Kitsap County, to promote uniform and effective administration of relocation assistance programs, will utilize the Washington State Department of Transportation publication #M26-01(HW) Chapter 12, Right of Way Agents’ Manual, as a guideline in conducting the county’s relocation programs in federal aid projects.
(Res. 580-1979 (part), 1979)
(a) 
Relocation assistance advisory services will be provided for persons displaced or for any person occupying property immediately adjacent to real property acquired if such person is caused substantial economic injury because of the acquisition.
(b) 
Specific definitions for concept of terms used in this chapter will be the same as WAC 365-24-110.
(Res. 580-1979 C(1), 1979)
Advisory services will include such measures, facilities or services necessary or appropriate in order to:
(1) 
By personal interview, determine the need, if any, of eligible persons for relocation assistance. The displaced person will receive a relocation brochure furnished or approved by the Washington State Department of Transportation;
(2) 
Provide current and continuing information on the availability, prices, and rental of comparable decent, safe and sanitary sales and rental housing, and of comparable commercial properties and locations for eligible businesses;
(3) 
Assure that prior to displacement, there will be available, in areas not generally less desirable in regard to public utilities and public and commercial facilities and at rents or prices within the financial means of the families and individuals displaced, decent, safe and sanitary dwellings, equal in number to the numbers of such displaced persons who require such dwellings and reasonably accessible to their places of employment;
(4) 
Assist an eligible person displaced from his business or farm operation in obtaining and becoming established in a suitable replacement location;
(5) 
Provide other advisory services to eligible persons such as counseling and referrals with regard to housing, financing, employment, training, health, welfare and any other assistance which will minimize hardship to such persons in adjusting to relocation.
(Res. 580-1979 C(2), 1979)
Relocation assistance advisory services by Kitsap County will be provided to the public. There will be available to the public full information, including a relocation brochure, concerning Kitsap County’s relocation program concerning the project. When appropriate, a relocation assistance office will be located in the vicinity of the project and will be open during hours convenient to persons to be relocated. The county will ensure that all interested parties and persons to be displaced are fully informed, at the earliest possible time, of the specific plans and procedures for assuring that comparable replacement housing will be available for home owners and tenants in advance of displacement; available relocation payments and assistance; the eligibility requirements and procedures for obtaining such payments and assistance; and the right of administrative review by the head of the local public body concerned, as provided by RCW 8.26,130.
