SUMMARY: Approval of a point agreement between the City, City of Port Orchard, the Port of
Bremerton and Kitsap Harbor Tours for ferry service on Sundays and Holidays from Memorial
Weekend to Labor Day Weekend
Kitsap Transit, because of fiscal and union requirements, does not operate at all on Sunday's or Holiday's
This agreement, does not supplant any Kitsap Transit funding The agreement does subsidize the operation of
the boat at $146 25 /hr The contract specifies the days and hours KHT operates under this agreement KHT
charges $2 each way for adults and children over 5 which is deducted from the cost to operate the number of
hours that day The net cost (or profit) is divided equally between the three agencies
Last year the City paid $4,780 76 to Kitsap Harbor Tours and received refunds of $1,062 17 for a total net
expense of $3,718 59 Memorial and Labor Day weekends are the big draws that generate a refund back to
the agencies By having the DBA, businesses and other organizations begin to advertise now, the more likely
the ridership will increase on those Sundays affording the opportunity of a reduction in cost to the City Sales
tax generated from the Sunday /Holiday shopping should also offset the cost Additionally, it is the motivation
behind adding the Bremerton Farmers Market on Sundays at the Harborside
