PUBLIC RECOGNITION
Richard Huddv announced on behalf of owners Mark Camp and Sally Ann Carey that a "sofY'
opening of their new Irish Restaurant the Bualadh Bos Public House located at 2712 15th Street
(close to Hi-Lo's 15th Street Cafe)will be on Friday, July 17 at 3:00 PM.
Vern LaPrath would like to see a law that would allow the City to ban fireworks during certain
extreme conditions; would also like to see a petition started to bring a buffet-style restaurant
similar to Golden Corral to locate in one of the many empty buildings along Wheaton Way; and
looks forward to speed bumps soon to be installed on Halverson Street. Mr. Lubovich
announced that he is almost finished drafting an ordinance that would allow the City in the
future to ban fireworks when emergency conditions exist.
Fire Chief AI Duke started out by saying that even the Governor couldn't ban fireworks this
year; and that he sent language to the State in hopes of assisting them to get the law changed;
and then provided a briefing on 911 calls and responses from the 4`h of July.
Gale Gillespie commented on the traffic he observed on his way to the meeting tonight being
backed up all the way down Washington Avenue; and also commented that he had an
opportunity to watch the new $80,000+ lawn mower recently purchased by the Parks
Department, and stated the City is getting "more than its money's worth".
Patrick Kerber expressed his concern about the problems caused by fireworks every July 4'h,
and was particularly concerned that the CenCom system was down for approximately 20-
minutes with only a recording that stated "all circuits were busy and to try the call again later",
then was put on hold for another 15-minutes before an operator finally answered his call; and
then no one ever arrived in response to his reported concern. He would very much like to see
the City of Bremerton ban fireworks altogether. Mr. Wheeler offered to sit down with Mr.
Kerber and representatives from CenCom to learn what happened; but Mavor Lent added that
she forwarded Mr. Kerber's concern to the Executive Director of CenCom and if he doesn't
receive a timely or satisfactory response, to please contact her directly.

area to abate slum and blight conditions, improve the city through capital projects, and

eligible to receive 15% of the City's CDBG allocation.
2. Maintain HOME priorities city-wide to improve housing stock.
3. Renew the slum and blight designation and target 10% of the funds so that vacant and
deteriorating buildings (federally defined as "slum and blight") can be abated.
4. Publish a "Request for Proposals" in September requesting capital project(s) which will
improve the city within the target area, provide economic development to low-to-
moderate income Bremerton residents, and abate slum and blight conditions.
5. Select appropriate project(s) that will meet a CDBG national objective and publish
selected project(s) in the city's "Action P{an".
6. Determine whether Section 108 should be utilized as a financing tool selected by the
City to aid in the economic development process.

SUMMARY: The Pavement Preservation Project constructed an overlay of Trenton Avenue between
Cascade Trail and Holman Street, and on Marine Drive between Kitsap Way and Dora Avenue. The
project was initiated in 2014 but completed in 2015 since the paving could not be completed during
the winter months. Due to the deteriorated condition of the existing surfaces, additional materials
were used beyond bid quantities. This proposed Change Order reconciles final quantities used with
the project, and addresses the additional necessary work.

PAVEMENT PRESERVATION—

CHANGE ORDER N0.2
COUNCIL SUMMARY
Background
The City executed the contract with Lakeside Industries on 8/28/14 to overlay Trenton Avenue from
Cascade Trail to Holman Street,and to overlay Marine Drive from Kitsap Way to Dora Avenue. Prior to
performing the overlay work, Lakeside identified concerns with both the uneven surFace of the
roadways,and the physical condition of the surfaces, and advised the City that a few of the quantities
would need to increase for them to provide the specified minimum 1.5-inch overlay. On 4/28/15,the
City executed Change Order No. 1 for$44,778 to address these concerns. It should be noted that
Lakeside recommended the City perForm a "pre-level"of both roads; however,this was not pursued due
to cost.
Requested Change Order No.2
In paving Trenton Avenue,the contractor installed 495.6 tons of asphalt rather than the 435 tons of
material that was estimated. The increase was due to the uneven road profile where the low spots
required more asphalt than estimated,and the requirement to provide a minimum thickness of 1.5-
inches while constructing a smooth final grade. There were similar issues with the overlay of Marine
Drive; however,the additional asphalt cost was largely off-set by the use of less crushed rock in the
shoulders of the road. A significant component of the additional cost is additional asphalt used both for
dig-outs and repair of failed asphalt on Trenton Avenue,and the asphalt installed to transition between
the new ADA ramps and the roadway which was not captured in the estimated quantity. Finally,there
were issues related to field fitting the ADA ramps as specified that impacted the ability to construct the
ramps at Cascade Trail. Criteria was provided to the contractor; however, due to a lack of survey and
design an inappropriate specification was made, and the contractor spent significant efforts trying to
come up with a configuration that would work, before the specification was revised. The total cost of all
items that comprise Change Order 2 total$26,094.90.

