Bainbridge property owners may see their annual tax bill rise between $35 to $68 dollars a year, depending on the size of a 20-year bond proposal that the city council may place on the ballot in November to pay for a new public safety facility.

The city council will get an update this week on a proposal to create a new combined police station/municipal court facility on Madison Avenue.

According to a detailed memo outlying costs of the new building, and initial projections on how to pay for it, city officials indicate the owner of a $500,000 property may see a yearly assessment for city taxes rise between $35 to $68, based on the amount that Bainbridge seeks from voters to pay for the new building.

Buying land and building a new public safety building will cost between $13.8 million and $14.6 million, according to estimates released late last week.

But the cost of the new facility may be partially offset by the sale of city-owned land, including:

• The unused and undeveloped Suzuki property;

• The current location of the Bainbridge police station on Winslow Way near the ferry terminal; and

• Surplus lands at Head-of-the-Bay.

All of the city lands are valued at $4.5 million, which could be applied to the costs of the new public safety building, according to a June 4 memo from Deputy Manager Morgan Smith to the council.

A sale of city land would drop the cost of a new facility on the Sakai property to $9.3 million to $10.1 million, and would lower the cost of the other proposed Madison Avenue location for the new building to $9.1 million to $9.7 million.

The council is expected to choose its preferred location at its meeting Tuesday.

The size of the bond measure in November will dictate how much property taxes will rise.

A $5 million bond measure will increase the tax bill for the owner of a $500,000 property by $35 in 2017.

An $8 million bond measure will increase the tax bill for a $500,000 property to $55 a year.

A $10 million bond measure is expected to increase the tax bill for a $500,000 property to $68 a year.

If the city decides to send the proposal to the November ballot, the council must pass legislation asking Kitsap County for the election by Aug. 4.

The city’s currently timeline has the council giving its initial approval for a November election and setting the dollar amount for the 20-year bond measure at the council’s meeting on July 7, with a final vote on July 21.
