November 18, 2020
To the Citizens and the Honorable Council of the City of Bremerton:
I am pleased to submit the City’s 2021 Adopted Annual Budget. I believe this budget is
fiscally conservative while also supporting the initiatives of my administration and the
City Council’s goals and priorities.
We have experienced unprecedented and challenging times as a result of the COVID-19
pandemic that emerged in 2020. This budget addresses the needs of citizens for the
foreseeable future while also planning for continued growth and economic development
as our community focuses on recovery. As we move forward,it remains important to
focus on homelessness, mental health and addiction help as well as support for safe
neighborhoods and assistance for quality affordable housing. Additionally, improvements
to parks, maintaining the streets and sidewalks program and supporting public safety
while providing transparency continue to be priorities.
We have been monitoring the potential financial impacts of COVID-19 to the budget.
The City remains on solid financial footing due to the smart financial planning that took
place during previous years as well as the makeup of our strong sales tax base and other
revenue. As a result, we have been able to keep financial impacts low and we are in a
good position to maintain a healthy fund balance for many unforeseen circumstances.
2021 Adopted Budget Highlights
I’m pleased to present highlights from the budget:
x In order to support the business community, included in the budget is an increase
in the City’s Business and Occupation (B&O) tax exemption from $220,000 to
$240,000. This would increase the exemption by $20,000 for the year. At this
level, more than 72% of locally based business will be exempt from the tax. Other
businesses not completely included in the B&O tax exemption will also see a
decrease in their bill.
x My focus as well as the City Council’s is to support quality affordable housing.
Included in this budget is $200,000 to fund affordable housing assistance in the
City of Bremerton. Half of the sum ($100,000) will be used to assist the working
poor and seniors who are struggling to pay their rent. The other $100,000 will
support the weatherization and minor home repair program, which will help low
income residents with energy costs so they can afford other expenses such as
housing and food. This is the third year the City of Bremerton has provided
funding for both programs.
x Our City police department is committed to protecting residents and to
maintaining integrity and accountability with the community it serves. In this
budget, I have funded $281,555 to purchase and administer body cameras for our
officers. The funding includes two new positions starting July 1st as part of the
program.
x This budget includes $3.7 million to fund road and sidewalk maintenance, and
$9.5 million toward road capital improvement projects. Of the total, nearly $6
million of funds comes from state and federal grants. Funding will support repairs
and construction of streets and sidewalks and improve bike and pedestrian safety.
This budget continues the funding of Street Preventive Maintenance and General
Operations, a goal established by the City Council and supported in my budget for
the past three years.
x There is approximately $11.8 million committed this year towards capital projects.
These include roughly $2.3 million in park upgrades, police body cameras,
remodel of two fire stations, among other projects.
2020 Accomplishments During COVID-19
I’m proud of what was achieved under my administration during 2020. While there were
some changes to operations due to the coronavirus, we continued to administer the 2020
budget to meet the City’s goals and priorities and also distributed assistance and federal
funds to support citizens and businesses impacted by COVID-19.
As a result of COVID-19, my administration:
x Distributed federal funds for Bremerton COVID-19 relief programs, including the
COVID-19 Bremerton Rental Assistance Program; Bremerton Small Business
Relief Grants; and Technology Purchases for Virtual Learning in the Bremerton
School District
x Ensured residents would still have water and sewer services if they could not make
payments due to the financial impacts of COVID-19. We worked with residents on
payment plans and waiving late fees on bills. The City also suspended credit card
fees for online payments.
x Waived late payment fees and interest for businesses who were not able to file
their taxes and renew their licenses on time as a result of the coronavirus.
x Permitted outdoor seating in public parking spaces for Bremerton restaurants so
they could meet certain safety conditions to operate during COVID-19.
x Opened up temporary parking on downtown streets for essential workers and for
those who needed to meet appointments for critical services and care.
Neighborhood parking enforcement was also lifted temporarily to assist residents
during the Governor’s stay-at-home orders.
x Found a new location in downtown for the Bremerton Farmers Market so they
could continue operating and meet coronavirus health and safety standards.
x Supported Salvation Army in creating a 24-hour/7 day-a-week shelter for those
facing homelessness during the pandemic.
Additionally, under COVID-19, my administration:
x Completed East Side Employment Center/Harrison Hospital Market Analysis EIS;
and Charleston Business/Community District Study
x Finalized Wheaton Way/HWY 303 Corridor Study
x Began Implementation of Kitsap Lake Vegetation Management and Toxic Algae
Control Plan
x Continued Restoration of the City’s Streets and Sidewalks Program
x Completed 2nd Year of Rental Assistance Program and Weatherization Program
x Continued Improvements to the City’s Parks, including Warren Ave. Playfield and
Design of Kitsap Lake Park
x Co-Launched Mobile-response Unit for Opioid and Mental Health Incidents
x Approved Permits for Nearly $100 Million in Residential/Commercial Projects
with Another $90 Million in the Queue
x Implemented the City’s Workforce Diversity Plan and Updated the Equal
Employment Opportunity Program
x Completed Art Initiatives Projects
x Continued Implementation of the City's Parking Study Recommendations,
Including License Plate Reader Technology to Improve Parking Enforcement
x Opened the Primary Healthcare Clinic on Kitsap Way
x Secured Funding for Traffic and Parking Study in Partnership with the U.S. Navy
x Brought in Amazon jobs as Part of Efforts to Attract More Higher Wage Positions
to the Community and Expand the Local Economy
The adopted 2021 budget will continue ongoing initiatives and programs that began when
I took office in 2018. We remain committed to delivering services to the public and to
sustaining recovery from the impacts of COVID-19.
Sincerely,
Greg Wheeler
Mayor

