2. In November 1987 King County voters approved the issuance of the bonds detailed in King County Ordinance 8196.
3. An interlocal cooperation agreement between King County and the PHPDA was entered into on April 17, 1991, pursuant to King County Motion 8222, to provide for the transfer of the bond proceeds related to the authority and to ensure compliance with federal law regarding the use of proceeds from tax-exempt bonds.
4. The Seattle-King County department of public health and the PHPDA, in consultation with the community health centers, have been in discussions since 1998 seeking to target resources from the PHPDA to persons in need of health care services and to clarify reporting requirements for the PHPDA.
