GARBAGE PICK-UP
Discussion was held regarding garbage pick-up in the 1600 block of 4th St. and Jim
Halfmann stated he had done a survey and found that the alley has a 29% grade at
the.steepest point. He stated that coming into the alley, there is a 14% grade;
that it would be impossible to widen the alley because of the houses on the R/W
line. He stated further that Brem-Air has a real problem high-centering; that the
street sweeper also has problems high-centering in that area.
Robert Mize, 1227 5th St., asked how quickly they would have to move their garbage
to the street. He stated he would like to have a year to convert because they
have been using the alley in this way for 30 or 40 years. He stated grem-Air did
not have any problems until they changed their trucks from front-loading to rear-
loading and went from two-man trucks to one-man trucks.
Commissioner Swanson stated that Brem-Air is willing to work out some alternatives
with the people living in this area. Commissioner Stewart stated that they cannot
wait for a year to resolve this problem, because it is hazardous. Conmfissioner
Swanson suggested having further discussions with Brem-Air and the neighbors and
stated he would like to have a month to investigate it further. He stated he would
see that Mr. Mize is notified of any meetings. Commissioner Stewart asked that
Commissioner Swarmon contact Mr. Lindgren a~ Brem-Air.

DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPF, ENI' REPORT
Mayor Jars tad discussed the history of the City's involvement in assisting in tiie
downtown redevelopmerit and working with the do',,mCown property owners and businesses.
He stated the desire of the City to work cooperaCively with the downtown businessmen
has resulted in many improvements of the downtown core area. FIe discussed the
development of the waterfront and the new ferry terminal and stated he recently
received a letter froin the Bremerton Port Commission which re-established their
commitjnent to use their financial and statutory authority for the development of
the downtown waterfront. He introduced Gordon Bell, consultant for the redevelop-
merit of downtown.
Mr. Bell stated that redevelopmerit cannot happen unless someone builds something;
that more plans are not needed at this time. He stated that one o'f the resources
they were working with was the fact that the State had made a commitment for a new
ferry terminal which would continue to make tbe Central Business District a focal
point for transportation. He stated that was a real resource that could be utilized
not only from securing development on the waterfront but also development of tile
retail core. He stated further he has represented the City to secure a consolida-
tion of property sufficienb to develop and he has also represented both the propert:/
owners and the City in approachihg davelepers to establish their support and securin:!
their commitment and investment in a downtown project. He stated the reason the
downtown project was idel~tified is that in all the analyses, it was clear that retail
was the main contributor in the do',.,'ntown business core; that if retail were to be
lost to other competitive centers outside tile City, it is unlikely that alternative
uses would be found to replace tile significant amount of business activity done by
retail. Mr. Bell stated the development of the waterfront is important and tilere
has been a long-standing desire to see it developed. He stated the plans that have
been developed by the State for the ferry terminal call for a fine facility that
would be an image-making gateway for the City. He discussed funding and stated tilat
there a;-e ,~u bu
....... fficicnt funds for this project; that funding could be derived tbrou9h
potential federal fundiug sources, but the City has to have matching funds for those
grants. He stated that unless private sector commitments were secure, the ferry
tern/inal would either be delayed or significantly reduced in size, quality and
character.
Mr. Bell stated that retail development depends upon consolidation of property of
sufficient size and the only way that consolidation could occur is if the City
was a strong development partner with the private sector. He stated the City will
have to play a major part if development in the downtown core is to take place.
He stated he has discussed redevelopmerit with several developers with the capabilities
to bring about redevelopmont. He then discussed development of the waterfront and
stated he has approached a developer who has indicated a strong willingness to
pursue and plan for development of the waterfront on a joint venture with the properly
Owner.
Mr. Bell stated he thinks the key to development in the downtown area is a continued
but more visible posture on the part of the City; that there will be a major decline
in the downtown area if it is not redeve]oped. He recommended that the City (1)
reactivate the Urban Renewal process it began in 1977; (2) work with property owners
to complete the organization needed to achieve assembly of property needed for
development; (3) secure developer proposals as the basis for an Urban Renewal Plan;
(4) complete a Preliminary Urban Renewal Plan(s) to be submitted to the Planning
Commission; (5) Prepare an EIS for the proposed Urban Renewal Plan; (6) bold public
bearings for the proposal Urban Renewal Plan; (7) adopt an Urban Renewal Plan for
the CBD; and (8) participate in project development. He stated the Urban Renewal
process can be reactivated by reconfirming the Central Business District Blight
Designation, re-establishing the City Council as the Urban Renewal Agency and
appointing a staff and establish a budget for the Urban Renewal Agency for the next
12 months.
Comnlissioner Stewart asked how much this would cost and Mr. Bell replied that a
budget would have to be established.

Howard Hager stated he is representing the invest(irs who secured the Sears propei'ty
and they are very interested in downtown redevelopment. He stated they are intei~ested
in proceeding with wh3tever type of development might be feasible. Commissioner
Stewart asked if Sears had made any commitment whether they will stay in the do',.,,n--
town area and Mr. Hager replied they had received no commitment.
Lyle Williams, Senior Vice-President of Great Northwest, stated they have worked
actively attempting to find some way to redevelop downtown and they look forward
to continuing that work.
Joe Mentor stated that unless this can be done by local property owners, he does
not think downtown will be redeveloped; that they are not going to turn their
property over to out-of-town developers. He stated there isn't enough money to
tear Bremerton down and rebuild it; the kind of money that used to be available is
no longer available. He stated be thinks a downtown mall is the answer and Sears
has to be encouraged to stay downtown. He stated further that he has a plan that
he thinks is reasonable and can be done with an LID. He stated that money is
available for this type of financing. He stated the City will have to have con-
detonation powers so merchants can be relocated if necessary~ that remodeling and
rebuilding of each store should be 'Financed by individual proper~'y ov;ners or
individual tenants. He stated that if a mall is built downtown, it will have to
have the same amenities as the Tacon~a Mall and he hopes that Mr. Bell can contit:ud
to work and consolidate these plans. Mr. ~dentor stated be would like to see the
City Conncil appoint themselves an Urban Renewal Agency; that if tbe dov:r~town at'ca
is declared an Urban Renewal Area. the property could be put up for sale and that
person could be compensated at the fair market value; that once this coFnmi tment is
made, everyone will sign an LID for development of a downtown mall.
Mr. Bell stated that what 1,1r. Mentor has presented is a specific example of what
they are planning to do and hc 'Nooks forv:ard to working with llir. ~/ientor and o-cber
property owners. He presented a proposed resolution regarding downtown redevelop-
ment.
Mayor Jarstad stated the Council will look at the proposed resolution and hopefulIv
action can be taken either next week or the week following. He stated be feels
this resolution is a continuing commitment that the Council has held in the past
and positive action is imperative. He thanked Mr. Bell for his report and stated
the City will continue to be a willing partner with the property owners for down-
town redevelopment.
Meeting recessed from 10:25 A.M. until 10:50 A,M.