Budget Summary
Like many Cities throughout Washington State,
the COVID-19 Pandemic has created uncertain-
ty with short and long-term economic forecast-
ing. The City of Bremerton is no different and
there is a lot to consider in this uncharted terri-
tory. During this unprecedented time, the City’s
2021 budget provides for goods and services
with a conservative approach.
Sales tax revenue in the General Fund exceeded
original pandemic projections in the second and
third quarter; contributing to a healthy reserve
balance for 2021. Though many revenue catego-
ries are showing increases, others have re-
mained flat. Total 2021 tax revenue (property
taxes, sales taxes, business and occupation taxes
and private utility taxes) in the General Fund
represent 74% of the total revenue and are
budgeted at $33.5 million. This is approximate-
ly $1.15 million (3.55%) more than the 2020
amended budget. Regular and EMS property tax
receipts are estimated with a $620k increase for
the upcoming year with $315k from new con-
struction. Sales tax (including criminal justice
and affordable housing), is budgeted at a con-
servative $10.1 million in 2021. This is a $743k
decrease from anticipated receipts in 2020 due
to higher than anticipated sales tax receipts dur-
ing the first quarter of the year.
The annual $20k increase in B&O tax exemp-
tion is budgeted to continue in 2021 from $220k
to $240k as part of the continued effort to pro-
vide tax relief for small businesses. With the
new tax exemption increase, B&O revenue is
estimated at $2.9 million for the upcoming year.
Other General Fund revenue budgeted in 2021
are as follows: license and permits $1.4 million,
intergovernmental $2 million, charges for ser-
vices $6.3 million, fines and forfeitures $1 mil-
lion and miscellaneous and transfers $658k.
The City of Bremerton has continued to see a
substantial increase in building permit and plan
review activity. Budgeted revenue from these
sources are relatively unchanged at $1.4 mil-
lion.
The total General Fund revenue increase for
2021 is 2.51% over the mid-year amended
2020 budget.
The City of Bremerton provides services and
programs through the efforts of its qualified and
capable staff. The 2021 budget includes an in-
crease in regular full-time equivalent (FTEs) of
3.0 positions for a total of 376.53. Extra help
and seasonal employees bridge the gap in de-
partments when staffing needs increase during
specific times of the year, such as Parks in the
summer months, or Stormwater in the Fall.
Seasonal and part-time employees continue to
be accounted for in the City’s FTE count. The
2021 budget does not include increases in sea-
sonal and part-time positions.
Personnel costs remain the highest expense in
the General Fund at 72% of total expenditures.
Efforts continue to analyze appropriate staffing
levels in order to provide services and programs
to our citizens while supporting Council Goals
and initiatives.
The City anticipates a slight decrease in Real
Estate Excise Tax (REET). Compared to the
2020 budget of $1.74 million, the $50k decrease
is due in part to the number of properties sold
within the City. The rapid escalation in the
number of residential sales that the City benefit-
Budget Summary
1
ed from in 2018 and 2019 has decreased by 14%
during the first three quarters of 2020. Reduced
sales are due in part by limited inventory and
COVID-19. Commercial property sales remain
consistent with prior years. The impacts from
REET vary, however this revenue source is most
significant for funding capital and major mainte-
nance projects in the City’s street system, facili-
ties, parks, and providing matching funds for se-
cured grants.
As we begin the 2021 budget year, the City will
continue to monitor revenues closely and oversee
expenditures city-wide. Overall, the budget
for 2021 is $192,162,136. It includes $50 million
for personnel costs (26%), $48 million for
supplies (25%), $6.5 million for debt service
(3%), $34 million for capital outlay (18%),
$9.9 million in transfers among funds (5%), and
$43.9 million in ending fund balances (23%).
The resources to fund the budget include; $40
million in taxes (property, sales, business and oc-
cupancy, and franchise taxes) (21%), $1.8 million
in licenses & permits (1%), $13.3 million in inter-
governmental revenue (7%), $52.2 million in
charges for services (27%), $1.4 million in fines
and forfeits (1%), $26.4 million in other revenues
(13%) and $57.2 million in beginning fund bal-
ance (30%).
General Fund
City Council
The Council budget includes funding for 1.8
FTEs as support staff and seven councilors. The
total budget of $409k is essentially unchanged
from the prior year.
Executive
The Mayor’s budget includes funding for the
Mayor and one FTE as support staff. Supplies
and services for the Mayor’s administrative budg-
et remains consistent with 2020.
Budget Summary
Financial Services
The $34k increase in the Financial Services sup-
plies budget is primarily due to increases in city-
wide banking and state audit fees that are paid out
of the department. Other supplies and personnel
expenses are consistent with the prior year.
Legal Services and City Clerk
The Legal Department personnel budget remains
unchanged, however an increase of $20k in profes-
sional services is budgeted for specialized legal
counsel.
Human Resources
The 2021 budget for the Human Resources Depart-
ment includes four FTEs that are responsible for
providing support to employees and management.
The total budget for the department in 2021 is
$756k.
Community Development
Community Development houses the City’s “One-
Stop” permit center, which includes the intake and
issuance of right-of-way permits and engineering
development review. Though permit activity has
increased, the 2021 budget of $2.8 million is con-
sistent with the prior year.
Municipal Court
Municipal Court’s $1.5 million budget is essential-
ly unchanged from the prior year.
City Auditor
The City Auditor’s total budget of $95k continues a
staffing level of a .40 FTE for the City Auditor po-
sition. Staff support remains unchanged. Per the
City Charter, the City Auditor works under the di-
rection of the Audit Committee.
Law Enforcement
The Police Department’s budget of $12.9 million
consists of $11 million for 76.26 FTEs and $1.8
million for supplies and services. Three new posi-
tions are proposed in the 2021 budget to support
behavior health and police body camera programs.
2
Budget Summary
Grant funding for the Community Resource Of-
ficer continues, however state shared criminal jus-
tice funding has decreased significantly due to
lower violent crime rates within the City.
Fire/Emergency Medical Services
Total expenditures for the Fire Department are
$12.1 million for the upcoming year. Staffing lev-
els and supplies and services are relatively un-
changed. $2.1 million in funding to support EMS
operations continues from a renewed voter ap-
proved EMS levy. GEMT (Ground Emergency
Medical Transport) grant revenue is estimated at
$650k.
Police & Fire Pension
The Police and Fire Pension budget for 2021 has
increased to $1.9 million. Excluding fund bal-
ance, the total budget represents approximately
3.8% of the total General Fund expenditure budg-
et. Pension payments have increased in both Fire
and Police as well as medical benefits. Though
the member of beneficiaries is anticipated to de-
crease, the budget for professional services to
support long-term care continues to increase.
The costs associated with this program are the
result of legislative decisions made years ago that
went unfunded at that time and there are presently
no dedicated funding sources for the City to meet
these obligations. The City continues to fund cur-
rent year expenditures with current year General
Fund revenue.
General Facilities
The $1.9 million budget for General Facilities
supports ongoing maintenance of City owned
buildings and structures. Funding includes $541k
from real estate excise tax for HVAC and build-
ing improvements at the library and other major
maintenance projects throughout the City.
Parks and Recreation
The $3.2 million Parks Recreation and Mainte-
nance budget for 2021 is essentially unhanged
from the prior year. Funding supports mainte-
nance and operations of City parks, Ivy Green
Cemetery, Sheridan Park Community Center and
the Bremerton Senior Center. A transfer-out of
$133k to the Parks Construction Fund is also
budgeted to support the use of City labor associat-
ed with the Kitsap Lake Capital Project. A $38k
subsidy payment to the YMCA for pool opera-
tions will continue in 2021.
Engineering
City-wide Engineering personnel and supplies
and service costs continue to be allocated and
budgeted in one cost center within the General
Fund.
Total recoverable charges for services and other
work performed by engineering staff for capital
projects and utilities operations and maintenance
total $2.2 million.
Non-departmental
The Non-departmental budget of $5.1 million, has
decreased by $251k. The budget continues sup-
port for rental assistance in partnership with the
Bremerton Housing Authority and an additional
$100k transfer to the Affordable Housing Fund
for the weatherization program. Other programs
funded in non-departmental include photo en-
forcement ($432k), animal control ($223k), care
and custody ($1.369 million) contributions to the
City’s ERR Fund ($520k), transfers to the Contin-
gency Reserve Fund ($130k) and the Street Fund
($743k). Other funding budgeted, consistent with
2020, are payments to Puget Sound Regional
Council, Association of Washington Cities,
Bremerton-Kitsap County Health District for cer-
tain public health support and services, Puget
Sound Clean Air Agency, KEDA, KADA, post-
age, weekend foot ferry, lobbyist services, and
funding to support Kitsap County mental health
services.

Budget Summary
The projected ending fund balance for the General
fund is $8.41 million. This amount exceeds the
8.5% target of total expenditures and continues to
provide a consistent level of service to our citi-
zens. The excess ending fund balance (above tar-
get) will be used to bridge the gap between pro-
jected ongoing revenues and expenditures in fu-
ture years and provide funding for one-time ex-
penditures with one-time revenue. The City rec-
ognizes the importance of building reserve levels
and will continue to focus on fiscal stability
which supports Council goals.
Special Revenue Funds
The City has twelve special revenue funds, many
accounting for dedicated revenue sources.
Street Fund
The City’s Street Fund is dedicated for the pur-
pose of maintaining the City’s street system. The
budget for 2021 includes continued funding for
street marking/striping emphasis, GIS inventory
of street signs, roadway structures and street trees.
Revenue sources to fund street operations and
maintenance include $800k in parking tax, $838k
in state fuel tax, a $743k transfer-in from the Gen-
eral Fund, and $129k in other operation revenue.
The City’s Street Fund accounts for street related
activity including non-major capital improve-
ments. Major capital improvement projects are
accounted for in the Transportation Projects and
Residential Street and Sidewalk Funds.
Lodging Tax Fund
Lodging tax revenue is budgeted at $474k, which
is a significant decrease from the prior year. Sim-
ilar to other communities, COVID-19 has reduced
occupancy days for recreational stays, however
DOD (Department of Defense) employees contin-
ue to lodge within the City.
The $600k expenditure budget includes $250k in
dedicated funding for Conference Center opera-
tions and debt service payments, and the continu-
ation of $150k in existing funding for the Admiral
Theatre. $200k in set-a-side funding for future
Lodging Tax Committee allocations is also budg-
eted.
It is important maintain reserve levels in this fund
so award recipients can receive funding in a time-
ly manner. The budgeted ending fund balance of
$105k provides for a minimum reserve level and
should be evaluated on an annual basis.
Parking System Fund
In 2021 the budget reflects no increases in rates at
parking garages and surface lots. The operation of
City owned parking lots, garages, on and off-
street parking programs continues with an esti-
mated total fund revenue, excluding parking in-
fractions, of $1.3 million.
The 2021 $1.7 million expenditure budget in-
cludes $543k for debt service payments and a
transfer-out of $70k to the 2019 Refunding LTGO

and replacing parking signs throughout the City is
budgeted.

federal grants designated for capital projects in
target areas, weatherization and city-wide eco-
nomic development programs.

ing, $25k in housing service fees and interest, and
a $75k transfer-in from the General Fund to sup-
port administrative costs not covered by grant
funding.

operation is accounted for in this fund. The oper-
ation is consistent with prior years with the major-

City’s cable TV franchises ($274k, 61%). Other
revenue includes intergovernmental, charges for
services to other agencies and citizens and mis-
cellaneous revenue in the amount of $173k.

tion equipment upgrades. Total personnel costs
for 2021 are $410k with no changes in staffing
levels. Supplies and services are budgeted at
$54k. An ending fund balance of $647k is fore-
cast.
Conference Center Operations Fund
The overall expenditure budget for the Confer-
ence Center is $1.3 million; a decrease of $786k
over the prior. The conservative budget for 2021
reflects the impacts of reduced large party events
due to COVID-19. $32k in debt service is also
budgeted for interfund principal and interest as-
sociated with the third floor expansion project.
Projected revenues total $1.38 million, including
$1 million from user fees, $250k from the Lodg-
ing Tax Fund and a $104k transfer-in from the
General Fund.

