Agenda Staff Report
Summary: In 2016, the city adopted Resolution 021-16 which increased the compensation for the conflict
public defenders from $38 per hour with a maximum of $380 per case to $55 per hour with a maximum of
$550 per case. After receiving grant funds in 2016, the City was able to add an additional conflict public
defender to the Conflict Public Defender List.
By this resolution, the City Council would accept grant funds from the Washington State Office of Public
Defense. These funds will allow the city to provide a sufficient number of attorneys to meet the mandatory
caseload limits and to provide attorneys at all in custody hearings. Before receiving these grant funds, the
Court had difficulty obtaining the services of a competent conflict public defender.
If the City accepts the grant funds for 2022 and 2023, the funding will allow the City to sustain the increase to
the conflict attorneys’ compensation as well as sustain the increased compensation to the contract firm.
The 2022-2023 grant amount is for $24,000.
Recommendation: Staff recommends the Council adopt a resolution, authorizing the mayor to sign the
Washington State Office of Public Defense Grant.
Relationship to Comprehensive Plan: N/A
Motion for consideration: I move to adopt a resolution authorizing the mayor to sign the Washington
State Office of Public Defense Grant Agreement.
Fiscal Impact: Additional revenue to improve the quality of public defense services.
Alternatives: Not authorize the agreement and provide additional guidance

Agenda Staff Report
Summary: Since 2019, the Police Department has utilized an online policy manual delivered through Lexipol.
Lexipol is recognized as a national standard for law enforcement policy and provides a customizable product
to the City that includes regular updates, training bulletins, and digital access to officers in the field.
Additionally, the Department uses Lexipol’s training site, PoliceOne, to deliver online training and
management of Department inventory.
The City’s insurer, AWC, recognizes the value of the Department using Lexipol and it associated accountability
systems. It has established an annual grant program that provides $5,000 per fiscal year to off-set costs. The
City’s subscription for 2022 costs $12,059.25. The grant covers 44% of the yearly subscription fee.
By this Resolution the Council would authorize the acceptance of this grant funding and authorize the Mayor
to execute any necessary documents to effectuate this authorization.
Recommendation: Staff recommends the Council adopt a Resolution accepting the AWC RMSA Lexipol
membership Reimbursement grant.
Relationship to Comprehensive Plan: N/A
Motion for consideration: I move to adopt a Resolution accepting the AWC RMSA Lexipol membership
Reimbursement grant.

Agenda Item No.: Consent Item 4F Meeting Date:
January 25, 2022
Subject: Approval of Amendment No. 1 to Prepared by: Mark Dorsey, P.E.
Contract No. 046-21 with Otis Elevator Public Works Director
Company for City Hall Elevator Atty Routing No: 366922-0009 (PW)
Maintenance Atty Review Date: January 20, 2022
Summary: The Public Works Department budgeted $20,000.00 within the 2021-2022 Biennial Budget for
continued City Hall elevator maintenance. On May 25, 2021, the City executed a Purchased Services
Agreement with Otis Elevator C046-21 for the provision of City Hall Elevator Maintenance. Section 1C of
the underlying agreement provides that this agreement shall commence on June 1, 2021 and shall
terminate on June 1, 2026. Section 3 Compensation states that “Compensation for these services shall
not exceed $10,000 without written authorization and will be based on billing rates and reimbursable
rates attached to underlying agreement as Exhibit A. The consultant and the City have conferred and
wish to clarify that the parties intended that the “not to exceed” amount of $10,000 is an annual amount
for each year of the five-year contract. The “not to exceed” amount listed in Section 3 Compensation is
an annual maximum. Therefore, compensation for these services shall not exceed $10,000 annually for
each year of the five-year contract without written authorization. This amendment is a clarification of
the contract language.
Relationship to Comprehensive Plan: Chapter 9 – Capital Facilities
Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council approve Amendment No. 1 for Contract No.
C046-21 with Otis Elevator Company clarifying a not to exceed amount of $10,000.00 per year for a five-
year term.
Motion for Consideration: I move to authorize the Mayor to execute Amendment No. 1 to Contract No.
C046-21 with Otis Elevator Company, clarifying a not to exceed amount of $10,000.00 per year for a five-
year term.
Fiscal Impact: The 2021-2022 Biennial Budget allocated $20,000.00 for this service (001.05.518.30.40).
The contract term is five years and will require future budget allocations to cover the balance of the
term.

