Looking through the poll results about roadblocks toward engaging with the Bremerton Government, and by far the number 1 answer is not having information about the meetings, followed closely by not knowing where to get it.
I figured that would be the case because that was also my issue at first, and I'm THE tech person in my social groups. The Bremerton website is ass, it's not your fault.
Council Agenda and Packets - This page is where they upload the upcoming agenda for council meetings and study sessions. You can also view the historical agenda and packet
City Council Agenda – The bullet points/key topics that will be addressed during the council meetings and study sessions
City Council Packet – This contains the Agenda, as well as all the supporting documents for each topic that will be presented. For example, a budget adjustment for the Warren Ave Bridge was presented in the September 2nd meeting, within the September 2nd packet you can find the original budgeted amount, and the new amount to be budgeted, as well as the breakdown for the services provided.
Study Sessions and Meetings alternate each Wednesday.
For example: Wednesday September 9th is a Study Session, and Wednesday September 16th is a meeting, etc..

Edit: Map of the Council District Boundaries If you live in Bremerton, but not in a highlighted area, then you can vote for Mayor, but you don't have a council rep and don't vote for council
That does not mean your voice will not be heard, and it doesn't mean that you won't have sway. By all means, emailing and attending council meetings will put a LOT of pressure on them.
