Agenda Staff Report
Consent Agenda: Adoption of a Resolution Declaring Certain Personal Property as Surplus and
Authorizing its Disposition Thereof (Wallace)
Meeting Date: April 14, 2026
Prepared By: Brandy Wallace, MMC, CPRO, City Clerk
Summary and Background: Assets of the City that are no longer usable, are no longer of value to the
City, or are surplus to City needs, may be removed from City ownership, sold, or in any other way
disposed with a declaration of surplus by the City Council.
Staff is asking the Council to surplus various personal property, such as Go -4, Tractor and brush cutter,
Mitsubishi Outlander, Ford F250, Chevy Silverado, and a Ford Escape, as described in the attached
Exhibit A, as they are no longer useful to the City.
The items were obtained by funds from the the ER&R and stormwater.
The Finance department has estimated the current value of the items to be $10,100. These items were
not acquired for public utility purposes; therefore, a public hearing is not required, pursuant to RCW
35.94.040(2).
Although the City's internal asset value of the items may be undervalued, any monies from the sale of
surplus property will be deposited into the Fund(s) which owned them. When disposal is to the
general public through direct sale, sealed bid or auction, final determination of value shall be the
highest responsible bid or offer. The City may transfer a surplus asset to another public agency upon
written request and a determination that it is in the public interest. Staff will dispose the items in a
manner that reflects the best interest of the City.
Relationship to Comprenhensive Plan: N/A
Recommendation: Staff is recommending adoption of a resolution declaring personal property as
surplus and allowing for its disposition.
Motion for Consideration: I move to adopt a resolution declaring surplus of various personal property,
such as a Go -4, Tractor and brush cutter, Mitsubishi Outlander, Ford F250, Chevy Silverado, and a Ford
Escape, as described in the attached Exhibit A, valued at a total amount of $10,100, belonging to the
ER&R and stormwater funds, as surplus and authorizing its disposition.
Has item been presented to Committee/Work Study? If so, which one: N/A
4
Fiscal Impact: Money received from the disposition of surplus items will be deposited into the Fund(s)
of ownership.
Alternatives: Do not adopt and provide further guidance.

Agenda Staff Report
Consent Agenda: Approval of an Agreement with the Police Guild regarding methodology for
determining seniority (Lund)
Meeting Date: April 14, 2026
Prepared By: Debbie Lund, Human Resources Director, CEBS SPHR SHRM-SCP
Presenter: Debbie Lund, CEBS SPHR SHRM-SCP, Human Resources Director
Summary and Background:
When the police department has multiple simultaneous vacancies, prospective employee availability
and the time required to onboarding new employees occasionally results in two or more employees
starting on the same date. Seniority and the impacts thereof in the Police Guild contract is important
for many reasons including shift bidding and layoff determinations. The current collective bargaining
agreement between the City and the Police Guild is silent as it relates to tie breakers for the purposes
of seniority. Likewise the City's Civil Service Rules and City policy are also silent on the subject.
Therefore, the City worked with Police Guild leadership to create language to augment the collective
bargaining agreement that provides for a tie breaker in the event two or more employees start
employment with the Police Department on the same day.
The proposed Memorandum of Understanding under consideration tonight is a draft until approved by
Council and signed by the parties and will be sent to Council under separate cover by the City
Attorney.
Relationship to Comprenhensive Plan: n/a
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the City Council authorize the Mayor to sign an Agreement with the Port Orchard
Police Guild regarding seniority tie breaker contract language.
Motion for Consideration:
I move to authorize the Mayor to sign an Agreement with the Port Orchard Police Guild regarding the
42
methodology for determining seniority.
Has item been presented to Committee/Work Study? If so, which one: N/A
Fiscal Impact: n/a
Alternatives:
Do not approve and provide alternate direction to staff.

