A RESOLUTION of the City Council of the
City of Kent, Washington, accepting the transfer of
real property located on Washington Avenue from
the Puget Sound Regional Fire Authority.
RECITALS
A. In 2010, voters within the jurisdictions of the City of Kent
("City") and King County Fire Protection District No. 37 voted to create the
Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority, now officially referred to as
the Puget Sound Regional Fire Authority ("RFA"). Shortly thereafter, the City
and the RFA entered into an interlocal agreement, establishing a framework
for the transfer of responsibilities and property from the City to the RFA.
B. In 2006, the City purchased property located at 407
Washington Avenue North, which had previously been used as a vehicle
emissions testing facility and which the City converted to use for storage
purposes. Following the creation of the RFA, and as provided in the interlocal
agreement and the RFA's Regional Fire Authority Plan (' RFA Plan"), the City
transferred this property to the RFA for $1. Pursuant to the terms of the
interlocal agreement and RFA Plan, after the transfer of the property, the
City would lease the property back from the RFA for the City's continued
use as a storage lot for $1. Additionally, when the RFA no longer wished to
retain the property, the RFA would transfer the property back to the City for
$1.

C. The City and the RFA have been good partners in providing
essential services to the citizens of Kent. The City continues to have a
significant need for use of the property, and the property is in need of some
repairs. The RFA has determined that it no longer needs the property at 407
Washington Avenue North and has agreed to transfer it back to the City in
accordance with the interlocal agreement and RFA Plan.
