1999 Capital Facilities Plan
INTRODUCTION
The 1999 update of the Capital Facilities Plan continues to build on the prior updates. For this iteration,
the City Council has decided to de-emphasize the twenty year planning horizon used in the 1998 update
and instead concentrate on improving the material in the six year plan. The result is that projects
· anticipated to be worked on after the six-year planning horizon are shown in a single column described
as "After 2004" rather than in separate five-year categories. This choice matches reality in that at
present the City really has little idea when after the year 2004 these projects will actually be constructed.
As mentioned in the prior paragraph, the efforts of the City to plan capital facilities using a 20 year time
horizon are, as yet, somewhat uneven. As is the case with most long-range planning, we have a much
better vision of the near-term than of the far. Further, the different agencies included in the Plan have
not used a consistent planning horizon. The City has shown projects to be done for the full twenty years
but has not paid much attention to those past the six-year horizon of the Financial Capacity Analysis.
Schools have not attempted to plan beyond six years. Fire planned for a ten year period; while Parks
planned very well through 2008, but not beyond.
This concentration on the six-year plan involves, for the first time, the inclusion of the details of the
major capital projects of the City and also an improved Financial Capacity Analysis. The City and the
special districts, Schools, Parks, and Fire, continue to work together to integrate their capital planning
efforts to provide a more even tax impact and to prioritize their projects while still providing quality
facilities and services for the citizens they serve. This is consistent with Goal 6 of the Framework of
the Comprehensive Plan (pg. 51 of the Land Use Element): All government entities strive to cooperate
and serve their constituents in a fiscally sound manner; and Policy CFI. I0 (pg. 9) of the Capital Facilities
Element: The City shall coordinate with other public entities which provide public services within the
City to ensure that the Capital Facilities Plans of each of these entities are consistent with the City's
Comprehensive Plan.
This Element and the 1999 Plan update have been developed in accordance with the RCW 36.70A,
the Growth Management Act (GMA), and WAC 365-195, the Procedural Criteria. It begins with a
short review of some of the concepts behind the Capital Facilities Plan and the Capital Facilities Element
of the Comprehensive Plan.
What is a Capital Facility?
Capital facilities are those public facilities, including utilities, that are necessary for a government to
carry out its functions to provide services to its citizens. Examples are roads, public buildings, schools,
parks, water and sewer systems, fire protection, police protection, and libraries. Often the entire
collection of these facilities is referred to as infrastructure.
NOTE: Projects showing a priority of "N" have not been prioritized. Utility projects showing a priority
of "T" have the same relative priority as shown in the section on Transportation.
As Approved by the City Council on May 12, 1999 1
There are several categories of capital expenditures proposed in this plan. A key distinction is whether
new or expanded facilities will serve existing residents or new growth. Expenditures may also be
proposed to maintain or repair existing capital facilities (cure deficiencies). The categories are as
follows and will be used to identify specific projects proposed in the six-year plan:
(M) Major maintenance, repair, renovation, or replacement of an existing facility.
Many of the road projects are in this category.
CE) New facilities or improvements to existing facilities that provide added capacity to
serve the existing population.
(N) New facilities or improvements to existing facilities that are built primarily to
provide added capacity to serve new population or employment ~owth.
(C) New facilities or improvements to existing facilities that correct an existing
problem and are oversized to provide added capacity to serve population ~owth.
Levels of Service (!,0S)
Levels of Service (LOS) are usually quantifiable measures of the amount and/or quality of public facilities
or services that are provided to the community and are usually expressed as a ratio of amount of service
to a selected demand unit. For example, sewer LOS is expresssed as 100 gallon per capita per day,
public school LOS may be expressed as the number of square feet available per student or as the number
students per classroom. Police or Fire protection may be expressed as the average response time for
emergency calls. Parks LOS is often expressed as the number of acres of park per 1,000 population.
Once the level of service is decided upon it can then be determined what capital improvements are
necessary to 1) cure any existing deficiencies, and 2) maintain that level as the community grows.
The Capital Facilities Financing Plan
The GMA requires that the Capital Facilities Element contain a financing plan that identifies the type
and location of expanded or new capital facilities and the sources of funding that will used to pay for
them. There are two questions that must be satisfactorily answered:
1) What is the quantity of the public facilities that will be required during the six years?
(identified in the inventory and needs analysis);
2) Is it financially feasible to provide the quantity of facilities that are required?
(do we now, or will we, have the money to pay for them?)
Dependable revenue sources must be identified that equal or exceed the anticipated costs. If the costs
exceed the revenue, the local government must reduce its level of service, or otherwise reduce costs;
or else modify the land use element to bring future development into balance with available or
affordable facilities and services. This plan will examine each type of facility separately. The costs of
all the facilities will then be added together in order to determine the financial feasibility of the plan. In
a number of cases, projects are intended to be paid for largely from State and Federal grants or
low-interest loans. Those projects have been identified with a "G".
As Approved by the City Council on May 12, 1999 2
The Capital Facilities Plan is intended to be a planning document. It, therefore, does not contain the
level of detail that the annual budget must contain. Some costs in the plan are estimated in order to
give citizens a general idea of how much certain types of projects or facilities may cost.
Capital Facilities Planning
This Capital Facilities Plan is the product of many separate but coordinated planning documents and
planning bodies. Each of the special districts (schools, fire, parks, etc.) has its own capital plan. The
City has a Water System Plan, a Sewer System Plan, a Winslow Drainage System Plan and a
Pavement Management System Plan. Each capital facility may have several sources of funding that
include combinations of federal and state grant money, loans and general revenues (tax dollars). In
addition, there are several subarea and neighborhood plans in progress, including the Island Center
and Lynwood Center Special Planning Areas, and the Winslow Master Plan (now being implemented)
each with its own capital requirements. Most facilities must be planned for years in advance and
planning means determining not only when a facility will be needed but how it will be financed. For
facilities that are projected for five to seven years in the future, capital costs are more estimates than
actual. As the time for construction nears, actual costs are narrowed as design and engineering are
completed. It is important to remember that Capital Facilities planning is not a once a year or once
every two years effort, but an ongoing process requiring continual review as new information
becomes available, conditions change, and priorities evolve.
City of Bainbridge Island
The following is the City's 1999 Capital Facilities Plan. The Plan is organized by project category and
each category includes: 1) a current inventory of facilities; 2) a narrative providing a general background
of the planning activities and some discussion of future plans; 3) a discussion of level of service (LOS), if
applicable; and 4) a six-year project financing plan which identifies projects and funding sources for
that section. A listing of known needs (sometimes without cost estimates) beyond the six-year period
follows. The timing of projects beyond the six-years horizon is also very nebulous.
Other Comprehensive Plan policies that are implemented or furthered by this Capital Facilities Plan
are the following:
CF 1.2: The City shall prioritize the allocation of resources to meet its capital needs in the following
order: 1) major maintenance of existing facilities; 2) elimination of existing deficiencies; and, 3) provision
of new or expanded facilities to accommodate new growth.
CF 1.6: Funding of major capital facilities shall typically rely on long-term financing and not current
revenues. The term of financing should generally be no longer than the useful life of the facility.
CF 1.8: The City may apply various, alternative, funding mechanisms in the development of capital
improvements identified in the Capital Facilities Element in order to optimally use limited City
resources. Such mechanisms include joint ventures with the private sector, grants, or other means.
CF 1.12: Funding for the City's water and sewer facilities shall be paid for primarily by users, except in
unusual circumstances where the public benefit may justify the use of general funds. Drainage improve-
ments and facilities shall funded by the City Stormwater utility which, as an Island-wide utility, may be
supplemented by general revenue. When utility improvements, provide benefits primarily to a limited
group of users the costs will generally be paid by the benefited parties through Local Improvement
Districts (L.I.D.s) or other means.

