conditions warrant the declaration of substantial need in order to maintain City services at their
current levels.

collection through September 2009. Other revenue sources included licenses and permits, state-

Minutes of October 27, 2009
Page 6 of 8
In June of 1995, the City entered into an Interlocal Agreement with Kitsap County for reimbursable
work performed by the County’s public works department. The purpose of the Interlocal Agreement
is to allow the City to request that certain work be performed by the County’s Public Works
Department. For instance, the City has in the past contracted with the County to provide road
striping on certain City streets. The proposed agreement is essentially the same; however, there are
minor differences – the most notable is the City is no longer allowed to obtain the use of equipment
from Kitsap County Public Works Department for specific projects and that the County will perform
the requested work at their convenience. The Public Works Director has reviewed the above noted
differences and would request the Mayor be authorized to enter into an Interlocal Agreement for
reimbursable work performed by Kitsap County Public Works. Staff recommends adoption of
Resolution No. 105-09, authorizing the Mayor to execute an Interlocal agreement for reimbursable
work performed by Kitsap County Public Works.
Councilmember Colebank MOVED and Councilmember Putaansuu seconded the

ORDINANCE NO. 025-09
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PORT ORCHARD,
WASHINGTON, SETTING THE AMOUNT OF PROPERTY TAXES
TO BE LEVIED FOR THE YEAR 2010, INCLUDING
ADMINSTRATIVE REFUNDS
WHEREAS, the City of Port Orchard, with a population over Ten Thousand
(10,000), retains the ability to raise property taxes up to one percent (1%) per year with a
finding of Substantial Need plus all or a portion of property tax levy capacity that has been
banked for future use pursuant to RCW 84.55.092.
WHEREAS, RCW 84.55.010 provides that a taxing jurisdiction may levy taxes in an
amount no more than the limit factor multiplied by the highest levy of the most recent three
years plus additional amounts, including but not limited to those resulting from new
construction, annexation, state assessed utilities, and improvements to property; and
WHEREAS, under RCW 84.55.005(2)(c), the limit factor for a taxing jurisdiction
with a population of 10,000 or over is the lesser of 101 percent or 100 percent plus inflation;
and
WHEREAS, RCW 84.55.005(1) defines “inflation” as the percentage changed in the
implicit price deflator for personal consumption expenditures for the United States as
published for the most recent 12-month period by the Bureau of Economic Analysis of the
U.S. Department of Commerce in September of the year before the taxes are payable; and
WHEREAS, based on the U.S. Department of Commerce’s September publication,
“inflation” for the most recent twelve month period (July 2009) is minus ( - ) 0.848 percent
and therefore the limit factor is 99.152 percent, meaning the taxes levied in the City of Port
Orchard in 2009 for collection in 2010 will decrease except for the amounts resulting from
new construction, improvements to property, and other amounts allowed by statute; and
WHEREAS, notice was given for the annual public hearing on revenue sources held
Ordinance No.025-09
Page 2 of 3
on October 27, 2009 to consider the City of Port Orchard’s current expense and street
budget for the 2010 calendar year pursuant to RCW 84.55.120; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, after a public hearing and after duly considering all
relevant evidence and testimony presented, has determined that the City of Port Orchard
should collect the maximum amount of property tax allowed for the year 2009 for collection
in 2010, in addition to that resulting from the addition of new construction, improvements
to property, annexations, other amounts allowed by statute, and refunds made, in order to
discharge the expected expenses and obligations of the City and in its best interest; now,
therefore,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PORT ORCHARD, WASHINGTON,
DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. There shall be and hereby is levied on all real, personal and utility
property, whose estimated assessed valuation is one billion one hundred sixty-seven
million, twenty one thousand eight hundred eighty-six dollars (1,167,021,886), current
taxes for the year commencing January 1, 2010, at the approximate rate of $2.15 per
thousand dollars of assessed valuation. The regular property tax levy for collection in 2010
is approximately one million six hundred forty-nine thousand six hundred forty four dollars
($1,649,644), plus an additional dollar amount, of approximately eight hundred sixty-five
thousand three hundred ninety-two dollars ($865,392), equal to the amount allowed under
the new construction, improvements to property, any increase in the value of state-assessed
property and annexations that have occurred, by provisions of RCW 84.55.010.
The dollar amount of the increase over the actual levy amount from the previous year
is approximately sixteen thousand three hundred thirty-seven dollars ($16,337), which is a
one percent (1%) increase from the previous year. This increase is exclusive of new
construction, improvements to property, any increase in the values of state assessed
property and any annexations that have occurred.
SECTION 2. In addition, the above amount for regular property tax levies there
will be added administrative refunds of one thousand nine hundred ninety one dollars ($1,
991).
SECTION 3. Severability. If any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause,
or phrase of this ordinance is declared unconstitutional or invalid for any reason, such
decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance.
SECTION 4. This ordinance shall be in full force and effect five (5) days after
posting and publication as required by law. A summary of this Ordinance may be published
in lieu of the entire ordinance, as authorized by State Law.

