Ratification of 1st Amendment to veC's Governing Interlocal Agreement
ISSUE: Changes to Valley Com's governing agreement requires ratification by the
legislative bodies of Valley Com's five member cities.
BACKGROUND: When the City of Federal Way became a Valley Com member city in
2000, joining the original four member cities of Auburn, Kent, Renton and Tukwila,
Valley Com's governing interlocal agreement was rewritten to reflect the change. Then,
as now, Federal Way's fire protection services were provided by King County Fire
Protection District No. 39 (KCFPD#39), doing business at the time as the Federal Way
Fire Department and doing business now as South King Fire and Rescue.
Valley Com customer agencies pay for emergency call receiving and dispatch services
based on each agency's total dispatched calls for service, but member cities pay a
lower rate than contract agencies. When the Valley Com governing interlocal
agreement was rewritten in 2000, the member cities agreed to extend the member
city rate to KCFPD#39 because the Fire District provided service to Federal Way.
DISCUSSION: Since January 1, 2007, the Valley Regional Fire Authority (VRFA) has
provided fire protection services for the City of Auburn. In order to extend the member
city rate to VRFA as is done now for KCFPD#39, the VCC Administration Board directed
staff to submit the attached 1st Amendment to VCC's Governing Interlocal Agreement
to VCC's member cities to for ratification, because VRFA serves Auburn in the same
manner KCFPD#39 serves Federal Way.
While preparing the amendment to the VCC governing agreement, staff reviewed the
Service Level Agreement (SLA) between Valley Com and the Federal Way Fire
Department. The amendment changes references to the Federal Way Fire Department
to King County Fire Protection District No. 39, the agency's legal name.
ACTION: Consider ratification of the 1st Amendment to VCC's Governing Interlocal
Agreement.
