Purpose: The City of Port Orchard has received complaints from residents of Port Orchard regarding
the illegal dumping of junk, garbage or debris in conjunction with active and abandoned unauthorized
encampments on public property including roadsides, open streets and greenbelts. Illegal dumping and
unauthorized camping may impact the community by affecting public health, safety, land values, quality
of life, and the environment. The City prohibits illegal dumping of junk, garbage and debris on public
property as a threat to the public safety and health. Similarly, unauthorized camping on public property
creates environmental hazards and quality -of -life issues for adjacent neighborhood residents, as well
as for the encampment residents themselves.
The City desires to adopt uniform procedures, in conjunction with existing applicable City and
departmental procedures, to implement existing codified regulations, which balance the public health
and safety concerns of neighborhood residents as well as people experiencing homelessness. These
were prepared by staff to establish uniform procedures for removing unauthorized encampments and
associated junk, garbage or debris from City of Port Orchard property and, where applicable,
temporarily storing personal property in a manner that is consistent with local, state and federal laws.
