Private money
Wednesday, December 28th, 2005
Bremerton is getting
new condos along the waterfront. It’s private money financing
the venture, next to some very public projects.

Raising the Bar
Friday, December 9th, 2005
The issue raised in
Aid Agency Seeks Funds for New Building is one that’s been
discussed before in this paper and makes perfect sense. As a
neighborhood improves, the cost of being there increases. The folks
at Kitsap Community Resources could sense the prevailing winds and
their response is what you see here.
The drawing was provided by Rice Fergus Miller, architect for the building, through KCR.
The Job Description
Thursday, December 8th, 2005In more detail regarding Gary Sexton’s job, what he does is something cities usually find a consultant to do, Bremerton’s financial services director Laura Lyon told me following Wednesday’s meeting. I’ve never covered a city that had someone doing specifically what Sexton does, which Eric Williams described in a story earlier this year as overseeing most of the city’s redevelopment projects.
On Bainbridge Island the city has a project manager hired for two years to oversee a visioning process for its downtown.
Housing Chief to Exit
Wednesday, December 7th, 2005My first and perhaps only conversation ever with Merrill Wallace
occurred Tuesday and was about
his departure from the executive director position of the
Bremerton Housing
Authority.
The agency’s board of directors decided to not renew his contract.
Wallace is credited with diversifying the BHA’s financial base, but
the board is looking for a better communicator and someone better
able to adopt a regional perspective.
There have been rumblings behind the scenes for months that this
was going to happen.
Wallace had the job 23 years. His last day is Friday.
