COVID-19 Health Update
from the Kitsap Public Health District
Kitsap County will remain in Phase 3 of the Healthy Washington recovery plan for at least two more
weeks after Gov. Inslee announced a pause on phases Tuesday, May 4. This is a great opportunity for
Kitsap residents to drive down case rates and hospitalizations by getting vaccinated and continuing to
wear masks, avoid large gatherings and practice other protective measures.
Vaccines work and they are already helping to protect some of our most vulnerable community
members.About 70 percent of Kitsap residents 65 or older have now received at least one dose of
COVID-19 vaccine. The rate of cases reported in the 65-and-older age group this spring is nearly five
times lower than the rate among residents ages 15-34. Cases at long-term care facilities have also
decreased dramatically.
About 47% of Kitsap adults have received at least one vaccine. We need to increase this number to
protect people of all ages in our community and bring an end to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Vaccines are widely available in our community and appointments are no longer required at some
sites, including Kitsap Public Health District clinics. The Marvin Williams Center will host a vaccine
clinic and health fair on Saturday, May 8. Walk-ins are welcome from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. You can also book
an appointment at mwcvaccine.timetap.co. More vaccination opportunities can be found at
vaccinelocator.doh.wa.gov.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
5A – PUBLIC HEARING AND ORDINANCE NO. 5417 TO UPDATE THE SHORELINE MASTER
PROGRAM: Senior Planner Garrett Jackson presented an overview of the proposed ordinance
and amendments to the major periodic update of the City’s Shoreline Master Program (SMP). The
City participated in the optional joint review process for amending the SMP per WAC 173-26-104.
The joint review process consolidates the local and Department of Ecology’s public comment
periods, speeding up the approval process.
The Planning Commission held a Public Hearing on the draft amendments in November 2020.
Following the hearing, response to public comment and SEPA Determination, the SMP
amendments were submitted to the Department of Ecology for their Initial Determination. Ecology
has recommended approval with specific required and recommended changes as seen in
Attachments A and B. The attached Ordinance embraces all recommended and required changes
City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes
Wednesday, April 21, 2021
Page 2 of 5
and have incorporated these changes into Planning Commission’s recommendation.
Please note that if this Ordinance passes, another public hearing will immediately follow for
amendments to update the Critical Area Ordinance for consistency with the SMP updates. If this
Ordinance is denied or continued, this would impact the next public hearing. To ease in the
review, a Memorandum to City Council is added to this record which discusses changes to both
the SMP and the Critical Area Ordinance for this periodic update.
President Gorman explained the purpose of this Public Hearing is to accept public comment…
Questions and comments from the public were provided by Roy Runyon and Anna Mockler; with
responses provided by Mr. Jackson…
With no further questions or comments, President Gorman closed the hearing to the public, and
opened discussion to the Council…
6:14 Motion was made by Younger; and seconded by Simpson… Questions and comments were
provided by Younger, Simpson, Wheat, Sullivan, and Gorman; with responses provided by Mr.
Jackson, Vice President Dan Nickel with The Watershed Company, and Mayor Wheeler…
6:42 M/S/C (Younger/Simpson) Move to pass Ordinance No. 5417 to amend the Shoreline Master
Program due to the 2021 Periodic Update.
Voted in favor of Motion: Simpson, Younger, Sullivan, Gorman
Voted opposed to Motion: Wheat
Motion carried: 4-Yes; 1-No
5B – PUBLIC HEARING AND ORDINANCE NO. 5418 TO AMEND CHAPTER 20.14 OF THE
BREMERTON MUNICIPAL CODE ENTITLED “CRITICAL AREAS” TO BE CONSISTENT WITH
THE SHORELINE MASTER PROGRAM: Senior Planner Garrett Jackson presented the
proposed ordinance which amends Chapter 20.14 of the Bremerton Municipal Code (BMC) entitled
Critical Areas to be consistent with the Shoreline Master Program Update (that was passed in a
separate public hearing and Ordinance). The update topics and following sections are summarized
below:
i. Wetland Buffers. Table changes to incorporate July 2018 Department of Ecology guidance
(BMC 20.14.330(h) Wetland Buffers). The change results in slightly smaller buffers for
lower functioning wetlands, so long as wetland minimization measures are met.
ii. Buffer Flexibility. Adding flexibility for fish and wildlife habitat conservation area buffers (BMC
20.14.730). Small single-family projects of 500 square feet or less may be exempt from
having to prepare a Habitat Management Plan, though they will still need to mitigate for the
impact. Further, projects that cannot accomplish fish and wildlife conservation area buffers
may request for a departure from prescribed buffers, so long as the mitigation proposal is
agreed to by two state or federal resource agencies or tribes and can demonstrate equal or
greater critical area protection.
Please note that this effort to update the Critical Area regulations are based off the Shoreline
Master Program update. Much the effort (including the Planning Commission process) and
further analysis is described in the SMP Public Hearing Ordinance, which is not repeated here.

