BID WAIVER - SALT
Clerk stated an opportunity was presented at about the time the snow emergency period began, to
purchase on a one-sale offer, twenty-four tons of salt, delivered and unloaded at the City sand
site, for a price of $.014 per lb. This offer of Van Waters and Regers was for the salt avail-
able for i~nediate delivery. In comparison with former purchases, this is a bottom price inas-
much as the city has paid at previous times $.014 per lb. delivered in Tacoma, and the City had
to pay to transport it to Bremerton. Clerk recommended that in view of the circumstances, a
bid call be waived and the purchase be approved. Total of the purchase is $602,50, plus sales
tax.
Motion by Commissioner Schoneman and Mayor Jarstad to approve as an emergency purchase, carried
unanimously.
PURCHASE - WATER ~rERS
Clerk stated the P/ater Distribution department needed forty-eight S/8 X 5/4" Calmet meters imme-
diately and stated that the City had a contract for 150 water meters from H.D. Fowler Company
in September, for $50 each. Clerk suggested making a change order to the contract # 1211, be-
cause Fowler Company has agreed to furnish forty-eight meters for the same price, which is $50
each, and inasmuch as Fowler was the low bidder last September, this is a good offer. The total
of the purchase is $1,440.00.
Motion by Commissioners Schoneman and Clark to authorize the purchase of the forty-eight meters,
~ order, contract # 1211.
Under discussion: Comaissioner Schonemam spoke of the old meters which must be replaced, and
stated the City is looking at the complete replacement of approximately 9,000 meters, to be re-
placed over a period of approximately five years; and that on some meters parts are no longer
available, and so they a.~e junk; that it is to the best interests of the property owners and
the City to get the new type of meters; that the City is looking at $100,000 in new meters over
the five year period. Motion carried unanimously.
P/ATER METERS - BID CALL:
Clerk read memo dated December 16, 1971, from Water Superintendant Humble, to Commissioner Schon-
eman, which stated the Water Department has completely exhausted their supply of 5/8" by 3/4"
water meters and recon~nded bid call for 800 meters, to be paid from the 1972 budget; also,
asked for authorization to call for bids for 1" by 1 1/2", and 2" meters, to establish unit
price for ordering during 1972.
Motion by Commissioners Clark and Schoneman to approve the call for bids. Mayor Jarstad asked
Th'~e motion include, if remaining in the budget for 1972. This amendment was agreed upon
by Commissioners Clark and Schoneman, carried unanimously.
CIL~NGE ORDER: IVY GREFN CLUSTERY:
Clerk read letter dated December 14, 1971, to Commissioner Clark from Architect Branch, which
letter had an attached change order #1, in the total amoont of $1,423.80 including sales tax.
The letter explained the necessity for the change order, in that additional areas of the house
foundation were found to be rotten and have to be replaced; and that the south porch end of the
house was also col~letely rotted out; further, that the caretaker had requested to make the re-
placement of the porch area 4 ft. longer than the original, to give more liveable space. The
breakdown of the figures was $906 for the extra foundation replacement and $450 for the extra
4 ft. on the south end of the house.
Motion by Commissioner Clark and Mayor Jarstad to approve change order #1.
Uh-de-~discussion: Commissioner Clark explained about the problems with the house because of its
being over twenty years in that location, and this project is doing a great deal toward putting
the home in shape for a good many years to come. tL mentioned that the house was very small
and an extra four feet would make it more liveable, and that even with the change order the total
contract is under the architect's original estimate, and substantially under amount appropriated
in budget for this project. Carried unanimously.
(MINUTES - CITY CO[~CIL ~ETING = DECt~ER 16, 1971, Cont.)
PETITIONS:
1. Clerk presented petition for construction of sanitary sewers on the west side of the Port
Washington Narrows, from P.S.N.S. to the north end of Washington Avenue, and between Ilighland
Avenue snd the Port Washington Narrows, from llth St. to the water, and stated the petition is
signed by Edward Bremer and a nt~ber of other property owners.
~otion by Co.missioners Clark and Schoneman to accept the petition and request the engineers
report on the sufficiency of signatures, carried unanimously.
Clerk then read letter dated December 16, 1971, to the Council, from City Engineer Parker, which
stated the petition had been checked by his office, and gave the following tabulation of the sig-
natures on the pe~}tion:
Total area 632,830 square feet
Valid signatures 407,480 square feet
or 64.34%
Total front footage 3,810 feet
Valid signatures , 2,340 feet
or 61.42% V
Motion by Commissioners Clark and Schoneman to forwar~ the petition for earliest activation in
t~q~rmation of the L.I.D.
Under discussion: Coranissioner Schoneman stated this p~oject has been assisted in coming to com-
pletion through the effor~cs of the City Council, Mm. Weigel of the County Health Department, and
many others; that considerable amount of engineering has preceded the acceptance of the pefition;
and that he anticipated both sides of the narrows would become a unit project, with an early bid
call in the spring to avail ourselves of low tides, and fora completion prior to the fall of 1972.
Conm~issioner Clark spoke of his appreciation of this particular L.I.D. because he has been living
in the area which has been dumping maw sewage in the hay, through no fault of his or the other
property owners, and this will eliminate that area dumping pollutants into the waters, carried
unanimously.
2. Clerk Dresented petition for sanitary sewers in the area known as County Road # 250. The peti-
tion was signed by Carl Anderson of 1331 Eastlake Drive, and four other property owners.
Motion by Conmissioner Schoneman and Con,missioner C1 ack to accept the petition and request the
engineers report on the sufficiency of signatures.
Under discussion: Co~,,tissioner Schoneman stated this is one of the smallest petitions for a sewer
district, and the area will be co~ined with the Kitsap lake Shopping Center sewer line, which is
coming this spring. Mayor darstad stated that this was not one of the L.I.D.'s to come under the
old ordinance, but he recc~ended that this L.I.D. be treated the same as the others. Commissioner
Clark cormnented that the ordinance adopted recently has limited the districts which could come
under the old ordinance, and Co~missioner Schoneman and Mayom darstad agreed that this could be
looked at. Carried unanimously.
