The City of Bremerton is nearing the end of an aggressive five- year plan to revitalize downtown Bremerton That effort has been successful in stimulating a reshaping of the downtown core and attracting private investment A new six -year plan is now proposed that builds on this success and extends it to all Bremerton Neighborhoods — "Neighborhoods Now I" plan The goal is to create and maintain safe, healthy, and active neighborhoods within the City After 20 years of economic stagnation, Bremerton's downtown is coming back and City parks are filled with families It began with the City's five -year Downtown Revitalization Plan and was made possible by effective partnerships forged with citizens, the business community, and other local government entities and legislative leaders At this time, the protects outlined in that plan are either completed or well underway Bremerton currently has nearly 4,000 residential lots or condominiums in various stages of development and several mixed -use or new commercial developments have been announced This burgeoning population will need and expect the same range of public services already enjoyed by current citizens of Bremerton (i a police, fire and emergency medical services, etc ) While growth eventually provides additional revenues to the City, those revenues lag behind the required additional expenditures necessary to provide those services Currently, projected revenue growth is sufficient to cover inflationary cost increases as they occur and allows for some limited additions in service levels For example, in the 2007 annual budget five police staff positions were added This was possible due to anticipated on -going revenue growth Although improving economic activity in Bremerton has resulted in a recent growth in revenues to fund City services, the growth in "on- going" revenues (as opposed to one time events) are essentially dust keeping pace with cost increases required to maintain the status quo as well as the additions necessary to serve the anticipated growing population In addition, the City's park system continues to grow, and is scheduled to grow even more with the successful efforts of the City to obtain grant funding to assist in the expansion of Evergreen Park, development of the upper portion of Harborside Park, and the Blueberry Park improvement project These projects along with the proposed upgrades to neighborhood parks when combined with the current demands of existing City parks will require additional staffing and supplies in excess of what is currently funded The City of Bremerton has been able to utilize the positive financial results of the past two years (2005 and 2006) to restore the City back to a solid financial condition (restoring financial reserves to minimum levels and paying down debt obligations) after several years of negative financial results The current financial projections indicate that the City should be able to "tread water" financially despite rising inflation affects and the impacts of a fast growing City However, new initiatives such as the Neighborhoods Now! Plan will require additional funding beyond current sources and projected revenue growth With the help and support of Bremerton citizens, the City can get the fob done and extend the City's revitalization success in downtown Bremerton and bring it home to our neighborhoods How will the funds be spent? If funding is approved, the following projects and expenditures would begin in 2008 and would occur annually through the six year period concluding in 2013 ♦ Maintenance and Operations of Current and Future Parks and Recreation Facilities (estimated average annual cost of $210,000) Fund two additional skilled parks maintenance positions plus additional temporary seasonal labor, purchase of two light service trucks, and related supporting supplies and materials expense ♦ Increase Code Enforcement Efforts in QU Neighborhoods (estimated average annual cost of $105,000) Fund the addition of one Code Enforcement Officer and supporting expenses including acquisition of a vehicle for the use of this new enforcement position ♦ Improve and Construct Sidewalks (estimated annual cost of $50,000) Upgrades and construction of sidewalks in Bremerton neighborhoods as described in Exhibit A to this Resolution ♦ Renovate, Improve, and Develop Neighborhood Parks (estimated annual cost of $400,000) Develop, renovate and improve neighborhood parks as described in Exhibit A to this Resolution $200,000 estimated to be provided by the proposed levy lid lift if voter approved with a City match of $200,000 from Real Estate Excise Tax revenues providing a total of $400,000 investment per year in neighborhood parks anticipated The following projects are planned => Warren Ave Playfield (10 17 Warren Ave ) • Replace 1954 built restroom • Safety improvements to PeeWee baseball, football & soccer field (Includes moving light poles outside play zone, energy efficient field lighting, meeting national standards for illumination level of youth baseball fields) • Picnic area & landscape improvements • Playground upgrade => Forest Ride Park (110 Summit