The rights of way and alleys proposed for vacation total approximately 38,641 square feet.
Pursuant to POMC Section 12.08, on March 24, 2026, the City held a public hearing to take testimony
on whether the City Council should vacate City Right -of -Way (ROW). During that public hearing,
testimony was received from a property owner with property adjacent to the proposed vacation
objecting to the vacation. To confirm, all existing easements / property rights pertaining to utility
access will not impacted by this proposed vacation, per POMC 12.08.050(3)("No vested rights shall be
affected" by the vacation). Additionally, the ordinance grants an easement for all public and private
utilities located within the vacated area, including for ingress and egress.
POMC 12.08.017 and POMC 12.08.050 authorizes the City to obtain an appraisal of the area proposed
for vacation to assist the City Council in evaluating proposed adequate compensation for proposed
vacations. Compensation can include an in -lieu transfer of real property, as well as other contributions
of a monetary value. Following an appraisal, Kitsap County provided a statement of proposed
compensation for the areas to be vacated, including the payment to the City of $30,000, the transfer
of Veterans Park (48 -acres of real property located within the City), and dedicated public parking on
the County's Campus for special event parking (where an event is sponsored or promoted by the City).
A copy of Kitsap County's proposal to compensate the City is included in the packet for tonight's
meeting, referenced in the draft Ordinance, and cannot be acted upon until after the public hearing
and associated action by the City Council, if any. As set out in the Ordinance, if approved, the
monetary compensation would be paid prior to recording of the Ordinance, with the non -monetary
compensation set out in an Agreement, in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.
Upon payment of the compensation, the property within the vacation limits so vacated "shall belong
to the abutting owners, one-half to each." POMC 12.08.050(3). Kitsap County owns most of the
abutting property. For the portion of vacated area abutting property not owned by Kitsap County, the
private property owner will receive title to 1/2 of the portion abutting their property (up to the mid -
line of the vacated right of way).
Lastly, consistent with the requirements of POMC Chapter 12.08, Staff has determined the following
with regards to the proposed street vacation:
• The area sought to be vacated was part of the incorporation of the Town of Sidney in 1890.
• The City Engineer has reviewed the street vacation petition and has indicated the following:
1. The area sought to be vacated is not needed for public travel now or in the foreseeable future.
2. The functionality of the area sought to be vacated for public purposes is nonexistent.
3. The vacation of the area would not adversely affect any City utilities, such as water, sewer, or
storm, provided there will be an easement required from the County to providing access to the
City's existing utilities in the area.
4. The City has not included any projects within the proposed vacation area as part of its six -year
51
road plan, nor has the City any scheduled capital facilities projects on this property.
The Community Development Director stated the following:
1. Vacation of the proposed area does not create potential or actual land uses that are inconsistent
with City growth plans and goals. This area has not been identified in the City's Comprehensive
Plan.
Relationship to Comprenhensive Plan: N/A
Recommendation: Based on the report provided to the Council, staff recommends approving the
street vacation petition by Kitsap County, as presented.
Motion for Consideration: I move to adopt an Ordinance Vacating the Rights -of -Way, as presented.
Has item been presented to Committee/Work Study? If so, which one: Land Use Committee
Fiscal Impact: Pursuant to the Council's action, the City would receive an amount not to exceed the
fair market value of the area to be vacated.
Alternatives: Deny the street vacation and provide alternative guidance.

