SUMMARY: The Water Utility relies on its Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System
(SCADA) for continuous oversight and operation of drinking water supply, treatment, and distribution.
SCADA provides real-time remote monitoring of system processes and water quality – alerting
operators to out-of-spec conditions, automates communication among facilities, controls sensitive
instrumentation and equipment, records data and trends, and enables reporting for optimization and
regulatory compliance.
System components run on a backbone of computer networking and need continual updating as
technology advances, components become obsolete, new security threats arise, and industry
standards or requirements change. A master plan is the vehicle that provides the structure and
planning for system renewal and improvement, describes the policies and procedures that govern
system use, and establishes a process for system re-assessment and master plan updates.
This project will develop the Water Utility’s first formal SCADA master plan and includes a
cybersecurity assessment to inform the broader Water Utility 2025 Risk and Resilience Assessment
Update.

Basis for project: The Water Utility relies on its Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System
(SCADA) for continuous oversight and operation of drinking water supply, treatment, and distribution.
SCADA provides real-time remote monitoring of system processes and water quality – alerting operators
to out-of-spec conditions, automates communication among facilities, controls sensitive instrumentation
and equipment, records data and trends, and enables reporting for optimization and regulatory
compliance.
System components run on a backbone of computer networking (figure below) and need continual
updating as technology advances, components become obsolete, new security threats arise, and
industry standards or requirements change. A master plan is the vehicle that provides the structure and
planning for system renewal and improvement, describes the policies and procedures that govern
system use, and establishes a process for system re-assessment and master plan updates.
This project will develop the Water Utility’s first formal SCADA master plan and includes a cybersecurity
assessment to inform the broader Water Utility 2025 Risk and Resilience Assessment Update.
Basic SCADA System Layout
Project Description:
TASK 1. Define Current State
Define and evaluate the existing SCADA system to determine deficiencies or opportunities for
improvement. This includes a full audit and condition assessment of SCADA hardware and software,
communications pathways, cybersecurity measures, integration standards, and system scaling. This will
include a thorough cybersecurity risk assessment utilizing an industry standard method.
TASK 2. Define Desired State
Thoroughly review published standards, industry trends, and best practices; gather utility staff input; and
develop recommended upgrades/improvements to inform decision-making to define the desired state.
This will include a provisional SCADA staffing needs assessment based upon system size and
complexity.
TASK 3. Conduct Gap Analysis
Analyze the gap between the current state and the desired state. Identify what actions must be taken to
achieve the desired state.
TASK 4. Develop Prioritized Project List and Implementation Roadmap
Develop a comprehensive list of both internal (operations and maintenance) and external (capital)
projects. Work with utility staff to prioritize projects and develop an implementation roadmap with
emphasis on maximum reliability, security, cost effectiveness, and scalability.
TASK 5. Review and Recommend Policies and Procedures
Review existing SCADA utilization policies and procedures to identify necessary improvements.
Project location: 50+ Water Utility facilities monitored and controlled by SCADA
Bid Solicitation: A Request for Qualifications solicitation was offered to eight consultants carefully
selected from the Municipal Research Services Center consultant roster. IAW BMC 2.76.060, the City

SUMMARY:
The 2025 – 2030 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) includes programmed funding for Phase 2 of Safe
Routes to School (SRTS) improvements serving View Ridge Elementary. The project scope of work
consists of a continuation of non-motorized improvements along Almira Drive between Ivy Road and
Riddell Rd as a continuation of Phase 1 improvements. In early 2025, the City was notified by
WSDOT that the project was selected to receive $5.912 million in funding through the state’s 2024
Supplemental Transportation Budget under “Move Ahead Washington” (MAWA) which includes
appropriations from the Climate Commitment Act (CCA). The grant funding would be allocated to all
project phases including preliminary engineering, right of way, and construction. The original grant
request from the City included $600,000 in local matching funds, however, additional local revenues
will be required for non-eligible project costs and will be reflected in a mid-year budget adjustment.
The offered grant will be in WSDOT Standard Forms, with their standard terms and conditions.

