Bremerton residents willing to weigh in on the city’s Comprehensive Plan Update will have a chance to win some swag.

Folks that visit the city’s Bremerton2035.com website to answer five questions about the plan and identify the location of a city council district mascot will win a free City of Bremerton coffee tumbler and straw.

The plan is a described as a 20-year vision and roadmap for Bremerton’s future. The plan guides city decisions on where to locate businesses and build homes, how to improve our transportation system, and where to make capital investments such as utilities, sidewalks, and public facilities.

After opening Bremerton2035.com, visitors can click on “project documents” to find seven council district profiles.

“We had the opportunity this summer to walk each of the districts, evaluate them, prepare a report of what we saw and what we’re recommending as a staff for modifications to our comprehensive plan,” said Andrea Spencer, the city’s director of community development.

As an incentive to residents, city staff have identified a “district mascot” in each of the city’s seven council districts. After weighing in on the plan, residents that identify the mascot can win a free tumbler.

“What we found when we were out walking each of the districts, we managed to find a statue of some sort of animal in every single district,” Spencer said. “If you can tell us where your district animal or district mascot is, we have some prizes at city hall as long as supplies last.”

Those that win a tumbler will need to pick it up at city hall.

The city’s comprehensive plan meets the requirements of the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) by helping protect the environment, quality of life and economic development. The plan must be consistent with both the multi-county planning policies in Puget Sound Regional Council’s (PRSC) Vision 2040 and Kitsap County’s Countywide Planning Policies. An updated plan must be approved by June 30, 2016 to comply with the state’s GMA.

When looking at the plan, residents are asked to keep four questions in mind. Those questions are: What makes Bremerton a special place? What makes people want to become part of this community? What attracts new vigor and activity to this community? What are the qualities that make Bremerton unique in the world and special to its citizens — both old and new? What changes would you make to the plan to make it match with your response to the last four questions?

The city’s planning commission will hold a public hearing at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 21, to take and review comments on each of the district profiles.

Those that have questions about the plan or would like more information about making comments are encouraged to contact Allison Satter, a long-range planner with the city, by calling 360-473-5845 or sending an email to compplan@ci.bremerton.wa.us.

“It’s important to get public comments into us now,” Spencer said.