Agenda Staff Report
Summary: In 2007, the City of Port Orchard agreed to adopt school impact fees at South Kitsap School
District’s (SKSD) request. The City did this without the benefit of an interlocal agreement (ILA). The result of
the arrangement up to this point was that the City adopted the provided school impact fee rates, but the fees
were paid directly to SKSD where the money was managed and spent by the school district. While the City
does not believe SKSD has in anyway mismanaged these funds, the absence of an ILA means that the City
would be liable for any misuse of funds or appeals related to the application of these fees.
The proposed agreement amends our current practices such that the fees will be paid directly to the City and
then transferred to SKSD on a regular basis. This will be more convenient for builders because they will not
be required to go to SKSD offices to make this payment before returning to the City with a receipt. In
addition, the agreement provides that SKSD will indemnify the City for appeals related to the calculation,
application, and spending of the fees. While receipting and disbursing the collected impact fees will be
slightly more work for city staff, the benefits associated with the indemnification provisions of the agreement
far outweigh those costs. In addition, the agreement provides a framework for providing annual updates to
SKSD’s Capital Facilities Plan as well as an annual report on impact fee collection and spending.
The SKSD School Board approved the ILA at a previous meeting and has provided a signed copy of the
agreement to the City.
Relationship to Comprehensive Plan: Impact Fees are authorized by the Growth Management Act. A
requirement of state law is that the fees be based on planned improvements from an adopted capital
facilities plan. In this case, SKSD maintains a capital facilities plan and updates it annually.
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the ILA as presented.
Motion for consideration: “I move to adopt a Resolution authorizing the Mayor to sign an interlocal
agreement with the South Kitsap School District as presented.”
Fiscal Impact: The increases in costs related to the ILA are de minimis.
Alternatives: Do not approve the ILA. Request that City staff negotiate revisions to the ILA. Repeal school
impact fees.
Attachments: Resolution, ILA signed by the Superintendent

for Contract No. 036-21 with ACI Atty Routing No.: 366922.0009 - PW
for the Sidney Avenue Sewer Repair Atty Review Date: January 17, 2022
Project
Summary: On April 13, 2021, the Port Orchard City Council approved Contract No. C036-21 with Active
Construction, Inc. (ACI) for the Sidney Avenue Sewer Repair Construction Project (the “Project”) in the
amount of $358,358. On July 9, 2021, the City’s Public Works Department issued the Notice to Proceed
for the Project to ACI. Following the execution of the Contract, the Public Works Department received a
request by ACI to ‘Bond for Retainage.’ RCW 60.28.011(6) allows for bonding in lieu of the City
withholding retainage. It was discovered that the Contract form utilized was not complete, in that it did
not include forms designating how the retainage was to be held or the option for the use of a Retainage
Bond. Subsequently, a Retainage Bond was not submitted when the Contract was assembled and
authorized. To cure this deficiency, Staff recommends acceptance of a Retainage Bond.
Relationship to Comprehensive Plan: Chapter 7 - Utilities
Recommendation: Staff recommends approving Resolution No. 012-22, authorizing the acceptance of a
Retainage Bond from Active Construction, Inc. for the Sidney Avenue Sewer Repair Construction Project.
Motion for Consideration: I move to adopt Resolution No. 012-22, authorizing the acceptance of a
Retainage Bond from Active Construction, Inc. for the Sidney Avenue Sewer Repair Construction Project.
Alternatives: Do not Approve
Fiscal Impact: None.

