Task 2 - Public Education and Outreach
A. The RECIPIENT will perform workshops to educate citizens and
business owners on the facts of why, how, when, and costs of
our CSO reduction program. These workshops will be at
convenient times and days to encourage attendance.
Workshops will use a multimedia approach to clearly define
the problems and offer potential solutions that can be
applied to achieve the CSO reduction goals. The focus of
each workshop will be to educate and recruit volunteer
businesses and residents to separate their own systems and
encourage them to share what they have learned with their
friends and neighbors. The program will be citywide and
will give citizens the opportunity to become involved with
the CSO reduction effort. Invitations will be sent to
residents and business owners based on their location within
the City, as determined by established City Council District
boundaries. Workshop announcements will be made through the
local newspapers, Bremerton Kitsap Access Television channel
(BKAT), an internet web site, mailers and/or door hangers to
each business or residence in the city of Bremerton.
B. The RECIPIENT will develop a distinctive and associative
logo that will identify the CSO Reduction Program.
C. Self-help handouts and informational brochures/packages will
be developed and distributed at workshops or as requested
via phone or e-mail. These include self-help guides on how
to remove stormwater from the sanitary sewer system, and
handouts on point and nonpoint source pollution prevention
guidance.
Page 6 of 13
City of Bremerton
Cooperative Approach to CSO Reduction
Grant No. G0000172
D. Two videos will be developed and will be used as part of the
Project workshops and on TV. The first video will include
animation showing how rainfall affects a combined or
separated sewer system when stormwater is allowed to enter
the system. This will show the difference between a
combined and a separated sewer system, and how the sanitary
sewer system will work after the roof and other stormwater
flows are removed. Real footage of a CSO event will be
included. The video will provide a visual aide to assist in
developing a true understanding of how a sewer system
functions. This video is a cornerstone of the public
education portion of the program because it will show how
removing downspouts and other rain leaders on private
property will reduce CSO events. The second video will be a
self-help video on how to separate downspouts and other rain
leaders. 1,000 copies of this video will be made and
distributed to the public.
E. The RECIPIENT will develop and maintain an internet web site
to promote Bremerton's CSO Reduction Program and distribute
CSO reduction information. This information will include
workshop dates, technical assistance on CSO redugtion, CSO
separation schedules, progress reports, estimated CSO
improvement completion dates, contact addresses for mail and
e-mail and phone numbers.
F. Success of the overall program will be evaluated based on
tangibles such as total number of roof drains separated,
estimated volume of stormwater removed from the system,
program participants, workshop attendance, distribution
counts of: brochures, self-help pamphlets, self-help
videos, etc. A random survey of sewer ratepayers will be
conducted pre and post workshops to determine the
effectiveness of the workshops and the general public
education effort.
G. Equipment to be purchased with grant funds to facilitate
this portion of the project, at a total cost not to exceed
$12,000, include:

Dear Ms. McCluskey:
Olympic Ambulance is submitting a proposed rate increase for implementation January 1,
2000. The new schedule reflects a 5% increase over the rates we currently charge. We
still offer an early pay discount.
As discussed in our study session, the write-offs for Medicare continue to increase, and
the number of claims that Medicare denies continues to rise. Medicaid has stopped
paying balances af[er Medicare payments. We also have seen .increases in labor and fuel
expenses. These factors have initiated the rate increase.
With the 5% increase Olympic Ambulance will remain one of the lowest priced, non-
subsidized services in the State of Washington.
Sincerely, / ~
Willi ~a~L'~hnT~

have had since January 1999. We still offer an early pay discount.
We would like to thank the Council members, who participated in the study session in
September, for allowing us the opportunity to explain ambulance billing and
reimbursement issues. To recap the deciding factors of increasing our rates, the write-
offs for Medicare continue to increase, the number of claims that Medicare denies
continues to rise, Medicaid has stopped paying for balances after Medicare payments, and
the increases in labor and fuel costs.
Most patients within the city receive either Medicare of Medicaid benefits. Medicaid
patients do not see any out of pocket expense. The average Medicare patient pays
approximately $62.00 to $87.00 in out of pocket expenses. With a 5% increase the
average Medicare patient would see a $3.10 to $4.35 increase.
We are pleased that Bremerton Ambulance remains one of the least expensive, non-
subsidized, services in the state of Washington.
