Wednesday, October 24, 2018
A Study Session of the City Council of the City of Bremerton was called to order in the Council
Conference Room of the NORM DICKS GOVERNMENT CENTER, 345 6th Street, Bremerton, Washington,
Wednesday, October 24, 2018, at 5:00 PM, with Council President Eric Younger presiding. Council
Members present were Richard Huddy, Michael Goodnow, Tony Hillman, Kevin Gorman, Leslie
Daugs, and Pat Sullivan. Lori Smith, Legislative Office Manager, was present to provide staff support.
President Younger emphasized that the Study Session is open to the public, but there will be no
opportunities for input or participation; no action is anticipated except when deemed appropriate; and
the content of these items is subject to change. If approved by the Council, items will be placed on
the November 7, 2018 City Council Meeting Agenda.
A. LIMITED PRESENTATION PLANNED – The following items are budgeted items or subjects that
have been raised with the appropriate Council Committee Members:
1. Confirm Reappointment of Benjamin Burnette to the Parks & Recreation Commission
Consent Agenda
2. Update on Grant Applications with the State of Washington Department of Ecology for the
“Aquatic Weeds Management Fund” and “Freshwater Algae Program” for Kitsap Lake
Information Only
3. Salary Surveys and Recommendations for Parks Service Specialist, Street Service
Specialist; and Legal Technician; and related Budget Amendment Consent Agenda
4. CLARIFICATION OF SECTION 9.1 OF THE AGREEMENT WITH WASTE MANAGEMENT
OF WASHINGTON, INC. RELATING TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE FEE: City Engineer Tom
Knuckey explained that the Agreement with Waste Management passed by the City Council
on October 17, 2018 included the following language in Section 9.1: “The Administrative Fee
shall be used by the City for costs the City has identified from solid waste services, including
costs for contract administration, solid waste planning and management, and street
preservation and maintenance.” This language was added to Section 9.1 in error, and staff
believe it should not be included in a 10-year contract with a service provider since
expenditures from the General Fund are an internal policy matter. Currently and historically
the administrative fee is directed to the General Fund, and not associated with a specific
activity. To correct this error, staff propose to strike the last paragraph in Section 9.1 in the
final version of the agreement to be executed.
There were no questions or comments from the public…
05:22:00 M/S/C/U (Sullivan/Huddy) Move to remove the last paragraph in Section 9.1 of the
Agreement with Waste Management relating to the expenditure of the Administrative Fee.
5. Professional Services Agreement with Parametrix, Inc. for Design of the Ostrich Creek

CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 5355 amending
Bremerton Municipal Code (BMC) Chapter
3.48 entitled “Business & Occupation
Taxes”; Chapter 3.50 entitled “Utility Taxes”;
and Chapter 3.86 entitled “Administrative
Provisions for Taxes”

Department: DCD
Presenter: Jeanette Wischhoefer
Phone:
(360) 473-5298
SUMMARY: In July 2017 the Washington State Legislature passed EHB 2005. The bill seeks to
improve the business climate in the state by simplifying the administration of municipal business
licenses and B&O taxes for services performed in multiple taxing jurisdictions. There are three parts
to the bill:
1) Cities must partner with either the State Licensing system or FileLocal (Bremerton has
completed this step and is currently in implementation with FileLocal),
2) Cities must adopt new Model Ordinance for Business Licenses which establishes a
minimum license threshold, and
3) Cities must adopt changes to their codes to follow RCW 35.102.130 in regards how
service B&O revenue is taxed for businesses operating in multiple jurisdictions.
The law requires that cities adopt these code changes by January 01, 2019 in order to maintain their
local licensing authority. The proposed ordinance completes steps 2 and 3.
ATTACHMENTS: 1) Ordinance No. 5355 amending Title 3 of Bremerton Municipal Code; and 2)
October 24, 2018 Study Session Power Point Presentation
FISCAL IMPACTS (Include Budgeted Amount): The 2019 budget has been developed with the
assumed revenue loss of business license fees from the $2,000 minimum threshold for out-of-city
business licenses. The service income apportionment change will also have an impact, but without
knowing the final formula it is hard to determine; the last estimate was a tax revenue loss of
approximately $60,000.

