He stated he felt the appropriate ceiling ~ould be the sum of $33,000.00 per yr. because of the cost of living increase.

He stated he sees nothing wrong with having more service available for the conTnunity. Motion by Commissioner Stewart to postpone acting on the ambulance contract until all the facts are in. Motion died for lack of second. Commissioner Stewart stated the City will undoubtedly have another ambulance company next week and the City should not enter into an exclusive contractor with only one operator now. Mayor Jarstad reiterated that the City has a contract with Mr. Leyde at the present time; that this contract is only an amendment to the old one. He stated this amended contract is a great improvement over the existing one; that no matter what happens in the future, there is a 90-day escape clause which can be exercised. John Tracy, Evergreen Legal Services, discussed the alleged abuse by Leyde and asked what had to be done to get the City to cancel its contract with Mr. Leyde. He stated that last week it was stated that the City is stuck with Leyde because there was no other alternative; that this week a proposal for another ambulance company has been presented. He stated that at the very least an investigati<}n should be made to see if Olympic Ambulance is a valid alternative. He urged the Council to cancel th8 contract with Mr. Leyde. Commissioner Swanson explained that the contract has.a gO-day escape clause. explained that all complaints were investigated by the Police Dept. and turned over to the prosecutor; that it is a slow process, He stated the immediate issue is the contract, not the charges filed against Mr. Leyde. John Livingston, 2127 12th St., questioned which ambulance ordinances are in effect and Mr. McCluskey explained that 3012 has been repealed and 3535 is in effect.

ClauSetCe Williams~ 1410 12th St., stated she is an employee of the State and she has d~alt with many people who have been abused by the present ambulance company. She questioned why the City did not inspect the vehicles and personnel. Mayor JarsCad explained that with the amended contract, the City will inspect equipment and personnel. Ms. Williams stated she does not understand how a company like this can be allowed to remain; that she has clients calling about the treatment they receive from Leyde. She stated she supports Evergreen Legal Service trying to get something done. Commissioner Swanson again stated that these complaints have been investigated and turned over to the prosecutor. Commissioner Stewart stated that all the City will do by approving the amendment to the contract is control the personnel and ~quipment for OTle company. He stated an emergency ordinance should be passed to control both companies. Commissionar Swanson stated the proposal was to control only that equipment which the City called; that he does not think it is appropriate to monitor all the equipment in the City. He stated that the State inspects all equipment and the only thing the City can control is that equipment which the City calls. Commissioner Stewart stated that the City should make sure that the equipment and personnel meet the standards set by the City. Thomas Camden stated he is one of the victims of over-charging done by Mr. Leyde. He stated he was charged for materials that the paramedics used.

He stated the information has been turned over tile prosecutor and they are waiting for due process of law. -3- CITY CO~,~MISSIONERS' MINUTES April 29, Page four Commissioner Swanson stated that Conmissioner Stewart has said the Council has not taken any action; that any action the City takes should be aimed at takihg care of the City's responsibility for emergency services.

Motion by Commissioner Swanson that the Council put the emergency transport measure on the ballot coupled with the tax levy which was rejected not long ago as a joint proposal that if people are willing to pa3f for this, the City will do their own emergency transport and let the State handle the ambulance inspections. Commissioner Swanson stated the City can handle emergency transport if funding and financing is available. Commissioner Stewart stated he would support that idea when he sees it in writing. Motion died for lack of second. Commissioner Stewart stated he thinks the City should inspect all ambulances, just as it does all tow trucks. Commissioner Swanson stated the City only inspects those tow trdcks that are called out by the City. Commissioner Stewart stated he would support an issue on the ballot so the Fire Dept. can provide emergency transport; that he does not think it will hurt private enterprise. Mayor Jarstad stated he does not think $100,000.00 will supply the manpo~;er and equipnlent necessary to go into the ambulance business. He stated the Fire Department's budget is strained to the limit now. Dale Magnuson stated the City Council is elected by the voice of the people with that trust that you v~ill make those decisions ~hat are in the best interests of the people. He stated it would be tragic if the people had to get an initiative up to tell the Council how th~y F~I. Mayor Jarstad discussed the taxicab monopoly and towing service. He stated there has always been more than one towing company in the City and the taxicab service is a true monopoly since Mr. Maesner bought out Mr. Leyde. Mr. Magnuson stated that he would hope the citize:~s would have a chance to choose an ambulance con/pany. He stated any contract should be considered in light of what the people really want; that City Council should 'look at transport very seriously.

He requested that the Council consider stopping the subsidy to Mr. Leyde and provide adequate transport by the Fire Dept. Harry Penor stated he bel iew..s the main concern today should be the postpe~e~:!en;. of the contract with Mr. Leyde. I!e stated Bremerton has not had competii:i~n and competition is needed. He si:ated that Olympic Ambulance should be given the opportunity to prove tt'.emseives before action is taken on the amendment to tile existing contract with Mr. Leyde. Meeting recessed from 10:40 A.M. until 10:50 A.M. Irene Burgougle stated she works for the State and Mr. teyde's units have been inspected by the State. She stated they have been inspected more frequently than usual and the State will cooperate and inspect at any time. She explained the inspection process and stated the personnel listings must show that employees are certified. Mayor Jarstad stated the basic thing for the Council to make a decision on today is tire amendment to the existing contract with Leyde.

Commissioner Stewart stated it is good to have a ceiling en the amount the City will pay. He stated there are some good things about this contract, but he is still concerned about charging just one base fee for everyone. Mr. Penor asked if this amendment will guarantee Mr. Leyde a $3,000.00 raise and Mayor Jarstad explained that Mr. Leyde will have to absorb any no-pay calls after reaching the $33,000.00 limit. Mr. Penor asked if this contract will eliminate the possibilit~ of another cempany coming in and taking over some of tile emergency transport. Commissioner Swanson replied that approval of the contract does not eliminate future or continuing consideration for changes.

He stated that some of the factors which n~ust be con- sidered are the types of users, the types of functions involved and the area fa~.ctors, He discussed in detail the overlap of difFerenL uses and stated one parking stall '~or each motel unit is much higher than the City should require. He stated an economic roadblock is being created that will slow development considerably.

Commissioner Stewart stated the Planning Dept. and Planning Commission has done a good job on this, but he does not want to kill the incentive for development.