2021 for services supporting code enforcement
and abatement. The estimated ending fund bal-
ance is $78k. Police Special Projects Fund pro-

cluding $124k in supplies and services and $80k

Fund for the purchase of a new K-9 narcotics
vehicle. Trial Improvement Fund includes budg-
eted expenditures for supplies at $28k with no
capital improvements budgeted for the upcoming
year. The estimated ending fund balance is $75k.
One Percent for Arts Fund will spend $9k in
supplies and services for repairs and maintenance
of public art, utility wraps and additional panels
on the Washington Ave. Outdoor Gallery Wall
Project. Contingency Reserve Fund is budgeted
with an estimated beginning fund balance of $1.5
million. A $130k transfer-in from the General
Fund is budgeted to bring the ending fund bal-
ance up to the minimal reserve amount equiva-
lent $0.375 cents per thousand dollars of as-
sessed valuation of property within the City. For

leave payouts when an employee leaves City em-
ployment.
Both funds were created to build, and set aside,
reserves for future unemployment and leave ac-
crual payouts. Estimated ending fund balance for
Employment Security is budgeted at $82k and
$265k for Accumulated Leave Liability. Due to a
continuation of large payments in the Accumulat-
ed Leave Fund, the rate charged remains at 2%
for 2021. It is anticipated that long-time employ-
ees will continue to retire in the next five years
and therefore maintaining an adequate reserve
balance is necessary.
Equipment Replacement and Operations Funds
The ER&R Operations Fund proposed budget
totals $1.8 million and provides for repair and
maintenance of the City’s fleet. The $450k fuel
budget for 2021 is accounted for separately from
routine maintenance costs and departments will
continue to be billed for actual usage.
The ER&R Reserve Fund includes capital ex-
penditures of $1.17 million. Additions to the fleet
paid by other funds are budgeted at $80k.
Planned vehicle and equipment replacements are
budgeted at $1.09 million. The estimated ending
fund balance for 2021 is $4.7 million.
Information Technology
Information technology’s expenditure budget of
$1.76 million is responsible for support functions
to the City’s network and technology systems,
the maintenance and replacement of hardware
and software components, utility SCADA system
and the City’s phone operations. Funding is pro-
vided through internal charges to other depart-
ments in the amount of $1.76 million.

Budget Process
Introduction
The City of Bremerton operates as a first class
charter city under a Mayor/Council form of gov-
ernment. The Mayor is elected and is the full-
time Chief Executive Officer of the City. The
Mayor appoints department directors with Coun-
cil consent and hires all City employees, exclud-
ing the City auditor, municipal court staff, and
City Council staff. The Council has seven elect-
ed, part-time members in 2021.
The City provides mandatory, essential, and dis-
cretionary services, including fire protection/
emergency medical services; law enforcement;
municipal court; water, sewer, and stormwater
utility services; economic development; commu-
nity development, transportation systems, park-
ing facilities, conference center, and parks and
recreational facilities and programs.
Located in Kitsap County, eleven miles across
the Puget Sound west of Seattle, Bremerton is the
geographic center of the Puget Sound region.
Bremerton is the 27th largest city in the State of
Washington with a current population of 41,750
within an incorporated area of approximately
32.1 square miles.
City Financial Goals and Policies
The City Council has by resolution adopted fi-
nancial goals and policies for the City. The goals
and policies define what constitutes a “good out-
come” for the City in regards to financial plan-
ning and decisions. The City is accountable to its
citizens for the efficient use of public dollars.
Resources entrusted to the City are to be used in a
manner that provides services, public facilities,
and infrastructure necessary to meet the needs of
the community—both in the near term and in the
future. The financial goals and policies establish
a framework to maintain financial health and sta-
Budget Process
bility that is necessary to meet those expecta-
tions.
The goals expressed are designed to achieve fi-
nancial sustainability and flexibility, demon-
strate proper stewardship of public funds, and
provide accountability. The adopted financial
goals and policies are included in their entirety
under the miscellaneous section of this budget
document. The measurables included in those
policies are incorporated into the following
budget overview.
City Budget and Process
The budget is the City’s plan of action for calen-
dar year 2021 expressed in dollars. While much
can be learned about the City’s finances by re-
viewing the budget, it is also designed to serve
other functions. For example, the budget is a
policy document that presents major policies
that guide how the City is managed. The budget
is an operations guide that gives the public,
elected officials, and City staff information per-
taining to the productivity and priorities of spe-
cific City operations. In addition, the budget is a
communication device, intended to provide
complex information in an understandable for-
mat for an audience composed of readers with
varying levels of backgrounds and interests.
Bremerton prepares its budget on an annual ba-
sis under the authority granted by chapter 35.33
Revised Code of Washington (RCW). The budg-
et process is designed to meet the operations and
service needs of the City by integrating the plan-
ning and implementation of City programs and
objectives with the allocation of resources suffi-
cient to support such services and programs. The
budget, as adopted, constitutes the legal authori-
ty for expenditures.
13
The City’s budget is balanced. This means that
operation and maintenance expenditures are
generally funded from current revenues. In in-
stances where expenditures may be funded from
fund balance (reserves), such funding is from
fund balance amounts accumulated from past
years or which exceed the target levels identified
by the City’s Financial Goals & Policies. Fund
balance (reserves) may be used on occasion to
fund utility system budgets. Generally, this is to
level rates, and the intent is to use prior year rev-
enue collections which exceeded expenditure
requirements to level future year’s rate revenue
requirements. The Capital Improvement Funds
budgets are balanced with anticipated additional
revenue or reserves.
The City budget consists of separate funds, each
with its own revenue and expenditure accounts.
GAAP, federal, state and municipal laws govern
the establishment and administration of funds.
A fund is defined as a fiscal and accounting enti-
ty with a self-balancing set of accounts record-
ing cash and other financial resources, together
with all related liabilities and residual equities or
balances, and changes therein, which are segre-
gated for the purpose of carrying on specific ac-
tivities or attaining certain objectives in accord-
ance with special regulations, restrictions, or
limitations.
The City budget is adopted by fund and depart-
ments within those funds, and by category group
level which consist of five distinct categories—
1) personnel, 2) supplies, services and taxes, 3)
debt service, 4) capital expenditures, and 5)
transfers. Expenditures may not legally exceed
appropriations as established by fund, depart-
ment, and category group. Transfers or revi-
sions within funds are allowed, but supplemental
appropriations must be approved by the City
Council following public comment. All appro-
priations, including capital projects, lapse at year
-end. Prior to the end of the year, appropriation
changes that have received Council approval are
incorporated into a budget adjustment ordi-
nance—providing the appropriations as specified
in RCW 35.33.151. The process utilized for
amending the budget is the same as that used to
adopt the original budget and related ordinances.
Fund Types Utilized by the City
Governmental Funds
Funds generally used to account for tax-
supported activities. There are four differ-
ent types of governmental funds utilized by
Bremerton: the general fund, special reve-
nue funds, debt service funds, and capital
projects funds.
General Fund
The General Fund is the City’s primary op-
erating fund. It accounts for all revenues and
expenditures which are not accounted for in
any other fund. The majority of General
Fund revenue comes from taxes, state and
local shared revenues, and charges for ser-
vices. General Fund revenues are used to
pay for police, fire/EMS, parks, municipal
court, community development and City ad-
ministration.
Special Revenue Funds
These funds account for proceeds of specific
revenue sources that are intended for specif-
ic expenditure purposes. Other restricted and
dedicated resources are accounted for in
debt service, trust, and capital project funds.
These funds include: Street, Contingency
Reserve, Lodging Tax, Parking, Community
Development Block Grant, Abatement Re-
volving, Police Special Projects, Public Ac-
cess Television, Gift & Donations, Trial Im-
provement, One Percent for Arts, and Con-
ference Center Operations.