Clerk read letter dated December 16, 1971, from City Engineer Parker, which stated the tabulation
of signatures revealed the following:
Total area 80,000 square feet
Valid signatures 60,000 square feet
or 75%
Total Front Footage 400 feet
Valid Signatures 300 feet
or 75%
Motion by Co.,~issioner Clark and Mayor Jarstad to refer to the City Engineer for processing in the
fo~ion of the LID, carried unanimously.
LLTrEI< - TOTt~ GIRL SCOUT COUNCIL:
Clerk read letter dated December ?, 1971, to the City Council from Pips. Robert Murray, Day .~amp
Manager, asking to use the facilities at Otto Jarstad Municipal Park, July 10-13 and July 17-20.
Motion by Co,~nissioner Schoneman and Mayor Jarstad to refer letter to Mr. Err Heath, Supervisor
o-~ Water Supply Division.
Under discussion: Conmissioner Schoneman atated he could see no problem, as long as these dates
do not conflict with others who have preceded this letter's request, carried unanimously.
LLTI]CR - VERGEER (Water Bill):
Clerk read letter dated Decen~r 15, 1971, regamding water account No. 2-35002, signed by Mr.
Vergeer. The letter stated he represented property owners on a private ~ater line extending one-
half mile along Tracyton Road, beginning at Lebo and Sheridan; that water billing, dated November
15, 1971, in the amount of $187.00, represented charges made under rural service rates. Included
in this billing is the amount of water dissipated by a leak, of which the water depa~.b~nt is aware
that he has two complaints, one, billing is based on reading the master meter which is located
within the City, and that rural rates are generally applied where the City owns the distribution
system and services the rural accounts; that the method of billing is unfair and works against the
interests of his group, as they, individually, do not use the water quantities used by the City
for computation by the City for its bills. The actual araount of water used is 15,347 cubic feet.
The amount billed was for 29,450 cubic feet, the difference being water lost by leakage. The
letter asked for a reasonable adjustment for the water leak, and the application of water rate
schedules designed for master meter service within the City limits. Enclosed with the letter was
(MINUTES - CITY COUNCIL MEETING, DECI~BER 16, 1971, Cont.)
a check for $187.20, marked "endorsement shall signify acceptance of payment under protest."
Mr. Vergeer was present and was asked to speak concerning the letter. He reiterated that service
is obtained within the City limits through the master meter; that the City has no investment in
the distribution facilities except at the m~n meter. Mr. Vergeer enlarged on the difference
between rural customer rates and the City rates; and c~,~mnted that this system is in fact a
water district, except it is not incorporated, and continued his request for an adjustment due
to leakage.
Mayor Jarstad commented that if it were not for 5% of the people in his area, this area would be
annexed; and that he is hoping that this will occur and then there won't be the surcharge, ar~
asked Commissioner Schoneman to speak on the water leakage adjustment.
Con~ssioner Schoneman explained that normally if there is a leak occurring in the hack of the
meter in any part of the City, it would be the responsibility of the owner, and since this is
in part of the system and the City does have the experience of prior years of use; that the City
can weigh this against previous use and whatever their problem is; and we understand there was
a leak in the line; that he did not feel they should pay for this wasted water and a correction
will be made to the bill, concerning the loss.
Mr. Vergeer thanked the C~,missioners for this adjustment, and hoped they would look further into
whether or not the City should read the meters and bill the customers on the City water rate;
that all the City does at the present time is send one bill from the master meter, and if the rate
is going to be rural, he felt the City should do all the meter reading and billing.
Cor~issioner Schoneman said that he will look into this ree~mndation.
LLTf~ - EASt]~q~T: DEPARTMENT OF NA/'ORAL RESOURCES:
Clerk ~ead letter dated Decembe~ 8, 1971, to M~. Humbel, re: Easement No. ~96. Letter enclosed
an easement supplement draft, which had been discussed with Mm. Humble on December ?. Letter
asked for review of the d~aft and appropriate action; also, under # 2 space was provided to insert
consideration due for this instrument.
Motion by Co,,,,issioners Schoneman and Clark to approve the easement, subject to negotiation of the
con-~erations, carried unanim3usly.
Under discussion: C~,,,gssioner Schoneman suggested that a discussion be held with a representa-
tive of the state, so that the City arrives at a proper consideration. Motion ca~ried unanimously.
OPEN Mi~'fING 8: O0
No one was p~esent to b~ing up any matters before the Council.
BID OPENINGS:
Clerk stated it was time for opening bids on tires and tubes for 1~72, and a septic tank system
for the C~lf Clubhouse.
Motion by Mayo~ Jarstad and Co,missioner Clark to open the bids in the order related to the City
~--~1, carried unanimously.
Tires and tubes:
Clerk opened up bids on the tires and tubes fop 1972, as follows: 1) Firestone
2) Major Discount Tire Mart
3) O.K. Tire Store
4) D-B Corp.
5) J.C. Penneys
6) Shaub-Ellison
7) Raudenbush
Bid deposits were enclosed with all the bids except Firestone, who had made an offer to deposit
cash with Assistant City Auditor Ross. Mr. Ross did not wish to receive cash and the Firestone
representative said he would bring in cash on Fmiday. Mr. Ross was present and took the bids
to Mr. Sc)~neman's conference room to recap all the bids and have the information available to
the bidders.
Motion by Co,,,~gssioners Schoneman and Clark to refer the bids to c~,,,Jttee for study and recommen-
~%-{~-~, including Assistant City Auditor John Ross, and the garage foreman, carmied unanimously.
Septic Tank System:
Clerk opened the only bid received, from Bob Fogel and Sons, Inc. of Port Orchard. Enclosed was
a Cashier's check for $409.15. Bid was as follows:
Schematic # 1 $6,693.00
On page t%~ of bid call
Schematic # 1 $8,183.00
On page three of bid call
plus sales tax and an additional bid of $4.10 per lineal ft. for 4" in ABS DWB tightline in
excess of requirements.