sidewalk and pavement repairs from Dekalb Street to Kitsap Street; and
WHEREAS, on April 13, 2021, the City Council authorized Contract No. 036-21 with ACI
Construction for the Project in the amount of $358,358; and
WHEREAS, in July 2021, the City Council increased the change order authority for the
project by up to $135,000.00 to address anticipated cost overruns and avoid unnecessary
delays; and
WHEREAS, the Contractor has requested to post a bond in lieu of the City holding
retainage, so that the Contractor may receive full payment from the City including retainage;
and
WHEREAS, Staff has discovered that complete retainage forms, including the option to
utilize a Retainage Bond, was not included within the Contract and recommend that the City
accept a Retainage Bond to cure the deficiency; and
WHEREAS, RCW 60.28.011(6) specifically allows a contractor to submit a bond for all or
any portion of the contract retainage in a form acceptable to the City, unless the City can
demonstrate good cause for refusing to accept the Retainage Bond, and such cause is not
present under this contract and bond request; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds accepting a retainage bond to be consistent with the
intent of state statutes; now, therefore

Agenda Staff Report
Summary: The City of Port Orchard participates in the Association of Washington Cities (AWC)
Retrospective Rating (RETRO) Pool. As part of our membership, AWC manages our workers
compensation claims working with the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries (L&I), the
healthcare providers, the City and the injured employee.
The City has a claim from 2020 that L&I denied. The injured employee appealed the denial of the claim
to the Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals. AWC retained the law firm Holmes Weddle Barcott to
represent AWC on behalf of the RETRO program during the early stages of the appeal process. As the
claim has progressed through the appeal process, AWC shifted the matter to direct representation by
the City and recommended the City retain Holmes Weddle Barcott as representation of the City on the
claim to ensure continuity.
City staff recommends retaining Holmes Wendell Barcott to continue to represent the City of Port
Orchard in this appeal process. The estimated cost of this service may exceed the $35,000 threshold
allowed by the City’s Procurement Policy, therefore City Council action is requested.
Recommendation: Staff recommends the Council authorize the mayor to sign a contract to engage the
services of Holmes Weddle Barcott relating to a workers compensation claim appeal to the Board of
Industrial Insurance Appeals.
Relationship to Comprehensive Plan: N/A
Motion for consideration: I move to authorize the mayor to execute an agreement with Holmes
Weddle Barcott to provide legal services related to workers compensation claims as needed.
Fiscal Impact: Expenses will be part of the legal services budget. It is anticipated that the current budget
can absorb this expense. The contract terms are limited to a maximum expense of $50,000.
Alternatives: Not approve this request and provide alternative guidance.

employees providing services to the City retired using the 2008 Early Retirement Factors (ERFs),

“C”. This notification to DRS could impact the payment of retirement benefits to the employee or
owners of Consultant. Consultant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City from any
and all claims, damages, or other liability, including attorneys’ fees and costs, relating to a claim
by DRS of a pension overpayment caused by or resulting from Consultant’s failure to comply with
the terms of this provision. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
17. Non-appropriation of Funds. If sufficient funds are not appropriated or allocated
for payment under this Agreement for any future fiscal period, the City will so notify the
Consultant and shall not be obligated to make payments for services or amounts incurred after the
end of the current fiscal period. This Agreement will terminate upon the completion of all
remaining services for which funds are allocated. No penalty or expense shall accrue to the City
in the event that the terms of the provisions are effectuated.
18. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the
parties, and no other agreements, oral or otherwise, regarding the subject matter of this Agreement
shall be deemed to exist or bind either of the parties. If there is a conflict between the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and the attached exhibits, then the terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall prevail over the exhibits. Either party may request changes to the
Agreement. Changes which are mutually agreed upon shall be incorporated by written
amendments to this Agreement.

Dealing with the Media

communicating your message, product or
brand to the media. Public relations is

organization, from big and small businesses
and non-profit organizations to governments

Discipline and Termination
Completed in 2019 by Council & Mgrs

for various reasons. The decision to
discipline or even terminate an employee is
not one that should be taken lightly, and
there is a right and wrong way to approach
the situation. In this course, learners will
explore ways to appropriately address issues
before termination is necessary, be able to
terminate employees confidently if
discipline fails, and for employees to
understand the need for a disciplinary
process and the rules and expectations that
inform them. 1 hour, liked by 42 users

Diversity in the Workplace
(Assigned to all new employees)
Diversity in the workplace is an essential
part of any workplace culture. As we live
and work in a global economy, the diversity
of those we interact with and who work
alongside us must be both acknowledged
and respected. Diversity is more than just a
term; it is how individuals identify
themselves as well as how others perceive
them. 1 hour, liked by 457 users
Ethical Behavior for Local

behavior, provide examples of work
situations where a thorough understanding

decisions and behavior are meeting the
appropriate standards.

