SUBJECT: Study Session Date: July 24, 2024
Contract Modification Agreement No. 1 with
Parametrix, Inc. for Francis Street Outfall
Improvements Project
COUNCIL MEETING Date: August 7, 2024
Department: Public Works & Utilities
Presenter: D. Dinkuhn
Phone: (360) 473-5331
SUMMARY:
The consultant had submitted the 90% PS&E package, and Operations staff were confirming field
conditions, when a previously unknown 18-inch outfall was uncovered. The second outfall will
provide sufficient capacity for the system and simplifies permitting for the project. However, use of
this second outfall necessitates a significant redesign of the project, redoing a wetlands report, and
additional survey. This modification will increase the project budget to include costs for the project
redesign, wetlands report, additional survey, and contract time. This additional design cost is offset
by an approximate $235,000 savings in construction costs from the original design.
ATTACHMENTS:
1. Contract Modification Agreement #1

FISCAL IMPACTS (Include Budgeted Amount):
The original contract amount was $101,532 and this contract modification will increase the contract
amount by $85,190. The new contract total is $186,722. This increase in the contract amount is
included in the current project budget.

Modification 1 City of Bremerton
Francis Street Stormwater Treatment Retrofit
Modification 1
Introduction
This document describes Parametrix’s proposed scope of work (SOW) for additional engineering
design under our current contract for the Francis Street Stormwater Treatment Project. Exhibit B
shows an updated schedule with anticipated construction occurring in 2025. Our proposed budget is
attached as Exhibit C.
The scope of work modification describes additional effort needed for changing the design concept
at the 90%. The new design removes the proposed outfall and alters conveyance to split flows
between the two existing outfalls.
Main Elements of this SOW Modification:
•Perform engineering analysis and design as required to complete the 100% and Bid Set design
submittals with the water quality treatment system in the Francis Street stormwaterconveyance system.•Prepare and update all plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E).
•Propose a new schedule to accommodate the modified construction date.
General Project Assumptions
•The treatment system location (Stormfilter, CDS, and Stormgate) will not be modified from the
90% PS&E submitted on 04/04/24.
•Modeling to size the treatment system and for a backwater analysis has been performed under
management reserve budget, no additional modeling is required.
•Project management (Task 01) time will be added as part of this modification to accommodate
the updated project schedule.
•Permitting (Task 03) time will be added as part of this modification to update the permits per
the design changes.
•In April 2024, the city requested an updated 90% PS&E set that included the design change
to remove the proposed outfall and change the treatment layout. This redesign was an
additional iteration beyond the original scope of work, and this additional effort was expended
under Task 05 Final Design. This modification will add budget to Task 05 to complete the
100%, Draft Bid Set, and Final Bid Set PS&E packages.
•Survey (Task 06) time will be added as part of this modification to add Temporary Construction
Easement (TCE) Exhibits to the survey scope.
Specific tasks for this SOW modification are described below.

Unauthorized Camping
ORDINANCE NO. ________
AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the City of
Bremerton, Washington, amending Chapter 9.32 of the Bremerton
Municipal Code entitled “Unauthorized Camping” and repealing
certain portions of Chapter 9.32 which require the City to suspend
enforcement of unauthorized camping when overnight shelter is not
available.