Motion by Mayor Jarstad and Cxmmissioner Clark that the bid be referred to the architect, Mr.
~--~, for consultation with him and the co~nittee, and if it is evaluated to be apmoper bid,
that it be so awarded.
Under discussion: Mayor Jarstad stated that this motion was made with the idea that the City
would like to get construction under way in omder to meet deadline of opening the clubhouse.
C~,missioner Sohoneman commented that this bid is only talking about sewers and it is the only
time ever opened on a septic tank. This will be located at the golfcourse where no sanitary
sewers are located. The cost is due to being a large system, and the City Council and the Health
(MINUTES - CITY COUNCIL ME~I'ING, DEC~BER 16, 1971, Cont.)
Department specifies the size to handle the building that is normally constructed, carried unan-
imously.
HEARINGS:
LID # 309:
Motion by Mayor Jarstad and Commissioner Schoneman that hearing be held on final assessment roll
~ L.I.D. # 309. carpied unanimously.
Clerk stated he had posted, mailed and published notices of the assessment, as required by law,
and he had ~eceived four protests prior to this meeting and two had been given to him before the
hearing was opened.
Clerk read the letters from those who objected to the assessments and the Mayor asked that each
be handled separately. Representing the City Engineering Dep~.h~ent at this meeting were James
Root, Assistant City Engineer, George Moe, Design Engineer, and Jer~ l~norn~, Office Engineer,
and also present was Howard Godat, the City's consulting engineer.
The first protest letter was f~om Hamlow Burks Co. and Bessie Harlow Burks. 1~neir objection was
that their lots cons~[~cute one site, and form a right triangle, with.the base on I~tke Erive. How-
ard Godat agreed that it is a triangular piece of property and that a portion is quite narrow, and
obviously not the same value as the rest of the lot; that the City engineer staff has rec~mmnded
that the assessment not be charged until the proper~y beec~nes a depth df 50 ft. Mr. Root explain-
ed that this makes a ~ifference of 50 ft., which leaves an assessment on 125.9 ft., or a total
assessment of $634.50, and Mr. Root recoJm~_nded reducing the assessment to $634.50. Mayor Jarstad
asked if anyone was present to speak on the letter. There was no one present and F~y(rr Jarstad
stated this was the rec~,,~mndation of the engineering department and the Council tends to Ko along
~4ith their recu,,~ndation. Con~ssioner Clark c~,,mnted this is in keeping with the City's gen-
eral practice, which is that the portion of the property less t~ 50 ft. in depth not be assessed,i
because it is not developable.
Motion by C~m~ssioners Clark and Schoneman to approve the rec~m,endation and reduce the amount
bf~ assessment roll in accordance therewith, from $9~7.00 to the sum of $63~.50, or a reduc-
tion of $302.50, carried unanimously..
Harry W. Johansen- The next objection was filed in a letter from Ha~ W. Johansen, of 6023 Harlow
Drive. Clerk read his objection, which stated his assessment was for installation of 208 feet of
sewer at $5.00 per foot. His objection pointed out that his property is at the south end of the
L.I.D. and only enough pipe was installed to serve his home; that he is at the highest elevation
of this installation; further, if any additions are made to serve his neighbors to the south,
there would be no need of extending his main sewer line as these would be flowing down hill to
the south. His objection had.a postscript concerning the wire marker above the lateral, which was
that the marker was more than 5 feet north of the lateral and cost an extra hours of time in lo-
cating the lateral, at an additional cost of $47.~0. Howard Godat explained that the sewer line
was no constructed to the far southerly ex~3r~mity of his property because at the point terminated
it would serve his home and there was nothing to be gained by extending it. Mr. Johansen did have
an extensive problem because all of his plumbing came from behind his house to the roadway and was
quite deep. Mr. Godat explained about the marker not being right over the lateral. The ditch
was some t]LLrteen to fourteen feet deep and when the backfill was placed, the actual marker slid
off to one side. C~,~Jssioner Clark asked if the line was not extended the full length of the lot,
weuld it serve the entire lot in the future? Mm. Godat answered it would, if he wanted to build
on the property, and that the entire property is being benefitted. Mr. Root stated the City En-
gineer's office recommended no relief in this particular case, due to the fact the line is extend-
ed far enough to Serve the entire lot, and that the entire lot does receive full benefit and is
fully beneficial to the entire property. Mr. Johansen spoke on his behalf and brought up another
point which was not in his letter, in that if the property was developed behind his house, hook-
ups would ~%ave to be made to the interceptor line, and not to the line on Harlow Drive, which
would be a considerable expense. Conmlissioner Clark explained to him that any development over
120 feet back from the line would be considered beyond the one hookup allowed and there would be
a hookup charge in any event for any residences built on the three acres, and beyond the 120 feet.
Mr. Root showed on the map where the home is located, and that the LID ended at his propezi-y;
that the sewer line is to his driveway, and anything beyond his property w~uld flow in the opposite
direction. Mr. Clark explained the fact that the $5.00 front foot charge in no way covers the corn-;
plete cost of the project, and gave information as to the construction charges and the fact that
the City subsidizes through its entire system. Mr. Johansen questioned the fact the line has a
1% grade, and felt it should have been placed 1 ft. deeper; that he was eoncermed he might have
trouble with the line because of the length of the fall. C~,,,~[ssioner Sehoneman explained that
he didn't believe there would be any tr~]ble; that 1% is adequate for any sewer system, and there
are areas in the City having larger pipes, with a 1/2% fall.
~tion by Co~ssioners Schoneman and Clark to concur with the reco~medation of the City Engineer
~ference to this assessment, carried unanimously.
louis Buccini - Clerk read letter from Louis Buceini, 6047 }{~rlow Drive, objecting to the assess-
'ment of $557.50 for 111.50 feet of frontage on Harlow Drive. Reasons given: 1) That the sewer
line, as installed on Harlow Drive, which measures 111.50 feet, is of no benefit to his property.
