1997 Capital Facilities Plan
INTRODUCTION
The 1997 update of the Capital Facilities Plan seeks to strengthen the link to the Comprehensive
Plan and at the same time to provide a more detailed accounting, in narrative and tabular form, of
how the citizens' tax dollars are spent. For the first time, the City and the special districts,
Schools, Parks, and Fire, are integrating their capital planning efforts to provide a more even tax
impact 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 should strive to cooperate and serve their constituents in a
fiscally sound manner; and Policy CF1.10 (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 Plan also differs from previous Capital Facilities Plans in that it is a seven-year, and not a
six-year, plan. Because the planning process and coordination effort can take six months or
more, there is a Comprehensive Plan Amendment being considered (adopted) along with the
adoption of this Plan, that will require a Capital Facilities Plan to be adopted every two years and
that the planning period be seven years.
This Plan has 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 or 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.
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 will be 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
1997 Capital Facilities Plan - January 13, 1997 1
of the road projects are in this category.
(E)
New facilities or improvements to existing facilities that provide added capacity to
serve the existing population. The sewage treatment plant upgrade qualifies in this
category.
(N) New facilities or improvements to existing facilities that provide added capacity to
serve new population or employment growth.
Levels of Service (LOS)
Levels of service are usually quanti~able 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, public school LOS may be expressed
as the number of square feet available per student or as the number of students per classroom.
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 by the seventh year?
(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.
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.
1997 Capital Facilities Plan - January 13, 1997 2
Capital Facility Planning
This Capital Facilities Plan is the product of many separate but coordinated planning documents
and planning bodies. Each of the special districts 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 Fort Ward
Plan, the Lynwood Center Special Planning Area, and the Winslow Master Plan 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.
Following is the 1997 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 plmming activities and some discussion of future plans; 3) a discussion of
level of service (LOS), if applicable, and; 4) a seven-year project financing plan which identifies
projects and funding sources for that section.
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 improvements 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 (LIDs) 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 94 full time employees and 8 part time
employees as of February, 1997, an increase one half-time employee since last period. There are
74 employees located in various office locations around the Island and 27 located at the Public
Works yard.

City Hall
The City Council has chosen a preferred site for City hall on property in the vicinity of the
Bainbridge Performance Arts building, noaheast 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. 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.
A selection process was conducted to appoint a committee that will choose the project architect
for the design of the City Hall building following up on a "program" for the building previously
developed separately by an architect. The design is expected to be completed during 1997 with
construction during 1998 and possibly 1999.

The City has purchased a site for the permanent location of the Public Works base of operations at the
southeast corner of SR305 and Hidden Cove Road. This will enable the vacation of this activity from the
John Nelson Park property. A contract was awarded to the Mithun partners to prepare development
plans for the use of the property. They were also asked to review all existing structures left from the
previous owner' s construction contracting business to determine what could be adapted for short an long
term use by the City. Based on these recommendations the City will issue bonds to begin construction of
the necessary facilities during 1997 and 1998. Completion of the initial phases of construction should be
by 1999. The Public Works operations and maintenance crews should be able to occupy the site and
work around most phases of construction once the core facilities have been completed in 1997.

1997 Capital Facilities Plan - January 13, 1997 6
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 'rural'
roads. The study uses 100 as a road having no deficiencies and 70 the point when maintenance
should be performed to cost-effectively extend the life of the roadway. Below 70, the cost
increases exponentially for the for the few extra years before complete reconstruction becomes
necessary. 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. (For example, in doing the culvert repair in
High School Road at Sportsman Club Road the summer of 1996, removal of the asphalt
indicated that there was no adequate base underneath.) 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. 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. Though the
Council has approved an annual $500,000 ROADS Maintenance Program, because the need to
correct serious roadbed deficiencies, the 10-12 year period is not a realistic goal.
In addition to the ROADS Maintenance Program, due to years of "deferred maintenance" before
the Island became a City, some of the major roads are in need of"reconstruction" before they
fail. The Council had a study performed on certain of these major roads in 1996 and developed a
cost estimate of approximately $5,000,000 for this work. Because of other bond issues, the City
Council has elected to defer this bond issue.
The Public Works Department has been extremely aggressive in obtaining grants and low
interest loans to address many of the City' s transportation improvement needs including the
bike/pedestrian shoulder along New Brooklyn from Madison Ave. to Miller Road; the SR
305/Sportsman Club intersection improvements; the Ferncliff Avenue reconstruction; the
Winslow Way East reconstruction project, and; the lower Madison/Brien/Bjune project.
Though not called for in the Comprehensive Plan, an Island-wide Transportation System Plan is
slated to be developed in the 1998 period.
1997 Capital Facilities Plan - January 13, 1997 7
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.
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.