RE: City of Bremerton Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC) Recommendations

Appropriate uses for funding are specified in RCW 67.28 which include marketing,tourism promotion,
and operating expenditures related to tourism promotion. Tourists are defined as those who travel
more than 50 miles. Cities may use the funds for the same purposes as non-profit organizations as
well as capital expenditures related to tourism.
After reviewing the applications and holding interviews with each of the applicants,the committee
discussed and reached consensus on its recommendations to City Council. These recommendations
are subject to Council review and approval. City Council may only fund organizations listed in the
recommendations,and can only accept or reject funding for each of the applicants. Lastly,these
recommendations are based on the assumption that adequate revenue will be available to meet
contract obligations.

Councilman Davis,
I understand there was discussion at the Study Session on Wednesday night about the outcome of the Lodging Tax
funds. I collect worksheets from each entity at the end of the year and report the information to the JLARC(Joint
Legislative Audit& Review Committee).
Here is a link to the JLARC report they compiled from the information for 2014:

When you click on the+button next to Bremerton, it will expand to show the information by entity.
The reports are due by March 15`h for the year previous. JLARC then compiles the information. I am more than happy to
forward the link to the report for 2015 when it is ready in 2016.
I hope this helps Council Members to make an informed decision on whether to approve or reject the recommended
Lodging Tax funds for 2016.

Tourism Industry and Local Governments
Introduction
Tourism is Washington's fourth largest industry.This is reflected in the increasing dollars generated for the economy
and the heightened interest local communities have in developing a tourist industry.Some general observations
about the characteristics of tourism in Washington counties are presented in Dean Runyan Associates'Washington
State.Regional and County Travel Impacts(http://www.deanrunyan.com/impactsWAstate.htmll.
This page addresses local planning for tourism,tourism programs of Washington local governments,and
mechanisms to finance tourism activities.For information on Lodging Tax(Hotel-Motel Tax)see MRSC page L in
Tax�Hotel-Motel Taxl(/Home/Explore-Topics/Finance/Revenues/Lod�ing-Tax-(Hotel-Motel-Tax).asbxl.The page
outlines what you need to know about lodging tax and 2013 legislative changes.
Planning for Tourism �
Tourism planning requires strong local support.Communities must be willing to cater to tourists and provide settings
and experiences that are attractive to the traveling pubtic.The community should have amenities,attractions,and/or
destinations around which to build a tourism strategy.Tourism expert Roger Brooks emphasized the importance of
catering to visitors in his remarks at a planning conference:
• Gluality is more important than money-but visitors still expect value
• Convenience is mandatory
• Curb appeal is critical:it can be a primary drawing card...or a detractor
• C�luality:accommodations,dining,shopping,attractions
• Pedestrian-oriented activities
• Things to see and do:are they convenient?
• Available visitor services

provides resources for local governments to use in developing cultural and heritage tourism.It includes local
examples of cultural events,tours,and communities that have capitalized on their historic heritage.

the places and activities that authentically represent the stories and people of the past and present.It includes
irreplaceable historic,cultural and natural resources"The NTHP identified five principles to guide the combining of
heritage and tourism:collaborate;find the fit between a community or region and tourism;make sites and programs
come alive;focus on authenticity and quality of experience;and preserve and protect resources.See NTHP Cu tural