14
Debt Service Funds
These funds are used to account for the ac-
cumulation of resources for and payment of
general obligation bond principal and inter-
est from governmental resources. The City
has four debt service funds: 2010 UTGO,
Government Center LTGO, 2015 Public
Safety Bond and 2019 Refunding LTGO.
Capital Improvement Funds
These funds are used to account for the ac-
quisition or construction of major capital
facilities other than those funded by propri-
etary and trust funds.
These funds include: General Government
Capital Improvement, Park Facilities Con-
struction, Residential Street and Sidewalk
Fund, Transportation Capital Projects, Fire
Public Safety and Affordable Housing Capi-
tal Fund.
Proprietary Funds
Proprietary Funds are used to account for
the City’s business-type activities. Business
-type activities provide specific goods or
services to a group of customers that are
paid for by fees charged to those customers,
enterprise funds and internal service funds.
Enterprise Funds
Enterprise Funds are used to account for
goods and services provided to citizens.
The City enterprise funds account for utility
and golf operations, which are self-
supported through user charges. These op-
erations are operated like a private business
enterprise which requires periodic determi-
nation of revenues earned, expenses in-
curred, and net income for capital, mainte-
nance, public policy, management control,
and accountability.
These funds include: Water Utility, Water
Capital, Wastewater Utility, Wastewater
Capital, Stormwater Utility, Stormwater
Capital and Gold Mountain Golf Complex
and Utility Debt Reserve.
Internal Service Funds
Internal Service Funds are used to account
for goods and services provided internally
to various City operations. The City uses
internal service funds to account for mainte-
nance and acquisition of its fleet of vehi-
cles, insurance premiums and claims, as
well as information technology services.
These funds are: Risk Management, Em-
ployment Security, Accumulated Leave Lia-
bility, Equipment Rental Reserve—
Operations & Maintenance, Equipment
Rental Reserve—Equipment Reserve, and
Information Services.
Basis of Budgeting
All of the funds are budgeted using the modified
accrual basis of accounting. Modified accrual
accounting recognizes revenues when they be-
come measurable and available. Measurable
means that the dollar value of the revenue is
known. Available means that it is collectible
within the current period, or soon enough after
the end of the current period to pay liabilities of
the current period. For this purpose the City
considers revenues to be available if they are
collected within 30 days of the end of the cur-
rent fiscal period. Expenditures generally are
recorded when a liability is incurred. However,
debt service expenditures, as well as expendi-
tures related to compensated absences and
claims and judgments, are recorded only when
payment is due.
Accounting Basis
The basis of accounting refers to when revenues
and expenditures or expenses are recorded in the
accounts and reported in the financial state-
Budget Process
15
ments. The City’s Annual Financial Report
shows the status of the City’s finances in con-
formance with generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP). In most cases this conforms
to the way the City prepares its budget. Excep-
tions are as follows:
xCompensated absences liabilities that are
expected to be liquidated with expendable
available financial resources are accrued as
earned by employees (GAAP) as opposed to
being expended when paid (Budget Basis).
xPrincipal payments on long-term debt within
the Enterprise Funds are applied to the out-
standing liability on a GAAP basis, as op-
posed to being expended on a Budget Basis.
xCapital Outlays within the Proprietary Funds
are recorded as assets on a GAAP basis and
expended on a Budget Basis.
A Capital Improvement Plan is prepared annual-
ly in accordance with the requirements of the
Washington State Growth Management Act and
defines the long-term capital plans of the City.
However, the individual capital project expendi-
tures are appropriated through annual budget
ordinances. A Transportation Plan and Compre-
hensive Wastewater and Water Plans have been
previously prepared and adopted by the City
Council in separate actions. The General Capi-
tal Improvement Plan has been updated and is
included in the Capital Improvement Funds sec-
tion of this 2021 budget document.
The 2021 budget process began in January with
a workshop to establish issues and goals to be
addressed in the development of the budget. In
mid May, budget preparation calendars are dis-
tributed to departments. Specific guidelines
providing instructions and forms necessary for
the development of the budget were distributed
in July for both revenue and expenditures. The
budget submittals and requests were then due to
Finance by end of July (revenue) and mid Au-
gust (expenditures) and are subsequently com-
piled for the review of the Department Directors
and Mayor. The review and revision process
takes place over the course of the next several
weeks. Throughout the budget process, meetings
are held with appropriate staff to discuss the pro-
posed operating budget, its overall financial pic-
ture and relevant services to be provided. The
final management review of the budget is per-
formed with the participation of Department Di-
rectors and the Mayor in a series of meetings—
as needed to complete the review and come to
agreement on the final budget to be proposed to
the City Council for adoption. In accordance
with RCW 35.33.055, the preliminary budget
must be made available for public review in the
office of the City Clerk on or before November
1 of each year. For this year’s process, this was
done by October 21, 2020
In October, the Mayor and Director of Financial
Services submit the proposed budget to the City
Council in a public meeting—initiating the pub-
lic hearing and review process which is then
conducted throughout the months of October
and November. Several workshops are held with
the City Council during October and November
to explain significant sections of the proposed
budget and answer questions. After the review
period is concluded, any changes determined
necessary are then incorporated and the budget
ordinance is presented for public hearing and
City Council action. The budget is required to
be adopted by no later than the first Monday in
December.
The City encourages public participation in the
budget process. Budget information is made
available to the public through open meetings,
by televising regular Council meetings on
Bremerton Kitsap Access Television, as well as
by providing copies of the budget and Council
agenda items on the City’s web site
(http://www.ci.bremerton.wa.us/).

The Mayor and City Council have developed
strategic priorities to guide the development,
direction, and management of the City. Specific
initiatives to support these strategic priorities
have been identified with goals and measures
described.
Strategic Priorities
xDistinctive Growth, with Viable Neighbor-
hoods and Centers that Provide Greater
Choice and Convenience
The City will actively work towards achieving
cohesive, stable neighborhoods that have a
homeowner majority. The architectural
styles and scales, established boundaries, and
central features of neighborhoods will guide
the criteria and standards for new develop-
ment to ensure compatibility with surround-
ing qualities. Designated Centers along with
existing traditional neighborhood businesses
will offer and promote higher density life-
styles, encourage convenient commercial and
employment services, and provide a greater
diversity of housing choices.
xEnticing New Development and Retaining
Existing Businesses, With a Focus on the
Downtown Regional Center
The City of Bremerton will position itself to
attract development and retain existing busi-
nesses, especially where there are opportuni-
ties for new or expanded employment. Zon-
ing categories will provide sufficient industri-
al, commercial, and mixed use lands for busi-
ness opportunities. The City will take actions
to ensure a friendly, welcoming environment
which highlights the City’s unique maritime
atmosphere. Provide adequate parking while
also promoting efficient circulation. In key
areas identified for economic expansion, de-
velopable sites will be pre-qualified for envi-
ronmental permitting as “planned actions”.
This will extend to rehabilitation programs,
such as grant funding to clean up the City’s
challenging brownfield sites. Special accom-
modations, such as advanced utility planning
and the provision of cutting edge technology,
will further encourage use of these sites. The
City and its partnering jurisdictions will ap-
ply appropriate tax strategies to attract and
retain businesses.
xSupportive Transportation, with Seamless,
Efficient, and Varied Choices
Bremerton’s size and role as a regional hub
provides the foundation for an exemplary
transportation system, with diverse and con-
venient mobility options. The City, in cooper-
ation with State and with other transportation
providers, will work to enhance and maintain
services and facilities that build on that diver-
sity, while striving to reduce the dominance
of single-occupant automobile transportation.
Strategic Priorities and Initiatives
Strategic Priorities and Initiatives

Strategic Priorities and Initiatives
xImproved Accessibility, Especially for the
Pedestrian
The City’s transportation system is well posi-
tioned for innovative development, especially
expanded use of alternative travel options,
enabled by the existing transit and ferry sys-
tems. Designated Centers will be strongly
characterized by walkable designs with link-
ages to one another. Trails and bike lanes
will emphasize safety and have uniform sign-
age. Street ends, parks, and opens spaces
will offer recreational opportunities as well
as access to the shoreline for everyone’s en-
joyment.
xQuality Housing, with Broader Choices
The City will promote quality, affordable
housing, for all family types, ages, and in-
comes. New, creative housing projects, such
as artists’ lofts and courtyard homes, will
meet the need of special populations such as
short term residents and citizens in need of
transitional housing. Bremerton will promote
private and public efforts to secure adequate
capital for affordable housing projects at
competitive and favorable market costs. Pri-
ority will go to projects that advance owner-
occupied units.
xSafe, Healthy, Livable Neighborhoods
The City will (within the limits of fiscal re-
sources) proactively enforce ordinances, es-
pecially in relation to Code Enforcement,
Emergency Management and Community Po-
licing. Public safety is primary. Public facil-
ities and services will be conveniently and
equitably located throughout the community,
chiefly through the prescription and monitor-
ing of service levels that reflect community
values in areas such as law enforcement, fire
protection, and sanitary sewers. The City
will partner with citizens, schools, and other
local organizations to increase and enhance
educational opportunities and provide an en-
vironment that embraces and supports fami-
lies and youth.
xOpen Spaces, Natural Areas, and Parks
that Maximize the Natural Environment
and Promote Community Pride
Bremerton citizens will benefit from an open-
space system that increases the amount of
green-space and compliments habitat protec-
tion goals, public safety concerns, and recre-
ational needs. City owned properties will be
well maintained and strategically incorpo-
rated into this system.
xEfficient, Accountable, and Financially Re-
sponsible City Governance
The City will maintain public trust and confi-
dence by utilizing resources in the most open
and efficient manner possible. Resources en-
trusted to the City will be used in a manner
that provides services, public facilities, and
infrastructure necessary to meet the needs of
the community—both today and in the future.
The City’s adopted financial goals and poli-
cies provide the framework for financial
health and stability that is necessary to meet
those expectations. The financial goals are
designed to achieve financial sustainability
and flexibility, demonstrate proper steward-
ship of public funds, and provide accountabil-
ity.