This line lacks about six feet of being long enough to serve him. 2) The line he is forced to
use, since it is the only one having enough fall, is on the west end of the property; also, the
lot is only 100 ft. wide and this line goes straight tkrough it instead of on a bias as Harlow
D~ive. Mr. 5~ccini questioned that he be cha~ed for the true 100feet instead of 111.50 feet.
Mr. Godat stated that his protest was that he was not assessed on the 100 feet, but only the
111.50 feet which is on the roadway, and this was the method done on other projects; that the
(MINUTES - CITY COUNCIL M~L~I'ING, DEC~BER 16, 1971, Cont. )
[~ontage is the amount of line that is installed and is used for making the assessment. Origin-
ally had designed a gravity facility to ser~;e him from the street, and at his request, and
because his facilities were on the west side of his house, they Pan a line off the west side
of his property, and then the line on the roadway was raised because it didn't need to be as
deep as originally designed. He requested to have the line on the west side so it could serve
another Dortion of property and his own in the street. M~. Root stated the reco~nendation was
that the frontage be reduced fromlll.50 feet to 100 feet. This is for the portion in the back
instead of the front.
Motion by C~,,Jssioner Sc~mneman and Co~aissioner Clark to concur with the engineer's reconmen-
da~ and reduce the footage to 100 feet, rather than 111.50 feet, and the assessment be reduced
in the amount of $57.50, carmied unanimously.
Mr. Buccini thanked the City Council fop their consideration.
Con~nissioner Schoneman c~,~mnted that when the savings is considered to the entire pmoject and
to the City for raising the grade on this particular portion on Harlow Drive, it far superoedes
the reduction that the City is able to offer Mr. Buccini.
James Strait - Clerk read objection f~om James B. Strait, 6530 Hamlow Drive. Letter stated that
his property is an irregular shaped piece which would permit the building of only one residence;
that there is 216 feet of road frontage, but the benefit of the sewer to the p~operty can be no
more than that of other property in the area, which has no more than 100 feet frontage fop assess-i
ment purposes; that this does not have a sewer lateral to it, and protests the assessment of
$1,080.00 as being far out of proportion to the benefits obtained, and requested this amount be
reduced. Mr. Godat stated it is true that it is an irTegular shaped piece that comes to a point
and the Fngineer's Depa~.h~mnt has looked into this and has a recon~T~ndation. Mr. Root stated
the Engineer's Office recommendation is much the same as done for the Burk's property, which is
to cut off that portion less than 50 feet in depth. This decreases the, front footage to 170 feet,i
and from $1,080 to $850, carried unanimously.
Br~wn-Dodge - City Clerk read a protest letter from Evelyn Brown Dodge, from Mapledale Trailer
C~urts, 6116 Kitsap Way. The objection was to the assessment on her property along Lyle Avenue;
that most of the court is located on a lower elevation and continues down hill, which would make
it proper to use the Kitsap Way sewer line; that she has 360.7 feet of frontage on Kitsap Way
and the $1,803.50 is a fair price; however, the cost of $1,413.50 for the Lyle Avenue side, which
she did not use, creates a large expense and asked for consideration of this assessment. Clerk
then read memo dated December 14, 1971, from the City Engineer, which stated that the sewer on
Lvle Avenue w~s not placed deep enough to serve the frontage of her property on Lyle Avenue with-
out pumping. One lot with a frontage of 80 feet could be developed in the northeast corner of
the above property, with gravity flow, provided no plumbing is allowed in the basement. The
engineer's recommendation was that Mrs. Brown be assessed $400 for her frontage of 283 feet
on Lyle Avenue or 80 ft. at $5.00 per lineal foot; also, the engineer's recormnended no change
in Mrs. Brown's assessment for the Kitsap Way frontage. Cc~ssioner Schoneman commented that :
this indicated she would be assessed on two ~ides, Kitsap Way and Lyle Avenue, with a reduction
on Lyle Avenue. Mayor Jarstad stated that he wanted it to be specifically understood that she ~
is paying front footage for that portion of her property which is useable and pertains to Lyle ,
Avenue only. Mr. Root stated this is correct, and that she would be charged only for 80 feet, whic
Would be used on a gravity flow. She would be charged $5.00 per foot for the 80 foot strip and I
this is the total useable frontage on Lyle Avenue. C~,,~ssioner Clark stated that in the future
if there was a hookup on Lyle Avenue or down to Kitsap Way, it would be charged for as an additio~-
al hookup in each case. Mayor Jarstad asked if anyone was present to speak on this request. No ~.
one was present as Mrs. Brown had stated in her letter she was ill.
Motion by Co~ssioner Clark and Mayor Jarstad to concur with the engineer's recc~mendation and ',
make the appropriate adjustment, carried unanimously. ~
McKinley - Clerk read objection signed by Mrs. Marvin McKinley, which stated they had been unjust~
ly assessed because at the p~esent time they are unable to hook up. This is assessment for ~ 61
on the roll. She stated in her letter that an easement to the sewer line on Lakehurst was re-
fused by the owner of the lot which borders Lakehurst and their property, so a service line was
not constructed; thatuntil the sewer is available she felt they should not have to pay. Mr.
C~dat stated that initially on the design, the pmope~.ty, which sits extremely below Kitsap Way,
was to have been served by an easement; that the City was unable to acquire the easement. Com-
missioner Clark cc~,~nted that if the City had acquired an easement, a line would have been run
through to her property, and it was on this basis that the front footage charge was made. Mr.
C~odat stated that was correct and that because no easement was obtained no construction was in-
stalled, and his recommendation is to omit this assessment f~om the rolls. Mr. Root, represent- ~
ing the engineer's office, concurred with Mr. Godat and had consulted with the City Attorney.
Motion by Con~lissioners Schoneman and Clark to concur in the recommendation and to omit the assess-
ment because there is no benefit derived.