MUNICIPAL CODE TO SIMPLIFY STREET FUND BUDGETING & RELATED BUDGET

SUMMARY: The City of Bremerton water utility collects about 1300 routine and investigative water
and soils samples each year in compliance with state and federal regulations and to ensure it is
providing safe, clean drinking water to customers. Periodically, regulatory agencies may require
additional targeted sampling such as required under EPA’s Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring
Rule based upon emerging contaminants of concern.
Samples must be analyzed by a state-certified laboratory using state and federally-accepted
analytical methods. The vast majority of the samples are bacteriological, and to ensure that
bacteriological sample holding times are met, the laboratory must be within 30 driving miles of the
utility operations center at 100 Oyster Bay Ave N.
This 3-year agreement replaces the current outdated agreement.
ATTACHMENTS: Project summary and Professional Services Agreement that sets terms and
conditions, scope of work, and deliverables.

Basis for project: The current laboratory services professional services agreement is outdated and
requires an update.
Project Description: The City of Bremerton water utility collects about 1300 routine and investigative
water and soils samples each year in compliance with state and federal regulations and to ensure it is
providing safe, clean drinking water to customers (Figures 1 and 2 below). Periodically, regulatory
agencies may require additional targeted sampling such as required under EPA’s Unregulated
Contaminant Monitoring Rule based upon emerging contaminants of concern. Samples must be
analyzed by a state-certified laboratory using state and federally-accepted analytical methods.
Figure 1 Figure 2
Project location: City of Bremerton utility operations and distribution system, as well as, all groundwater
sources and the Union River Watershed.
Bid Solicitation: IAW BMC 2.76.040, not required for professional services. Selection criteria:
• Expediency – must be within 30 driving miles in order to receive and process bacteriological
samples which have a short holding time of 8 hours
• Comprehensive service – must be EPA/State certified to provide all needed analyses (There are
other labs that are certified for some of the scoped analyses. However, it would be
administratively challenging to manage multiple contracts, not to mention more costly, as
laboratories consistently offer discount pricing for bulk services.)
• Efficiency – must provide no-cost daily courier service to pick up samples at the Oyster Bay Ave
N facility (It would be extremely inefficient to take at least an hour of an employee’s time each day
to deliver samples; significantly longer if trying to use multiple laboratories.)
SPECTRA Laboratories – Kitsap, LLC is the only feasible option that meets these criteria.
Amount: $180,000 at $60,000 per year.
Fund: Water Utility Operations Professional Services Budget (53 4.5134 54110).
Project deadline: 3-year contract.