WHEREAS, in Martin v. Boise, 920 F. 3d 584 (9th Cir. 2019), the Ninth Circuit
Court of Appeals held that the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits
cities from enforcing ordinances criminalizing camping on all public property when there is no
available shelter; and
WHEREAS, in Johnson v. City of Grants Pass, United States Court of Appeals,
Ninth Circuit, Nos. 20-35752, 20-35881 decided September 28, 2022, amended July 5, 2023, the
Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals held that ordinances that operate to make it “nearly impossible”
to sleep outside with any form of bedding or shelter, or in a vehicle, on public lands violate the
Cruel and Unusual Punishment clause of the United States Constitution; and
WHEREAS, in City of Grants Pass v. Johnson, 601 U.S. ____ (2024), the
Supreme Court held that the Eighth Amendment’s Cruel and Unusual Punishment Clause does
not prohibit the enforcement of generally applicable laws regulating camping on public property
and reversed the Ninth Circuit’s prohibition on enforcement when no shelter space is available;
and
WHEREAS, the Supreme Court reasoned that public camping regulations are
used to provide local government employees with the legal authority to address encampments
that pose significant health and safety risks, to encourage their inhabitants to accept other
alternatives such as shelters, drug treatment programs, and mental health facilities, and to allow
local governments to focus on expending resources to help the homeless community while also
ensuring public spaces are safe and clean in a manner consistent with local needs; and
WHEREAS, despite City and regional efforts to provide housing, shelter, and
related services, illegal encampments continue to proliferate and result in large expenditures of
resources for many City departments, such as Law Enforcement, Fire & EMS, Public Works, and
Parks; and
WHEREAS, illegal encampments create numerous safety and health hazards for
all citizens of Bremerton, causing local businesses, community centers, shipyard employees,
property owners, and residents to bear the burden of the conditions brought about by the
encampments, and
Page 2 of 5
BMC 9.32
Unauthorized Camping
WHEREAS, various resources for citizens around the city are disproportionately
impacted by unauthorized camping and the City’s paramount priority is to provide a safe
environment for those resources and the citizens utilizing them; and
WHEREAS, should there be no shelter space available due to closures, natural
disaster, overflow of persons seeking shelter, or any other variety of unforeseen circumstances,
the ability to keep peace and safety on public property would be greatly diminished as the City is
currently unable to enforce its unauthorized camping laws when no shelter space is available;
and
WHEREAS, illegal encampments have demonstrated a trend of abuse of illicit
drugs, resulting in multiple deaths, and it would be cruel for the City to allow these conditions to
exist once again; and
WHEREAS, the City recognizes the plight of unhoused persons and therefore has
engaged the services of Commonstreet, an organization specifically versed in helping unhoused
persons get the assistance they need to change their situation, and limiting Commonstreet to only
shelters within the City hinders their ability to assist unhoused persons obtain necessary
resources such as drug and behavioral counseling that does not exist locally; and
WHEREAS, the intent of this ordinance is to provide assistance to the unhoused
population without requiring the City to reach outside of long-held governmental provisions for
services, and public safety for residents, businesses and local employees transiting each day is
the paramount priority of the City; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Article XI, Section 11 of the Washington Constitution
and RCW 35.22, and the Charter of the City of Bremerton, the City of Bremerton is authorized to
regulate public property; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to amend the provisions relating to
suspension of enforcement of unauthorized camping regulations when overnight shelter space is
not available in order to promote public health, safety, and welfare by preserving public use of
public spaces for which they are intended; NOW THEREFORE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BREMERTON, WASHINGTON,

By 2023, those 4 locations were responsible for 6.2% of all calls handled by BPD.
For 2024, we are on track for another increase-thus far, the area is responsible for
7.2% of calls for service.
Just for comparison, numbers for 10th and 11th St. were ran for the same time periods.
In 2019, they were responsible for .3% of all calls.
In 2023, they were responsible for 1% of all calls.
So far in 2024, they were responsible for 1.3% of all calls. In addition to BPD calls for service and response to those locations, BFD also

Public Works Costs/Impacts related to Homeless
Response
Calls to Bremerton1 that required response:
•2023: 368 of 1969 total calls were related to
homeless concerns.
•2024 through June 30th: 235 of 1277 total calls were
related to homeless concerns, on pace for 30%
increase over 2023. Note that 104 of these calls
were forwarded to Commonstreets.
Impacts By Division
CUSTOMER RESPONSE / ADMINISTRATION
Almost 20% of all calls are homeless-related
Customer Responder:
o Used to back-up the Water Crew when not on a call but can’t now since
he’s busy picking up abandoned shopping carts (20+/-per week), and
messes around town.
o Essentially “on-call” with Commonstreets to respond to garbage pick-
up requests.
o Spends approximately 30% of his time responding to homeless-related
issues.
o Will be lead in weekly (3X/week) and as needed application of a
sanitizer/deodorizer in problem areas.
