(b) The Government will not pay for space in excess of the amount of ABOA square footage stated in the lease. (c) If the amount of ABOA square footage delivered is less than the amount agreed to in the lease, the lease will be modified to reflect the amount of ABOA space delivered and the annual rental will be adjusted as follows: ABOA square feet not delivered multiplied by one plus the common area factor (CAF), multiplied by the rate per rentable square foot (RSF). That is: (d) Common Area Factor (CAF). The CAF is expressed as a percentage of the difference between the amount of rentable square feet (SF) and ABOA SF, divided by the ABOA SF. For example 11,500 RSF and 10,000 ABOA SF will have a CAF of 15% (11,500 RSF-10,000 ABOA SF)/10,000 ABOA SF. (e) Rentable Square Footage (RSF). The RSF is calculated using the following formula for each type of space (e.g., office, warehouse, etc.) included in the premises: ABOA SF of Space x (1 + CAF) = RSF. 7. GSAR 552.270-27 INTEGRATED AGREEMENT (SEP 2022) (DEVIATION) This lease, upon execution, contains the entire agreement of the parties and no prior written or oral agreement, express or implied, shall be admissible to contradict the provisions of the lease.

N4425526RP00036 12 of 29 (b) If any such change causes an increase or decrease in Lessor’s cost or time required for performance of its obligations under this lease, whether or not changed by the order, the Lessor shall be entitled to an amendment to the lease providing for one or more of the following: (1) An adjustment of the delivery date. (2) An equitable adjustment in the rental rate. (3) A lump sum equitable adjustment. or (4) An adjustment of the operating cost base, if applicable. (c) The Lessor must assert its right to an amendment under this clause within 30 days from the date of receipt of the change order and must submit a proposal for adjustment. Failure to agree to any adjustment shall be a dispute under the Disputes clause. However, the pendency of an adjustment or existence of a dispute shall not excuse the Lessor from proceeding with the change as directed. (d) Absent a written change order from the LCO, or from a Government official to whom the LCO has explicitly and in writing delegated the authority to direct changes, the Government is not liable to Lessor under this clause. 9.

N4425526RP00036 29 of 2929 of 29 Renewal of Lease Agreement with United States of America for Historic Building 50 1 1 Real Estate Transactions Recap •In 1986, the City of Bremerton agreed to lease a 6000 square foot building near the Ferry Terminal from the Navy. During this time, the Museum was referred to as the Bremerton Navy Memorial Museum as well as the Naval Museum of the Pacific. Volunteers staffed the Museum while the City paid the rent and utilities. •In 1998, the City decided it could no longer pay the Museum’s rent, which led the Museum’s non-profit foundation to take over the full operation of the Museum until 2002, when the City began the Construction of the Hampton Hotel and the Kitsap Conference and Convention center. •Negotiations between City officials, former museum foundation Board President Lyle Nelson, and U.S. Congressman Norm Dicks (WA-D) resulted in a decision to create a permanent home for the Museum in historic Building 50. •2004 the City and the Department of the Navy entered into several land transactions transferring land from the Department of the Navy to the City of Bremerton that resulted in the construction of the Harborside Fountain Park, the placement of the USS Parche Sail, the Bremerton Fountains, the Washington State Ferry Tunnel, and the new home and renovation of Historic Building 50 at 251 1st Street adjacent the Harborside Fountain Park. Land value alone is estimated to be more than $250K 2 The proposed 10-year lease renewal continues the relationship between the City of Bremerton and the Department of the Navy and honors the purchase and land sales that were completed in 2004-2006 under the standing legal authority of 10 USC 2661 called out in 2845 NDAA which allows for the good and mutual benefits of both the City of Bremerton and the Department of the Navy. 3 WELCOME TO THE PUGET SOUND NAVY MUSEUM The museum is located at end of Pacific Avenue, adjacent to the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard 1st Street gate, adjacent to the Washington State Ferry Terminal, and at the entrance to the City of Bremerton Harborside Fountain Park. It provides visitor’s a glimpse of the time-honored history and relationship between the City of Bremerton and the US