A recap of the Kitsap Transit Board of Commissioners meeting, October 5,  2021: 

The meetings are recorded. Click here to watch.

The topic of Harper Pier was not part of any specific line item of the agenda. 

However, KT Chairman John Clauson provided a review of the 3rd Qtr Community Meetings he held on Oct 2.  

• Mr. Clauson said KT would be also evaluating Southworth as a location  for moorage, and possibly a third option near Manchester! This was the  first time he has mentioned these options to the Board; we are getting  KT's attention! (Timestamp 1:11:20 on the meeting recording) 

During Public Comments (Timestamp 1:25:55 on the meeting recording):

• The Friends of Harper Pier Demand Letter was read by Joy Lee. 496  signatures were attached to the final version submitted to the Board. 4  additional signatures came in late, so our total was 500! 

• Kinne Hawes asked two questions. First, how would the Board fund  additional consulting fees for studies of Southworth and Manchester?  Second, what is the timeline of moving the moorage south of Rich  Passage? Since it wasn’t in the listed Goals for 2022, does that mean it is  a 2023 goal? (As this is a comment period, no responses were  provided.) 

If you logged in and watched/listened, thank you! Kitsap Transit surely noted  an increase in attendees at the meeting.
