PAB Meeting 02/18/2026

The Kitsap County Government Parks Advisory Board meeting on February 18, 2026, focused primarily on park management, community engagement, and event usage statistics. Key procurement-related discussions included staffing updates, notably the near completion of hiring for an administrative support position critical for contract processing and the ongoing recruitment of a wildlife ecologist. The department is also planning to contract a firm to conduct a new park impact fee study, the first since 2003, to analyze and potentially update fee structures. Additionally, the meeting reviewed 2025 event usage and revenue data across various park facilities, highlighting increased field usage and revenue growth, which supports park operations. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were announced, but the discussion of the upcoming impact fee study and staffing changes indicates forthcoming procurement activity.
