MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTA + ING Between the Cities of Renton and Tukwila in Regards to Tukwila's Proposed Annexation of King County Fire District #1 The City of Tukwila has accepted a petition to annex the property encompassed by King County Fire District #1 utilizing the election method and has filed that petition with the King County Boundary Review Board. King County Fire District #1 includes an area (Attachment A) east of the Burlington Northern Railroad right-of-way, south of State Route 900, and north of the existing Renton corporate limits in the vicinity of Metro's Renton Sewage Treatment Plant (hereafter referred to as the Subject Area.) The Cities of Renton and Tukwila recognize that the Subject Area is within the Planning and Impact Areas of both Cities and, as such, any development in this area may have visual, environmental, transportation, public service and utility impacts on one or both of the Cities. The Renton City Council adopted Resolution 2561, and the Tukwila City Council adopted Resolution 1008, and the Cities of Renton and Tukwila acknowledged in a prior interlocal agreement that they will jointly review any future annexations in the vicinity of the Burlington Northern Railroad right-of-way, consistent with the 1987 Renton -Tukwila Boundary Line Adjustment. The planning staff members from the Cities of Renton and Tukwila are currently negotiating an interlocal agreement addressing inter -governmental cooperation, land use, service delivery, and annexation in the Subject Area. The purpose of this interlocal agreement is to: 1. Establish a cooperative relationship through which Renton and Tukwila can develop and maintain compatible policies regarding land use, service delivery and annexations within the Subject Area; and 2. Create a workable system for inter -jurisdictional communication between Renton and Tukwila in the implementation of mutual goals within the Subject Area; and 3. Provide a means whereby Renton and Tukwila will consider each other's plans regulations and policies in land use development decisions within the Subject Area; and 4. Establish a joint agreement between Renton and Tukwila requesting the King County Boundary Review Board to delete the Subject Area from Tukwila's proposed annexation of King County Fire District #1; and 5. Provide a means by which Renton will support the annexation of all or a portion of the Subject Area to Renton. SIGNED this VACA day of , 1988.

The above recitals are found to be true and correct. Section 2. The City of Tukwila hereby establishes intent to realign and simplify its common boundary with the City of Renton according to the reciprocal annexation method set forth in RCW 35.10.217. Section 3. The City of Tukwila is willing to and intends to annex certain areas currently located in the City of Renton and described as follows, to -wit: See Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made a part hereof as if fully set forth. upon the ceding of such territory to the City of Tukwila by the City of Renton. Section 4.

Section 5. The City of Tukwila recognizes that there are certain issues of concern to both the City of Renton and the City of Tukwila that must be mutually resolved. The City of Tukwila intends to pursue the resolution of these issues by entering into an agreement with the City of Renton containing the following terms and conditions: 1. Strander Boulevard/S. W. 27th Street Improvements. Local costs of the future crossing of the railroad tracks by Strander Boulevard/S. W. 27th Street should be shared equitably between the two parties. In pursuit of this Agreement, both Cities agree to designate the aforementioned improvement of Strander Boulevard/S. W. 27th Street as a high priority item on each City's Transportation Improvement Plan, and each provide one-half of the local funds needed to match an 80% federal funding for this road improvement project. Because the timing of this street extension is uncertain, Renton and Tukwila agree to monitor development and, as development warrants, to acknowledge that the route is needed and that both jurisdictions will cooperate to insure that an appropriate connection is designed and constructed. Because the crossing will be located entirely within Tukwila upon completion of the annexation, the final decision as to the time for improvement shall be left to the discretion of Tukwila. If federal funding is unavailable, then Renton and Tukwila will negotiate an equitable funding option as necessary, such that each City's share of the local costs of the improvement shall be 50%. 2. S. W. 43rd Street/S. 180th Street Improvements. If a proposed grade separated crossing of S. W. 43rd and the railroad tracks is undertaken to improve traffic safety and capacity, the local costs should be shared equitably between Renton and Tukwila. The two Cities shall support the S. W. 43rd Street/S. 180th Street improvement in the same manner as the Strander Boulevard/S. W. 27th Street railroad crossing. By support, it is meant that both Cities will designate this road improvement as a high priority item on each City's Transportation Improvement Plan and each provide one-half of the local funds needed to match an 80% federal funding for this road improvement project. If federal funding is unavailable, then Renton and Tukwila will negotiate an equitable funding option as necessary, such that each cities' share of the local costs of such road improvement shall be 50%. Because the improvement will be located entirely within Tukwila upon completion of the annexation, the final decision as to the time for the improvement shall be left to the discretion of Tukwila. 3. P-1 Channel. The P-1 Channel is a storm drainage improvement to be located within that property described on Exhibit B which will be annexed to Renton. Renton agrees to assume what would have been Tukwila's share of the cost of construction and maintenance for that portion of the P-1 Channel which will be located in said area. The City of Tukwila shall retain the right to connect to and use the P-1 Channel. 4. Green River Dike Maintenance. Renton's share of the cost of the Green River Dike Maintenance Plan was 22% prior to the reciprocal annexations. Construction and maintenance costs for the Green River Dikes should be revised to reflect the fact that Renton will not have Green River frontage after the reciprocal annexations are completed and that therefore Renton should have no obligation for dike maintenance or rehabilitation. 5. Frank Zepp Bridge. Upon completion of the reciprocal annexations, the Frank Zepp Bridge at S. W. 43rd Street/S. 180th Street will be located entirely within the City of Tukwila. Tukwila agrees to assume all costs of maintenance and future widening for the bridge. Both parties understand that with the annexation of the property described on Exhibit A to Tukwila, the responsibility for maintenance and operation of the traffic signals at the intersection of S. W. 43rd Street and West Valley Road (SR -181), formerly shared by the Cities of Renton and Kent, should be assumed in total by the City of Kent. 6. Utilities. Both parties understand that Renton has existing utilities serving a portion of.the _area to be annexed to the City of Tukwila bordered by S. W. 43rd Street, West Valley Highway, the existing Renton City limits and the Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way. Renton shall retain ownership of the said existing utilities and shall be responsible for all costs of operation and maintenance of the same. Tukwila shall be responsible for providing sewer and water service to all other areas annexed to Tukwila as part of the reciprocal annexations. Neither party shall impose a surcharge upon utility users within the newly annexed areas solely because of their annexation. 7. SR -181. The City of Renton should enter into an agreement with the State of Washington regarding the transfer of costs to the State for improvements to SR -181 between S. W. 43rd Street and I-405. The City of Tukwila shall bear no responsibility for such costs by virtue of the execution of this Agreement. 8. Future Annexations. Renton and Tukwila will coordinate review of future annexation petitions received by the parties consistent with the boundary line shown on Exhibit C attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference as if set forth in full. Section 6. The Mayor is hereby authorized to execute and the City Clerk to attest to that certain agreement entitled "Interlocal Agreement Regarding Reciprocal Annexations" containing the terms and conditions outlined in Section 5 above. Section 7. Resolution No. 1002 of the City of Tukwila, passed by the City Council on April 21, 1986 is hereby repealed.