Personnel
Introduction
The City of Bremerton provides services and
programs for its citizens through the efforts of its
qualified and capable staff.
The 2021 budget includes changes to staffing
levels and pay bands as noted in the following
tables. The approved pay bands are included in
this section of the budget document. The Munic-
ipal Court Judge compensation was set at 95% of
the District & Superior Court judges’ salaries as
updated on July 1, 2020. The Judge’s compensa-
tion adjustment is required in order to remain
eligible to participate in certain state shared reve-
nues.
The 2021 budget includes wage adjustments for
the those employees covered under the Manage-
ment, Professional, Confidential & Fiduciary pay
plans, General Teamsters Local Union No. 589,
and International Association of Fire Fighters
Local 437. The Bremerton Police Officer’s Guild
and Bremerton Police Management Association
are currently under contract negotiations.
The following pages provide information that
affect our personnel along with a summary of
changes for 2021.

Some City employees who are eligible under
state law to be represented by a labor organiza-
tion are employed under labor contract provi-
sions on such matters as salaries, vacation, sick
leave, medical and dental insurance, working
conditions, and grievance procedures. Bremer-
ton strives to complete these agreements in a
timely manner and promote labor relations poli-
cies that are mutually beneficial to the City and
employees.

est contribution from employees per month per
dependents covered. For 2021 the City’s medi-
cal insurance plans are provided through AWC’s
HealthFirst 250 plan, Kaiser Permanente HMO
and LEOFF Trust Plan B & F. For 2021 the an-
ticipated rate increases under AWC’s HealthFirst
250 plan and Keiser are budgeted with a 9% and
9.5% increase. Rates including both LEOFF
Trust plans are not finalized until December
2020.
Pension Plans
Substantially all City full-time and qualifying
part-time employees participate in either a Public
Employees Retirement System (PERS) or the
Law Enforcement Officers and Fire Fighters
(LEOFF) Retirement System. PERS and LEOFF
are statewide local government retirement sys-
tems administered by the Department of Retire-
ment Systems. The personnel budget reflects
increases in the City’s State retirement contribu-
tion rates which were effective September 1,
2020. Employer contribution rates are as follows:
Public Employees Retirement System (PERS),
12.97%, Public Safety Employees Retirement
System (PSERS), 12.14%, and Law Enforcement
Officers and Fire Fighters (LEOFF), 5.33%.
These rates are determined by the State Legisla-
ture.

General Fund Overview
General Fund Overview
The General Fund is the principal governmental
fund of the City and is used to account for all
revenues and expenditures which are not ac-
counted for in any other fund. The majority of
General Fund revenue come from property taxes,
sales taxes, business and occupation taxes, utility
taxes, federal and state grants, fines, and charges
for services. These resources pay for police, fire,
parks, municipal court, police and fire pension,
community development, economic develop-
ment, government facilities, and administration.
Introduction:
Overview
Budgeted General Fund revenue for 2021 incor-
porates anticipated increases of $1.64 million in
taxes, charges for services and transfer-in cate-
gories. License and Permits, Intergovernmental,
Fines and Forfeitures and Miscellaneous revenue
categories are budgeted to decrease by $493k.
Though the combined General Fund revenue has
increased by over $1.15 million, it is important
to note that many of these revenue sources are
economically driven. Additionally, future im-
pacts of COVID-19 are relatively uncertain for
the upcoming year and therefore revenue projec-
tions will remain conservative and monitored
closely in order to provide important services to
our citizens when cash flows may be impacted
by changes in economic activity.
Property Tax
The City’s property tax is levied based on the
assessed property value from the previous year,
as determined by the Kitsap County Assessor.
Annually the City Council sets the property tax
levy as part of the annual budget process. The
levy limit applied to the highest allowed levy is
the lesser of 1% or the IPD for tax districts with
a population greater than 10,000. For this year,

the IPD was less than 1% at .602%. In order to
increase the levy limit up to 1%, a substantial
need resolution must be passed by the
City Council. The budgeted property tax
revenue (including new construction, re-
funds, canceled taxes and supplements) is
$8,155,446.
In addition, the EMS tax levy of forty-seven
cents ($0.47) per thousand dollars ($1,000) of
assessed valuation has been levied with an esti-
mated revenue (including new construction, re-
funds, canceled taxes and supplements) of
$2,086,406.
The following tables recap the City’s recent
property tax levy information along with 2021
estimates. Property tax dollars are allocated
among the state and six taxing districts.

General Fund Overview
Sales & Use Tax
The sales tax rate in Bremerton is 9%. Of this
amount, the City’s portion is .85%, with the bal-
ance going to other agencies. Due to higher than
anticipated sales tax receipts across all categories
for first quarter in 2020, and unprecedented new
construction activity throughout the year, 2020
estimates exceed the 2021 budget by $742k.
The budgeted amount for 2021, including crimi-
nal justice and affordable housing, is $10.1 mil-
lion. This conservative budget projects sales to
rebound in most categories during the second
half of the year and construction to continue at a
higher than average rate.

Other Taxes
The remaining tax revenues compose a small
share of total tax receipts for the City. These
other taxes are as follows:
xAmusement Device Gross Receipts Tax -
rate of 2% on gross revenues
xGambling Taxes (including pull tabs, card
rooms, bingo, raffles, and fundraising) - rates
vary from 2% to 20%
xLeasehold Tax — State tax of 12.84% of
which the City is allocated a 4% portion
The 2021 budget anticipates receipts of $85k
from these sources, which is a essentially un-
changed from the prior year projected receipts.
Licenses and Permits
Bremerton collects license and permit fees that
include, among others, annual business licenses,
building permits, and franchise fees. The Com-
General Fund Overview
Utility Tax
Utility taxes are levied on the gross operating
revenues earned by private and city owned utili-
ties; electric, gas, telephone, cable television,
solid waste, wastewater and stormwater within
Bremerton. In totality, the budget anticipates
$10.2 million from utility taxes; a $87k increase
from the 2020 budget. Gas utility and garbage
solid waste have the highest anticipated increas-
es while remaining utilities are relatively un-
changed from the prior year. By Council action,
stormwater utility tax is now being allocated to
the Residential Street and Transportation Capi-
tal Funds.
Business & Occupation Tax
The City of Bremerton imposes a local business
and occupation tax which applies to the gross
income of businesses that engage in business
activity within the City. Tax rates vary from
0.125% to 0.2% of gross revenue depending on
the classification of business activity. For 2021,
the annual $20k increase in the B&O tax exemp-
tion will increase from $220k to $240k as part of
the continued effort to provide tax relief for
small businesses and reduce the City’s depend-
ency on Business and Occupation Tax revenue.
Business & Occupation Tax is the fourth largest
source of revenue in the General Fund and is
budgeted at $2.9 million in 2021.