Exhibit A
SCOPE OF WORK FOR LABORATORY SERVICES
March 2021
Background
The City of Bremerton Water Utility (Bremerton) operates a Class A water system
serving a population of approximately 71,000. Sources include an approved unfiltered
surface supply and groundwater. Regulations require the following types of analysis:
□ Presence/absence total coliform for finished drinking water (30 hour holding time)
□ Heterotrophic plate count (8 – 24 hour holding time)
□ Total and fecal coliform density for source water (8-hour holding time)
□ Various other chemical analyses for drinking water and environmental purposes.
Laboratory Location
The laboratory location must remain less than 30 miles driving distance from the
Bremerton Water Utility Operations Center at 100 Oyster Bay Ave. N. Both SPECTRA
Laboratories-Kitsap, LLC locations at 26276 Twelve Trees Lane NW, Poulsbo and 1786
Mile Hill Drive, Port Orchard are acceptable.
Laboratory Availability
WAC 246-290-690(3)(j)(i) requires that Bremerton have a laboratory available seven
days per week. Although routine monitoring occurs predominantly during regular
business hours (7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday), there may be times
that Bremerton needs to have bacteriological samples analyzed on Saturdays,
Sundays, and holidays. Therefore, on-call availability must be provided on all
weekends and holidays.
On-call availability is waived if, for logistical reasons outside either Bremerton’s or
SPECTRA’s control, the sample cannot be analyzed. Extreme weather, power outages,
and other similar emergencies fall into this category
Analytical Procedures
Appropriate, approved analytical procedures meeting state and federal drinking water
regulatory requirements will be used.
Certification Required
All analyses for drinking water compliance must be performed by a laboratory certified
by the State of Washington.
Quality Control
A copy of the latest laboratory quality assurance plan will be provided to Bremerton.
Quality control documentation for chemical procedures will be sent with sample results.
Page 10 of 15
Bremerton/SPECTRA Laboratories-Kitsap, LLC
Environmental Water and Soil Analyses
Rev. 06/2020
Sample Containers and other Materials Required for Sampling
All sample containers and materials required for sampling will be supplied by the lab
and will be properly prepared for the particular analysis requested.
Bremerton will supply pre-printed sample information slips for bacteriological samples.
Sample Transport
Monday through Friday courier sample pick-up at the City’s Water Utility Operations
Center at 100 Oyster Bay Ave N must be provided at no extra cost. Depending upon
circumstances, Bremerton may also choose to hand deliver samples. Samples must be
kept below 10o C during transit.
Bremerton will send a completed sample information slip with each bacteriological
sample or appropriate chain-of-custody for all other analyses and will inform the
laboratory of any specific requirements for testing.
Laboratory Holding Times
The laboratory will adhere to regulatory-required holding times. Note that source fecal
samples have only an 8-hour holding time. Bacterial analysis for total coliform
presence/absence samples received by the lab before 3:30 PM shall be set up the
day received.
Data Package
Bacteriological sample results will be delivered to Bremerton within seven calendar days
of sample receipt by the laboratory and all results must be received for the previous
month by the 6th day of the next month.
Chemical sample results will be delivered to Bremerton within 30 calendar days of
sample receipt by the laboratory and will include:
Case narrative – sample type, sample ID, summary of any problems with the
sample, shipment, or holding times.
QA/QC Documentation – Results of relevant quality control checks initiated by
the laboratory, calibration and blanks, spike results, and instrumentation
performance.
Sample data – final results for all samples.
For drinking water regulatory samples - report all data to Washington State
reporting limit.
Notification
Bremerton will provide the laboratory with a procedure for notifying the City about
samples or changes in hours. The laboratory will provide to Bremerton a procedure for
contacting the laboratory during regular business hours and for weekend, holiday, and on-
call laboratory services.
Page 11 of 15
Bremerton/SPECTRA Laboratories-Kitsap, LLC
Environmental Water and Soil Analyses
Rev. 06/2020
The laboratory shall notify Bremerton by phone before 4:00 pm or by 8:00 am the next
day when any distribution coliform sample is presence for total coliform or E. coli.
This message must be transmitted to a Water Resources Division employee, not left on
an answering machine.
The laboratory will provide Bremerton a minimum of 7-day notice when its regular
business hours are changed due to holidays, staff availability, or other similar reasons.
This does not affect the requirement for on-call laboratory service, and the laboratory
will still be required to provide on-call laboratory services. The laboratory will give as
much notice as possible when it will not be open for regular business hours due to an
emergency. The lab shall notify Bremerton as early as possible after 7:30 am of such a
laboratory closure. In emergency instances when it is not possible or safe for personnel
to get to the laboratory (such as for inclement weather), the requirement for on-call
laboratory service is waived.

Chapter 6.32 – Noise Levels
ORDINANCE NO. 5420
AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the City of
Bremerton, Washington, amending Chapter 6.32 of the
Bremerton Municipal Code entitled “Noise Levels.”
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to amend and update Chapter 6.32 of the
Bremerton Municipal Code, relating to noise levels; NOW THEREFORE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BREMERTON, WASHINGTON,
DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Chapter 6.32 of the Bremerton Municipal Code entitled "Noise
Levels" is hereby amended to read as follows:
Chapter 6.32
NOISE LEVELS
6.32.010 POLICY AND APPLICATION.
(a)It is the policy of the City to minimize the exposure of citizens to the
physiological and psychological effects of excessive noise and to protect, promote and preserve
the public health, safety and welfare. It is the express intent of the City Council to control the
level of noise in a manner which promotes commerce; the use, value and enjoyment of property;
sleep and repose; and the quality of the environment.
(b)The following environments have been identified and approaches adopted:
(1)Use of property. The different zoning districts of the City establish lawful
uses which can be anticipated to produce noise at certain reasonable levels associated with these
uses. The provisions of BMC 6.32.030 utilize thresholds consistent with those set forth in
Chapter 70.107 RCW entitled “Noise Control” and Chapter 173-60 WAC entitled “Maximum
Environmental Noise Levels” and recognizing that decibel intervals are increased exponentially
with each ten MHz of noise generation. The use of property is better suited to the use of noise
measuring devices because use is consistent and can be measured at the property line from the
property of the complainant. Intermittent noises and noise generated for the purpose of
annoyance is more sporadic in nature and requires a different approach. The provisions of BMC
6.32.050 entitled “Public Disturbance Noises” are aimed at those situations which are difficult or
impossible to address through measurement pursuant to BMC 6.32.030 entitled “Environmental
Sound – Maximum Permissible Levels”. In administering and enforcing the provisions of this
chapter, the City desires to coordinate the application of these two approaches. The content of
the speech shall not be considered against any person in determining a violation of this Chapter.
(2)Similarly, public uses of the rights-of-way, such as parades, and First
Amendment speech such as a lawful demonstration should be differentiated from pure
commercial speech. Pure commercial speech has been defined by the US Supreme Court as
speech “which does no more than propose a commercial transaction.” Such speech while
protected is susceptible of regulation provided that the City address the legitimate public concern
of noise pollution in a thoughtful and targeted manner.

