PUBLIC HEARING
7 A - CLOSED RECORD HEARING ON ORDINANCE NO. 5073. APPROVING A REZONE OF 1.4
ACRES LOCATED AT 5005 ARSENAL WAY (#AB09-013):
President McConnell explained that this was a "Closed Record Hearing" and therefore asked that "all
Council Members now give consideration whether they have 1) a demonstrated bias or prejudice for or
against any party to the proceedings; 2) a direct or indirect monetary interest in the outcome of the
proceedings; 3) a prejudgment of the issue prior to hearing the facts on the record; of 4) had ex parte
contact with any individual, excluding administrative staff, with regard to an issue prior to the hearing. If
any Council Member should answer in the affirmative, then the Council Member should state the reason
for their answer at this time so that the Chair may inquire of the City Attorney as to whether a violation of
the Appearance of Fairness Doctrine or a Conflict of Interest exists."
President McConnell asked if any member of the public believed any Council member should excuse
themselves due to a conflict with the Appearance of Fairness Doctrine, or for other concerns, to please
state the reasons now. Due to no comments from the public, all Council members remained seated.
Mr. Lubovich explained that the Appearance of Fairness Doctrine was read because this was a Closed
Record Hearing and Quasi Judicial proceeding; and summarized that the action before Council is to 1)
approve and adopt the findings and recommendations; 2) modify and approve the findings and
recommendations; 3) reject and deny the findings and recommendations; or 4) continue the closed
record hearing and remand the matter to the Hearing Examiner. Mr. Lubovich further explained that
because this was a Closed Record Hearing, no public input would be taken.
Lindsey Sehmel, Planner, stated that consistent with the 2008 Comprehensive Plan Amendments, the
action before the Council is to grant approval of a rezone of a total 1.4 acres of land located at 5005
Arsenal Way from City Utility Lands (CUL) to Master Development (MD).
Oq:44:25 M/S/C/U (Arends/Runyon) Move to pass Ordinance No. 5073, approving a rezone of a total of /
1.4 acres located at 5005 Arsenal Way.
COUNCIL MEMBER REPORTS
Nick Wofford reiterated details about the Open House on Monday, February 2 from 5:00 to 7:00 PM in
the First Floor Meeting Chambers of the Norm Dicks Government Center to provide information about a
proposed creation of a Transportation Benefit District; and he clarified that the City will not receive any
money from the Motor Vehicle Excise Tax (MVET), and only 21 % of property taxes comes to the City.
Will Maupin reported on his attendance at the Puget Sound Regional Council's "Growth Management
Policy Board" where presentations were heard by various Growth Centers from around the Puget Sound
including Silverdale and the City of Bremerton; and also attended the Kitsap Transit Policy Board
meeting where they are forming sub-committees to deal with the many issues coming before the board.

AGENDA BILL NARRATIVE FOR THE PURCHASE OF TWO DRY-PIT
SUBMERSIBLE PUMPS FOR PUMP STATION WB-3
Currently pump station WB-3 has five (5) dry-pit submersible pumps for the operation of
the pump station. Three large pumps for higher flows, and two smaller pumps to handle
the average daily flows. The two smaller pumps are at the end of their useful mechanical
life, as we constantly have to make major repairs to these units, on a semi-annual basis.
There is also an inherent ragging problem with these pumps due to a design flaw, which
adds unneeded labor hours and overtime call-outs. The purchase of the N style series
pump from Flygt, will eliminate the ragging issues, and also provide us with a stable
mechanically sound pump system.