Navy. The building is often used by Kitsap Conference Center attendees to service their outdoor events and by renters of the Harborside Fountain Park. One water and electric service provides for the Fountain Room rental space and the museum lease area. Financial and Operational Breakdown •The museum's operating expenses are funded directly by the U.S. Navy. According to a City of Bremerton Building 50 Review (2017 Audit), its total annual budget—including operations, labor, and employee benefits—is estimated to be approximately $500,000 per year. •Non-Profit Backing: The Puget Sound Navy Museum Foundation provides independent fundraising and financial support, injecting over $314,000 into museum exhibits, STEM programs, and facility improvements since 2018. •Real Estate Heritage: The museum resides in Building 50, a historic property originally constructed by the Navy in 1896 for a mere $7,900. While its modern real estate appraisal value is restricted it went under a $6 million renovation funded primarily by the Navy. The Navy has historically invested over $10 million in regional adaptive reuse and preservation projects to restore these late-19th-century shipyard structures. •Collection Wealth: The museum holds over 18,000 artifacts. Because these are priceless historical military assets managed by the Naval History and Heritage Command, they are never assigned a commercial market valuation.1 4 Navy Museum and Fountain Room 1 5 Naval Museum and City Operations 1 6 Of the 10 official U.S. Navy museums located around the country, there is only one other museum operating on City-owned property, the Hampton Roads Naval Museum in Norfolk, VA.The U.S. Navy does not pay for rent/utilities for this museum. Other Navy Museums are located on DoD owned property. As this museum is an official DoD/Navy Entity it is supported by annual congressional appropriations and administered by the U. S. Naval History and Heritage Command in Washington D.C. The operations of this building requires cooperation between the City of Bremerton and the DoD. The City supports the general maintenance of Building 50 including general HVAC, water and electrical service, building systems including exterior maintenance, and grounds maintenance. The average annual budget for operations and maintenance is $50,000. The cost for electricity is $14,000 annually and for water/sewer/storm $4,600 annually The Kitsap Conference Center Fountain Room which is attached to the Navy Museum and overlooks the Harborside Fountain Park annually brings in between $75k to $85k; The rentals of the Harborside Park available through the Parks department is small with only 1-2 rentals annually. The Puget Sound Naval Museum Foundation and the DoD manage and track the exhibits and volunteers, provides janitorial service and the maintenance of the climate control system and the mass communication system. Additionally, the Navy has reimbursed and paid for major repairs for a total of $556,761 in direct contributions since 2020 and made purchases, such as a carpet replacement, a new climate control system, and will be adding a new CCTV Camera system to assist with building security valued at $230,000. Thank you! 1 7 Navy Museum Lease Renewal Supplemental Information 7/20/2026 Chance Berthiaume US Navy Contribution: • Structural improvements, moving, and land gift prior to ownership transfer: >$6,000,000 paid mostly by the US Navy. • Annual federal distribution to City of Bremerton for Naval Museum improvements. City annual operation, • Expenses: o PW&U Facilities annual expenses: $30-$40K o Columbia Hospitality annual Fountain Room Promotion fee: $12K (per 2017 audit) o Water/sewer/storm Utilities: $4,598 (2025) o PSE: $19,410 (2026) o Total expense: $76,010 • Revenue o Fountain Room rentals and other rental fees: $70K - $90K Net cost to the City: Range of zero cost to $5K annual average on direct cost. Building maintenance and additional improvements, funded by the US Navy, far outweigh the profit/loss of owning this site as shown on page 2. Information provided by Danelle Eaton, Director of Puget Sound Navy Museum Daily Operations: Puget Sound Naval Museum Foundation, a 501c (3) non-profit organization: • PSNM/F staff hours, supplies/materials/equipment purchases, and transportation grants provided $24,280.03 in value to the following elementary schools with Bremerton addresses: Armin Jahr, Crownhill, Kitsap Lake, Naval Ave, View Ridge, West Hills, Barker Creek, Brownsville, Cottonwood, Esquire Hills, Green Mountain, Hawk @ Jackson Park, Pine Crest, and Woodlands.

