STATEMENT OF FACTS
1.  Owing to land development permitting and flood hazard reduction activities conducted by King County that were not yet completed at the time of the city of Kenmore's incorporation, the county now holds title to certain drainage-related properties within the city of Kenmore.
2.  An interlocal agreement executed with Kenmore at the time of the city's incorporation stipulates that drainage properties subsequently coming under the county's ownership be transferred to Kenmore.
3.  The county wishes to dives itself of ownership, management, and financial responsibilities for drainage-related properties now within city boundaries, and Kenmore wishes to assume such responsibilities.
4.  A number of properties to be conveyed were acquired using funding from a hazard mitigation grant administered by the state of Washington (grant agreement EM998293), which must give permission for the properties to be conveyed to another entity.
5.  The transfer of drainage-related properties is consistent with county policy that local drainage properties and facilities should be owned and maintained by local jurisdictions.
6.  In consideration of the mutual benefits to be derived, it is in the best interest of the citizens of King County to convey the lands described herein to the city of Kenmore.
      BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF KING COUNTY:
      SECTION 1.  The King County executive is hereby authorized to execute a deed of conveyance in favor of the city of Kenmore for drainage-related properties within the city limits as shown on the attached legal description, Attachment A to this ordinance, upon receipt of requisite permission form state and federal agencies to transfer these
 
properties funded through the hazard mitigation grant mentioned in the statement of facts of this ordinance.
