Body
      BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF KING COUNTY:
      SECTION 1.  Findings.
A.  On July 2, 2012, the city of Pacific was notified by the Cities Insurance Association of Washington (CIAW) that the city's membership in the CIAW and therefore its liability insurance coverage will be cancelled, effective December 31, 2012.   On November 13, 2012, the Pacific city council adopted Resolution No. 12-1213 to file for an election on disincorporation of the city.  The election date has not been set but could occur in the first quarter of 2013.
B.  If, due to the cancellation of insurance, key city officials and employees fail to report for work on January 1, 2013, certain city services may be delayed, reduced or not provided.  It is necessary to make other temporary provision for services necessary for the protection of public health, public safety, public property and public peace in the city.
D.  The city straddles the King County and Pierce County border.  The city has requested the county, within available resources, to endeavor to provide temporary services related to law enforcement, roads and surface water management in the King County portion of the city.
E.  To avoid the risk to the public peace, health, and safety if these services are not available commencing January 1, 2013, it is necessary that this ordinance be enacted as an emergency ordinance.
SECTION 1: The King County executive is hereby authorized to enter into an interlocal agreement, substantially in the form of Attachment A, with the city of Pacific relating to the provision of temporary services.
 
      SECTION 2:  The county council finds as a fact and declares that an emergency exists and that this ordinance is necessary for the immediate preservation of public peace, health or safety or the support of county government and its existing public institutions.