1997 Capital Facilities Plan - January 13, 1997 8
It is anticipated that the work of the Winslow Master Plan Committee will not be finished when
this Capital Facilities Plan is adopted in December of 1996. Because the Winslow Master Plan is
a subarea plan, the Capital Facilities Plan will be amended to include the capital projects called
for when the Master Plan is adopted.
The following projects have been identified as work that need to be done. All of these will be
deferred until after the year 2003 unless grants are received to partially fund them (local matches
my be required). Unless an amount is no cost estimate is available at this time.

Drinking Water
Domestic drinking water is supplied by the City of Bainbridge Island, Noah 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 Bainbridge Island Water
System Plan prepared for the Winslow Water System by R.W. Beck and Associates in 1993.
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:
Pressure
Pipe sizing
Storage
Quality
Proposed Levels of Service for Water 30 psi residual
8" diameter rain. (where fire system is required)
"Sizing Guidelines for Public Water Systems"
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.

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. However, because of the
number of systems on the Island, it is 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 many 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.
1997 Capital Facilities Plan - January 13, 1997 11
As part of an interlocal agreement between the City and the Kitsap County PUD #1, the PUD is
currently developing an all-Island water system inventory which will form the basis of a Water
Comprehensive Plan. This plan will be completed in 1997 at an estimated cost of $125,000.
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. 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 3,100 or approximately 1,600 residential units. There are, however,
upgrades necessary to provide adequate fireflow in certain 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.
Based on the system plan, projects are designed and completed annually to meet customer needs,
such as the new water transmission main installed during the summer of 1996 in High School
Road, from Madison Avenue to Sportsman Club Road. To more cost-effectively meet other of
1997 Capital Facilities Plan - January 13, 1997 12
the City's goals, the main project restoration included placing a paved bicycle/pedestrian
shoulder the entire length of the project. Other accomplishments in the past few years include
the Rockaway Beach Water System, designed and built at the request of the residents, and the
Fletcher Bay and Winslow systems were joined legally as they already were functionally.
Improved maintenance has greatly reduced "dirty water" complaints and the recently installed
telemetry system has provided us more current and cost-effective data. The City is now looking
for suitable sites for the construction of new reservoirs recommended for the upper and lower
zones. The amount of usable storage that can be achieved will depend on the ground level of the
sites relative to the operating level of each zone.
Under state law revenues cannot exceed the cost to provide service. New hook-ups are charged
according to the cost to connect.
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 #7 treatment plant north of Fort
Ward Park which will serve the customers within the District's service area at the south end of
the Island is currently under construction. Details of the Sewer District #7 system can be found
in the Water Element. More detailed information on the Island' s wastewater facilities may be
found in the Water Element of this Comprehensive Plan and 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 east of
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. The existing treatment plant was designed to
accommodate an effective population of 10,000. The Brown & Caldwell study determined that
the plant is functioning at about 30-35 % of its design capacity. The costs to upgrade the
treatment plant are to bring it up to its design capacity. The 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.
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
1997 Capital Facilities Plan - January 13, 1997 15
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, m~d 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 Outfall 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. This city will undertake in 1997 an update
to the 1985 plan to include the entire Island and to consider water quality as well as quantity.
Anticipated cost of this update will be approximately $350,000 with the Kitsap County PUD # 1
funding an, as yet, undetermined portion of the cost.

