Agreement
Item - 2
No Motion Required/Information Only
Summary:
King County Assistant Public Works Director, Kevin Kiernan, will provide a
presentation on the Solid Waste — Interlocal Agreement (SW-ILA) that has been in
the making for the last two years. The ILA would be between King County and
Cities that contract with King County to dispose of waste at Cedar Hills Landfill.
The Metropolitan Solid Waste Management Advisory Committee (MSWMAC) started
the process of updating/adding to the text to amend the current SW-ILA which will
expire in June 2028. The Sound Cities Association assisted with fine-tuning liability
language which had been a major sticking point and slowed down MSWMAC's
progress considerably until this was resolved on December 19, 2012, resulting in the
final SW-ILA.
The urgency for the signing of the Interlocal Agreement is to facilitate the County
issuing lower interest rate, 20 year bonds necessary to continue upgrading the
various transfer stations as agreed to in the "2007 Transfer Station Plan" while
keeping costs for rate payers as low as possible. The existing agreement expires in
2028, which would eliminate the option for long-term (greater than 15 year) bond
financing.
Budget Impact:
None

The Honorable Suzette Cook
Mayor, City of Kent
220 4th Ave S.
Kent, WA 98032
Dear Mayor Cook:
With this letter I am transmitting to you the Amended and Restated Solid)Paste Inierlocal
Agreement(new ILA)for your review and approval. As you may know, King County (County)
and the Metropolitan Solid Waste Management Advisory Commnittee,have been working
together over the past two years to extend the Solid Waste Interlocal Agreement of 1988(original
ILA),which your City has signed. After intensive negotiations, a'eam of City and County
representatives has reached agreement on a new ILA that will foster cooperation in our regional
solid waste systein. This agreement extends the original ILA by 12.5 years, from June 2028
through December 2040, which will keep rates lower by allowing for longer-term bonding for
capital projects.
The new ILA includes several significant enhancements over the original ILA. It deals much
more effectively with liability, establishing a protocol for payment of Environmental Liabilities,
if and when they arise, including insurance and reserves. The intent to protect both City and
County general funds from Environmental Liabilities to the greatest extent feasible is explicit.
Other improvements over the original ILA include:
® Commitment to the continued involvement of the Metropolitan Solid Waste
Advisory Committee (MSWAC)
® An expanded role for Cities in system planning, including long-term disposal
alternatives and in establishing financial policies
® A dispute resolution process, which includes non-binding mediation
® An acknowledgment that solid waste facilities are regional facilities and host
cities and neighboring cities may receive mitigation for impacts
Also included with this transmittal is a non-binding statement of interest. We are requesting this
non-binding statement from each City as to whether you are interested in signing the new ILA.

In order to develop, in collaboration with MS WAC, financial policies that will affect the next

Amended and Restated.Solid Waste Interlocal Agreement
between King County and Cities
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the timefrome for Cities to adopt the new ILA?
By mid-2014 the Solid Waste Division will propose rates for the 2015/16 rate period. Financial
policies developed in collaboration with the Metropolitan Solid Waste Advisory Committee will
inform the rate study. To allow sufficient time to develop those policies and complete the rate
study,the County needs each City to act on the ILA by April 30, 2013.
2. What is the purpose of the non-binding statement of interest?
The County is asking each City to provide a non-binding statement of interest that indicates
likely participation in the new ILA by January 31,2013. This information will be helpful to the
County as it moves forward with a variety of planning efforts, including updating the Draft
Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan.
3. What are the capital project financing needs in 2013 and 2014?
Presently,the division has$75 million in Bond Anticipation Notes (BANS)that will expire on
February 28, 2012. Those BANS will be converted to long-term bonds. Later in 2013,an
additional$13 million will be required for anticipated capital project expenditures. In 2014, it is
anticipated that$35 million will be needed.
4. How does City participation in the new ILA affect capital project financing?
Financing for transfer system capital improvements will be primarily by long-term bonds.
Ensuring adequate revenue to repay the bonds is critical and that revenue is directly dependent
on City participation in the system. If enough cities sign the extended ILA,the County will issue
bonds of 20 years or longer(out to 2040),which will mean lower per ton fees. Conversely, if
cities do not choose to extend the ILA, bonds will only be issued out to 2028,which will increase
rates. A mix of longer and shorter bonds may be possible if some cities extend the ILA and
others do not,
5. What are the implications for a City that chooses not to sign the new ILA?
Cities that choose to remain with the original ILA that expires in 2028 will pay rates that include
the additional amount needed to pay forthe shorter bonds. The additional amount will be in
the range of$7 to$9 per ton. Cities that choose to remain with the original ILA will also not
receive the benefits of the new ILA, including those related to potential environmental liability.
6. How long do cities have to adopt the new ILA?
In order to move forward with development of financial policies that will inform the 2015/16
rate period and other planning efforts,the County needs each City by April 30, 2013 to decide
whetherto sign the new ILA.
7. How would insurance coverage and liability reserves be established?
The insurance coverage and liability reserves provided for under the new ILA would be
established based on what is commercially available and determined appropriate in consultation
with the Metropolitan Solid Waste Advisory Committee (MSWAC- note that the name of this
committee changes in the new ILA from the Metropolitan Solid Waste Management Advisory
Committee or MSWMAC).