Sincerely ................... ,

Port Blakely Joint Planning Area
Proposal: The 1998 Kitsap County Comprehensive Plan designated 440 acres of property owned
by Port Blakely, located west of Kitsap Lake, as an urban joint planning area for business and
light industrial land uses. The designation was made to achieve the County's goal of having land
zoned and available for businesses to locate on and for jobs to be created. A Subarea Plan is
being prepared by Bremerton and Kitsap County that will identify the zoning for the property
and specify the environmental protections that must be included for the project to be built.
Alternative land uses are being considered for the site, including a mixed use project that would
include residential, commercial and business uses. The project will include public trails, a public
park and a buffer adjacent to our neighbors.
Port Blakely: Port Blakely Tree Farms is a family owned company that has owned and operated
tree farms in Kitsap County and throughout Washington since the turn of the century. Port
Blakely Communities is the real estate division of Port Blakely Tree Farms. The Central Kitsap
Business Center is part of a larger tree farm of 2,000 acres.
Timeline: The Subarea Plan will be reviewed by the City of Bremerton and Kitsap County this
Fall. If approved, the property could be annexed to the City of Bremerton in early 2000. Port
Blakely could submit an application to the City for a specific project in the Spring of 2000.
Environmental review and public input would take place in 2000 and into 2001. Construction of
the project would not occur earlier than the Spring of 2001.
Access and Services: There will likely be two access roads to the project, one at the north from
Northlake Way and one at the south by an extension of Werner Road to the site. The project will
be served with water and sewer by the City of Bremerton.
Environmental Protection: The project will only proceed if it is demonstrated that there will
not be adverse impacts to the productive salmon resources of Chico Creek or to the water quality
of Kitsap Lake. A master drainage plan will be prepared at the time there is a specific project that
will include the best management procedures for protecting water quality and controlling water
runoff.
Other Port Blakel.y Proiects: Port Blakely is currently developing Issaquah Highlands, a
planned community in Issaquah with 3,000 homes, parks, trails, recreation, a regional retail
center and a business center. Port Blakely also developed Montruex, a residential community of
300 homes in the City of Issaquah and has recently started construction of McGarvey Park, a
residential community of 500 homes in the Renton area.

Port Blakely is dedicated to developing environmentally sensitive communities and growing
sustainable forest to benefit current and future generations

Project:
Central Kitsap Business Center Sub-area Plan
Background:
Kitsap County and the City of Bremerton are in the process of process of preparing a Sub-area
Plan for approximately 440 acres of land located to the west of Kitsap Lake. Port Blakely Tree
Farms owns this land and has expressed an interest in developing the area consistent with the
Kitsap County Comprehensive Plan. The subject property is located within the City of
Bremerton's Urban Growth Area.
The feasibility of establishing a business park on the subject property has been preliminarily
evaluated by the City and County working cooperatively with the project proponent.
Acknowledging that the proposed project is both ambitious and complex, a planning strategy in
which the critical issues were identified early in the process was agreed to by all participants. This
strategy identified the most critical issues which must be addressed immediately, those issues
which may wait until a full planning process is mounted and those issues which will addressed by
another process. The fu'st level of analysis isolated those critical issues and players which might
function as deal-breakers or conversely, deal-makers. In order to encourage an inclusionary pre-
planning process, the County and City agreed to work in close consultation with Port Blakely
Communities, the Suquamish Tribe and the Kitsap County Economic Development Council.
Representatives from each of the interest groups were invited to participate in the work groups
specifically created to address the key issues: transportation access to and from the site and
environmental resources on the site. Upon completion of this early planning analysis, and a
determination that the proposed uses for the site were feasible, the planning process was able to
continue to the next stage towards developing a Draft Sub-Area Plan and facilitating
environmental review. A summary of agreements and approaches associated with the planning
process to date was developed and signed by all of the major participants.
Project Description:
The parcel of land under review is a large (approximately 440 acres) undeveloped site located
within the Chico Creek Watershed. The project proposes business park, residential, supporting
commercial and recreational uses. Approximately 300 acres of the total 440 acres are developable.
Drainage flows both to Kitsap Lake and Dickerson Creek. Both of these bodies of water feed into
Chico Creek which is home to an important salmon run. The soils found on the site vary in
permeability and therefore also impact the drainage patterns. The proposed development is
adjacent to a low-density residential community situated around Kitsap Lake which is widely used
for recreational purposes.
