This is the third time the ordinance amending BMC Chapter 5.06 is presented at Study Session. We will present recent revisions to the proposed ordinance developed through a cooperative effort between the City Council, Department of Community Development, City Attorney’s Office and Kitsap Legal Aid Services. BMC 5.06, was adopted in 2013 and rental property registration has been required in Bremerton since that time. The primary purpose of the Rental Property Registration code is to ensure “…the maintenance of quality rental housing in the City…” BMC 5.06.010. Rather than the City conducting inspections or requiring landlords to provide third-party inspections, BMC 5.06 requires that landlords register with the City and certify their rental units comply with required health and safety standards. These standards protect tenants, the public, and the City’s first responders. The amendments proposed do not add any new requirements or fees to landlords. The substantive amendments to BMC Chapter 5.06 are as follows: 1) require rental property registration as a prerequisite for an eviction and 2) require relocation assistance for tenants who must vacate rental properties city officials deem immediately dangerous to life, limb, property or safety of the public or occupants of the property. There were no questions or comments from the public… 6:37 PM Motion was made by Chamberlin and seconded by Coughlin. Questions and comments were provided by Chamberlin, Coughlin, Frey, Rebelowski, Mockler, Younger, Chamberlin, Mockler, Younger, Mockler; with responses provided by Ms. Finnell and Ms. Spencer.

RECITALS A. The Tribe is a federally recognized Indian tribe, having governmental authority over all lands in its Indian Country, including without limitation all lands held in trust by the United States for the benefit of the Tribe and its citizens and their descendants; and B. The City is a municipal corporation of the State of Washington, chartered pursuant to Chapter 35.22 RCW; and C. The City is located within the Tribe’s ancestral homelands, where the Tribe’s citizens have lived since time immemorial, and the City acknowledges both the Tribe’s exclusive historical occupancy of these homelands and the Tribe’s particular interest and right to be consulted in matters of land use, development, public safety, and other matters affecting the Tribe’s interests in these homelands; and D. The Tribe and the City have long maintained a productive and mutually beneficial government-to-government relationship; and E. The United States holds several properties in trust for the benefit of the Tribe located within the exterior boundaries of the City, which properties are by operation of federal law subject to the Tribe’s governing authority; and F. The Interlocal Cooperation Act, Chapter 39.34 RCW, allows Washington public agencies such as the City to enter into cooperative agreements to provide services more efficiently via mutual aid, sales and use tax revenue sharing, and other methods; and G. The City provides fire, law enforcement, and emergency medical services to persons within the City boundaries and as required by mutual aid or other interlocal agreement(s); and H. The Tribe maintains a “Tax Sharing Compact” with the State of Washington concerning the collection and administration of certain Washington State Business & Occupation, Washington State Sales and Use, and Local Sales and Use taxes on transactions between non-Indians that occur in the Tribe’s Indian Country; and I. The Tribe and the City wish to work cooperatively to protect the health, safety, and welfare of all persons on the Tribe’s trust properties described herein by establishing terms and conditions under which the City will provide public safety services at these properties in exchange for reasonable compensation from the Tribe; INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE SUQUAMISH INDIAN TRIBE OF THE PORT MADISON RESERVATION AND THE CITY OF BREMERTON Page 2 of 9 AGREEMENT NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, which are incorporated herein by reference, and the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, the Tribe and the City agree as follows: 1 PURPOSE. The purpose of this Agreement is to provide for the joint and cooperative undertaking of the parties to extend certain public safety services to the Tribe, identify those persons responsible for administering these services, and define the responsibilities of the parties as contemplated in RCW 39.34.030. 2 ORGANIZATION. No separate legal or administrative entity is created by this Agreement, nor do the parties intend to create through this Agreement a separate legal or administrative entity subject to suit. 3 ADMINISTRATOR. The City’s Mayor or designee and the Tribe’s Tribal Council Chairman or designee will administer this Agreement for each party and will meet as needed for the purpose of reviewing and discussing the operations and performance of the services described herein. Neither party is intending to assume responsibility or liability for the actions, or failures to act, of the other party and/or their respective employees. 4 SCOPE OF SERVICES. The City will provide the services identified in Attachment A (“Scope of Services”), which is attached and incorporated in full by reference (the “Services”), to the Tribe at the properties identified in Attachment B (“Property” or “Properties”). In general, the City will provide law enforcement, fire, and emergency medical services to all persons on the Properties when dispatched by Kitsap 911, in the same manner as the City responds to other properties within its jurisdiction. The City will also conduct routine law enforcement patrols and respond to non-emergency calls for law enforcement services at the Properties in the same manner as the City conducts such routine patrols in and around, and responds to such non-emergency calls from, other properties within its jurisdiction. 5 CRIMINAL JURISDICTION AND LAW ENFORCEMENT COOPERATION. To ensure the appropriate exercise of criminal jurisdiction in the context of the Services provided under this Agreement and under federal law, the parties agree that they will carry out their obligations under this Agreement regarding law enforcement matters under the conditions enumerated in this Section. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indian” means an enrolled member of a federally recognized Indian tribe. a. For crimes involving Non-Indian suspects, the City will exercise criminal jurisdiction. Tribe may exercise criminal jurisdiction as available under federal law. b. For crimes involving Indian suspects, the Tribe and the City will exercise concurrent criminal jurisdiction. As a general matter the City’s police will not ask suspects about their race, ethnicity, nation of origin, or cultural group as part of their response to a criminal incident, but if a suspect self-identifies as Indian or if INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE SUQUAMISH INDIAN TRIBE OF THE PORT MADISON RESERVATION AND THE CITY OF BREMERTON Page 3 of 9 a third party identifies the suspect as Indian, then the parties will perform the following protocols: i. The City’s police will contact the Suquamish Tribal police department as soon as is practicable to determine how the Tribe’s police wish to proceed. This contact may occur after booking the suspect into jail, if the suspect does not self-identify or is not identified as Indian prior to booking. ii. If the Suquamish Tribal police department wants custody of an Indian suspect, they will send an officer to the suspect’s location to take custody. At the request of the Tribe’s police, the City’s police will detain the Indian suspect for a reasonable time prior to booking to enable the Tribe’s police to take custody. iii. If an Indian suspect is not booked, and a report is taken, the City’s police will forward the incident report to the Tribe’s police. iv. If the Tribe determines that a suspect is not Indian, the Tribe’s police will notify the City’s police, and as necessary, refuse custody or transfer custody of the suspect to the City as soon as is practicable. v. For violent crimes, the City’s police will notify the Tribe’s police as soon as is practicable, and the Tribe’s police will respond as promptly as practicable and will notify the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”) of the matter for further response and investigation if required by federal law. The City’s police will secure the scene at a minimum which includes preserving evidence, rendering medical aid, and attempting to identify suspects, witnesses, and victims. Local police will also coordinate with the Tribe’s police and with the FBI upon their arrival. vi. The Tribe’s and the City’s police chief(s) will establish additional agreed protocols as necessary to implement the requirements of this Section. vii. The Tribe will ensure that the Suquamish Police will respond directly to calls from the Property involving the Tribe’s citizens. c. Law enforcement officers acting pursuant to this Agreement will provide information concerning their investigation of any alleged criminal activity to the “primary agency,” and will otherwise cooperate with the investigative efforts of that primary agency. For the purposes of this Agreement, the primary agency for investigating the criminal activity of a non-Indian suspect is the City, and the primary agency for investigating the criminal activity of an Indian suspect is the Tribe. Until it is determined whether a suspect is Indian, the Tribe’s police and the City’s police will provide information and cooperate with the investigative efforts of the other agency. 6 COMPENSATION. a. Compensation for the Services provided is the actual cost of providing the Services, subject to the limit(s) identified in Attachment C (“Compensation”) which is attached and incorporated in full by reference. The parties may agree to the establishment of different methods for calculating the Compensation due for INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE SUQUAMISH INDIAN TRIBE OF THE PORT MADISON RESERVATION AND THE CITY OF BREMERTON Page 4 of 9 Services delivered at different Properties, depending upon the circumstances of each Property. The parties further agree that should the undeveloped properties identified in Attachment B (“The Properties”) be developed, the compensation structure currently negotiated within this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the “maximum compensation” cap referenced in Attachment C shall be renegotiated. b. The Tribe is a party to a Tax Sharing Compact (the “Compact”) with the State of Washington dated February 1, 2021. Under the terms of that Compact, the Properties are located within the Tribe’s “Compact Covered Area,” and therefore if a “Nonmember Business” conducts any “Qualified Transaction,” on a Suquamish Tribe Trust property within the City limits, the City will receive local sales and/or use tax(es) on that transaction. Once a Property governed by this Agreement generates such local sales and/or use tax(es) for the City, the Tribe’s obligation under this Agreement to pay compensation to the City for Services delivered to that Property will cease, and the Tribe will have no obligation to pay the City compensation for Services for as long as a Nonmember Business continues to operate on that Property. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent the Tribe pays the City compensation for Services under this Agreement that were rendered after a “Nonmember Business” conducted any “Qualified Transaction” on a Property, the City will reimburse the Tribe the full amount of compensation received by the City for such Services within thirty (30) days after the Tribe’s written request. The Tribe agrees that it shall notify the City when a “Nonmember Business” is operating and conducting any “Qualified Transaction” on a Suquamish Tribe Trust property within the City limits. 7 EFFECTIVE DATE/DURATION. This Agreement shall be effective from the date of the last Party’s signature below through December 31, 2036, and will automatically renew every ten years thereafter, unless terminated. In no event will the Agreement become effective unless and until it is approved and executed by the duly authorized representative of both parties. 8 FILING. Prior to its entry into force, this Agreement shall be filed with the Kitsap County Auditor's Office or, alternatively, listed by subject on the web site or other electronically retrievable public source in compliance with RCW 39.34.040. 9 TERMINATION. Either party may terminate this Agreement upon one hundred eighty (180) days’ prior written notice to the other. 