A RESOLUTION related to the provision of services to the King County transportation district by King County; requesting the county prepare, negotiate, and execute with the district an implementation plan and interlocal agreement for transportation improvement planning and implementation, and stating the intent of the district to reimburse the county fully from available funds for the reasonable cost of services provided to the district.

Body

                     BE IT RESOLOVED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE KING COUNTY TRANSPORTATION DISTRICT:

                     SECTION 1.  Findings:

                     A.  The King County transportation district has approved a resolution imposing a one-tenth of one percent sales and use tax to raise revenue to pay for transportation improvements, with funds from the tax to be collected beginning in 2026.

                     B.  The district seeks to ensure that revenues collected through the sales and use tax are used in a manner that improves safety, mobility, and the long-term condition of the county roadway system.

                     C.  Strategic planning and transparent prioritization of county roadway investments are essential to ensure the effective and accountable use of public funds.

                     D.  Currently, the district has no employees and no funds and therefore it is not feasible for the district to undertake the planning and implementation of transportation improvements without external assistance.

                     E.  King County has the authority, experience, and expertise to acquire, construct, operate, improve, provide, maintain, and preserve public transportation facilities, services, programs, and roads.

                     F.  The district can achieve cost savings and efficiency benefits that are in the public's interest by having King County provide such services to the district.

                     SECTION 2.  It is the intent of the district to authorize the full reimbursement of King County from the funds that become available to the district for the reasonable costs of services performed by the county after the adoption of this resolution related to the planning and implementation of county roadway infrastructure improvements.

                     SECTION 3.  A.  King County is requested to prepare and submit to the district, and to the King County council, by September 1, 2026, a proposed implementation plan and interlocal agreement that would provide services to the district related to the planning and implementation of county roadway infrastructure improvements.  The requested implementation plan and interlocal agreement should include:

                       1.  A description of district and county obligations to effectively and efficiently plan and implement county roadway infrastructure improvements;

                       2.  A prioritized work plan of county roadway programs and projects, including preliminary cost estimates and anticipated funding allocations, proposed for the 2026-2027 biennium;

                       3.  A framework for determining county roadway programs and projects to receive district revenues in future biennia;

                       4.  Performance metrics to track financial accountability, project delivery, and transportation system outcomes;

                       5.  Regular financial and performance reporting transmitted to, and reviewed by, the King County transportation district and the King County council; and

                       6.  Reimbursement by the district to the county for services as authorized by section 2 of this resolution.

                     B.  The board intends to consider authorizing the requested implementation plan and interlocal agreement at a meeting to be held in September 2026.