City Administration
City Offices
Employees and offices of the City are located at several sites because of space constraints at the Winslow
City Hall location. City staff has grown to 103 full time employees and six part time employees as of
December, 1998, an increase of seven full-time employees since the last update. There are 82 employees
located in various office locations around the Island and 27 located at the new Public Works facility on
Hidden Cove Road.

City Hall
In 1997, the City Council selected a site for City Hall on property in the vicimty of the Bainbridge
Performing Arts building, northeast of the intersection of Winslow Way and Madison Ave. In addition
to property on the site already owned by the City, four additional parcels were identified for acquisition
to assemble a site sufficient for the long range needs of a City Hall, a "Town Square", and parking. Three
of those parcels have been purchased and the fourth is in the process of condemnation. Construction of
the new City Hall is underway and is expected to be completed in late 1999. This decision implements
Policy W 1.6 of the Land Use Element (pg. 56) of the Comprehensive Plan: "The permanent location
of City hall should be in downtown Winslow."
Public Works Operations and Maintenance Facility
In late 1998, the Public Works Yard was relocated from the 5-acre John Nelson Park site just north
of Winslow Way on the east side of SR305 to a new, 12.6 acre site at Hidden Cove Road and SR305.
Phase II of the construction of the new Public Works Facility at Hidden Cove has been deferred until
after 2004.
Police & Court
The Plan calls for the existing City Hall building to be remodeled for use by Police and the Municipal
Court for a seven to ten year period and land to be acquired to construct a future facility for them.
Open Space / Agricultural Land Acquisition
In late 1998, the City Council voted to encumber the City with $500,000 in LTGO debt for the purpose
of acquiring open space and/or agricultural land and development rights. The policies governing acquisition
have not yet been determined; but the intent is to support the goals for Agricultural Lands in the Land Use
Element.

Most of the parks and trails on Bainbridge Island are owned and run by the Bainbridge Island Park and
Recreation District. However, the City has a few which it owns but which are generally maintained
(with the exception of Waterfront Park) by the Park District under contract to the City. In 1997, the City
developed a plan for the expansion of the facilities at Waterfront Park. This plan is expected to be
implemented in stages over the next eight to ten years.