Amended and Restated Solid Waste Interlocal Agreement
between King County and Cities
Frequently Asked Questions
B. Does this ILA lock Cities into the current Transfer System Plan?
No. In the new ILA the County commits to provide facilities and services pursuant to adopted
plans.The ILA also acknowledges that plans for transfer station improvements may be modified.
9. How does the ILA relate to the comprehensive solid waste management plan?
The ILA provides a framework for Cities and the County to work collaboratively to maintain and
update the comprehensive solid waste management plan and for adoption of the plan. Specific
policies, plans, and strategies are not included in the ILA.
i
10. What about disposal after Cedar Hills closes?
The ILA provides a framework for Cities and the County to plan for disposal post-Cedar Hills. At
least seven years before the date that the landfill is projected to close,the County will seek
advice and input from MSWAC and others on disposal alternatives.
11. Does the new ILA address Cedar Hills landfill rent?
The ILA establishes a clear process for rent for Cedar Hills, limiting when rental payments can be
changed, requiring a certified appraisal process be followed, and seeking review and comment
from the Cities. It clearly states that the solid waste system shall not pay rent to the general
fund for use of other county properties for transfer stations.
12. What if my City has more questions about this new ILA?
If you have any questions or would like to schedule a briefing, please call or email Pat
McLaughlin at 206-296-4385 or pat.mclaughlln@kingcounty.gov.

Part I: Contract Term, Capital Financing, and Ability to Terminate Agreement in Advance
Contract Term ILA is extended 12.5 years,through December 2040.
As of June 2012,there would be 28.5 years remaining on the contract.

improvement plan?
Disposal Fees(tonnage Significantly lower cost perton is possible as compared to the "no extension' option
rates) The longerthe term,the higherthe total price paid for the improvements (more
interest paid).
Negotiated ILA Extension An ILA extension is likely to be necessary at some point during the term of the
amended ILA in order to accommodate a cost-effective long-term disposal solution
after Cedar Hills closes.
The ILA will include language describing the parties' intent to enter into negotiations
to extend the ILA before Cedar Hills closes, but after such time as the region has
made a decision on the long-term disposal option;that decision will require
amending the Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan (CSWMP). The parties
could choose to begin the negotiations before ratification of the CSWMP
amendment is complete.
The amended ILA cannot compel either party to agree to a future extension of the
term.
If Cedar Hills closes on The County would have to provide disposal at another location for 15 years (2025
schedule(2025),what through 2040). The City will continue to be part of the County system during that

Early Termination No.
Will cities have the ability to If a city has the ability to terminate the ILA early,the County will, in exchange, need
terminate the ILA early? to be able to recoup from that city, at a minimum, all the debt service costs
associated with the terminating city's share of the transfer station system upgrades.

station system improvements is likely to be so expensive that no city would choose

agree to extend the ILA? Non-extending cities would be charged rates to ensure their portion of transfer
station debt is fully repaid by June 2028. As a result,their rates would be $7-$9 per
ton higher than for cities extending the ILA.
Part 2: Governance
Cities Advisory Committee The Cities advisory committee (MSWMAC) is memorialized within the ILA as the
Metropolitan Solid Waste Advisory Committee (MSWAC). Its structure and
operations are no longer controlled by County Code. It has the same composition,
same rules as today:
e Each city may appoint a delegate and alternates to MSWAC.
• MSWAC retains its existing responsibilities.
® MSWAC will elect a chair and vice-chair,and adopt its own bylaws.
® MSWAC will be staffed by the County.
® MSWAC remains an advisory body. It will coordinate with the Solid Waste
Advisory Committee (SWAC) and provide advice to SWAG as it deems
appropriate. MSWAC will also provide recommendations to the County
Executive, County Council, and other entities.
The County agrees to consider and respond on a timely basis to questions and issues
from MSWAC, including but not limited to development of efficient and accountable
billing practices.
Regional Policy Committee - The role of the RPC is not affected by the amended and restated ILA.The RPC will
(RPC) retain its current charter role in acting on Comprehensive Solid Waste Management
Plan (CSWMP)amendments and financial policies. Its existing responsibilities as the
Solid Waste Interlocal Forum will continue through the end of the current ILA in
June 2028. After 2028 those responsibilities will go to the RPC.