I do not include projects that are museum-specific such as the humidity control system, but do include projects such as the CCTV system, Mass Communications/PA system, carpet upgrades, janitorial services, etc. as those directly benefit the facility and are not things we would take with us if we ever moved the museum. I also included the funding the PSNM Foundation has provided in support of Fountain Room reservations. As you will see from the chart below, I have been able to track funding for 18 years and NHHC/PSNMF allocates an average $61.5K in support of facility, grounds, and rentals each year. *janitorial services paid for by PSNM address the cleaning/stocking of common areas and first floor bathrooms utilized by KCC during and after Museum hours Naval History & Heritage Command/PSNM Foundation Support of Building 50 Facilities and Grounds NHHC/PSNMF Support 2008 - 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 YTD Building 50 Safety/Security $146,169.78 $186,000.00 $201,085.24 Facility Upgrades $20,000.00 $5,700.00 Facility Maintenance $19,667.00 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 $18,000.00 $3,100.00 Janitorial Services $279,311.28 $29,300.00 $31,700.00 $33,500.00 $37,300.00 $42,800.00 Parche Plaza $12,185.00 $350.00 $3,000.00 Fountain Room Reservations $18,602.00 $2,488.00 $3,732.00 $3,732.00 $4,976.00 $2,490.00 Total $495,935.06 $32,788.00 $222,782.00 $58,232.00 $51,076.00 $246,375.24 Published for August 5 Council Meeting Item 5 Mayor’s Report Mayor’s Report –August 5, 2026MAYOR’S REPORT August 5, 2026 Weaving Notes photo credit: Michael Stutz Weaving Notes Nominated for CODAaward The CODAawards jury selected Weaving Notes in their Top 100 best design + art projects of the year!

Published for August 5 Council Meeting Item 7 Community Comment From:Zach Martin To:City Council Cc:Katherine Woods; Greg Wheeler Subject:For Public Comment - Aug 5 - Council Meeting - BMC 9.32 - July 17 Incident Date:Friday, July 17, 2026 7:52:56 AM CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Council Members and Mayor Wheeler: BMC 9.32 criminalizes me for status, not conduct, because I am banned from shelter and the city provides no 24/7 alternative. Fact pattern: On July 17, 2026 at 2:00am I was at Rota Vista Park on Warren Ave, Bremerton. I am 35 years old and banned from both city-funded shelters — Kitsap Rescue Mission and Salvation Army. I called 911 for help because I had no legal place to exist. I was refused transport and referred to 211, which was closed. Bremerton Police Department lobby was closed. Coffee Oasis excludes me due to age. I had no lawful alternative but to remain in public. Under BMC 9.32 and Grants Pass v. Johnson, I can be cited for “camping” despite having no legal place to go. This violates the 8th Amendment prohibition on punishing status under Robinson v. California, as applied when shelter is unavailable due to ban, capacity, age restriction, or hours of operation. Requests: 1. Place on next Public Safety Committee agenda: Amendment to BMC 9.32.010 adding: “It is an affirmative defense to prosecution under this section that, at the time of the offense, no shelter was available to the person due to ban, lack of capacity, age restriction, or hours of operation.” 2. Public records request under RCW 42.56: Number of BMC 9.32 citations issued since June 28, 2024 to persons who were banned from shelter or when shelters were closed/full/age- restricted. 3. Condition BMC 9.32 enforcement on the opening of a 24/7 adult warming center, as current options exclude persons 25+. I am submitting this testimony to Kitsap Legal Services for potential litigation under 42 U.S.C. §1983 and to Kitsap Sun. Respectfully, Zach M.

Meanwhile the low-income and homeless – often displaced by the city’s developer-led hyper- gentrification regime has been crushed by disregard of their human rights, and subjected to overt persecution.