RE: View Ridge SRTS
Move Ahead WA – Capital Projects
2024 Supplemental Transportation Budget
State Funding
Dear Mr. Knuckey:
WSDOT is pleased to advise you that the above-mentioned project was selected to receive
funding in the 2024 Supplemental Transportation Budget through the Move Ahead Washington
(MAWA) – Capital Projects, effective January 1, 2025. The state funding is limited as shown
below:
View Ridge SRTS $5,912,000
2023-25 Available Funding: $ 5,912,000 (Climate Commitment Act Funds)
Scope: To enhance and provide continuous sidewalk and bicycle facilities serving areas
immediately north of View Ridge Elementary School. Existing sidewalk routes near SR
303 are not continuous and curb ramps at intersections are not ADA-compliant. Many
View Ridge families work at the shipyard and Naval Base Kitsap.
In the event the 2023-25 funding is not all reimbursed, WSDOT will need to request the
remaining funding through the 2025-27 budget development. Therefore, it is critical that your
agency update the Local Project Report detailing the project’s delivery, so that the funding aligns
with the project schedule. As a reminder, the amount of MAWA funds available in the biennium
is contained within the enacting legislation.
In order to meet state requirements, the following are required:
Project expenditures incurred prior to execution of the Local Programs State Funding
Agreement and notification from Local Programs that the state funds are authorized
are not eligible for reimbursement.
Please refer to the Local Programs webpage for detailed authorization information,
including: (http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/localprograms/)

On January 16, 2024, Governor Inslee issued Directive 24-01 “Use of Climate
Commitment Act Branding in Agency Contracts.” The directive compels agencies like
WSDOT that administer Climate Commitment Act (CCA)-funded programs to require
subrecipients to implement consistent branding and funding acknowledgements.
Therefore, you are required to use the governor’s branding guidance for this CCA-
funded project. If CCA is a portion of your project’s overall funding, please also list
other funding sources as applicable on your communications including webpages. It is
important to note that there is no additional funding for this effort, so please do what is
feasible relative to your grant award. The Governor’s directive and related branding
requirements are attached to this letter.
Local Programs encourages all agencies to submit monthly progress billings to ensure timely
reimbursement of eligible expenditures.
For questions or assistance, please contact your Region Local Programs Engineer, John Ho at
564.669.1018 or John.Ho@wsdot.wa.gov.

DIRECTIVE OF THE GOVERNOR
24-01
Date: January 16, 2024
To: Executive and Small Cabinet Agencies
From: Governor Jay Inslee
Subject: Use of Climate Commitment Act Branding in Agency Contracts
As agencies begin deploying appropriations from the Climate Commitment Act (CCA), we
are creating tools to ensure transparency about how CCA funding is being put to work across
the state. One of the ways we can help people see CCA benefits in their own neighborhoods
and communities is through consistent branding and funding acknowledgements.
Effective today, January 16, 2024, agency contracts related to CCA-funded programs and
projects must include provisions consistent with the attached branding contract guidelines.
The CCA is supercharging state efforts to reduce pollution and keep our air clean. The
projects and programs supported by the CCA provide Washingtonians more options for
cleaner, healthier homes, schools, businesses and communities. Examples include keeping
kids safe from asthma by switching to electric school buses and improving air ventilation
systems in schools; helping thousands of families reduce utility bills by weatherizing their
homes and upgrading to energy-efficient heat pumps; and creating clean energy jobs in solar,
wind, clean hydrogen and other clean energy sectors.
The attached CCA branding contract guidelines are similar to the kinds of funding
requirements often seen in federally-funded programs or other infrastructure funding
programs.
For CCA-funded contracts that were executed prior to this effective date, agencies should
evaluate on a case-by-case basis if amendments to include any or all of these requirements are
feasible or justifiably infeasible.
I appreciate everyone’s dedication and progress toward a cleaner, healthier, safer Washington
for all.
STATE OF WASHINGTON
-OFFICE OF GOVERNOR JAY lNSLEE -
Climate Commitment Act funding
acknowledgments and branding:
Contract guidelines for agencies
Last updated: January 16, 2024
Issued by Office of the Governor Pursuant to Directive 24-01
The Climate Commitment Act (CCA) is the centerpiece of the state’s climate action efforts.
Revenue from the program will support thousands of projects, programs and jobs that reduce
pollution, and improve the health, safety, and resilience of neighborhoods and communities
across Washington state.
To strengthen public awareness of how CCA funding is used, the Office of the Governor is
directing state agencies that administer funding or manage a CCA-supported program to
include CCA funding acknowledgement and branding provisions in funding or contract
agreements.
The following guidance and sample contract language is intended to help agencies identify
when and how to include requirements for funding acknowledgments and branding. These flow-
down provisions apply to contractors, subcontractors, service providers and others doing
business with the agency to implement a program that is receiving CCA funding. Such
guidelines are similar to routine funding conditions from the federal government and will feel
familiar to many agencies, particularly those who do federally-funded public works projects.
This guidance is effective January 16, 2024. For CCA-funded contracts that were executed prior
to this effective date, agencies should evaluate on a case-by-case basis if amendments to
include any or all of these requirements are feasible or justifiably infeasible.
Appendix A provides the official brand guide for “Climate Commitment Act” logo usage, signage
guidelines, and access to high-resolution files. The brand guide is also available at
climate.wa.gov/brandtoolkit. Please feel free to refer grantees and contractors to that web
page.
Funding source acknowledgement
Administering agencies and all funding recipients, including sub-grantees and local agencies
that receive CCA funding to supplement existing programs, must include recognition of CCA
funding in alignment with this guidance.
STATE OF WASHINGTON
-OFFICE OF GOVERNOR JAY lNSLEE -