City of Port Orchard

Port Orchard, WA 98366
RE: Kitsap County Courthouse Project - ROW Vacations for Phase OA and 0B
Dear Mayor Putaansuu:
Commissioner Root and I appreciated the collaborative efforts at our meeting on October 24, 2025
with Councilmembers Morrissey and Trenary and yourself, as well as various County Courthouse
elected officials. We trust that working through solutions for this Courthouse Project ROW will serve
as a promising foundation for moving forward amiably on the rest of the Project as well as other
intergovernmental efforts.
As discussed at that meeting and in recent correspondence, the County presents the following
agreement points relative to City ROW within the Project site:
City of Port Orchard Commitment:
1. The City will initiate and complete the vacation of all necessary rights -of -way (ROW) for
Kitsap County to complete Courthouse Phase 0 (including Phases OA and 0B), for the
mutual benefit of the City, the County, and the public. The City will ensure that all required
areas identified in the attached map and legal descriptions are included in the vacation
process.
Kitsap County Commitment:
1. Veterans Park Transfer: The County agrees to transfer to the City of Port Orchard the 48 -
acre Veterans Park (Park) at a date of the City's choosing but no later December 31, 2035.
The parties recognize that the Park is wholly surrounded within the City of Port Orchard, is a
fully developed park with six baseball fields, restrooms, a walking trail with a display of
historic military equipment and a creek, is uniquely located next to South Kitsap High School
on a major transportation corridor and has thus been historically used by City residents.
Acquisition by the City will allow the City to control the use and improvements to the Park in
ways that will align with the vision and goals of the City for its residents, including its use in
the future for events, programs, and development of other amenities that the City may want.
In recognition of the importance of this asset to the City, the County agrees to maintain the
Park in its current condition until the transfer is complete.
2. Parking:
a. As a sign of its appreciation for the community's support of the campus, the County
will provide public access to the County's new surface parking lot, free of charge, for
up to six days per calendar year for special events sponsored or promoted by the
City.
o To ensure County operations are uninterrupted, special event parking lot use
will not overlap with regular County operating hours or require spaces
needed for County evening and/or weekend operations (such as the Jail).
614 Division Street, MS -4 • Port Orchard, Washington 98366-4676 • (360) 337-7080
www. kitsa p.gov
58
o The City must provide the County with an annual schedule of requested
event dates no later than January 31 each year, or at least ninety (90) days
prior to any event date not included in the annual schedule.
o The City has committed to the County that event holders will be responsible
for ensuring that all vehicles are removed from the lot by midnight following
each event to avoid conflict with regular County business.
b. Once County parking needs are met for all operations, functions, and shifts at
Campus facilities, members of the public, including City residents, will have 24 -hr
paid parking access to the remaining available spaces.
c. To operate the parking lot, known as Phase 0 of the Kitsap County Courthouse
Project, the County plans to contract with a parking management service. In its
negotiations for this contract, Kitsap County will evaluate whether weekend parking
can be offered at rates lower than those charged during weekdays without impact to
County operations or its finances. Should these terms not be achievable, the County
will report to the City why that could not be obtained and provide any solutions that
would enable it in the future.
3. Cash: The County will pay the City a one-time sum of $30,000 as additional consideration for
the City's fees and administrative costs related to the ROW vacation, as well as the public
benefit, value, and past improvements associated with the vacated ROW.
If this is agreeable in principle by the City, please sign and return this letter. We will then proceed
with drafting a more formal agreement that can be signed by both parties.
Sincerely,
Victoria "Torie" Brazitis
County Administrator