Currently being used in city government’s campaign of disinformation and incitement against the Bremerton Housing Authority’s shelter project to be located on its property at the 1231 Sheridan site, the mayor, the city council, and DCD’s planners have seized upon the talking point that the location of the project is wrong and unauthorized, and even consists of “spot zoning.” This is astounding cynicism and sophistry intended to protect city government’s fixers for “Sound West Group.” FoSC will be approaching three years of condemning Sound West Group / Wesley Larson’s DCD-rigged shoreline Evergreen Pointe project – a key feature of which is the illegal ‘piecemealing” / “spot zoning” special treatment he received. Larson’s $5 7 million dollar shoreline project is a product of Andrea Spencer’s “Interrupted Buffer ” / “Map E” artifice – a rigging of not only that project but of the 2019-2021 SMP periodic review process, which now bleeds over into the currently proposed 2026 SMP - which itself is a product of city government’s flouting (and concealment) of violations of the Growth Managment Act’s requirement that the Shoreline Management Act mandates such as (but not limited to) RCW 90.58.020 and RCW 90.58.320 be fully addressed via RCW 36.70A.480 and RCW 36.70A.020(15). As defined by DCD planner Garrett Jackson presentations to the public “Interrupted Buffers” promise over 30 ad hoc spot zoned / piecemealed shoreline parcels through an artifice directly contravening RCW 90.58.020, among other SMA prohibitions.. After FoSC exposed this about-to-be-permitted rig, things changed. It has been “under review” for two and a half years - apparently so that GMA comp planning could side-step RCW 36.70A.480 to not admit DCD’s illegal piecemealing . This piecemealing results in increased realty / investment value to Wesley Larson and his cronies. Recently, FoSC noticed the falsified “Findings” which omitted and hid our participation and comments in the 2026 SMP process, which we have pointed out to Ecology and the State Auditor. 6-2-26 FoSC - Our Comments Should Not Be Excluded From The Record Of Bremerton's 2026 SMP Proposal https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_mKxmfIcP4cAnMtK-Z8ryk3CEukoTzlR/view 5-29-26 FoSC Comment re 2026 SMP Proposal (96pages) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1x6AHGb4YZ4dYVGg8x_Xv6d1xo0pMtyAa/view Our government officials, backed up by disgraceful city attorneys, have not cited one law or precedent to support the misrepresentation of law occurring as to the BHA shelter / transitional housing project. There is not only nothing wrong with the project’s location, that location is explicitly authorized by superior state law which FoSC has cited even while we were gagged during the so-called “pause:” This gagging for our public forum criticisms was triggered by Sound West Group and joined in for over half a hear by city government, based on lies, smears, and misrepresentations to and and misleading of the public about First Amendment law, the omission of WA’s constitution, and the Open Public Meetings Act. This was very clearly a delay tactic and a cover-up serving both the SWG and a complicit city government under color of law – a violation of 18 USC, Section 242. Section 242 mandates: 'Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, ... shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; ...” The . . holds this position as to Section 242:𝐔 𝐒 𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 "Section 242 of Title 18 makes it a crime for a person acting under color of any law to willfully deprive a person of a right or privilege protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States. For the purpose of Section 242, acts under "color of law" include acts not only done by federal, state, or local officials within their lawful authority, but also acts done beyond the bounds of that official's lawful authority, if the acts are done while the official is purporting to or pretending to act in the performance of his/her official duties. Persons acting under color of law within the meaning of this statute include police officers, prisons guards and other law enforcement officials, as well as judges, care providers in public health facilities, and others who are acting as public officials. It is not necessary that the crime be motivated by animus toward the race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national origin of the victim. …” See https://www.justice.gov/crt/deprivation-rights-under-color-law Multiple state and federal laws are implicated, including criminal and civil redress for the deprivation of our rights including under Section 1983 Civil Rights action, and under the federal Fair Housing Act, for that reason FoSC has reached out to Washington’s State Auditor and the Department of Justice. The BHA shelter project has been and is being sabotaged by an effective