Under discussion: Co~ssioner Clark c~,,,~nted that the City Council is not makin~ a concession
in this case because it would not be possible to enforce collection of an assessment where no
benefit is derived. C~,,~Jssioner Schoneman stated that if there is a home on this property and
this a~ea should be sewered, it would be to the benefit of the City to condem for an easement
through to the property and make them part of it, and at that time activate the assessment to
the property, because the City wants all this area sewered. Mr. Schoneman asked if there was a
home on that properefy, and Mr. ~oot said there was, and Co~missioner Schoneman said that he did
not believe there should be any assessment at this time, but to conderm~ the right-of-way for an
easement to continue the sewer to service this property. Mayor Jarstad said he heartily agreed,
motion carried unan~mmusly.
James Kerson - 1725 Lakehurst Drive spoke to the Council. It was noted that he did not have a
(MINIfFES - CITY COUT[CIL MEL'rING, DECI~BER 16, 1971, Cont.)
written objection, but he felt it was better to speak directly to the Council than writing a letter
Mr. Kerson spoke, using one of the maps to illustrate the points he wanted to make. He stated that
his property was irregular in shape and th~a portion was completely unusable for a building site.
Mr. C~odat checked on his map and stated the sewer line is on both stmeets and Mr. Root showed an-
other maD and stated that the sewer line is on both sides of his proper~cy. Con~Lissioner Clark
asked if the assessment has already been adjusted for the portion under 50 feet in depth? Mr.
C~dat stated that was correct. Mr. Kerson stated he could only put a bathroom in on the second
floor because of the depth of the sewer line. Considerable discussion followed as to whether or
not Mr. Kemson's property could receive adequate service because he would have to build another
bathroom on the second floor. Mr. Kerson was positive in his statement that he was not able to
be adequately served because of the lack of depth in one sewer line and because the other street
was so far removed that it would be extremely exp~_nsiveLto make a connection to it. Con~nissioner
Schoneman stated that in that event he rated anot~n,e~%~ut cost to him.
Motion by Mayor Jamstad and Co~Lissioner Schoneman that the hearing be closed and the assessment
roll be aporoved subject to the adjustments made, carried unanimously.

HEARING - BREMERS INC. (SHORELINE MANAGIMENT ACT)
~otion by Ma--y~-z~- arJ-~-~-tad and Con~nissioner Clark that the hearing under the Shoreline Management Act
~----~d at this time, as stated on the agenda.
Under discussion: bi~yor Jarstad mentioned the City has no detailed guidelines as yet, and Com-
missioner Clark stated he had read in the Bremerton Sun that the Depaz, b,mnt of Ecology has today
released the guidelines to be used by cities and towns. There were some interested persons present
for the hearing. An~ng those the following were recognized as follows: Merlin Frohardt, Manager
of Bremers, Inc., Mr. Anderson and Mr. Sherman, consultants for Bremers, Inc., and D~. Dick Lind-
strom, dentist with offices at 400 Washington Avenue, Mrs. Burwig, of 6~6 Washington Avenue, and
Leonard Peterson, owner of the B~emerton Servicemen's Center Building.
City Clerk read notice which he had published in the Bmemerton Sun and stated he had posted the
property and mailed a letter regarding the hearing to property owners of record within ~50 feet I
of the area. Clerk read memo da~ed November 23, 1971, to the City Council from Mr. Plescher, Plan-~
ning Director, which gave suggested method of processing Shoreline Management Applications, and
a memo dated December 16, 1971, to the Con~nissioners from Mr. Plescher, which stated "The purpose
of the hearing before the City Council is to make a determination of whether or not the proposed
facility will adversely effect the shoreline, and what effect the facility will have regardinK
access. Access to the beach by the public is assured; however, I would anticipate that some ques-
tions will be raised by the Dept. of Fmology regarding the fill even though a substantial amount
of fill has been placed on the beach. The question isn't so much in regard to the actual plant
and animal life that would be destroyed by the fill, but rather what will be the impact on the
biological con~nity. For example, will it substantially upset the food c~ain?"
Mayor Jarstad called upon Mr. Plescher to speak to the request that is before the Council. Mr.
Plescher spoke, using a map for reference, and stated the Act is in effect, and the Deparb.ent of
Ecology is ~radually working up the guidelines supposed to be followed at the local level; how-
ever, at the moment the City is pretty much on its own; that he had talked to the people in the
DeparTment and no guidelines had been set up. Mr. Plescher took note that Mr. Clark had seen an
article in the newspaper that the guidelines were out. Mm. Plescher said the main prupose of this
~ is not to determine whether land use is proper, because this bas already been predetermined
(MINUTES -CITY COUNCIL MEETING, DECt~BER 16, 1971, Cont.)
but rather to try to assess the impact of the facilities on the shoreline, and the Act is m~stly
directed towamds those things:
1) The public has access to the beach, and
2) What impact a fill would have, for example, on the plant and animal life in the area?
Mr. Plescher, from the map, showed the site and fill area, which would extend approximately sixty
feet out from where the original fill now goes around the area. Mr. Clark questioned the state-
ment that thepublic has access to the beaches, because this hearing is regarding private pmoperty.
Mr. Plescher stated that as he understands the Act and the guidelines, this is one of the things
the Depa~.b~nt of Ecology is concerned about; however, Mr. Plescher was not sure about access
where a person owns a lot along the watenpfront and owns tidelands, and in that case whether the
public has access to this; but, this is one of the things the Department of Ecology is concerned
about. Co~missioner Clark stated that he could see the interest of the Department of Ecology
where it concerns public lands, not where it concerns that of private ownership. In the latter
case, the Depa~.b~nt of Ecology could ccme in and say public access must he allowed. Mr. Plescher
didn't have a definite answer at this time.
