agency on behalf of each Party that is providing
Housing Capital Funds Account funding to the
project or program pursuant to this Agreement and
RCW 39 . 34 . 030 (4) , and will identify each
participating funding Party. The project
financing documents will be consistent with
general forms of agreement approved by the
Executive Board and the terms and conditions
approved by the legislative bodies of the funding
Parties . To the extent permitted by law, the
project financing agreements will incorporate all
terms and conditions relative to the use and (if
applicable) repayment of such funds, and provide
for transfer of the Housing Capital Funds Account
monies from the funding Parties to the developer.
iii . Funding contributions to, and repayments (if any)
from, specific projects and programs will be
15
SKHHP Interlocal Agreement February 06, 2019
recorded by the Administering Agency, including
recording of monies deposited and withdrawn from
each Party' s Individual Account and Project
Accounts . Repayments (if any) under any project
financing agreement will be applied pro rata to
the funding Parties' Individual Accounts based on
the ratio of funding contributed to the project
by each Party, unless the funding Parties
otherwise agree.
iv. Unless the Parties funding a project or program
through the Housing Capital Funds Account
otherwise agree, a default, termination or other
action against a developer or other third party
may be declared only after securing approval in
writing of the chief executive officers of
funding Parties which together have contributed
not less than 51% of the total SKHHP member
funding to the project . The Administering Agency
will provide reasonable notice and information
regarding the status of projects as necessary to
each funding Party' s chief executive officer to
allow them to make a timely decision in this
regard. Funding Parties not consenting to such
default, termination or other action will be
bound by the decision of the majority. All
funding Parties will be obligated on a pro rata
basis (based on their contributions to the
project) to pay to the Administering Agency its
reasonable costs and expenses incurred as a
result of declaring a default, terminating an
agreement or taking other action against a
developer or other third party. Any funds
recovered through such enforcement proceedings
will be allocated to the funding Parties
Individual Accounts pro rata based on their
respective funding contributions to a project .
V. The Executive Board may from time to time
authorize the Administering Agency to administer
housing project agreements entered into before
the effective date of this Agreement, upon terms
consistent with this Agreement and subject to the
consent of the Administering Agency and the
Parties to such agreements .
16
SKHHP Interlocal Agreement February 06, 2019
15 . DUES, ASSESSMENTS AND BUDGET AMENDMENTS . Contributions
to the SKHHP Operating fund will be based on groupings of like-
sized cities (based on population) , or whatever contribution
methodology is approved by a two-thirds majority of the
Executive Board. Funding for the activities of SKHHP will be
provided solely through the budgetary process . Unless otherwise
specified in this Agreement, no dues, charges or assessments
will be imposed or required of the Parties except upon unanimous
vote of the membership of the Executive Board and ratification
by the legislative body of each Party subject to the dues,
charges or assessments . An approved budget (the overall
revenues and expenditures) will not be modified until approved
by the legislative body of each Party and finally adopted by the
Executive Board. If a Party agrees to totally fund an additional
task to the work program, not currently approved in the budget,
the task may be added to the work plan and the budget amended to
reflect the funding of the total cost of such task by the
requesting Party, upon approval by a majority of the membership
of the Executive Board without approval by the individual
Parties . Notwithstanding the foregoing, contributions by a Party
to its Individual Account within the Housing Capital Funds
Account will be solely within the discretion of that Party and
are not considered "dues or assessments . "
16 . PUBLIC RECORDS REQUESTS . Records of SKHHP will be held
by the Administering Agency, in addition to any records the
Parties themselves may retain concerning their participation in
SKHHP. These records may include meeting agendas, meeting
summaries, reports, plans, budgets, and other documents .
When a Party receives a request for records that may be held by
the Administering Agency, the Party will refer the request to
its own Executive Board member. The Party' s Executive Board
member will then work with the Administering Agency to gather
all responsive records . The Party receiving the request should
work with its own public records staff (if any) to describe the
request with sufficient specificity to allow the Administrative
Agency to identify and provide the records being sought . If any
clarification of the request is required, the Party receiving
the request will obtain that clarification from the requester.
All communication with the requester will be by the Party to
whom the request was submitted.
