Kitsap County Commissioner, Jan Angel and Kitsap County Coroner, Greg Sandstrom, addressed Council
concerning the need for a larger and newer morgue facility. Commissioner Angel advised the morgue
facility has an opportunity to relocate to the Bremerton National Guard Armory Readiness Center, which
would allow for a more centrally located facility; provide for classrooms; and provide a facility for other
counties to utilize. Kitsap County Sandstrom discussed the joint use and cost of the new facility.
Sharon Zerr, Vice President Port Orchard Chamber of Commerce, submitted a letter of support on behalf of
Port Orchard Chamber of Commerce, Board of Directors, urging the City and the PUD to add a fiber optic
spur line to Port Orchard and strongly recommend the City Council secure the necessary requirements to
add this fiber extension during the initial installation phase.
Mary McClure, Kitsap Regional Coordinating Council, presented the Telecommunications Ad Hoc
Committee recommendation to commit $25,000, to hire a consultant, to review the fiber optics connections
in Kitsap County to answer the question: What role, if any, should the Kitsap public agencies play in
providing the "last mile" connection between the KPUD's fiber optics backbone and the end business or
residential customer? The goal of Phase 1 is to develop a more complete understanding of the questions
that need to be answered, the resources to answer them, and the cost of doing so. Ms. McClure is
recommending that each of the member jurisdictions participate in the funding of this effort.
Councilman Clauson moved to authorize an expenditure of not more than $5,000 to fund the city's pro-rata
share of hiring a consultant to review the fiber optics connections in Kitsap County, seconded by
Councilman Wyatt. Motion passed with 3 ayes and 3 nays. Mayor Weatherill broke the tie vote by voting
aye. Councilmembers Morrison, Geiger, and Cramer voting nay. Councilmembers Clauson, Wyatt, and

program-Approximate cost $310,000.

removing the overhead wiring on Bay Street.
