2011 rtf
I am attaching my statment addressing tonight's agenda. That is the first

before the Council on 5/4/11 on a related Issue.
Thank you for your attention.
Doris A. Carender
11/16/2011
November 16, 2011
Statement of Doris Armijo Carender to the Bremerton City Council
and to Mayor Patty Lent on Revenue Sources for the 2012 Budget and
Ordinance 5168, levying Property Taxes for collection in 2012.
Mayor and Council Members: I had planned to attend tonight's
meeting but, due to sneezing and coughing from a cold, am submitting
a written statement instead.
In May of this year, I gave a statement at the Council meeting asking
that the Council reconsider accepting the TIB grant for the
reconstruction of Lower Wheaton Way from Lebo Boulevard to the
Manette Bridge. I gave very solid reasons for doing so. Of course, the
Council basically scoffed and voted to accept it. To refresh your
memory, I will attach a copy by email.
The City is proposing an increase in the regular property tax levy for
2012 in the amount of $63,747 which is a percentage increase of one
percent (1.0 %) from the previous year's actual levy... This one
percent increase in property taxes happens like clock work each year.
When inflation allows the one percent increase, it is taken; when there
is insufficient inflation to allow it, the City of Bremerton declares
"Substantial Need" and takes it. Oddly, the City of Port Orchard
Council voted NOT to impose the increase on the 2010 property tax
levy. Bremerton never does this which leads this Bremerton resident
to the opinion that Bremerton City mothers and fathers are Big
Spenders who view this as their automatic entitlement.
The argument that one percent increase, spread throughout the
Bremerton property owners, is negligible is a specious one. For one
thing the increases add up plus there are other levies that are voter
increases. In 2011, our property taxes increased while the value of
our property decreased by $60,860. Our property value is decreased
for 2012 by another $19,500 to below the value of the property when
we bought it in 2003. Yet today we are paying only $5.56 less in
annual taxes than we were in 2008 at its peak value. Not only that,
but by increasing the PILOT rates for utility providers, you are again
setting the stage for a utility rate increase for consumers.
The Council and Mayor's office (bureaucracy) justify this based on
needing the increases to meet essential funtions fo the city. The City
Council and Mayor should have been concerned about meeting
essential functions back when it was aggressively pursuing grants and
then having to scrape up the matching funds. The Lower Wheaton
Way reconstuction project alone cost $342,000 in matching funds.
The $2.6 million grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce EDA on
December 1, 2010, for use in funding the parking garage to be built
under the corner of Fourth Street and Park Avenue required $2.6
million in matching City funds. This was clarified at a Finance
Committee meeting on 2/22/2011. Apparently, the City accepted the
grant in December 2010 without knowing how much it had to match
unlike the Port of Bremerton which reconsidered and turned down the
grant because of the matching fund requirement.
When I addressed the Council back in May about the Lower Wheaton
Way project, the Councilman from my district, Mr. Adam "Big Spender"
Brockus, briefly argued that it was necessary because of the flood that
had washed out the slope on old Wheaton Way downhill from the
YMCA building. If that is part of the justification for taking the Lower
Wheaton Way grant money, then Council, you have been taken in. In
September 2010, the City already had that area engineered,
excavated, wire cages supporting crushed rock installed, the culvert
repaired and new asphalt applied at the cost of $224,635. The new
project is not about an immediate and essential City function. What
the new project is all about is the City Comprehensive Plan which
accurately reflects the recommendations for urban growth patterns
and social engineering toward use of non - motorized traffic encouraged
in the Growth Management Act which is the result of UN Agenda 21.
So we spend our resources on these items and then have to once
again pick the pockets of taxpayers. ,
Not only that, but apparently our unusually large Public Works
Engineering staff (see the Prothman Report) cannot keep us from
making $7500 mistakes such as computer modeling of the Manette
Bridge roundabout which had to be enlarged to accommodate buses.
As a matter of fact, even after the enlargement, we were behind a bus
on the roundabout and saw it had to go over the curb and looked like
it was leaning in as it made its way around the roundabout. Not good.
Also, the Council was surprised again by a $75,000 bill it had to pay to
the State for work on the Manette bridge. It was not money that the
Council had approved a pnori. So, we the property owners of
Bremerton, will be touched once more so that the City can meet carry
out its essential functions.
What we need is more careful govenment rather than visionary
government that imagines all the wonderful things that will result from
"investing" money now without showing any inclination to take care of
essentials first and non- priorities as possible.
This applies to Mayor Lent and her bureacracy as well as to the City
Council.
Statement to Bremerton City Council against spending $342,051 on matching
City funds for a street project by Doris Carender, 5/4/2011
Council Members and Mayor Lent, thank you for this opportunity to bring a
concern to your attention I am addressing Items on the Consent Agenda to
amend the 2011 Budget Funds 101, 481 and 131 as they pertain to the Lower
Wheaton Way Reconstruction
Back in November 2010, our "industrious" city administration was notified by the
Washington State Transportation Improvement Board that the Lower Weaton
