflicts of interest that would arise under this proposed ordinance. It was indicated that it would not be foreseen to reach an answer from them by February 1, 1982. Monthly payments lost by this action would be $265,347 and annually the figure would be $3,184,164. He submitted a copy of the Suggested Transcript For The Organization and Establishment of Housing Authorities in Cities in Washington for review, stating that if the laws were adhered to, there would be no way that this could be formally accomplished by February 1, 1982. He citied RCW 35.82.030, where it appeared that HA are created by the State, but the cities and counties do not have the authority to dissolve HA. RCW 35.82.060 gives provisions for removal of commissioners from the HA and this requires notices and hearing before they can be removed from office. He felt that by the request ~ for their resignations without just cause, proper notice and hearing, this was a direct viola- tion of State Statute. Commissioner Swanson stated the HA Board is political, as it is appointed by the Mayor, and he is tired of hearing it is not. When appointed by the Mayor, they are responsible to the Mayor, and feels they should have submitted their resignations when asked for, the Mayor can remove them. Commissioner Stewart stated they have not had much contact with the Board in the past but he is presently receiving the type of reports he has requested and them responsive. He appreciates the payment in lieu of taxes and this amounts to approximately $30,000 .annually. Commissioner Swanson felt that unless we force HUD into a decision, we will not get an opinion. City Attorney MCCluskey stated that one of the amendments was that if the ordinance was not approved by HUD, that the HA would be brought back to the former status. He commented we could continue as two separate entities until approved by HUD as a joint HA, that way there would be no dissolvement, but a merger. He stated that if the legisla- ture allows joint Housing Authorities they must allow the dissolving of one. City Commissioners Meeting January 19, 1982 Page Nine JOINT HOUSING AUTHORITY HEARING CONTINUED: Ms. Marion Derrig, member of Board of Commissioners, stated the commissioners did not hand in their letters of resignation when asked by the Mayor, as they were in the middle of this transaction and did not feel it was in the best interest of the ~. Spencer Horton, Marine Drive, representing Kitsap County Home Builders, ~1942 stated he felt the HA was to serve all people and that the low income should also have the right to live anywhere within the county, rather than be limited to the city. He feels if elected officials are res- ponsive to the needs of the people they will recognize this change is needed. #2030 Art Anderson, feels that more and more people are applying for Section 8 funding to rent a home that has taxes levied on it. He feels the people are moving into the City for the conveniences, rather than living in the country. Darrel Griek, Director of Housing Rehab Program,stated that t~e City of Bremerton was awarded $104,000 for 25 Section 8 Certificates. In this particular demonstration program there is a limited amount of time to complete the project. In the time frame discussed for the formation of the Joint HA, he felt his project could be eliminated as there was not enough time, he was looking at the end of October. He did reply that he could ask for an extension of time for the project. Jim Adrian, rental owner in town, stated he has three rentals subsidized by Section 8 funds and if these should be cut-off, it would work a hard- ship for his tenants and himself as well. Mayor Nelson addressed Gerald Matosich regarding the position HUD would take in recognizing this joint HA and asked if he felt they would an opinion by February 1, 1982. Mr. Matosich replied he did not feel they would. Bill Mahan, felt that HUD does not want to get involved in local issues and that they will come up with other reasons not to make a decision. He thought the effective date could be set for March 1, and a decision obtained from HUD within six weeks. He felt the State laws provides for this change, that previous legislation had approved it. He felt the State could be challenged if necessary. Mrs. Joyce Sisk, suggested direct communication with the President. Commissioner Stewart stated he realizes not all areas of low income housing pay taxes, that they use a great many of the city facilities, bus, schools, etc. He does not like the idea of cutting off funding from rent subsidized landowners and will not take action today to cut those people off, this would cause a lot of problems within the community. City Attorney McCluskey stated he would suggest that we amend the ordinance to include the housing authorities as presently formed, would continue as independent entities until HUD approval is received for transfer to joint body. HUD may drag their feet. He did not want to see funds cut off at this time. City Commissioners Meeting January 19, 1982 Page Ten JOINT HOUSING AUTHORITY HEARING CONTINUED: Commissioner Swanson indicated he feels we are only changing manage- ment and not dissolving. He expressed his feelings over the lack of response in the past frc~ the HA, and as a Commissioner of Public Works, he got blamed when something went wrong, whether it wasa poor choice of property purchased, maintenance of streets and sidewalks, etc. He felt money would continue to come from Section 8. He said the public expects some control of the HA and do not feel we have it in this case. Mayor Nelson stated he resented the letter from HUD attorney ar~ivingi~. the day prior to this hearing. That if it was intended to give some input in making recommendations, it should have been delivered sooner. Motion by Mayor Nelson and Commissioner Swanson to give HUD until March 1, 1983 to hand down their opinion; that we endorse'~the Joint Housing Authority Ordinance, with the additional protections as stated, and having all legal documents prepared by March 1, 1982, carried as follows: Mayor Nelson, yes; Commissioner Stewart, no; Commissioner Swanson, yes.

Also read was a memo from Commissioner Swanson to Council, reco- mending Wayne Hamilton, Water Department Foreman, to act in the status of Plumbing Inspector until further notice and during the time we work out details of a program with the county. He stated Mr. Hamilton qualifies by our present ordinance. Motion by Commissioners Swanson and Stewart to accept the appointment of Wayne Hamilton to temporarily act as Plumbing Inspector until such time an agreement can be worked out with the County, carried unanimously. Amy Burnett, questioned council regarding the practice of appointing someone to the position, when the closing date for the examination is on the 22nd of this month. She feels this is a violation of Civil Ser- vice. She stated Mr. Hamilton has never served a formal apprenticeship. That she is a qualified applica nt ~ for the job and not too long ago was denied an application. She feels the job description discriminates Tape according to BMC. 245 Side 2 Mr. George Allen, talked about specific areas of inspection required by #0010 the city and some of the problems involved. He stated this amendment in the proposed ordinance eliminates the need for a "journeyman" inspector. He discussed apprenticeship service time and stated again that Wayne Hamilton had not served an apprenticeship and would be con- sidered a technician. Commissioner Swanson wants to work with the County in developing a share-type inspector as well as developing other areas of cross-training.
