AN ORDINANCE authorizing the use of an interlocal agreement template for municipalities within King County seeking to contract with the King County department of transportation to provide road services.
Okay. Now we're going up to item number six. And I'm glad you brought your fan club. It's a good thing. And I'm sure there's 4500 other people back at work. 4600 willing to congratulate you, too. Number six is the 2000 60391 roads in a local agreement template for city contracts. And I'm sorry we've had to keep you waiting this long, but the agenda today just got moved around. Welcome. Thank you. Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm Lisa Kay on council staff. This item proposed ordinance 2016 0391 is before you today. The staff report is on page 61 of your packet. I'm joined with join by Road Services Division Director Brenda Bauer to my left. This legislation would allow the executive to use the contract template on page 81 of your packet for road maintenance agreements with any City and King County Council currently approves those contracts individually. Rhodes has existing contracts with 29 cities for a variety of services. The list of cities is included on pages 93 to 95 of your packet. The existing contracts in the new template provide for forecast recovery to the county for cities are currently seeking new contracts with King County. That would be Bellevue, the city of Medina, Normandy Park and Euro Point. After executing those contracts, words would expect to transition contracts with the existing cities over time. They adopted Strategic Plan for road services that you updated in 2014, directs roads to ensure that contract services do not materially reduce the capacity of the division to provide services to the county's network. According to executive staff, Rhodes has moved away from providing generic services to agencies that have capacity to do that work in-house. They adopted biannual budget, for example, anticipates $3.7 million in revenue each year from the contract cities, which is a reduction from historical levels which have averaged about $5.8 million between 2012 and 2015. You can see those figures on. Table one on page. 64 of your packet. Staff have prepared the technical amendment on page 79 of your packet, as recommended by Council's legal counsel. The amendment revises wording about Council's authorization of the use of the template. That completes my report, Madam Chair. Great. Thank you very much, Mr. Brower. Welcome. Do you like to talk about this work? Yes. Brenda Barrow, Road Services Division Director. Thank you for considering this change. It would provide a standardized template that is consistent with the work of the office and the Council's attorney to identify a template that would be a smart template that we could offer all cities and would expedite the work there, would reduce the amount of time we spend negotiating individual agreements with agencies, and that would create a lot of efficiency for us. It would also create a lot of certainty for us to have consistent terms for all the different cities we have moved away from. Providing, as Lisa said, generic services to most of the cities with a reduced workforce. We didn't want to provide services that would be in conflict with work on county roads. So very generic services are we've moved away from and we're focusing our staff on county roads so that that is not an issue for us.
