property was a public nuisance and failed to take action to remedy the conditions on the site, which
included lack of water or sewer service and numerous police calls to the property regarding the
occupants. The cost charged to the revolving abatement fund for this action totaled $10,844.95,
which includes the administrative fees as specified in Rate Table C of the Bremerton Municipal Code.
The Notice of Hearing was published in the Kitsap Sun on August 2, 2014, was posted on the
property and was mailed by both regular and certified mail to the owner. Following a quasi-judicial
public hearing the Council must decide if the fees are just and reasonable, and how they should be
collected.