Transportation Facilities (Roads, Bike Lanes, Sidewalks, Trails)
Of the five types of capital facilities that are constructed, operated and maintained by the City, the most
costly and most familiar to citizens are the transportation facilities. Where there are facility needs that
involve SR305 or the ferries, the Washington State Department of Transportation assumes the costs.
Kitsap Transit pays for facilities that support transit service. The citizens do pay indirectly for these
services through gasoline taxes and sales taxes.
The transportation system outside of historic Winslow has suffered from "deferred maintenance". The
Pavement Management System (PMS) study conducted for the City in 1992/1995 indicated the wearing
surface of many of the roads to be at or near failure, especially the smaller suburban roads. Since
many of the Island's roads were initially only scraped and then a thin layer of asphalt applied, the
maintenance performed by the City is usually more extensive, and costly, than normal maintenance of
"paved" roads. Many roads, having no substantial base before placing asphalt, need considerable base
preparation. The PMS study indicated a need for $600,000 per year for 10-12 years in the ROADS
maintenance Program to maintain the roads at the then current status; but that study assumed a
normal road base. The City has attempted to "reconstruct" the roads, rather than just "maintain" the
wearing surface, and while it is more time consuming and more costly (initially), the life-cycle costs will
be less, and the citizens will have better roads to travel over. Because the $600,000 annual amount
has proved inadequate to cover the more extensive "reconstruction" as well as normal repaying,
beginning in 1998 the Council increased the annual amount for repaving to $1,000,000. Also, in 1998 the
City began a program of using a "chip-seal" process which has allowed many more lane miles to be
recovered for the same cost as traditional asphalt overlays. Chip-sealing the roads to halt their deterior-
ation is intended to buy the City time to accomplish the needed, and expensive, reconstruction before the
failure of more of the Island's roads
The Public Works Department has been aggressive in obtaining grants and low interest loans to address
many of the City's transportation improvement needs including the SR 305/Sportsman Club/Wardwell
intersection improvements, the Ferncliff Avenue reconstruction, the Winslow Way East reconstruction
project, High School Road reconstruction, and the lower Madison/Brien/Bjune project.
Although not called for in the Comprehensive Plan, a draft Island-wide Transportation System Plan has
been prepared and is out for initial public comment. At this point, acceptance of that proposed plan
by the citizens and approval by the City Council is obviously uncertain.
A complete discussion of transportation facilities and a detailed description of levels of service
and proposed improvements can be found in the Transportation Element.
Other Comprehensive Plan Goals and Policies that are implemented or furthered by the following
transportation projects:
TR 3.4: The transportation system infrastructure should be maintained in a safe and usable condition.
TR 3.10: Provide safe bicycle travel along roadways identified in the Bike Access Plan in Winslow,
along designated school routes, and where needed for safety reasons.
As Approved by the City Council on May 12, 1999 7
TR 3.11: Sidewalks shall be required in Winslow, along designated school routes, in areas where
sidewalks have been historically located ( e.g., Fort Ward), and where needed for safety reasons.
TR 4.21: Undertake spot improvement projects. Safety improvements could include: Reconstruction
of key traffic bottlenecks and unsafe road segments; elimination of poor sight distances.
TR 5.3: Aggressively seek available county, state, and federal money to: 1) pay for (or at least mitigate)
the effects of county, state, and federal mandates; 2) fund appropriate demonstration projects; 3) fund
improvement projects which meet the overall Island transportation objectives.
TR 5.4: Ensure that the Island's transportation system is planned in advance to have revenue sources
sufficient to build and maintain it.

Winalow Nlanter Plan and Tinting of Projects
In 1998, the City Council approved the Winslow Master Plan. That plan included the identification of
many projects intended to attract growth to Winslow in order to meet the concentration targets of the
Comprehensive Plan. While the need to complete these projects has been established, their timing and
method of funding have not. For example, the Winslow Master Plan calls for many of the projects to be
funded by developer contributions. As a result, the timing of these projects depends on the timing of the
As Approved by the City Council on May 12, 1999 8
related development. To accommodate this timing uncertainty, many of the Winslow Master Plan
projects have been shown as occurring after 2004. This is when the City can afford to build the projects
if they are to be funded by taxes; however, the hope and intent is that they would be completed sooner
with the help of the developers. A good example of this is the upgrading of the water main on Madison
Avenue which has been completed five to ten years earlier than otherwise with the help of major
contributions from The Pavilion Theater and Unicare/Island Healthcare Center.
This is the first "blending" of the Winslow Master Plan projects with earlier, out-of-Winslow projects.

Water
Domestic drinking water is supplied by the City of Bainbridge Island, North Bainbridge Water
Company, South Bainbridge Water Company, numerous smaller public water systems (2 or more
hook-ups), and over 1,000 private single-dwelling wells. The following information was obtained from
the Water Element of this Comprehensive Plan and from the Bainbridge Island Water System Plan
prepared for the Winslow Water System by R.W. Beck and Associates in 1993. An updated plan is
now in preparation, but has not yet been presented for public comment.
Level of Service: The levels of service proposed in the Water Element for water systems on
Bainbridge Island are the minimum design standards and performance specifications provided in
the 1992 Kitsap County Coordinated Water System Plan. They are as follows:
Levels of Service for Water
Pressure 30 psi residual
Pipe sizing 8" diameter min. (where fire system is required)
Storage "Sizing Guidelines for Public Water Systems"
Quality Federal and State minimum standards
Inventory: The Bremerton-Kitsap County Health District records indicate approximately 170 water
systems on the Island that have 2 or more households connected. The number of Group A & B
systems are listed below. Following that is a summary of systems with more than 100 connections:
Group A systems: 15 or more connections 44
Group B systems: Under 15 connections 124
Systems with Over 100 Connections
Capacity Capacity Storage
System # Connections (ERU) (MGD) Volumes (gal.)
Meadowmeer 212 398 0.53 235,000
North Bainbridge 1,178 1,364 0.86 480,000
South Bainbridge 732 1,027 0.90 562,000
Win~qlow 1,661 4,000 1.00 2,910,000
Total 3,783 6,789 3.29 4,187,000
Most existing water systems were established under state and local guidelines and for the most part
provide high quality water at an adequate pressure and flow rate for residential use. However, because
of the number of systems on the Island, it must be concluded that there are systems that may not be in
compliance with Department of Health water quality requirements and may not meet minimum
requirements of pressure and reliability. It is also concluded that most of the smaller systems have
poor or nonexistent fire protection designed into their systems due to the cost of providing large
diameter pipes and storage tanks.
As Approved by the City Council on May 12, 1999 11
As part of an interlocal agreement between the City and the Kitsap County PUD #1, the City is now
developing an all-Island water system inventory (with the PUD funding the project) which will form the
basis of a Water Comprehensive Plan. This plan is still in preparation and in its second year of work,
although work on other segments of the plan is either complete or near completion.
Winslow Water System
The Winslow Water System is owned and operated by the City of Bainbridge Island under the
direction and control of the Department of Public Works. It serves an area similar to the historic
Winslow city limits plus Fletcher Bay and Rockaway Beach. The system gets all of its water from the
eleven wells owned by the City. Water is pumped into the distribution system both directly from the
well pumps and by booster pump stations. The system has four storage reservoirs.

