body
      BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF KING COUNTY:
      SECTION 1.  Findings:
      A.  King County is facing a multiyear fiscal crisis that is forcing major cuts in all non-mandated government services funded by the current expense fund and as a result does not have a sufficient, stable source of revenue to continue to operate and maintain Si View park, Shamrock park and Si View community center and pool ("facilities").
      B.  Due to its fiscal crisis, King County desires to divest itself of ownership, management, and financial responsibility for pools, parks, open space, recreational facilities and programs inside and near city boundaries.
      C.  King County and the Si View metropolitan park district ("district") have agreed to terms of an interlocal agreement for the transfer of the facilities, which facilities are surplus to the county's needs.
      D.  The county and the city strongly desire to complete the transfer as soon as possible so that the facilities may be re-opened for public use.  To do so, this ordinance must be adopted on an emergency basis.
      E.  The recitals in the agreement set forth relevant facts supporting and explaining the terms of the transfer.
      F.  The equipment and supplies being conveyed along with the facilities are integral to the continued operation and maintenance of the facilities and are surplus to the county's needs.
      G.  King County and the city have agreed that the transfer will take place within one hundred twenty days following execution of the interlocal agreement by both parties.
      H.  Transfer of the facilities under the terms and conditions of the agreement attached to this ordinance will serve an important county purpose by ensuring that the facilities will remain open and available to all county residents.
      SECTION 2.  The King County executive is hereby authorized to enter into an interlocal agreement, substantially in the form of the agreement attached to this ordinance, with the Si View metropolitan park district relating to the transfer of Si View park, Shamrock park and Si View community center and pool.
      SECTION 3.  For the reasons set forth in section 1 of this ordinance, 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 for the support of county government and its existing public institutions.
