Home My WebLink About2474RESOLUTION NO. 2474 A RESOLUTION to adopt the City of Bremerton Water System Comprehensive Plan. WHEREAS, The City of Bremerton last prepared a water system plan in 1982; and WHEREAS, the City desires to plan for the future and growth in its water system service area; and WHEREAS, a water system comprehensive plan provides a means to meet future water system needs; and WHEREAS, the City is required to formally adopt a Water System Plan under State Department of Health regulations promulgated under Washington Administrative Code 246-290-100; and WHEREAS, the City began development of this planning document prior to the adoption of the Growth Management Act, now therefore, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Bremerton: That The City of Bremerton Water System Comprehensive Plan attached hereto be adopted. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Growth Management Update (June 28, 1994) to the Draft Bremerton Water Plan is adopted and made part of the Plan; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of Bremerton will immediately commence efforts to amend the text of the Water Plan to bring it into full conformance with the Growth Management Plan. PASSED by the City Council of the City of Bremerton this 20th day of July, 1994. SHERRIL HUFF-MENEES Council President APPROVED this 26th day of July, 1994. LYNN HORTON, Mayor ATTEST: KATHLEEN L. MCCLUSEY, Clerk ADDENDUM TO THE CITY OF BREMERTON WATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN GROWTH MANAGEMENT UPDATE DRAFT BREMERTON WATER PLAN June 28, 1994 GROWTH MANAGEMENT COMPLIANCE The draft Bremerton Water Plan was produced prior to the adoption of local comprehensive plans under the Growth Management Act (GMA). Both the City of Bremerton and the Kitsap County comprehensive plans are still under development. Therefore, certain sections regarding population forecasts, proposed capital improvements, and financial plans are not entirely consistent with GMA requirements and/or local planning efforts: Chapter 3 - Planning Data Information: Section 3.7 - Population, including Table 3-5, uses outdated population forecasts. The Growth Management Act requires that local plans serve expected population growth as allocated by the State and County. In 1992 Kitsap County adopted a population allocation for year 2010. The County is expected to adopt revisions for year 2014 shortly, as recommended by the Kitsap Regional Planning Council (KRPC). The Utility will need to work with Kitsap County to determine the population forecast for that part of the service area outside the city limits. Chapter 12 - Capital Improvement Plan: Section 12.2 - Alternative Analysis lists criteria for selection and prioritization of project alternatives. These criteria do not include compliance with Growth Management Act requirements. Section 12.3 - Identification and Scheduling of Improvements, including Tables 12- 1 and 12-2, lists proposed capital improvements based on outdated population forecasts and selection criteria, as discussed above. The project recommendations and priorities will need to be revised to be consistent with the Land Use, Utilities, and Capital Facilities elements of the GMA comprehensive plan to be adopted by the City later this year. The Water Plan will also need to be consistent with the Kitsap County Comprehensive Plan for the unincorporated part of the service area. The Water Plan will need to assess needs for the full 20- year planning period, to year 2014. Chapter 13 - Financial Plan: The Financial Plan will need to be updated to reflect the deficiencies discussed above. It will need to project costs and revenues through at least the first six years of the GMA comprehensive plan, which will be years 1995-2000. The following insert pages update and/or replace certain sections of the Bremerton Water Plan sufficient for GMA compliance at this time. The Utilities and Capital Facilities elements of the City's adopted Comprehensive Plan will include necessary revisions to the Water Plan to bring it into compliance with GMA. 3.7 POPULATION This section replaces the original section to bring it into compliance with State Growth Management Act requirements. The State Growth Management Act (GMA) requires the City of Bremerton and Kitsap County each to adopt a Comprehensive Plan, including a Utilities Element and a Capital Facilities Plan Element, to plan for projected growth for the next 20 years. That planning process is underway and expected to be complete in late 1994. The City and the County are required to plan for projected population growth as forecast by the State Office of Financial Management. Accordingly, the Kitsap County-wide Planning Policy, adopted in 1992 under the GMA, allocated 20,000 new population to Bremerton and an additional 24,600 to unincorporated Central Kitsap by year 2010. The Kitsap Regional Planning Council (KRPC) recently approved a revision that would allocate 20,000 new population to Bremerton and 22,592 population to Central Kitsap by year 2014. The Kitsap Board of County Commissioners is expected to adopt this revision to the County-wide Planning Policy in the near future. Service area projections by "Kitsap Transportation Analysis Zones" (KTAZ) are shown in Table 3-5. Figure 3-C shows the location of KTAZ areas. The service area population is the entire population within the incorporated and unincorporated areas served with water by the Bremerton Utility. Service area population includes the areas of the Rocky Point and Tracyton Water Districts.

County forecasts for the unincorporated parts of the service area indicate that the Illahee area of the Manette peninsula, the Gorst area, and 3-24A Bremerton Water Plan the northern parts of the service area will experience the greatest population increases. Between 1990 and the year 2014 the population within the entire service area is expected to increase by approximately 53.8 percent. The population of the PSNS varies with the number of ships in port. This count is updated quarterly for the purpose of distribution of State revenues. This number is expected to increase by approximately fifteen percent (15%) as more ships are homeported in Bremerton due to base closures elsewhere. Table 3-6- Service Area Projections will be superceded by Kitsap County KTAZ projections after they become available. Figure 3-D - Bremerton Water Utility Service Area Population Projections is also outdated. These will be updated with the adoption of the City of Bremerton Comprehensive Plan. 3-25A Bremerton Water Plan 12,2 ALTERNATIVE ANALYSIS This insert supplements the original section to bring it into compliance with State Growth Management Act requirements. The State Growth Management Act (GMA) requires all local plans to be consistent with GMA requirements. The Bremerton Water Plan was produced prior to the completion of City and County comprehensive plans. This section will be updated consistent with those plans with the adoption of the City's Utilities and Capital Facilities comprehensive plan elements. Project alternatives were developed and selected and prioritized in the following order:... · Compliance with regulatory/health and safety requirements · Compliance with State Growth Management Act (GMA) · System reliability/repair · Sources of supply to meet projected growth in adopted GMA comprehensive plans · Transmission, distribution, storage improvements · Scheduling of project budgets for financing [NO CHANGE TO REMAINDER OF SECTION] 12-4A Bremerton Water Plan CHAPTER 13 FINANCIAL PLAN This insert supplements the original text to bring it into compliance with State Growth Management Act requirements. INTRODUCTION The State Growth Management Act (GMA) requires all local plans to be consistent with GMA requirements. The Bremerton Water Plan was produced prior to the completion of City and County comprehensive plans. This section will be updated consistent with those plans with the adoption of the City's Utilities and Capital Facilities comprehensive plan elements. The GMA requires the comprehensive plan capital facilities plan element to include: ...at least a six-year funding plan that will finance such capital facilities within projected funding capacities and clearly identifies sources of public money for such purposes. The adoption of the City of Bremerton Capital Facilities Element will establish a six-year funding plan for water system improvements needed to provide for planned growth. The new funding plan will supercede this Bremerton Water Plan financial plan and bring the Water Plan into full compliance with the GMA. 13-1A Bremerton Water Plan 'L U1
