Susan Holland discussed public safety issues of the parking lots in downtown Bremerton after a
series of broken windows and break-in of vehicles parked in the lots. She learned from the Police
Department that over 200 break-ins occurred over the last 2 months. She asked that an ordinance
be passed which would require business owners to provide surveillance cameras, lighted areas, and
signs posted in high crime areas. She believed it was the responsibility of the managers, businesses,
and the City to provide safety. She will return in two weeks to see if any positive action has been
taken. Bob Duprie, Manager of Diamond Parking, was unaware of the figures provided on the
number of break-ins, and asked that it be verified. He further stated he believes a number of the
break-ins have occurred in a "problem area", and not just particularly because of the parking lot. He
handed out a list of suggestions and believes a "curfew" ordinance should be considered.
9A - ORDINANCE NO. 4724 (SECOND READING). AMENDMENTS TO THE BY-LAWS OF THE
BREMERTON PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION (#AB00-236): The first reading of this
ordinance was heard at the Council meeting on October 25, 2000. Cris Gears, Parks & Recreation
Director, reiterated the Parks & Recreation Commission considered reducing the number of members
from 9 to 7, and that this action would have no impact on the current Commission because there are
2 vacancies at this time.
There were no comments from the public.
#1390 M/S/C/U (FarflOIsen) Move to pass Ordinance No. 4724 on second reading, regulating the
functions of the Bremerton Parks & Recreation Commission.
9B - ORDINANCE NO. 4725 (SECOND READING) ON STREET VACATIONS FOR PORTIONS OF
"C" STREET, NEBRASKA AVENUE. AN ALLEY BETWEEN BAY VIEW DRIVE WEST, AND
STATE ROUTE 3, SOUTH OF "C" STREET (#AB00-238): The first reading of this ordinance was
heard at the Council meeting on October 25, 2000. Information was provided by Jeff Shea, Senior
Engineer, which reiterated that the rights-of-way are located in areas that were purchased by the City
as part of the Wastewater Treatment Plant odor mitigation; and that a portion of these properties
have been purchased by Rodney & Linda Parr for development, and the City has retained the portion
of the property abutting the north end of the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
There were no comments from the public.

9D - ORDINANCE (FIRST READING). LEVYING PROPERTY TAXES FOR COLLECTION IN 2001
(#AB00-242): Rich Hanna, City Treasurer, mentioned that the City's property taxes are levied on an
annual basis through passage of an ordinance. The proposed ordinance will implement a general
property tax levy at the statutory rate limit and special levies for EMS and bond redemption at rates
previously authorized by the voters. The language of the ordinance has been provided by the State
Department of Revenue via the County Assessor's Office in order to comply with the provisions of
Referendum 47. If Initiative 722 is passed by the voters, this ordinance may require modification at a
latter date.
Bob Duprie, Manager of Diamond Parking, asked that the City of Bremerton re-evaluate the way
businesses are taxed. Mr. Hanna responded that the valuation placed on real property is established
by the Kitsap County Assessor's office. He further explained that the value-based tax process would
include taxes on transactions taking place on business premises such as the B & O Tax, and Sales
Tax. The property valuation would determine whether total taxes on any given property would
increase or decrease.
#1935 M/S/C/U (Law/Reed) Move to approve ordinance on first reading, levying property taxes for
collection in 2001.
9E - ORDINANCE (FIRST READING). AUTHORIZING THE LEVY OF PROPERTY TAXES AT A
RATE IN EXCESS OF THE INCREASE IN THE IMPLICIT PRICE DEFLATOR (#AB00-243): Rich
Hanna, City Treasurer emphasized that Referendum 47 requires City Council to pass by super-
majority a separate action stating their intention to levy property taxes at a rate greater than the
change in the Implicit Price Deflator. The change in the Implicit Price Deflator for 2001 taxes is
2.61%. Non-passage of this ordinance would result in the growth of future tax levies being limited by
this rate of change.
There were no comments from the public.
Mr. She.Dherd asked how much revenue would be lost if the tax rate were reduced. He also asked if
during the budget process budget cuts were made, would then the Council be bound to collect the
property taxes based on the increase, or could there be an allowance be made. Mr. Hanna
answered that $55,000 in revenue would be lost if the ordinance were not approved and any
additional information could be made available prior to the second reading of the ordinance.
Mayor Horton suggested that a meeting be held with the County Assessor to help educate the
Council on the assessed valuation of City property.
#3645 M/S/F (FardOIsen) Move to approve ordinance on first reading, limiting the City's levy increase
to 106% of the 2000 levy.
Voted in favor of this motion: Farr, OIsen, Shepherd, Arends
Voted opposed to this motion: Esser, Reed, McConnell, Law, Rollman
Motion failed.
With no further business, meeting concluded at 7:07 P.M. Council then reconvened in the Council
Conference Room for two Executive Sessions to discuss a "Real Estate Acquisition" per RCW
42.30.110(1 )(b); and to "Review Personnel Performance" per RCW 42.30.110(1 )(g).

KITSAP REGIONAL
Kitsap County Message to the Legislature: Cross Sound Ferry Service
1. No Further Reduction in Current Service
Kitsap County's bottom line: The current level of service in both auto and passenger only fast ferries
(POFF) must be maintained. This includes both operating expenses and supporting capital.
The existing ferry service provides integral segments of four major transportation corridors that link
Seattle and King County to Bainbridge Island, the Kitsap and the Olympic Peninsulas: SR 305, 104,
304, and 160. The cost of the marine highway is not significantly higher than other bridges and
special-purpose roadway segments that WSDOT routinely funds. Compare Snoqualmie Pass' 26,000
daily users and winter maintenance requirements to the 52,000 daily users of the Kitsap ferry routes:
year-round, annualized construction and maintenance costs for the ferries are only 16% higher.
(Note: These costs do not include road right of way purchase or ferry operations that are partially
offset by user fees.)
2. Hi~her Fares for Better Service
Fare increases are acceptable only to provide improved service. Kitsap County is already a leader in
transportation user fees. Kitsap County needs better ferry, service. Our citizens would be willing to
pay higher fares to support expanded passenger only service.
3. It is Time for More Passenger-Only Se,wice~ Not Less
Passenger-only ferry service is the right answer for Puget Sound. Auto and passenger ferry service
is clearly called out in the Puget Sound Region's Metropolitan Transportation Plan as an essential
priority to address WSDOT's congestion management and Washington State's growth management
goals. (PSRC's 1995 Metropolitan Transportation Phm & draft 2001 Destination 2030)
* The first priority is expanded passenger service on the Bremerton to Seattle run -- a
necessary pre-condition to downtown Bremerton re-development and congestion relief
for downtown Seattle. Filling in midday and evening service gaps and additional peak
capacity can be accomplished in one of two ways -- either through full utilization of the
existing passenger vessels or through relatively short term lease on other existing vessels.
* The second priority is extending passenger-only service on Kingston and Southworth
routes to Seattle, where job growth outstrips residential growth by a factor of 7: 1.
Passenger-only is the Kitsap HOV lane to downtown Seattle.
4. Look at Implementatiol~ Options
Better options for operations, capital, and governance need to be reviewed. An expert review panel,
as required by Washington State's High Capacity Transit law, is the right vehicle to examine the full
range of possibilities.