FMLA Training for Supervisors
Sometimes employees need to make serious,
life-changing decisions. In some cases, they
may even need to choose between providing
direct care for a loved one, for example, and
the need to provide for their family's
financial needs. In previous eras, people
often became caught in an "either/or"
situation because employers were not
always cooperative when individuals needed
time for personal matters. Employees ran the
risk of losing their jobs and benefits if they
made the choice of putting their family first.
Fortunately, the Family and Medical Leave
Act (FMLA) entitles eligible employees to
take the time they need to handle life events.
In this course, we will discuss the FMLA in
detail to help you as a supervisor understand
what FMLA is, how it applies to employees,
what you and your company need to do
when an employee requests a leave of
absence, and what you need to know to
avoid compliance issues. 1 hour, liked by 56

Generational Differences

understand these differences and use these
generational differences in a beneficial way?
In this course, learners will examine the four
most prominent generational workers, their
core values, and how these come into play in
the workplace. 1 hour, liked by 156 users
HR Recruitment and Selection
Process
When an organization determines the need
for additional labor, employers have a
number of choices to make. This may be the
first step in a full-scale recruitment and
selection process but sometimes hiring
additional employees is not the best method
to obtain additional labor. Since the costs of
recruitment and selection can be staggering,
hiring new employees should occur only
after careful consideration. 1 hour. liked by

Leadership v. Management
Completed in 2020 by Managers
Management and leadership are terms that
are frequently used interchangeably;
however, they are not the same thing. They
have quite distinct meanings. The two do
have similarities, but they also have
important differences. This course is
designed to help you understand the
difference between leadership and
management and why these differences are
important. 1 hour; liked by 95 users

Meeting Management
Every day at workplaces around the country,
employees huddle in conference rooms to
tackle a wide range of issues. Most
meetings, however, are almost universally
perceived by employees to be a waste of
time. In this course, we will examine some
measures that can be taken to help you get
more out of meetings, which, in the end, will
lead you to a happier and more productive
work environment. 1 hour, liked by 26 users
Parliamentary Procedures
Whether you are an experienced leader or
just beginning your role as a leader or
member, knowledge of parliamentary rules
and procedures is essential to conduct
efficient and high-quality meetings. Good
parliamentary procedure not only ensures
order, it ensures justice to everyone,
provides productive use of limited time, and
ultimately gives everyone a sense of self-
confidence. 1 hour, liked by 10 users.
Performance Management
Assigned in 2017
Managing employee performance through
standards, observation and feedback may
sound easy, but doing it well is another
story. Many managers and supervisors see
the appraisal process as a single day event
on the employee's anniversary date, which is
not the case. The performance appraisal
process is an ongoing activity that takes
effort throughout the year, not just at the
time of the appraisal. 1 hour, liked by 55

Risks of Social Media in the
Workplace
More than 3 billion people use social media
every month. From LinkedIn, to Facebook,
to Snapchat, social media is all around us.
Many Americans use social media in their
personal lives every day, but most

Shaping an Ethical Workplace
Culture
Workers create an organization's culture of
credibility, integrity, and excellence. When a
group of employees honors an environment
of ethical principles and foundation, the
organization benefits from the culture. The

is to highlight the importance of ethical
behavior choice, examine ethical decision-
making, and discover consequences of
individual ethical attitudes on the

Successful Customer Interactions
There is a strong correlation between
customer satisfaction and the success of a
business or department. Welcoming
customers means working to create satisfied
customers from the inside-out. When local
government creates satisfied customers, we

this course, learners will discover how to
interact as co-workers and service providers.
We will also cover understanding the

Workplace Bullying
When we think of bullying, we immediately
associate it with the school yard, certainly
not something we face as an adult.
Unfortunately, bullying in the workplace

there are various forms of bullying, from
overt forms to those which are quite passive.
Workplace bullying may have significant
consequences for those involved, for
yourself as an employee as well as your

Kitsap Homes
of Compassion

City of Port Orchard, WA
CC: Scott Willard, KHOC Executive Director
Melissa Stern, P.O. Community Health Navigator
From: Kitsap Homes of Compassion

