AN ORDINANCE authorizing the county executive to amend an interlocal agreement with the city of Tukwila to allow for expansion of county services for landmark designation and protection purposes.
body
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
1.  Ordinance 17637, adopted in 2013, authorized the executive to enter into an interlocal agreement with the city of Tukwila for landmark designation and protection services.
2.  Under the interlocal agreement, the King County provides landmark designation and protection services to the city for "city-owned" historic properties, but not for privately owned buildings.
3.  Since then, members of the Masonic Delta Lodge located in Tukwila have inquired about landmark designation for their historic lodge building in part to avail themselves of financial incentives.
4.  The city of Tukwila recognizes that the economic, aesthetic, and cultural well-being of the city cannot be maintained or enhanced by allowing the unnecessary deterioration or destruction of historic properties and therefore has requested that the interlocal agreement be amended to allow county services under the interlocal agreement to extend to privately-owned properties.
5.  The city has also requested a technical change to the agreement.
6.  The county is able and willing to provide landmark designation and protection services to the city.
7.  Participation in this agreement is to the benefit of the citizens of the city of Tukwila and all of King County.
      BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF KING COUNTY:
      SECTION 1.  The county executive is authorized to enter into an amendment to the interlocal agreement for landmark designation and protection services with the city of Tukwila, substantially in the form of Attachment A to this ordinance, and is further authorized to execute an amended interlocal agreement with the city of Tukwila
consistent with the amendment to the interlocal agreement for landmark designation and protection services, to expand landmark designation and protection services to the city.