*Not a potable source - used for construction
It has been determined that the Winslow Water System capacity is adequate to serve the needs of
the potential build-out population under existing zoning and build-out to the highest density possible (to
R-28) in the Land Use Element. The available sources are adequate to serve a potential population of
approximately 7,900 or approximately 4,000 units. The system currently serves a population of 3,500
and approximately 3,000 residential equivalent units. There are, however, upgrades necessary to
provide adequate fireflow in most areas, which have been identified in the Bainbridge Island Water
System Plan, by R. W. Beck and the update to this plan done in July, 1995. The two most significant
upgrades needed for fire flow are two large storage tanks. Other improvements include increasing the
size of several of the City's water mains, which will be accomplished as major streets are repaved.
The City has just completed the connection to City water of 33 homes previously served by the
Commodore Lane Water System, which had been condemned by the State Department of Health.
Other Water Services Provided by the City
In addition to the Winslow Water System, the City has acquired a water system providing water to
As Approved by the City Council on May 12, 1999 12
some 65 residences at Rockaway Beach. As part of the acquisition, the City replaced a private system
which had the distinction of having the only public water system in the nation with a well in the middle of
a Superfund site as its sole source of water. A replacement system was provided by the City in 1995
with funding from a local improvement district and grants from the US Environmental Protection
Agency and the Washington State Department of Ecology. In addition, the City manages approximately
40 "satellite" private water systems under contracts with the purveyors in which the City provides
services including well testing. As private water systems on Bainbridge Island fail or become unmanage-
able, it is likely that the City will be required acquire them and assume the responsibility of providing
drinking wate to their customers. At present, no such emergency situations are known.
Under state law revenues cannot significantly exceed the cost to provide service but must not be less
than that cost. New hook-ups are charged according to the cost to connect plus a system "participation
fee" to purchase a share of the capital cost of the system. A restructuring of these participation fees
was completed in late 1997 so that the charges would match the demand placed on the system by new
connection.
Comprehensive Plan policies that are implemented or furthered by the following water projects
are:
WR 2.2: The City shall be responsible for facilitating reliable, high-quality water services and
resources Island-wide. The City shall work with other governmental agencies, water purveyors,
and citizens to preserve and protect the water resources of Bainbridge Island. The City shall
assist citizens and water system purveyors to obtain reliable, high quality water service.
WR 2.4: The construction of new water systems and the upgrading of or connection to existing
systems shall be paid for through user fees, ' Local Utility Districts (LUDs), or other mechanisms
that ensure that the cost is paid for by the service recipients.
WR 2.5: Engineering specifications of new public water systems and expansions or improvements
to existing public water systems shall meet City or other regulatory standards.
CF 1.2: The City shall prioritize the allocation of resources to meet its capital needs in the
following order: 1) major maintenance of existing facilities; 2) elimination of existing deficiencies;
and, 3) provision of new or expanded facilities to accommodate new growth.

