Title
AN ORDINANCE authorizing the executive to enter into an interlocal agreement between King County and the King Conservation District.
Body
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
1. The King Conservation District is a governmental subdivision of the state of Washington, organized under chapter 89.08 RCW to protect and conserve natural resources throughout King County.
2. The King County council has responsibilities under chapter 89.08 to approve a system of assessments, where those assessments, in the judgment of the council, do not exceed the benefit received by the land from the activities of the district, and where the public interest is served by the imposition of the assessment.
3. The county and the King Conservation District each have an interest in acting to preserve the natural resources of the region, and have numerous cooperative services and programs intended to support that purpose.
4. The county and the King Conservation District have historically defined their cooperative relationship by means of an interlocal agreement which describes the processes and mechanisms by which they will carry out their respective roles.
5. The tenure of the agreements and system of assessments, and the transmittal dates of the agreements, can periodically result in timelines for process and work products which are unnecessarily complex and problematic.
6. In order to rationalize the process leading to the consideration by the council of a recommended system of assessments for 2007, the work plan that describes projects and budgets should be transmitted to the council by July 15, 2006.
8. The attached interlocal agreement provides for a work plan transmittal date consistent with these needs.