Separation Request for Risk Manager
Committee Meeting Date: January 28, 2009
COUNCIL MEETING Date: February 4, 2009
Department: City Attorney's Office
Presenter: Roger A. Lubovich
Phone: 473-2345
SUMMARY: The City's Risk Manager has applied for the voluntary separation program
implemented by City Council under Ordinance No. 5068. The program requires that the position
vacated remain vacant for at least one year unless otherwise approved by city Council. The intent is
that the separation results in a quantified ongoing savings for at least one year. If approved the
voluntary separation proposal will result in a position vacancy. However, rather than leaving the
position vacant for one year, staff is proposing that the position of Risk Manager be reclassified as a
Risk Management Specialist and reassigned from Pay Band 16 to pay Band 12. Additionally, the
position would be moved to the Office of the City Attorney. The resulting ongoing savings from the
reclassification will be at least $24,748.56 annually.
ATTACHMENTS: None
FISCAL IMPACTS (Include Budgeted Amount): The Risk Management Fund will realize an
annual savings of at least $24,748.56.

Article 18 .......... POLICE OFFICERS' BILL OF RIGHTS
The wide ranging powers and duties given to the Police Department and its members involve them
in all manner of contacts and relationships with the public. Of these contacts come many questions
concerning the actions of members of the force. These questions often require immediate
investigation by superior officers designated by the Chief of the Bremerton Police Department. In
an effort to insure that these investigations are conducted in a manner which is conducive to good
order and discipline, the following guidelines are promulgated:
18.1 Internal Investigation Defined - For the purposes of this Appendix, the term "internal
investigation" means an investigation by or under the authority of the Chief of Police of
activities, circumstances or events pertaining to the conduct or acts of a City law
enforcement employee. Such investigation shall be deemed a "criminal investigation" where
it is suspected that such conduct or acts are or may be the basis for filing a criminal charge
against such employee, and shall be deemed a "major investigation" where it is suspected
that such conduct or acts may also or alternatively be the basis for discharge, suspension or
other discipline of such employee.
18.2 Employee Advised of Alleged Misconduct - Every employee who becomes the subject of
an internal investigation shall be advised at the time of any interview in connection
therewith that, as the case may be, (s)he is suspected of:
18.2.1
Committing a criminal offense.
Proposed Collective Bargaining Agreement - Bremerton Police Management Association
January 1, 2009 through December 31,20] I
Page 15 of 18
Arill1"oved Contract for Ratification
18.2.2 Misconduct which would be grounds for termination, suspension, or other
disciplinary action; or that (s)he may be qualified for continued employment
with the Police Department. At the time of the interview such employee shall
also be informed of the name of the officer in charge of the investigation and
the name of the officer who will be conducting the interview.
18.3 Representation by Counsel - Any employee who becomes the subject of a criminal
investigation may have legal counsel present during all interviews of such
employee. Such representation by counsel shall be confined to counseling and shall
not be authority for any participation by counsel in the investigation.
18.4 Employee to be Informed in Writing-Recorded Interviews - In the case of any
major investigation and before any interview commences, the employee to be
interviewed shall be informed in writing of the nature of the investigation including
information necessary to reasonably appraise him/her of the allegations of any
complaint and (s)he shall be afforded an opportunity and facilities to contact and
consult privately with an attorney of his/her own choosing before being interviewed.
Such employee may request that the interview be recorded, either mechanically or
by a stenographer, and no questions shall be asked "off the record". Upon request,
the employee under investigation shall be provided an exact copy of any written
statement (s)he has signed and a verbatim transcript of any interview of such
employee.
18.5 Interviewing Procedures - Interviews shall be held at a reasonable hour and preferably
when the employee to be interviewed is on duty unless the exigencies of the interview
indicate otherwise. Whenever pOSSIble, interviews shall be scheduled during the normal
work day of the City. Interviewing shall be completed within a reasonable time and shall be
accomplished under circumstances devoid of intimation or coercion. The employee being
interviewed shall be entitled to such intermissions as (s)he shall request for personal
necessities, meals, telephone calls, and rest periods. All interviewing shall be limited to the
conduct or acts of the employee under investigation which form or may form the basis for
disciplinary action, termination of employment or the filing of a criminal charge.
18.6 Intimidation of Employee Prohibited - No employee under investigation shall, as a guise
for obtaining such employee's resignation, be falsely threatened with dismissal or other
disciplinary action should (s)he refuse to resign, nor shall (s)he be subjected to abusive
language or in any other manner intimated or offered promises or reward as an inducement
to answer questions.
ARTICLE 19.......... MANAGEMENT CERTIFICATIONS
19.1 An employee who currently holds or obtains management certifications through
the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission will receive additional
compensation for each certification as listed below:

Certification, then the certification compensation will again apply for those receiving
Executive Certification.