Summary and Background: In 2025, the City received an application for a site -specific rezone of 6.9
acres from Commercial Corridor (CC) to Commercial Mixed -Use for two adjoining parcels located at
4385 Sidney Road SW in the City of Port Orchard. Pursuant to Port Orchard Municipal Code 20.40.040
and Chapter 20.24, the application was routed to the Hearing Examiner to hold a noticed public
hearing on proposed site -specific rezones and make a recommendation to the city council as to
whether the proposed rezone meets the criteria in POMC § 20.42.030. On January 28, 2026, the
City's Hearing Examiner held an open record public hearing on the Sidney Rd Investments Storage
Facility Rezone (LU25-REZONE-02). Notice for the public hearing was provided consistent with POMC
20.40 and 20.24. At this hearing, staff presented a staff report to the Hearing Examiner.The Hearing
Examiner's role was to determine whether the proposed rezone meets the criteria outlined in POMC
20.42.030, to issue related findings and conclusions of law, and to make a recommendation to the City
Council.
At the March 24, 2026 City Council meeting, the City Council held a properly noticed closed -record
hearing to consider the Hearing Examiner's Recommendation which was included in the City Council's
packet along with the entirety of the Record considered by the Hearing Examiner. The public was
notified of a closed record hearing on the Sidney Rd Investments Storage Facility Rezone as scheduled
before the City Council on March 24, 2026. Only the parties, including the applicant and any member
of the public who provided testimony at the public hearing held on January 28, 2026, were permitted
to provide testimony at the Closed Record Hearing.
After holding the closed record hearing, considering all testimony, and deliberating, the City Council
voted 6-1 to affirm the Hearing Examiner's Recommendation and to direct staff to prepare an
ordinance amending the City's Zoning Map to rezone the parcels 4385 Sidney Road SW, from
Commercial Corridor to Commercial Mixed Use. This ordinance was prepared in compliance with that
direction. The zoning change is illustrated in Exhibit A to the adopting ordinance included in the
packet.
Relationship to Comprenhensive Plan: Land Use, Housing, and Economic Development Elements of
69
the adopted 2024 City of Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan.
Recommendation: Consistent with the direction from the City Council on March 24, 2026, staff
prepared an Ordinance amending the Official Zoning Map of the City of Port Orchard reclassifying the
property located at 4385 Sidney Road SW (LU25-Rezone-02), from Commercial Corridor to Commercial
Mixed Use.
Motion for Consideration: I move to approve an Ordinance amending the Official Zoning Map of the
City of Port Orchard, reclassifying the property located at 4385 Sidney Road SW, from Commercial
Corridor to Commercial Mixed Use.

Agenda Staff Report
Business Items: Adoption of an Ordinance creating the position of Compliance Program Manager and
setting the salary for the position (Lund)
Meeting Date: April 14, 2026
Prepared By: Debbie Lund, Human Resources Director, CEBS SPHR SHRM-SCP
Presenter: Debbie Lund, CEBS SPHR SHRM-SCP, Human Resources Director
Summary and Background: The City Council has the legislative authority over the creation of new
positions and to set the general job duties and conditions. When appropriate, the Mayor and staff
make recommendations for new positions that are identified to fill an operational need, or the
elimination of positions that are unnecessary or redundant.
The City is currently undergoing an evaluation of the Community Development Department in order to
identify methods for improvement of the delivery of services. The City of Port Orchard employs two
part-time parking enforcement officers. In recent years, the positions have been supervised by the
Community Development Director.
The Mayor recently took action to move the Parking Enforcement officers to the Public Works
Department, to increase bandwidth for the Community Development Director to work on
methodology for improvement of services. Simultaneous with this decision was a review of the
position of Public Works Administrative Specialist, a position currently held by Melinda Lohre. During
that review, it was identified that the Public Works Administrative Specialist duties had evolved since it
was created and now include the performance of higher level tasks that were not anticipated at the
time the position was created, including field work and collaboration with the surface and stormwater
inspection staff. The review further identified a potential improvement for Public Works in the form of
a supervisory role to assist the surface and stormwater inspection staff.
Additionally, many of the councilmembers may remember that Ms. Lohre held the position of Parking
Enforcement Officer herself for 14 years before moving into an office position. With the move of
parking enforcement to Public Works, Ms. Lohre is uniquely qualified to supervise the current parking
enforcement officers.
Therefore, to better reflect the current responsibilities performed by the Public Works Administrative
Specialist related to the City's surface and stormwater permits, and to create a supervisory position
for the parking enforcement team, the position of Compliance Program Manager is being proposed.
75
The Ordinance for consideration tonight would create the position of Compliance Program Manager,
establishing the general duties and qualifications for the position and establish the pay range for the
position. This salary range is based on an internal equity analysis of similarly situated positions.
The City Council previously adopted Ordinance 008-20, which delegates authority to the Mayor to
establish and amend job descriptions, provided they are consistent with the general qualifications and
duties assigned by the Council. Therefore, attached to this proposed Ordinance for Council's
consideration is a summary of qualifications and duties for the newly proposed position.
Relationship to Comprenhensive Plan: n/a
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the attached Ordinance which includes provisions
for general qualifications and duties assigned for the new position of Compliance Program Manager
and approval of the salary range for the position.
Motion for Consideration:
I move to adopt an Ordinance authorizing the creation of the position of Compliance Program
Manager, establishing general qualifications and duties for the position and setting the salary range for
the position.
Has item been presented to Committee/Work Study? If so, which one: No
Fiscal Impact: Fiscal information was not available at the time this report was due. Fiscal impact is
minimal as a result of the promotion of one employee and, if an adjustment is needed, can be
accounted for in an upcoming budget amendment.
Alternatives:
Do not approve the position summary and proposed salary and provide alternative guidance.