Ave) • Trails & signage • Playground upgrade • Replace 1954 restroom • Remove excess asphalt \create park lawn => Kiwanis Park (1701 5` St ) • Landscaping • Perimeter path • Children's playground replacement • Sport courts improvements • Renovate Irngation system to reduce maintenance • Replace 1954 restroom • Improve Soccer Field Bataan Park (Sylvan & Olympus) • Landscape improvements • ADA access => 17' & Ironsides Pocket Park • Landscaping • Benches Bachmann Park (206 Shore Dr ) • Renovate view shelter => Anderson Cove • Public Beach Access\Neighborhood park land acquisition Additional Neighborhood Parks Improvements As Funding Levels Permit What will it cost? The City of Bremerton is asking for an estimated additional $3,390,000 over the next six years The City of Bremerton's current regular levy rate for collections in 2007 is $2 103159 per $1,000 of assessed valuation Utilizing estimates of assessed valuation increases for the City of Bremerton provided by the Kttsap County Assessor's Office, it is estimated that the City of Bremerton's regular property tax levy rate would be $19311 per $1,000 of assessed valuation for collections in 2008 as subject to the limitations established by RCW 84 55 010 If approved the new levy rate for 2008 will be $2 12 per $1,000 of assessed valuation This new rate will cost the owner of a median valued home in Bremerton ($190,765 per the Kitsap County Assessor) approximately $3 00 per month more than the estimated rate for 2008 City of Bremerton Proposed Property Tax Rate Increase Impacts 2007 Levy Data for Bremerton (1) Assessed Valuation for 2007 Levy Collection (in thousands of dollars) $ 2,692,388 791 Bremerton's Regular Property Tax Levy Rate per $1,000 of Assessed Value - 2007 Collection 2103159 Bremerton's Regular Property Tax Amount to be Collected in 2007 (1) Per the Krtsap County Assessors Office Statement of Assessments payable in 2007 $ 5,662,522 Estimated 2008 Levy Data for Bremerton Subject to Limitations per RCW 84.55.010 (2) Estimated Assessed Valuation for 2008 Levy Collection (in thousands of dollars) Assessed Valuation for 2007 Levy Collection (in thousands of dollars) $ 2,692,388 791 Estimated Percentage Increase (guidance provided by County Assessor - Jim Avery) X 10% Estimated Addition to Assessed Value in 2008 Based on Preliminary Data (2) 269,238 879 Added to Assessed Valuation for 2007 Levy Collection 2,692,388 791 Estimated Assessed Valuation for 2008 Levy Collection (in thousands of dollars) $ 2,961,627 670 Estimated Levy Amount for 2008 Levy Collection (subject to limitations of RCW 84 55 010) Bremerton's Regular Property Tax Amount to be Collected in 2007 $ 5,662,522 Multipled by 101% - 1% Increase Limit per RCW 84 55 010 X 101% 5,719,147 Estimated 2008 Bremerton Regular Property Tax Levy Rate per $1,000 Assessed Value $ 19311 ($5,719,147 divided by $2 961 627 670) (2) Per the Krtsap County Assessor - Ematled preliminary assessment data updates at the City's request - 711212007 Excludes new construction which will add to the total levy amount to be collected at the prior year's levy rate Proposed Levy Lift to $2.12 per $1,000 of Assessed Value in 2008 Proposed 2008 Levy Rate per $1,000 of Assessed Value Subject to Voter Approval $ 21200 Less Estimated 2008 Levy Rate per $1,000 of Assessed Value subject to limitations of RCW 84 55 010 19311 Net Increase in Levy Rate per $1,000 of Assessed Value Estimated If Approved $ 01889 "Typical City of Bremerton Residential Property Impacts" Typical City of Bremerton Residential Property (median assessed value - thousands of dollars) $ 190 765 Multiplied by the Estimated Net Increase in Levy Rate per $1,000 of Assessed Value if Approved X $ 01889 Estimated Annual Financial Impact of Proposition if Approved on a Typical Residential Property $ 3604 Estimated Monthly Financial Impact of Proposition if Approved on a Typical Residential Property $ 300 Total Estimated Annual Additional Property Tax Revenue Generated Estimated Assessed Valuation for 2008 Levy Collection (in thousands of dollars) $ 2,961,627 670 Multiplied by the Estimated Net Increase in Levy Rate per $1,000 of Assessed Value if Approved X $ 01889 Calculated Amount Based on Preliminary Data $ 559,451 Rounding Factor and Adjustment for Likely Estimate Variances on New Construction /Assessed Valuation Changes (3) 5,549 Preliminary Estimate 2008 Total Property Tax Revenue Increase if Proposition Approved $ 565,000 (3) Estimates of Assessed Valuation changes for 2008 based upon Krtsap County Assessor suggestions Emaded preliminary assessment data updates at the City's request 711212007 Preliminary assessed value updates did not include new construction or commerical trending 10% increase was recommended to factor in these items Preliminary increases excluding these items was 8 8% per the Assessor In consideration of the potential variability of this estimate the estimated revenue was rounded up to $565,000 for purposes of determining the reasonable level of additional revenues expected to be received by the City if the levy Eft is approved by the voters City of Bremerton Neighborhoods Now!

