To: City Council Members
From: Fire Chief Pat McGanney
Subject: Sole source purchase
I am requesting the City Council authorize the purchase of two (2) new paramedic
ambulances and remount/refurbish of one (1) paramedic ambulance North Star module
by Braun NW, Inc. the sole source provision. I believe there are several reasons for
using the sole source provision.
The Fire Department has purchased brand new ambulances from Braun NW for many
years. This year the fire department has come to the conclusion that this is a cost
effective way to extend the life of one of our vechicles. The other two vehicles that we
are requesting to replace have already been remounted/refurbished, the patient care
boxes are at their end of life and would not be cost effective to refurbish. In doing so,
Braun NW is the original builder and has the specifications of the vehicle and intimate
knowledge of each vehicle, where an outside vendor would have to start from the
beginning.
Additionally, the Fire Department will be able to keep the entire fleet of ambulance
under one provider and making repairs and inventory of parts the same. T he training
and operation of the vehicles systems would be very similar thus cutting down on
training and familiarity of the equipment.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

6. Additional Public Involvement efforts:
a. Increased level of effort for stakeholder and public outreach events resulting from the additional
project alternatives.
b. Add one (1) additional in-person stakeholder meeting
c. Revise one (1) of the community open house events to be in-person instead of virtual
7. Extension of the project duration through February 2023. Management Reserve Request #1 extended
the project duration through October 2022, therefore this amendment will add four (4) additional
months.
This contract amendment will also cover costs already incurred for the following tasks. Note that the schedule
impacts on additional project management effort was previously addressed in Management Reserve Request #1
(June 2022).
1.Project Website and Stakeholder Survey Launch: The website launch and stakeholder survey were
scheduled to be completed in September 2021, but were delayed until January/February 2022 due to
extended City review and scheduling conflicts. The additional effort associated with additional reviews
and updates to the deliverables is included.
2.Stakeholder Survey Review: the stakeholder survey was shared by members of the project stakeholder
group with the general public. This resulted in approximately 700 additional responses beyond the 30
(or so) anticipated. There was a delay of approximately two months in the project schedule while this
data was processed, and the team determined how to proceed. This concluded with the hosting of an
additional stakeholder meeting to receive their direction for how to proceed.
All assumptions and deliverables included in the original scope of work shall still apply, unless modified herein.

Guiding Principles
•Must follow existing statutes, ordinances and
resolutions until amended
•City Council has only those powers specifically
granted by statute and your Charter
The “public’s work”
must be done in
public:
Meetings
Record
Wearing Someone
Else’s Clothes
•The impact of long-term planning,
multiyear labor agreements,
required public hearings and
public processes and the budget
create enormous systemic inertia
•Your first year in office is a
difficult time as you balance your
campaign promises and
expectations while honoring the
work of the public and prior
Councils
City Council
Power and Authority

accord with City Council rules and cast a vote
Outside of the meeting context, individual City

•In Washington, City
Councils have the right to
write and adopt their own
rules of process and
procedure
Guiding Principles

•The Chair of the meeting
(Council President) is
responsible to enforce
those rules
The City Council’s
Most Important Functions
Adopting Policy
•Use ideas from a variety of sources: staff, community
groups, advisory committees, chambers of commerce, etc.
•Consider the merits of proposals and then approve, modify
or reject them
•In doing so, Council Members
analyze community needs,
program alternatives, and
available resources
•The budget and comprehensive
plan are powerful policy tools
that are adopted by ordinance
Responding to
Constituent Complaints
1.Residents often contact a
Council Member when they
have a problem
2.Keep in mind that you lack
the authority to take action
in administrative matters.
Be careful not to appear to
bind the City—no promises!
3.Council Rule of Procedure
9.6 provides clear path for
the consideration of
complaints
City Manager
Interference by Councilmembers
RCW 35A.13.120
The provisions of this section do not prohibit the council,while
in open session,from fully and freely discussing with the city
manager anything pertaining to appointments and removals of
city officers and employees and city affairs.
Neither the council, nor any of its committees or members,
shall direct the appointment of any person to, or his or her
removal from, office by the city manager or any of his or her
subordinates.
Except for the purpose of inquiry,the council and its members
shall deal with the administrative service solely through the
manager and neither the council nor any committee or
member thereof shall give orders to any subordinate of the
city manager,either publicly or privately.

Council Resources
•Bremerton’s Charter authorizes the City
Council to direct and control your
Legislative Office Manager and Assistant
•City Council by vote, through your
Council President or by Rule controls
access to these resources and to the
agenda
•In practice your Legislative Office
manager and assistant have a full plate
Follow your rules, or if greater resources
are needed consider changes to the Rules
or additional budgeting
Individual
Councilmembers
Honor the “No Surprise Rule.”
The Association of
Washington Cities (AWC)
and the Municipal Resources
and Services Center (MRSC)
provide resources for
individual councilmembers
who wish to pursue items
outside of the Council’s
agenda as a whole
BUT keep your city attorney and
administration in the loop.
Building Trust

FOR
OUR
DISCUSSION
City Council
Right of Inquiry
Striking an Appropriate Balance
•Obtaining necessary information
without impairing established
priorities and within budget
•Follow path set by Mayor
•Do not approach line employees
directly
•Use Council resources as available
•Use AWC and MRSC resources
Potential Impacts
of Intervention
Within a Hearing Examiner System,
primarily limited to Site Specific
Rezones and Development
Agreement Consideration
Council member must reveal communications
with potential for recusal from participation
Appearance of
Fairness Doctrine:
•Applies broadly to elected
officials, appointed
municipal officers, and
potentially family members
•May not have a financial
interest in the contract
approved
•May not use position to
secure special privileges
for the officer or others
Conflict of Interest
Conflict of Interest
•No gifts or compensation
for a matter connected
with service unless
permitted by law
•No disclosure of
confidential information
•Fine and Forfeiture of
Office under Chapter
42.23 RCW
among the reasons
Mayors limit access
to staff is to avoid
the appearance of
impropriety
power imbalance makes it difficult
for employees to say “no”
Appearance of Impropriety
Appearance of Impropriety
Some cities have adopted codes of ethics to avoid the
Appearance of Impropriety.
Council contacts can
create the appearance
that Councilmembers are
pressuring or lobbying
staff on behalf of a citizen
—be it a neighborhood
activist, or a developer.
FOR YOUR DISCUSSION
How best to clarify the dissonance
between Council Rules regarding a
Councilmember’s ability to add item’s to
the agenda and Robert’s Rules limitations
on reconsideration
RULE 4.1
•“Consideration of any subject matter, or
communication by the Council may be initiated by the
Mayor or any Council Member.”
•“The Council President may reject any agenda item
not complying with this procedure.”
WHAT about Robert’s limitations on reconsideration?
WHERE on the agenda?
HOW should time be assigned?
WHEN: which agenda?
