body
      BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF KING COUNTY:
      SECTION 1.  Findings:
      A.  King County, a home rule charter county and political subdivision of the state of Washington, is the owner of Petrovitsky park, located at 16400 Petrovitsky Road SE Renton, WA 98058, and described and depicted with greater particularity in Attachment A to this ordinance.
      B.  The Kent Youth Soccer Association ("KYSA") is a not-for-profit Washington corporation that is tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. KYSA is a community-based, open-membership club organized to provide public opportunities for youth soccer, and is a member in good standing with the Washington State Youth Soccer Association.
      C.  KYSA has the experience, ability and resources to develop synthetic sports fields and associated facilities at Petrovitsky park.
      D.  The parks and recreation division of the department of natural resources and parks has determined that synthetic soccer fields located at Petrovitsky park will have significant regional or rural, or regional and rural, public recreation value.
      E.  Ordinance 14509 authorizes the department of natural resources and parks to create new public recreation opportunities by empowering user groups, sports associations and community organizations to develop mutually agreed upon capital improvements for public recreation facilities on King County land, and thereby address either or both regional and rural recreation needs without increasing tax-funded operations and maintenance costs.  In 2011, King County and KYSA entered into an agreement for the design, development, permitting and construction of the soccer facility on the site.
      F.  KYSA has proceeded under the provisions of that agreement and has completed construction of the facility.
      G.  Allowing KYSA priority use and field use fee credits to allow it to provide youth soccer services on soccer fields at Petrovitsky park, will serve to implement the policy goals established in Ordinance 14509.
      G.  In accordance with K.C.C. 4.56.150.E, the King County council may adopt an ordinance permitting the county to enter into agreements for the use of county property with bona fide nonprofit organizations if the property is to be used by the nonprofit organization to make improvements to the county property or to provide services that will benefit the public.  The agreements are exempt from the requirements of fair market value, appraisal and notice.
      H.  The parks and recreation division is willing to allow KYSA to use the soccer fields at Petrovitsky park under the terms and conditions set forth in Attachment A to this ordinance, and to give KYSA scheduling priority over a term of ten years pursuant to Section 2.2 of Attachment A to this ordinance.
      SECTION 2.  The King County executive is hereby authorized to sign a use agreement, substantially the same as Attachment A to this ordinance, with the Kent Youth Soccer
Association, for the use, of two synthetic turf soccer fields located at Petrovitsky park in King County, Washington.