liquidating a business when the liquidators thereof hold themselves out to the public as

listed in this section are illustrative only and are not intended to narrow the definition of
“engaging in business” in subsection (1) of this definition. If an activity is not listed, whether it

taxpayer benefits from the activity that constituted the original nexus-generating contact or
subsequent contacts.
SECTION 2. Section 3.48.077 of the Bremerton Municipal Code entitled
“Allocation and Apportionment of Income When Activities Take Place in More Than One (1)
Jurisdiction” is hereby amended to read as follows:
3.48.077 ALLOCATION AND APPORTIONMENT OF INCOME WHEN
ACTIVITIES TAKE PLACE IN MORE THAN ONE (1) JURISDICTION.
RCW 35.102.130 entitled “Allocation and apportionment of income” is hereby
adopted and incorporated by this reference as currently enacted and as hereinafter amended.
Gross income, other than persons subject to the provisions of Chapter 82.14A
RCW, shall be allocated and apportioned as follows:
Page 4 of 9
Business Licensing & Taxes
(1) Location of Activity. Gross income derived from all activities other than
those taxed as service or royalties under BMC 3.48.050(1)(g) shall be allocated to the location
where the activity takes place.
(2) Place of Delivery. In the case of sales of tangible personal property, the
activity takes place where deliver to the buyer occurs.
(3) In the case of sales of digital products, the activity takes place where
delivery to the buyer occurs. The delivery of digital products will be deemed to occur at:
(a) The Seller’s place of business if the purchaser receives the digital
product at the seller’s place of business;
(b) If not received at the seller’s place of business, the location where
the purchaser or the purchaser’s donee, designated as such by the purchaser, receives the digital
product, including the location indicated by instructions for delivery to the purchaser or donee,
known to the seller;
(c) If the location where the purchaser or the purchaser’s donee
receives he digital product is not known, the purchaser’s address maintained in the ordinary
course of the seller’s business when use of this address does not constitute bad faith;
(d) If no address for the purchaser is maintained in the ordinary course
of the seller’s business, the purchaser’s address obtained during the consummation of the sale,
including the address of a purchaser’s payment instrument, if no other address is available, when
use of this address does not constitute bad faith; and
(e) If no address for the purchaser is obtained during the
consummation of the sale, the address where the digital good or digital code is first made
available for transmission by the seller or the address from which the digital automated service
or service described in RCW 82.04.050(2)(g) or (6)(b) was provided, disregarding for these
purposes any location that merely provided the digital transfer of the product sold.
(4) If none of the methods in subsection (3) of this section for determining
where the delivery of digital products occurs are available after a good faith effort by the
taxpayer to apply the methods provided therein, then the City and the taxpayer may mutually
agree to employ any other method to effectuate an equitable allocation of income from the sale
of digital products. The taxpayer will be responsible for petitioning the City to use an alternative
method. If taxpayer and the City are unable to mutually agree on an alternative method to
effectuate an equitable allocation of income from the sale of digital products then the City may
employ an alternative method for allocating the income from the sale of digital products.
(5) For purposes of subsections (3)(a) through (c) of this section, “receive”
has the same meaning as in RCW 82.32.730.
(6) Allocation. Gross income derived from activities taxed as services and
other activities taxed under BMC 3.48.050(1)(g) (Service) shall be apportioned to the City by
multiplying apportionable income for a fraction, the numerator of which is the payroll factor plus
the service-income factor and the denominator of which is two (2).
(a) Payroll Factor. The payroll factor is a fraction, the numerator of
which is the total amount paid in the City during the tax period by the taxpayer for compensation
and the denominator of which is the total compensation paid everywhere during the tax period.
Compensation is paid in the City if:
(i) The individual is primarily assigned within the City;
Page 5 of 9
Business Licensing & Taxes
(ii) The individual is not primarily assigned to any place of
business for the tax period and the employee performs fifty (50) percent or more of his or her
service for the tax period in the City; or
(iii) The individual is not primarily assigned to any place of
business for the tax period, the individual does not perform fifty (50) percent or more of his or
her service in any city and the employee resides in the City.