Sanitary Sewage Disposal
The City of Bainbridge Island provides for the collection, treatment, and disposal of effluent in the
Winslow service area. The Kitsap County Sewer District g7 treatment plant north of Fort Ward Park
serving customers within the District's service area at the south end of the Island was completed in
1997. That system was extended in 1998 to allow connection by the Lynwood Center area, where
sewage disposal has been deemed inadequate by the Bremerton-Kitsap County Health District. Details
of the Sewer District No. 7 system can be found in the Water Element. More detailed information
Water Element. More detailed information on the Island's wastewater facilities may be found in the
Wastewater Facility Improvement Plan, February, 1994, by Brown and Caldwell Consultants.
All other residents not within the service areas of either of the above districts rely on on-site septic
systems that require approval from the Bremerton-Kitsap County Health District.
Level of Service: Levels of service for wastewater treatment systems are typically expressed as the
number of gallons of flow per capita per day and the level of treatment provided by the treatment
plant. The current and proposed level of service for the Winslow service area follow the Department
of Ecology guidelines of 100 gallons per capita per day (flow) and secondary treatment.
In areas not served by treatment plants, on-site systems will be built to Bremerton-Kitsap County
Health District standards that consider combinations of lot size, soil type, infiltration capacity, depth to
hardpan, and proximity to surface water among others.
Inventory of Winslow Sewerage Facilities: The Winslow sanitary sewer system consists of two
separate parts: the collection system, and the treatment plant.
Collection system: 5.12 miles gravity sewer with pipes 8" to 16" in diameter
2.69 miles of force with pipes 4" to 12" in diameter
11 pumping stations with 100-2,300 gpm pumping capacity
Treatment plant: Secondary treatment facility located on Donald Place NE
just east of the ferry terminal.
The existing collection system capacity has been judged to be adequate through the year 2010 with
periodic upgrades in pumping facilities, although the City like other sewage utility providers experiences
seasonal inflow and infiltration problems. In 1997 with the acquisition of a television camera to check
sewer lines, the City began an effort to locate points of inflow. The City plans to begin to correct inflow
problems over the next two years. The existing treatment plant was designed to accommodate an
effective population of 10,000 and now serves a population equivalent to 5,500 (with conversion of
multi-family and commercial customers to single-family residential equivalents). An upgrade was
completed in January, 1996, at a cost of $2.5 million and now serves as model for other wastewater
agencies. The City has added emergency generators to the system and installed telemetry to
significantly reduce personnel demands. Where possible, pump stations have been taken out of service
to further reduce system costs.
As Approved by the City Council on May 12, 1999 15
The sewer system plan was updated in July, 1995 by R. W. Beck and Associates, and the system
(plant and delivery system) was found to have adequate capacity for the projected growth for
Winslow well past 2012. A system plan update is projected for the year 2000. Other capital
projects may be indicated following an inflow/infiltration analysis to be done at the request of the
Department of Ecology.

Storm & Surface Water Management
In the Winslow urban area stormwater is managed by a combination of piped collectors, roadside
ditches and natural stream channels and is well-defined in the City of Winslow Storm Water
Drainage Plan, 1985. All other watersheds and sub-basins on the Island are drained by natural
streams and roadside ditches only.
The existing natural drainage system consists of wetlands, streams, springs, ditches, and culverts
crossing the roadways and is labor intensive to maintain. The natural drainage system does
currently remove stormwater, but not without signs of distress from erosion, siltation, and water
quality degradation. The drainage system is closely related to road maintenance issues. Due to
the somewhat incomplete or obstructed nature of the natural drainage system, there are many wet
areas that are causing localized problems that result in flooding of private property and roadways
failing. Some areas, because of the manner in which they were developed are candidates for
Local Improvement Districts to handle or improve drainage systems.
A review of the City of Winslow Storm Water Drainage Plan, 1985, identified several necessary
drainage projects for the area, for example, the Lower Weaver Ouffall Project which was completed
in 1996. The Fletcher Bay culvert repair project was also completed in 1996 and is designed to
enhance salmon spawning in the stream. Under an interlocal agreement with the Kitsap County
P.U.D. No. 1, the City has begun a comprehensive update of the 1985 plan to include the entire Island
and to consider water quality as well as quantity. This plan includes four elements: (1) aerial
photography and mapping (which is complete), (2) the storm water drainage plan, which is near
completion, (3) a water plan (mentioned on pages 11 and 12, and (4) a drainage basin assessment.
The completion of this plan will form the first comprehensive storm water drainage plan of Bainbridge
Island.

CITY OF BAINBRIDGE ISLAND
SIX-YEAR FINANCING PLAN
The capital facilities and services discussed in the previous pages are the responsibility of the City to
provide~ The City's Capital Facilities financing plan is presented here, showing all sources of funding
and compiling all of the City's anticipated capital projects (except utilities). Funding sources are
displayed so that debt service on any proposed bonds is accounted for as though they were operating
costs. Facilities and services discussed on the following pages are those of districts or entities that are
separate from the City and have specific funding sources of their own. As the relevant pages show,
some districts have done a greater degree of revenue projections that others.
The City's Financing Plan calls for full funding of the $1 million per year in ROADS resurfacing in
addition to a lengthy list of specific road projects. In December, 1998, the City issued $9,900,000 in
LTGO bonds ($8.6 million in net new proceeds) to pay for the construction of City Hall and to provide
approximately $2.5 million in funding for major road projects and open space/agricultural land purchase.
The Financing Plan calls for an additional $5 million in LTGO bonds to be issued at the end of 1999 or
early in the year 2000 to fund many of the remaining more-pressing transportation projects. The City
will continue to seek grants to fund capital projects. Work on several listed projects is conditioned upon
receiving grants, with the projects to be deferred if the grants are not received.
Winslow Master Plan _tWMP)
A Winslow Master Plan was developed under the integrated GMA/SEPA process and
includes an Environmental Impact Statement. As a result, further EIS's do not need to be sought for
projects described in the WMP. That plan, approved by the City Council in May, 1998, calls for major
infrastructure upgrades in Winslow to serve as a magnet for development. Because a separate
Financial Capacity Analysis was not conducted in conjunction with the WMP, funding for several of
the WMP projects is not available from identified sources within the six year planning horizon. As a
result, completion of some of the projects shown in the WMP has been deferred beyond the six-year
horizon (unless developer contributions are available) and this update consequently amends the WMP.

The following tables are based on a set of economic forecast assumptions that include: a 0.9% - 2.5
inflation rate based on the Gross Domestic Price Deflator Index; above average increases in real
property assessed valuation due to a robust market plus new construction; straight-line population
increases based on 7,430 additional residents from 1992 to 2012. A more detailed financial capacity
analysis of the City can be found in an Appendix to this document. Financing for utilities (drinking
water, sanitary sewer, storm and surface water management) is shown separately with each utility
segment (e.g. drinking water) and is excluded from the following table. Lists of the more important
economic and financial assumptions are attached to the Capital Facilities Analysis.

