Wednesday, October 24, 2018
A Study Session of the City Council of the City of Bremerton was called to order in the Council
Conference Room of the NOW DICKs GOVERNMENT CENTER, 345 6th Street, Bremerton, Washington,
Wednesday, October 24, 2018, at 5:00 PM, with Council President Eric Younger presiding. Council
Members present were Richard Huddy, Michael Goodnow, Tony Hillman, Kevin Gorman, Leslie Daugs,
and Pat Sullivan. Lori Smith, Legislative Office Manager, was present to provide staff support.
President Younger emphasized that the Study Session is open to the public, but there will be no
opportunities for input or participation; no action is anticipated except when deemed appropriate; and
the content of these items is subject to change. If approved by the Council, items will be placed on
the November 7, 2018 City Council Meeting Agenda.
A. LIMITED PRESENTATION PLANNED —The following items are budgeted items or subjects that
have been raised with the appropriate Council Committee Members:
1. Confirm Reappointment of Benjamin Burnette to the Parks & Recreation Commission
Consent Agenda
2. Update on Grant Applications with the State of Washington Department of Ecology for the
"Aquatic Weeds Management Fund" and "Freshwater Algae Program" for Kitsap Lake
Information Only
3. Salary Surveys and Recommendations for Parks Service Specialist, Street Service
Specialist; and Legal Technician; and related Budget Amendment Consent Agenda
4. CLARIFICATION OF SECTION 9.1 OF THE AGREEMENT WITH WASTE MANAGEMENT
OF WASHINGTON, INC. RELATING TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE FEE: City Engineer Tom
Knuckey explained that the Agreement with Waste Management passed by the City Council
on October 17, 2018 included the following language in Section 9.1: "The Administrative Fee
shall be used by the City for costs the City has identified from solid waste services, including
costs for contract administration, solid waste planning and management, and street
preservation and maintenance." This language was added to Section 9.1 in error, and staff
believe it should not be included in a 10 -year contract with a service provider since
expenditures from the General Fund are an internal policy matter. Currently and historically
the administrative fee is directed to the General Fund, and not associated with a specific
activity. To correct this error, staff propose to strike the last paragraph in Section 9.1 in the
final version of the agreement to be executed.
There were no questions or comments from the public...
05:22:00 M/S/C/U (Sullivan/Huddy) Move to remove the last paragraph in Section 9.1 of the
Agreement with Waste Management relating to the expenditure of the Administrative Fee.
