Board of Directors

Kitsap 911 is governed by the Board of Directors which is made up of the same elected officials that served on the CENCOM policy board: the three county commissioners and the sheriff, the mayors of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard, and Poulsbo, three fire commissioners, and two Bremerton City Council members. The Board meets monthly on the first Tuesday of the month.

The purpose of the board is to control and oversee Kitsap 911’s operations and funds, correct any deficiencies, and assure that the purposes described in the Ordinance and Charter are reasonably accomplished. Some of the actions requiring approval of the Board are:

• Reviewing and adopting an annual budget, separate capital budget and amendments;
• Establishing appropriate fees for 911 emergency communications services provided by contract to other public agencies (“service fees”);
• Approving all capital expenditures in excess of $50,000;
• Appointment of the Kitsap 911 Executive Director;
• Establishing and amending the Service Fee Formula;
• Making and amending the Bylaws;
• Strategic Plan Adoption