Communicate any plan, contract, dispute, use of environmental liability funds or other solid waste
issue that could have potential significant impacts on the City and/or Cities,the
County and/orthe regional solid waste system.
Emergency planning The County and the cities will coordinate on the development of emergency plans
related to solid waste, including but not limited to debris management.
Grants The ILA will include a provision confirming that grants to cities in support of
programs that benefit the Solid Waste system are a permissible use of system
revenues.
Mitigation The ILA will acknowledge that solid waste facilities are regional facilities and host
cities and neighboring cities may sustain impacts forwhich there are three types of
mitigation:
1. When new facilities are sited, or existing facilities are reconstructed, mitigation
will be determined with advance input from host communities and neighboring
cities, and per state law. The County will collaborate with potential host cities
and neighboring cities in advance of both the environmental review and
permitting processes, including seeking advance input from such cities as to
potential impacts that should be addressed in scoping of environmental
studies/documents,or in developing permit applications.
2. With respect to existing facilities,the County will continue the full range of
operational mitigation activities required under law (odor and noise control,
maintenance, litter cleanup,etc.).
3. The ILA will recognize the rights of cities to charge the County for direct impacts
from operations consistent with State law (RCW 36.58.080), Cities that believe
they are entitled to such mitigation may request the County undertake technical
studies to determine the extent of such impacts;the County will undertake
analysis it determines is reasonable and appropriate. The costs of such studies
will be System costs. Dispute resolution would occur per the state statute
provision, rather than the ILA dispute resolution provisions.
Cities retain their full regulatory authority with respect to design, construction or
operation of facilities within their jurisdiction.

Financial Policies
The County will develop financial policies to guide the Division's operations and

through discussion with MSWAC, RPC, the County Executive and the County Council.
Such policies will periodically be codified at the same time as CSWMP updates, but
may be adopted from time to time as appropriate outside the CSWMP update cycle.
Dispute Resolution
The ILA will replace the current dispute resolution provisions involving State DOE
(State DOE is not willing to serve the role ascribed to it in the current ILA) with more
standard provisions, similar to those used in other multi -party County ILAs. In event
of a dispute, the first step will be for staff from the parties to meet. If the issue is
not resolved, then the City Manager/Administrator from the city(ies) and the
County Executive will meet, If the issue is still not resolved, non -binding mediation
may be pursued if any party so chooses, priorto pursuing formal legal action. All
cities will be notified of disputes at each step, and may join the dispute if they so
choose. Costs of mediation will be split, with the cities (all those participating in the
matter) paying half of the costs and the County paying half of the costs.

Liability
SCA Principles as agreed to by Executive Constantine form the basis forth
Environmental Liability section. The County and the Cities agree that System -related
costs, including environmental liabilities, should be funded by System revenues
which include but are not limited to insurance proceeds, grants and rates. A
protocol for payment of liabilities if and when they arise is established including:
e Insurance, if commercially available with cities as additional insured
e Any reserves established for environmentalliability shall survive for 30 years
after the closure of the Cedar Hills Landfill.
• Grants to the extent available
6 Developing a financial plan including a rate schedule in consultation with MSWAC
Specific language is included indicating it is the intent of the parties to protect their
general funds from Environmental Liabilities to the greatest extent feasible.
Severability
Team agreed not to include a severability section. Effect is that in the event one
section of the contract is found to be invalid the Parties will need to meet to discuss
how to remedy the issue
Survivability
No obligations of the agreement shall survive the expiration of the contract except
portions of the liability section including:
• A three year obligation for tort related operational liability
® Any insurance in effect at the end of the agreement shall continue for the
term of the policy
• Reserve fund is retained for 30 years following Cedar Hills closure
Flow Control
Language in Section 6.2 is simplified to state "The City shall cause to be delivered to
the County disposal system.." It does not specify what means the City shall use to
accomplish this.
County Commitment to
Section 6.1.g is amended to state "The County shall provide facilities and services
Transfer Station Plan
pursuant to the Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan and the5olid Waste
Transfer and Waste Management Plan as adopted..."
Long -Term Bonds
Section 6.1.f includes "The County shall primarily use long term bonds to finance
transfer system improvements." This recognizes that in the past these
improvements have been partially funded by cash. This section also includes a
commitment to develop, through discussions with MSWAC, financial policies.