STREET MAINTENANCE
Level of cleanup varies but includes daily trash pick-up on MLK and
surrounding areas.
Also “on-call” with Commonstreets to respond to garbage clean-up when
Customer Responder is busy, or garbage volume is too large.
Larger cleanups impact the full staff –examples include regular pickup
of furniture and mattresses downtown. Also, last December the street
crew had to construct a road through Utility Land property to clean-up a
large encampment in Gorst.
Impacts By Division
FACILITIES
Parking garage cleaning used to be 1-day/week (2 FTEs) but has increased
to 3-days/week. Considering increasing to daily due to increased levels
(daily) of trash and feces/urine.
Began 3X/week program to sanitize/deodorize unsanitary areas in all
parking garages early last year.
On-call/weekly cleanup of feces/urine along with sanitizing and
deodorizing at the Library. On-call/monthly similar cleanup at the
Court building.
Facilities also provides first response for cleanup at all water
facilities including reservoirs, pump stations, etc.
STORM/SEWER
Diverted a SD Catch Basin on MLK to the Sanitary Sewer for sanitary
purposes.
Are formalizing a program of bi-weekly cleaning of the Storm system due
to recent complaints.
Will coordinate application of sanitizer/deodorizer as needed.
Public Works Costs related to Homeless Response
Recorded costs -note this does not include equipment
costs, programmed storm system cleaning and
disinfection, nor admin staff or manager’s time:
•2023 –$91,650
•2024 through June -$43,650
These costs under-represent the impact to staff since
field crews are regularly pulled from other work to
address homeless concerns.
Note that $100,000 equates to:
•About 9% of the total Street Major Maintenance
budget,
•The cost to construct about 1,000-lf of sidewalk,
•The cost to pave about 1-lane mile of roadway.

Good morning, Mayor.
First off, I want to thank you for the open transparent communication with council. You’re willingness to do that with me is so important and much appreciated for the smooth flow of government operations. Looking at our agenda July 24 is the best day to be heard on this issue after connecting with our Public Safety Chair and Vice Chair there is a possibility that council will likely want this issue to go back to that committee. Let’s roll with that for the plan. I am copying our staff to make sure your item is on the July 24 agenda for hearing. For transparency I also want you to know that I’ve briefed Tony Ives who will connect with the housing partners including Jill Stanton.
I value and appreciate you and your staff in the hard work you all undertake in support of Bremerton.

Dear Council President Chamberlin,
Thank you for talking with me on the phone this morning. Chief Wolfe and I are proposing to bring
forward an ordinance removing the shelter provisions from the current camping ordinance in light of
the recent supreme court ruling that allows jurisdictions to enforce camping ordinances. We are
proposing to bring this forward on July 10th at the next regularly scheduled study session. Per our
conversation you mentioned that July 24th may be a better date for a study session presentation or
possibly working the through the Public Safety Committee Chair to establish a process starting at the
committee level. We will standby to meet whatever date, time, and/or process you require and
respectfully request this be prioritized.

Corrected Article: Kitsap Sun Response to City Council Meeting Schedule
Monday, July 8, 2024 2:54:40 PM
Corrections & Clarifications: A previous version of this article incorrectly
indicated a Bremerton City Council public hearing scheduled for July 24,
when the council discusses amending an ordinance on unauthorized
camping. There will be a meeting, but no public hearing.
Supreme Court decision on homeless camping
changes sweeps. What will that mean in Kitsap?
Bremerton watched on as a large homeless encampment grew month over month on
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Way during the summer of 2023, where campers pitched
tents and tarps next to one another behind the Salvation Army and where garbage and
drug paraphernalia would sometimes fall. Service providers and law enforcement
frequented the area while neighbors called on the city for solutions to clear the streets.
