Non-Motorized Citizen Advisory Committee Attendees: Paul Dutky, John Willett, David Brumsickle, Melissa Laird, Nancy Whitaker, Ray Pardo County Staff: David Forte, Jeff Shea Public Comment:

Silverdale trails - David Brumsickle and Rick Feeney went through to see if they could find a way through - presented map of Clear Creek Trail

Minutes approved unanimously

Nancy Whitaker moved and Ray Pardo seconded. Chair's report:

Meeting with Pierce County - to collaborate on a connecting route.

Shorewood Park- Jackson Park trail - Navy can lock the fence when they want to close the trail. Access is available to the public on both north and south sides of the gate, even when the gate is locked closed.

Talked to Jeff Elevado at Bremerton P&R who stated his department was in favor of this connection through Jackson Park, but the Navy needed to weigh in before his department would get involved. A meeting with the Navy has not yet occurred.

North South trail planning meeting. Paul suggested the Committee postpone the meeting until after TIPS prioritization is completed for this year.

Nancy Whitaker motioned to table discussion and Ray Pardo seconded - unanimously approved.

Paul walked his proposed connection between Port Orchard and Gorst and found it was not feasible. Alternatives are needed to connect Port Orchard to Bremerton.

DB and PD met with Mark Fisher regarding the Green Mountain trails. David Brumsickle is getting a group of people together on January 29 at 7pm at Silverdale Cyclery to form a Friends of Green Mountain group to promote designated trails and mountain bike paths in the DNR lands between Green Mountain summit and Leber Lane extending north to the Newberry Hill Heritage Park.

Communication log - David Forte suggested a communications log could help the committee coordinate its efforts. It would be voluntary.

Bike map - this committee and West Sound Cycling Club are interested in working with the County to complete the draft bike map presented to this committee in July. The existing facilities map could easily be derived from the bike map. This work can be done by volunteers if it was converted from Arc-GIS to Adobe Illustrator.

Staff Report: David Forte

David will be the staff lead for the committee. An additional staffer will be starting on Feb 8th.

He will be providing updates through a task spreadsheet.

Trigger Ave/Kegley Road - The County met with landowners and they are agreeable to opening a discussion - the Right Of Way specialist with the County is confident that it is feasible.

Board of Commissioners approved work plan for Committee, with guidance that the committee’s work plan schedule reflects the priorities of: completing the infrastructure assessment, identifying gaps in connectivity, and prioritizing projects to support non-motorized transportation.

County will come back to the Committee for feedback on future Gorst non-motorized study.

Committee Member Report: Ray Pardo

Kitsap County North-South Shared Use Path - J.W. Dickenson is not a perfect route - other routes should be investigated, but first we need to create a set of guiding principles, such as connecting towns/centers.

Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) & Regional Grant process and schedules:

Transportation Project Evaluation System 2015: TIP is the 6-year program which is financially constrained (only projects which have a reliable mechanism that will fund the project). The County will do a revenue forecast which will set the basis for the selection process. Projects are selected on a year-by-year basis. Tier 1 projects are identified in the 6 year plan and the money is accounted for. Tier 2 projects are the ones that almost made it but they did not rate high enough either in points or in funding. Tier 3 projects are identified in the Comp plan but may not be needed until future program years. Tier 4 projects may not be fully formed but are on the wish list for future development. If projects are on Tier 1, they are considered grandfathered and are very rarely unfunded or not advanced. Annually, projects are identified and reviewed then scored. Projects are then reviewed by the Technical Advisory Committee (about 20 County employees) and top projects are recommended. Finally, the County Commissioners will review and adopt the six-year TIP. Tier 2 projects are preliminarily scored and the top 42 are reviewed further. These are the projects from which the Non-Motorized Committee will review further to help with ranking.

PSRC Countywide Transportation Committees Non-Motorized Set-Aside

PSRC has federal funding which is available to Kitsap County via grants. 10% of the share must be used towards non-motorized projects. There is special criteria for non-motorized funding.

