Body
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
1. The existing code on revenue and financial regulation, K.C.C. Title 4, was created for the most part in the 1970s and 1980s, though some provisions date back to at least the 1940s.
2. Since the creation of K.C.C. Title 4, the title has been subject to many amendments each year. The cumulative effect of these amendments has been to create ambiguities and conflicts within the title, which make it difficult to apply the code effectively and predictably.
3. The council is performing a comprehensive review of K.C.C. Title 4 to reflect current practices, including the implementation of the new county financial system, as well as the King County Strategic Plan, 2010-2014: Working Together for One King County.
4. The council determines that a new title on revenue and financial regulation, K.C.C. Title 4A, should be created, and material related to revenue and financial matters be codified in that title, and all other material in K.C.C. Title 4 that is not appropriate to be codified K.C.C. Title 4A should be codified in the appropriate titles.