The funding source acknowledgment should be used in related publications, websites, signage,
invitations and other media-related and public-outreach products. This is the standard funding
language to be used on websites and included in announcements, press releases, and
publications:
“The [PROGRAM NAME / GRANT / ETC.] is supported with funding from Washington’s
Climate Commitment Act. The CCA supports Washington’s climate action efforts by
putting cap-and-invest dollars to work reducing climate pollution, creating jobs, and
improving public health. Information about the CCA is available at www.climate.wa.gov.”
Logo and signage, decals, stickers
In addition to including a funding acknowledgement on websites and media or outreach
materials, recipients must display the “Climate Commitment Act” logo if logos for other
partnering organizations are included.
Logos must be printed on publicly-visible equipment and signage, as applicable and to the
extent practical. If equipment and signage includes logos from other partners, it must also
include a “Climate Commitment Act” logo. Likely examples include EV charging station signs,
the side of an electric school bus, or the exterior surface of a heat pump.
Examples of applicable projects and programs
Large capital projects
Examples include but are not limited to large-scale or solar projects, shore power at ports, or
retrofits on public buildings.

Sample contract language
This sample contract language is a starting point. Please work with your contracts manager to
ensure contract language is appropriate for the specific circumstances of your project or
program. The intent and spirit of this contract language is to ensure the Climate Commitment
Act is consistently and properly recognized as a source of funding, particularly to emphasize the
benefit to the end user.
Section X.Y: Ensure coordinated Climate Commitment Act branding
[PROGRAM/PROJECT NAME] received funding from Washington’s Climate Commitment Act
(CCA). To strengthen public awareness of how CCA funding is used, the Office of the Governor
is directing state agencies that administer funding or manage a CCA-supported program to
ensure consistent branding and funding acknowledgments are used in all communications and
included in funding agreements and contracts. The “Climate Commitment Act” logo and funding
acknowledgment make it easy for consumers and the public to see how the state is using CCA
funds to reduce climate pollution, create jobs, and improve public health and the environment,
particularly for low-income and overburdened populations.
The following provisions apply to all contractors, subcontractors, service providers and others
who assist CONTRACTOR in implementing [PROGRAM/PROJECT NAME].
Logo requirements. The CCA logo must be used in the following circumstances, consistent with
the branding guidelines posted at climate.wa.gov/brandtoolkit.
o Any PROGRAM/PROJECT website or webpage that includes logos from other
funding partners.
o Any PROGRAM/PROJECT media or public information materials that include logos
from other funding partners.
o On-site signage [for consumer-related projects or programs this could instead say
something like: Decal placed on front of installed heat pump OR logo printed on
delivery tag]
Funding source acknowledgement. This standard funding language must be used on websites
and included in announcements, press releases and publications used for media-related
activities, publicity and public outreach.
“The [PROGRAM/PROJECT] is supported with funding from Washington’s Climate Commitment
Act. The CCA supports Washington’s climate action efforts by putting cap-and-invest dollars to
work reducing climate pollution, creating jobs, and improving public health. Information about
the CCA is available at www.climate.wa.gov.”