. Total tax on both gas and diesel in Washington State is 54.4~ /gal (State
portion 37.5~, FederaI18.4~)
. Washington State Cities get only 2.96 ~ or only 5.4%) of the total fuel taxes
collected in our state and 7.9% of State fuel Taxes. Over 600/0 of our citizens
live in Cities
. Gas taxes are a fixed amount, independent of the overall cost of fuel. State tax
is 37 .5~ whether gas is selling for $1.75 or $4.50 per gallon. As gas prices
climb and demand lessens gas tax revenue actually declines. Most people
assume the opposite
. The city received $583,000 in gas tax revenue in 2008 which covers only 20%
of our street budget

BOARD OF HEALTH
RESOLUTION 2008-11
Resolution in Support of Public Health Financing
WHEREAS, it is a responsibility of Kitsap County government to provide public health services to the
residents of Kitsap County, as well as the workers and visitors that enter the county each day; and
WHEREAS, state law vests in the Kitsap County Board of Health oversight of all matters pertaining to
the preservation of the life and health of the people of Kitsap County, including the adoption of
countywide public health policies and the enactment and enforcement of local public health regulations;
and
WHEREAS, public health functions provided by the Kitsap County Health District protect, promote,
and provide for the health of the public everyday; and
WHEREAS, over the past century, public health functions have led to remarkable gains in health that
have significantly increased longevity and improved quality of life, including accomplishments such as:
safe food and water dramatically reducing illness and deaths; fluoridation of water reducing tooth decay
and tooth loss; population-wide vaccination programs eradicating smallpox worldwide and making
other once-common diseases rare; and better hygiene, nutrition, antibiotics, and access to health care,
contributing to a ninety percent decrease in infant mortality and a ninety-nine percent decrease in
maternal mortality since 1900, nationwide; and
WHEREAS, over the past decade, federal and state revenues that support public health, such as the state
Motor Vehicle Excise Tax, have been eliminated,limited, or reduced, thus requiring increases in the
level of local government resources for public services; and
WHEREAS, increases in county general fund contributions, and municipal government contributions, to
public health are not sustainable over the long term; and
WHEREAS, in a study on county financial health, the Washington State Department of Community,
Trade and Economic Development found that all counties across the state are fiscally distressed; and
WHEREAS, the Washington State Legislature's 4410 Joint Selection Committee concluded that the
Washington State public health system is under-funded by more than $600 million each biennium and
that the need for additional funding for local public health jurisdictions statewide is critical; and
WHEREAS, 4410 Joint Select Committee concluded that funding for public health must be a joint
responsibility of the state and local jurisdictions; and
WHEREAS, counties have limited local authority to provide for adequate funding for public health and
WHEREAS, by 2010, the Health District will have exhausted all options to prevent major cuts in public
health services including shifting discretionary state and local funding out of environmental health
services into other services and covering that shift by raising environmental health fees; maximizing the
billing of Medicaid Administrative Match revenues; using Federal emergency preparedness dollars to
shore up core communicable disease control efforts; cutting staff, supplies, consolidating services, and
reducing overhead costs; and tapping out available reserve funds.

of services they support, in lieu of reductions in services.

8. The Board of Health requests that the District consider possible revenue enhancements and
propose for the Board's consideration reasonable fees and fee increases that fully pay for the cost
of services they support, in lieu of reductions in services.
APPROVED: November 4, 2008.

