(MINUTES - CITY COUNCIL MEETING, OCTOBER 27, 1971, Cont.)
Clerk read minutes of October 20, 1971, and explained that the minutes were very lengthy
due to his efforts in trying to get the majority of the hearings placed in the record, in-
asmuch as the tape recorder is not entirely satisfactory, and the attorneys have asked for
information when a hearing has gone to the Superior Court, at which time the tape either is
too difficult to decipher or the stenographic notes are not complete. Mr. Walgren stated
he had seen the minutes and stated this was a very satisfactory method of having the re-
cord as complete as possible at the time of preparing the minutes. Minutes were approved
as amended.

Mayor Jarstad and Commissioner Clark complimented them for taking advantage of the school.
~r. Eddie Adams, referring to the Health Department recommendation of denial of the pro-
posed waterfront restaurant and motel, stated that it might be well to be aware of the fac~
that there is going to be some new regulations concerning boating, wherein the boat owners
will be required to have holding tanks and empty them into a sewage system ashore; that he
suggested some consideration might be given to making a sewer connection available. Mayor
Jarstad commented he is sure the regulation will come in the future from the State to make
connection available. Commissioner Schoneman stated the City has a sewer connection for
trailers, mobile homes, etc., at the Charleston treatment plant, and that some type of
connection will be planned into the system in connection with the Washington Narrows sewer
facility; there would be some small cost to the boaters in making the connection and pro-
viding the pumping and other related facilities.

tional sign painting in the parking garage. Memo stated these signs are necessary for

The confusion occurred in the change of the architect's original booth in the plans as
developed by Jacobson and Co. The booth had to be changed back in order to make possible

the City would be a reasonable solution to the question. Motion carried unanimously.

ressed to the Mayor, which stated that at its regularly scheduled meeting on October 21,
1971, the Kitsap County Boundary Review Board waived Jurisdiction in the proposed Sherida~
Heights and Cedar Grove annexations. This simply means that if no ot~er governmental unit
invokes Jurisdiction within sixty days from the filing date of September 23, 1971, the
proposed annexation may be deemed approved. A brief discussion followed as to the proper
procedure and it was finally determined that the ordinance could be prepared, ready for
reading upon the expiration of the sixty day waiting period, from September 23, 1971,
providing no other governmental unit invokes Jurisdiction. Clerk stated he would check
with the Boundary Review Board secretary at the end of the sixty-day period to get the

Conifer Park and Scenic View/Liberty Heights, to Kitsap County Sewer District #5. From
the maps attached, the clerk stated one area was near Annapolis, and one was back of
Parkwood. Commissioner Schoneman commented that he could see no reason for interest in
either of these by the city, and Commissioner Clark agreed.
Motion by Mayor Jarstad and Commissioner Clark that the City Clerk write a letter to the

LETTER - STOP SIGNS
Clerk read letter dated October 20, 1971, to the City Clerk, from Mrs. John G. Spaulding, cai-
ling attention to a dangerous intersection at Oak and llefner Streets, also, between llth St.
and tbe bridge of Warren Avenue before the hours of 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Mrs. Spaulding
requested stop signs for Oak and Itefner. Mayor Jarstad commented that he lives on the corner
of Itefner and ()ak, and he agreed that this was a bad intersection, due in some measure to Oak
being a narrow street, meeting tlefner, which is a wide street, and cars went down the broad
street at 30 to 35 milos per hour. It seemed to the b{ayor that llefner would have the right-of-
way and this is something for study. ~he Mayor stated tlmt he would like to have a traffic
study.
Motion by Comissioners Clark and Schoneman tlmt the letter be referred to the traffic division
~udy and report.
Co,~nissioner Schoneman stated that his department had made a study of every intersection in the
City of Bremerton and this includes where signs were placed and where they were not, and copies
of the st,dy have been given to the Police Department and they have reviewed the report and,
tberefore, there is no intersection in the City of Bremerton that is not available to anyone
just for review. ~>tion carried unanimously.