WHEREAS, the City has shifted the parking enforcement team from the Community
Development Department to the Public Works Department, which enables the Community
Development Department to redirect its resources and attention toward core functions such as
permitting, planning, and customer service; and
WHEREAS, within the Public Works Department there exists a current position whose job
duties and responsibilities have extended beyond what was expected; and
WHEREAS, the City has determined that it is appropriate to have the surface and
stormwater permit and parking enforcement managed by the same position to increase
efficiency and streamline management; and
WHEREAS, the title of Compliance Program Manager has been chosen as appropriate for
the position; and

Business Items: Approval of a Contract with Granicus for SmartGOV System Improvements (Bond)
Meeting Date: April 14, 2026
Prepared By: Nick Bond, AICP, Community Development Director
Presenter: Nick Bond, AICP, Community Development Director
Summary and Background: The city operates the SmartGOV permitting system to manage its
permitting workflow. During a 2025 LEAN process improvement exercise, the City mapped its
permitting process and documented several permitting system bottlenecks and inefficiencies. To
address these bottlenecks and inefficiencies, the City interviewed various software providers,
conducted staff and applicant surveys, and determined that activating additional features within
SmartGOV was the fastest and most cost effective way to improve the permitting process for its
customers.
Granicus has provided a a proposal that includes on -time fees as well as additional annual subscription
fees to upgrade the city's software. This proposal will include:
• Employee Training
• Project Management Support
• A Financial Connector (To facilitate payment of permit fees online at the time applications are
submitted online)
• A connector to the City's BlueBeam software that will allow plans to be marked up within the
permit system.
• A connector to the City's Laserfiche system to ensure that records are backed up and available
for public viewing in the City's public records library.
• Consulting Hours (To help city staff configure and activate features)
The total cost for this contract is $29,383.56. With this expenditure, the city will launch its online
permitting portal and will more seamlessly be able to accept permit applications, fees, and route
permits for review.
Ongoing annual costs for these features will be $4,066.84 annually to be added to our existing
subscription cost of $25,916.10 annually. These costs will be offset by the elimination of the City's
Camino application portal, a platform that is not integrated with SmartGOV and which currently costs
the city $15,000 per year. The 2026 subscription costs will be prorated for the remainder of 2026.
Annual subscription costs are subject to increase by the vendor each year.
Relationship to Comprenhensive Plan: Numerous comprehensive plan goals and policies call for the
80
efficient and timely review of permit applications. Timely permitting is also one of 15 goals of the
growth management act which mandates that the City adopt a Comprehensive Plan.
Recommendation: A motion to approve a contract with Granicus for SmartGOV permitting system
improvements.
Motion for Consideration: I move to approve a contract with Granicus for SmartGOV permit system
improvements.
Has item been presented to Committee/Work Study? If so, which one: N/A
Fiscal Impact: This is an unbudgeted one time expense of $29,383.56 plus $4,055.84 annually, with
annual increases by vendor (note: annual cost will be prorated in 2026).
Alternatives: Do not approve the contract.

front annually prior to the then -current term. Hardware will be invoiced to Client upon shipment.

