BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Philip Morley, County Administrator
1110
DATE: September 17, 2018
RE: Continued City/County Discussion re: Interlocal Agreement on Document
Recording Fees for Homeless Housing and Affordable Housing
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: County Commissioners will continue discussion with the City of Port
Townsend's Ad Hoc Committee on Affordable Housing regarding a new Interlocal Agreement on
Document Recording Fees for Homeless Housing and Affordable Housing. As of Monday, September
17, 2018, only ten work days remain before two existing ILAs will expire.
ANALYSIS: This meeting continues joint discussion with the City of Port Townsend on a new Interlocal
Agreement(ILA)on document recording fees for Homeless Housing and Affordable Housing pursuant to
RCW 36.22.178, RCW 36.22.179 and RCW 36.22.1791.
On July 2, 2018,the County received notice from the City of the City's intent to terminate effective
October 1, 2018 two Interlocal Agreements(ILAs)adopted in 2003 and 2005 regarding the use of
recording fees for affordable housing and homeless housing authorized by RCWs 36.22.178, .179 and
.1791 which are managed out of Jefferson County Fund 148.
One or more Commissioners and County staff have met five times(July 30, August 9,August 29,
September 4 and September 10, 2018)with the City's Ad Hoc Committee and City staff to discuss and
refine successive drafts of a new ILA and its attachments.
On September 17,the Board of County Commissioners will meet with the City's Ad Hoc Committee to:
• finalize a draft of a new ILA(see Attachment 1 to this Agenda Request),
• finalize a draft of an Interim Homeless Shelter Service Agreement(see Attachment 2), and
• discuss a first draft of a Facilitator Agreement(see Attachment 3)
FISCAL IMPACT: None from the discussion. A new ILA, yet to be prepared and finalized, will
potentially impact the collection and distribution of the recording fees. An ILA is required to collect
recording fees under RCW 36.22.178.
RECOMMENDATION: Continue joint County/City discussions to finalize a draft ILA, finalize a draft
Interim Homeless Shelter Service Agreement, and discuss a draft Facilitator Agreement. Identify next
steps to adopt an ILA and Interim Homeless Shelter Service Agreement before the existing ILAs expire.