Clerk presented Project Agreement signed by Stanley E. Francis, Administrator of the Interagency
Committee for Outdoor Recreation, dated October 15, 1971, and approved as to form by the Assis-
tant Attorney General. The agreement needs to be approved as to form by the City Attorney and
requires the signature of tile Mayor.
~lotion by Commissioner Clark and Mayor Jarstad that the contract be approved and signed by the
ay~and City Clerk on behalf of the City, subject to review by the City Attorney.
lliscussion: Commissioner Clark stated this is the end of the line of a long campaign to acquire
the Kitsap Lake property; on it the City will receive 75% funding from a combination of Federal
and State grants, lhis will enable the City to buy some very desirable land as park area, for
25¢ on the dollar, or about $55,000 of City money, for property valued at $14S,000. This will
make very desirable lake property and it has been shown as park land on the comprehensive plan.
blayor Jarstad remarked that this is anti-climatic and that years and years of negotiation have
gone into the project, and now have come to the point where the contract can be negotiated. Ilo
stated he was very pleased that the state did float a bond issue some three years ago, which
provided money for assisting municipalities to buy land for the public to be t~sed for recrea-
tion; that the general public had no access on Kitsap Lake except the boat launch for fishing,
and this will ensure an access at the south end of the lake which will be maintained by the
City of Bremerton. Motion carried unanimously.

Mr. Vadman stated the computation is correct and llalsey Stuart is the iow bidder, and, recom-
mended that they be awarded the bid, and also authoeize the return of the bid deposit checks
to the bidders. Mr. Vadman noted that the bond sale came at a beautiful time and these rates
are back to the level of February 1969. Also, that this was unusual in that there were six
bids on an issue of this size.
Motion by Commissioners Clark and Schoneman to concur with the recommendation of Mr. Vadman
an-~ard the bid bond sale to Ilalsey Stuart Inc., and return the bid deposits to the unsucces-
sful bidders.
l)iscussiom: Conmissioner Clark stated that there was no way of identifying whether one of the

and offered condolences to the unsuccessful bidders. Motion carried unanimously. Ail checks
were returned to the unsuccessful bidders by the City Clerk.

AGREI.~F2q' #2948 - NAVY YARD DISTRIC. F SEWERS
Clerk read memo dated October 26, 1971, from City Engineer to City Council, which stated that
on October 20, the City Council approved of State llighway Agreement #2948, subject to four
small changes which the Sewer District requested and to which the State agreed, and subsequently
the Sewer District bas requested a chaJlge on page 9, to which the Highway Department has agreed.
This latter change deletes the section title on page 9 and the first two paragraphs of enclosed
"A", and substitutes the section title and the first three lines down to and including the
word "Agreement" on enclosed "B." The memo stated that the Engineer had requested the City
Attorney to review this request. That office has no legal objections. The City Engineer then
recon~nended approval of the change. Clerk then read "III - Legal Relations of the Party,"
which is approved as to form by the Assistant Attorney General and by the City Attorney.
blayor Jarstad asked for discussion on the Agreement and the changes and Mr. Parker dis-
cussed tile changes again as he had at last weeks meting, stating that the District owns the
l~hiskey Gulch Line now, and its relocated sections would belong to the Sewer District; that
the Sewer District didn't like the wording "combined," because they interpreted it to mean
"Combined ownership," which it does not mean, but it does mean "co~ined sewer, sanitary and
storm sewer." Mr. Parker stated that the hyphenated heading, Sewer-City of Bremerton, was
(MINUTES- CITY COUNCIL MEETING, OCTOBER 27, 1971, Cont.)
not acceptable to the District because they felt the City had no interest; but the State had
put in the title, and there was no reason other than not being properly aware of the ownership.
Mr. Parker further stated that what the ~layor is particularly pointing to is joint use of the
lines, and this is still in discussion between the City and the District, because we have to
come to an agreement on maintenance, which will be additional to this agreement, lie stated that
wbat is right for one is right for another as far as use charges are, concerned; and if the Dis-
trict charges the City, then the City should charge the District. The District has stated they
are not using the facilities, but ~r. Parker informed them they were using the sewer treatment
plants and they are expecting the City to approach them on an increase in fees for using the
treatment plant. ~nis use agreement has no relationship to the agreement at hand, and it would
be difficult to get them together. Co~nissioner Schoneman pointed out that this was covered
in last week's meeting. Mayor Jarstad spoke again about the necessity of updating the "use
charge" for the treatment plant. Mayor Jarstad said the question that he has here is that
tile City is agreeable to the continued maintenance of facilities that the State is putting into
the Sewer District, and said he wondered if we could tell them that we are not going to handle
their sewage treatment. The Mayor hoped that the District would be reasonable and pay their
share of the use o£ the treatment plant. Co~nissioner Schoneman stated that this agreement
is necessary to be entered into so that the State can get on with the sewer relocation, and
then have meetings on the sewer use charges. Motion carried unanimously.
F~L~ORrFS
~ Comissioner Clark and Schoneman to pay all bills that are approved by the majority
off the Comission. Carried u~animeusly.
Comissioner Clark:
Gave a progress report on the EEA Employment Program as it pertains to the City, and the type
of employees that are being hired, and stated that a second grant will give the City twelve
additional employees, and the total of the two programs will be thirty-nine persons. Comis-
sioner Clark stated that the City has an obligation to keep at least 50% o£ these people in
City Employment, and believed the normal attrition will take care of most o£ the en~)loyees, and
it's possible that the program may be extended for another year, and he hoped that these new
employees will develop into the capable type of City employees needed, lle said further, that
he was pleased with the fact that where we didn't have funds to hire additional personnel, tile
EI~A Program will help us attain thirty-nine people, and will also take these people of£ the
tmemployment rolls, and that Kitsap County and other public employers are receiving employees
also.
Comissioner Clark gave another discussion of the sales tax, and gave a report of the work of
the Legislative Municipal Interim Co~nittee, which he attended in Walla Walla. lle also spoke
of a visit most of the committee made to Walla Walla State Prison. tle gave some of his views
and feelings as to prison conditions.
Commissioner Schoneman:
Pacific Avenue: Stated that 1/2 block of concrete will be poured between Sth and 6th on the