B.I. PARK & RECREATION DISTRICT
The Bainbridge Island Park & Recreation District provides park and recreation programs to Island
residents. Established in 1965, the District provides services and recreational opportunities to youth,
adults, families, seniors, as well as our challenged populations. Examples of programs offered include
aquatics, adult exercise, martial arts, gymnastics, soccer, and cultural programs. Additionally, the
District provides staffing for the Senior Center and Teen Center. The District's programs are mailed
through the brochure to all island households four times a year. Examples of events sponsored by the
District include bike and day hikes, Ski School, Spring Arts & Music Festival, Wednesday Concerts
in the Park, and youth baseball, soccer and basketball camps, as well as volunteer and mentoring
opportunities.
The District also strives to assist community efforts to acquire open space, trails and aquatic opportunities.
In the District's early years, negotiation with the federal government provided transfer of Battle Point,
Eagledale and Strawberry Hill parks through the federal surplus lands program. Apart from two small
state parks, Fort Ward and Fay Bainbridge, other system parks have been acquired through citizen
levies, dedications and grants. Waterfront Park, a City Park, is a destination facility for the District's
sailing program.
In 1998 the District won grant funding through the IAC to assist local efforts to acquire the head of the
bay at Blakely Harbor for cartop water access and a passive park. In 1999, the District won an ALEA
grant from the Department of Natural Resources for this same purchase. Private fund-raising, site
planning, and creek restoration efforts will occur through 1999 for this purchase. Area trails are sought
in conjunction with other private and foundation development projects not pending at the South End.
Other pending developments include the addition of play fields at Hidden Cove Park and at Sands Road.
Construction is scheduled to begin later in 1999. These fields are tied to Level of Service Standards and
population growth. The addition of a new pool adjacent to the current Ray Williamson Pool will occur as
a result of a successful bond levy in February, 1999. This is consistent with concurrency and growth
management issues. Planning will begin in 1999 and construction should follow in 2000 for the new pool.
Stewardship will continue at Gazzam in site restoration activities, trail and viewpoint development. The
southern twenty-four acre portion of this site is planned for ballfield development and an interpretive
center contingent on project review.
In terms of volunteer efforts, the District continues to offer opportunities for outreach. The Island Trails
Committee works to maintain connections within parks and to major linkages such as schools and other
facilities. The Trails Committee also works to develop the cross Island trail. The Stewardship Program
was established to assist in the development of an interpretive center at Gazzam and in restoration efforts
at Gazzam including the ridding of invasive species of plants.
As Approved by the City Council on May 12, 1999 23
The District has an elected board of five volunteer commissioners and maintains a staff of nineteen
full time employees. Funding for operations is by citizen's levy authorized under RCW 36.69.
Voter approval is required for any major capital projects. Projects are included in this plan to aid
community-wide planning and to provide for grant funding eligibility. The projects and financial data
provided here reflect the 1997 update to the Park District's Capital Facilities Plan prepared in late 1997.
An update since that date has not yet been prepared.
Level of Service: (Existing = 57.2 acres of park per 1,000 residents)
The District has identified a variety of service levels for different types of parks and park facilities.
Those levels of service are as follows:

B.I. SCHOOL DISTRICT No. 303
Bainbridge Island School District #303 offers kindergarten through 12th grade (K-12) education to
Island students. School facilities are principally funded through voter-approved long-term bonds,
interest on bond proceeds, state matching money and impact fees. School impact fees, collected and
held by the City of Bainbridge Island since 1992, have funded approximately $3 million in construction
of additional space in the high school and Sakai Intermediate School. Special levies can fund specific
capital improvements, such as technology and can purchase school buses. School District operating
costs are principally funded through a state apportionment formula and local tax levies.
Wilkes Elementary and Blakely Elementary are located in the north and south sections of the Island.
Ordway Elementary, Bainbridge High and Commodore Center are located on the district's main campus,
campus, a 75-acre site at Madison Ave. NE and NE High School Road. The campus includes district
administration buildings, maintenance and shop facilities, the transportation center, and a nature study
area. The main campus also encompasses land leased to other agencies for a swimming pool, a teen
center and a daycare facility. Woodward Middle School and the site of the new Sakai Intermediate
School are located at Sportsman Club Road and New Brooklyn, less than a half-mile northwest of the
main campus
LEVEL OF SERVICE: School District LOS considers two criteria: 1) space capacity or the actual
physical space available to house students; and 2) program capacity, which is a complex calculation
involving the personnel and facilities needed to provide the desired classes and activities. The desired
student-to-teacher ratios are:
Student/Teacher Ratio
Grades K through 2: 22 students per teacher
Grade 3: 23 students per teacher
Grades 4 through 5: 27 students per teacher
Grades 6 through 8: 29 students per teacher
Grades 9 through 12 29 students per teacher
RECENT EVENTS. One goal of the district' s strategic plan is to partner more with the entire commun-
ity for educational purposes. To this end the district has, or recently had, agreements with a consortium
of community service agencies, led by Bainbridge Youth Services, to lease part of Commodore Center;
with the City for water provision; with the Park District for additional sports fields and transfer of the
former alternative high school building; with the Teachers' Association for office space; with the Fire
Department for a transmission tower site; and with the Library District for interim space during
library construction. Proceeds from a technology levy approved in February, 1996, and collected in
1997 and 1998 are improving computer access for students at all levels and for community members.
A $26.8 million bond authorization was approved by the voters in February, 1997. Along with interest
and school impact fees, these bonds will fund expansion and improvements at the high school, and
construction of Sakai Intermediate School (grades 5 and 6) on District-owned property adjoining
Woodward Middle School at Sportsman Club Road, and compliance with federal regulations regarding

