Their intent is to have Leyde honor legitimate 'claims and to protect their clients from abusive billing practices. He stated that the ad placed in the Bremerton Sun by Leyde was contrary to the agreement reached by Ms~ Connor, Leyde's attorney, and his office. Mayor Jarstad stated' that he had met with John Tracy and looked · at resolving the question of the ads. Mr. McCluskey stated Mr. Leyde had run an ad and asked Mr. Tracy for his comments. Mr. Tracy felt the ad was still deficient in several areas. The intent was to have someone impartial review the claims. Discussion followed regarding the ad prepared by Mr. Tracy and Mr. McCluskey. It was agreed to run the ad twice. Mr. Stewart stated that he did not think they would get much response because the bills are not that large. The answer in this area is stricter enforcement when people do not do their job. He felt this should be handled by Council and not by John Tracy and Ms. Condors. Commissioner Stewart quoted the Nov. 25th minutes where t]me Mayor wanted claims satisfied before we went back to rotation. Commissioner Swanson stated that he fel~ it~ould be appropriate to route complaints from this ad to the City Clerk and City Auditor. He stated he objected to allegations that he or anyone else is unethical when he has not had one word of ir~ut.' He would like to have the City Clerk handle it from here omout. Mr. Tracy stated that routing complaints through the City Clerk would not be a problem. He had discussed an escrow account with Ms. Connors and could not reach agreements. 9:30 PUBLIC RECOGNITION Harry Penor wanted to know what was going te be done. The Mayor stated the agreed upon ad would be put in t~epaper. Mr. Penor stated he was unhappy with Bremerton Ambula~e being put on the rotation list. He felt the Commissioners d]~ not-act in good faith per all previous Council Meetings. Ma~r Jarstad discussed the December Council Meeting when the rotatien was discussed thoroughly and stated that it should have be~n no surprise that Leyde would be put back on rotation in 35 da~s. "In this room, with you in this room, we decided to leave ~mpic on for the remaining five days then go back to normal ~{k~tion with Olympic for 30 days. This decision was made one mom~}and five days before the Chief sent that normal memo that~s out every 30 days." Mr. Penor stated he does not dispute that, ~he felt City Ordinance was violted. He stated that he wants to see~le City put some power in the new ordinance and enforce it. TAPE 207 John Ross discussed payments for the crack andsurface sealing of (B) 2467 the garages. He stated that it was to be paid from parking system revenue but that the underground garage does ~ generate parking revenue and should be General Fund. Motion by Commissioners Stewart and Swanson to pay for the sealing of the undergound garage from General Fund and the parking garage from Parking System Revenue, carried unanimouS.

Motion by Commissioners Stewart and Swanson to oover the deficit from the General Fund, carried unanimously. Sgt. Dennis Plumb o~ the Police Department pr~nted a letter and petition protesting Commissioner Stewart's ~t~ement in the Bremerton Sun regarding "somebody being on the take". ~esaid the statement TAPE 207 indicates irresponsibility on the part Qf Comri~sioner Stewart and (A) 0001 calls for a public apology to the Mayor and Fi~ Chief and everyone who works in public safety. "A comment made lk~ this so flippantly is without regard to the thought and feeling ~fpeop[e in public safety.""It is fair to ask for a public apolo~'or short of that" he suggested"you prove your allegations." Cormi~sioner Stewart stated CITY COMMISSIONERS' MEETING MINUTES February 3, 1981 Page Five PUBLIC RECOGNITION contd that when you write a letter on Monday to take affect 8:00 on Tuesday, and we have Council at 9:00 on Tuesday, and the letter is not distributed till 2:00 in the afternoon, it does not leave a good feeling. Commissioner Stewart stated you hear these comments out in the field and he does not think it is true, but when you do things like that it does not bring confidence to the City Council. I think I set the record straight. I don't think anything was wrong, I think it was a simple mistake. Mayor ~arstad complimented the men in public safety for their action. We have striven for a level of excellence so we do not have the bad feeling regarding departments that other cities have. It is like waving a red flag in the public safety division, when anyone in Council says someone is on the take, especially at the Commissioners' level. Commissioner Stewart stated he did not say that, he said it looks like it. Fire Chief Meigs stated that he is not sure Sgt. Plumb got an answer to his question, either a public apology or substantiating it, and it appears he is not going to get an answer. Commissioner Stewart asked how can you get a public apology for telling what happened, it does make people look that way. I'm saying I don'~ think its true. He Hiscussed the issuance of the rotation letter on Monday, and statedhe's the one that needs an apology, that's no way to treat the City Council. Mr. Meigs Stated he is sorry Commissioner Stewart did not voice the same concern when the other ambulance company was put on the ambulance rotation in the same manner. "The discussion here led everyone to believe the rotation would continue after the 35 days. You are very inconsistent. When you don't object when Olympic and HP T wing are put on rotation, but you do object to this. They are done in the same