Need for Purposes of Setting the Limit Atty Routing No 173-09
Factor for the Property Tax Levy for Atty Review Date: November 4, 2009
2010
Summary: The amount of property tax cities can collect is limited. Cities with a population over
10,000 are limited to an annual increase in the property tax of one percent or the rate of
inflation, whatever is less. Inflation is defined as the percentage changed in the Implicit Price
Deflator (IPD) for personal consumption expenditures for the United States as published for
the most recent 12-month period by the Bureau of Economic Analysis of the Federal
Department of Commerce in September of the year before the taxes are payable. The IPD,
which tracks the rate of inflation for our purposes, is a minus ( - ) 0.848 percent and the limit
factor is 99.152. This year the negative rate of inflation is the limiting factor.
The City legislative body may, with a finding of a “substantial need,” pass an ordinance or
resolution by a majority plus one of the council to raise the limit to 101%. “Substantial need” is
not defined in statute leaving broad definitional discretion to the City Council. The ordinance
sets the limit at 101%.
The passage of this ordinance results in the collection of approximately $16,337 property tax.
Which translates to approximately 0.013996 (1¢) per thousand of assessed valuation.
RCW 84.55.0101 requires a finding of substantial need by two – thirds of the members when
the board consists of four members or less, or a majority plus one approval of the board when
the board consists of more than four members.
Recommendation: Finance Committee recommends approval of the ordinance.
Motion for consideration: I move to adopt Ordinance No. 026-09, making a declaration of
substantial need for purposes of setting the limit factor for property tax levy for 2010 be raised
for the budget year of 2010.
Fiscal Impact: The dollar amount of increase over the actual levy amount from the previous
year is approximately $16,337, which is a one percent (1%) increase from 2009.

NEED FOR PURPOSES OF SETTING THE LIMIT FACTOR AT
101% FOR THE PROPERTY TAX LEVY FOR 2010
WHEREAS, the City of Port Orchard’s population is over Ten Thousand (10,000);
and
WHEREAS, pursuant to RCW 84.55.010 and 84.55.005(2)(c), the City Council
previously adopted an Ordinance setting the amount of property taxes to be levied for the
year 2010; and
WHEREAS, RCW 84.55.010 provides that a taxing jurisdiction may levy taxes in an
amount no more than the limit factor multiplied by the highest levy of the most recent three
years plus additional amounts, including but not limited to those resulting from new
construction, annexation, and improvements to property; and
WHEREAS, “inflation” as defined by RCW 84.55.005 is minus ( - ) 0.848 percent

in 2009 for collection in 2010 will decrease except for the amounts resulting from new
construction, annexation, improvements to property, and other amounts allowed by
statute; and
WHEREAS, RCW 84.55.005(2)(b) and 84.55.0101 provide for use of an alternative
limit factor of 101 percent or less with a finding of substantial need by a majority plus one
approval of the City Council; and
WHEREAS, the Port Orchard City Council has determined that, due to the
combined factors of increased cost of operations, a reduction in sales tax receipts, and the
desire to provide an adequate level of City services within the constraints of economic
conditions currently prevailing, there is a substantial need to set the levy limit at 101% in
the event this levy capacity is needed in future years; now, therefore,

of the Active Club Building for the Public Works Director
Annual Alkathon Atty Routing No: NA
Atty Review Date: NA
Summary: On November 2, 2009, the City received a request for special 24-hour use of the Active Club
by Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). The nature of the event is round-the-clock AA meetings during the
annual Alkathon scheduled for November 25 through 29, 2009.
In the tradition of one alcoholic helping another, Port Orchard AA and the Active Club has always been a
point of contact for the alcoholic who is looking for help, as well as an “understanding” gathering place
for the AA member who finds it hard to survive during the holiday season. The Alkathon has become a
tradition in its own right, and AA is grateful that the City continues to allow them to serve the community
in a beneficial manner.
Due to the downturn in the economy, the donations by members for the costs of the program are much
lower than in past years. For this reason, AA is requesting that the fees for the additional hours be
waived. (For 2009, the combined groups will pay $7,124 for the use of the Active Club.)
Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Council approve the request for a special 24-hour use of
the Active Club building by Alcoholics Anonymous beginning November 25 through November 29, 2009,
and waive any additional fees.
Motion for consideration: I move to approve the request by Alcoholics Anonymous for a special 24-hour
use of the Active Club building beginning November 25 through November 29, 2009, and to waive any
additional fees.
Fiscal Impact: The cost of the additional hours would be $375.00. There are costs associated with the
cleaning and maintenance of this facility. Contract janitorial staff regularly cleans the building. Cleaning
and maintenance is supplemented by City staff and community work groups.
Alternatives: The Council could deny use of the facility for this event. The Council could allow use but
charge the standard fees associated with type of use as has been done in the past.

Permit Exemption City Clerk
Atty Routing No: NA
Atty Review Date: NA
Summary: Mr. and Mrs. Strader, 531 Perry Avenue N, have submitted a request for exemption of
their parking permit for a 2000 Alpen Fifth Wheel Travel Trailer, License No. 6654 TJ, which
was previously exempted for the past five years.
Port Orchard Municipal Code 10.18.050 sets forth the criteria for allowing an RV exemption.
The Public Property Committee met on October 21, 2009, and reviewed the criteria for
exemption and recommend the Council approve the requested RV exemption permit. Section
10.18.0503(a-d) allows the Council to set conditions of approval which include, but are not
limited to:
a. The exemption may be revoked if the information contained I the application is no longer
valid or the fifth wheel adversely affects access to mailboxes and driveways or traffic safety;
b. The exemption will automatically terminate if the Fifth Wheel Travel Trailer is sold or
transferred to another person;
c. The exemption will automatically terminate by a date specific, which in no event shall exceed
the period of time requested by the applicant or three years, whichever is shorter; and
d. Any other conditions deemed appropriate under the circumstances to address impacts to the
neighborhood or right-of-way.
Recommendation: Based on the Public Property Committee’s recommendation, staff requests
the Council authorize issuance of a recreational vehicle parking permit exemption to expire
when the vehicle is sold or no later than December 31, 2012.
Motion for consideration: I move to authorize the issuance of a recreational parking permit
exemption for a 2000 Alpen Fifth Wheel Travel Trailer, License No. 6654 TJ, to expire when the
vehicle is sold or no later than December 31, 2012.
Fiscal Impact: None.
Alternatives: Not approve the exemptions and provide direction to staff.