Chapter 6.32 – Noise Levels
(3) Finally, the City recognizes that the use of bells, chimes and carillons may
constitute a call to worship and accordingly such a use is protected as religious speech under the
First Amendment. In addition, the historic use of a carillon by the City of Bremerton is an
established historical use appropriate within the zone in which it is located. These noises are
appropriate when limited by reasonable time, place and manner restrictions.
(c) The provisions of this chapter shall be administered and enforced by the
Administrator defined in BMC 6.32.020(a) below.

To Whom it May Concern.
Noise Ordinance Dispute.
Society has become a bit of a traveling carnival today. Absence of Noise is really a thing
of the past. Being confined to an area during Covid has taught me to be aware of and
welcome the Noise. We welcome the sound with open arms. Being here in Kitsap
County its majority is a Navy town made up of vets and sailors. You know the
expression, “Curse like a Sailor”. The Constitution under the Bill of Rights gives us the
right to listen to what we want without the intrusion of someone who may or may
not dislike what we are surrounding ourselves with. The laws protect our communities.
As that may be, I think it is important to Understand that Obstructing Noise can lead to
more and more problems and even offend those who know what they can and cannot
do as a citizen of this Nation. I live in a high traffic zone, so vehicles are loud Monday
thru Friday 4:30 am - 7:30 pm, the military base normal operating hours.
These individuals are just going about their day normally with nothing to worry about. If
someone lives in a high traffic area and repeatedly calls 911, falsely reporting a crime, it
is a felony, I may add. If someone does not like noise, why move to or continue to live in
the bustling city where you are going to get noise all day every day. Downtown Navy
base gates are loud because they must be. If someone lives near this noise and decides
to repel it peacefully by listening to a Bluetooth Speaker like Altec Lansing or JBL (etc.)
little devices, I say let them listen, it’s their American God given Right. For those using
illegal exhaust pipes, well I do see it here and there, but they only make sound around
me or others for about 4.5 Seconds so nothing to worry about. We have to decide what
we want our future generations to remember us by. Did we stand by the constitution o r
did we betray our lady of liberty. With that being said, if you violate local sign laws I see
no reason as to why someone shouldn’t receive a ticket. I believe We the Residents of
America and the state of Washington and Kitsap have a right to what everyone else is
listening too. If the music is not on a Banned List, nobody should Complain. If the City
receives 911 calls because the music bothers them, oh well that’s life. If you don’t like it,
move away or be put in iron chains for being a part of the problem and not the solution.
Furthermore, to conclude, a disturbance should include one or more of the following:
A party with more than 10 individuals being loud after hours or before 4:30am for
military base zones or 6am for residential zones as it is normal American hours to get up
by 6am Monday-Friday. Weekends should be 8am to 10pm. I say without a doubt the
police or 911 should hang up on someone calling a false report and send a unit to give a
warning to the individual for not finding something better to do with their time. If
enough warnings have been given to the caller, arrest the 911 caller for reporting a false
crime. I say let that echo in society. The 911 responders have actual criminals to catch
with rap sheets a mile long. These are my observations, conclusions, and
recommendations based on my numerous encounters at the Naval Avenue gate.
Sincerely, Joseph Timothy Redal

Subject: Noise Ordnance Amendment
Hi Council member
I am in support of the amendment as proposed tonight.
My concern is that there is a lack of understanding as to what legal fireworks are. Are the loud sticks of
explosives or morton's that shake the ground exempt? As seen on page 5 of 9? If so the Ordnance does
little to deal with the random bombs that seem to go off around the fourth and new years. These are
clearly not in compliance with the State fireworks laws.
I am looking forward to leaving Washington State in the future but I have to stay here for work until I'm
old enough to retire. Until then I live in fear of noise and illegal fires that people burn in our area.
Headphones cannot cancel the scope of the sound as they are as loud as the small rocket attacks I
experienced. It's not a pleasant place to live. I also apologize for having PTSD from my time in Iraq and
other work that impacted me. If I had known it would impact me I would have not gone there.
I won't be able to make the public comment part of the meeting but would like my voice heard.
Thank you
Edward
Michael Goodnow's district