General Fund Overview
munity Development Department issues a num-
ber of permits for new construction and develop-
ment including building permits and various
building, plumbing, and mechanical inspection
permits. The 2021 budget anticipates total re-
ceipts of $1.39 million from all of the various
license and permit sources, which is unchanged
from the prior year budget. Construction permits
are also expected to remain consistent with 2020
and account for 65% of the total revenue in this
category; while general business licenses are
anticipated to account for 29%.
Intergovernmental Revenue
Intergovernmental revenues are made up of state
shared revenues, grants, and other intergovern-
mental revenues. State-collected revenues that
are shared with all cities are allocated to individ-
ual jurisdictions on a per capita basis. Popula-
tion figures, determined annually as of April 1
by the State demographer in the Office of Finan-
cial Management, are used as the basis for the
per capita distribution of these funds. For 2021,
the per capita population is 41,750.
The budget includes liquor excise tax receipts
and liquor board profits totaling $566k, which is
a slight decrease from prior years’ budget. To be
eligible to receive liquor taxes and profits, Cities
must devote at least two percent of its distribu-
tion to support an approved alcoholism or drug
addiction program.
Marijuana Excise Tax distributions provide for
state shared revenue for cities and counties. Due
to recent legislation, revenue is allocated in part
by the proportional share of total revenues gen-
erated by licensed retailers physically located
within their jurisdiction, as well as a per capita
allocation. For 2021, the budget includes a mod-
est allocation of $83k in marijuana excise tax
revenue.
State Criminal Justice revenues are distributed
on a per capita basis, and in part, on crime rates.
For 2021, the City anticipates a combined total
revenue of approximately $166k which is ap-
proximately 5% below the prior year. The de-
crease is due to a reduction in reported violent
crime rates within the City.
Total projected intergovernmental revenue for
2021 is $1.98 million, a $378k decrease from
the prior year. The largest revenue source in this
category comes from GEMT and SAFER grants
awarded to the Fire Department. Some of this
funding will support personnel expenses associ-
ated with three new FTEs which have been add-
ed to the department in 2020.
Charges for Service
Plan check fees are charged for development
drawing review prior to the issuance of building
permits and are budgeted at $600k in 2021, a
$190k increase from the prior year.
The City of Bremerton Parks & Recreation De-
partment provides a variety of services for our
residents. The fees from these services include
all participant and sponsorship fees for City rec-
reation programs. Revenue from recreation ac-
tivities are budgeted at $113k for the upcoming
year.
The City of Bremerton Fire and Emergency
Services Department charges a fee for ambu-
lance transport services which is budgeted at
$650k.
Many of the City’s administrative services are
provided centrally for the benefit of all depart-
ments and funds. These costs are allocated to
the proprietary funds. The 2021 charges are
calculated on the basis of the cost allocation
plan and interfund services provided from one
35
fund to another. The budgeted revenue for 2020
is $2.31 million for general government services
and $2.2 million for engineering services.
Fines & Forfeits
The amount received from fines and forfeits in-
cludes traffic citations and other fines imposed
through enforcement of ordinances. The project-
ed revenue for 2021 is $1 million, which is a
4.83% decrease from the prior year. Non-parking
infractions are trending downward and are pro-
jected with an 11.63% decrease while photo en-
forcement penalties, the larges revenue source in
this category, are tending 2.4% below the prior
year budget. Other revenue sources are con-
sistent with 2020.
Miscellaneous Revenues
Miscellaneous revenues include interest on in-
vestments, donations, and other revenues from
lease and rental arrangements. The budgeted rev-
enue from these sources in 2021 is $316k which
is a 1.47% decrease the prior year.
Other Financing Sources
In 2021, other revenue consists of a $541k trans-
fer-in from the General Government Capital Im-
provement Fund for building and facility capital
improvements including major maintenance.
Expenditures
Excluding Ending Fund Balance, the total Gen-
eral Fund expenditures of $49,295,144 are high-
er than the amended 2020 budget by $397k or
1%. Personnel costs continue to be the largest
expense for the General Fund at 72% of total ex-
penditures. Increases in personnel are attributed
to wage adjustments, regular step increases and
the addition of 3.0 FTEs. Supplies and Services,
the second largest expenditure category in the
General Fund, decreased by $50k. The total cap-
ital budget of $540k accounts for improvements
at City owned buildings and facilities. Transfers
to other funds are budgeted at $1.359 million and
support CDBG, Street, Parks Construction Af-
fordable Housing, Contingency Reserve, Confer-
ence Center and Stormwater Operations.

voter approved general obligation bonds

Fund was established to account for the

Introduction
Debt Service Funds Overview
101
Debt Service Funds Overview
Debt management is an important component
of the City’s financial management practices.
Generally, debt financing is reserved for fund-
ing large capital projects.
The public may vote to approve bond issues
for general government in an amount not to
exceed 2.5% of the assessed value of all taxa-
ble property within the City. Within that 2.5%
limit, the City Council may approve bond is-
sues in an amount not to exceed 1.5% of the
City’s assessed valuation. Bremerton’s re-
maining debt capacity within the 2.5% limit is
estimated to be $82,262,765.
The public may also vote to approve park fa-
cilities and utility bond issues, each of which
is also limited to 2.5% of the assessed valua-
tion of taxable property within the City.
Unlimited tax general obligation requires an
approving vote of the people, and any election
to validate such general obligation debt must
have a voter turnout of at least 40 percent of
those who voted in the last general election
and at which 60 percent must vote favorably.
The following table outlines the City’s statu-
tory debt capacity as of September 30, 2020.

Revenue bonds may be issued to finance pro-
jects for any City enterprise that is self-
supporting. These bonds may finance water,
wastewater, stormwater utilities, and golf
courses. Payment for debt service on revenue

ed by the utility for which the capital facility
is being built.

Capital Improvement Funds Overview
Capital Improvement funds account for the
acquisition and/or construction of major capi-
tal projects by the City with the exception of
capital projects undertaken by the City’s en-
terprise funds, which are included within
those funds. The budget includes six capital
improvement funds.
General Government Capital Improvement
This fund accounts for expenditures relat-
ed to various general government capital
improvement projects. These expendi-
tures are in the form of transfers to the
appropriate debt service funds. The pri-
mary source of revenues for this fund is
the Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) re-
ceipts. The REET is levied on all sales of
real estate. The City is authorized, by
State law, to levy a quarter percent tax
(described as “REET 1st Quarter”). Cit-
ies planning under the Growth Manage-
ment Act (GMA) have the authority to
levy a second quarter percent tax (“REET
2nd Quarter”). Bremerton has imposed
both.
Park Facilities Construction
This capital fund accounts for expendi-
tures related to Parks capital improve-
ment projects. Funding for these projects
largely come from a combination of grant
funds, proceeds from the sale of park fa-
cilities as transferred from the contingen-
cy Reserve Fund, and transfers of REET
funds when available for eligible projects
from the General Government Capital
Improvement Fund.
Residential Street and Sidewalk Fund
A dedicated capital construction fund for
the purpose of making capital improve-
ments to the City’s residential streets and
sidewalks.
Transportation Projects Fund
A dedicated capital construction fund for
the purpose of making capital improve-
ments to the City’s street system.
Fire Public Safety Capital
A capital improvement fund established
to account for the purchase of fire appa-
ratus and fire and life safety equipment
and remodel of fire facilities.
Affordable Housing Capital Fund
This new program sets aside capital funds
for future affordable housing projects
designated by Council. Revenue is based
on anticipated construction sales tax re-
ceived from multi-family tax exemption
capital projects.

Employment Security
Internal Service Fund
Summary:
The Employment Security Fund was created
in 2011 by Ordinance 5153. The City is a re-
imbursable employer with the Washington
State Employment Security Department
(ESD). Unemployment benefits paid to a
terminated City employee is reimbursed by
the City to ESD. Previously, the expense was
charged to the department the employee last
worked. By creating a separate fund each
department contributes based on wages paid.
This in effect spreads the expenditure over
time between all departments an employee
worked during his/her tenure. It also allows
for accuracy in budgeting expenditures.

Accumulated Leave Liability
Internal Service Fund
Summary:
The Accumulated Leave Liability Fund was
created in 2011 by Ordinance 5153. Previ-
ously, vacation accrued paid out at termina-
tion was expended in the department the em-
ployee last worked. By creating a separate
fund each department contributes based on
wages paid and it spreads the expenditure
over time between all departments an employ-
ee worked during his/her tenure. This also
allows for accuracy in budgeting expendi-
tures.

Capital Improvement Program Overview
Capital Improvement Program Overview A Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a multiyear
plan that provides a planned and programmed ap-
proach to utilizing the City’s financial resources in
the most efficient manner to meet service and in-
frastructure needs.
The City has prepared a comprehensive capital
projects list as a part of the 2021 annual budget
process. This list provides a six-year view of in-
tended projects and serves as a resource for the
City Council, City staff, and the citizens of
Bremerton in understanding the scope, timing, and
funding of key projects. While funding was iden-
tified as a part of each project description, some
unfunded and underfunded projects have been
included for the future periods of 2021 through
2026 in order to keep them in the forefront as tar-
gets for grants, ballot measures, and other contin-
ued funding efforts. Projects identified to occur in
2021 however were required to have a designated
revenue source and are integrated into the City’s
annual budget.
The 2021 – 2026 Capital Improvement Plan is
comprised of general-purpose (municipal capital
improvements), transportation, and utility pro-
jects. On September 21, 2005 the Council adopt-
ed a Wastewater Comprehensive Plan by Resolu-
tion No. 2979 with an update approved on Decem-
ber 17, 2014 by Ordinance No. 5268. In addition,
on December 20, 2006 the City Council adopted a
Water System Plan by Ordinance No. 4992 which
was amended by Resolution No. 3195 on June 19,
2013. Finally, on October 19, 2011 the City
Council adopted a separate Transportation Im-
provement Plan by Resolution No. 3154 with the
most recent amending Resolution No. 3328 adopt-
ed on July 15, 2020. These individual components
of Bremerton’s Capital Improvement Plan are
summarized and then incorporated into this city-
wide Capital Improvement Plan. These separate
plans as previously adopted encompass the vast
majority of the City’s planned capital programs
and include detailed information on the scope,
timing, and reason for their being undertaken.
Readers are encouraged to review the separate
transportation and utility system capital plans to
learn more about the significant programs de-
scribed for these specific areas.
The City of Bremerton considers its six-year capi-
tal plan as a long-range plan for addressing capital
needs. The purposes and goals of the CIP are to:
xProvide capital facilities and infrastructure
that are needed by the community for civic pur-
poses and support the vision of Bremerton’s future
as articulated in the Comprehensive Plan.
xSupport the provision of City services con-
sistent with the expectations of the community, as
expressed in the City’s declared level of service
standards.
xPreserve levels of service as growth and de-
velopment add new demands.
xProvide facilities that meet special needs of
the community, rehabilitate and/or replace the
City’s facilities and infrastructure to extend useful
life and assure continued efficiency.
In developing the Capital Improvement Plan, the
Department of Community Development has
worked with Financial Services to ensure that the
information required by the Growth Management
Act (GMA) has been included in the plan. plan.

