STATEMENT OF FACTS:
1. In 1997, King County entered into an interlocal agreement with the state of Washington, Snohomish county and the Port of Seattle to form a consortium to develop and operate a regional live-fire training facility for aviation training. In a separate memorandum of agreement among the parties and incorporated into the interlocal agreement, the Boeing Company was established as a full participant in the consortium for the regional fire facility. The facility is located in North Bend, Washington.
2. Consortium members pay two types of fees: use fees and premium fees. Use fees help pay for maintenance and operations costs of the facility. The premium fee has been split with half going to pay for maintenance and operations and half earmarked for eventual decommissioning of the facility at the end of its useful life. The amendment to the interlocal agreement and the memorandum of agreement will allow the entire premium fee to be used for maintenance and operations of the live-fire training facility.
3. The state of Washington has agreed to assume all costs and liability associated with decommissioning the facility when it reaches its life expectancy and to relieve the other consortium participants of this cost and liability. An amendment is required for both the interlocal agreement and the memorandum of agreement to reflect this change in fee usage and to accommodate this change in operations.
4. All the parties, with the exception of King County, have signed the interlocal agreement amendment and the memorandum of agreement amendment.