(b) Service Income Factor. The service income factor is a fraction, the
numerator of which is the total service income of the taxpayer in the City during the tax period,
and the denominator of which is the total service income of the taxpayer everywhere during the
tax period. Service income is in the City if:
(i) The customer location is in the City; or
(ii) The income-producing activity is performed in more than
one (1) location and a greater proportion of the service-income-producing activity is performed
in the City than in any other location, based on costs of performance, and the taxpayer is not
taxable at the customer location; or
(iii) The service-income-producing activity is performed within
the City, and the taxpayer is not taxable in the customer location.
(c) Other Allocation Methods. If the allocation and apportionment
provisions of this subsection do not fairly represent the extent of the taxpayer’s business activity
in the city or cities in which the taxpayer does business, the taxpayer may petition for or the tax
administrators may jointly require, in respect to all or any party of the taxpayer’s business
activity, that one (1) of the following methods be used jointly by the cities to allocate or
apportion gross income, if reasonable:
(i) Separate accounting;
(ii) The use of a single factor;
(iii) The inclusion of one (1) or more additional factors that will
fairly represent the taxpayer’s business activity in the City; or
(iv) The employment of any other method to effectuate an
equitable allocation and apportionment of the taxpayer’s income.
(7) Definitions. The definitions in this subsection apply throughout this
section.
(a) “Apportionable income” means the gross income of the business
taxable under the service classifications of a city’s gross receipts tax, including income received
from activities outside the City if the income would be taxable under the service classification if
received from activities within the City, less any exemptions or deductions available.
(b) “Compensation” means wages, salaries, commissions, and any
other form of remuneration paid to individuals for personal services that are or would be
included in the individual’s gross income under the federal Internal Revenue Code.
(c) “Individual” means any individual who, under the usual common
law rules applicable in determining the employer-employee relationship, has the status of an
employee of that taxpayer.
(d) “Customer location” means the city or unincorporated area of a
county where the majority of the contacts between the taxpayer and the customer tax place.
(e) “Primarily assigned” means the business location of the taxpayer
where the individual performs his or her duties.
Page 6 of 9
Business Licensing & Taxes
(f) “Service-taxable income” or “service income” means gross income
of the business subject to tax under either the service or royalty classification.
(g) “Tax period” means the calendar year during which tax liability is
accrued. If taxes are reported by a taxpayer on a basis more frequent than once per year,
taxpayers shall calculate the factors for the previous calendar year for reporting in the current
calendar year and correct the reporting for the previous year when the factors are calculated for
that year, but not later than the end of the first quarter of the following year.
(h) “Taxable in the customer location” means either that a taxpayer is
subject to a gross receipts tax in the customer location for the privilege of doing business, or that
the government where the customer is located has the authority to subject the taxpayer to gross
receipts tax regardless of whether, in fact, the government does so.
(8) Assignment or apportionment of revenue under this section shall be made
in accordance with and in full compliance with the provisions of the interstate commerce clause
of the United States Constitution where applicable.
SECTION 3. Section 3.86.040 of the Bremerton Municipal Code entitled “When
Due and Payable – Reporting Periods – Monthly, Quarterly, and Annual Returns – Threshold
Provisions or Relief From Filing Requirements – Computing Time Periods – Failure to File
Returns” is hereby amended to read as follows:
3.86.040 WHEN DUE AND PAYABLE – REPORTING PERIODS –
MONTHLY, QUARTERLY, AND ANNUAL RETURNS – THRESHOLD PROVISIONS
OR RELIEF FROM FILING REQUIREMENTS – COMPUTING TIME PERIODS –
FAILURE TO FILE RETURNS. PAYMENT AND REPORTING PERIODS.
(1) Other than any annual license fee or registration fee assessed under
Chapter 5.02 BMC, the tax imposed by those chapters set forth in BMC 3.86.015 shall be due
and payable in quarterly installments unless otherwise specifically provided for therein. At the
Director’s discretion, businesses may be assigned to a monthly or annual reporting period
depending on the tax amount owing or type of tax. Tax payments are due on or before the last
day of the next month following the end of the assigned reporting period covered by the return.