Capital Improvement Plan Process
The annual update of the capital improvement
plan began with a request to the City depart-
ments to submit a list of various capital improve-
ment projects to be considered. This was initiat-
ed during July 2020 as the start of the scheduled
annual budget development. Financial Services
then compiled this list and ensured throughout
the development of the annual operating budget
that the CIP was kept current and consistent with
the operating budget submittals and with the re-
cently adopted Transportation Improvement
Plan, Wastewater Comprehensive Plan, and Wa-
ter System Plan, – all of which were prepared
separately by the Public Works Department and
adopted by the City Council after separate study
sessions and public hearings. The final Capital
Improvement Plan is now presented herein to-
gether with the proposed annual budget to the
City Council for approval. The Council will
hold public hearings to review the Capital Im-
provement Plan and annual budget. Upon com-
pletion of the public hearing process, the Capital
Improvement Plan and annual budget will then
be formally adopted by Ordinance.
Overview of the 2021 – 2026 Capital Improve-
ment Plan
The 2021 – 2026 Capital Improvement Plan sup-
ports the City’s continued commitment to revi-
talization of Bremerton with the inclusion of ma-
jor projects that are part of the plan for redevel-
opment and revitalization, along with other pro-
jects that rehabilitate or restore existing infra-
structure, including major maintenance projects
identified in the plan. The City’s capitalization
policy defines capital assets as tangible objects
of a long-term character that will continue to be
held or used such as land, buildings, machinery,
furniture, and other equipment with a life expec-
tancy greater than one year and having a value of
$10,000 or greater.
While the majority of expenditures identified in
the Capital Improvement Plan are capital ex-
penditures, there are programs included that are
not characterized as “capital” per the City’s ac-
counting policy on capitalization, but are includ-
ed in the CIP due to their significant impact on
infrastructure, utility rates and as required by
state RCW to ensure appropriate eligibility for
the use of Real Estate Excise Tax to fund these
efforts.

Financial Goals & Policies
Resolution No. 3247
The City of Bremerton is accountable to its
citizens for the efficient use of public dollars.
Resources entrusted to the City should be
used in a manner that provides services, pub-
lic facilities, and infrastructure necessary to
meet the needs of the community – both for
today and for the future. The following fi-
nancial goals and policies establish a frame-
work of financial health and stability that is
required to meet those expectations.
The goals expressed here define what consti-
tutes a “good outcome” for the city in regards
to financial planning and decisions. Goals
indicate the objectives - while the policies
describe actual boundaries (or measurable)
that are deemed necessary to achieve those
goals.
Goals for Financial Sustainability –
xDiversified annual resources that are suf-
ficient to provide for the regular and on-
going operations associated with core city
services – plus enough additional margins
to cover debt service requirements and
normal (average) ongoing capital expend-
itures.
xDebt financing should be used to smooth
the effects of unusual or significant
amounts of capital expenditures and/or to
finance facilities that are dedicated to the
benefit of limited users (for example –
Local Improvement District “LID”).
Policy -
xThe budget and financial plans of the City
shall balance recurring operating expens-
es, debt service, and average ongoing cap-
ital requirements to recurring operating
revenue. Average ongoing capital re-
quirements are defined to include pay-
ments necessary to the various Internal
Service funds (i.e. ER&R, and Infor-
mation Technology) and average recurring
capital expenditures.
xBefore the City undertakes capital expend-
itures or accepts grant funds, the ongoing
costs and commitments should be de-
scribed fully including identification of the
revenue sources expected to provide for
such ongoing costs- so that proper consid-
eration may be given to the longer term
financial sustainability of the project or
commitment.
xWhere possible, grants or contributions of
capital will be identified for proposed City
expenditures.
xDeficit financing and borrowing will not
be used to support on-going City services
and operations. Expenses will be reduced
to conform to the long-term revenue fore-
cast. Interfund loans are permissible to
cover temporary gaps in cash flow, but
only from moneys in excess of anticipated
cash needs throughout the duration of the
loan and legally available for investment.
All loans shall be supported by a clear ex-
pectation and schedule for repayment.
Interest shall be assessed based on the cur-
Financial Goals & Policies 169
rent Washington State Local Government
Investment Pool rate unless the borrowing
fund has no other source of revenue other
than the lending fund; or the borrowing
fund is normally funded by the lending
fund. xCash balances in excess of the amount re-
quired to maintain strategic reserves may
be used to fund one-time or non-recurring
costs. Preference should be given to uses
that reduce ongoing expenses (for exam-
ple - early retirement of debt).
xReplacement Reserves based on expected
replacement cost will be collected and
placed in the Equipment Rental and Re-
serve Fund (ER&R) for equipment (other
than computer equipment) or vehicles
(other than fire engines) with a value of
$20,000 or more if it is expected to be a
continued need beyond its estimated initial
useful life. The cost of computer equip-
ment replacement will be included in the
annual payments made to the Information
Technology Fund (IT) for each computer
by its using department. These payments
are based on an expected five-year re-
placement schedule. In addition to ER&R
and IT, other internal service funds may
be established to appropriately account for
and collect expenses for specific costs
with the approval of the Mayor and the
City Council. An amount equal to the an-
nual fractional estimated cost of replace-
ments based on the expected useful life of
assets will be included in the service
charges paid by City departments to the
various Internal Service funds (i.e. Equip-
ment Rental & Reserve fund and Infor-
mation Technology). Replacement cost
will be reevaluated periodically through-
out the life of the asset and replacement
reserve charges adjusted accordingly. As-
sets with an initial value less than $20,000
may be included in the Equipment Rental
and Reserve Fund upon request by the us-
ing department with the approval of the
Director of Public Works and Utilities and
the Director of Financial Services.
xLong-term borrowing will be confined to
significant capital improvements (or simi-
lar projects) which have an extended life
and when it is not practicable to be fi-
nanced from current revenues. All other
available and appropriate sources of fi-
nancing should be exhausted before long
term borrowing is pursued.
xBonds cannot be issued for a longer ma-
turity schedule than a conservative esti-
mate of the weighted average useful lives
of the assets to be financed. The City will
keep the average maturity of general obli-
gation bonds at or below twenty years.
xWhere possible, the City will use special
assessment revenue, or other self-
supporting bonds instead of general obli-
gation bonds.
xThe City Utility Systems shall strive to
maintain a minimum debt service cover-
age (annual gross revenues less annual
operating and maintenance expenses di-
vided by annual debt service) of the com-
bined Utilities (Water, Wastewater,
Stormwater) of at least 1.5x.
Goals for Financial Flexibility –
xSufficient operating reserves (working
capital) to manage monthly and daily
cash flow variability.
xAdequate liquidity to provide for limited
interruptions in revenues (natural disas-
ters, unexpected loss of revenue source,
etc).
xContingency and reserve funds should be
Financial Goals & Policies 170
available for use in the event of emergen-
cy and/or unforeseen events.
xResources restricted by external sources
or enabling legislation should be used
first, then unrestricted resources as need-
ed. Unrestricted resources should be re-
duced in the following order: funds com-
mitted by ordinance, funds assigned or
earmarked for a particular purpose, and
then unassigned.
Policy –
xThe City will maintain reserves required
by law, ordinance, and/or bond cove-
nants.
xThe City will strive to maintain ending
cash and investment balances in the Gen-
eral Fund of no less than 8.5% of total
planned annual operating expenses.
xThe City will strive to maintain ending
cash and investment balances of no less
than 12% of total planned annual operat-
ing expenses for the Gold Mountain Golf
Complex, Water Utility, Wastewater Util-
ity, and Stormwater Utility.
xThe City shall strive to maintain a mini-
mum reserve fund balance in the Self In-
sured Health and Welfare Reserve Fund
of at least four months of Program ex-
penses or at an amount recommended by
an independent actuary, whichever is
greater.
xThe City will strive to maintain a balance
of at least the equivalent of thirty-seven
and one-half cents per thousand dollars of
assessed valuation of property within the
City in the Contingency Reserve fund as
a provision for unforeseen or catastrophic
events and emergencies.
Goals for Stewardship of Public Funds –
xMaintain public trust and confidence by
utilizing resources in the most efficient
manner possible.
xExpenditures should be necessary to ei-
ther:
¡ meet regulatory requirements
¡provide core city services
¡contribute to the achievement of stat-
ed goals and policies
¡or undertaken in anticipation of an
emerging requirement.
Policy –
xBudget managers will provide sufficient
documentation to support requested
budget appropriations and in a manner
that clearly demonstrates that the ex-
penditure is necessary to either meet reg-
ulatory requirements, provide core city
services, or contributes to the achieve-
ment of stated goals or policies of the
City.
xA comprehensive multi-year (minimum
of six years) plan for City capital im-
provements will be prepared and updated
annually. The Capital Improvement Plan
will be consistent with and support the
City’s Comprehensive Plan. The Com-
prehensive Plan service level goals
should be included in the Capital Im-
provement Plan.
Goals for Accountability –
xReports demonstrating the status of finan-
Financial Goals & Policies 171
cial activity and results should be pre-
pared on a timely basis and in compliance
with BARS and GAAP accounting re-
quirements.
xReports showing the status of financial
policy compliance should be provided
periodically.
xEnsure the legal use of public assets
through an effective system of internal
controls. To ensure all local, state, and
federal rules are followed.
Policy -
xAn annual audit will be performed by the
State Auditor’s Office and include the
issuance of a financial opinion. A Com-
prehensive Annual Financial Report shall
be prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP)
and shall be distributed to the City Coun-
cil, Mayor, Director of Financial Ser-
vices, Department Directors, City Audit
Committee, and any other interested par-
ty.
xQuarterly a budget status report will be
prepared and distributed to the City
Council, Mayor, and Department Direc-
tors providing an overview of financial
activities for the City with comparison to
the approved budget. Information on the
status of compliance with financial poli-
cies will be provided in this report.
xRegular monthly financial statements will
be prepared on a timely basis and posted
for review on the City’s internet and in-
tranet site.
xThe City will maintain a budgetary con-
trol system to ensure compliance with the
approved budget.
xThe City will maintain adequate internal
controls to safeguard public assets. The
Director of Financial Services will work
cooperatively with the City’s Internal Au-
ditor and the Audit Committee to identify
and address material deficiencies in inter-
nal controls.
xThe City shall manage and invest its re-
sidual cash through the City Treasurer on
a continuous basis in accordance with the
City’s investment policies and within the
guidelines established by the Washington
State Statutes based upon the following
order of priorities: 1) safety, 2) liquidity,
and 3) yield.