Now, a ruling from the Supreme Court of the United States issued last week has given
local governments the power to ensure they never see an encampment like MLK Jr.
Way again. For Bremerton, that assurance also means its homeless population could
face arrest for sleeping outside if a new shelter isn’t erected by the time the Salvation
Army closes its overnight shelter next spring.
The Supreme Court on June 28 upheld a camping ban from Grants Pass, Oregon, with
a 6-to-3 vote split along ideological lines. The decision overturned the United States
Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit’s previous decision in 2021 and unraveled
protections provided by the same court in its 2019 ruling on Martin vs. Boise, which
prohibited cities and counties from enforcing their anti-camping laws if no shelter
space was available. That precedent had prevented the City of Bremerton from
sweeping its growing encampments until November 1, 2023 when the Salvation Army
reopened its 75-bed overnight shelter.
The Supreme Court found that the bans set in place by Grants Pass did not violate the
Eighth Amendment’s prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment, ruling opposite
to the Ninth Circuit that sided with the six homeless people who sued the City of Boise
on the same basis. Grants Pass argued in its appeal to the Supreme Court that “public-
camping laws are a critical (and constitutional) backstop as cities attempt to stop the
growth of encampments and start to make progress on the underlying causes of
homelessness.”
In his opinion for the conservative majority, Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch
wrote that federal judges will not decide for individual jurisdictions how they should
address their homelessness crises. While it is unclear how cities across Washington
State will apply the protections of the ruling to their own policies, the Grants Pass
decision has inspired new legislation in Bremerton.
Outlawed camping with no requirement of shelter
Bremerton’s camping ordinance, passed by the City Council in September, made it a
gross misdemeanor to camp without authorization on public property, like sidewalks.
But the ordinance suspends the city’s ability to enforce the camping ban when there is
no available shelter, naming Martin v. Boise and appellate court’s ruling on Grants
Pass v. Johnson itself as a legal predicate.
Now, Bremerton Mayor Greg Wheeler is working with his administration to draft a
replacement ordinance to remove the provision of available shelter.
“We cannot go back to where we were last summer. We cannot have our streets be so
overtaken, our small businesses in our neighborhoods, their safety be compromised,”
Wheeler said. “We already know that when we had camping on our streets, we had
overdoses, we had assaults. It was essentially lawless.”
Wheeler said he wants a low-barrier shelter option in the city and to be able to show
compassion for the city’s homeless population, but that his “highest priority is
keeping our community safe” by keeping public spaces open and allowing small
businesses to thrive.
Wheeler will propose the new ordinance to the council on July 24. If it passes in
August, the city will be able to punish homeless campers for sleeping outside whether
or not there is shelter space available.
Council president Jennifer Chamberlin believes personally that “you can't regulate
people out of homelessness. We need more services, diverse resources, and
compassionate strategies,” but is committed to act as a nonpartisan voice of the
community and welcomes public comment via email to the City Council. She said her
“decision will be weighed on public comment” whether or not to adopt the ordinance.
Building Bremerton’s next homeless shelter
One key to whether homeless population could face arrest for unauthorized camping
is whether the Kitsap County Affordable Housing Taskforce completes a new city next
shelter in less than a year.
The city council resolved in January to pass up Wheeler’s proposal for an
approximately 100-bed low-barrier shelter and pursue a hybrid shelter from the
coalition of housing and homelessness service providers that would create both a
congregate 50-bed shelter and a 40 unit pallet shelter village. Wheeler said his shelter
would be ready by October 2024, and worked out a deal with the Salvation Army
to extend its shelter service from May 2024 to May 2025 to buy the city some time.
The Kitsap Rescue Mission is set to open its 75-bed Pacific Building shelter on Mile
Hill Drive in Port Orchard by October 2024 at the earliest, but plans to move many of
its approximately 100 homeless guests at the Quality Inn on Kitsap Way to the new
shelter first.