Appendix A: Official brand guide and toolkit
This brand guide and logo and font files are available online at climate.wa.gov/brandtoolkit.
To strengthen public awareness of how Climate Commitment Act (CCA) funding is put to work,
state agencies and recipients of programs or projects funded by the CCA are directed to use a
funding acknowledgement and/or logo.
The Climate Commitment Act logo is a symbol of the state's commitment to fighting climate
change and pollution. The simple but powerful design conveys our progress towards a cleaner,
zero emission future. The primary color palette is the three shades of green representing the
Evergreen State's natural beauty and its commitment to environmental protection.
The funding acknowledgement provides standard language for websites, press releases, public
outreach materials and other related promotional products.
The guidance below provides general information about funding acknowledgement language and
logo usage. Funding recipients should refer to their contracts for information about if and when
these requirements apply.
Funding acknowledgement
Administering agencies and all funding recipients, including sub-grantees and local agencies that
receive CCA funding to supplement existing programs, must include recognition of CCA funding
in alignment with this guidance.
The funding source acknowledgment should be used in project- or program-related publications,
websites, signage, invitations, and other media-related and public-outreach products. The
standard funding language to be used is:
“The [PROGRAM NAME / GRANT / ETC.] is supported with funding from Washington’s Climate
Commitment Act. The CCA supports Washington’s climate action efforts by putting cap-and-
invest dollars to work reducing climate pollution, creating jobs, and improving public health.
Information about the CCA is available at www.climate.wa.gov.”
Logo usage
The logo should always be used in its entirety, with the wordmark and symbols together. The logo
should not be altered in any way, including changing the colors, proportions or fonts.
The logo should be displayed on a white background. If a white background isn’t possible, use
the primary logo with the border or one of the approved white logos. The primary color palette is
the shades of green, but it can also be used in black and white and/or gray scale as required.
The logo can be used in a variety of applications, including websites, social media, print materials,
and signage. When using the logo in digital applications or printing for signage, it is important to
use a high-resolution version of the logo file.

Primary logo
Primary with border & white background
Social media icon: For social media sites where a round icon is necessary or useful.
Grayscale logo: ONLY use the grayscale logo for black and white printing, limited color printing,
or low-resolution displays.
White logo
While the primary CCA logo is always preferred, circumstances may necessitate using an
alternative white logo. To ensure optimal visual impact, use only the listed logos with the black
background or one of the approved CCA green hues.

contemplated in this agreement. The City shall pay the Contractor ninety percent (90%) of the

A.No Performance Bond. Because this contract including applicable sales
tax is $150,000 or less, and pursuant to Chapter 39.08 RCW, the
Contractor, in lieu of providing the City a performance bond, has elected
to have the City retain the final ten percent (10%) of the Contract amount

percent (10%) of any and all payments made to contractor for a period
of thirty (30) days after the date of final acceptance, or until receipt of

State Department of Labor & Industries and until settlement of any liens
filed under Chapter 60.28 RCW, whichever is later.
C.Defective or Unauthorized Work. The City reserves its right to withhold
payment from Contractor for any defective or unauthorized work.
Defective or unauthorized work includes, without limitation: work and
materials that do not conform to the requirements of this agreement; and
Public Works Agreement (short form)
Rev. 04/2023
extra work and materials furnished without the City’s written approval. If
Contractor is unable, for any reason, to satisfactorily complete any portion
of the work, the City may complete the work by contract or otherwise, and
Contractor shall be liable to the City for any additional costs incurred by
the City. “Additional costs” shall mean all reasonable costs, including
legal costs and attorney fees, incurred by the City beyond the maximum
Contract price specified above. The City further reserves its right to
deduct the cost to complete the Contract work, including any Additional
Costs, from any and all amounts due or to become due the Contractor.
D. Final Payment: Waiver of Claims. THE MAKING OF FINAL
PAYMENT (EXCLUDING WITHHELD RETAINAGE) SHALL
PRECLUDE ALL CLAIMS, EXCEPT THOSE PREVIOUSLY AND
PROPERLY MADE AND IDENTIFIED BY CONTRACTOR AS
UNSETTLED AT THE TIME REQUEST FOR FINAL PAYMENT IS
MADE.
4. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. Contractor is and shall be at all times
acting as an independent contractor and not as an employee of the City. The Contractor shall
secure at its expense, and shall be responsible for all payments of income tax, social security,
state disability insurance compensation, unemployment compensation, and all other payroll
deductions for the Contractor, officer, agents, employees and sub-contractors. The Contractor
shall also secure all applicable business licenses, if required, in connection with the contract
services, including all required licenses for Contractor's officers, agents, employees and sub-
contractors.
5. TERMINATION. The City may terminate this agreement for good cause.
“Good cause” shall include, without limitation, any one or more of the following events:

properly skilled workers or proper materials for completion of the
Contract work.
B. The Contractor’s failure to complete the work within the time specified in
this agreement.

or regulations.