AMENDED AND RESTATED SOLID
INTERLOCAL O, AGREEMENT
This Amended and Restated Solid Waste Interlocal Agreement ("Agreement") is entered
into between King County, a political subdivision of the State of Washington and the City of _
, a municipal corporation of the State of Washington, hereinafter referred
to as "County" and "City" respectively. Collectively, the County and the City are referred to as
the "Parties." This Agreement has been authorized by the legislative body of each jurisdiction
pursuant to formal action as designated below:
King County: Ordinance No.
City:
PREAMBLE
A. This Agreement is entered into pursuant to chapter 39.34 RCW for the purpose of
extending, restating and amending the Solid Waste Interlocal Agreement between the
Parties originally entered into in (the "Original Agreement'). The Original
Agreement provided for the cooperative management of Solid Waste in King County for
a term of forty (40) years, through June 30, 2028. The Original Agreement is superseded
by this Amended and Restated Agreement, as of the effective date of this Agreement -
This Amended and Restated Agreement is effective for an additional twelve (12) years
through December 31, 2040.
B. The Parties intend to continue to cooperatively manage Solid Waste and to work
collaboratively to maintain and periodically update the existing King County
- I -
36'
Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan (Comprehensive Plan) adopted pursuant
to chapter 70.95 RCW.
C. The Parties continue to support the established goals of Waste Prevention and Recycling
as incorporated in the Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan, and to meet or
surpass applicable environmental standards with regard to the Solid Waste System.
D. The County and the Cities agree that System -related costs, including environmental
liabilities, should be funded by System revenues which include but are not limited to
insurance proceeds, grants and rates;
E. The County, as the service provider, is in the best position to steward fiords System
revenues that the County and the Cities intend to be available to pay for environmental
liabilities; and
F. The County and the Cities recognize that at the time this Agreement goes into effect, it is
impossible to lmow what the ultimate environmental liabilities could be; nevertheless, the
County and the Cities wish to designate in this Agreement a protocol for the designation
and distribution of funding for potential future environmental liabilities in order to protect
the general funds of the County and the Cities.
G. The County began renting the Cedar Hills Landfill from the State of Washington in 1960
and began using it for Disposal of Solid Waste in 1964. The County acquired ownership
of the Cedar Hills Landfill from the State in 1992. The Cedar Hills Landfill remains an
asset owned by the County.
H. The Parties expect that the Cedar Hills Landfill will be at capacity and closed at some
date during the tern of this Agreement, after which time all Solid Waste under this
Agreement will need to be disposed of through alternate means, as determined by the
- 2 -
37
Cities and the County through amendments to the Comprehensive Solid Waste
Management Plan. The County currently estimates the useful life of the Cedar Hills
Landfill will extend through 2025. It is possible that this useful life could be extended, or
shortened, by System management decisions or factors beyond the control of the Parties.
I. The County intends to charge rent for the use of the Cedar Hills Landfill for so long as
the System uses this general fund asset and the Parties seek to clarify terms relative to the
calculation of the associated rent.
J. The County and Cities participating in the System have worked collaboratively for
several years to develop a plan for the replacement or upgrading of a series of transfer
stations. The Parties acknowledge that these transfer station improvements, as they may
be modified from time -to -time, will benefit Cities that are part of the System and the
County. The Parties have determined that the extension of the tern of the Original
Agreement by twelve (12) years as accomplished by this Agreement is appropriate in
order to facilitate the long-term financing of transfer station improvements and to
mitigate rate impacts of such financing.
K. The Parties have further detennined that in order to equitably allocate the benefit to all
System Users from the transfer station improvements, different customer classes may be
established by the County to ensure System Users do not pay a disproportionate share of
the cost of these improvements as a result of a decision by a city not to extend the term of
the Original Agreement.
L. The Parties have further determined it is appropriate to strengthen and formalize the
advisory role of the Cities regarding System operations.