RE: REQUEST FOR SUPPORT, INCLUDING SUPPORT FOR GOVERNOR'S BUDGET AND
HB 1820
Dear Senator Rockefeller:
The public health system needs your continued support. Local public health jurisdictions in
Washington State have already lost $32.7 million of funding needed to maintain existing
services, and many key programs that impact your constituents are being cut. In Kitsap
County, we have lost 18% of our staff (23 FTE) since 2005 and we expect further reductions by
the end of 2009. In short, we cannot sustain additional cuts and still protect the public's health.
Local public health respectfully requests your support for the following:
1. Governor's public health budget. The Governor and the Secretary of Health have
protected the most critical flexible funding to local public health essential to keeping our
system up and running until there are better economic times.
2. Additional local option revenues for counties. Our counties' fiscal health is in jeopardy.
If public health is truly going to be a state and local partnership, locals must have
revenue options that only the Legislature can authorize.
3. A stable, dedicated, state funding source for local public health as soon as realistically
possible. Such a stable, dedicated, state funding source is necessary simply to maintain
the public health system which our communities count on to work every hour of every
day. The Legislature's Joint Select Committee on Public Health Finance recognized this
critical priority back in 2006.
4. HB 1820. HB 1820 provides the essential framework to see the public health system into
the future during these extraordinarily difficult economic times. Public health is
working with the prime sponsor, Representative Jim Moeller, to fine tune aspects of this
bill.
The Kitsap County Board of Health continues to support public health even in these hard
economic times. For your reference, you will find enclosed "Resolution 2008-11: Resolution in
Support of Public Health Financing" passed by the Kitsap County Board of Health on
November 4, 2008. This resolution calls for "adequate, stable, dedicated, long-term financing
for local public health."

. Gas taxes are a fixed amount, independent of the overall cost of fuel. State tax
is 37.5~ whether gas is selling for $1.75 or $4.50 per gallon. As gas prices
climb and demand lessens gas tax revenue actually declines. Most people
assume the opposite

changes for Bremerton if they are adopted.

Subject: TBD-Legislative FYI HB 1591-and a little help, soon, please.
Greetings,
AWC has introduced HB 1591 (companion to follow in the Senate) Rep. Upthegrove is the prime sponsor.
It does 3 things:
1) Clarifies that city/county transportation programs/projects are eligible under a TBD (instead of by
reference to a state/regional plan-many of you within in the Puget Sound Regional Council have been
seeking this clarification.
2) Clarifies and enables latecomer fees
3) Allows the voter approved sales tax authority to extend beyond 10 years for bonding purposes.
Once this is scheduled and ready for "executive session" or passage from the house transp committee, I will be
asking your support in contacting your legislators-your cities line up nicely with many of the members on the
committee.

Subject: Citizen Comment - $20 car-tab fee
Feb 3, 2009
Dear Mayor Bozeman,
I would like to respond to the recent article in the Kitsap Sun regarding a proposed car-tab fee for Bremerton.
I have lived in Bremerton for four years and find this an amazingly beautiful location, with wonderful places to
live and play and show-off to visitors. Even now during this challenging development stage. But it is apparent
that something needs to be done about the deteriorating conditions of roads and sidewalks.
Given the constraints of the current budget, it seems that the $20 car-tab fee proposal is a {{no brainer" solution
- a realistic, reasonable, and fair way to fund street improvements in Bremerton. Even during this terrifyingly
difficult financial time.
No one wants to pay more for anything right now. But people in Washington have enjoyed unrealistically low
car-tab fees for eight or nine years with detrimental consequences. To delay or perhaps not even act at all would
be irresponsible, and the cost of repairs will undoubtedly continue to climb. I want you to know that I
enthusiastically support a $20 car-tab fee as an excellent start to funding street improvements.
/
Thank you for your outstanding service, and for the Council's outstanding service, to Bremerton, and for
creative, resourceful leadership that keeps finding ways to make Bremerton even better.