10 INDEMNIFICATION a. To the extent of its comparative liability, each party agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other party, and the other party's elected and appointed officials, employees, agents, and volunteers from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, and expenses, including but not limited to court costs, reasonable attorneys fees, and alternative dispute resolution costs, for violation of any law applicable to a party, any personal injury, or any bodily injury, sickness, disease, INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE SUQUAMISH INDIAN TRIBE OF THE PORT MADISON RESERVATION AND THE CITY OF BREMERTON Page 5 of 9 or death, and for any damage to or destruction of any property (including the loss of uses therefrom) which were determined by an appropriate adjudicatory authority having jurisdiction to be caused by an act or omission, negligent or otherwise, of the party, or its elected and appointed officials, employees, agents, or volunteers. b. Participation in Defense, No Waiver. A party reserves the right, but shall have no obligation, to participate in the defense of any claim, damages, losses or expenses and such participation shall not constitute a waiver of the party's indemnity obligations under this Agreement. c. Survival of Indemnity Obligations. All indemnity obligations shall survive the completion, expiration or termination of this Agreement. d. Actions of Other Agencies. If the City maintains or enters into a mutual-aid or other agreement for the provision of any of the Services described in this Agreement at the Properties by a third-party agency, the City will, to the extent of such third-party agency’s comparative liability, indemnify the Tribe against claims arising from the acts or omissions of those agencies and their elected and appointed officials, employees, agents, and volunteers. 11 DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURES. In the event of a dispute between the Tribe and the City concerning the performance of their obligations under this Agreement they will, as a condition precedent to undertaking any other process or procedure, do the following: a. One or both of the parties will issue a written notice to the other party of the initiation of a dispute. The notice will include the other party’s description of the alleged breach of this Agreement and the facts and circumstances causing that breach. b. Within thirty (30) days of the other party’s receipt of that notice, that party will respond to the notice in writing. The Tribe’s Tribal Chairman, the City’s Mayor, or their respective designees, will then hold an in-person meeting to discuss the content of the notice and the written response, and attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith. c. Should the parties fail to achieve an acceptable resolution of the dispute within thirty (30) days after holding the in-person meeting, either party may make a demand in writing to hold a formal mediation of the dispute. The notifying party will also notify the American Arbitration Association of the demand for mediation, and the parties will conduct the mediation with a single mediator under the Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), with each party equally sharing the cost of the mediation. The parties will reasonably cooperate with one another in the selection of the mediator and the time and place of the mediation, but should they fail to reach agreement on any of these selections within thirty (30) days of the demand for mediation, they will direct the AAA to make the selections for them. The parties will mediate in good faith. INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE SUQUAMISH INDIAN TRIBE OF THE PORT MADISON RESERVATION AND THE CITY OF BREMERTON Page 6 of 9 d. Should the parties fail to achieve an acceptable resolution of the dispute within thirty (30) days after holding the formal mediation, then they may bring an action to enforce the terms of this Agreement in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. 12 LIMITED WAIVER OF SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY.

AGENDA BILL CITY OF BREMERTON CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: Study Session Date: April 9, 2025 Acceptance of the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee’s 2025 Revised Funding Recommendations COUNCIL MEETING Date: April 16, 2025 Department: City Council Presenter: Jennifer Chamberlin LTAC Chair Phone: (360) 473-5280 SUMMARY: The Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC) received 18 requests for funding totaling $1,077,865. Direction provided by City Council when considering these requests included support of long-time community events, kick-starting new events, tourism-based organizations and venues, and municipal projects. Also, criteria provided by the City Council when evaluating the requests included consideration of economic impact, events or activities that draw tourists from 50 miles or more away, events or activities that focused on Bremerton’s community, and requests that demonstrated collaboration with other community organizations. Following the application process, interviews with the applicants were held on December 12, 2024 and January 10, 2025, followed by deliberations on February 7. During the February 26 Study Session, LTAC presented their recommendations for Council’s consideration which included funding for all of the applicants. Council then proposed a change (Quincy Square) and remanded the recommendations to LTAC for consideration and response. On March 28, the LTAC held a meeting, which included discussion and an opportunity for public comment. The outcome was that a majority of the LTAC agreed with the proposed change since this would meet the intended use of lodging tax. The Revised Funding Recommendations include funding for all of the applicants with a total allocation of $433,500 (Exhibit A). And included in the City’s 2025 Budget are continued annual commitments to the Kitsap Conference Center for $250,000 and $150,000 for the Admiral Theatre, for a grand total of $833,500 for Fiscal Year 2025. The recommendations are now resubmitted for Council’s final approval. ATTACHMENTS: 1) Summary of Requests & Recommendations 2) Exhibit A – LTAC Funding Recommendations for 2025 FISCAL IMPACTS (Include Budgeted Amount): RCW 67.28 specifies that the LTAC’s recommendations may either be accepted or rejected. If any individual recommendation is rejected by City Council, then the proposed change must be submitted to the LTAC for review and comment, allowing for up to 45 days before final action on the funding is taken. Funding may only be allocated to the list of eligible applicants provided by the LTAC. A delay in funding could potentially impact event planning in progress by organizations.