VII. COUNTY SHALL SET DISPOSAL RATES
AND OPERATING RULES FOR DISPOSAL; USE OF SYSTEM REVENUES
7.1 In establishing Disposal Rates for System Users, the County shall consult with
MSWAC consistent with Section DC. The County may adopt and amend by ordinance rates
necessary to recover all costs of the System including but not limited to operations and
maintenance, costs for handling, processing and Disposal of Solid Waste, siting, design and
construction of facility upgrades or new facilities, Recycling, education and mitigation, planning,
Waste Prevention, reserve funds, financing, defense and payment of claims, insurance, System
liabilities including environmental releases, monitoring and closure of landfills which are or
were operated by the County, property acquisition, grants to cities, and administrative functions
necessary to support the System and Solid Waste handling services during emergencies as
established by local, state and federal agencies or for any other lawful solid waste purpose, and
in accordance with chapter 43.09.210 RCW. Revenues from Disposal rates shall be used only for
such purposes. The County shall establish classes of customers for Solid Waste management
services and by ordinance shall establish rates for classes of customers.
7.2. It is understood and agreed that System costs include payments to the County
general fund for Disposal of Solid Waste at the Cedar Hills Landfill calculated in accordance
with this Section 7.2, and that such rental payments shall be established based on use valuations
provided to the County by an independent -third party Member, Appraisal Institute (MAI)
certified appraiser selected by the County in consultation with MSWAC.
- 12 -
C f1
7.2.a A use valuation shall be prepared consistent with MAT accepted principles
for the purpose of quantifying the value to the System of the use of Cedar Hills Landfill for
Disposal of Solid Waste over a specified period of time (the valuation period). The County shall
establish a schedule of annual use charges for the System's use of the Cedar Hills Landfill which
shall not exceed the most recent use valuation. Prior to establishing the schedule of annual use
charges, the County shall seek review and continent as to both the use valuation and the
proposed payment schedule from MS WAC. Upon request, the County will share with and
explain to MSWAC the information the appraiser requests for purposes of developing the
appraiser's recommendation.
7.2.b Use valuations and the underlying schedule of use charges shall be
updated if there are significant changes in Cedar Hills Landfill capacity as a result of opening
new Disposal areas and as determined by revisions to the existing Cedar Hills Regional Landfill
Site Development Plan; in that event, an updated appraisal will be performed in compliance with
MAl accepted principles. Otherwise, a reappraisal will not occur. Assuming a revision in the
schedule of use charges occurs based on a revised appraisal, the resulting use charges shall be
applied beginning in the subsequent rate period.
7.2.c The County general fund shall not charge use fees or receive other
consideration from the System for the System's use of any transfer station property in use as of
the effective date of this Agreement. The County further agrees that the County general fund
may not receive payments from the System for use of assets to the extent those assets are
acquired with System revenues. As required by chapter 43.09.210 RCW, the System's use of
assets acquired with the use of other separate County funds (e.g., the Roads Fund, or other funds)
- 13 -