Cou~,{ssioner Schoneman asked for an explaination about the food chain, and commented that the only
food chain he has ever seen from walking the beaches in this area is garbage off little shacks,
and had quite a population of rats. Anything in this a~ea that ~uld clean up a situation like
this, he said he was all for it. Co~missioner Schoneman asked about the zonation as it pertained.
to the food chain. Mm. Plescher answered regarding the biological concept of the beach, there is
a definite zone path of plant life and animal life as it moves down to low low tide. This whole
inner tidal a~ea can he considered as one c~,L~nity and these plants and animals are dependent
upon one another. Mr. Plescher pointed out that he only gave one example, and the only reason he
did mention this is because this may be one of the questions that is asked by the Departn~nt of
Ecology. He said he did not know if a survey would be required, which might be to go out with
a lantern at night to determine how far the fill has gone out now, add what impact the additional
fill would have on the ar~a.
3) ~ssioner Schoneman remarked that as he recalled the plan, he didn't think there is
additional fill. He believed it is going to be'-On piling, and he didn't ~hink %heFy-~-e going to
extend out ~-L~-r than they are~ presently.
4) Mr. Frohardt stated he was basically correct. He pointed out on the plR~ ~ ~t this
point there has been a bulkhead installed along the area. Relating to the applicat~o~ ~,9, ~h~ Corps
of Engineers, they have asked that the bulhead be extended an additional sixty feet to the north, and
then reun back to the property line that would be parallel to the property that Bremers has acquired.
He stated further, that Mr. Anderson had done some work, and could probably tell about the water on
the low and mean tide.
Mayor Jarstad c~,~,~nted that the food chain is ~e of the i~q things the Depa~',b~nt of
Ecology will give consideration to in this application; maybe not so much here where you h~ve
fill already, but in shallow areas where there is sea grass, her~ing spawning, etc., and this
should be given consideration in this hearing. :
Mr. Anderson spoke on a publication which came out this year fr~n the Bureau of Fisheries, which
directs specifically to the problem of erection of bulkheads, and the tide level which has to be
considered at the point where you ape moving out into a beach area for a vertical bulkhead, and
also for a rubble-type bulkhead, which are different. The very fact that when the Corps permit
w~s applied for there was a different view as to the objectives of this program, and saw the fac-~
ilities down on the waterfront, and this was the situation that existed when the Shoreline Manage7
ment was applied for, and, of course, the more recent planning which has placed this away flx~n
the water, has resulted in a requirement for a new look at the Shoreline Management permit as
well. That is what the Council is seeking here, and the only thing that is being retained now,
and the only way it all impacts the waterfront is the extension of some kind of retaining wall
and fill in this small portion that has been mentioned. He stated further~ that they have no
direction fr~n the Shoreline Managen~nt people as yet. The action of the Corps of Engineems on
granting the per,tit which has been applied for, is held in abeyance until such time as the Shore-I
line Management Permit is resolved, and then we have been informed that the various state agenciep
under Ecology have done the same thing. They are waiting on this application. They will have
to certify to the Corps ~ and they a~e not moving until the Shorelines Management has been ad-
judicated. Mr. Anderson said they have talked to the people in Olympia in the Dep~'.b~mnt of
Natural Resources and in F~ology, and find there is no feedback yet; however, in specifying what
type of bulkhead which has to be erected, and the only thing that really directs to this point
that he had seen, has come from Fisheries. He said he thought there were some options here that
can he used. Mr. Anderson co~nented in relation to the question about bulkheads, the whole area,
or a good share of it, is fill, and will have to be stabilized before the erection of the build-
ing. This will have to be investigated, and also investigate the type of structure which will
go down on the beach. There a~e some options, but they haven't really looked into them yet.
Mr. Anderson then introduced Mr. Sherman, who is working with him on this project. Mr. Sherman
stated as lap as some of the options available from the 2nd Street wharf, it is a lot of rubble
and he has been thinking about a few things~ such as the bu/khead could be smoothed off and rock
rip-rap to high tide and then some landscaping on up from there. It will depend on what they have
to do with this site, and the stability of the whole piece of land. He said they will have to ge}
soil experts to investigate the stability of the whole thing before they can decide definitel~
what has to be done here. After they have done this they will have to satisfy the Cor~s of
Engineers that they ame going to do the right thing, ar~ he stated~lhe thought the City could trus~
the Co~ps to make the proper decision on this.
(MINUTES - CITY COUNCIL ME~±'ING, DECEMBER 16, 1971, Cont.)
5) Mr. Frohardt stated the economic feasibility study indicated the motel be developed
in two units. The original application was to build on the waterfront, but because of their
desire to get going and because of the newness of the Shoreline Management ~nt they have designed
the unit to be away fDom the waterfront. The other portion is a second extension which can be
placed on the waterfront if the Corps of Engineers gives permission. After the Port District
study has been co~pleted and it is determined exactly what is to be done on the waterfront, the
second phase can tie into whatever is decided to be right for the waterfront, and how it should
be developed.
Mr. Frohardt mentioned, rmgamding the soil studies, that the N~r~hwest Testing laboratory did for
Mr. Bishop and Mr. Solie, who were working on a structure, that the information has been available
for study and evaluation, and this has been available for study and examination, and this has
been part of the input that has gone into this.
Mr. Frohardt showed a detailed plan which showed the shoreline. This was taken fmom a photograph
made by Ward Muller in conjunction with a survey he made along theme. Mr. Frohardt pointed out
where the fill was to take place and discussed the plan in some detail, showing various views of
the structure. He said, regarding the food study along the beach and what might happen there,
that perhaps they should look into the possibility of sending in some data along with this appli-
cation; that he would like to get things clear and would like to build in the Spring, and he
would like thinks right so there ape no snags in the application.
Mayor Jsrstad talked about the City's concemn as it pertains to the waterfront in connection with
curr~nt flow, depth, sharp drop-offs, the shallow lagoon, etc., that in many of these cases the
questions can be readily answered, but should answer each one of the questions that has been
raised by the Planner.