Lodging Tax (Hotel-Motel Tax)
What is the Lodging Tax?
The Lodging tax,also referred to as the hotel-motel tax,is a consumer tax on lodging charges for periods of less than
30 consecutive days for hotels, motels, rooming houses, private campgrounds, RV parks,and similar facilities.
How Can the Lodging Tax Revenues Be Used? ,
The guiding principle for the use of lodging taxes is that they must be used for activities,operations and expenditures
designed to increase tourism.Specifically,lodging taxes can be used for:
• Tourism marketing;
• Marketing and operations of special events and festivals designed to attract tourists;
• Operations and capital expenditures of tourism-related facilities owned or operated by a municipality or a public
facilities district;or
• Operations of tourism-related facilities owned or operated by nonprofit organizations.(RCW 67.28.1816
(http://a�p.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.asox?cite=67.28.1816))
Note that,as of July], 2013, capital expenditures for tourism-retated facilities owned by nonprofit organizations are
no longer permitted expenditures of lodging tax funds.
If you are considering using lodging tax revenues to fund staff support of the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee,see
MRSC's blog post l/Home/Stay-Informed/MRSC-Insight/August-2014/Using-Lodging-Taxes-for-Staff-Support-
of-LTAC-(Uqd.aspxl on the topic.
What is Included in Tourism Marketing and Operations? .
It indudes activities defined as"tourism promotion"in state law.(RCW 67.28.080
�htt •q.//��.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=67.28.080))
• Advertising, publicizing,or otherwise distributing information for the purpose of attracting and welcoming tourists;
• Developing strategies to expand tourism;
• Operating tourism promotion agencies;and
• Funding the marketing or operation of special events and festivals designed to attract tourists.
What is a"Tourism-Related Facility"?
A tourism-related facility is a real or tangible personal property with a usable life of three or more years,or
constructed with volunteer labor that is(a)owned by a public entity,nonprofit organization(including a non-profit
business organization,destination marketing organization,main street organization,lodging association,or chamber
of commerce)and(b)used to support tourism, performing arts,or to accommodate tourist activities. RCW
67 28 080(httq�//aRp leg�wa�ov/rcw/default aspx�cite=67 28 0801)
What I<inds of Facilities Does this Include?
It depends.The guiding principle here is that the facilities should be used by tourists.So,for example,a municipal , _ .
golf course would likely be a permitted expenditure in Chelan,where it probably would not be if it were in a
residential neighborhood in Spokane. Each situation is unique.
Applications for Lodging Tax Funds
In counties or cities of at least 5,000 population,applications must be submitted directly to the lodging tax advisory
committee(LTAC). In counties or cities of less than 5,000,applications are submitted to the county or city.The law is
silent on how often the awards should be made.Some jurisdictions choose to make awards as part of their annual
budget cycle.Others also make mid-year awards to account for unexpected increases or decreases in projected
revenue.
Who Must Apply?
• Convention and visitors bureaus;
• Destination marketing organizations;
• Nonprofits, induding main street organizations,lodging associations,or chambers of commerce;
• Municipalities-The State Auditor's Office is interpreting the law to mean that all users of funds, including
municipalities,are considered applicants and must fotlow relevant application procedures.So,cities and counties
should submit applications for their own projects to the LTAC. , ,
What is Included in the Application? '
All applications must indude estimates of how funding the activity will result in increases to people staying overnight,
travelling 50 miles or more,or coming from another state or country.To ensure this data is collected,jurisdictions
should require this information on their lodging tax application forms.
There is no requirement that priority for funding be given to appticants expected to generate the most travelers,and
lodging tax revenue may still be awarded to recipients who generate few of these types of travelers. �

Review and Selection of Applications
In a municipality of at least 5,000 population,the LTAC receives all applications for lodging tax revenue and
recommends a list of candidates and funding levels to the municipality's legislative body for final determination.If a
municipality under 5,000 chooses to establish a LTAC,they may, but do not have to,follow these requirements.
What Does the Municipality Do with the LTAC's Recommendations?
The legislative body"may only choose recipients from the list of candidates and recommended amounts provided
by the local lodging tax advisory committee."However,a city or county does not have to fund the full list as
recommended by the LTAC and can choose to make awards in the recommended amounts to all,some,or none of
the candidates on this list.The selected recipients must be awarded the amounts recommended by the LTAC.
Contracts with Recipients of Lodging Tax Funds
Because of the state constitutional gift of public funds prohibition,a city or county should enter into a contract with
any private organization providing marketing services,operating special events or festivals,,or any other tourist
promotion activity.The contract should spell out the tourism-related services to be provided in exchange for city or
county funding and what reports will be required.Also,any organization doing promotion on behalf of the city or
county may only spend lodging tax funds on items that the city or county itself could fund.This prohibits,for
example,any expenditures on promotional hosting.

Reporting Requirements
• All recipients of todging tax revenue, regardless of what the revenue is to be used for, must submit a report to the
municipality describing the actual number of travelers generated.
• Municipalities should,as part of their contract with recipients, require that the report be provided immediately
after the event or activity.
• The municipality must make the report available to the public,the local legislative body,the local LTAC members,
and the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Committee(JLARC).
• Municipal reporting to JLARC will begin with calendar year 2014. The deadline for filing is March 15th.
� JLARC has deve[oped a web-based submission and re�rting tool(http•//walodgdatacolt netlfor use in reporting
expenditures and tourism numbers that requires an user account and tog-in routine.
• JLARC will not be providing advice on how to estimate tourism impacts.Good faith estimates of actuals can be
reported provided applicants and users of funds indicate how those estimates will be developed.All information
(including descriptions of how actual impacts were estimated)will be available for public review.
• JLARC can be contacted for technical issues associated with the reporting portal by emailing ilarcoleg.wa.gov

Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC)
• This committee must have at least five members,appointed by the governing body. '
• The committee membership must include at least two representatives of businesses that are required to collect
the lodging tax,at least two people who are involved in activities that are authorized to be funded by this tax,and
one elected city official who serves as chairperson of the committee.The statute aLso provides that a person who
is eligible under the first category is not eligible for appointment under the second category,and vice versa.
• Organizations representing hotels and motels and organizations involved in activities that can be funded by this
tax may recommend people for membership.
• The number of committee members from organizations representing the hotels and motels and the number from
organizations involved in activities that can be funded must be equal. � ,
• A city's committee may include a non-voting elected county official and vice-versa.
• The governing body must review the membership of the committee annually.
In addition to reviewing applications$or the use of the lodging tax, what does the committee do?
Any proposal to impose a new lodging tax,raise the rate of an existing tax, repeal an exemption from the lodging tax,
or change the use of the tax proceeds,must be submitted to the lodging tax advisory committee for review and
comment.
• This submission must occur at least 45 days before final action will be taken on the governing body's proposal.
Even if the committee finishes its work before the 45 days are up,the governing body still must wait 45 days.
• The committee's comments must indude an analysis of the extent to which the proposal will accommodate
activities for tourists or increase tourism,and of the extent to which it will affect the long-run stability of the fund
to which the hotel-motel taxes are credited.
• If the advisory committee does not submit comments before the time that final action is to be taken on the
proposal,the governing may go ahead and take final action.

What Are the Tax Rates?
Any county and most cities may impose a"basic"two percent tax under RCW 67.28.180
(http://app.leg.wa.�ov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=67.28.180)on al!charges for furnishing lodging at hotels, motels,and
similar establishments(including bed and breakfasts and RV parks)for a continuous period of less than one month.
This tax is taken as a credit against the 6.5 percent state sales tax,so that the total tax that a patron pays in retail sales
tax and the hotel-motel tax combined is equal to the retail sales tax in the jurisdiction.In most cases,when a city and
county both impose this tax,there is a credit for the amount of the city tax against the county tax so that two taxes
are not levied on the same taxable event.
In addition,most counties and cities may levy an additional tax of up to two percent,for a total rate of four percent,
under RCW 67.28.181 (http://a�p.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=67.28.1811(1).This"special"tax is not credited
against the state sales tax.Therefore,if a counry or city levies this additional tax,the total tax on the lodging bill will
increase by two percent.
There are some exceptions established in RCW 67.28.181 (htt�://a�p.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.as�x?cite=67.28.1811(2).
RCW 67.28.181 (htt •��p.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=67.28.181�(1)stipulates that this additionat two percent
tax may be(evied as long as the total tax rate under Ch. 36.100 RCW lhttp://a�p.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?
cite=36.1001(the public facilities district tax),Ch.82.08 RCW(http://app.le�gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=82.081
(the state sales tax),Ch.82.14 RCW(httq://a�p.le�gov/rcw/default.as�x?cite=82.14)(the city,county,and transit
district sales taxes),Ch.67.28 RCW(http://a�p.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=67.281(the hotel-motel tax
chapter),and Ch.67.40 RCW(http://a�p.leg.wa.�ov/rcw/default.as�x?cite=67.40)(the convention and trade center
tax)does not exceed twelve percent.(Note that the sales tax rate for the Regional Transit Authority(Sound Transit)in
portions of I<ing, Pierce,and Snohomish counties is not included in making these calculations.)The limit for the total
rate in Seattle is 15.2 percent, because the convention center tax is higher than in the rest of the county.This means
that most cities in I<ing County may only levy a one percent tax and Seattle cannot levy any tax.
Counties(including the cities within the county)and cities that had authority to levy a"special"tax before July 27,
1997 that allowed a total rate higher than four percent, had that rate grandfathered in by the 1997 iegislation.Grays
Harbor and Pierce counties are in this category, plus Chelan, Leavenworth, Long Beach, Bellevue,Yakima,and
Winthrop.
Cities located in counties that had the authority to levy a total four percent tax county-wide before January 1,1997,
are limited to the"basic"two percent rate.This affects cities in Snohomish and Cowlitr counties.
Due to some unique circumstances,there was a period of time at the end of 1997 and beginning of 1998 when the
outstanding taxing authority was six percent, rather than the four percent the legislature intended.During this time,
Wenatchee and East Wenatchee raised their total tax to six percent.These rates were grandfathered in by the 1998
legislature.

What if we received lodging tax funds in 2014 but did not distribute
any?
jLARC discovered after the launch of the new website that there were several smaller jurisdictions that have received
lodging tax revenues but do not distibute these revenues on an annual basis.This information needs to be captured
as well and,as a result, the first question that you will see will be:
"Did you expend Lodging Tax- Yes or No?"
If you did not expend any lodging tax dollars(be sure to take into consideration any municipal projects that may have `
been funded by lodging tax)and responded with a No,you will have completed your reporting requirment to JLARC.
Adding Distribution Organizations
For the majority of local governments, it will be necessary to report distributions to local organizations.The data
entry steps include a window to add organizations that you distribute lodging tax dollars to,and, once entered intn
the system, they will be retained from year to year. .

This first year of reporting may potentially find you making a few phone calls and/or sending email inquiries to the
