Dear Mr. Hodgson:
On Thursday, February 8, the Metropolitan King County Council's Utilities and Natural
Resources Committee acted on the interlocal agreements transferring the ownership of certain
parks to the City of Kent. The Committee wanted to know under what circumstances would
the language in Section 1.2 of the agreement (attached) allow the City to charge higher fees to
non-City users of the parks being transferred. In response to the Committee's request, this
letter clarifies the County's understanding of how Section 1.2 applies to the City's use of
differential fees.
The language used in Section 1.2 was taken from an adopted interlocal transfer agreement
between King County and the City of Des Moines. The purpose of the language was to
acknowledge that the parks being transferred were paid for by all King County residents
through the Forward Thrust Bond program and, therefore, all King County residents should
have equal access to the facilities. At that time, the City of Des Moines was planning to
impose a utility tax dedicated specifically to park and recreation services and argued that their
residents were taxing themselves at a higher level and that it would be equitable for non-City
users to also pay more to use park facilities and services.
The County agreed that if a City taxes itself at a higher rate to specifically fund operation
and/or maintenance of park and recreation services, it should be allowed to charge higher fees
to non-City park users, since they are not subject to the higher dedicated taxes. Other
examples of dedicated funding sources for park and recreation services include (but are not
limited to) O&M levies and local option levy lid lifts for O&M. Differential fees would not be
allowed for capital investments (e.g. capital bonds or capital levies).
