Cole, a port staff member presenting the item, said the grant application requests $17,197.73 and carries a 5% local match. \"The grant application going to Foxconn Aviation this year will be the 17,197 dollars and 73 cents. It's a 5% match,\" Cole said. He told commissioners the port also received $300,000 from the aeronautics budget and an FAA award of $326,756 for related projects.

Why it matters: staff said the WSDOT grant, combined with federal and local funds, will pay for elements of a scoped phase‑2 study that the port described as necessary to get FAA funding for certain project elements. Cole said the port contracted Mead & Hunt to perform the scoped aviation study; he characterized the $6.43 figure discussed in the meeting as a downscoped amount from an originally larger master‑plan budget, and said Mead & Hunt removed parts of the original plan that the FAA did not require so the port could save costs.

Details and discussion: Cole said the work being funded by the grant includes an ALP update that will tie into terminal planning, parking planning and other phase‑2 study elements. He said the FAA encouraged the port to reduce the size of a previously proposed master plan and to scope this work specifically to what the FAA required to secure federal funds.

Commissioners asked timing and expenditure questions; Cole said the grant must be expended in 2025. When asked, Cole said he would confirm whether the current resolution approval satisfies future submittal requirements or if the commission will need to approve similar resolutions for future applications.

A motion to approve the resolution was made and seconded; the commission recorded unanimous votes in favor. The clerk recorded votes as Commissioner Bozeman: yes; Commissioner Anderson: yes; Commissioner Strickland: yes. The motion carried.

What was not decided: the presenter said he would verify whether the port will need a separate commission approval for each future WSDOT Aviation Division grant submittal. The contract amount with Mead & Hunt was discussed in the meeting but the transcript contains inconsistent numeric phrasing about that figure; staff said they would confirm exact contract payment details with another staff member.

Next steps: staff will submit the WSDOT Aviation Division Airport Aid application and follow up with commissioners about any outstanding contract or future approval questions.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Port of Bremerton Commissioners - 05-27-2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Port of Bremerton Commission on Tuesday approved a resolution authorizing submission of a Washington State Department of Transportation Aviation Division Airport Aid grant application to fund an update to the airport layout plan and related phase‑2 planning work.","taxTitle","Bremerton City, Kitsap County, Washington","taxId",7831,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6641509,"Port of Bremerton approves three Steelhead Group Holdings lease actions, adds 1‑acre lease for washdown and paint booth",673,482000,1155000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3842303-890bb1c338813245757fe0f5dfaaa547&start=482&end=1155","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3842303-890bb1c338813245757fe0f5dfaaa547/thumbnail_482000.jpg","/articles/6641509/Bremerton-City/Kitsap-County/Washington/Port-of-Bremerton-approves-three-Steelhead-Group-Holdings-lease-actions-adds-1acre-lease-for-washdown-and-paint-booth","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6641509-4ecfe8dea880a1612dda6acfba2a52d8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771147611&Signature=m4UHqkFB5QkQuKVGH2S0At-6EJHPH9XO5oGn2jcf3dgTRfv-dZMFrLVCEiMTq3x90Y9Vb8e2Sb-5bkH41obAZ7IuAP1tZqY9X5UE~ikwaVypmgNMCCINhkUlddWZlIkTjLmR7L9BA5jLQOPXweQuocmyOQ0Vk6k6U~Dp-eeQ-1CdUZMc13hh4kATqVQ43VtlY41A~xK~Zeem9c6BHr5xInzF9TEqWHuxENtGy8AnJK9H4e~TPEPxmIyXrylTL4U4DNZGGmDMcBlFyoJm5N7Zj0ceZXDu1SqND5ZciSTmm1CXAJv~vuFDRPDYz5tObLcYKP7sEnL5vjCAyCJrciHUkA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Port of Bremerton Commission approved three lease actions for Steelhead Group Holdings, advancing site development tied to a 60,000‑square‑foot building being developed for Inventech Marine.

Port staff described the package as two lease amendments and a new one‑acre lease. The amendments establish a lease commencement date of June 1, 2025, for an existing 4.41‑acre parcel and for a 1.39‑acre parcel (the former P‑patch). The newly approved 1‑acre lease is for undeveloped land immediately adjacent to existing facilities; port staff said Steelhead plans to add a washdown station and a paint booth on that parcel.

Terms and fiscal details: staff said all leases are 50‑year terms with three 10‑year renewal options. The port described a negotiated rent structure in which the first 10 years avoid annual CPI increases to help the business grow; at the 10‑year anniversary the lease applies a cumulative CPI adjustment equal to the sum of the prior five years of CPI changes, then resumes annual CPI adjustments thereafter. Port staff said the unimproved land rate used by staff was $5,400 per acre per year but the negotiated lease rate for the new acre is $6,000 per acre per year.

Construction and environmental requirements: staff said site development was completed in March 2025 and the tenant will apply for a temporary certificate of occupancy this week. Staff said Steelhead (the building owner for Inventech Marine) has invested about $13.5 million so far in the building and expects to spend an additional $2.0–$2.5 million for the washdown station and paint booth. Staff said environmental review is complete, that the tenant must submit a SEPA checklist and obtain required permits, and that substantial filtration/NPDS controls will be required for washwater and any discharges.

Employment and operations: staff reported Steelhead's local employment had grown from 42 to 97 employees and that the company expects to grow to roughly 200–250 employees while remaining under 300 employees. Staff also said the building includes roughly 120 parking stalls and that ADA access and bicycle rack installation remain to be completed.

Commission action and votes: commissioners moved and seconded three separate motions to approve the lease amendment and lease agreement items presented on the screen. For each motion the clerk recorded votes as Commissioner Bozeman: yes; Commissioner Anderson: yes; Commissioner Strickland: yes. All three motions carried.

What to watch: staff said the tenant is responsible for design, permitting and installation of environmental controls for the washdown and paint operations; the port will not install utilities or improvements to the new acre beyond what was negotiated. Staff also said signage and a proposed showroom on the 1.39‑acre parcel were part of the tenant's plan.

Documentation: meeting materials listed parcel addresses and monthly rent figures; staff summarized fiscal impacts in monthly terms during the discussion. The commission did not alter insurance requirements (the original lease insurance requirement remained $2,000,000).","The commission approved two lease amendments and a new 1‑acre lease for Steelhead Group Holdings, owner of the building being constructed for Inventech Marine. Leases are 50 years with three 10‑year options; first 10 years have no CPI increases and a catch‑up CPI adjustment is applied at the 10‑year anniversary for the prior five years.","actionData","errors"]
