STATEMENT OF FACTS:
1.  Under K.C.C. 4.56.115, the King County council may authorize the King County executive to grant an easement on county property.
2.  The White Center Food Bank in cooperation with the King County Housing Authority has requested an easement in council district 8 in order to install, operate and maintain a food bank facility for the distribution of food and related items to low income individuals and families in the south King County area.
3.  Lakewood park was conveyed to King County by the United States government in 1956 under the direction of the Public Housing Administration, under the authority of the United States Housing Act of 1937.
4.  The board of county commissioners passed Resolution 21374 in 1960 authorizing the construction of the new southwest district health office on portion the Lakewood park property.  The office is just southwest of the intersection of Southwest 108th Street and 8th Avenue Southwest.
5.  Interim use of portions of this site by the White Center Food Bank, as authorized by the food bank operations easement approved by this Ordinance, shall not be construed as a cessation of use by the Seattle-King County department of public health for purposes of King County Resolution 21374.
6.  The White Center Food Bank operated and maintained a food bank in White Center on King County Housing Authority property for many years, but it has been necessary to remove it in order for the housing authority to redevelop Park Lake Homes into the new Greenbridge community.
7.  The King County council in Ordinance 15222 authorized the Executive to apply for a Community Development Block Grant federally-guaranteed loan of $6.85 million to assist the housing authority with the Greenbridge redevelopment.  Of this amount, $500,000 is intended for the replacement of the White Center Food Bank.
8.  The Seattle-King County department of public health is responsible for the operation and management of the building, facilities and grounds of the southwest district department of public health office.  The food bank and distribution facility will be located on a portion of the property managed by the department of public health as depicted on Attachment A to this ordinance.  The food bank and distribution facility will be operated by a bona fide nonprofit organization and provide services to the poor and infirm.
9.  The food bank facility and operations will not interfere with client access to the department of public health office, and its services will complement the department of public health's women, infants and children nutrition program.
10.  The food bank and distribution easement will terminate fifteen years after the date of execution with provisions that would limit duration if grantee fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the easement and if it is determined that the facility no longer serves the public interests.
11.  The easement request has been referred to the relevant county departments for review.
12.  The King County executive has recommended approval of this easement request.
13.  The King County real estate service section have reviewed and approved the food bank and distribution easement.
14.  The King County prosecuting attorney's office has approved the easement as to form.
15.  The King County council finds that the granting of this easement would not interfere with the use of the county property for health related purposes or park purposes, and the area is surplus to the county's present and foreseeable needs.
