SEWER PUMP AND SEWER MAINS
RESOLUTION NO. 2198
WHEREAS, the City of Bremerton has negotiated the use of 4.5
million dollars on a 50% match basis with the Washington State
Department of Ecology; and
WHEREAS, design and construction of the Central Business
District's sewer improvements must progress on a tight schedule
with a firm deadline; and
WHEREAS, the Bremerton City Council desires to express its
support of a preliminary site selection process so that engineer-
ing and design work can commence to the permit application stage;
and
WHEREAS, the Bremerton City Council recognizes that this
resolution is for preliminary support only and that the City
Council has not biased any decision for the Substantial Shoreline
Development Permit which may be brought to the City Council with
full environmental and technical documentation for the project;
and
WHEREAS, the Bremerton City Council has been advised by the
Mayor and the technical consulting team involved in the project
that the following conditions relative to the 2nd Street Observa-
tion tower can be fulfilled:
The existing observation tower can be moved without
damage and at moderate cost;
2. A base and moving cost for the existing tower at another
location would cost approximately $20,000;
An enlarged pump station at the foot of 2nd Street can be
constructed with a larger observation tower, of the same
design as the existing tower, within the budget for the
sewer improvement project;
The existing frame and flag pole can be utilized at the
enlarged observation tower site at the foot of 2nd;
WHEREAS, the cost for placing a new pump station at a site
other than the existing site will require additional system
reconfiguration costs and an extended permit processing time; and
WHEREAS, the City will benefit from an "equal to or better
than" observation tower, of same design, over the enlarged pump

station plus have the ability to safely and constructively relo-
cate the existing tower thereby increasing the City's inventory
of shoreside viewing platforms;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Bremerton City Council

planning for an enlarged sewer pump station at the foot of 2nd
Street with the above conditions for the observation tower being
met; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council does request
Mayor Lobe to prepare an analysis of alternative sites at which
the existing observation tower may be relocated and that this
analysis be presented to the City Council for site selection
decision on a timely basis.
