Speed humps are a traffic calming method,.to�improve safety for all roadway users; reduce cut-through' traffic on neighborliood streets, and encourage vehicular traffic to•�d�ive more slowly without•.., significantly impacting convenience, mobility,�and�travel time�for drivers. 7he�disadvantages to speed humps are slowed response,time for emergency vehicles, possible diversion of traffic to parallel.residential streets,,and possible increased"noise and pollution for residents direcfly adjacent to'the�i\allation. �•� � ..,\ ...., POLICY All streets to`be'�..evaluated`w\ have.�pe�fic limits identified to define a �segment of street, 'These limits will;be logica.l features that separate portions �of a�st;eet, such as.,adjacent cr"oss.streets, major driveway entrances, changes ��in land`use, or histo'ric�bouridaries.�The'process to evaluate street segments �f�possible�speed hump installation can be initiated in two ways: /_`\ � / ----�\\ .. •. --- �/ \• � � � �INITIATION \\\� "l \\ •�� \ A. �A petition signed by 70% of the residents abutting the street segment for which the request is being made. The petition will be � �\ submitted to the Public Works and Utilities Department, \ '� Engineering Division. � B. A request by the City's Public Works Committee. � The,City Engineer will perform an initial review of the request to evaluate whether the street segment meets the minimum requirements outlined below. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR SPEED HUMP INSTALLATION To be considered for speed humps, the street must meet the following minimum requirements: Page 1 of 3 A. The traffic volumes (ADT)are between 200-2000. B. A study indicates that the 85th percentile speed is�-at least 5 mph over the posted speed limit. �"^..'a �"^ 4�*'� � ��:'^ '�^ �^•..,^^^ � ��e '-�-n,^��er t�c.��e� �pee� {imi�, � '�� fe�s�ed. o..ti�;,. ��,,.��C��w�it�ee ..:u ,.�a:...,...,.,,.,,. ___.__. �^��^�a�: Should the 85`h percentile speed be less than 5 mph over the posted speed limit, •�•^�••^•� �^^..^�*� ..,;" ��'., `�^ ^^^•^.,^a :F unusual circumstances must beafe demonstrated.

Other factors unique to the street, such as lack of sidewalks, or if the street is part of a designated bicycle route.

Cathy Johnson, Director of Financial Services and Mike Riley, Asst. Director of Financial Services. Topics Discussed: • Minutes of May 17, 2016 meeting Minutes were approved as presented • Main Firewall Upgrade Contract with Trebron is being presented to the City Council for approval. Contract is for an upgrade to our main firewall (threat management). Cost for the three year contract is approximately $11,000 more than the prior three year contract. Annual increases can be absorbed within the IT budget. Discussion followed as to the cost associated with other products and Kevin Matthew, IT Manager, explained that the City standard has been the Sophos product and it is recognized as the industry leader for entities our size. Any change to a new product would create additional staff work to install software on 320 work stations which would significantly offset any cost savings. • Status of Grant Applications Chal Martin reviewed the status of existing transportation grants and those that have been applied for or applications are yet to be submitted. • 2015 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report , Cathy Johnson and Mike Riley shared the news that the City's 2015 Annual Report was filed with the WA State Auditor's Office on May 29, the filing deadline. A copy of the basic financial statements was provided to the committee and was briefly reviewed. Additionally the committee members were provided a copy of the GASB publication on the top 25 mistakes made by financial statement readers. It was decided that the members would digest the information provided before the next meeting and any questions would be addressed at the meeting. • Investment Report Mike Riley shared information regarding the most recent investment trade on June 15. Interest yield on the new investment of 1.25% replaced another agency investment that returned .75%. He also noted that the timing couldn't have worked out better as returns declined significantly following the BREXIT vote. !� � � �I � , , f `' j I�- _ -- - - - 1 , � , , �-�-i---�_#..._... � � CITY COUNCIL 345 6th Street, Suite 600, Bremerton, WA 98337 ❑ Phone (360)473-5280 2016 City Council Goals Estab/ished at the Joint Planning Session on January 30, 2016 1) Performance Audit/Review of Fire Department (PSP Committee) 2) Social Media and Increase Public Outreach • City of Breme�ton Facebook Page (Council President and Council Staf� • "Move to Bremerton" Cempa►gn (Mayor Lent with input from Council) 3) Repair City Roads/Sidewalks Maintenance and Funding (Public Works and Finance Committees) 4) Economic Development (Entire Council) • Focus on Growing Sales Tax Revenues • Reach out to Existing Business Owners for their Suggestions 5) Improve Financial Sustainability of City Parks • Performance Audit/Review of Parks Department (PSP Committee) • Funding/Sustainable Business Model (Finance Committee) 6) Medical Care Services Succession Plan (Mayor�ent with input from Counci�) 7) Annexltion (Enfire Council) R:\City Council\GOALS& RETREATS\2016 Goals.docx ,