will be subject to use charges; similarly, the System will charge other County funds for use of
System property.
VIII. LIABILITY
8.1 Non -Environmental Liability Arising Out -of -County Operations. Except as
provided in this Section, Sections 8.5 and 8.6, the County shall indemnify and hold harmless the
City and shall have the right and duty to defend the City through the County's attorneys against
any and all claims arising out of the County's operations during the term of this Agreement and
settle such claims, provided that all fees, costs, and expenses incurred by the County thereby are
System costs which may be satisfied from Disposal Rates as provided in Section VII herein. In
providing such defense of the City, the County shall exercise good faith in such defense or .
settlement so as to protect the City's interest. For purposes of this Section "claims arising out of
the County's operations" shall mean claims arising out of the ownership, control, or maintenance
of the System, but shall not include claims arising out of the City's operation of motor vehicles in
connection with the System or other activities under the control of the City which may be
incidental to the County's operation. The provisions of this Section shall not apply to claims
arising out of the sole negligence or intentional acts of the City. The provisions of this Section
shall survive for claims brought within three (3) years past the term of this Agreement
established under Section III.
8.2 Cooperation. In the event the County acts to defend the City against a claim under
Section 8.1, the City shall cooperate with the County.
8.3 Officers, Agents, and Employees. For purposes of this Section VIII, references to
City or County shall be deemed to include the officers, employees and agents of either Party,
- 14 -
M.
acting within the scope of their authority. Transporters or generators of waste who are not
officers or employees of the City or County are not included as agents of the City or County for
purposes of this Section.
8.4 Each Party by mutual negotiation hereby waives, with respect to the other Party
only, any immunity that would otherwise be available against such claims under the Industrial
Insurance provisions of Title 51 RC W.
8.5 Unacceptable Waste
8.5.a All waste generated or collected from within the corporate limits of the
City which is delivered to the System for Disposal shall be in compliance with the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (42 U.S.C. § 6901 et seq.) (RCRA), chapters 70.95 and 70.105
RCW, King County Code Title 10, Ding County Board of Health Rules and Regulations, the
Solid Waste Division operating rules, and all other Federal, State and local environmental health
laws, rules or regulations that impose restrictions or requirements on the type of waste that may
be delivered to the System, as they now exist or are hereafter adopted or amended.
8.5.b For purposes of this Agreement, the City shall be deemed to have
complied with the requirements of Subsection 8.5.a if it has adopted an ordinance requiring
waste delivered to the System for Disposal to meet the laws, rules, or regulations specified in
Subsection 8.5.a. However, nothing in this Agreement is intended to relieve the City from any
obligation or liability it may have under the laws mentioned in Subsection 8.5.a arising out of the
City's actions other than adopting, enforcing, or requiring compliance with said ordinance, such
as liability, if any exists, of the City as a transporter or generator for improper transport or
Disposal of regulated dangerous waste. Any environmental liability the City may have for
- 15 -
50
releases of pollutants or hazardous or dangerous substances or wastes to the environment is dealt
with under Sections 8.6 and 8.7.
8.5.c The City shall hold hannless, indemnify and defend the County for any
property damages or personal injury caused solely by the City's failure to adopt an ordinance
under Subsection 8.5.b. In the event the City acts to defend the County under this Subsection, the
County shall cooperate with the City.
MA The City shall make best efforts to include language in its contracts,
franchise agreements, or licenses for the collection of Solid Waste within the City that allow for
enforcement by the City against the collection contractor, franchisee or licensee for violations of
the laws, rules, or regulations in Subsection 8.5.a. The requirements of this Subsection 8.5.d shall
apply to the City's first collection contract, franchise, or license that becomes effective or is
amended after the effective date of this Agreement.
8.5.d.i If waste is delivered to the System in violation of the laws;
rules, or regulations in Subsection 8.5.a, before requiring the City to take any action under
Subsection 8.5.d.ii, the County will make reasonable efforts to determine the parties' responsible
for the violation and will work with those parties to correct the violation, consistent with
applicable waste clearance and acceptance rules, permit obligations, and any other legal
requirements.
8.5.d.ii If the violation is not corrected under Subsection 8.5.d.i and
waste is determined by the County to have been generated or collected from within the corporate
limits of the City, the County shall provide the City with written notice of the violation. Upon
such notice, the City shall take immediate steps to remedy the violation and prevent similar
future violations to the reasonable satisfaction of the County which may include but not be
16
limited to removing the waste and disposing of it in an approved facility; provided that nothing
in this Subsection 8.5.d.ii shall obligate the City to handle regulated dangerous waste, as defined
in WAC 173-351-200(1)(b)(i), and nothing in this Subsection shall relieve the City of any
obligation it may have apart from this Agreement to handle regulated dangerous waste. If, in
good faith, the City disagrees with the County regarding the violation, such dispute shall be
resolved between the Parties using the Dispute Resolution process in Section XII or, if
immediate action is required to avoid an imminent threat to public health, safety or the