cartel and/or anti- competitive corrupting oligopoly with “Sound West Group” at its core. Council member Denise Frey, planning commissioner Jack Paauw, and “Sound West Group” Wesley Larson are not only colluding and skewing the public process to benefit their private interests, but they have done so for so long during the “Bremerton2044” comp planning, and the current Shoreline Master Program planning, each process has been invalidated. See Buell v. Bremerton, Smith v. Skagit. In recent emails obtained by Public Records Act requests, it is clear the reach and grip of Sound West Group is extended and tightened by by council member Denise Frey, and this has resulted in a180 turn from supporting the BHA hybrid shelter – much needed for our homeless brothers and sisters – to outright sabotage of this urgently needed project, and this sabotage has depended on outright falsehood, disinformation, to skew public discussion and mislead the public. These emails can be read here: Cultivation, Collusion & Sabotage (Harrison Heights) https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1gF7T60Y2-6OxK3987w8CUr1FlXJoAv6I Denise Frey’s amnesia is particularly telling as to the malice involved in the disinformation campaign. See “1-17-24 Denise Frey Vouches For BHA Hybrid Shelter Project & For Her Own Dist. 2 As Its Location” https://youtu.be/dnJ8GPUuw7E The Sound West Groupie Denise Frey, in particular, has shown an unhinged vehemence against the location of the project which is completely at odds with her previously vouching for its location in District 2 – her district. Yet, this is Denise Frey's first vote for BHA hybrid shelter project, in which she not only enthusiastically gives it her vote, she vouches for it being located in her own District 2 and vouches for the idea of its providing a full continuum of care. "I'm a real fan of true community collaboration. Uh, and I can spot it when it's not there. Uh, and I was told over and over again that it was there, but I just wasn't feeling it. And then I started hearing from our community partners. Uh, it's hard to come away from that, you know. Um, uh, and just this afternoon, I saw another example. There's definitely some cognitive dissonance going on here. Uh because to me it's really clear we did give direction. I do want to honor what what council member uh uh Goodnow said last week. Every so often I listen to Michael uh and and he said, you know, they did everything that we asked them to do. And I have to recognize that that we started with, you know, looking at public property that could be used and analyzing all that and getting recommendations. And so this evolved from that. Um, uh, public works department and staff, I think, did a phenomenal job. Katie, you rock. I've always said you rock, but you put together a proposal for the mayor that really tried to include everything that and I think it was a deep dive, you know, for staff. This isn't their wheelhouse. Um, I don't know whether community development was in charge and on at the t I'm sure they were at the table. Uh, I personally probably would have put housing in charge of this project, but um I'm I'm worried. I don't I don't go along with C because I quite frankly don't have the trust uh in the relationship uh between the administration and uh or I should say between the mayor uh and our community partners, and I'd like to see that improve. Um, but in its absence, this is our job. And, uh, I'm going to stand with the community partners every time. Uh, they are the experts. We don't need to go to a consultant that is selling sprung shelters for a living to be told how to house our homeless population. Um, the Swing Set Mall happens to be in my district. Uh, and I'm going to switch gears cuz I am really excited about this and I want to put a smile back on my face. When I stand there in that parking lot at Swing Set Mall and I see a building that could be used as a hybrid congregate, family space possibly, young adult space possibly. You know. It already has a playhouse in the inside. Uh you know with I mean I could go on and on and sometime I probably will. But you stand there in the parking lot and you look next door at Mills Crossing, and I can imagine someone living in our shelter, and looking over there at Mills Crossing and saying 'that's where I'm gonig to live some day.' And that's hope. That's hope. And then I just - I told uh Jill Stanton earlier today that 'hey maybe BHA could look at that other development that's being built right adjacent to the property and that could be f first time homeownership for some of these folks that are going through the continuum.' It truly is and could be a full continuum of care right on the same site. It gives me goose bumps. I am for Plan B, always have been for Plan B. I don't see any reason to go with the Plan C because Plan A certainly hasn't worked. So that's it for me." The entire hearing