Dear City Council:
I'm all for establishing a transportation benefit district, and then adding a vehicle license fee
for improvements. I fear the Bremerton electorate will not vote to tax itself no matte'r how
much we need/would benefit from whatever it is that's being proposed. (Look what happened
withe library and parks!) You Council members have been elected to look to the future and
keep the present running, we need street and sidewalk repairs/improvements, so please,
create the TBD!

We just want to let you know that we are opposed to a proposed ordinance to create a new
chapter in the Bremerton Municipal Code (BMC) entitled "Transportation Benefit District"; and
creating the Bremerton Transportation Benefit District, especially if that ordinance leads to
increased fees associated with license plates and/or car registrations.
We are already weary of supporting Kitsap Transit and their stranglehold on the good citizens
of Bremerton via their control of traffic lights. We who live down Marine Drive have not
benefited at all from Kitsap Transit as they quit running buses here years ago. And we sure
don't see any benefit to us that could possibly come from increased license tab fees. During
the recent snow storm we we left icy and snowy, without so much as a bit of sand for the
critical days. Then, the day after Marine Drive was finally sanded, the snow plows, who had
been ??? prior to that, showed up and plowed up the snow AND the sand into a nearly
impassable mess. Of course, since no buses run down here, who cares, eh?!?
Dave and Liz DuBois
P.S....nice touch on the city's web site to have NO way to directly contact the city council
members. Must be part of the open government plan?!?

Ms. Carol Arends
Bremerton City Council Representative District 7
Ms. Arends,
I sincerely hope that you oppose the Councils' proposed $20 increase in vehicle license fees.
Not only is the economic environment in a state not seen since "the great depression" but the
people of the State have voted overwhelmingly in opposition to increases. To vote in favor of
this measure goes in direct opposition to the will of the people and in fact places the Council in
the position of not representing the people who elected them. If my memory serves, we once
fought a war because of "taxation without representation". The fact that the State permit's the
imposition of "fees" without vote by the people does not absolve elected officials from heeding
the position the people have previously expressed. I am certain that I am not the only person
to voice opposition to this matter nor am I the only person aware that five of the nine City
Council members are up for reelection in 2009.
It's interesting to note that my property tax statement shows that all assessments decreased
this year except City tax and school levy. City tax increased by $21.52 while thH rest (less
schools) decreased by $19.02 and my property value decreased by $7,020. And now the City
wants even more? I would suggest that the City needs to reexamine priorities. The
beautification and "nice to have" projects that the City seems so fond of should give way to the
basic necessities.
A question. Do you ever drive through our District, just to check traffic flow/regulation or to note
the number of vacant residences or just the overall condition of the District or, as a test,
attempt to access a City service without use of your title? You should. .

Mr. Roy Runyun
Bremerton City Council
District 4
This letter is to drastically oppose the car tab increase for sidewalks
and paving projects.
Mr. Runyon due to the economic down turn that we are all facing
myself and many others just can't afford another increase of any kind.
I work with a' group of what used to be known as middle class income,
but now are just a group of struggling folk's labeled low income.
People on a fixed income such as Social Security, the elderly and the
folks who are caught up in downsizing have to chose between heat,
groceries, medication or a roof over their heads. These people who
own cars see them as the little freedom that they have.
The increase of car tabs for paving and sidewalks is being brought up
at the worst possible time of all. I also have a feeling that most of the
money will be used in the downtown core and many of the people like
in District 2 will not see any improvement in those badly needed
neighborhoods.
We ask you to oppose this increase and PLEASE work with your
fellow council members to convince them THS IS NOT THE TIME.
We just don't have any more to give.
Thank you lor your time in this matter.
Sincerely
Bob Purschwitz
District 4 tenant.