“We are not a shelter and we don't mind filling in the gaps, but at some point, it has to
end,” said Salvation Army Captain Dana Walters. The nonprofit must convert its day
center into a shelter every night, then convert it back the next day. “We're really
hoping that's the spring of 2025… like everyone is expecting.”
The Affordable Housing Taskforce originally told the council in January that it
planned to complete both its congregate and pallet shelters by October 2024, adhering
to the same timeline as Wheeler's now-moot shelter proposal. Now, its timeline has
become more elusive.
“For whatever reason that (homeless people) are living on the streets, whether that's
trauma, mental health, drug addiction, those are all difficult places to be and no easy
answers,” Walters said. “It would be great if there was somewhere to go, but we've just
not been prepared, or we have just not taken care of this as we should have. I don't
think anybody saw the level of homelessness that this country's in, coming down the
pike.”
A property in East Bremerton known as the SwingSetMall was originally eyed as a
potential site for the hybrid shelter. After the asking price became more than the
Affordable Housing Taskforce could offer, the taskforce is left without a definitive site.
It has been working hard to identify a new one, said Bremerton Housing Authority
Executive Director Jill Stanton.
Stanton could not share the location of any prospective sites, nor a rough date that the
shelter would be completed by. But she said the taskforce has been making headway,
providing almost 150 housing choice voucher referrals to move along the continuum
of housing into specialized shelters with full waitlists, drug treatment facilities or
transitional housing. The taskforce also faced delays when it discovered the city’s
temporary encampment code needed to be amended to accommodate its long term
shelter. The city’s planning commission recommended the City Council approve the
amendments during its July 3 meeting.
“For the housing authority, we certainly believe that our whole community is safer
when our community is housed, so we have a sense of urgency not necessarily tied to
(the unauthorized camping) ordinance,” Stanton said. “This decision doesn't change
our urgency to be a part of this project and to get it done.”
The taskforce’s goal has always been to complete the hybrid shelter before the
Salvation Army closes its shelter function, Stanton said. She believes they’re on track
to be finished by May 2025.
But as a result of the Grants Pass decision, “we're fearful that all those plans are just
going to go to the wayside because now they don't have to provide shelter,” said Dawn
Michele Wilson of Rock the Block, a community-based homeless service provider. She
worries the decision has stripped the city of its incentive to invest in the shelter
project, opting instead to focus its energy on outlawing camping.
There are now 255 unsheltered homeless people in Kitsap County, with 51% of those
living in Bremerton, according to the 2024 Point in Time Count. The Kitsap
Sun reported in April that it takes time for service providers to connect unhoused
people with shelter and services. Kitsap County’s HEART team made 37 successful
shelter connections from 286 site visits (a 13% success rate), according to its 2023
year end review. Homeless people may be reluctant to enter a low barrier shelter for
many reasons, some being mental health barriers, having pets, addiction issues, fear
for safety and comfort and simply not wanting to comply with rules.
“As far as cities and counties and neighborhoods, I'm glad they have a way to preserve
places for kids and parks and safe places where other people in society live,” Walters
said, but people need shelter, and they need diverse options within that. “There's just
such a vast variety of needs that I don't think there's a ‘one size fits all.’”
Enforcement is a guarantee, even if shelter isn’t
“I still will enforce this anti-camping law,” Wheeler said, whether the Affordable
Housing Taskforce is finished with its shelter by next spring or not.
While the future of the hybrid shelter remains shrouded, the enforcement of the city's
unauthorized camping ordinance and its impact on unsheltered people is the only
certainty, Wilson fears.
Looking at a future where the Grants Pass decision is the law of the land, Wilson calls
on the past to tell her that enforcement will only push people further from resources
they need to survive. She recalled the homeless people she was working with on MLK
Jr. Way that fled “deep out in the woods” when the encampment was cleared in
November, or when a smaller encampment off Highway 303 by Brownsville Highway
NE was cleared on June 17 and she helped campers relocate to Matlock in Mason
County. Many campers living at the Hospital Hill encampment near St. Michael
Medical Center also relocated to other campsites in Silverdale after the area
was cleared in March.
