body
      STATEMENT OF FACTS:
1.  King County receives an annual Community Development Block Grant ("CDBG") entitlement grant and a HOME Investments Partnership ("HOME") grant, and related federal funds from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD").
2.  In order for the King County CDBG and HOME consortia to remain qualified as urban county consortia with HUD, the consortia must renew and/or update interlocal cooperation agreements with the cities that choose to participate in the consortia every three years.
3.  King County annually collects document recording fee surcharge revenue generated by the passage of Chapter 294, Laws of Washington 2002, Section 2, codified as RCW 36.22.178, to be used for affordable housing projects pursuant to a Regional Affordable Housing Program ("RAHP") interlocal agreement with cities in King County.
4.  Pursuant to K.C.C. chapter 24.13, it is the policy of King County to partner with cities and towns in King County as urban county consortia for planning the distribution and administration of federal CDBG and HOME funds, and for planning the distribution and administration of state authorized RAHP funds.
5.  Pursuant to K.C.C. 24.13.010, King County consortia partnerships are established through the following interlocal cooperation agreements:
 a.  CDBG agreement for cities that do not qualify to receive their own CDBG grant, and participate in both the CDBG and HOME consortia;
 b.  CDBG joint agreement for cities that could qualify to receive their own CDBG grant, but that choose to participate in the King County CDBG consortium to plan and implement a joint community development program;
 c.  HOME agreement for cities that receive their own CDBG grant, but do not qualify to receive their own HOME funds, and participate only in the HOME consortium; and
 d.  RAHP agreement for all cities in the county that want to participate in a regional affordable housing fund.
6.  The King County CDBG and HOME consortia have agreed to       automatically renew the CDBG agreement and the HOME agreement for a another three year qualification period 2012-2014, to update the  CDBG joint agreement for the period 2012-2014, and to update the RAHP agreement for the period 2012-2014.
      BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF KING COUNTY:
      SECTION 1.  The King County executive is hereby authorized to enter into renewed and updated interlocal cooperation agreements with CDBG agreement cities, CDBG joint agreement cities, HOME agreement cities and RAHP agreement cities.  The
agreements shall be in substantially the form of Attachments A, B, C and D to this ordinance.
