Minutes of December 8, 2009 Pa e oft The 2010 Budget does not exceed the lawful limit of taxation allowed by law to be levied on the property within the City of Port Orchard for the purposes described in the 2010 Budget, and the estimated expenditures in each fund are all necessary to carry on the government of the City for fiscal year 2010. The 2010 Budget reflects department head requests, Mayor's priorities, Finance Committee and City Council input and modifications, and public comments. Councilmember Powers discussed the funding request from BKAT, noting they wanted the Council to approve $5,000 in order to broadcast the City's regular Council meetings, which would possibly get the City to the October meetings. Further, BKAT thought the City would be able to come up with an additional $1800 to finish out the broadcast year by October of 2010. Councilmembers voiced their support to eliminate funding to BKAT in favor or posting meetings on the City's Website noting that: • The City would be able to serve more citizens from the website; • The City would be reaching a larger audience who would be able to access the meeting videos at their convenience; • There are currently more internet providers in the area and that people who reside outside of the City limits would be able to view the meetings, which they could not do with BKAT; • Listening audience would have the ability to scroll through the meeting, if they so choose.

All cities and counties under the Growth Management Act (GMA) are required to classify and designate critical areas through comprehensive planning and develop regulations to protect them. The Critical Areas Ordinance contains specific regulations to protect critical areas that include the following categories and ecosystems, wetlands, streams, geologically hazardous areas, and frequently flooded areas. Port Orchard adopted its last Critical Areas Ordinance (CAO) on December 13, 1999, through Ordinance 1784. The proposed Critical Areas Ordinance Update includes the CAO text in Port Orchard Municipal Code, Chapter 18. These proposed changes and additional definitions have been identified by staff as the required changes to bring the Port Orchard Critical Areas Ordinance into compliance with the Washington State requirements. The minor updates to the Critical Areas Ordinance code are recommend by staff to satisfy the Washington State mandate to include "Best Available Science" and provides the required updates to the Stream typing and buffers for fish bearing streams. The Port Orchard Critical Area Ordinance was reviewed and considered and with the recommended changes proposed to be within acceptable ranges of current BAS as well as provide opportunities for more site-specific protections through the requirements of specific reports on a site specific basis. Additionally, the references to the CAO process have been updated to reference the Port Orchard Hearing Examiner in decision processes. No Changes were proposed to the Shoreline elements of the CAO, as that analysis would be proposed as part of an update to the Shoreline Management Program in a separate process in 2011.

Adoption of Ordinance No. 031-09, Amending Port Orchard Municipal Code Chapter 10.66 by Updating the Established "Snow Routes" within the City of Port Orchard (Dorsey) · Public Works Director Dorsey presented the staff report, noting the annexation of McCormick Woods in July 2009, triggered the need to amend Port Orchard Municipal Code Chapter 10.66 Snow Routes more specifically Section 10.66.010, thereby updating the established "snow routes" within the City limits. On October 6, 2009, the City of Port Orchard held a Special Work Study Session at the McCormick Woods Clubhouse to discuss proposed snow routes within McCormick Woods and The Ridge. The following proposed snow routes were presented with no apparent disagreement: • Old Clifton Road from Tremont Street to Campus Parkway • McCormick Woods Drive SW from Old Clifton Road to Glenwood Road SW • Hawkstone Avenue from McCormick Woods Drive SW to north end • Marymac Drive SW from McCormick Woods Drive SW to Hawkstone Avenue • Gleneagle Avenue from McCormick Woods Drive SW to Marymac Drive SW • St. Andrews Drive from McCormick Woods Drive SW to Rutherford Circle SW • Marbellet Avenue from Old Clifton Road to SW Siskin Circle • SW Siskin Circle • Chanting Circle SW In addition to the above proposed snow routes, the Public Works Department is taking the opportunity to modify the current snow routes within the downtown area, as follows: • Dekalb Street from Mitchell Road SE to Tracy Avenue N • Tracy Avenue N from Dekalb Street to Chester Street • Chester Street from Tracy Avenue N to Farragut Avenue N • Farragut Avenue N from Chester Street to Dekalb Street Councilmember Putaansuu MOVED and Councilmember Powers seconded the motion to adopt Ordinance No. 031-09, amending Port Orchard Municipal Code Section 10.66.010 thereby updating the established "snow routes" within the City Limits.