Preliminary work on preparing the Sub-Area plan has indicated that a mixed-use development
would best meet the objectives of the City, County and project proponent. A mixed-use project
would include high technology and light industrial commercial enterprises integrated with a range
of residential units and an interconnected open space and recreational component, as well as an
internal circulation system. Identified within Kitsap County as insufficiently provided, such
businesses would be encouraged to locate at this site. Prohibited uses would include heavy
industry, manufacturing and hazardous waste producing businesses.
The intent behind allowing a mix of uses on the project site is that the residential uses will support
and contribute to the economic development of the local economy. The objective of this plan is to
facilitate, encourage and support proposed development which will further this goal of regional
economic growth.
Public Process:
Consistent with the procedures set forth in both the Kitsap County Comprehensive Plan (May
1998) and the Bremerton Comprehensive Plan (April 1995) Citizen Involvement Program,
opportunities for public participation in the development of the sub-area plan were established. On
July 22, 1999, a public information meeting was held near the site. The meeting was publicized
through two newspapers (The Bremerton Sun and The Central Kitsap Reporter), public postings
and mailers distributed to all residents within a one-mile radius of the site. The event allowed the
public to browse five informational tables with designated topics. The topics included roads,
access and transportation; critical areas, salmon and environmental issues; land use and planning;
the review process; and the proponent's proposal. Each station was staffed with City and County
employees, as well as experts retained to examine the site and develop summary reports and
recommendations. Additional opportunities for public involvement will be offered concurrent with
the review of the Draft Plan by the City and County Planning Commissions.
Anticipated Schedule:
It is anticipated that a Draft Sub-Area Plan will be available for review by the middle of January.
A SEPA Checklist is currently being prepared and a Threshold Determination is anticipated
shortly. A joint workshop with both the City and County Planning Commission is in the process
of being scheduled.
Background discussion:
Selecting a site for a new Recreation Center
Background: Follow~ its review ora study conducted by an ad hoc committee of Senior
Citizens, the Parks and Recreation Commission solicited public input on a proposal to replace
the Senior Center and the Sheridan Park Community Center for nearly two years. At the
conclusion of that process (which included five separate informal surveys during the past 18
months), it was clear tLat a majority of Bremerton's citizens agree that the community needs a
new recreation center.
As they began to work on a proposal to address that need, the Parks and Recreation Commission
and City statTresearched other recently constructed facilities throughout the country. As a resuk
of that effort, the group initially envisioned Bremerton's new facility as a 50,000 sq. ft. building
(w~a 300-car parking lot) consmtcted on a park site at a cost of approximately $8 million.
By early 1999, the Commission had begun the process of selecting a preferred site for the
project. They eventually reviewed and evaluated all City park sites (and several school sites)
plus: the Park Place site at Burwell and Park; the Puget Power/Dairigold site at I 1th and Park; the
Payless site at 4th and Park; the Grocery Outlet site at 6th and Montgomery; and the BremAir site
adjacent to Evergreen Park. (Plans for the proposed Sinclair Landing project eliminated the
poss~ility of sites in. the downtowa area_)
Original site evaluation: During their review of potential locations for the new facility, the
Commission evaluated each site based on criteria that included:
- Lot size (able to. accommodate building and parking areas)
Site acquisition cost
· Accessibility (for pedestrians, bikes, cars and public transit)
· Visibility of the facility
· Physical c'baracteristics (terrain and ~ews)
By the conclusion of the original site evaluation process, the Commission had determined that
Lions FieM was the pre_/erred location for the project.
The Bond Committee and the Y2R Campaign: By the early summer of 1999, the
Commission had successfally recruited interested citizens to ser,~e on a "bond committee" to
help organize a campaign for a special election. The committee quickly adopted the title Y2R,
meaning "Yes to Recreation", and established five sub-committees to work on marketing, public
relations, voter registr ~mion, fund raising, and finance.
A new Director of Parks and Recreation, with recent experience in development of a successful
multi-million dollar community center in the Midwest, arrived on the scene in early July and
quickly became immersed in the project. After two meetings with the committee .and a brief
review of the work that had been accomplished to date, he suggested that the group further
analyze the proposed budget and site location.
The Project Design Team and the Mayor's Implementation Strategy: In order to
expedite the expanded analysis, the Y2R Committee het, d a meeting in mid-August and agreed to
create a sixth sub-committee to focus on "project design", which was to include all issues related
specifically to the structure, parking, site selection and project budget.