G'day,
This is a copy from my Facebook page addressing the issue of the "so
called" public comments regarding the changes to the noise ordinance. I
think it covers everything.
Thanks,
Mark Satterthwait:
"[UPDATE] My apologies, to any and all, especially those not from Beautiful
Bremerton WA., and maybe to some of those that are; but it has just come
to my attention that the Bremerton City Council is opening up “public
comment” on a noise ordinance that COULD EFFECT LIVE MUSIC in the
city of Bremerton – TODAY.
LIVE MUSIC - in the city of Bremerton – TODAY!
We’ve just gotten through a year, and then some, without live music,
I’d hate to see that become the norm. But here’s the deal, not only are
they rushing this through without the proper “public” notification, as far as
I can tell, they’ve pulled the actual Ordinance No. 5420 [To Repeal and
Replace Chapter 6.32 of the Municipal Code] from the very packet in which
they’re announcing the “public comments”!
How the HECK are you supposed to comment on something you can’t
even read? What’s going on? Is it a good thing or… If anybody knows,
please let me know. The City Council meeting is scheduled for 5:30
TODAY, 5/5 – it’s a ZOOM meeting, but you can email the City Council at
City.Council@ci.bremerton.wa.us. They will apparently be deciding the
issue, whatever the HECK the issue is, on the 19th. …be sure to mention
the lack of information on their website and maybe add that the Noise
Police should at least be armed with actual Decibel Meters [currently they
are not – and have mostly been relying on peoples complaints; especially
one women.
This issue is not new; it started a couple years ago when ONE
WOMAN who lived near ONE VENUE [the one with weekly singer-
songwriter showcase, weekly jazz [yes, right here in Bremerton], and yes,
weekly Rock-and-roll] started calling the police, with whom she apparently
has some connection, to complain about the noise. It actually went to a
Judge who threw out the woman’s very singular complaint, and verbally
slapped her on the wrist for her whole endeavor, including, and especially,
her use of the police. The Judge at the time was not impressed.
Obviously, this singular woman knows some very Singular People,
and we now have “Ordinance No. 5420”, that nobody can read, that is
open for “public comment” TODAY!, and going to be decided on on the
19th. If you appreciate live music, ZOOM or email the heck out ‘em."

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments

To Bremerton City Council Members,
I understand that a topic of discussion at tonight’s Council meeting will be about the city noise
ordinance and a homeowner VS. Brother Don’s Restaurant. Also, I understand there will be a comment
period to discuss the pros and cons.
I would like to state, here and now, my hopes that Brother Don’s Restaurant not be restricted from
their music venue because it has been such a wonderful source for good jazz music which I, my family
and friends have had many occasions to enjoy. My husband and I had our first date there; We’ve met
some of the local jazz musicians who have entertained us well while they were also earning needed
wages. This establishment has sent in world renowned jazz artists from across the country to join with
our good local jazz greats to entertain us. Always a good draw, these events have given us wonderful
enjoyment and long-lasting memories. There are not many other Bremerton venues that have offered as
good jazz nights. It is such a positive revenue raising business that brings all forms of music
entertainment enjoyed by country, blues, and jazz buffs, alike. It is great for Bremerton’s economy.
I hope the council will take these points into consideration.
Appreciatively,
Dianna and Joseph Eversole