Some of the unsheltered homeless people Wilson works with are talking about
relocating to remote Department of Natural Resources (DNR) land where camping is
permitted, she said, but “the problem that we have is not all of our people are
survivalists. They're not meant to be camping in the middle of the woods away from
resources like that. They don't know how to fend for themselves. Some of them are
severely mentally ill, and the jail won't take them.”
There are no homeless encampments on public county land at present, though there
are a few small encampments on private properties and about 15 to 20 throughout
Silverdale who are moving from spot to spot every night or couch surfing, said Kitsap
County Sheriff’s Office deputy David Wolner, who has been partnering with the
HEART team to resolve encampments. He will continue to follow HEART policy to
resolve encampments and doesn’t expect the Grants pass decision will change their
enforcement right away.
“It's a passionate policy,” Wolner said. “It's been effective so far, and until we hear
something different from either our command or from the prosecutors, we don't have
any plans to” change it.
Wheeler also assured that Commonstreet Consulting, a Seattle-based firm,
is providing connections to homeless and housing resources while also enforcing the
city’s camping ban without a badge or a gun. “We must have accountability, but also
at the same time, Commonstreet allows us to have compassion,” he said.
Commonstreet could not be reached for comment on its current enforcement of the
anti-camping law or future enforcement respective to the Grants Pass decision.
The Bremerton Police Department has made a number of arrests for unauthorized
camping in the city in the last few months, though it had not made any for at least
over six months since the anti-camping ban was passed, Captain Aaron Elton told the
Kitsap Sun in an email, though he did not specify the number of arrests.
“The constant outreach and warnings continue, but some people are not taking the
outreach efforts that are being made frequently, and they are not using the shelter we
have,” Elton said of the arrests. “Some of those people habitually violate the
camping/storage ordinance, obstruct the sidewalks, and violate other laws (such as
trespassing).”
In the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision, Wolner also looked toward the homeless
population who have consistently rejected shelter provisions. Speaking personally, he
said “it's getting to the point with the people who don't want services that the
advantage of the Grants Pass decision might be that, for the ones that don't want
shelters don't want what we have to offer, there's less of an ability for them to abuse
the system just because they want to stay outside and be comfortable.”
Wheeler will bring his proposed anti-camping ordinance before the City Council on
July 24 to be heard in a study session. There will be no opportunity for public
comment on July 24, but the Council is set to vote on the proposal August 7 during a
regular council meeting where members of the community will be able to comment.
Camping Revisited: U.S. Supreme Court
Changes the Landscape of Penalizing
Public Sleeping
July 15, 2024 by Harry Boesche
MRSC - Camping Revisited: U.S. Supreme Court Changes the Landscape of Penalizing Public Sleeping
The U.S. Supreme Court (Supreme Court) issued its opinion in City of Grants Pass v. Johnson (Grants
Pass) on June 28, 2024. The case addresses the following legal question related to a local government’s
homelessness response: Do local ordinances imposing criminal penalties on acts like public sleeping or
camping violate the Eighth Amendment’s cruel and unusual punishment prohibition if they apply to
unhoused persons who lack shelter options?
The Grants Pass opinion answers “no,” reasoning that the Eighth Amendment doesn’t
determine whether localities can criminally penalize acts — it only regulates what penalties a locality can
impose for criminal acts. The Grants Pass decision gives local governments a greater ability to enact and
enforce criminal penalties for acts like public camping or sleeping — even in localities where limited
local shelter space contributes to these acts.
A summary of the opinion and what it means for Washington localities follows.
The Grants Pass Case
City of Grants Pass v. Johnson dealt with three Grants Pass, Oregon, ordinances related to sleeping and
camping on public property, and whether the ordinances violate the U.S. Constitution’s Eighth
Amendment prohibiting cruel and unusual punishment.