Bremerton's neighborhoods FUNDING PLAN For Phase I ♦ Propose to seek voter approval for a Levy Lift increasing the levy rate by an additional $0 1889 per $1,000 of Assessed Valuation This would impact an average residential property owner in Bremerton with an additional cost per year of $36 00 (based on assessor's most recent median home valuation of $190,765 in Bremerton) Using the Assessor's office current estimates of total assessed valuation in Bremerton for collection in 2008, this provides the City approximately $565,000 in the first year and would then increase each year thereafter as allowed by RCW 84 55 (1 % increase limit) through the remaining five years of the levy lid lift ♦ Federal & State grants will be pursued The nature of the programs makes them eligible for a variety of potential funding assistance The City of Bremerton has been very successful in seeking and obtaining grant funding for revitalization programs However, for purposes of financial planning there is currently not enough information available to determine how much funding the City can reasonably expect to receive for these programs ♦ The City Administration is proposing that REET Funds in the amount of $200,000 per year for the five years of the plan be earmarked to "match" the portion of the levy lift that will fund Neighborhood Revitalization Capital Projects This leverages the property tax increase dollars to provide significant improvements to neighborhood parks, playgrounds, and sidewalks Combined, this provides an average estimate of $765,000 per year for the six years of the initiative — or $4,590,000 total for the six year program For Phase II ♦ It is proposed that the City Council enact a Transportation Benefit District in accordance with the recently passed legislation — HB 1856 and impose a surcharge on Motor Vehicle Excise Tax, levied on vehicles in the City A full scale public outreach program is proposed to ensure community support for this action Proposed car tab fee would be $20 /per vehicle and is estimated to provide approximately $800,000 per year in revenues for the City of Bremerton's local street improvement program ♦ The City Administration is proposing that BEET Funding be earmarked for the Street Fund in the amount of $300,000 /year for the five years of the plan ♦ It is also proposed that the General Fund support of the Street Fund be held steady at the current adopted 2007 budget level (at a minimum) for the duration of the Neighborhood Revitalization Plan — which would be $600,000 /year ♦ Fuel Tax revenues that are currently supporting the Street Fund are expected to remain at least at the current level of $630,000 /year ♦ Parking Tax revenues that currently support the Street Fund are expected to remain at least at the current level of $300,000 /year ♦ Federal & State grants will be pursued The nature of the programs makes them eligible for a variety of potential funding assistance The City of Bremerton has been very successful in seeking and obtaining grant funding for revitalization programs However, for purposes of financial planning there is currently not enough information available to determine how much funding the City can reasonably expect to receive for these programs Combined, this provides a total of $2,630,000 /year of local street and sidewalk funding to cover Phase II projects — or $15,780,000 total for the six year program 1 NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION INITIATIVE A six year plan to invest $40 million in Bremerton's neighborhoods � S FUNDING PLAN (continued) For Phase III The boardwalk design and construction budget (Governmental Portion — excluding the Wastewater Utility portion) is currently estimated to be roughly $12,745,000 from 2008 through 2010 In addition, the previously prepared initial estimate for the Port Washington Trail (bridge to bridge trail) was $6 5 million The scope will likely be different today than the scope that this estimate was based upon - due to the subsequent plans related to the Evergreen Park expansion and the Boardwalk Project For now, though, this estimate is likely in the right ballpark on what would be needed Funding for Phase III will come from a combination of significant Federal and State Grant Funding, City BEET, Public Donations, and probable additional City contributions from the General Fund Combined, this provides a total investment of $19,245,000 in the six year period for Phase III projects 2 r Pagel of 2 Lori Smith From HELEN MILLER [helegeor @prodigy net] Sent Wednesday, August 01, 2007 11 05 AM To City