and the contractor's insurance companies.
Naval Avenue : Plans are ready for bid call for improvement between 1st and 6th.
Washington Narrows: Bid call will be ready for January for both sides of the narrows, l~ashing-
ton Avenue, and Shore Drive.
Ice-Snow Conditions:
His department is just about ready for these conditions. [lave stockpiled sand and salt. The

traffic markers and buttons.
K-Werner- Interchange
Plans for first stage construction are in his office for approval; this is an area in the County
and they intend to call for bids on the first phase toward the end of this year.
Road - GOld Mountain
The County will be working on a new road and the City will be moving its fence thirty feet.
This new road will stop any crossing of the watershed going to Gold Mountain, and the gates
will be permanently closed except for watershed personnel. Construction of a new road into
the watershed gives another route to the north end; comes in for Skirving's property.
Mayor Jarstad discussed the new road and is glad it's opening so that Gold Mountain will be
opened so people can visit; that Gold Mountain is the most beautiful scenic point in the Coun-
ty and that he has always hoped a small park could be developed so that people could enjoy this
view and take pictures.
Surplus Propert}, - Proposed for Disposal
C~mmissioner Schoneman stated there was a small triangular-shaped piece of property on Division
Street, adjacent to private ownership and near a square dance hall. The private owner would
like to buy this piece of property from the City. It's composed of .37 acres and the City has
no need for this land. tie needs this for a drainfield area. Commissioner Schonen~an read from
a memo and stated that the property has had a lot of things duped on it and it needs to be
cleaned ~; that he recon*aends a sale price of $225, which is at the rate of $008 per acre.
(MIN[ffES - CIIY COUNCIL ~]iETING, OCTOBER 27, 1971, Cont.)
Mayor .larstad stated he would like to go out and look at it, and Commissioner Clark stated that
there was a difficulty in selling property in this way. Commissioner-Schoneman said ttmt he
felt no one would buy tMs piece of land or be interested in it, and Commissioner Clark stated
that the City rmst sell by a call for bids. Commissioner Schoneman called attention to the
Telephone Company property that was sold to them because there was no one else to sell it to.
Commissioner (;lark stated that he agreed in the principle, but wondered about the method. Gary
Sexton said he didn't know Mint the answer was on this point but Mr. Walgren has been working
on the last sale the City made, and that this question should be referred to his office. Mayor
Jarstad said he wondered about a h~ffer area needed because of noise from the square dance
building, and that the City might receive criticism from the noise as it is. The square dance
hall is going to open officially on Saturday.
Mayor Jarstad postponed making his reports.