Grants Pass is a southwest Oregon city with a population of 38,000 that includes an estimated 600
unhoused persons. The city’s homelessness response included enacting three ordinances prohibiting
“sleeping on public sidewalks, streets or alleys, camping on public property, and camping and overnight
parking in city parks.” The ordinances impose escalating penalties for violations that can eventually lead
to criminal trespass prosecution and jail time for repeat violations.
Two unhoused plaintiffs sued Grants Pass in the Oregon U.S. District Court (on behalf of a class of
unhoused persons in the city), arguing that the ordinances violate the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition on
cruel and unusual punishment. The plaintiffs relied primarily on two court cases to support their
arguments against the Grants Pass ordinances:
• Robinson v. California (Robinson): A 1962 Supreme Court decision ruling that a California
criminal law punishing persons for being addicted to narcotics violated the Eighth Amendment’s
ban on cruel and unusual punishment because it punished persons for their “status” as opposed to
their actions.
• Martin v. City of Boise (Martin): A 2019 Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals (Ninth Circuit) case that
struck down a Boise misdemeanor ordinance prohibiting camping on city streets, sidewalks, parks,
or public places as cruel and unusual punishment. Relying in part on Robinson, Martin ruled that
Boise’s ordinance impermissibly punished unhoused persons for acts they were forced to commit
because of insufficient available shelter space.
The plaintiffs argued that the Grants Pass ordinances violated Robinson and Martin because the city’s
lack of available shelter space rendered its unhoused population “involuntarily” homeless, essentially
forcing them to violate city ordinances since there were no available shelter options.
The Oregon U.S. District Court (District Court) agreed with the plaintiffs and ordered Grants Pass to stop
enforcing its ordinances. The Supreme Court agreed to hear the case after the Ninth Circuit affirmed the
District Court’s decision.
The Supreme Court’s Opinion
The Supreme Court’s opinion reverses the District Court’s decision and overturns Martin.
The opinion holds that localities do not violate the Eighth Amendment by enacting and enforcing
ordinances imposing commonly used criminal penalties (like fines and jail time) for public sleeping and
camping offenses. The opinion addresses both the legal and practical aspects of these local ordinances in
reaching its conclusion.
Legal considerations
On the legal side, the Supreme Court analyzed the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition on cruel and unusual
punishment and what it is intended to prohibit. The Supreme Court rejected the District Court’s Eighth
Amendment decisions, ruling:
• The Eighth Amendment’s prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment regulates only the type of
punishment a locality can impose for an offense — not whether the locality can or should punish
an offense to begin with.
• Grants Pass’s ordinances do not violate Robinson because they do not punish the “mere status” of
homelessness. Instead, they forbid only actions like public sleeping and camping, and they apply
regardless of “whether the charged defendant is homeless.” Robinson does not prohibit localities
from criminally penalizing acts that “society has an interest in preventing,” even if a person’s
status or circumstances contribute to the prohibited act “in some sense.”
• The jail time and fines imposed by the Grants Pass ordinances are not cruel or unusual punishment
methods. To the contrary, these forms of punishment are not designed to inflict “terror, pain or
disgrace,” and they remain commonly used across the country to address many criminal acts.
Practical considerations
On the practical side, the Supreme Court criticized the Martin ruling as an “experiment” that is essentially
unworkable in practice for many localities. For instance, the Supreme Court posed many questions in
assessing the practicalities of Martin’s ruling on localities seeking to regulate public sleeping or camping,
including this:
[H]ow are city officials and law enforcement officers to know what it means to be “involuntarily”
homeless, or whether any particular person meets that standard? … Is it enough that a homeless person
has turned down an offer of shelter? Or does it matter why [they turned it down]?
Notably, while homeless shelter space existed in cities involved in both the Martin and Grants Pass cases,
the lower courts in those cases still concluded that the space was “unavailable” to certain persons due to
religious or other conditions the shelter imposed. In response, the Supreme Court questioned which
shelter beds would count as available under such requirements, asking:
Is a bed "available" to a smoker if the shelter requires residents to abstain from nicotine … Is a bed
"available" to an atheist if the shelter includes "religious’" messaging?