FOR THE FUTURE. Page 1 of the School District's Capital Facilities Plan indicates its
is to aid planning to:
Extend the useful life of existing facilities,
Enhance educational opportunities in program and technology,
Improve the learning environment by improving major systems,
Provide classrooms for all students, and
Acquire enough land to site future facilities.
These are still the significant areas to be considered when planning. As the twenty-first century
approaches, the following trends and conditions are expected:
1. A continued growing enrollment. Continued high expectations for the Island's children and
their schools.
2. Continued rapid technological change.
3. Educational reform affecting the spaces needed to deliver program in way that cannot be
foreseen.
4. New funds being insufficient to support the desired pace of educational reform, so the
pressure to defer maintenance will continue.
5. Increased concern about buildings and health, requiring updates in materials and systems.
6. Continued need for social and recreational facilities, to be met in part by school facilities.
7. Continued cooperation among Island agencies to meet the needs of children from birth
through high school.
8. Continued dependence on voter-approved bonds to fund the bulk of district capital
improvements.
Even if bond approval requirements (currently 60%) are reduced, the district will still need to obtain
wide popular support to fund its needed capital improvements. The District's history of using citizen
groups to direct its plans for facilities has worked well, and can be expected to continue in the furore.
This document includes those improvements foreseeable now, but all of the interest areas and trends
will need to be continually monitored and this plan updated frequently to respond to changing conditions.
Expenditures shown in the table on page 30 are based on discussions with all Bainbridge Island
governments and an in-depth review of enrollment forecasts and facility adequacy. The District
has no plans to pace an additional construction bond on the ballot prior to February, 2002.
OTHER CAPITAL ITEMS. The district's major capital assets include the buildings discussed above, a
district-wide computer network, and a vehicle fleet. The fleet currently contains 19 school buses, 4 of
which were built before 1977 and will soon need replacement; 5 special education buses; and 20 miscel-
laneous maintenance and motor pool vehicles. Additional buses may be necessary to handle ridership
growth and school start-time options currently under consideration for the 1999-2000 school year.
As Approved by the City Council on May 12, 1999 28
OPERATING COSTS: New buildings are primarily funded through long-term bonds, with contributions
from state sources, investment of bond proceeds, and impact fees. The actual educational operation of
the district, including maintenance of capital facilities, is primarily funded through state apportionment
(74%) and local tax levies (18%). Federal sources and local efforts each provide about four percent of
the operating budget. See Section 12 of the District's Capital Facilities Plan for further description of
school district funding. The state apportionment funding can be expected to grow in concert with
increased enrollment and inflation. No operating funds are expected to be available to support construc-
tion of capital improvements.

* Commodore Center, formerly a middle school, now houses overflow students from the high school, homeschool
support, alternative elementary and high school programs, some school district offices, and a variety of early childhood
and community services programs. It will accommodate overflow from the high school during construction (1998-99).
Some overflow students from the elementaries and the middle school could be accommodated here temporarily (1999-2000).
Long-term use is not feasible given the cost to renovate and to meet current code requirements. When short-term
uses are no longer advantageous, portions of Commodore Center have been identified for demolition.

Note: All amounts are $ in 000's and are in 1999 $ (that is, no adjustment has been made for inflation).
Note the absence of an indicated maintenance & operations levy and also of operating costs. This is
because the School District funds much of its operations from state apportionment and annual special
levies As a result, there is no operating surplus to fund capital improvements.
The Bainbridge Island School District advises that it has not formulated capital plans past the
year 2003, as so many of its needs are dependent on enrollment. Additionally, the projects listed have
not been prioritized because funding is available to complete them all.