Adoption of Ordinance No. 032-09, Transferring Capital Assets and Equipment from the Street Fund to the Storm Drainage Utility Fund Public Works Director Dorsey presenting the staff report, noting in January of 2009 the City set up their storm drainage utility and began collecting fees. During the time since the utility began, staff has been inventorying capital assets and equipment that are storm drainage related. Staff found that the Broom Bear Sweeper used for street sweeping and several miles of culverts, closed conveyance systems, drains and catch basins need to be transferred to the Storm Drainage Utility from the Street Fund. As these items were either purchased or installed using tax dollars, they may be transferred to the Storm Drainage Utility by ordinance. Councilmember Childs MOVED and Councilmember Olin seconded the motion to adopt Ordinance No. 032-09, transferring capital assets and equipment from the Street Fund to the Storm Drainage Utility. Upon vote, the motion passed unanimously. Councilmember Colebank was absent. H. Adoption of Resolution No. 117-09, Authorizing an Interlocal Agreement with the State of Washington Department of Licensing City Treasurer Martin presented the staff report, noting the purpose of this agreement is to authorize the Department of Licensing Master License Service to act as the City's agent for business licensing activities, and to ensure that the City retains its full, lawful, regulatory and approval authority over all business licensing activities within its jurisdiction. The program is authorized by Chapter 39.34 RCW. Washington's Master License Service (MLS) is an innovative effort to streamline business licensing and registration using one application, one check and one license. By partnering with the Department of Licensing the City will offer one-stop service to our business customers. The service is designed to make doing business in Washington simpler and draw even more business to the state. Licensing through MLS will allow the city staff to concentrate on important regulatory functions instead of the "paper shuffle" associated with issuing and tracking licenses. It reduces data entry and saves time by having MLS answer routine phone calls while providing a standard format and forms. MLS online service saves money for printing and mailing. Bookkeeping is simplified because appropriate fees are collected by MLS and transferred to fund accounts specified by the City. MLS will handle the process of issuing city business licenses. MLS pursues missing and required business application information and pursues insufficient payment artd NSF checks. MLS makes an electronic digital image of all documents and if a copy is needed can be made from the image and MLS will certify it. MLS can also produce "hard copies" of internet filings should the city require them. Councilmember Clauson MOVED and Councilmember Olin seconded the motion to adopt Resolution No. 117-09, authorizing the Mayor to execute an Interlocal Agreement between the State of Washington Department of Minutes of December 8, 2009 Pa e of1 Licensing and the City of Port Orchard pursuant to the authority granted by Chapter 39.34 RCW.

The purpose of this Agreement is to facilitate an orderly transition of recreational services and capital projects within the proposed annexation area of the McCormick Woods/ULID No. 6 UGA. In 1998, the County designated the McCormick Woods/ULID No. 6 as an Urban Growth Area (UGA). The Washington State Growth Management Act (Chapter 36.70A RCW) and Kitsap Countywide Planning Policies encourage cities to provide urban services to designated urban growth areas through annexation. In 2005, through Resolution No. 135-05, as authorized in RCW 36.70B.170, Kitsap County entered into a development agreement relating to open space, parks, and recreation with GEM I LLC / McCormick Land Co. for the McCormick Urban Village located within the McCormick Woods/ULID No. 6 UGA (the "2005 Parks Development Agreement"). The 2005 Parks Development Agreement addresses the construction and funding of parks, open space and recreation areas that are located within the annexation area. RCW 36.70B.190 provides that development agreements are binding upon the parties and their successors, including a city that assumes jurisdiction through annexation of the area covered by the development agreement. The purpose of this Agreement is to facilitate an orderly transition of recreational services, collected impact fees, land ownership transfer, and capital parks projects within the McCormick Woods annexation area.

On August 12, 2009, the Notice to Proceed for the 90-day contract was issued, thereby establishing a completion date of November 10, 2009. Due to unforeseen circumstances, primarily equipment related delays, approximately only 40% of the actual work will be accomplished within 2009. This is a budgeted item for 2009 within Water/Sewer with approximately 40% of the Work billed in 2009 and approximately 60% to be carried over into 2010.

Adoption of Resolution No. 120-09, Authorizing the Mayor to Execute a Contract for Animal Control Services with Kitsap Humane Society City Clerk Kirkpatrick presented the staff report, noting the proposed contract with the Kitsap Humane Society (KHS) was negotiated for five (5) years to help hold down costs. Initially, as part of the 2010 budget, the Humane Society was asking for $40,495; and in an effort to keep costs down, the City Clerk negotiated the contract to $35,515 for the first year, with subsequent year's annual contract price as noted below: 2011 $36,804.45 2012 $37,908.58 2013 $39,045.84 2014 $40,217.22 The Humane Society asked for a 3% annual increase, which was reflected above. The proposed increase is largely due to the recent annexations of McCormick Woods and Bethel Corridor as well as a rise in health care benefits and the first year of the contract amount is a part of the 2010 budget. The costs of impoundment of animals beyond 30 days due to the judicial system requiring the retention of evidence (animals), remains the same and will be paid by the City at a discounted rate of $15.00 a day plus tax per domestic animals (dogs, cats, and other small pets) and $20.00 per day per animal plus tax for livestock (horses, cows, sheep, goats, pigs, etc.) Councilmember Chang MOVED and Councilmember Powers seconded the motion to adopt Resolution No. 120-09, authorizing the Mayor to execute a five-year contract with Kitsap Humane Society in the amount of $35,515 for the first year, and each remaining four-years at a 3% increase per year as set forth the resolution with the contract commencing January 1, 2010 and ending December 31, 2014.