Nancy proposed that we table the nominations until February. Motion denied? Nominations for Chair:

John Willett has declined the Chair position. Paul Dutky nominated David Brumsickle as Chair. John Willett seconded the motion. John Willett nominated Paul Dutky for Vice-Chair. Ray Pardo seconded. Paul Dutky nominated Melissa Laird for Vice-Chair. Ray Pardo seconded. Ray Pardo motioned that we close the nominations. John Willett seconded the nomination and the motion was unanimously approved.

Work Program Schedule:

3 | P a g e

Created by David Forte to show intensity of schedule based on work plan items for 2016. Additional items can be updated as needed.

David requests that the Committee members review the TIP process documents prior to the February meeting.

In March the meeting will be held at the Eagles Nest - at the Kitsap County Fairgrounds. Meeting adjourned at 8:33pm

3. Minutes:

• Minutes from January were edited, amended and approved

4.. Chair’s Report:

• Silverdale Clear Creek multimodal trail concept. Rick Feeney gave a brief description of the proposed trail concept and asked the committee to consider adopting the idea as an agenda item.

Non-Motorized Facilities Citizen Advisory Committee Meeting Minutes

Date/Time: 09/20/2016, 7:00 p.m. Location: Eagles Nest, 1195 NW Fairgrounds Rd, Bremerton, WA Members Present: David Brumsickle, Melissa Laird (recording), Bert Cole, Paul Dutky, Ray Pardo, John Willett County Staff Present: David Forte, Stephen Starling Public Comment: None Approval of Minutes: Ray Pardo motioned to approve the June minutes and Melissa Laird seconded. The motion passed unanimously. Strategic Implementation Strategy: The Committee discussed the strategic implementation strategy, which will guide the work plan for the next year. Concerns brought up include: there is no overarching coordinated program with associated budget, there is no measure of success identified in the strategy, and does the NMCAC have a role in being the coordinating committee for the County in terms of the Kitsap County Non-Motorized Plan. Discussion was had regarding the scope of the process and determining how to accomplish reviewing the items listed within the outline created for the strategic implementation strategy.

Melissa and David will coordinate with David Forte to set discussion expectations for the next meeting and will also submit an edited Strategic Implementation Strategy that incorporates additions and changes brought about by the concerns at the beginning of the discussion. Committee & Staff Reports: The Whitehorse Trail has had opposition from the stewardship committee about including a paved trail and further discussions need to be had which will need to include the County Commissioner. Jarstad Park talks continue with Ueland. There are a couple of possible trails and the most likely will not be along the land. The consultants are working to vet the potential path, which will be on both Bremerton and County lands. The Meeting adjourned at 8:23 p.m.

Date/Time: 10/18/2016, 7:00 p.m. Location: Eagles Nest, 1195 NW Fairgrounds Rd, Bremerton, WA Members Present: David Brumsickle, Melissa Laird (recording), Paul Dutky, Ahmis Loving, Ray Pardo, Nancy Whitaker, John Willett County Staff Present: David Forte, Marc Lewis-DeGrace, Stephen Starling Public Comment: None Strategic Implementation Strategy: North Kitsap: Overview of NKTA trail routes with a suggestion that STO through Heritage Park in Port Gamble stays on the flat. NE Totten Road may not be a preferred route due to the elevation gain/loss. A preferred route may be to ride on 305 to Miller Bay Road. South Kitsap: Design standards needs to follow what we are measuring in order to assess progress. Current breakout of standards don’t allow for thorough measurements of facilities. Shared roads may be marked as routes but may not be considered a safe route. The preferred north-south route would be Bethel-Burley, with Olalla Valley Road as a secondary, more scenic route. Central Kitsap: To be presented next time. The meeting focused on connecting parks as opposed to focusing on a north-south route.

East Bremerton Shared Use Path: North South trail connecting McWilliams Park & Ride with the downtown Bremerton Ferry Terminal. Many stakeholders have expressed support, with Mayor Patty Lent requesting assistance of the NMCAC. The route seems like a great connector from the downtown core to McWilliams. The Committee will discuss further action at the next meeting. Committee & Staff Reports: None The Meeting adjourned at 8:39 p.m.
