“I think I would like the discussion, and I want to honor what you're trying to say, which means I can't speak against it when it comes up, but I'd like to make a motion. I'd like to make a motion to make an honorary renaming of 8th Street from Warren Avenue to Pacific to Bishop Robertson Way. Did I say it the correct way? Is that what you were trying to say, Councilor Mochler?”

“So now let's have a discussion amongst council, please. Okay. So I'm going to make the motion, and I'm not prepared to speak in support of or in opposition to it, but I would like to hear the discussion. So thank you.”

“Point of order. I think a correction needs to be made for protocol. Don't we need to accept, once there's a first and a second, don't we need to accept public recognition or public comment on this and then we have discussion or do we just go straight to discussion?”

“Thank you. OK. So I made the motion so we could have the discussion. So many folks have been showing up, and you're here. And we needed to hear from you. We also needed to hear from the residents, too, of 8th Street, right? It would be a disservice to all the people that showed up today to let this die. So that's why I said I'm not prepared to vote either with or without, you know, just to speak with or without yet. May I ask what the original motion was that was referenced by another council member? Is that okay? May I ask that information what it was four weeks ago? I would just like to…”

“I understand the importance of it is because if we do adopt it, which you're reading the tea leaves, okay? Yeah, so I understand the importance of the whereas. It's because what we want is to have the information, the historic information preserved with our vote. Am I incorrect or am I correct in that assumption? The council member who was wondering about the resolution wanted the historic information from the whereas is preserved for this vote.”

“Can we adopt that resolution at a later date? Yeah, we can do that.”

“All right. I will probably be the last one to speak. I don't think we're going to. No. OK. I'll be speaking. OK. Well, I mean, we already know where you stand on it. I really appreciate what Councilor Camerota is stating about a fee that's not looked at. We think about inflation and the cost of things and the cost of construction costs are going up. And this is an easily attainable cost. something that's councilmatic, a fee that we can raise without having to put it to the voters. And for that very reason, it makes me feel super uncomfortable. And I'm going to take a different stance than…”

“Okay, so I want to make sure that I'm, and the reason that I wanted to have this public is because there is a lot that we do behind the scenes and the public wants to know what we talk about. And this is theoretically what we would be saying if we were back in that room and the public has a right to hear. And what we do as human beings is we learn and grow, and we find resolutions. I know that the sign felt like mocking a constituent, and that wasn't my intent. My intent was instead to address what was perceived by many constituents to be harmful misinformation. And in doing so, my delivery…”

“All right, that's my annual slide. Summer cleaning, let's see, the next opportunity will be August 15th. Get your coffee, get your t-shirt, have some fun. Show up at Cafe Perfetto. I think that's the only slide so you can take that down. I have a little art project that I created with, what was that? Where is it? It starts at Cafe Perfetto. I'm sorry. Let's talk later, Suzanne. I have a little art project that I created with Rima from Spread Supplies, and I want to share it with you today. So there's signs that have been around our community that you may or may not have noticed. Safety for…”

“I believe I have the right to make an executive session public. So I'll do that when we're back there. So I stand 10 toes down because I believe most Bremertonians do not oppose this tiny home community. And I'm tired of the can getting kicked down the road. The mayor had a proposal a couple of years ago that we voted down. Now we have another proposal. And I think we need to figure out how to make it work. I just really believe that we're on the wrong side of history if we don't make it work yet. So that's all, thank you.”

“Okay, there we go. I have a couple slides here. All right, so the problem with Pine Road, we got a little graphic there. The video may or may not work, but essentially what it's showing is this is the west side near Terra Court, I believe, on Pine Road. That's in 2025. You can see it's not in great condition. Here's the current condition. There's just some random blocks covering the easement where people can walk, so making it impossible. You can see a car coming. That's actually a limited sight distance, that hill right there. No signage for that. I don't know what the legal definition for…”

“All right, well that's, okay, so the next one is gonna be July 18th, show up for your free coffee or donut, your t-shirt, go clean up around Warren Avenue Bridge and the outlying neighborhoods around District 1 and District 2. Last week, I rushed through some statistics. I'm done with my slides, right? I wanted to talk a little bit about those. These are statistics from Pendleton Place. So they opened up about four years ago now, I believe. And some of the statistics I was quoting was zero to four years prior, or five years prior, and then in the zero to four years since. So 63 people who…”
