BTT meets monthly to build community and to discuss, create and provide innovative guidance to leadership on policies, processes or ways to boost employee engagement. This space has created psychological safety for staff encouraging open dialogues and idea sharing. • Local community partners are invited as guest speakers every other month to share information about their organization and ways City staff can continue to build and strengthen community and municipal relationships. • Recognized by peers as a go-to person for collaboration and problem-solving. Additionally, Jeneise assists departments with communication, messaging and community engagement. • Attends Directors meetings to give updates on diversity and community engagement efforts and provides guidance or feedback on specific meeting agenda items as requested. • Attends City council meetings and shares feedback with leadership regarding next steps based on insights gleaned from citizens’ recognition agenda item. Community Building Jeneise has demonstrated exceptional performance by creating an innovative community engagement webpage Diversity and Community Engagement Hub through collaboration with leadership and staff. This platform has revolutionized how our organization collects, shares and acts upon community input, creating unprecedented transparency and two-way dialogue. For example, requesting a meeting or event appearance is now easier and can be accessed by clicking this link: Form Center • Scheduling Request for Mayor. This platform has streamlined internal processes, improved accessibility for community engagement and increased office efficiency. Community Speaking Opportunities – To date, Jeneise has represented the City at eight community events as a panelist or speaker. Through these engagements, she has demonstrated a high level of professionalism and genuine commitment to serving all members of our community, further strengthening the City’s relationship and reputation.

Kitsap Legal Aid Services provides and facilitates support for Kitsap County low income individuals or marginalized communities through advocacy and free civil legal services. Community Feature – Kitsap Sun Featured Article – through the publishing of this article, the City has formed two key partnerships with organizations that reached out with interest to advance an inclusive Bremerton. 1. Evergreen Goodwill The ‘government day ‘pilot program between the City of Bremerton and Evergreen Goodwill aims to increase civic engagement and transparency by providing residents and students with direct access to local government operations and decision-making processes. Along the same vein, the program will serve as a community engagement and recruitment tool for City jobs and Board/Commission/Committee openings. 2. Kitsap Credit Union The City of Bremerton proposes a partnership with Kitsap Credit Union to launch a four- week Financial Wellness Pilot Program for City employees. This initiative directly supports the City's existing wellness mission by addressing a critical source of employee stress: personal finances. Alignment with BMC 2.50.032 (b)(2) Per BMC 2.50.032 (b)(2) employees who receive a rating that exceeds the rating "meets expectations" (or equivalent) may be eligible for an additional salary step advancement beyond the standard annual progression. Jeneise’s performance clearly meets and exceeds the criteria outlined in BMC 2.50.032 (b)(2) for advancement beyond the standard salary progression. Based on her demonstrated performance, initiative, and measurable contributions, I strongly recommend approval of an additional salary step advancement under BMC 2.50.032 (b)(2). Her work reflects a level of leadership and impact that warrants recognition beyond the standard progression.

EutroSorb-G reduces available phosphorus to reduce or eliminate blue-green algae blooms and restores water quality to an acceptable condition for use by human, animal, and fish.

AquaTechnex will treat the lake with EutroSorb-G in the spring and begin harvesting in summer, with a second partial EutroSorb-G treatment in late summer. ATTACHMENTS: 1) AquaTechnex LLC.

Reasoning (check all supporting options below and remove unnecessary items): ☒ Compatibility to existing City standard or to existing equipment, inventory, systems, data, programs or service. (Attach the business case for the standard and attach a copy of the standard if it is written). AquaTechnex LLC. was awarded the contract to treat Kitsap Lake and provide aquatic vegetation harvesting on May 20th, 2020 as the only responsive bidder. For the past three years they have provided excellent service at or under budget in support of the City’s goals to clean up the lake and control blue-green algae blooms during peak use periods. Lake Management is a specialized service with extremely limited in state vendors able to provide this service, thus it is beneficial for the City to retain AquaTechnex LLC. for the Kitsap Lake cleanup program. ☒ Project or research continuity: Product, systems, services or data must comply with an ongoing project, research, data, testing or analysis without a compromise in the integrity of the project. Also, this should be a situation that cannot be replicated by another company because there is a legal or physical obstruction to disclosing the project information to allow another company the opportunity to replicate. Examples include situations where a company has legal and/or proprietary rights to customization such as software code, or to data; or testing or data is collected through a unique measuring instrument that cannot be accurately duplicated and offered by another vendor. Cost/Quote support: Per quote dated 1/17/2026 at a total cost of:$596,912.20, our staff believes this is a fair and reasonable price. Therefore, it is my determination that it is in the City’s best interests to purchase the Kitsap Lake Algae Treatment, NPDES Permit Renewal, Aquatic Vegetation Harvesting, and water quality Public Works and Utilities Department 100 Oyster Bay Ave. N. • Bremerton, WA 98312 • (360) 473-5920 • FAX (360) 473-5360 Page 2 VENDOR NAME March 23, 2026 Rev. 09/2022 testing through direct negotiation, pursuant to BMC 2.76.090 and 2.76.010, and that sole source purchase of these goods and services is justified for this procurement.