Additionally, the Supreme Court focused on the requirement that a locality must provide adequate shelter,
asking, “How is a city to know whether the accommodations it provides [to unhoused persons] will prove
‘adequate’ in later litigation?”
And finally, the Supreme Court asked how far Martin’s prohibition against ordinances punishing public
camping offenses goes. Does it only forbid laws that punish the use of a blanket, or does it also prohibit
laws against other aspects of camping and sleeping outside, such as the use of tents or portable heaters, or
the acts of starting fires or public urination and defecation?
Given these and other practical questions that have left localities with few “entrenched answers,” the
Supreme Court concluded that federal courts “removed from the realities on the ground” have issued
Ninth Circuit decisions like Martin with uncertainties that have “plunged courts and cities across the
Ninth Circuit into waves of litigation.”
The Supreme Court concluded by reversing the District Court’s order stopping Grants Pass from
enforcing its public camping and sleeping ordinances and, in effect, abolishing Martin.
What the Grants Pass Decision Means for Localities
The Grants Pass decision means that localities may impose criminal penalties for acts like public
camping and public sleeping without violating the Eighth Amendment — even if they lack sufficient
available shelter space to accommodate their unhoused population.
Despite this clear Supreme Court ruling, local governments that are contemplating enacting and enforcing
public camping and sleeping-related ordinances should take the following into consideration.
Punish acts, not status
In upholding Grants Pass’s ordinances, the Supreme Court noted that the ordinances punished certain acts
regardless of the underlying circumstances, stating:
[U]nder the city’s laws, it makes no difference whether the charged defendant is homeless, a backpacker
on vacation passing through town, or a student who abandons his dorm room to camp out in protest on the
lawn of a municipal building.
Localities contemplating similar laws should ensure that they are written and enforced to punish acts
regardless of the charged defendant’s circumstances.
Consider types of punishment
The Grants Pass ordinances imposed progressive punishment, starting with fines and escalating to the
potential for 30 days in jail for repeat violations. The Grants Pass decision does not explicitly require a
progressive punishment scheme for public camping or sleeping offenses, but localities enacting these
ordinances may want to consider a similar penalty structure (since Grants Pass’s ordinances have survived
Supreme Court scrutiny).
Ensure shelter and wraparound services are provided
In reaching its decision, the Supreme Court noted that Grants Pass had a “multi-faceted” approach to
homelessness in its jurisdiction, which included outreach efforts and providing information about
assistance programs and other resources.
While not required by the Grants Pass decision, adopting such practices to complement potential criminal
enforcement will remain good local practices to demonstrate that other available measures are being used
to address homelessness, and that only the most willful violators are prosecuted.
Note impacts to law enforcement
Localities choosing to enforce criminal restrictions on public camping and sleeping should consider law
enforcement implications. For example, will the very act of camping in the presence of an officer be
sufficient for arrest without a warrant under RCW 10.31.100? Will certain circumstances justify citation
and release instead of jail booking, and if so, how will such policies be equitably applied? How will
criminal arrest and enforcement of these ordinances fit with policies regulating use of force?
Prepare for a shift in legal issues
The Grants Pass decision moves the homelessness regulation battle from a constitutional debate in city
hall over ordinance enactment to a courtroom dispute over the facts of individual criminal cases.
If localities enact and prosecute the local ordinances like those that Grants Pass permits, they may see
increases in claimed court defenses, such as necessity, diminished capacity, duress, or a violation of the
Washington State Constitution’s prohibition on cruel punishment (which the Washington Supreme Court
has ruled provides greater cruel punishment protection than the Eighth Amendment). Local law
enforcement and prosecutors should be prepared to evaluate whether and how such defenses may apply to
impact specific cases.
Conclusion
While debates over effective strategies to reduce homelessness will undoubtedly continue and unanswered
questions still remain, the Grants Pass decision brings clarity and offers flexibility in allowing localities
to consider criminal enforcement as a means to address certain behaviors on public property.