Cooperation Act set forth in Chapter 39.34 RCW.
WHEREAS, parties desire to execute this Agreement to memorialize the terms and conditions of
Task Force participation.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, which are incorporated herein by
reference, and mutual promises and covenants, the parties agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS
A. “Enforcement Committee” means the Traffic Safety Task Force Enforcement
Committee.
B. “General Authority Washington peace officer” shall have the meaning as defined in
RCW 10.93.020(3).
C. “Hosting agency,” means the participating agency located in the jurisdiction in which
Task Force duties are then being performed.
2
D. “Hosting agency supervisor” means the hosting agency’s assigned Task Force
supervisor(s) or designee(s).
E. “Participating agency,” or “primary commissioning agency” shall have the same
meaning as “primary commissioning agency” is defined in RCW 10.93.020(8).
F. “Specially Commissioned Washington peace officer” shall have the meaning as
defined in RCW 10.93.020(5).
2. PURPOSE. The purpose of this Agreement is to provide for the joint and cooperative
undertaking of the parties to establish, implement, and manage the Traffic Safety Task
Force emphasis patrol committed to traffic safety, including the prevention of alcohol and
other drug-impaired driving, underage drinking, speeding, distracted driving, and occupant
protection offenses through coordinated, multi-agency deterrence, and define
responsibilities as contemplated by RCW 39.34.030.
3. ORGANIZATION. No separate legal or administrative entity is created by this Agreement
nor do the parties intend to create through this Agreement a separate legal or administrative
entity subject to suit.
4. ADMINISTRATION. This Agreement shall be administered by the Traffic Safety Task
Force Enforcement Committee, which is an administrative board comprised of the Kitsap
County Sheriff and the Chiefs of Police for the cities of Bainbridge, Bremerton, Port
Orchard, Poulsbo and Suquamish or their respective designees. No participating agency is
intending to assume responsibility or liability for the actions, or failures to act, of another
participating agency and/or its respective officers, employees, and agents.
4. SCOPE. The parties to this Agreement will each provide law enforcement personnel for
Task Force emphasis operations within targeted areas as set forth in Attachment A, Traffic
Safety Task Force Emphasis Patrol Operational Guidelines, which is incorporated herein
by reference. The areas selected for targeted emphasis operations and patrol will be
determined by the Enforcement Committee.
5. EFFECTIVE DATE, DURATION, FILING. This Agreement shall become effective on
January 1, 2021 and remain in effect for five (5) years, unless terminated or extended. Prior
to its entry into force, this Agreement shall be filed with the Kitsap County Auditor’s Office
or, alternatively, listed by subject on the web site or other electronically retrievable public
source in compliance with RCW 39.34.040.
6. TERMINATION. Any participating agency may terminate its participation under this
Agreement by providing 90 days’ prior written notice to the other parties. The termination
of a participating agency will not automatically result in the dissolution of the Task Force.
A terminated participating agency assumes no responsibility for the acts or omissions
occurring after the effective termination date but shall remain liable for acts or omissions
3
occurring prior to the effective date of termination. The Task Force may be dissolved in its
entirety by unanimous agreement of all parties.
8. OPERATIONS. When Task Force emphasis operations are scheduled, the operations shall
be coordinated by an employee holding a rank of sergeant or higher from the scheduled
hosting agency. Unless an action taken by an individual assigned to participate in the Task
Force activities can be directly attributed to the direction and control of the hosting
agency’s supervisor, all actions by the individual will be considered actions by that
individual, acting under the direction and control of that individual’s primary
commissioning agency according to its policies and procedures. No allocation of liability
to the other participating agencies is otherwise intended by this Agreement. It is
anticipated, but not required, that infractions and citations are to be written into the hosting
agency’s municipal court when emphasis patrols are held in the City of Bainbridge Island,
Bremerton, Port Orchard or Poulsbo.
10. USE AND ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY. Each participating agency shall be
responsible for acquiring all property that the participating agency needs for Task Force
participation during the term of this Agreement. The parties do not anticipate the joint

remain the property of the acquiring participating agency.
11. TASK FORCE COORDINATION
A. The Task Force Coordinator shall be responsible for coordinating Task Force related
communications between all participating agencies for Task Force activities. The Task
Force Coordinator is an employee of KCSO and funding for this position will be the

considered an allocation of liability to Kitsap County under RCW 10.93.040 for any
purpose whatsoever.
B. Each participating agency will pay an annual contribution to KCSO to be used for the
cost of providing the Task Force Coordinator. The amounts are as follows: Bremerton

Suquamish Police Department ($2,500). In return, the Task Force Coordinator will
assist in finding additional funding for traffic safety campaigns and equipment.

Safety Commission.
12. INDEPENDENT CAPACITY
A. Each participating agency and its respective employees or agents shall continue to be
the employees or agents of the primary commissioning agency which shall be solely
and exclusively responsible for that employee or agent and shall not be considered for
any purpose whatsoever to be employees or agents of the other parties this Agreement.
4

nor control the employees, agents, or contractors of another participating agency to this

engaging in Task Force activities. This consent is limited to the scope of authority granted
by the primary commissioning agency to its Task Force participants. This grant of authority
shall remain valid for the term of this Agreement unless revoked in writing. This grant of
authority is not intended to reallocate the responsibility of the primary commissioning
agency for the acts or omissions of their respective officers under RCW 10.93.040. This
Agreement shall not be construed in any manner that would limit the parties’ authority or
powers under law.
13. INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

and the other parties’ officers, employees, and agents from any and all allegations,

ATTACHMENT A
TRAFFIC SAFETY TASK FORCE EMPHASIS PATROL
OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES
1. PURPOSE The Traffic Safety Task Force emphasis patrol is committed to traffic safety,
including the prevention of alcohol and other drug-impaired driving, underage drinking,
speeding, distracted driving, and occupant protection offenses through coordinated, multi-
agency deterrence.
2. OBJECTIVES. The objectives of the Traffic Safety Task Force emphasis patrol are to:
A. improve traffic safety in Kitsap County and reduce the incidence and prevalence of alcohol
and other drug-impaired driving, underage drinking, speeding, distracted driving, and
occupant protection offenses;
B. increase law enforcement presence in the community to maximum levels in targeted high
traffic, high DUI, and collision arrest areas based upon statistical analysis;

D. focus media attention on traffic safety; and
E. enhance communication and cooperation among law enforcement agencies in Kitsap
County.