(2) Taxes shall be paid as provided in this chapter and accompanied by a
return on forms as prescribed by the Director. The return shall be signed by the taxpayer
personally or by a responsible officer or agent of the taxpayer. The individual signing the return
shall swear or affirm that the information in the return is complete and true.
(3) Tax returns must be filed and returned by the due date whether or not any
tax is owed.
(4) For purposes of the tax imposed by Chapter 3.48 BMC, any person whose
value of products, gross proceeds of sales, or gross income of the business, subject to business

tax due on their return, and submit the return to the Director. The gross receipts, deduction
amounts and exemptions shall be entered on the tax return even though no tax may be due.

return and pay the tax or fee for the portion of the reporting period during which the taxpayer is
engaged in business activity.

Business Licensing & Taxes
(6) Except as otherwise specifically provided by any other provision of this
chapter, in computing any period of days prescribed by this chapter, the day of the act or event
from which the designated period of time runs shall not be included. The last day of the period
shall be included unless it is a Saturday, Sunday, or City or federal legal holiday, in which case
the last day of such period shall be the next succeeding day which is neither a Saturday, Sunday,
or City or federal legal holiday.
(7) If any taxpayer fails, neglects or refuses to make a return as and when
required in this chapter, the Director is authorized to determine the amount of the tax or fees
payable by obtaining facts and information upon which to base the Director’s estimate of the tax

Re: 2019 Funding Recommendations and Action Plan
On May 16, 2018, the City Council approved the 2019 CDBG / HOME Policy Plan which
outlined the funding allocation process and included CDBG rules and regulations. The Policy
Plan also allocated funding for CDBG and HOME Administration, CDBG and HOME funds
for the City’s HOME program priorities and targeted funds for the following priorities:
City-Wide Job Training Programs
Capital Funding in Target Area
City-Wide Weatherization and Minor Home Repair
All funding is allocated through a competitive application process.
The competitive application for 2019 funding was conducted through the utilization of the
online application portal Fluid Review. For 2019 funding, the Application was made
accessible online and submitted directly to City Staff. Applications were due August 17.
Received were:
5 CDBG Capital Applications
3 Non-Capital Applications (Job Training Programs, including microenterprise)
Applications were screened by City of Bremerton CDBG Administrator for completeness and
eligibility.
Each application was individually reviewed and scored by a team of Project Review
Committee (PRC) members, then interviewed, ranked and evaluated by the PRC. Through
this evaluation process the Project Review Committee developed the funding
recommendations shown in Exhibit A of the Resolution. The projects are each described in
Attachment I.
Highlights:
Recommendations for City of Bremerton CDBG funds include: job training programs
for homeless youth, critical affordable housing preservation measures for the City’s
vulnerable residents suffering from mental illness, Weatherization and Minor Home
DEPARTMENT OF
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
MEMORANDUM
Repair, Microenterprise assistance, and ADA infrastructure improvements for
sidewalks, curb ramps, and park improvements.
One City-eligible HOME application was submitted for 2019 funding, the Community
Frameworks Built in Bremerton program. This program was fully funded with the total
amount of the City’s percentage of HOME funds. The program anticipates serving 5
households.
The City released a stand-alone RFP for Weatherization and Minor Home Repair for
renters and homeowners City-wide. One applicant responded, Kitsap Community
Resources for their historically successful Weatherization and Minor Home Repair
Program.
A 30-day public comment period was opened via legal notice in the Kitsap Sun, running from
September 1st through September 30, 2018. No public comments were received during this
time period. Recommendations for awards to be funded by City of Bremerton CDBG or
HOME programs will be presented to Bremerton City Council for approval on November 7th
in a public hearing.
All funding approvals are contingent upon estimated 2019 funding from the Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD), availability of reallocated funds from previous
years, and program income. The Project Review Committee has developed funding
contingency provisions in case the City receives more or less funding than anticipated.
If approved, these funding recommendations will be submitted to HUD in the 2019 Annual
Action Plan.

Scattered-Site Housing for 44 male and female adults age 18 and over with severe, chronic mental illnesses who are able to live independently in the
community with KMHS supportive services. Clients are often vulnerable individuals who without engagement in a supportive housing program may be
homeless or at risk of homelessness, or may be evicted, incarcerated or institutionalized due to deteriorating mental health. Through KMHS housing
program and KMHS supportive services, clients are more able to maintain their stability and recovery process and thereby live successfully in the
community.