is here: "1-17-24 Homeless Shelter Options: Mayor's v. BHA Coalition's - BHA Option Won Council Vote (6 – 1)" https://youtu.be/s2DDQJTTsYA As well as on the official BKAT webpage. It appears that Wesley Larson’s “Sound West Group” oligopoly includes the exploitation of non-profits to make a profit, and/or to present the surface image of beneficence. The dominance and influence of this private developer makes such exploitation self-dealing behavior. See IRS https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-tege/eotopicq85.pdf. It also results in corrupting and smothering anti-competitive conduct from this murky combine which has skewed and broken law and ethics, and which maintains a local regime of aporophobic marginalization and disenfranchisement. During Andrea Spencer's May 20, 2026 presentation to city council to obtain its permission for the submission of a Harrison Heights Opportunity Zone 2.0 application to Washington’s Dept. of Commerce, she and Denise Frey voice their support in favor of the Trump tax shelter incentive for developers looking to "develop" the same area they want to bar the BHA shelter from. The public protested this @ 39:00; @ 40:48; @ 42:44; @ 44:15; @ 2:13:06; @ 2:15:00 > And yet none of us knew Wesley Larson, his investors, and his “capital influencers” were lined up May 20, 2026 city council meeting: https://bremerton.vod.castus.tv/vod/?video=793876e9- aa63-4ef2-bd87-5828ff6584f7 This is an intentional skewing of public discussion and debate, and a prohibited misleading of the public pursuant to RCW 42.20.040. During the hearing, I protested that as long as the Genovese v. Larson Opportunity Fraud Litigation was not publicly investigated and ramifications disclosed, there was no reason for a round two Opportunity Zone. See "FoSC Condemns 2d Round Of Opp. Zone When Sound West Group Fraud Suit Swept Under Rug By City " https://youtu.be/ETHFGMswpyg5-20-26 In this hearing, Denise Frey admitted she personally invests in "development" ("I don't know if I'll see a return") but she never let on that her beloved Wesley Larson was already set up to reap the benefits of the OZ 2.0 application, and this was through her directed efforts, and that of other government officials. See 5-20-26 "Denise Frey Touts Harrison Hts OZ 2.0, Pretending She Hasn't Collaborated With Sound West Grp There" https://youtu.be/4N-ymFlFgVk City government coddling of or merger with self-appointed supra-government private interests who care most for their own profit and investments is legally and morally repugnant. A major premise of American law and FoSC’s public comment criticism of this council is that: “Government is instituted for the common good … and not for profit, honor, or private interest of any one man, family, or class of men.” – John Adams This premise is not radical or arcane. Public officials cannot be sycophants or give special treatment to their favorites. An Atlantic article a century and a half old - "Log-Rolling at Washington ," The Atlantic, September 1869 Issue - tells us what is going on in Bremerton: "... lobbying is as ancient as governing. It is also as legitimate and necessary, since the governing power is in need of the special knowledge which it is the proper office of a lobby to supply. It is only when the governing power is weak or corrupt or too transient, that there is danger of the lobby laying aside its modest office of supplying information, and assuming the mastery. As weak kings are governed by favorites and mistresses, so ill-constituted parliaments are governed by lobbies. … ... There are people whose self-love is such that they can associate happily only with their worshipers, having always to be on their good behavior with equals, which is irksome. …" While city government shirks and covers-up its betrayal of the public trust, and failure to uphold the fundamental duty to protect the common good, we are inundated with commercial propaganda about Wesley Larson to grease the wheels of a monomaniacal gentrification regime benefiting the “Sound West Group” oligopoly: “… after living and working in New York City for eight years, Larson decided to come back home and establish a very successful development firm he named Sound West Group. The company has developed projects all over the Northwest and has won many awards for its projects, but the priority has always been downtown Bremerton. … Wes Larson is many things — a developer, an attorney, a former securities broker-dealer, a musician and a committed member of the YMCA. But most of all, he is an agent of change. He is a leader in the Kitsap community and especially a leader in his hometown, where he continues to invest his money …” - “Wes Larson,” by Carey Bozeman, West Sound 8-28-25. Larson is CEO of a conglomerate of over 100 Washington entities. See https://ccfs.sos.wa.gov/#/ Bozeman is only part of the pervasive dumbed-down gentrification worship.