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 assume that the proposed bonds will be issued and are accounted for in the debt
service in the 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.
The following tables are based on a set of economic forecast assumptions that include: a 3.3% - 3.5%
inflation rate based on the Seattle Consumer Price Index; modest but steady increases in real property
assessed valuation due to inflation 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,
stormwater management) and L.I.Ds are not included in the following tables.
The City will continue to seek grants to fund capital projects. Work on several listed projects is
conditioned upon receiving grants, with the project deferred past the year 2003 if the grants are not
received.

PARKS
The Bainbridge Island Park 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 includes
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 Festival,
Wednesday Concerts in the Park, Music Festival, and youth baseball, soccer and basketball
camps. Program use has increased on average 7% since 1994.
A tandem goal for the District is providing for open space acquisition. Apart from two small
state parks, Fort Ward and Fay Bainbridge, other system parks have been acquired by citizen
levies, dedications and grants. In the District' s early years, negotiation with the federal
govermnent provided to Bainbridge Island Park and Recreation District transfer of Battle Point,
Eagledale and Strawberry Hill parks through the federal surplus lands program. Waterfront Park,
a City Park, is a destination facility for the District' s sailing instruction.
In 1995 the District won grant funding and levy support for the acquisition of Gazzam Lake Park
& Preserve. This is a 318 acre facility that provides nature study and passive use in the northern
preserve portion and some form of recreational activity pending public process at the southern
portion. Gazzam's southern parcels won grant award status in the state' s Local Park category.
Gazzam's northern parcels won funding in the state's Urban Wildlife grant category.
Additionally, an island levy provided the local match necessary to accept these state grants.
Other pending developments include additional fields at Woodward Middle School and an
additional pool at The Ray Williamson Pool. Through interlocal agreement the District is
developing athletic fields at Woodward. These fields are targeted for completion in 1997. The
outcome on whether there will be an additional pool will be determined by voter election and
donation in 1998. The current pool was built in 1971. The peak rate for summer day use is 1000
swims and the peak rate for winter day use is 600 swims. With a total of over 133,000 recorded
annual swims a year, the pool is at capacity with regard to servicing cross sector demands. No
state grants exist for indoor pool facilities.
In terms of expansion of volunteer efforts, the District is initiating the Stewardship Program for
environmental protection. This effort will involve citizens with habitat identification, habitat
restoration, and education. Similar efforts across Puget Sound have proven effective in stream
restoration efforts, beach clean-up, development of educational centers and programs. The Island
Trails Committee has recently expanded trails from Manzanita, reopened the trail surrounding
Blakely Pond and is currently completing volunteer fund raising efforts for a bridge in the Grand
Forest.
1997 Capital Facilities Plan - January 13, 1997 22
The District has an elected board of five volunteer commissioners. Paul Kundtz is the presiding
Chair. The District maintains a staff of seventeen full time employees. Funding for programs
and administration is by citizen's levy provided for under RCW 36.69.

1997 Capital Facilities Plan - January 13, 1997 24
SCHOOLS
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. Special levies can fund
specific capital improvements, such as technology. School District operating costs are
principally funded through a state apportionment formula and local tax levies. Much of the
following information was obtained from the School District' s Capital Facilities Plan as updated
by the School District in November of 1995.
Wilkes Elementary and Blakely Elementary are located in the noah and south sections of the
island. Ordway Elementary, Bainbridge High and Commodore Center are located on the
district' s main campus, a 75-acre site at Madison Ave. NE and NE High School Road. The
campus includes district administration buildings, maintenance and shop facilities, and the
transportation center. The main campus also encompasses land leased to other agencies for a
swimming pool, a teen center and a daycare. Woodward Middle is located 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
Grade 3:
Grades 4 through 5:
Grades 6 through 8:
Grades 9 through 12
per teacher
23 students per teacher
27 students per teacher
29 students per teacher
29 students per teacher
Recent Events. The most dramatic facilities changes between mid-1994 and mid-1996 were the
completion of Woodward Middle school, with students arriving in December of 1994, and
removal of the landmark water tower in mid-1995. Less obvious were (1) completion of the
parking area to serve Commodore Center, district offices and the park district swimming pool
and (2) readying areas of Commodore to house high school expansion, alternative programs for
high school and elementary students, and home school support.
One goal of the district' s strategic plan is to partner more with the entire community for
educational purposes. To this end the district has completed, or has under discussion,
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
1997 Capital Facilities Plan - January 13, 1997 25
teachers' association for office space; with the fire district for a transmission tower site; and with
the library district for interim check-out space.
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE. Proceeds from a technology levy approved in February 1996 will
improve computer access for students at all levels and for community members.
Other expenditures shown on the chart following are based on discussion with other Island
agencies and an in-depth review of enrollment forecasts and facilities adequacy. Some projects
included in previous editions of the Capital Facilities Plan have been deferred. The district
anticipates placing a bond issue on the February 1997 ballot. These bonds will fund expansion
and comprehensive renovation of existing high school facilities and an additional elementary
school. Major high school projects include replacement of the 300 wing by fall of 1998 and a
new gymnasium by September of 2000. The new elementary school will be on line by
September 1999. Smaller renovation and site improvement projects are intended for the 1997-
2003 period. The district has no plans to place an additional construction bond on the ballot
prior to 2002.
The bonds issued in 1992 will provide a new roof and ventilation system at Ordway Elementary
and significant repairs at Commodore Center and the district offices.
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 20
school buses, 4 of which were built before 1977; 5 special education buses; and 18 miscellaneous
maintenance and motor pool vehicles.
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 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. The 1995 Legislature lowered the limit on funds obtainable through local tax
levies, and that sector is expected to decrease slightly as a percentage of operating funding over
the next five years.