Construction of ADA Compliant Curb ramps where no ramps currently exist. Priority for will be installing curb ramps where a safety hazard exists. Input
will pursued from the City's ADA Committee.
Work will be done to remove and replace sidewalks that are in disrepair and trip hazards due to lifting, settlement, tree heave, or are otherwise broken.
Prioritization will be given to locations with the largest safety risk.
This project will renovate Evergreen Rotary Park, making it more user-friendly for people with disabilities and other population groups with limited access
to market-based recreation, including low-income families and senior citizens. Specific upgrades include: 1) New paving in parking lot drop-off area (which
is used by Access Bus Service and is currently uplifted by tree roots from hazard tree prone to large branch failure); 2. Renovated tops and seats on aging,
warped picnic tables (including increasing the number of accessible tables); 3. Installing a catch basin to divert runoff from pathways (which becomes
unusable when inundated with water during rainy months); and 4. Upgrades to non-accessible restroom fixtures (including new grab rails, flushometers,
and replacement of corroded water line).
The Be$T micro-enterprise program is designed specifically for low-income individuals and those with limited funds, who are interested in mastering the
skills necessary to start and/or expand their own business. Grant funding will allow affordable tuition and access to all. 2019 goals for Bremerton residents
include 32 businesses to be assisted and 27 new jobs to be created. BE$T is offered four times per year and is delivered in four phases:
1. Phase 1: The 2.5 hour "Business Workshop and Orientation"
2. The eight-week 20-hour basic business training class
3. A six-session development & planning program over 90 days
4. Advanced Support Groups that meet twice per month
This program aims to prove a one-day-per week, nature immersion pre-school program targeting low-income families that compliments existing
HeadStart programs. Program will provide free/reduced tuition for two-thirds of program participants while simultaneously laying a foundation for jobs
and internship development for early learning professionals in the growing forest preschool market.

Executive Summary for 2019 CDBG/HOME Action Plan
The projects identified are projects that will be carried out in the City of Bremerton’s year four Annual
Action Plan. The City’s Action Plan describes the programs, projects and activities to be undertaken with
funds to be made available during the 2019 Program Year.
The Plan identifies the relationship of the activities to the priority affordable housing, special
populations, the City’s community and economic development needs, and describes the reasons for
allocating priorities. Funds were allocated based on priority needs described in the 2016-2020
Consolidated Plan, and Bremerton City Council funding priorities. All projects funded meet the
objectives and strategies in the plan.
The City of Bremerton as an Entitlement Community receives its own allocation of CDBG funds, but its
annual HOME allocation comes through the Kitsap County HOME Consortium of which Kitsap County is
the participating jurisdiction, and serves as the lead agency.
All of the proposed projects in the 2019 Action Plan will address objectives and strategies in the 2016-
2020 Consolidated Plan, and any funding priorities set by the Bremerton City Council. The funds will be
allocated towards housing preservation for chronically mentally ill at risk of homelessness, job training
for homeless youth, weatherization and minor home repairs for renters and homeowners,
microenterprise training, critical ADA improvements to sidewalks, installation of curb rams where none
currently exist, ADA improvements to the City’s premier waterfront park, Evergreen Rotary Park, and
Planning and Administration.
These projects were selected by the City’s Project Review Committee. This committee was established
by the ‘2019 CDBG/HOME Policy plan’, and is made up of citizen volunteers, City council and planning
commission representatives, and City staff. Annually they review all requests for funding and create
funding recommendations to release to the City Council for final approval.
Projects will be monitored by CDBG staff and subrecipients are responsible for submitting quarterly
progress reports as they move through the program year. At the end of each year CDBG staff go on-site
and monitor for compliance. Annual accomplishments are submitted to HUD via the Consolidated
Annual Evaluation and Performance Report (CAPER).

Property Taxes for Collection in 2019
Study Session Date: October 24, 2018
COUNCIL MEETING Date: November 7, 2018
Department: Financial Services
Presenter: Mike Riley
Phone: (360) 473-5296
SUMMARY: Cities over 10,000 in population are allowed to raise their annual property tax collection
by either 1% or the amount of the July Implicit Price Deflator (IPD), whichever is lower. This year,
the IPD was 2.169 %.
