At 8:20PM Mayor Weatherill called for a 10 minute recess with meeting reconvening at 8:30PM.
Councilman Clauson, Water/Sewer Committee Chainman, reported on meeting held January 19, 2000 with
Bill Dunning, Pacific Land Design, to discuss the requested variance to the developers extension agreement
ordinance for the Albertson's store located at 390 Sedgwick Road. The Albertson's store constructed a 12-
inch water main, sewer pump station, and a sewer force main, which are capable of serving surrounding
properties. Construction commenced before a developer's extension agreement application was submitted.
Albertson's would like a developer's extension agreement to facilitate reimbursement for a portion of the
construction costs. ·
The Water/Sewer Committee recommended against a variance to the developer's extension agreement
ordinance.
Councilman Clauson referred to several options the committee discussed:
• Albertson's would retain ownership and control of the lift station, which is located on their
property.
o The sewer lines on Albertson's property would belong to Albertson's.
o Albertson's would provide a maintenance bond to the city.
o Albertson's would report annually to the city on the maintenance of the system.
• The force main is in public right-of-way; this would be turned over to the city.
January 24, 2000

• At some time in the future, the city would assume ownership of the pump station and sewer
mains.
Ron Rice, adjacent property owner, asked for clarification, why a developer's extension agreement can not
be allowed.
City Engineer Curies reported the Public Works staff did not process Albertson's developers extension
agreement application, because it was received after construction had started, which did not comply with the
requirements of the city ordinance.
City Attorney Montgomery further clarified Albertson's can negotiate a cost sharing arrangement with
surrounding property owners for use of the sewer lift station. When one of these properties is ready to
develop or connect to the sewer system they would have the option of connecting to Albertson's sewer
station, or construct their own pump station. The city would not be involved in the negotiation process if
Albertson's retains private ownership of the lift station.
Richard A. Brown, representing adjacent property owners, requested the city take ownership and control of
the sewer lift station located on Albertson's property.
Howard Allnutt, adjacent property owner, asked if individual property owners installed the sewer lift stations,
who would own them. City Engineer Curies reported this issue would be addressed when individual lift
stations were being proposed and constructed.
On motion by Councilman Geiger, seconded by Councilman Clauson, Council approved the consent agenda
as follows:
a. Minutes of the January 10,2000 regular council meeting.
b. Claim warrant numbers 32212-3228g in the amount of $268,865.61.
On motion by Councilman Clauson, seconded by Councilman Van Zee, Council excused Councilman
Morrison from the February 14, 2000 and February 28, 2000 Council meetings.
On motion by Councilman Geiger, seconded by Councilwoman Powers, Council authorized Mayor Weatherill
to sign contract with Kitsap Resources for a clerical job training program, at no salary/benefit cost to the city.
On motion by Councilman Stansbery, seconded by Councilman Morrison, Council declared as surplus
several abandoned bicycles in the Police Department and authorized Police Chief Townsend to dispose of
these bicycles in the best interest of the city.
On motion by Councilman Stansbery, seconded by Councilman Morrison, Council declared as surplus two
Mossberg 12-guage shotguns in the Police Department and authorized Police Chief Townsend to dispose of
these shotguns in the best interest of the city.

to send a letter thanking the Rotary Club of Port Orchard for repainting and striping the basketball courts at
the Active Club Building. This was a Rotary Club's community development project.
On motion by Councilman Morrison, seconded by Councilman Clauson, Council authorized the City Engineer
to send a letter to Dr. Douglas Fogle to acknowledge his donation of property along the 2000 block of Pottery

EXHIBIT "A"
24 January 2000
This letter acknowledges your donation of property along Pottery Avenue and is assurance that
the City will construct the sidewalk and curb modifications to allow the necessary driveway,
when the adjacent property is developed. ·
Enclosed in this letter is Exhibit A of the right of way dedication deed. You and Dr. Mast have
given this property to the City so that the Pottery Avenue sidewalk can be constructed.
The property abutting this dedicated right of way is currently undeveloped. Eventually these
parcels will be developed and access to Pottery Avenue is anticipated. In return for the yom: right
of way dedication, the City will allow access across the sidewalk to Pottery Avenue. The access
would have to comply with engineering standards. In addition, the City will provide for the
construction of the sidewalk and curb cuts, at no cost to the property owner. It is anticipated that
this will require removal of the existing concrete walkway and construction of a concrete
driveway across the City right of way.
This letter and commitment has been approved by the City Council on 24 January 2000.