Adoption of Resolution No. 121-09, Authorizing the Mayor to Execute Interlocal Agreement for Purchasing Cooperative Program with State of Washington Department of General Administration, Office of Procurement City Clerk Kirkpatrick presented the staff report, noting historically, the City of Port Orchard has been a participating member of the State's Purchasing Cooperative. This Interlocal Agreement allows the City to piggyback onto State contracts for the purchase or lease of items such as copiers, department credit cards, and office supply stores such as Staples and Office Depot. As a member, the City can save money on the purchase of goods and services when purchased through the use of the State's Procurement Program. Should the City determine not to participate in the program's 2010-2011 membership term, the City may not use any contracts after December 31, 2009, or the City will be responsible for the entire two-year fee. This could adversely impact City staff, for example, more and more businesses prefer to have payment by credit card rather than a purchase order. Currently, staff is obtaining new departmental credit cards through the State's Procurement Program. Councilmember Clauson MOVED and Councilmember Putaansuu seconded the motion to adopt Resolution No. 121-09, authorizing the Mayor to execute an lnterlocal Agreement for the State's Purchasing Cooperative Program with State of Washington, Department of General Administration in a total contract amount of $2,000. The contract shall commence January 1, 2010 and end on December 31, 2011. Upon vote, the motion passed unanimously. Councilmember Colebank was absent. N. Adoption of Ordinance No. 028-09, Amending Port Orchard Municipal Code 15.32 Stormwater Management Assistant City Engineer Archer presented the staff report, noting in January of 2007, the Washington State Department of Ecology issued a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II municipal storm water permit to the City of Port Orchard under its delegated authority to implement requirements of the federal Clean Water Act. The NPDES storm water permit pertains to municipal storm sewer systems that discharge to surface waters (such as streams, lakes, and bays) and which are not part of a combined storm and sanitary sewer system. The City's Phase II permit identifies minimum control measures, technical thresholds, and definitions for development, redevelopment and construction site runoff that must be implemented in order to be compliant with this permit. One of the requirements includes the legal authority, through the approval process for new development, to inspect private stormwater facilities that discharge to the City's Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System. Fortunately, the City's existing ordinance already had several of the necessary pieces implemented, but required additional information in some areas. One of the areas that expanded was the Minimum Site Development Requirements, section 15.32.065, previously this was part of 15.32.070, but due to the importance and amount of this information a new section of code was created. The proposed ordinance addresses all of the items required by the City's NPDES permit and conforms to the guidance document published by the Department of Ecology. Councilmember Olin MOVED and Councilmember Childs seconded the motion to adopt Ordinance No. 028-09, amending Port Orchard Municipal Code Chapter 15.32 "Stormwater Management."

Councilmember Powers voiced her opposition, noting that the Council should not waive fees for one organization when others are equally deserving. After a brief discussion, the Council directed this matter be brought forward to the December 15, 2009, work study session for further review. 8. CITIZENS COMMENfS Jerry Harmon reminded the Council that low income residents may still have dial-up internet and only basic cable; and not broadcasting on BKAT would be a hardship. Mayor Coppola clarified for the listening audience that the City has been working with BKAT for the past several months to reach an agreement; however, every option presented was not a feasible option by BKAT's standards. In an effort to continue to provide some level of service to the citizens, the Council determined the next best course was to post the videos to the website and that staff continues to look into video streaming the meetings. Dick Davis acknowledged the efforts of City Attorney Jaeoby, Development Director Weaver and his staff for the tremendous amount of work it took to bring the parks issue to a successful agreement. He reminded the Council that he was a part of a Committee dedicated to helping with the design and promotion of the park in McCormick Woods. Frank Tweten voiced his appreciation of the Festival of Chimes and Lights, which he stated was a great event. He provided a letter to the Council regarding some changes to the proposed Land Use Regulatory Code update. 9. COMMITIEE REPORTS Councilmember Putaansuu stated a letter was sent out tci McCormick residents regarding the cross-connection that was not related to the annexation, but would update the Water System Plan, which now brings the City into full compliance.
