8ob showers questioned the findings and research and asked where it came from. why are we
exempting people on the federar and state programs? Arso, where did the g cents come from?
ln 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 lsland 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.
Kather ne Holm, washington Food rndustry 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.

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 overthe newfew decades. The regional policies of VISION 2050 willdirectly
influence the City's next Comprehensive Plan update in 2024. ln particular, the City will need to
accommodate any changes in population and employment targets through its zoning and
infrastructure policies.
ln March 2018, comments were provided to PSRC on some of the draft policies that were being vetted
through the GroMh Mana8ement 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. lf no concerns, we should
write letter of support of the plan that is presented.