If the City terminates this agreement for good cause, the Contractor shall not receive any

Public Works Agreement (short form)
Rev. 04/2023
6. PREVAILING WAGES. Contractor shall file a “Statement of Intent to Pay
Prevailing Wages” with the State of Washington Department of Labor & Industries prior to
commencing the Contract work. Contractor shall pay prevailing wages and comply with Chapter
39.12 of the Revised Code of Washington, as well as any other applicable prevailing wage rate
provisions. Contractor will be required to pay Kitsap County Prevailing Wage Rates current on
the bid opening date. The Kitsap County rates are available at the Department of Labor and
Industries website.
7. CHANGES. The City may issue a written work change directive for any change
in the Contract work during the performance of this agreement. If the Contractor determines, for
any reason, that a change order is necessary, Contractor must submit a written change order
request to the City’s project manager within two (2) business days of the date the Contractor
knew or should have known of the facts and events giving rise to the requested change. If the
City determines that the change increases or decreases the Contractor’s costs or time for
performance, the City will make an equitable adjustment. The City will attempt, in good faith, to
reach agreement with the Contractor on all equitable adjustments. However, if the parties are
unable to agree, the City will determine the equitable adjustment as it deems appropriate. The
Contractor shall proceed with the change order work upon receiving a written work change
directive or change order from the City. If the Contractor fails to require a change order within
the time allowed, the Contractor waives its right to make any claim or submit subsequent change
order requests for that portion of the contract work. If the Contractor disagrees with the
equitable adjustment the Contractor must complete the change order work; however, the
Contractor may elect to protest the adjustment as provided below:
A. Procedure and Protest by the Contractor. If the Contractor disagrees with
anything required by a work change directive or change order, including
any direction, instruction, interpretation, or determination by the City, the
Contractor shall:
1. Immediately give a signed written notice of protest to the City;
2. Supplement the written protest within fourteen (14) calendar days
with a written statement that provides the following information:
a. The date of the Contract’s protest.
b. The nature and circumstances that caused the protest.
c. The provisions in this agreement that support the protest.
d. The estimated dollar cost, if any, of the protested work and
how that estimate was determined.
e. An analysis of the progress schedule showing the schedule
change or disruption if the Contractor is asserting a
schedule change or disruption.
The Contractor shall keep complete records of extra costs and time
incurred as a result of the protested work. The City shall have
Public Works Agreement (short form)
Rev. 04/2023
access to any of the Contractor’s records needed for evaluating the
protest.
3. The City will evaluate all protests, provided the procedures in this
section are followed. If the City determines that a protest is valid,
the City will adjust payment for work or time by an equitable
adjustment. No adjustment will be made for an invalid protest.
B. Contractor’s Duty to Complete Protested Work. In spite of any protest,
the Contractor shall proceed promptly with the work as the City has
ordered.
C. Contractor’s Acceptance of Changes. The Contractor accepts all
requirements of a change order by: (1) endorsing it, (2) writing a separate
acceptance, or (3) not protesting in the way this section provides. A
change order that is accepted by Contractor as provided in this section
shall constitute full payment and final settlement of all claims for contract
time and for direct, indirect and consequential costs, including costs of
delays related to any work, either covered or affected by the change.
D. Failure to Protest Constitutes Waiver. By not protesting as this section
provides, the Contractor also waives any additional entitlement and
accepts from the City any written order (including directions, instructions,
interpretations, and determination).
E. Failure to Follow Procedures Constitutes Waiver. By failing to follow the
procedures of this section, the Contractor completely waives any claims
for protested work and accepts form the City any written order (including
directions, instructions, interpretations, and determination).
F. Liens. In the event that there are any liens on file against the City of
Bremerton, the City of Bremerton shall be entitled to withhold final or
progress payments to the extent deemed necessary by the City of
Bremerton to properly protect the outstanding lien claimants until proper
releases have been filed with the City Clerk
8. CLAIMS. The Contractor shall give written notice to the City of all claims other
than change orders within fourteen (14) calendar days of the occurrence of the events giving rise
to the claims. Any claim for damages, additional payment for any reason, or extension of time,
whether under this agreement or otherwise, shall be conclusively deemed to have been waived
by the Contractor unless a timely written claim is made in strict accordance with the applicable
provisions of this agreement; or, if (and only if) no such provision is applicable, unless that claim
is set forth in detail in writing and received by the City within seven (7) calendar days from the
date Contractor knew, or should have known, of the facts giving rise to the claim. At a
minimum, a Contractor’s written claim must include the information set forth regarding protests
in Section 7.A.2.a.-e.
Public Works Agreement (short form)
Rev. 04/2023
FAILURE TO PROVIDE A COMPLETE, WRITTEN NOTIFICATION OF CLAIM
WITHIN THE TIME ALLOWED SHALL BE AN ABSOLUTE WAIVER OF ANY CLAIMS
ARISING IN ANY WAY FROM THE FACTS OR EVENTS SURROUNDING THAT CLAIM
OR CAUSED BY THAT DELAY.
Contractor must, in any event, file any claim or bring any suit arising from or connected
with this agreement within 120 calendar days from the date the contract work is complete.