6 ) Mr. Anderson stated if the Pu~.t activity involving a comprehensive plan goes ahead as
it apparently is now, a year from now we will have a pretty ~ood inventory which will give a great
deal more credulity to the second phase of this development. We are Staying away from the water-
f~ont now except for the request for this small pol~tion of fill which is not much of an extension
of wi%at is already there. It makes a relative small impact on the situation there.
Mayor Jarstad asked for any questions from those present and stated he understood the Council could
concur tonight in the developmental plans and approve them or make statements in opposition to the
plans presented to us this evening. He said he welcomed citizens conm~nts.
Dr. Dick Lindst-com, who said he is the owner of property to the north~ asked what is the level of
the bulkhead as it relates to the tide level, and asked if it had been established? Mr. Anderson
c~,,~ented that originally, as proposed on the Corps Permit Application, it was placed about two
feet above the level of the 2nd Street dock; that would place it about five feet above extreme
high tide, that is the grade. Mr. Frehardt asked of Mr. Anderson about elevations given on the
plan, and whether that would give any reference point. Mr. Anderson stated the only answer he
could give is that it is noted on the plan, 160 feet, which is just about the elevation of the
corner of 4th Street and Washington, or about between Burwell and ~th Street level.
A co~ent was made by Mr. Frohamdt that 129 feet was down a litte ways from ~th, and poihted out
the location on the site plan.
Dr. Lindstrom asked how far out in the bay, in relation to the tide level, he mentioned there is
some law that restricts bulkheads; that there is some figure that establishes as a level for
location of bulkheads, and asked if it was the mean tide or out in the hay. Mr. Anderson stated
that the way the bay actually slopes in that area, he couldn't give an exact reading. He showed
on the plan where there was a landmark which represents a right angle corner. This is a corner
of an old wooden retaining wall that was there, and you can see the mark of what would p~obably
be the mean high water on that, which would place it about 120.2 feet.
Mr. Sherman stated the requirements as stipulated by the Fishemies people, is 9 feet if the bulk-
head goes down to the beach. If you put a sloping rock face in front of the bulkhead it is 6.6 ft.
DP. Lindstrom stated he was trying to convert that figure, that is the horizontal level of the
tide, or does that level apply above that far where the tide intersects the beach if you erect
the bulkhead there? Mr. Anderson stated that he could not e~actly tmanslate that into a plan
view which would show specifically where the mark is, but it won't be very far from the location
shown on the rap.
Mr. Froha~dt stated that they believe that it would be perhaps 8 ft. to 10 ft. beyond that mark,
~t didn't know for sure.
Dr. Lindstrom stated another way to ask, is how far is the projected bulkhead out beyond where
the rip-rap is now? Mr. Andems~n replied, he couldn't answer exactly, it varies as it goes along.
Mr. Frohardt, after discussion of this point, stated it would be inside of the point marked on
the map.
Co,~,,~ssioner Schoneman asked about the ownership fronting this property, whether the owner has
the tidelands, or whether it is state ownership? Mr. Froha~dt stated it actually is owned by
Bremers and the harbor area is leased from the state.
(MINUTES - CITY COUNCIL MEL'I'ING, DECE]MBER 16, 1971, Cont.)
~yor Jarstad asked if he understood that the bulkhead would be back further in f£~L, where it
is now, and Mr. Frohardt stated he didn't think so. He said this point was placed some time
ago by the Depaz, b~mnt of Natural Resources. He said further, that tb~y had found some conflicts
in surveys and in going down to Depa~.b,~nt of Natural Resources they haven't been able to pull
out the permit; so Mr. Frohardt said he thought they knew where it is but some of it is going
to have to be researched. The Co~ps of Engineers has some information on it, and what they have
and what the Corps of Engineers has on it, there apparently has bean a lot of variance on some
of it, not a great deal, but it is there. The present bulkhead is just inside the inner harbor
line and in sc~e places that is 8ft to 10 ft. inside, and in this area he didn't think it is
quite as much as it is in other areas. Also, Mr. Frohardt stated they had placed on the Corps
of Engineers application where they would like to place the bulkhead in relation to the harbor
line and that is virtually at the harbor line. Mr. Anderson commented that maybe it may turn out
on an actual survey that the most feasible location for a bulkhead may be from that line; that
we think the actual inner harbor line has kind of disappeared, and he had sketched in where ac-
tually is inboard quite a little ways from where the fill is now, and he thought there was going
to have to be som~ verification for the most feasible spot. Mr. Frohardt stated the Army En-
gineers will come and check the survey when Bremers gets ready to go on it in the locatioa, but
"they do have a location on their ~plication where they would like to have it.
~fr. Frohardt stated it is their hope to separate the hearinF, the Army Corps of Engineers is goin~ to
have on thi~, from the Shoreline Management. He said helknew they were intermingled and it is be-
cause they are interwoven that they tried to keep the motel structure back from the beach, not to
change the beach, so they could get going and hope that they could take care of those deliberations
~n more detail when they find what the Corps wants and what they will permit us to do. Mr. Frohardt
~tated he was not sure this was in order, but he hoped it would be possible to proceed in that man-
~mr and ~o ahead with the Shoreline Management Act when the building is back here, but they do have
the application before the Corps of Amy Engineers to fill this, and they have the application before
them to build a motel on piling down in that area. He stated they were going to pursue this with the
hope of gettin~ approval to build on the waterfront, providing there is no conflict with any one else.
Mayor Jarstad asked Mr. Plescher if the proper procedure in this hearing is to endorse such
a project and then write up the recommendations that the City has and forward that to the
Department of Ecology? Mr. Plescher said it was correct. Motion by Commissioners Clark
and Schoneman that the City Council approve the permit and ~ns~ct the City Attorney and
Planner to prepare the necessary Resolution that will accompany it for reading and passage
at the next Council Meeting.
Under discussion: Mayor Jarstad stated that most everything has been said in the paper and
on tile radio about how everybody is impressed and excited for a facility of this dimension
coming into being in our City, and is sure that the City Council shares these feelings.
