Meeting Minutes
October 21, 2019
Utility Committee Members Cindy Lucarelli and Fred Chang met on October 21, 2019 at
9:32 a.m. at the Port Orchard City Hall - Room #306. Also present: Public Works
Director/City Engineer Mark Dorsey, Utility Manager Jacki Brown and Operations
Manager Tony Lang.
Waste Management - Discussion: PWD Dorsey and OM Lang discussed two Solid
Waste Management-related topics with Committee members as follows:
• Contract C024-15 Renewal - The current 5-year term solid waste services
contract with Waste Management, Inc. will expire June 30, 2020. A new
contract will come before the City Council sometime within Q1/2020. Please
recall that pursuant to RCW 70.95.080, the City’s solid waste services operates
under the Kitsap County Comprehensive Solid and Hazardous Waste
Management Plan. To be continued.
• Spring/Fall Cleanup - The City’s clean-up program was initiated in the 1980’s,
with no known Resolution and/or Policy directive. The City’s population has
tripled, and the service area quadrupled since inception. As there are many
‘pro’s’ associated with the program, the growth of the city and the expectations
of the community have made the program unmanageable. There is also a
question of ‘gifting’ of public funds that needs to be resolved. To be discussed at
the November 19, 2019 Work Study Session.
Asset Management - Discussion: PWD Dorsey and UM Brown provided Committee
members with a brief overview of the City’s current Asset Management capabilities,
being a GIS inventory platform. But the City needs to include Computer Maintenance
Management Software (CMMS) that integrates into the City’s current GIS Platform and
Finance Department Encode system. To date, the City has been working towards this
requirement and has completed an asset management consultation with AWC. Future
grant and/or loan funding requirements will include having Asset Management/CMMS.
To be continued.
580 Zone Water Campus - Update: PWD Dorsey and UM Brown provided
Committee members with an update on the discussions related to the 580Zone and
McCormick Communities LLC as follows:
• The terms of the amendment to the 2007 Agreement (construction of a new 580
Zone Reservoir, new Water Main and Well #12) between the City of Port
Orchard and McCormick Communities, LLC have been agreed upon. To be
continued.

• The terms of the Agreement between the City of Bremerton and McCormick
Communities, LLC for Well #2A and #1R improvements have been agreed upon.
To be continued.
• The terms of new 580 Zone Interim Agreement between the City of Port Orchard
and the City of Bremerton have been agreed upon. To be continued.
• South Kitsap Fire Rescue, as it relates to the 580 Zone and the current water
moratorium, is supportive of the various terms and/or commitments associated
with the Interim 580 Zone Agreements. To be continued.
Utility Department Work Plan - Update: PWD Dorsey, UM Brown and OM Lang
provided Committee members with updates on the following Projects;
• Foster Pilot Project - The Joint Legislative Task Force continues to address water
source withdrawal mitigation impacts (Steady State vs. Transient Model.) The
work associated with the continued Water Rights support activities and the
Foster-related studies (Hydrogeological, Stream Augmentation/Restoration, etc.)
are ongoing and are critical to the continuation of well production post-Foster
decision. To be continued.
• Well #13 Drilling - The pilot hole drilled to an approximate depth of 2000-feet is
now having the casings installed. To be continued.
• Well #13 Mains & PRV’s - Staff continues to value engineer and field proof the
new system model to finalize the needed main and PRV improvements. To be
continued.
• Well #13 - Maple Avenue (Water Main & Well #6) - BHC is nearing the
completion of the Ad Ready design. To be continued.
• Well #11 Construction - As a function of the updated water system model and
the conversations/pending agreements associated with the 580 Zone, the Well
#11 CIP’s have been updated. This once $1M CIP project was slated for basic
improvements (well pump, new distilling basin & pump house modifications), but
given legislative actions associated with new MCL’s established for Iron
Manganese treatment, this CIP is now a $6M CIP. To be continued.
• McCormick Pump Station #2 - This project has been advertised, and the Bid
Opening date is now set for November 8, 2019. To be continued.
• Water System Plan 2019 - BHC’s updated scheduled to complete the Plan and
submit to City Council is now late 2019/early 2020, given modeling and CIP
issues within the 580 Zone. To be continued.
• Albertson’s Sewer Pump Station - Anticipated changes in the ownership of
several commercial properties located within the Sedgwick/Sidney sanitary sewer
area have provided for a potential ULID and the construction of the new regional
Sidney Pump Station (SPS.) To be continued.
• Marina Pump Station - With the ramped-up RH2 design efforts, finalization of the
Proposed Site Plan is critical. Staff is currently working on confirming that the
proposed plan is coordinated with the Downtown Redevelopment Plan, required
shoreline setbacks and the future Bay Street Pedestrian Pathway West Project.
To be continued.