materials within one year from the date of the City’s acceptance of the Contract work. When
defects are corrected, the warranty for that portion of the work shall extend for one year from the
date such correction is completed and accepted by the City. The Contractor shall begin to
correct any defects within seven (7) calendar days of its receipt of notice from the City of the
defect. If the Contractor does not accomplish the corrections within a reasonable time, the City
may complete the corrections and the Contractor shall pay all costs incurred by the City in order
to accomplish the correction.
10. INDEMNIFICATION. Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its
officer, officials, employees, agents and volunteers harmless from any and all claims, injuries,
damages, losses or suits including all legal costs and attorney fees, arising out of or in connection
with the performance of this agreement, except for injuries and damages caused by the City’s
sole negligence.
The City’s inspection or acceptance of any of Contractor’s work when completed shall
not be grounds to avoid any of these covenants of indemnification.
Should a court of competent jurisdiction determine that this agreement is subject to RCW
4.24.115, then, in the event of liability for damages arising out of bodily injury to persons or
damages to property caused by or resulting from the concurrent negligence of the Contractor and
the City, its officials, employees, agents and volunteers, the Contractor’s liability hereunder shall
be only to the extent of the Contractor’s negligence.
IT IS FURTHER SPECIFICALLY AND EXPRESSLY UNDERSTOOD THAT THIS
INDEMNIFICATION CONSTITUTES THE CONTRACTOR’S WAIVER OF IMMUNITY
UNDER INDUSTRIAL INSURANCE, TITLE 51 RCW, SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF
THIS INDEMNIFICATION. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE
MUTUALLY NEGOTIATED THIS WAIVER.
The provisions of this section shall survive the expiration or termination of this
agreement.

Dear Mr. Cap:
Thank you for your recent submission to the City’s project bid opening held on March 27th 2025. After
careful consideration, we regret to inform you that Liberty Asphalt Maintenance & Marking LLC’s
proposal has been rejected.
One of the key requirements of the solicitation was the provision of references for projects of similar size