environment, in King County Superior Court. Each Party shall be responsible for its own
attorneys' fees and costs. Failure of the City to take the steps requested by the County pending
Superior Court resolution shall not be deemed a violation of this Agreement; provided, however,
that this shall not release the City for damages or loss to the County arising out of the failure to
take such steps if the Court finds a City violation of the requirements to comply with applicable
laws set forth in Subsection 8.5.a.
8.6 Environmental Liability.
8.6.a Neither the County nor the City holds harmless or indemnifies the other
with regard to any liability arising under 42 U.S.C. § 9601-9675 (CERCLA) as amended by the
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) or as hereafter amended or
pursuant to chapter 70.105D RCW (MTCA) or as hereafter amended and any state legislation
imposing liability for System -related cleanup of contaminated property from the release of
pollutants or hazardous or dangerous substances and/or damages resulting from property
contaminated from the release of pollutants or hazardous or dangerous substances
("Environmental Liabilities").
52
8.6.b Nothing in this Agreement is intended to create new Environmental
Liability nor release any third -party from Environmental Liability. Rather, the intent is to protect
the general funds of the Parties to this Agreement by ensuring that, consistent with best business
practices, an adequate portion of Disposal Rates being collected from the System Users are set
aside and accessible in a fair and equitable manner to pay the respective County and City's
Environmental Liabilities.
8.6.c The purpose of this Subsection is to establish a protocol for the setting
aside, and subsequent distribution of, Disposal Rates intended to pay for Environmental
Liabilities of the Parties, if and when such liabilities should arise, in order to safeguard the
Parties' general funds. To do so, the County shall:
8.6.c.i Use Disposal Rates to obtain and maintain, to the extent
commercially available under reasonable terms, insurance coverage for System -related
Environmental Liability that names the City as an Additional Insured. The County shall establish
the adequacy, amount and availability of such insurance in consultation with MSWAC. Any
insurance policy in effect on the termination date of this Agreement with a term that extends past
the termination date shall be maintained until the end of the policy term.
8.6.c.ii Use Disposal Rates to establish and maintain a reserve fund to
help pay the Parties' Environmental Liabilities not already covered by System rates or insurance
maintained under Subsection 8.6.e.i above ("Environmental Reserve Fund"). The County shall
establish the adequacy of the Environmental Reserve Fund in consultation with MSWAC and
consistent with the financial policies described in Article VI. The County shall retain the
Environmental Reserve Fund for a minimum of 30 years following the closure of the Cedar Bills
Landfill (the "Retention Period"). During the Retention Period, the Environmental Reserve Fund
- 1H -
53
shall be used solely for the purposes for which it was established under this Agreement. Unless
otherwise required by law, at the end of the Retention Period, the County and Cities shall agree
as to the disbursement of any amounts remaining in the Environmental Reserve Fund. If unable
to agree, the County and City agree to submit disbursement to mediation and if unsuccessful to
binding arbitration in a manner similar to Section 39.34.180 RCW to the extent permitted by law.
8.6.c.iii Pursue state or federal grant funds, such as grants from the
Local Model Toxics Control Account under chapter 70.105D.070(3) RCW and chapter 173-322
WAC, or other state or federal funds as may be available and appropriate to pay for or remediate
such Environmental Liabilities.
8.6.d If the funds available under Subsections 8.6.c.i-iii are not adequate to
completely satisfy the Environmental Liabilities of the Parties to this Agreement then to the
extent feasible and permitted by taw, the County will establish a financial plan including a rate
schedule to help pay for the County and City's remaining Environmental Liabilities in
consultation with MS WAC.
8.6.e The County and the City shall act reasonably and quickly to utilize funds
collected or set aside through the means specified in Subsections 8.6.c.i-iii and 8.6.d to conduct
or finance response or clean-up activities in order to limit the County and City's exposure, or in
order to comply with a consent decree, administrative or other legal order. The County shall
notify the City within 30 days of any use of the reserve fund established in 8.6.c.iii.
8.6.17 In any federal or state regulatory proceeding, and in any action for
contribution, money expended by the County from the funds established in Subsections 8.6.c.i-iii
and 8.6.d. to pay the costs of remedial investigation, cleanup, response or other action required
- 19 -
!-M
pursuant to a state or federal laws or regulations shall be considered by the Parties to have been
expended on behalf and for the benefit of the County and the Cities.
8.6.g In the event that the funds established as specified in Subsections 8.6.c.i-iii
and 8.6.d are insufficient to cover the entirety of the County and Cities' collective Environmental
Liabilities, the funds described therein shall be equitably allocated between the County and
Cities to satisfy their Environmental Liabilities. Factors to be considered in determining
"equitably allocated" may include the size of each Party's System User base and the amount of
rates paid by that System User base into the funds, and the amount of the Solid Waste generated
by the Parties' respective System Users. Neither the County nor the Cities shall receive a benefit
exceeding their Environmental Liabilities.
8.7 The County shall not charge or seek to recover from the City any costs or
expenses for which the County indemnified the State of Washington in Exhibit A to the
Quitclaim Deed from the State to the County for the Cedar Hills Landfill, dated February 24,
1993, to the extent such costs are not included in System costs.

