SECTION 1. Findings:
A. In 1974, King County ("the county") leased property from the Vashon school district ("the district") for forty years, and as part of Forward Thrust, the county constructed the Vashon Pool ("the pool") on the leased property. The pool is an outdoor, summer pool which typically opens every June.
B. As a result of the county's fiscal challenges, pool operations could not be funded in the county's 2010 budget.
C. The county has reached an agreement with the district that will support the reopening of the Pool to provide recreational opportunities to the public at minimal expense to the county by transferring ownership of the pool to the district.
D. The district, in turn, intends to enter into an agreement with the Vashon park district to operate the pool.
E. The agreement between the county and the district provides that the county will contribute $75,000 toward pool operations to provide recreational opportunities to the public.
F. The partnership between the county, the Vashon school district and the Vashon park district will enable the pool to continue to provide public recreational opportunities, despite significant fiscal challenges.
SECTION 2. The King County executive is hereby authorized to enter into the
Intergovernmental Transfer Agreement between King County and the Vashon School District substantially in the form of Attachment A to this ordinance.