Sound West Group https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoKzRxqFn88lGzYLWE7NTA-MaOwx3TOTw The public forum criticism from FoSC and allies in the homeless community resulted in the retaliatory obstructive half year “pause” gagging of this community, and re-shuffling and honing of the internal SWG-dominated power dynamics in Bremerton’s government. Denise Frey, VP of council – and agent for SWG - has acted out that SWG’s power is expressed in a corrosive deceit and skewing of public debate - the result of a wealthy private interest running government officials to maintain its dominance. Jane Rebelowski, president of council, angered over our refusal to soft sell city government’s corruption privately admitted to me SWG’s dominant power. Rebelowski admitted city council had to tippy-toe around Sound West Group on the matter of the urgently needed Bremerton Housing Authority’s hybrid shelter project or else SWG would “quash” it. See all Rebelowski texts here . This July 2025 admission from inside city council by Rebelowski of the heavy hand of Sound West Group in matters of public policy and allocation of municipal resources is damning. With council’s institutional lack of character, it had no ability to withstand pressure from Sound West Group’s imperious and false smearing letter of 9-9-25 . Representative of the mercantile takeover of a mendacious city government, signatories Wesley Larson, Steve Sego, and Jack Paauw demanded we be made “respectful” and cowed by “security escorts.” Our obsequious and complicit municipal “public servants” at Norm Dicks have obeyed and are continuing to obey arbitrary and capricious profiteers who are incapable of seeing humanity and civic and moral values – except for perhaps Commissioner Browning, who needs to step forward in courage to show it can be done in the face of arrogant wealth hoarders who invoke the needy to enrich themselves. The Multi-Millionaires’ Club - “4 th Street Action Group ” - Actually Invoked “Lift Us Out Of Poverty” To Heist HUD CDBG Public Monies Intended For The Low-Income, Including The Homeless This was my first comment before the city council. This clip also contains my stunned reation to Jack Paauw’s first vote – the murder of due process in Ordinance 5506. Here council members were all covering up for Andrea Spencer and Wesley Larson. They still are. The entirety of city government now is subsumed in Wesley Larson’s whims. “12-18-24 _DCDs Evergreen Pointe Rig Taints Comp Plan; Nixing Hearing/Appeal Rights Enables Corruption “ "I'm Jose Camacho. I'm a member of Friends of Smith Cove and Rock The Block. I'm kind of here in those two capacities. I'm a Puerto Rican. My parents are economic refugees from Puerto Rico. It's xxx that has been colonized and gas-lighted by my fellow Americans uh and I don't appreciate when the legal process is tampered with by corrupt official because that means I'm not safe. I've given the mayor and DCD and the city copious notice that this town bent so far over backward for sound West group that it broke the law, vitiated the Shoreline Management Act and it intends to carry that forward into the comprehensive plan in response to a year of my complaints the mayor has installed Wesley Arthur Larson's partner into the Planning Commission Jack paw doesn't belong there. This is my assertion that that whole scenario that fiasco making the Planning Commission into a kangaroo court is a violation of the appearance of fairness doctrine now there are specific SMP provisions that make the shoreline a cash cow for Sound West Group and other members of the realtor developer cartel in this town so the rigging of the Evergreen Pointe is a road map for it you want to know what happened there are public record act requests I made which are now open for anyone to grab on to public the rigging is both Map E and it's day-to-day permitting decisions which DCD made in which they just they just flouted Merkel vs. Port of Brownsville, the exemption statute they just ran roughshod over that to make sure that they delivered a special favor to Sound West Group. The other thing, I've been homeless. I understand that. I've slept on the ground. I've used the bathroom outside. For years, Rock The Block - I'm thinking of Joslyn right now have begged for a portapotty - still hasn't happened - money has been preened about, applauded, kudos, and never nothing becomes of it. $100,000 was given to the mayor by Chris Tibbs. I did a Public Record Act request. Nothing - there's no record of it." And this was Denise Frey already lying for SWG: “10-9-24 City Bends The Knee: Sound West Group Installed In Planning Commission Via SWG's Jack Paauw ” https://youtu.be/ABerCusd3_c This installation of Jack Paauw happened while everyone at council knew, because of our year- long communications, that Paauw was (and still is) conflicted. These SWG-Frey emails show not just the appearance of unfairness but the actual malignant determination to deceive the public, skew debate, and turn deceptive public processes into an ATM for Wesley Larson and his cronies. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1gF7T60Y2-6OxK3987w8CUr1FlXJoAv6I