B.I. FIRE DEPARTMENT
Each year the Bainbridge Island Fire Department (also known as Kitsap County Fire Protection District
No. 2) reviews and updates a Ten Year Plan for operating costs, emergency facilities and vehicles. The
Department takes into account four factors in setting its long range capital priorities: (1) following
through on prior year commitments; (2) insuring that facilities and vehicles are upgraded or replaced to
achieve a five minute response time goal; (3) supporting a community-based emergency services
operation that is mostly staffed by volunteers; and (4) emphasizing fire protection and prevention
strategies which reduce the need for expensive facilities and vehicles.
MAJOR ACCOMPLISItMENTS 1996-1998
In 1996, the Department built a new North Satellite Fire Station on Phelps Road. The new station is
helping the Department respond to fire and medical emergencies on the north end of Bainbridge Island
and serves as the Department's training facility, enhancing the ability of Department members to learn
and practice firefighting and life saving skills. The new facility also serves as an interim Emergency
Operations Center for both the Fire Department and the City during disasters.
In 1997, the Department installed a new emergency communications tower (shared with the Police
Department) on Mandus Olson Road in order to improve emergency radio coverage throughout the
Island. New emergency generators were installed at the Headquarters (Madison Avenue) and
South Satellite (Bucklin Hill Road) Stations so that all stations can operate during storms and disasters.
In 1998, the Fire Department completed a Master Site Plan for future facility improvements and
replaced its underground fuel facility with above-ground tanks (the underground tanks are to be
removed in 1999). Also, an aid unit was replaced and a new Pierce fire engine was acquired, giving
the Department a total of four pumper engines: one for each station and one serving as a backup.
ANTICIPATED SCHEDULE CHANGES AND FUTURE OUTLOOK
In 1999, the Department plans to build a housing unit for volunteer residents with four dorm-style
rooms at the Headquarters station (budgeted to be spread into 2000 in cash flow projections). Other
facility improvements include drainage improvements required by the resident housing and a minor
remodeling of the Administration area. Planned equipment purchases include two replacement vans,
and aid unit, and an engine and equipment for a 28 year old pumper.
Between 2000 and 2004, the Department plans to undertake a major remodel of the Headquarters
facility (Station No. 21) and replace three emergency vehicles. After conducting a needs assessment,
one new vehicle may be added to the fleet: a new multi-purpose ladder truck called a "Quint" in 2003
(estimated cost: $732,000).
After 2004, the Department plans to add fuel facilities and wash bays at both the North and South
Satellite stations and a new volunteer resident housing at the South Satellite station. After 2008, the
Department anticipates replacing the South Satellite station and building a new maintenance addition
as part of the project. Throughout the period, equipment will be replaced as needed.
As Approved by the City Council on May 12, 1999 31
LEVEL OF SERVICE
The Fire Department's mission is to save lives, protect property, and share responsibility for community
safety. The Department responds to fire and medical emergencies, rescue situations and disasters. It
also provides programs aimed at preventing fires and preparing both adults and children for emergencies.
The Department currently responds to about five emergency calls each day, with 75 % of the calls
involving medical aid and 25 % involving fires. The Department's goal is to respond within an average
of five minutes from the notice of a call to arrival at the scene. In 1998, the Department responded to
fire calls in an average of 4 minutes and 12 seconds, and medical aid calls in 4 minutes and 57 seconds.

SEWER DISTRICT No. 7
In August, 1996, Kitsap County Sewer District No. 7 completed construction of a sewage treatment
facility with a design capacity equivalent to 408 single-family residences (ERU' s), an outfall, and major
interceptor lines. Funding for the $3,500,000 cost of the facilities consisted of a Department of Ecology
grant for roughly 50 % of the cost and a Washington State Revolving Loan Fund loan for the remainder.
The loan is being repaid from assessments against the property owners served by the facility through
Local Improvement District #1. The Sewer District serves an area around Fort Ward including
approximately 350 parcels of land ranging in size from 6,000 sq.ft, to 20 acres. Presently, the District is
serving 76 customers and has another 25 who have prepaid LI.D. #1 charges in order to ensure
availability of service. More customers are signing up daily. The District does not have the capacity to
serve all the lots which could be created within its boundaries under existing zoning, although it has
sufficient capacity to serve all presently-existing lots within the District. Service availability is offered
on a "first come, first served" basis.
Roughly two years ago, the District committed to provide 80 ERU to property owners in and around
Lynwood Center. That agreement is now final and the Lynwood Center customers began connecting
to the sewer in August, 1998. The Lynwood Center customers were required to pay for the cost of
the sewer line to serve them plus a proportionate share of the general facilities cost (L.I.D. #1)
The Sewer District has determined to fund all future improvements through local improvement
districts. L.I.D. 's will only be established when homeowner petitions show a clear desire for
the connection. The following table lists the known or anticipated L.I.D.'s:

NOTE: The fund distribution for City projects in this documem is more refined than that shown
in the City's 1999 Appropriated Budget although the totals for each project and overall are in
agreement with the Budget. For example, the Vincent Road Reconstruction project (bud-
geted in the City's Capital Construction Fund) was thought of as a Streets (transportation)
project; however, it is shown in this documem as being only 95 % attributable to transportation
and the remaining 5 % attributable to drainage (Storm & Surface Water Management). It
is the City's intern to amend the 1999 Budget later in 1999 to reflect the actual distribution of
costs between the taxpayer-supported funds (Current Expense and Streets Funds) and its
Utility Fund.

The growth in Operating Costs will be held to an average of 4.0% per year after the year
2000 compared to a 4.8 % annual growth in actual costs over the past five years and a.
25.6% increase in operating costs budgeted for 1999 alone.
Capital Projects are as Shown in the CFP
Finance Costs Increase in 2000 to cover City Hall consolidated expenses while Planning
and Public Works costs are reduced to reflect absence of rent.
OTHER
Storm Water Utility receives sufficient transfers from Current Expense Fund to maintain nominal
positive working capital
$4 million in LTGO (road) bonds and $1 million in Water Revenue bonds issued in 2000
plus $2 million in LTGO (road) bonds issued in 2002
Winslow Way West moved built in 2001 if grants/PWTF loan available, otherwise deferred till
2003. LiD to pay balance of Cost of Winslow Way West (40% of total)
L.I.Ds to pay for drainage projects shown in 2005+ (possible City contribution not shown)
The Water and Sewer utilities are charged for a share of the Public Works Facility and the
new City Hall beginning in the year 2000.
The existing City Hall property will not be sold within the six year planning horizon.
The City's existing policy on cash reserves (undesignated balances equal to 3 months'
operating costs for water and sewer and 7.5% of annual operating costs for
tax-supported funds) serves as the basis for ending balances.