Glossary
Glossary Accounting System
The set of records and procedures that are
used to record, classify, and report infor-
mation as to the financial status and operating
conditions of an entity.
Accrual Basis of Accounting
Under this accounting method, transactions
are recognized when they occur, regardless of
the timing of related cash receipts and dis-
bursements. Proprietary (enterprise and inter-
nal service) and non-expendable trust funds
use this basis of accounting.
Actual
Actual, as used in the fund summaries, reve-
nue summaries and department and division
summaries within the budget document, rep-
resents the actual financial results. This cate-
gory is presented on a budgetary basis, and
thus excludes full-accrual audit items such as
depreciation and amortization.
Ad Valorem Tax
A tax based on the assessed value of a proper-
ty.
Adopted Budget
Adopted, as used in the fund summaries and
department and division summaries within the
budget document, represents the final budget
approved by the City Council. The adopted
budget becomes effective January 1st. Subse-
quent to adoption, Council may make changes
throughout the year.
Appropriation
An authorization made by the City Council
that permits officials to make expenditures or
incur obligations against governmental re-
sources. Appropriations are usually made for
fixed amounts and are typically granted for a
one year period. Multi-year appropriations
can also be established for capital project and
other special purpose funds. Multi-year ap-
propriation authority remains in effect until
the amount appropriated has been totally ex-
pended or until the fund, program, or project
is closed because its assigned purpose has
been changed or accomplished.
Assessed Valuation
The assessed value (AV) set on taxable prop-
erty as a basis for levying property taxes
placed upon real and personal property by the
Kitsap County Assessor.
Assets
Resources having a monetary value and that
are owned or held by an entity.
Audit
An annual financial report prepared by an in-
dependent auditor. A comprehensive audit
document contains a summary statement of
the scope of the audit, explanatory comments
concerning any exceptions to generally ac-
cepted auditing standards, explanatory com-
ments concerning verification procedures, fi-
nancial statements and schedules, statistical
information, supplemental comments, and any
finding or recommendations.
B.A.R.S.
The prescribed “Budgeting, Accounting and
Reporting System” where compliance is re-
quired for all governmental entities within the
State of Washington.
Balanced Budget
Revenues (including Beginning Fund Bal-
207
ance) equals or exceeds expenditures
(including Ending fund Balance).
Beginning Fund Balance
The beginning fund balance is the residual
fund balances representing unused funds
brought forward from the previous financial
year (ending fund balance).
Bond
A debt instrument with a written promise to
pay a specified principal amount along with
periodic interest at specific future dates.
Bonds are typically used for financing of spe-
cific capital expenditures.
Budget
A budget is a financial operational plan in-
cluding an estimate of proposed expenditures
and the means of financing them. Used with-
out any modifier, the term usually indicates a
financial plan for a certain period of time, typ-
ically one or two years. In practice, the term
budget is used in two ways. Sometimes it
designates the financial plan presented for
adoption and other times it designates the plan
finally approved. It is usually necessary to
specify whether the budget under considera-
tion is preliminary and proposed, or whether
the appropriating body has approved it.
Budget Amendment
A change to a budget adopted in accordance
with State law. A budget may be amended to
increase expenditures/expenses at the fund
level by ordinance without public notice or
public hearing requirements, when unantici-
pated revenues occur or emergencies exist
(RCW 35A.33.080 and 35A.33.120). Also
called Supplemental Appropriation.
Budget Calendar
A schedule of key dates or milestones that the
City follows in preparation and adoption of
the budget.
Budget Document
A written report showing a government’s
comprehensive financial plan for a specified
period, typically one or two years, that in-
cludes both capital and operations.
Budget Message
Written explanation of the budget as proposed
by the Mayor including the City’s financial
priorities, policies, and target goals for the
coming budget period.
Budgetary Basis
Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent
with Generally Accepted Accounting Princi-
ples (GAAP), with the exception that neither
depreciation nor amortization is budgeted for
proprietary funds and bond principal in the
enterprise funds is subject to appropriation.
Capital (Outlay/Asset)
Expenditures made to acquire, reconstruct, or
construct major fixed or capital assets. A
fixed asset is a tangible object of a long-term
character that will continue to be held or used
such as land, buildings, machinery, furniture,
and other equipment. A capital asset must
exceed $5,000 in cost and have an expected
live expectancy of 12 months. For purposes
of this definition, a “fixed asset” includes a
group of items purchased together that will be
used for a “single purpose” that could not be
used effectively by themselves.
Capital Improvement Fund
Account for the acquisition or construction of
major capital facilities, with exception to
those facilities financed by proprietary and
trust funds.
Glossary 208

government services while investing tempo-
rary cash excesses in order to earn investment

A statistical description of price levels provid-
ed by the U.S. Department of Labor. The in-
dex is used as a measure of the increase in the
cost of living (i.e., economic inflation).
Contingency
A budgetary reserve set aside for emergencies
or unforeseen expenditures not otherwise
budgeted. Contingency may be appropriated
for a specific purpose by the City Council up-
on the approval of a resolution. The City can
separate contingencies into those that are des-
ignated for specific purposes and undesignat-
ed (also see Designated Contingency and Un-
appropriated Ending Fund Balance).
Debt Service
Principal and Interest on outstanding bonds
due and payable during the fiscal year.
Debt Service Fund
Established to account for the accumulation of
resources and for the payment of general obli-
gation debt that have been approved by the
voters. It would exclude Enterprise fund debt
and contractual obligations accounted for in
other individual funds.
Department
An organizational unit usually within a fund,
though in a broader sense, a department can
encompass more than one fund. Departments
can further be segregated into Divisions.
Division

with providing a service, permitting and activ-
ity or imposing a fine.
Fiscal Management
A government’s directive with respect to rev-

tain objectives.
Fund Balance
The amount of an entity’s assets above the
amount of its liabilities. A negative fund bal-
Glossary
210
ance is sometimes called a deficit. An un-
designated fund balance reflects historical re-
ceipts less than historical expenditures in non-
proprietary funds. When all designated and
reserved resources are removed or deducted in
arriving at the year-end undesignated fund
balance, the remaining value is that available
for budgetary appropriation. Also called End-
ing Fund Balance.
General Fund
Accounts for all receipts and disbursement
transactions associated with ordinary City op-
erations not required to be accounted for in
another fund. This fund is both tax and gen-
eral revenue supported. Major revenue
sources for the General Fund include proper-
ty, sales, excise taxes, and miscellaneous per-
mits and fees.
General Long-term Debt
Represents any unmatured debt not consid-
ered to be a fund liability. General Obligation
Bonds (G.O. Bonds) are secured by the full
faith and credit of the issuer. G.O. bonds is-
sued by local units of government are secured

service deemed to benefit primarily those
properties.
Modified Accrual Basis

used in governmental funds (general, special
revenue, debt service, and capital project
funds), expendable trust, and agency funds.
Under it, revenues and other financial re-
source increments are recognized when they
become both measurable and available to fi-