As presented during the public hearing earlier this evening, the City is requesting the full 1% increase
to our general property tax levy over the prior year’s collection, as allowed by law. This increase,
along with the amounts anticipated for new construction, has been included in the 2019 Proposed
Budget. In addition, we are also requesting the full 1% increase to the EMS levy. The EMS amount
anticipated in the 2019 Proposed Budget includes this amount.
RCW 84.52.020 requires all taxing districts to “certify to the county legislative authority, for the
purpose of levying district taxes…the amounts to be raised” by property taxes. RCW 84.55.120
requires that the certification includes the enabling tax ordinance setting the property tax rate. These
documents must be submitted to the county by November 30, 2018.
ATTACHMENTS: Ordinance No. 5356 establishing the amount to be collected in 2019 by taxation
on the assessed valuation of taxable property within the City limits of Bremerton and setting the
property levy rate.
FISCAL IMPACTS (Include Budgeted Amount): The proposed 2019 budget anticipates passage
of this ordinance. Budgeted revenue matches the levy amounts as the total collections in recent
years closely approximate the actual amount collected. In the General Fund revenue from the
general property tax levy is $7,589,930 and the EMS levy is $1,301,697. Revenue from voter
approved levies are budgeted in Debt Service funds and include $780,000 for the 2010 Public Safety
bond and $480,000 for the 2015 Public Safety bond.

COUNCIL SUMMARY
BACKGROUND
In 2012, the City adopted a complete streets ordinance (BMC Chapter 11.12.085) with the
stated intent being to help the City better compete for federal funding for street
improvements. The complete streets ordinance essentially formalized actions the City was
already taking when planning transportation improvements; specifically to consider all users
and modes of transportation including transit, bikes, pedestrians and ADA accommodations. In
2016 the Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) implemented a complete streets grant
program, where communities with complete street ordinances may be recommended by select
agencies be considered by the TIB in a competitive process to receive grant funds for any
project of their choosing.
In 2016, staff contacted WSDOT and requested the City be nominated for funding under the
new program. Following notification from the TIB that the City was not selected, staff obtained
the scoring criteria to better understand the selection criteria, and developed the revised
Complete Streets Ordinance for consideration.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE NEW ORDINANCE
The new ordinance is crafted to formalize actions the city takes in incorporating all users and
modes in transportation improvements and allows the City to better compete for funding under
the TIB’s program and includes the following:
Vision Statement – the statement identifies the City’s vision and recognition that
complete streets are necessary to accommodate all transportation modes and all users.
Policy Statement – confirms the City will plan for and construct a transportation
network to accommodate all users, to the extent practicable.
Formalize Intergovernmental Cooperation, and Design Criteria – the intent is to ensure
the delivery of coordinated projects that are context sensitive and best practice.
Establish Performance Measures – develop metrics to measure and report on
improvements to the City’s Complete Streets infrastructure.
Project Selection Criteria – develop a metric to consider a variety of criteria including
demographics when selecting projects to move forward.
Responsibilities – define the Department of Public Works and Utilities with oversight
from the Public Works Committee as responsible to implement the Complete Streets
Policy.
Implementation of the Complete Street Program, including project evaluation metrics and
biennial reporting methodology are outlined in the attached Draft Public Works policy.

Complete Streets Program
ORDINANCE NO. 5354
AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the City of
Bremerton, Washington, repealing Section 11.12.085 BMC and
creating a new chapter, Chapter 11.10 relating to the Complete
Streets Program.
WHEREAS, on May 16, 2012, the City of Bremerton adopted Ordinance No.
