PRESENTATION There were no presentations. 6. PUBLIC HEARING A. New Port Orchard Municipal Code Chapter 6.20 Plastic Bag Reduction Mayor Putaansuu opened the public hearing at 6:35 p.m. Bob Showers questioned the findings and research and asked where it came from. Why are we exempting people on the federal and state programs? Also, where did the 8 cents come from? In response to Mr. Showers, Mayor Putaansuu said Kitsap County has adopted a ban, and if we adopt one as well, the only place in Kitsap County that would not have a ban would be the City of Poulsbo. We are following what the County, Bremerton, and Bainbridge Island have done. Additionally, the language we have is similar to what the State was proposing to do, but they did not take action at the time. Katherine Holm, Washington Food Industry Association, said in regard to the exemptions, in 2011, they worked with the USDA and the US Attorney's Office, and this was the guidance they gave us as a way to make sure we are federally compliant. The idea is so we are not impacting low income who cannot afford to pay the 5, 8, or 10 cents.

The motion carried. F. New Item: To Amend A Previously Adopted Ordinance No. 029-19. Development Director Bond said the ordinance before you tonight shows the amendments that were supposed to be included in the version that came to you for your vote on August 131h. The wrong version of this ordinance was included in the folder for August 13th. This ordinance is to make sure that what was adopted last week matches what was reviewed at the July 16th work study meeting. The changes in this ordinance relate to simplifying the process for getting permits for minor land disturbing activities. MOTION: By Councilmember Ashby, Seconded by Councilmember Lucarelli, to amend Ordinance No. 029-19 relating to clarifying requirements for minor land disturbing activity permits and amending certain sections of Title 20 of the Port Orchard Municipal Code by incorporating the strikeout deletions and the underline additions to Port Orchard Municipal Code 20.140.070 subsection (2)(1) and Port Orchard Municipal Code 20.140.080, subsections 1, 2, 4 and 7 as set forth in the revised document presented by the Department of Community Development. The motion carried. (Amended Ordinance No. 029-19) 8. DISCUSSION ITEMS (No Action to be Taken) A. Vision 2050 Draft Plan Minutes of August 20, 2019 Page 5 of 7 Community Development Director Bond explained on July 19, 2019, the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) released the draft VISION 2050 regional plan, which is intended to guide development in the central Puget Sound region over the new few decades. The regional policies of VISION 2050 will directly influence the City's next Comprehensive Plan update in 2024. In particular, the City will need to accommodate any changes in population and employment targets through its zoning and infrastructure policies. In March 2018, comments were provided to PSRC on some of the draft policies that were being vetted through the Growth Management Policy Board and Regional Staff Committee. We later worked with other jurisdictions to have minor changes made to allocations coming to Kitsap County. Those policies are in the draft document which we briefly discussed. Mr. Bond asked Council if they have other concerns to communicate to PSRC. If no concerns, we should write letter of support of the plan that is presented. After a brief discussion, Mayor Putaansuu suggested bringing this back to Council on September 10th as an action item. The Land Use Committee will also discuss during their August 261n meeting. 9.

CITIZEN COMMENTS Chuck Huck, Robert McGee, Julie Schroath, Tim Wiles, Christina Foreman and Kristi McGee, spoke to the Annapolis pathway including urging Council to listen to the community; voiced concerns with Kitsap Transit using the Annapolis dock; lack of transparency; parking in Annapolis; citizen complaints against the City; speed bumps on Bay Street; painted pathway; lack of bicyclists; putting together an unbiased group or committee for whom citizens could ask questions; revitalizing Port Orchard; and thanked Councilmembers who reached out to them after the last Council meeting. Councilmember Clauson clarified the Waterman is a larger vessel, it is not a high speed vessel, it does not travel the speeds necessary to go to Seattle.