to reinstate the subscription. All fees are exclusive of applicable state, local, and federal taxes, which, if
any, will be included in the invoice. It is Client's responsibility to provide applicable exemption
certificate(s).
b) Payment. Client will remit payment of the fees due within thirty (30) days of receipt of an accurate
invoice from Granicus or its authorized reseller, or if Client is subject to different payment terms imposed
by applicable regulation, such required payment duration. Any disputed amounts will be identified in
writing to Granicus within the payment period or be deemed accurate and payable. With respect to any
amount due to Granicus which is not paid within the payment period, Granicus may apply interest at the
rate of one and half percent (1.5%) per month, or such lesser amount required by law, assessed from the
due date through the date of payment. Client acknowledges and agrees that orders placed by Client for
Products and Services will be non -cancellable and the fees paid are non-refundable unless otherwise
expressly stated in the Agreement.
c) Purchase Orders. Upon request, Granicus will reference a purchase order number on its invoices

d) Price Changes. Subject to any price schedule or pre -negotiated fees to which this Agreement or
an Order may be subject, Granicus will provide notice of any price changes prior to the end of the current

reviewed annually prior to commencement of the Renewal Term, with fees adjusted to cover increases in
Client's use.
e) Cooperative Purchasing. To the extent permitted by law the terms of this Agreement may be
extended for use by other municipalities, school districts and governmental agencies. Orders and SOWs
entered into by such third parties are independent agreements between the third party and Granicus and
do not affect this Agreement or any Order or SOW between Granicus and Client.
f) Overages. For any Products or Services purchased in tiers, with volume caps, specified number
of users, or other measured metrics, it is the Client's responsibility to purchase up to the level of use
needed by Client. Any overage will be charged to Client at the then -current rate for such tier or volume,
or the rate set forth in Client's pricing arrangements with Granicus or Granicus resellers. Payment for
such overages must be made in the then -current term unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing.
g) Resellers. If Client has entered into a separate agreement with an authorized distributor or

terms contained herein solely as they relate to payment schedules and pricing as negotiated between
Client and the reseller.

a) Content. Client will be solely responsible for the Content submitted to the Products and will
comply with all laws, rules and regulations relating to the use, disclosure and transmission of such

Additional discussion was held which included education, relation to public records requests,
implementation, vendors, and that Councilmembers would not be subject to the policy.
Council Direction: Allow Councilmembers a couple more weeks to review and understand the
policy with possible adoption during the first meeting in April.
B. Naming Rights and Philanthropic Giving
Mayor Putaansuu provided an update on Kitsap Community Foundation applying for a grant and
no capacity to do a fundraising campaign.
Jason Driver, Executive Director of Kitsap Regional Library, spoke about donor intent and
transparency. They are aligned in wanting to see the community events center built as the
library will have a critical space. They are applying for a state grant for part of their funding
requirements and securing donations through the Kitsap Regional Library Foundation.
Additional discussion was held which included contribution from Public Facilities District, staffing
ability, paying an outside vendor to do the work, going out for an REP [Request for Proposal],
sponsorships, and making sure to align with the library on donorships.
Council direction: Staff to advertise an RFP for Fundraising Campaign Consulting Services.
C. NEW: Cost for Inspection of Tents
Community Development Director Bond said in spring of 2025, the City's fee resolution was
amended. One of the amended fees had to do with permits for membrane structures. These are
large tents for special events. Under the building code they do require a permit, and the tents
have a pretty high wind load so there is a risk if you have windstorms the tents could pick up and
leave. We want to inspect those and make sure that they are assembled in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions and that they are anchored properly. When we have special events,
it's a requirement that you get these permits. The fee has always been $0 but there was a
technology fee. Staff is sometimes having to do inspections after hours. It is about 2 to 3 hours
for plan review and inspection time, so, we established a fee per tent, somewhere in the mid -
$200 range [$225].
We have an event planned that is proposing to put up two tents. They feel like getting charged
twice for tents that are being set up at the same time was unreasonable or an unfair fee.
The Finance Committee talked about revising the structure so that if somebody is having an
event with multiple tents, they would pay a flat fee for the first tent, and then a smaller fee for
any additional tents, provided they're installed at the same time and permitted at the same
time.
We plan to bring a fee resolution revision to Council next week where we're amending the
membrane tent structure permit fee.
Discussion was held which included the current and proposed fees, inspection and plan reviews,
and technology fee.