Bremerton is blessed with many items of interest to make it a convention city and a tourist
area.
Cor~nissioner Clark pointed out what can be done to promote tourist activities, by stating
he was in Honolulu recently and saw what has been done there. Motion carried unanimously.

LETTER - KRN~]R, G{IN ~ MAYO
Clerk read letter dated December 7, 1971, to Commissioner Schoneman which attached a letter
from General Construction asking for an extension of time to complete the sewage treatment
plant modifications. Request of time to complete the sewage treatment plant modifications
based on delay in obtaining gates and grit pumps. K.C.&Mayor recommended extension be
granted for one month to Februar~ 1, 1972. Motion by Commissioner Schoneman and Commissioner
Clark to concur with the recommendation of rkO, Chin ~ Mayo. Under discussion: Hr.
Schoneman cormnented that the firm encountered difficulty in obtaining equipment and there
were poor weather conditions~ 29 days of rain; that the city is not in a great rush to have the
plant; they are to the point of completion of Plant No. 1; believe the City is well within
its right to allow this request. Motion carried unanimously.
(MINL~FES - CITY COUNCIL MEETING, DECEMBER 16, 1971, Cont.)
OUTSIDE UTILITY APPLICXIlON & AGREF~dNT (Vander Yacht):
Clerk presented application & agreement signed by Vander Yacht for the County Lane Mabile
llome Park, for sanitary sewer connection to the city. Attached was memo. dated December 10,
1971, from City Engineer to which was attached a copy of a letter to Mr. Vander Yad~t from
the City Engineer dated October 8, 1971, concerning the charges and installation of the line;
and the memo stated he had made 20% down payment and completed an agreement for payment of
the balance in yearly installments.
~otion by Commissioners Schoneman and Clark to approve of the outside utility agreement for
~-~ander Yacbt, carried unanimously.
SURPLUS I~ATER (SUPPLY~ ITEMS:
Clerk presented a list of item recommended by Mr. Err. tleath to be declared surplus to
the city's needs; such as pump casings, motors; pumps and an engine.
~otion by Commissioners Schoneman and Clark to surplus the material and it be d~.sposed of
~ best interests of the City by the City Clerk, carried unanimeu$1y.
EXTERIOR SIUNS - WICK CONST. CO.
Clerk read memo. from City Engineer Parker to which was attached a proposal from Wick Const.
Co. for exterior signing for the new parking facility. There were two proposals, both for two
signs by tlanson Sign Company; one with day time clock and one with electric eyes. Proposal
No. 1, $2,594.?8; l~r~aosal No. 2, $2,599.40; both plus sales tax.
~tion by Commissioners Clark and Schoneman to approve the Change Order to the Wick Const.
~. contract and approve Proposal No. 2. Under discussion: Mr. Clark comnented that this
will get the necessary signs on the outside of the building which will call attention to
the public of the parking available. This has been a handicap until now and will be a worthwhile
installation. ~tion carried unanimously.
SEVFIC TANK BID FOR GOLF CLUBttOUSE:
City's consulting architect, Chuck Gilman, reported that a review of Fogel ~ Sons bid for
the septic tank system shows it meets all requirements. In consultia~g with County llealth
Department authorities it has been determined that Fogle f~ Sons have executed many septic tank
system within the county and holds a county lieense for both installer and designer of
septic tank system. The health officials speak of Fogle ~ Sons previous work as entirely
satisfactory. It is therefore the recommendation of the architect that the Fogle ~ Sons
bid in the amount of $8,183.00 plus sales tax be accepted. This higher bid is based on
locating the drain field system farther from the building. It is the one reconmended by
the ttealth Dept. officials. It is also recon~ended that the bid include the unit price of
$4.10 per lineal foot for reinforced tight line; be mede a part of the contract as a basis
for negotiating cost depending upon the exact location of the drain field. Mr. Gilman
then gave an explanation of the drain field, its location etc., and stated that Mr. Tyson want-
ed it in one location and the health officials and the architect wanted it in another,
because they felt it was best. Further explanation of Mr. Gilman is that obviously no one
wanted the cheapest bid which would have been directly in front of the bailding and under
the parking lot. The second proposal and the one that Mr. Gilman recon~nended for city's
acceptance places the septic tank in front of the building but runs the drain field on
the other side of the parking lot, on the north edge, thereby allowing all area within
tbe front of the building to be used for car parking and people with their golf bags. That
the location which Mr. Tyson feels he wants it is off to the west toward that ravine that
goes down into the trees. Commissioner Schoneman stated he had reviewed both proposals
and locations and I think prior to the bid opening, that is a week ago, it was my recorm~enda-
tion that we take the drain field straight ahead but away from the parking area, even
though it entailed additional closed line to the drain field area. The best operation
would be away from the clubhouse.
btotion by Con~Mssioner Schoneman and Mayor Jarstad implementing previous motion earlier
~n~s meeting and to concur in the location; under discussion: Mayor Jarstad asked if
both b~r. Gilman's recommendation and Commissioner Schoneman's reconmendation were in the
same area and Mr. Gilman said they were and also the health dept. Mr. Gilman then discussed
the reasons for ~lr. Tyson suggesting another area which Mr. Gilman stated would be a
problem in wet weather and odors would be remaining in the ravine area. b~r. Clark asked
how this fitted into the picture as an item of cost. Mr. Gilman stated that it was esti-
mated at $5,000.00. Mr. Clark commented that Mr. Tyson has agreed to make an adjustment
in the agreement; and b{r. Gilman stated the system had to meet with the approval of the
health dept. ~btion carried unanimously.
BILLS:
~n by Commisioner Clark and Mayor Jarstad to pay all bills that are approved by a
ma--~ty of the commission, carried.
(.omm~ssioner Clark reported on the work being done to bring the budget into balance and that
so far no accounting has been made of any adjustment in salaries.
Gave a restune of National League of Cities Convention in tlonolulu. Gave comments on a
talk given there by Vice President Agnew.
