LaPorte, P.E., Public Works Director Subject: Information Only/King County Solid Waste Interlocal 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 10 This page intentionally left blank. 11 a King County Department of Natural Resouroos and Parks Solid Waste Division December 28,2012 TO: The Honorable Suzette Cook,Mayor City of Kent RE: Request for Non-Binding Statement of Interest in signing an Amended and Restated Solid Waste Interlocal Agreement by January 31,2013 We are requesting a non-binding statement from each City as to whether you are interested in signing the Amended and Restated Solid Waste Interlocal Agreement.

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. 13 The Honorable Suzette Cook December 28, 2012 Page 2 I To accomplish this, we, are asking that you complete the attached form, indicating which option best represents your City's position at this time and email it to me by close of business January 31, 2013.

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). King County Solid Waste Division December 21, 2012 15 j 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. King County Solid Waste Division December 21, 2012 ,I 16 Amended and Restated Solid Waste Interlocal Agreement between King County and Cities Overview These briefing materials are intended to provide information to assist in Cities' review of the Amended and Restated Solid Waste Interlocal Agreement(new ILA). The County and the Metropolitan Solid Waste Management Advisory Committee have been working together overthe past two years to extend the Solid Waste Interlocal Agreement of 1988 (original ILA),which every City in King County,excluding Seattle and Milton, has signed. After intensive negotiations, a team of City and County representatives has reached agreement on a new ILA that will foster cooperation in our regional solid waste system.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.

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 happens if the ILA is not time. This is a relatively short time period and as a result the assumption is that extended again? costs would likely be considerably more expensive than disposal at Cedar Hills. 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. Not included because the cost of prepaying debt service for a city's share of transfer station system improvements is likely to be so expensive that no city would choose King County Solid Waste Division Page 1 of 5 December 21, 2012 27 Amended and Restated Solid Waste Interlocal Agreement between King County and Cities ILA Term Sheet to exercise this option. It would imply the city would prepay for a 50-year asset i after a few years, and,the terminating city would not be assured of having access to the system assets after leaving. What if some cities don't Non-extending cities would be in a different customer class than extending cities. 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.

Because The current ILA requires that of the difficulties of administering two different ratification processes if some cities jurisdictions representing extend and others do not, the current process was left unchanged. It has been used 75%of the contract city several times over the term of the agreement without significant problems, population must approve CSWMP changes.The 75% is determined based on those cities taking a position. Part 4: Other Issues Parties Obligations to The parties will endeavorto notify each other in the event of the development of 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.

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.

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. IX.

The Parties agree that Solid Waste System policies and plans shall continue to be deemed regional countywide policies - 22 - !-IFA and plans that shall be referred to the Regional Policy Committee for review consistent with King County Charter Section 270.30 and chapter 1.24 King County Code. XI. COMPREHENSIVE SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN 11.1 King County is designated to prepare the Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan (Comprehensive Plan) and this plan shall include the City's Solid Waste Management Comprehensive Plan pursuant to chapter 70.95.080(3) RCW. 11.2 The Comprehensive Plan shall be reviewed and any necessary revisions proposed. The County shall consult with MSWAC to determine when revisions are necessary. King County shall provide services and build facilities in accordance with the adopted Comprehensive Plan. 11.3 The Comprehensive Plans will promote Waste Prevention and Recycling in accordance with Washington State Solid Waste management priorities pursuant to chapter 70.95 RCW, at a minimum. 11.4 The Comprehensive Plans will be prepared in accordance with chapter 70.95 RCW and Solid Waste planning guidelines developed by the Department of Ecology. The plan shall include, but not be limited to: 11.4.a Descriptions of and policies regarding management practices and facilities required for handling all waste types; I l Ab Schedules and responsibilities for implementing policies; 11.4.e Policies concerning waste reduction, Recycling, Energy and Resource Recovery, collection, transfer, Ion, --haul transport, Disposal, enforcement and administration; and 11 A.d Operational plan for the elements discussed in Item c above. 11.5 The cost of preparation by King County of the Comprehensive Plan will be considered a cost of the System and financed out of the rate base. 11.6 The Comprehensive Plans will be "adopted" within the meaning of this Agreement when the following has occurred: . 11.6.a The Comprehensive Plan is approved by the King County Council; and 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 shall be referred to the State Department of Ecology and the State Department of Ecology will resolve any disputes regarding Comprehensive Plan adoption and adequacy by approving or disapproving the Comprehensive Plan or any part thereof. 11.8 King County shall determine which cities are affected by any proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. If any City disagrees with such determination, then the City can request that the Forum determine whether or not the City is affected. Such - 24 - 59 determination shall be made by a two-thirds majority vote of all representative members of the Forum. t 1.9 Should King County and the affected jurisdictions be unable to agree on amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, then the proposed amendments shall be referred to the Department of Ecology to resolve any disputes regarding such amendments. 11.10 Should there be any impasse between the Parties regarding Comprehensive Plan adoption, adequacy, or consistency or inconsistency or whether any permits or programs adopted or proposed are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, then the Department of Ecology shall resolve said disputes. 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.

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. 70 This page intentionally left blank. r&I `� KE a T WASH INGTON Date: December 21, 2012 PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT Timothy J.

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.
