The City's Administrative Hearing Examiner

The City of Bremerton has a contract with the firm of SOUND LAW CENTER to provide hearing examiner services. Their philosophy is to provide an objective review of the facts of an application and then apply the goals and ordinances of the city to make a decision. They encourage all interested persons to present all relevant facts at the hearings through oral or written testimony. They try to create an atmosphere at the hearing that demonstrates courtesy to witnesses and acknowledgement of their opinions. Below is a summary of their credentials and experience.