Bremerton, WA 98311
RE: Proposal for housing combined with behavioral health services for homeless
January 20, 2022
Greeting Mayor Putaansuu,
It was great meeting you and Melissa Stern today. Thank you for your suggestions.
As you requested, this letter is to put in writing the cost of our social work/case management services we
provide to our supportive housing shared homes is, on average, $1,000 per month per home (which
houses, on average, 4 individuals). So, for one year, that would be $12,000 per home. We understand your
city might be interested in Kitsap Homes of Compassion starting 3 new supportive housing homes in
2022 within the city limits of Port Orchard, which would be $36,000/year.
As you suggested today, we also propose Port Orchard paying the program fee for 1 of the rooms in a
P.O. house ($600/mo) for a homeless person who is in the process of applying for SSI but hasn’t been
awarded SSI yet and who has not been able to get Housing and Essential Needs (HEN) funding (HEN has
a program to pay the program fee for homeless who are applying to SSI, but funding is limited). We
would let Melissa Stern determine who would be best for that room, in consultation with our KHOC
clinical supervisor. So that would be an additional $7,200/year.
We determine the program fee cost we charge the residents based on the cost of KHOC to rent the house
plus $100/mo for all the house utilities, including internet service and phone land line, which KHOC
provides, as well as room size (i.e. master bedrooms with a private BA are higher than shared bathroom
rooms). That cost comes out in the range of $600/mo to 750/mo.
We offer “low barrier” homes, where residents can drink alcohol in the house, and if their blood alcohol
level is above driving limits, they agree to stay in their bedroom and not in the common areas. That is
about 30% of our homes. Then the other 70% of our homes are “sober homes” where zero alcohol is
permitted and zero intoxicated is permitted. Many residents who are trying to quit drinking and not be
“temped” with alcohol prefer these homes. We will try to open a low barrier home, but if the homeowner
whom we rent the house from does not agree with it, we may need to go to the sober home model.
All our homes permit tobacco smoking and marijuana smoking when done outside away from the doors
and windows (usually the make a smoking area in the back yard of the house.).

Kitsap Homes
of Compassion
For the safety of the neighborhoods where the homes are located, we do not tolerate methamphetamine
usage, and all program participants agree to random urine drug testing if we suspect drug use. We require
that participants be clean from illegal drugs for 6 months before moving into the house (we are not
designed as a drug rehab program – there are other programs in the county that offer that service).
The $1,000/mo per home for behavior health services cost goes toward paying for our behavior health
staff which includes four KHOC housing navigators which are bachelor’s level social workers, and one
KHOC Clinical supervisor who is a licensed independent advance Social Worker (master’s degree in
social work), and one licensed counselor. These six behavioral health specialists are highly trained and
experienced at working with individuals with mental health disorders and people with addictions,
including comorbidities. They work with individuals in the homes and are involved with there is crisis
situations. These behavioral health specialists also provide ongoing training and support to our volunteer
house managers. This funding also helps pay some of our administrative cost of offering these services.
If the City of Port Orchard helps us with this funding, we will give referrals from Melissa Stern priority
into placement into any openings in the Port Orchard homes.
If you could kindly take our proposal to the Port Orchard City Council, it would be greatly appreciated.
We are actively trying to lease such homes, that are located within a half mile of a bus stop. As soon as
we get homes, we’ll let you.
It is our belief, gained from the example of many cities across the U.S., that the solution toward reducing
and eliminating chronic homelessness is creating more long-term permanent supportive housing options.
Homeless shelters are a necessary short-term stopgap measure for a crisis, analogous to an emergency
room intervention in a medical crisis. But KHOC is focused on permanent solutions, if using the medical
analogy, like what assisted living is for those living with chronic health conditions. Homelessness does
not have to be a permanent fixture of contemporary life in Port Orchard or Kitsap County. We know what
steps need to be taken to solve it.
The MISSION of Kitsap Homes of Compassion is to provide safe, affordable, permanent housing through
comprehensive support services for those who are homeless or are struggling with housing insecurity.
Thank you again for your support and partnership in assisting this vulnerable population.
Sincerely,