Way project was selected to receive a grant of $1,368,084 The city must match
the grant with $342,051 You are being asked to make budget fund adjustments
so that $237,271 toward the match will come from the Arterial Street Fund and
$104,780 will com from Fund 481 - Stormwater When you are accustomed to
dealing in millions of taxpayer dollars, these amounts may seem quite small
However, the principle of handling other people's money as a fiduciary trust is
NOT trivial And this is what I wish to address
In the past few months during which I have attended some council general
meetings, some committee meetings and read the document packets online, I
have had the sense that this Council is constantly being asked by City
Administrators to approve this expenditure, that acquisition, and yet another
commitment of public monies and that the Council rarely asks two questions "Is
this an essential function for City government ?" and "Do we have enough money
in the budget NOW to afford this ?" This seems especially true when a federal or
state grant of money is in the offing our City government appears loathe to say
"No, thank you "
I thought perhaps this was dust me being small minded until I read the 2010
report by Prothman Co of Bellevue, a management consulting firm hired by
Bremerton to do a full review of operations One of their findings was that the
City has been very successful at obtaining grants for capital projects but lacked
adequate fiscal analysis for providing matching funds and for the subsequent
maintenance and operational costs of these projects I quote from that report
"Financial decisions are being made without analysis to determine what the
short-term and long -term impacts on the budget are Construction projects are
approved and grants are accepted without the kind of cost/benefit analysis that is
necessary to understand the potential impact to other City Services "
I notice that the Council has before it tonight Resolution No 3141 to update
procedures for approval and allocation of intergovernmental grants to "insure that
any potential match is identified prior to making application for the grant to
prevent expending resources in pursuit of the grant if the City's budget cannot
accommodate the match " I applaud you for taking this corrective action
However, the Prothman report was received in early 2010, the grant for the
Lower Wheaton Way project was applied for in 2010 and only now, May 2011, is
the City taking this needed action
In order to find enough matching funds for the Lower Wheaton Way project, you
are taking $104,780 from Enterprise Fund 481 - Stormwater I know your
documents point out that the amount is based on the percentage of the project
that your engineers have designated as stormwater related But is it an essential
and necessary expenditure? Is there a clamor from residents for new sidewalks,
curbs and gutters and porous pavement in the area? How many houses and
businesses are on this portion of the street? Is there a clamor for non - motorized
transportation, i e bicycles? Is there a safety hazard to correct? The answer to
both of the last questions is frankly "No" as you point out in your own documents
If we had a surplus of money, there would be no problem However, we don't
have a surplus You have had to cut the 2011 budget due to shortages of
revenues
If we had a surplus, I don't think we would be raising Utility Rates, but we have
done so And we are studying the need for additional raises in 2012 In 2009,
the Council approved a resolution declaring a substantial need so the city could
increase total property tax collections by a full percentage point and the Council
also considered raising Utility Rates Then newly elected Mayor Lent opposed
raising Utlity Rates In December 2010, the Council raised Water and
Stormwater Rates by 2% "until the city gets a firmer grasp on how much rates
might need to go up to handle future capital needs " Public Works is supposed
to have launched a study early this year to determine the need for additional
Utility Rate increases m 2012
1 will be very surprised if that Dept recommends against such an increase
because the Prothman Report also found that "The Public Works Department
has an unusually large Engineering staff when compared to cities of comparable
size providing similar public works services with 22 FTEs"
When you have an overabundance of talent, such as engineering talent, on the
payroll, they are going to be looking for work to do The inertia will
understandably be toward looking for new grants and new projects The impetus
is directly opposite an urge for frugality
I urge the Council and the Mayor and her Administration to take another look at
the Prothman Report, consider whether Bremerton can really afford the size of its
in house Engineering staff right now and whether you really want to keep coming
to citizens with increases in their Utility Rates and ther property taxes when the
value of their property is sliding down and unemployment stays up Thank you

Subject RE November 16 - City Council Meeting
It should be no secret that I oppose the basic premise of this budget, that we lay off people and stop
fixing utility systems, transfer utility money to other funds and make the rate payers pay the price in the
future
I think we should lower PILOT, retain enterprise fund employees, and let the general fund and street
fund stand on their own Part of the strategy to retain general fund employees should be to continue
furloughs and ask for concessions

street fund An enterprise fund is supposed to be self contained with rates collected going only for maintenance
and operations A reasonable tax can be collected to support general fund activities that support all city
services Using money from the stofrmwater for street repairs will require rates to be raised in the future and is
not a sustainable funding source for streets
I will vote against the budget if it includes those provisions