1997 Capital Facilities Plan - January 13, 1997 28
FIRE
The Bainbridge Island Fire Department's Long Range Capital Plan is driven by two major
factors: (1) the community's escalating need for fire protection and emergency medical services
based on population growth and development; and (2) the needs of a community based fire and
emergency medical operation which utilizes a large number of volunteers and a small core of
career staff. The Board of Fire Commissioners adopted a Long Range Capital Plan is 1994 to
meet the anticipated 20-year service needs of Bainbridge Island consistent with the vision of a
strong community based operation.
MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS 1995-1996
The department constructed a new North Satellite Station to address the growing service needs in
the northern portion of the Island and to provide enhanced training facilities for career staff and
volunteers. The Station includes a 3-stall apparatus bay, housing for resident volunteers, and a
training building.
The South Satellite Station was remodeled to provide adequate housing accommodations for
volunteer residents.
The design and permit process were completed for the installation of a new emergency
communication radio tower, with construction anticipated in early 1997. This project was not
anticipated in the original plan and became a priority when the existing radio antennae had to be
removed for the high school's ofd water tower.
A new sewer connection was installed at the Headquarters Station to address urgent problems
associated with the existing septic system. The timetable for this project was accelerated to
address Health District requirements.
The Department purchased two new medic unit vehicles and retrofitted two tender trucks and a
rescue unit vehicle.
ANTICIPATED SCHEDULE CHANGES AND FUTURE OUTLOOK
Given the need to focus attention on the construction of the North Satellite Station and other
urgent capital projects, two projects originally scheduled in 1996 are now tentatively moved to
1998: (1) a new wash pad facility for cleaning vehicles and equipment in an environmentally
safe manner; and (2) improvements to the existing detention pond so that its function properly to
control stormwater runoff.
Major projects or purchases anticipated over the next two years include: Installation of new
emergency generators at the Headquarters Station and the south Satellite Station; purchase of a
new engine and a new multi-purpose ladder truck; construction of new housing for resident
volunteers at the Headquarters Station; and replacement of an emergency medical unit.
LEVEL OF SERVICE
1997 Capital Facilities Plan - January 13, 1997 29
The Fire Department protects property and saves lives within the Bainbridge Island community.
The major services provided by the Department include: extinguishing fires; providing
emergency medical treatment; conducting special rescue operations; responding to major
disasters; and providing presentation and public education services to reduce fire danger and
improve response to emergencies. When responding to fire and medical emergencies, the Fire
Department' s service level goal is to respond within and average of five minutes from the notice
of a call to arrival at the scene with at least one of the following vehicles: water tender, engine,
and/or emergency medical unit. During the first half of 1996, the Fire Department was
exceeding its five-minute response time goal with an average response time to medical
emergencies of 4:31 minutes and an average response to fire emergencies of 4:48 minutes.