manner, at the same time, by .the same people." Commissioner Stewart quoted the minutes directing justification of claims being taken care of before Council, before going back to rotation. Mr. Meigs stated that Mr. Stewart took accusations to the newspaper and did not call him. Commissioner Stewart s~ated he did not, they called him. Mr. Meige stated ~that to this date Commissioner Stewart has not called him. He stated he does not conduct his business or the city's business in the newspaper. He stated that Commissioner Swanson and he listened to the tape of December 23rd meeting. It did say normal rotation would be established and the Fire Chief would report back to Council. We did the normal thing in the normal manner. If2.that did not meet with your intent, I made a mistake. I feel it did meet with Council's intent and I feel strongly about that. Commissioner Stewart quoted the motion of the November 23rd meeting by Mayor Jarstad to utilize Olympic for 30 days until reports can be received back from the attorneys working with Leyde. Commissioner Stewart stated in that motion it may take longer than 30 days to review this. Commissioner Swanson stated he made a motion on December 23 that we not go back to rotation until we had a report back that Evergreen had resolved that things were correct. That motion was not seconded. The final decision was that we would go back to rotation and that Chief Meigs would come back to Council. Motion by Commissioner Swanson that we return our business to Olympic Ambulance until we have a report back that this is being resolved or within 60 days whichever may come first. "If we do not get some input from Evergreen, I do no~ want to hear from them in 61 days that I was unethical" Seconded by Commissioner Stewart. CITY COMMISSIONERS' MEETING MINUTES February 3, 1981 Page Six PUBLIC RECOGNITION contd F~r. McCluskey stated we have Leyde back on rotation and we are taking action. Mr. Leyde has not done what we thought he would do and we have given him till March 20th to produce complaints. How long it will take after that to review I do not know. We might as well say Leyde is out of business until such time as we. decide to put him back in, if that is the case. My feeling is the City should stay out of this complaint process. Leyde has not cooperated, and Evergreen has not done anything more with this either. Commissioner Stewart stated the simpler way is to put this money in escrow. Mr. McCluskey stated he would like to see this put on Leydes back to have this money put up in trust, but with this complaint process, we do not get a steady guideline. Mayor Jarstad stated he thinks it is in error of Council without ordinance, to take people out of business.. Mr. Tracy stated he felt that motion was not necessary. He felt that the escrow account in conjunction with the ad would be more beneficial. Discussion followed regarding people being able to choose which ambulance they want to use. Commissioner Swanson withdraw his motion. Commissioner Stewart withdraw the second. Motion by Commissioner Stewart that we ask Mr. Leyde to set up a 5~B~escrow account; rotation program will continue; Fire Dept. to notify people that there are two companies available and ask them which one they want. Commissioner .Swanson asked for two · motions. Motion by Commissioner Stewart that the Fire Dept. notify 'someone, if there is someone that can be notified, that there are two companies, and let the customer make the choice. Seconded by~ Commissioner Swanson, with the note that sometimes people are confused or dO not know, so there will be continuing rotation 'or those people. Mayor Jarstad questioned "hit or miss" having each · company geared up 24 hours for immediate response. He wanted the Fire Chief to talk to the companies. Ralph Simms, employee of an ambulance company in the City, stated that in cases of critical care, there may not be enough time to sit down and discuss which ambulance they would like to have. Commissioner Stewart stated if there is a problem like that, the Fire Dept. could transport. Mayor Jarstad expressed concern about individuals promoting different companies. Mr. Penor stated it is his opinion that the paramedics currently ask which company a patient wants. He also expressed his interest in having the Chief write up the SOP for private axnbulances. Questioned called and carried unanimously. Motion by Commissioners Stewart and Swanson to contact Leyde and ['~'ve him set up a $500 escrow account to cover these bills and that Leyde will get the interest from the account and should be held untill March 20th. Mayor Jarstad added that the City Clerk should contact Mr. Leyde to have this set up by Friday or Monday at the latest. Commissioner Swanson added that he will come off of rotation if money is not put up by that time, carried unanimously. Mr. Penor discussed the elimination of the words "on-duty" from the new ambulance ordinance. The Commissioners felt that this was part of the amended ordinance and was published in the paper correctly. They asked that he check with the City Clerk to see the original ordinance. Mayor Jarstad left the meeting at this time because of an emergency at Westpark. FAPE 207 LETTER FROM YMCA (A) 1278 Mr. Godfrey expressed his need for revenue sharing money from the City for the handicapp·swinnhin~program. Commissioner Stewart stated that because of the financial crisis for the City, there are no funds for this project. He stated that we cannot commit money to a new program when our budget is so tight.