We should all be reminded that this is NOT an increase in the car tab fee. All money from the car tab fee ($30)
goes to the state. We will be forming a Transportation Benefit District that will contract with the Department of
Licensing to act as our collection agent.
There is a phone conference today (Monday, December 15, 2008, at 1 :00 PM) with DOL and other cities
interested in forming a TBD. The phone con will be in the council conference room.

Will,
Thank you for your response.
You asked, do we send the Higher License Tab Fee to a vote where we will have a small chance of it
passing, or does the Council use our authority to levy up to $20 per car without a vote.
First, I see our Council should not use its authority to levy up to $20 per car without a vote by our
people, voters and taxpayers (i.e., without consent of the governed).
Second, I see our Council should ask, what are the priorities of our City government.
Third, I see those priorities are first, police protection services; second, fire protection services; third,
water services; fourth, sewer services; fifth, animal control services; sixth, repair street
services; seventh, repave street services; et cetera.
In other words, our Council is not to ask for more money to pay for sixth and
seventh priorities, while budgeting for and funding lesser priorities.
Again, thanks your for response.
Sincerely,
Gene

Subject: RE: Citizen Comment - Higher License Tab Fee
Gene,
Since the legislature eliminated the MVET in a post-695 frenzy to keep their jobs, the City has tried everything to
find a substitute funding source to repair and repave our streets. We now transfer money from the general fund,
use revenue from our parking system, use Real Estate Excise Tax, and our crews make money by doing work for
other cities and the county.
Paving is very expensive and has gotten much more so recently. With the downturn in the economy, we can no
longer squeeze money from those other funds. This year, we can only fix potholes; no major overlays.
Up to this time, the Council has not had the courage to levy a car tab fee without a vote of the peole. We also
have not seen a good time to send it to a vote. We did not want to interfere with the EMS levy.
Now, the question is, do we send it to a vote where we will have a small chance of it passing, or does the Council
use our authority to levy up to $20 per car without a vote?
The proposal we are going to discuss in January is a $20 fee with a three year sunset and $5 goes for sidewalks.
What do you think?
Thanks, Will Maupin

Here is the answer to the question about collection fees associated with the Transportation Benefit District.
The department of licensing shall administer and collect the fee. The department shall deduct a percentage amount, as
provided by contract, not to exceed one percent of the fees collected, for administration and collection expenses incurred by it.
The department shall remit remaining proceeds to the custody of the state treasurer. The state treasurer shall distribute the
proceeds to the district on a monthly basis.
That said, there also turns out to be a one time set up charge by contract. The first in will pay the bulk of the cost and then its
incremental for the additional entrants.
We are not the first. Olympia, Edmonds, Lake Forest Park and Des Moines are in front of us. DOL is trying to schedule a
meeting next week with the four previous cities and myself to see about sharing the cost.
More as I learn additional information.
Questions??

City Council
Bremerton, W A 98337
Dear Cecil McConnell et alia,
Thank you for continuing to serve the interests of our people, voters and taxpayers in the City of
Bremerton.
Today I read a report "Higher License Tab Fees Seen as Way to Keep Streets Paved", on Page A3 in the
December 10, 2008 issue of the Kitsap Sun. According to that report, you will vote "yes" to put a
"Higher License Tab Fee" measure on the ballot for the public's vote, if such a measure is brought up for
Council vote. Or you will vote "no" if a measure to vote on raising that fee unilaterally, without the
public's vote, is brought up for Council vote.
I agree, we should have a plan to fix our streets and sidewalks, especially for safety of our school
children walking to school. Essentially, that was my point ten years ago when I testified before our
Council.
Meanwhile, during those ten years and for a variety of reasons, our Mayors and Councils have chosen to
fund other budget line items, placing them as higher priority than a plan for safety -- for streets and
sidewalks.
In short, I would like to thank you for highlighting that it's up to our leaders to listen and heed our
people, voters and taxpayers, to govern with our consent; not without it, not unilaterally.
Sincerely,
Gene

I believe that city already charges enough in taxes and services that another $40 a year is not necessary. The