In consultation with the Administering Agency, it will be the
responsibility of the Party to whom the request for records was
made to estimate the time it will need to produce responsive
records, determine which records are responsive to the request,
17
SKHHP Interlocal Agreement February 06 2019
and address any redactions permitted by law. The Party that
receives the request will bear the responsibility of complying
with the Public Records Act in relation to its public records .
Nothing in this Section is intended to require a Party to
collect or produce records that are not prepared, owned, used,
or retained by that Party as contemplated by the Public Records
Act .
17 . INDEMNIFICATION AND HOLD HARMLESS .
a. Each Party will indemnify, defend and hold other
Parties (including without limitation the Party serving as, and
acting in its capacity as, SKHHP' s Administering Agency) , their
officers, officials, agents and volunteers harmless from any
and all claims, injuries, damages, losses or suits including
attorney fees, arising out of that Party' s wrongful acts or
omissions in connection with the performance of its obligations
under this Agreement, except to the extent the injuries or
damages are caused by another Party. If there is any recovery
under this Section, the Party responsible for any wrongful acts
or omissions will pay any judgment or lien arising from the acts
or omissions, including all costs and other Parties' reasonable
attorney' s fees . If more than one Party is held to be at fault,
the obligation to indemnify and to pay costs and attorney' s
fees, will be only to the extent of the percentage of fault
allocated to each respective Party by a final judgment of the
court .
b. If a court of competent jurisdiction determine
that this Agreement is subject to RCW 4 . 24 . 115 , then, in the
event of liability for damages arising out of bodily injury to
persons or damages to property caused by or resulting from the
concurrent negligence of a Party (including without limitation
the Party serving as, and acting in its capacity as, SKHHP' s
Administering Agency) , its officers, officials, employees, and
volunteers, the Party' s liability hereunder will be only to the
extent of the Party' s negligence . It is further specifically
and expressly understood that the indemnification provided
herein constitutes the Party' s waiver of immunity under
Industrial Insurance Title 51 RCW, solely for the purpose of
this indemnification. This waiver has been mutually negotiated
by the Parties . The provisions of this Section will survive the
expiration or termination of this Agreement .
C . Each Party (including without limitation the
Party serving as, and acting in its capacity as, SKHHP' s
Administering Agency) will give the other Parties proper notice
18
SKHHP Interlocal Agreement February 06, 2019
of any claim or suit coming within the purview of these
indemnities .
18 . INSURANCE . The Executive Board, SKHHP Program Manager
and the Administering Agency will take such steps as are
reasonably practicable to minimize the liability of the Parties
associated with their participation in this Agreement, including
but not limited to the utilization of sound business practice .
The Executive Board will determine which, if any, insurance
policies may be reasonably practicably acquired to cover the
operations of SKHHP and the activities of the Parties pursuant
to this Agreement (which may include general liability, errors
and omissions, fiduciary, crime and fidelity insurance) , and
will direct the acquisition of same .
19 . AMENDMENTS . Any amendments to this Agreement must be
in writing. This Agreement may be amended upon approval of at

of membership on the Executive Board, powers of the Executive
Board, voting rights of Executive Board members, Party
contribution responsibilities, hold harmless and indemnification
requirements, provisions regarding duration, termination or
withdrawal, or the conditions of this Section will require
consent of the legislative authorities of all Parties . This
Section will not be construed to require amendment of this
Agreement for the addition of a new Party contemplated under
Section 20 or for any related revision to Executive Board
membership authorized in Section 5 (a) .
20 . ADDITIONAL PARTIES . Municipalities, local governments
and public agencies within the SKHHP Sphere of Influence may, on
execution of the Agreement and approval of the budget and work
plan by its legislative body, become a Party to this Agreement
on affirmative vote of a two-thirds majority of the membership
of the Executive Board. The Executive Board will determine by a
vote of a majority of its membership what, if any, funding
obligations the additional Party will commit to as a condition
of becoming a Party to this Agreement .
21 . SEVERABILITY. The invalidity of any clause, sentence,
paragraph, subdivision, section or portion of this Agreement,
will not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of the
Agreement .
19

be deemed waived and no breach excused unless that waiver or
consent is in writing and signed by the Party claimed to have
waived or consented.
25 . SUBSEQUENT BREACH. Waiver of any default will not be
deemed a waiver of any subsequent default . Waiver of breach of