At that meeting, Mayor Horton also unveiled a groposed implementation strategy for downtown
redevelopment (which incorporated the concept ora recreational component in conjunction with
tourism, housing, retail, entertainment and the arts) and asked the committee to consider the
possibility ora downtown location for the new recreation center. It was agreed that Mayor would
attempt to publicize her proposed implementation strategy through the local media, and that Ckty
staff would gauge public response to the ideas witla an informal survey. Ci~ officials soon met '
with the local newspapers, and l~ont-page stories about the Mayor's proposed strategy were
published in the Sun and the Patriot in early September.
Follow=up site evaluation: The Project Design Team began its work and quickly arrived at
a common tmdershan~g: Attractive' design, effective marketing and efficient management will
be more important to the success of the new center than its location. The team members f'axnly
believed that almost all users would need to travel by bike, car or bus...wherever the new center
is to be located. They also agreed to re-evaluate various sites (including potentiaI downtown
locations) using an expanded set of criteria which included:
· Environmental issues (including soil contamination and forestry concerns)
· Regulatory issues (including shoreline setbacks, ESA, zoning, etc.)
Development and con~uction costs (is one site cheaper ~ another?)
Impact on existing neighborhood (increased congestion, lraffic, noise, etc.)
· Impact on existing infrastructure (traffic patterns, water supply, sewer capacity, etc.)
· Impact on existing green space
Relationship to schools, YMCA, etc.
· Public option
The Project Design Team crafted an informal public survey to help guide their work, and within
a month the group had organized trips to Victoria, Tukwila, Kent and Tacoma to evaluate sites,
structures, parking needs and project costs. The Mayor then secured the services of a design
consultant to deteimine the feasibility...and to compare the costs...ofdeveioping a new
recreation center on various sites, including two downtown locations (one with an exiting
building and the other with an unencumbered 1-acre construction site) and one undesignated
park located outside of the downtown area.
Conclusions: On December 2~, the Project Design Team presented its final recommendations
to the entire Y2R Committee. Based on their research, informal survey results and input at
various public meetings, the team members concluded that:
· Actual project costs for a new recreation center are approximately $15 million
· The preferred location is a site east of the JC Penney building
By a vote of 12-2, the members of the Y2R Co ,mmittee endorsed and accepted the ~
recommendations of the Project Design Team and directed ti-at they be passed on to the City
Council for official action.
Disadvantages of a Downtown site:
· Perceived problems with traffic and parking - (Committee's response: Parking is now
included in the project budget; facility auto traffic will not conflict with rush hour; bike
access still needs to be addressed)
· Safety concerns - (Committee's response: Facility will be well-lighted; areas of high
activity tend to discourage "problem makers")
- Downtown's image - (Committee's response: Project could stimulate development of
housing, entertainment, retail and to.sm components)
· Property acquisition costs and loss i)f future tax revenue to the City - (Committee's
response: Relatively modest due to size of proposed site)
· Project deve}o, pment costs -(Committee's response: Comparable to costs f. or development
in a park setting)
· Limited space for future expansion, if needed
Advantages of a Downtown site:
· Central location - Accessible by car, ferry and public transit
· ,High visibility - Dramatic "statement" at portal to the City
· No known environmental issues
· No forestry ',msues
· Does not consume valuable green space
· No impact on residential neighborhoods - Large number of visitors is often considered a
negative in residential arms; can be a positi~/c in commercial areas
· Infrastructure in place - Water, storm sewer, sanitary sewer and overflow parking facilities
· Minima~ negative impact on YMCA -Though not far "west'"...it's still across thc water
· Advantageous traffic flows - Peak week-day hours generate traffic opposite PM rush hour
flows; no traffic problems on weekends
· Public opinion - More ~ 80% of those who have taken the t'.,_ime to express an opinion in
writing are in support of the downtown concept (although a specffic site was not identffied)
Even ff Downtown makes, sense .... Why this, specific site ?
Disadvantages of the preferred location:
Concerns over parking.
· Concerns over traffic congestion.
Concerns over property acqnisition costs.
Advantages of the preferred location:
Highly visible from waterfront and ferry.
· Accessible from three existing streets.
· ,Compact: size of site results i~ lower demolition and acquisition cost
and lessens impact on future propert~y tax revenues
· Limited business displacement (one restaurant, one tri-plex and three
surface parking lots)
Can attract' walk-in customers from ferry terminal
· Mixes well with anticipated development of residential, entertainment
and retail components in immediate area
· Complements uses at Admiral Tl~eater (breakout rooms)