5184 establishing the City’s Complete Streets policy; and
WHEREAS, in order to ensure that the City’s Comprehensive Plan vision is
implemented, further development of the Complete Streets Ordinance is necessary; and
WHEREAS, the goal of the City is to update the Complete Streets Ordinance to
incorporate Smart Growth America’s Elements of a Complete Streets Policy guidelines; and
WHEREAS, Bremerton’s Complete Streets guiding principle is to design, operate
and maintain Bremerton’s streets to promote safe and convenient access and travel for all users
including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders and people of all ages and abilities as well as
freight and motor vehicle drivers, and
WHEREAS, Bremerton’s Department of Public Works and Utilities will develop
and implement Complete Streets Policies to design, operate and maintain the transportation
network to improve travel conditions for bicyclists, pedestrians, transit and freight in a manner
consistent with, and supportive of, the surrounding community, and
WHEREAS, amending the current Complete Streets Policy into the City of
Bremerton Municipal Code also opens up additional funding opportunities and makes the City
eligible for additional grant monies; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to repeal the provisions of Section
11.12.085 of the Bremerton Municipal Code relating to Complete Streets and create a new
chapter, Chapter 11.10, relating to the Complete Streets Program; NOW THEREFORE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BREMERTON, WASHINGTON,
DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 11.12.085 of the Bremerton Municipal Code entitled
"Complete Streets” is hereby repealed in its entirety.
11.12.085 COMPLETE STREETS.
(a) The Public Works and Utilities Department will plan for, design and construct all
new City transportation improvement projects to provide appropriate accommodation for
pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, and persons of all abilities, while promoting safe operation
for all users, as provided for below.
Page 2 of 6
Complete Streets Program
(b) The Public Works and Utilities Department will incorporate complete streets
principles into: the Department’s transportation strategic plan; Bremerton transit plan;
pedestrian and bicycle master plans; intelligent transportation systems strategic plan; and other
Public Works and Utilities Department plans, manuals, rules, regulations and programs as
appropriate.
(c) Because freight is important to the basic economy of the City and has unique
right-of-way needs to support that role, freight will be the major priority on streets classified as
major truck streets. Complete street improvements that are consistent with freight mobility but
also support other modes may be considered on these streets.
(d) Except in unusual or extraordinary circumstances, complete streets principles will
not apply:
(1) To street repairs made due to utility activities or pothole repairs;
(2) To ordinary maintenance activities designed to keep assets in serviceable
condition (e.g., mowing, cleaning, sweeping, spot repair and surface treatments such as chip seal
and overlay, or interim measures on detour or haul routes);
(3) Where the Director of the Public Works and Utilities Department issues a
documented determination concluding that application of complete streets principles is not
necessary:
(i) Where nonmotorized use is not practical, is contrary to public
safety, or is prohibited;
(ii) The cost of accommodation is excessively disproportionate to the
need or probable use; or
(iii) Where other available means or factors indicate an absence of
current or future need.
(e) Complete streets may be achieved through single projects or incrementally
through a series of smaller improvements or maintenance activities over time. It is the Mayor’s
and Council’s intent that all sources of transportation funding be drawn upon to implement
complete streets. The City believes that maximum financial flexibility is important to implement
complete streets principles.
SECTION 2. A new chapter, Chapter 11.10, entitled “Complete Streets
Program” is hereby created and added to Title 11 of the Bremerton Municipal Code as follows:
CHAPTER 11.10
COMPLETE STREETS PROGRAM
11.10.010 VISION.
(a) The City of Bremerton’s vision for Complete Streets is of a community in which
all residents and visitors, regardless of their age, ability, or financial resources, can have access
to an affordable, safe, and accessible transportation system that meets or exceeds their travel
needs. The City shall seek to create a well-connected, well-balanced, local and regional
transportation system for all modes of travel including, but not limited to, walking, biking,
driving, riding public transit, delivering goods and services, and emergency response
transportation. The City recognizes that safe, comfortable, convenient travel for users of all ages
and abilities encourages the use of public rights of way and can improve the environment,
encourage physical activity and promote a vibrant, healthy, equitable, and livable community.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
REVIEW DATE:
REVISED DATE:
APPROVED
REFERENCE: BMC Chapter 11.10
PURPOSE: To establish procedures to implement the City’s Complete Streets Ordinance. To identify
metrics by which the implementation is measured, and identify reporting procedures to the Mayor, City
Council and Public at large.
POLICY: All projects proposed to be included in the City’s Capital Improvement Plan will be evaluated to
determine how well they implement the City’s Complete Streets Ordinance. Every other year, staff will
prepare a report to communicate progress in meeting the vision of the Complete Streets Ordinance.
