established in the early 1980s and is an active municipal corporation which operates under the name
Kitsap Transit for the purpose of providing public transportation services in Kitsap County;
WHEREAS, RCW 36.57A.020 and .030 confer on the Board of the Kitsap County

Conference to consider changing the boundaries of Kitsap Transit;
WHEREAS, on October 9, 2006, the Kitsap County Board of Commissioners adopted a
resolution calling for the convention of a Public Transportation Improvement Conference (the

Transit and selected Commissioner Jan Angel as Kitsap County's representative;
WHEREAS, the respective City Councils of the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton,

WHEREAS, notice of the Conference meeting was duly published by Kitsap County as
required by law;
WHEREAS, the Conference met on November 9, 2006, elected Jan Angel to serve as the
Chairman of the Conference, designated Cathie Knox -Browning to serve as the Clerk, and voted to
use Robert's Rules of Order to govern its procedures;
WHEREAS, following the establishment of Kitsap Transit, the State Legislature enacted
the Growth Management Act ("GMA");
WHEREAS, under GMA, urban governmental services should, with certain exceptions, be
limited to urban growth areas;
WHEREAS, under GMA, public transit service is an "urban governmental service", if
provided at the intensity historically and typically provided in cities;
WHEREAS, regular routed bus service is an urban governmental service;
WHEREAS, historically, Kitsap Transit has confined its routed bus service operations to
the more urbanized areas of Kitsap County;
WHEREAS, the existing boundaries of Kitsap Transit include all of Kitsap County, which
include large areas outside of both existing urban growth areas and areas that are projected to be
included in subsequent urban growth area expansions within a relative short-term future;
WHEREAS, over the past twelve (12) months, Kitsap Transit's Board of Commissioners
and executive officers have considered and studied the potential change to the boundaries of Kitsap
Transit and, as a result of those efforts, made certain preliminary recommendations regarding the
desirability of changing its boundaries;
WHEREAS, Kitsap Transit's preliminary recommendations were submitted to the review
of the Kitsap County Department of Community Development for consistency with the projected
Urban Growth Area expansions contemplated by Kitsap County's 10 year Comprehensive Plan
update now being undertaken and were also submitted to the Elections Division of the Kitsap
County Auditor's Office to determine practicability of following Urban Growth Boundaries versus
voter precinct or school district lines;
WHEREAS, as a result of the comments and input of those two departments, Kitsap
Transit is recommending that its boundaries be changed in accordance with the "Transit District
Boundary Adjustment Map" and "Description" attached as Exhibit A hereto;
WHEREAS, in its presentation to the Conference, Kitsap Transit has represented that its
requested boundary changes will not result in any change to any existing transit services or
programs provided to the residents of Kitsap County and its Component Cities; specifically Kitsap
Transit has represented it will continue to provide ACCESS and Rideshare services beyond its
boundaries as authorized by law.
WHEREAS, the Conference finds it desirable to change the boundaries of Kitsap Transit;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Kitsap County Public Transportation
Improvement Conference shall hold a Public Hearing on December 12, 2006 at the hour of 6 p.m.
at the Kitsap County Administration Building, 614 Division Street, Port Orchard, Washington, to
