Kitsap County Solid & Hazardous Waste Management Plan - Discussion: Pat
Campbell, KCPW – Solid Waste Division, provided Committee members an overview of
the proposed update to the County’s 6-year Comprehensive Solid & Hazardous Waste
Management Plan, being the 2017-2022 Plan. In brief summary, a Plan is required by
State Law, and the City (along with other local jurisdictions) has historically opted to
adopt the County Plan rather than develop their own. The Department of Ecology
approved Plan contains the following Chapters; Waste Reduction & Recycling, Organics
Management, Construction & Demolition Debris, Promotion, Education and Outreach,
Collection of Solid Waste & Recyclables, Transfer Systems – Waste & Recyclables,
Waste Disposal, Special Wastes and Moderate Risk Waste. The City will be asked to
adopt the updated Plan in January 2018 via Resolution. The current City-County
Interlocal Agreement is valid thru December 2018. PWD Dorsey to provide the County’s
PowerPoint Presentation to the City Clerk for distribution to the full Council. A
Resolution adopting the Plan will be provided at the January 9, 2018 Regular City
Council Meeting.
Water/Sanitary Sewer Rates - Discussion: PWD Dorsey and WSUM Hunter
provided Committee members with a response the Councilman Chang’s recent inquiry
regarding the status of water/sanitary rates and where related information is posted on
the City’s webpage. In summary, it was determined that the Water & Sanitary Sewer
Gap Analysis prepared for the City by Katy Isaksen & Associated in 2014-2015 had been
removed from the webpage, and that the information within the September 25, 2015
PowerPoint presentation provided the desired information, being the needed Bimonthly
Base Rate increases from 2015 thru 2020 to support the Utility’s operations and Capital
Improvement Plan. WSUM Hunter to re-post the PowerPoint presentation and provide
a brief executive summary to be posted as well.

Well No. 9 - Update: PWD Dorsey and WSUM Hunter updated Committee members
on the Well No. 9 Water Treatment Retrofit Construction Project, being that the recent
advertisement suspension was to confirm the August 2015 Pilot Study results that were
questioned during the Advertisement. The October 2017 Pilot Study results confirmed
the previous results, therefore the current design will be re-advertised and a new Bid
deadline established. It is now anticipated that the Construction Contract award will
now occur in January 2018. To be continued.
McCormick Communities W/S Development Agreement - Update: PWD Dorsey
and WSUM Hunter provided Committee members with a brief update on the current
status of the W/S Development Agreement with McCormick Communities, being that
the Agreement is close to being acceptable to both parties and that the adoption of an
Ordinance amending POMC 13.04.025 (W/S Capital Facilities Charges) is needed to