Next Steps
2 6/20/2025
Highest Priority Project: Wright Creek Wetlands
3 6/20/2025
#1:
Moratorium on
permit activity
while studying
rezone.#2:
Apply to DNR
for Wildlife
Conservation
Area status.#3:
Adopt
Regulations
that align with
intent of the
Comp Plan.
#4:
Work with GPC
on grant to
purchase the
wetlands and
their buffers for
conservation.
Proposed Actions:
Proposed Action #1
Moratorium on Permit Activity
Moratorium on all permit activity in
Freeway Corridor Zone (FC).
During the six-month moratorium,
work with DCD to rezone with
emphasis on providing housing.
Interactive Zoning Map shows the
Freeway Corridor Zoning.
Rationale
Many acres of FC appear wrongly
zoned. They don’t fit the description
— visible from the highway.
FC zones permit pretty much any
activity, including adult
entertainment venues.
West of Union Ave, they’re next to
residential areas and parks.
We need housing, walkable areas,
and “third places”.
4 6/20/2025
Proposed Action #2
Seek Wildlife Conservation Status
Apply to the Department of Natural
Resources (DNR) to change status.
Rationale
Wildlife Conservation Areas have
higher protection.
These areas are cross-referenced in
state, regional, and local regulations
as deserving greater protection.
5 6/20/2025
Proposed Action #3
Adopt New Regulations
Adopt regulations that carry out the intent of the Comp Plan, per RCW 36.70A.060(3).
Address inconsistencies of BMC 20.14, specifically the provision that certified or uncertified wetland professionals delineate wetlands.
Wright Creek Wetlands, with a habitat score of 8, would double from 150-foot buffers to 300-foot buffers if used for commercial or industrial purposes.
Rationale
After adopting a comprehensive plan, cities must review their critical areas regulations to ensure consistency with the adopted plan and development regulations.
If not consistent, they must be updated to make them consistent. RCW 36.70A.060(3).”
Review of Poulsbo and Kitsap County regulations shown that both:
Offer better wetland protection and clearer guidance and call for Society of Wetland Scientists certification.
Consider type of use in relation to buffer width.
6 6/20/2025
Proposed Action #4
Preserve Wright Creek Wetlands
Work with Great Peninsula Conservancy
(GPC) to preserve Wright Creek
Wetlands in perpetuity.
Rationale
GPC preserves critical areas in our
region and recently acquired wetlands
upstream from Wright Creek Wetlands.
Waterman Mitigation is working to
restore the mouth of Wright Creek to
fish passage (cut-throat trout) which will
help create a wildlife corridor.
This restoration could provide a possible
“mitigation bank” against future critical
area impacts elsewhere in Bremerton..
7 6/20/2025
Other Priorities
Gas Station Moratorium
9 6/20/2025
City received a number of emails asking City Council not to allow
more gas stations in Bremerton.
There are no observable lines at existing gas stations, so no
demonstrable need.
Decommissioned gas stations linger vacant for decades.
Adjacent housing is required by law to receive a 400+ page
document detailing all the chemicals remaining at these stations.
Washington state is moving towards electrification, not more
fossil fuel.
The RCW that governs moratoria: https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=35A.63&full=true#35A.63.220
Solar Power
10 6/20/2025 Add a footer
Public Works got a $100K grant to study solar power at facilities.
Grant funding could be used to power motion-sensor lights for
the Wycoff Underpass Mural, which appears to have no lighting
because of difficulty connecting to city-owned electrical lines.
Parking lot solar canopies are used in several other cities to
collect power. The power can feed back into the grid, earning the
city energy dollars. The canopies will also protect the vehicles
beneath them from weather.
Legislative Opportunities – Identified in 2022
11 6/20/2025
Grants: Encourage DCD and Public Works to aggressively pursue
grant funding to prioritize walkers & wheelers (strollers,
wheelchairs, bikes), and other funds to subsidize solar panels
and other renewable energy sources (these are certainly fewer
now).
Incentives: Strong incentives for all-electric in new construction,
as well as incentives & requirements for renewable energy
sources in existing and rehab buildings.
Expand electric: Purchases electric, where feasible, in new
equipment & machinery, and phase in electric vehicles for city
fleet (this is in process). Increase car charging network (money
available from Biden infrastructure bill), which is being done very
slowly. Collaborate with PSE.
Legislative Opportunities – Identified in 2022 (cont.)
12 6/20/2025
Protect and foster green space: Focus on native plantings,
Heritage Tree program, and others. Follow the PROS Plan, and
create or borrow native plant species list from nearby
jurisdictions (e.g., KCD)
Reduce irrigation: Deploy strategy in parks and city-owned
spaces to use drought-tolerant species and soaker hoses. This is
a fiscally conservative option, as running & maintaining in-
ground irrigation system is pricey.
Bioengineering: Build systems that mimic natural, self-sustaining
ecosystems, like bioswales, stormwater parks (e.g., Silverdale &
Manchester). Construction and maintenance costs are lower,
they add amenities to city and increase property values nearby.
Wright Creek wetlands & its two associated City-owned stormwater
ponds are good candidates.
Facilitate and Educate
13 6/20/2025
Urban farms: Work with KCD on tours and workshops. Reduce emissions
with food grown locally.
Tools & materials for self-sufficiency (e.g., rain barrels, cisterns, compost
bins, sheet mulch, seed banks, etc.): Reduce water bills & herbicide use. City
had fair days for these in the past which were reportedly quite successful.
Rain gardens: We have an ILA with KCD who work with Public Works to
advise & install. Effective but needs more outreach and publicity.
Tool library, delivery runs, other low-rent distribution: Could be difficult to
facilitate.
Educational materials: Provide online and in lobby of Norm Dicks, libraries,
and other key locations. We could request that KCD expand their
distribution efforts.
Thank you!