A. Each participating agency will be asked to provide at least one officer for each Task Force
emphasis patrol. Participating agencies with restricted jurisdiction will be asked to provide
an equivalent, alternative level of participation.
B. Each participating officer must be either a general authority Washington peace officer or a
specially commissioned Washington peace officer.
C. Specially commissioned Washington peace officers may not exceed the scope of the
special commissions granted by the primary commissioning agency when exercising their
law enforcement authority granted under the terms of the Agreement.
D. Participating agencies will be encouraged to assign highly-motivated officers who have
demonstrated an interest in traffic safety enforcement.
4. SUPERVISION
A. The hosting agency will be required to provide a first level supervisor for the patrol shift
for Task Force operations.

of the patrol shift for Task Force emphasis operations, present area details and agency
concerns, and provide any associated paperwork, if necessary.
C. The hosting agency supervisor will work the entire patrol shift during the Task Force
emphasis operations and will have overall responsibility for the coordination of the

5. OFFICER RESPONSIBILITY

Contract Modification Agreement No. 3 with
AquaTechnex LLC for Phoslock Treatment
and Aquatic Vegetation Harvesting of Kitsap
Lake
COUNCIL MEETING Date: May 5, 2021
Department: Public Works & Utilities
Presenter: Chance Berthiaume
Phone: (360) 473-5929
SUMMARY: Kitsap Lake has a history of toxic algae blooms due to elevated levels of available
phosphorus and internal recycling of phosphorus from decomposing aquatic vegetation. In the
summer of 2020, the City started work to reduce phosphorus and control aquatic vegetation using
Phoslock, a sequestering agent, and harvesting. This contract amendment extends the work through
2021 and is the second year of the 3-year plan. Phoslock reduces available phosphorus to eliminate
blue-green algae blooms and restores water quality to an acceptable condition for use by human,
animal, and fish. Harvesting removes excess aquatic vegetation biomass to reduce phosphorus
released during decomposition. Contract modification numbering jumped #1 to #2 through an editing
error, there is not a contract modification #1. AquaTechnex will mobilize and treat the lake with
Phoslock in May and begin harvesting in June of 2021 with a possible second partial Phoslock
treatment in August. NPDES Permit coverage is in place and will be renewed during the contract
term for 2021-2022.

EXHIBIT A
2021 Scope of Work
Phoslock Treatment Application:
•In May, apply Phoslock to the entire lake to sequester free reactive phosphorus at a dose
determined by analyzed samples. The City will provide follow-up phosphorus monitoring
through early October to track effectiveness of the application. Consider a second dose
over deep water sites in late summer, to eliminate phosphorus levels below the
thermocline, if it is elevated, which could cause an algae bloom.
Herbicide Application:
•Repeat the shoreline noxious emergent vegetation treatment program and retreat areas
where there is new growth of invasive aquatic and shoreline species. These areas will be
treated with Clearcast. This will include obtaining coverage under the emergent noxious
weed NPDES Permit, posting as required, and treatment of plants on the state noxious
weed list as located.
Aquatic Vegetation Harvesting:
•Excessive aquatic vegetation growth will be harvested along the shoreline around the
entire lake except for Bull Rush which is outside of the scope of work. AquaTechnex will
provide an aquatic weed harvesting system with operators to cut vegetation as directed by
the City staff. The City will determine the number of days this option will consume from
the annual budget.
Compliance with all requirements of the NPDES Aquatic Permit is the sole responsibility of
AquaTechnex LLC. Public notifications for treatment activities will be completed as required
and in accordance with Permit timelines and areas.

INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT
BETWEEN PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 OF KITSAP
COUNTY AND CITY OF BREMERTON FOR SHARING FIBER OPTIC
AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SERVICES AND
INFRASTRUCTURE
1. Parties. THIS INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made and entered into
on the date referenced on the signature page by and between City of Bremerton ("COB")
and Public Utility District No. 1 of Kitsap County ("PUD"). Both of these parties are
municipal corporations organized under the laws of the State of Washington and make
this Agreement pursuant to the Interlocal Governmental Cooperation Act, RCW 39.34.
2. Purpose of Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions for PUD
and COB to construct and share fi6er optic and information technology services,
equipment and infrastructure. PUD and COB have developed fiber optic and technology
related systems, resources and facilities capable of being shared with the other for the
mutual benefit of their citizens. It is the goal of both parties to develop appropriate
arrangements to achieve certain economies and efficiencies available upon cooperation
with each other to perform their respective responsibilities, and to make fiber optic and
technology systems available to each other and to their citizens consistent with legal
requirements applicable to municipally owned or operated facilities and infrastructure.
Both parties have determined that sharing specified fiber optic and other systems and
infrastructure will more effectively use the resources of both parties and provide
economies of scale, which will result in savings to the parties and their citizens.
3. Joint Access to Telecommunications Facilities. The parties agree to provide access to
telecommunications transmission facilities owned by each other such as underground
conduit and overheard transmission facilities. A party desiring access to these facilities
shall provide a written request to the other requesting access. The terms and conditions
of the access shall be determined on a case-by-case basis. The party providing the access
shall provide the terms and conditions for such access.
4. Sharin of Fiber Optic Cable and Conduit. The parties agree that on a case-by-case
basis they will share and generally use fiber optic cable and conduit having excess
capacity to enable the parties to avoid over-building, duplication of fiber optic
infrastructure, and minimize costs when common trench lines can be used. These sharing
arrangements shall be negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
5. Initial Agreements. This Agreement memorializes the following existing sharing
arrangements agreed upon by the parties:
a) Oyster Bay to Division Street Patch Panel. PUD has provided COB four dark
fibers from its existing fiber cable from the Oyster Bay Public Works Facility in
Bremerton to the Division Street Splice Case in Gorst. This dark fiber was provided in
consideration for Bremerton providing dark fiber identified in the subsequent paragraph.
Page 1 of 5
b) Division Street to McKenna Falls. Bremerton has provided four dark fibers to
PUD from its 144 strand fiber optic cable in place between the Division Street Splice
Case in Gorst and its present terminating location at McKenna Falls.
c) Norm Dicks Government Center (NDGC) and Fire Station 1. In exchange for the
PUD to be able to access the NDGC via COB conduit, PUD provided four strands of dark
fiber between NDGC and COB Fire Station 1.
6. Potential Future Cooperative Proiects. For future cooperative fiber projects, the PUD
and COB will determine and agree upon the following issues for the projects:
Location of cooperative project
Number of fibers allocated to each party
Entity responsible for providing the conduit
Entity responsible for installing the conduit
Entity responsible for providing the fiber
Entity responsible for installing the tiber
Entity responsible for operation and maintenance
Ownership
COB's Director of Public Works & Utilities is authorized to establish, approve and
administer future cooperative fiber projects under this Agreement on behalf of COB

strand multi-mode fibers which Bremerton agrees can be replaced and used by PUD for
installation of the new fiber. PUD will require an easement for use of its conduit and for
the continuation of this fiber optic cable installation from Reservoir 23 to the cellular site.
PUD would be responsible for installation of the conduit and fiber from Reservoir 23 to
the cellular site.
b) Fiber Cable Extension McKenna Falls to Casad Dam.
c) Fiber from Pump Station 8 to Oyster Ba perations Center.
d) Bremerton Booster Station 10 at the Port of Bremerton.

SUMMARY: The City has submitted an amendment to the Department of Ecology to increase the
Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) loan amount for the project Oyster Bay Beach Sewer
Upgrades. The project costs have increased to $7,700,000. These increased costs are a result of
added scope and current market conditions. The overall project budget needs to be increased to
$7,700,000 accordingly. Projects costs eligible for reimbursement by the Ecology loan are estimated
at $7,000,419. The original executed loan agreement was $3.8 million with an additional $2.4 million
commitment, included in the 2021 budget, from the Department of Ecology. The loan amendment
will increase the original loan from $3,800,000 to $7,000,419. The requested actions before City
Council are approval of the amendment to the CWSRF Loan and approval of an increase of the
overall project budget to $7,700,000.

FISCAL SUMMARY
OYSTER BAY BEACH SEWER UPGRADES
The project overall cost was originally estimated at $3.8M in 2016. This value was used in the
application for a Department of Ecology Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) loan. The loan for
$3.8M was executed in June 2018. During design in September 2020, the City added scope to the
project to install a new sewer force main in conjunction with the low pressure sewers. The City’s
consultant (Parametrix) estimated a revised overall project cost of $6.2M. In subsequent discussions
with Ecology in October 2020, Ecology agreed to increase the loan amount up to $6.2M; with an
agreement that the final loan amount would be determined after the construction bids were opened.
Bids were opened on April 14, 2021. The low bid from Active Construction Inc. was for $6,237,237. The
overall project amount was revised and increased to $7.7M. Of this amount, $7,000,419 is eligible for
reimbursement by the Ecology loan. Loan amendment #1 will increase the loan amount as shown in the
following table.