Council direction: Staff to move forward with the proposed changes and bring them to the
next Council meeting for adoption.
D. NEW: Lodging Tax Funding
Councilmember Morrissey explained a request has been made to reopen lodging tax funding.
This organization was not awarded any money because their application was not submitted on
time. He is inclined to not reopen as there is no budget to reallocate. We can't rescind the
contracts that have already been awarded.
Council direction: Not reopen for lodging tax funding.
E. NEW: Consent Agenda Approval Process
Mayor Putaansuu asked the Council to contact him in advance if they would like to move an
item from the Consent Agenda to Business Items as the approval of the Consent Agenda
has gotten a little clunky.
City Attorney Archer noted staff does what the Council tells us to do. So if Council gives staff
rules about what goes on Consent and what doesn't, we follow those rules. We're not trying to
advocate for a lack of transparency in any way, we are simply doing what Council has told staff.
Discussion was held which included asking the Mayor or department head for clarification on
items, item transparency, and types of items listed under Consent.
Council direction: No direction given to staff.
F. NEW: Grant Program for Downtown Improvements
City Attorney Archer explained she and Community Development Director Bond met with the
Development Director of the City of Auburn about their Facade Improvement Grant Program.
The program started from a declaration of an emergency from the Mayor's office issued as to the
condition and safety of the downtown core. If we start with a similar declaration, it gives us some
leverage to avoid gifting challenges. We also focus on the benefits to the public of the program,
and that's how we establish that this is for a valid program, or for a valid public purpose.
The City of Auburn's program focuses on the restoration of the facades of their historic and
unique buildings in their downtown core. They grant approximately $100,000 per year for this
program, and it is a rolling, first -come, first -served grant application process. They utilize a
matching program for theirs, and these funds shall only be used for facade improvements that
are of a certain nature. Commercial property owners or business leases with written
authorization of the property owner meet the eligibility requirements. Buildings with more than
25 full-time employees, or that are primarily residential do not meet the criteria, and newly
constructed buildings do not meet the criteria. You need to be one of the historic older
buildings.
As to their matching and the actual award structure, they have 3 categories. The first category is
grants -seeking money for improvements of $5,000 or less. These are things that do not require
building permitting, such as painting, some decorative lighting, signage, and awnings.
104
March 17, 2026, City Council Meeting Minutes
Page 4 of 4
If you get that first category of a grant, you have no matching obligation, other than you're
expected to do everything within that $5,000, so there's some volunteer labor likely expected.
The second category is improvements above $5,000, but under $50,000. They will require
professional design services, and will have a graduated matching contribution. These are usually
capturing window, door, storefront upgrades, and masonry work. This does require a match, and
it is a sliding scale. Typically it is 30% owner, 70% grant funding, up to $30,000. That's where the
$30,000 comes from. As it goes up to that $50,000 field between 30 and 50, the match increases
to 50% owner, 50% city. The third category are for improvements that are at $50,000 and would
be full facade restoration, significant structural or electrical work, and significant historic
restoration.
This is reimbursement -based, receipt are submitted rather than getting the funding up front.
Discussion was held which included timelines, inflation or increases in costs associated with
construction, using a tiered approach, flexibility, small improvements, and first come, first
served process.
Council direction: Staff to prepare a policy, consistent with the City of Auburn's policy, for a
Downtown Revitalization Policy, and to submit to the Finance Committee for initial review.
G. Town Hall Meeting Format
Mayor Putaansuu said the third location has been finalized and will be held at the Christian Life
Center in September. To recap, the first town hall will be held at McCormick Woods [April 9] and
the second town hall at Gathered by Josephine's[June 4].
Discussion was held which included meeting format, topics, the Mayor Pro -tern will facilitate
the meeting, less formality than a regular Council meeting, question and answer session,
breakouts, and State of the City address.
Council direction: No direction given to staff.
3. GOOD OF THE ORDER
In response to Councilmember Rosapepe, Mayor Putaansuu stated the City has no concerns
about its fuel budget.