11.6.b The Comprehensive Plan is approved by cities representing three-quarters
of the population of the incorporated population of jurisdictions that are parties to the Forum
Interlocal Agreement. In calculating the three-quarters, the calculations shall consider only those
incorporated jurisdictions taking formal action to approve or disapprove the Comprehensive Plan
within 120 days of receipt of the Plan. The 120-day time period shall begin to run from receipt
by an incorporated jurisdiction of the Forum's recommendation on the Comprehensive Plan, or,
if the Forum is unable to make a recommendation, upon receipt of the Comprehensive Plan from
the Forum without recommendation.
11.7 Should the Comprehensive Plan be approved by the King County Council, but not
receive approval of three-quarters of the cities acting on the Comprehensive Plan, and should
King County and the cities be unable to resolve their disagreement, then the Comprehensive Plan

X11. MITIGATION
12.1 The County will design, construct and operate Solid Waste facilities in a manner
to mitigate their impact on host Cities and neighboring communities pursuant to applicable law
and regulations.
12.2 The Parties recognize that Solid Waste facilities are regional facilities. The
County further recognizes that host Cities and neighboring communities may sustain impacts
which can include but are not limited to local infrastructure, odor, traffic into and out of Solid
Waste facilities, noise and litter.
12.3 Collaboration in Environmental Review. In the event the County is the sole or co -
Lead Agency, then prior to malting a threshold determination under the State Environmental
Policy Act (SEPA), the County will provide a copy of the SEPA environmental checklist, if any,
and proposed SEPA threshold determination to any identifiable Host City (as defined below) and
adjacent or neighboring city that is signatory to the Agreement and that may be affected by the
- 25 -
M
project ("Neighboring City") and seek their input. For any facility for which the County prepares
an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), the County will meet with any identified potential
Host City (as defined below) and any Neighboring City to seek input on the scope of the EIS and
appropriate methodologies and assumptions in preparing the analyses supporting the EIS.
However, nothing in this Section shall limit or impair the County's ability to timely complete the
environmental review process.
12.4 Collaboration in Proiect Permitting. If a new or reconstructed Solid Waste facility
is proposed to be built within the boundaries of the City ("Host City") and the project requires
one or more "project permits" as defined in chapter 36.70B.020(4) RCW from the Host City,
before submitting its first application for any of the project permits, the County will meet with
the Host City and any Neighboring City, to seek input. However, nothing in this Section shall
limit or impair the County's ability to timely submit applications for or receive permits, nor
waive any pen -nit processing or appeal timelines.
12.5 Separately, the County and the City recognize that in accordance with 36.58,080
RCW, a city is authorized to charge the County to mitigate impacts directly attributable to a
County -owned Solid Waste facility. The County acknowledges that such direct costs include
wear and tear on infrastructure including roads. To the extent that the City establishes that such
charges are reasonably necessary to mitigate such impacts, payments to cover such impacts may
only be expended only to mitigate such impacts and are System costs. If the City believes that it
is entitled to mitigation under this Agreement, the City may request that the County undertake a
technical analysis regarding the extent of impacts authorized for mitigation. Upon receiving -such
a request, the County, in coordination with the City and any necessary technical consultants, will
develop any analysis that is reasonable and appropriate to identify impacts. The cost for such
26 -
61
analysis is a System cost. The City and County will work cooperatively to determine the
appropriate mitigation payments and will document any agreement in a Memorandum of
Agreement. If the City and the County cannot agree on mitigation payments, the dispute
resolution process under chapter 36.58.080 RCW will apply rather than the dispute resolution
process under Section XII of the Agreement.

Item - 3
Motion:
Move to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to accept the FY2012
Statewide Stormwater Grant in the amount of $75,000 for the James
Street Stormwater Outfall Retrofit Project and direct staff to establish a
budget for the funds, subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to
the City Attorney and Public Works Director.
Summary:
James Street east of Central Ave is very steep, with a 17-percent grade. Due to its
steep grade and the fact it is a major commuter route, James Street is a Priority
Level-1 for sanding during icy conditions. This project would reduce potential
impacts to Mill Creek by installing a large vault to catch sediment, preventing it from
entering Mill Creek. The vault structure will be monitored after storms to identify
when maintenance is needed, ensuring sand and sediment do not enter Mill Creek.
The Public Works Department anticipates construction of this project in spring of
2013 in conjunction with the James Street Pump Station Project. The State grant
funds cannot be billed until they have been accepted by the City Council.
Budget Impact:
The City will receive $75,000 of state funding for the James Street Stormwater
Outfall Retrofit Project. The project match, $25,000, is budgeted and will be paid
through the stormwater utility.

Testing the City's large water meters is important to ensure accuracy in measuring
water use. Water revenue generated from large meters is approximately 50% of
annual water revenues. It is important that we test the accuracy for water
customers to guarantee correct billing.
Testing ensures we meet the American Water Works Association (AWWA) standards
of plus or minus three percent accuracy. Over the two year contract Columbia Basin
Water Works will test and calibrate over one hundred large meters. Repairs will be
made as needed.

Subject: Boeing — Pacific Gateway Easement Releases
Item - 7
Motion:
Move to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to sign easement releases
for the Pacific Gateway property, subject to terms and conditions
acceptable to the City Attorney and Public Works Director.
Summary:
About 10 years ago Boeing platted a number of large parcels near its facility
on 212th Street, in anticipation of developing the area into warehouse/
industrial spaces. Several easements were granted to the city for utilities
that would have served these properties. Due to the slow economy utilities
and infrastructure were never constructed and the associated property was
not developed.
Subsequently, Boeing plans to sell the property to a developer who has
proposed warehouse/industrial development in a different configuration than
the original plan. Therefore, the existing easements are not needed and
require them to be cleared from the property title in order for the new
development to move forward.