PROCEDURE: This complete street policy applies to all phases of City transportation capital projects.
Implementation
The Complete Streets Program is implemented through the City’s Comprehensive Plan and supporting
documents including the Non-motorized Transportation Plan, the Capital Improvement Plan and in
coordination with Kitsap Regional Coordinating Council (KRCC). These plans specify the type and
location of improvements to be implemented as funding is available.
To improve the implementation of this Complete Streets policy, staff will perform the following as time
allows:
(1) Update Engineering and Construction Standards.
(2) Update code, planning or policy documents. Public Works, with cooperation from other City
Departments, shall assess whether any municipal and zoning codes, land use plans, or other
relevant documents, conflict with this program, and should amend the planning documents and
codes as appropriate to comply with the Complete Streets Program.
(3) Facilitate training opportunities on this Complete Streets Policy, and Complete Streets practices
for relevant staff. Key transportation and planning staff, including Engineers and Planners should
attend one training or workshop on Complete Streets practices, design strategies, or
implementation within one year of issuance of this policy or employment, and bi-annually there-
after.
(4) Engage the public in the selection, design, and construction of transportation projects and
implementation of the Complete Streets program ;
(5) Identify neighborhoods or communities that exhibit a history of disinvestment or underinvestment
and include this within the project selection criteria.
Project Selection Criteria
To encourage complete streets in the project selection process, the following criteria will be identified as
applicable:
(1) Historically underserved communities;
(2) Communities or areas that exhibit disparities in health;
(3) Safety;
(4) Economic benefit;
(5) Access to key destinations;
(6) Multimodal connectivity for all users;
The City shall give priority to transportation projects that benefit neighborhoods in “High Need Areas”
defined per BMC 11.10.020.
Performance Measures
Every other year beginning in 2019, staff will prepare a report to the Public Works Committee on the
performance measures listed below, and the extent of which the transportation projects undertaken within
the prior two years have met this policy. The report will be structured to evaluate projects per the
following metrics:
Health
(1) Improve Access to Park and Recreation Facilities - this will be measured by the complete streets
enhancements located within a half-mile distance of outdoor parks and recreation facilities
located within the City. Only recreation facilities that have a gym will be considered in this metric.
(2) Enhance Infrastructure Supporting Bicycling - this will be measured by the total miles of
designated shared-use paths and total miles of bike lanes relative to the total street miles
(excluding limited access highways) maintained by the City.
(3) Enhance Infrastructure Supporting Walking - this will be measured by:
(i) The total miles of paved sidewalks relative to the total street miles (excluding limited
access highways) maintained by the City;
(ii) The total miles of new sidewalk installed on streets/roadways with no sidewalk.
(4) Improve Access to Public Transportation - this will be measured by the complete streets
enhancements that are located within a quarter-mile network distance of at least one bus stop.
Access
(1) Enhance access to transportation facilities for those with disabilities - this will be measured by:
(i) The total number of curb ramps that are Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant
relative to the total number of ADA curb ramps;
(ii) The number of sidewalk obstructions removed from ADA facilities;
(iii) The length of sidewalk made accessible as a result of the complete streets enhancement.
Safety
(1) Improve the safety of transportation facilities for bikers and pedestrians - this will be measured by
the total number of bike and pedestrian accidents relative to overall vehicle accidents.
Existing Ordinance adopted in
2012 which formalized actions we
were already doing:
•Consider all users and modes
(vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians,
transit) when planning,
designing and constructing
projects
•Primary reason for adopting
original Ordinance was to be
competitive for grants
•Further policy development identified as an action
item in the City’s Comprehensive Plan
•Updates to be more competitive with grant funding:
•Vision & Policy Statements
•Formalized Intergovernmental Cooperation and Design
Criteria
•Performance Objectives, including health equity
•Project Selection Criteria
•Defined Responsibilities
•Coordinated with Implementing Policy
Complete Streets grant program:
•New in 2016, City not selected
•Up to $1M award for any complete
streets project
•Nominations by select State Agencies
and Non-profits
•Evaluated against Smart Growth
