Amended Interlocal Agreement for Valley View Sewer to Provide Sewer to the Loop
ISSUE
Approve the Amended Interlocal Agreement between the City of Tukwila and Valley View Sewer District
to provide sanitary sewer service to the Loop and Crystal Springs area of Tukwila.
BACKGROUND
In May of 2015, the Tukwila City Council approved an Interlocal Agreement to allow Valley View Sewer
District to provide sanitary sewer service to the Loop area of the City of Tukwila. Valley View Sewer
District held an Open House on September 10, 2015 to share preliminary project and cost details with
residents of the area regarding the installation of sewers. After that September meeting, citizens
contacted the City about their concerns and Valley View presented the same preliminary project and
cost details to the Tukwila City Council at the October 12, 2015 Council meeting.. Valley View Sewer
District committed to keeping the City Council informed when additional information about project
funding became available.
DISCUSSION
The Amended Agreement:
1) Adds the Crystal Springs neighborhood to the portion of the City covered by the agreement.
2) Revises the time period that the City of Tukwila must complete the installation of manholes and
piping in 42nd Avenue South that supports the installation of the sewers in the Loop area.
3) Requires that if Valley View Sewer District does not complete the installation of sewers in the
area covered by the agreement by January 1, 2021, the City will complete the instaliation of
sewers and the District will reimburse the City for costs it incurred to complete the project.
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be fiscal impact to the City if Valley View Sewer District does not complete the installation of
the sewers prior to January 1, 2021 in the Loop and Crystal Springs. If the City has to complete the
installation of the sewers at its discretion, Valley View will have to reimburse the City for their costs it
incurred to complete the project.
RECOMMENDATION
Council is being asked to approve the Amended Interlocal Agreement between the City of Tukwila and
Valley View Sewer District allowing Valley View Sewer District to provide sanitary sewer service to the
Loop and Crystal Springs area in the City and consider this item at the April 9, 2018 Committee of the
Whole Meeting and subsequent April 16, 2018 Regular Meeting.

VALLEY VIEW SEWER DISTRICT AND CITY OF TUKWILA
AMENDED SEWER SERVICE AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDED SEWER SERVICE AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made and
entered into by and between VALLEY VIEW SEWER DISTRICT, King County, Washington
("District") and the CITY OF TUKWILA, Washington ("City"), each a Washington municipal
corporation (collectively the "Parties" and individually a "Party").
RECITALS
A. The City, a non -charter code city operating under Title 35A RCW, and the
District, a sewer district operating under Title 57 RCW, both own and operate sewer collection
systems within their respective sewer service areas.
B. Pursuant to RCW 35A.11.040, RCW 35.67.300, RCW 57.08.005(12), and
Chapter 39.34 RCW, the Parties are authorized to cooperate with each other to provide sewer
services in a manner that will best satisfy the geographic, planning, economic, financing and
development interests of the Parties.
C. An area of the City bounded generally by South 160th Street, 42nd Avenue South,
State Route 518, and 51st Avenue South, and commonly referred to as the loop area ("Loop
Area"), currently is not served by a public sewer system. The Loop Area is not within the
boundaries of the District.
D. Pursuant to RCW 57.08.005(5), the District is authorized to acquire, construct,
maintain and operate sewer systems, both within the District and outside the District. Pursuant to
this authority, the District has adopted a comprehensive plan that includes most of the Loop Area
within its sewer service area.
E. The City is constructing a street project on 42nd Avenue South, in the vicinity of
the Loop Area. In conjunction with this street project, the District is designing and planning an
eight -inch sewer pipe and manholes, together with appurtenances, at approximately 42nd Avenue
South and State Route 518 ("District Project"). The District Project, combined with extensions
and facilities, would provide sewer service to the Loop Area. In contrast, the nearest City
manhole to the Loop Area is approximately 2,000 feet east of the Loop Area.
F. The Loop Area is within the City's current Sewer Comprehensive Plan. However,
construction of a sewer system in the Loop Area is a low priority for the City, as the native soils
in the Loop Area are sufficient to infiltrate wastewater for a majority of the on-site sewer
systems in the Loop Area. The City anticipates that several large lots within the Loop Area will
be developed in the near future, before the City would be able to construct a sewer system in the
Loop Area.
616407.2 - 089539 -0193 -1-
91
G. The District is willing to construct and install the District Project, and to
investigate and plan for sewer service to the Loop Area, as long as the City supports the
construction and installation of the District Project, authorizes the District to provide and control
sewer service to the Loop Area, and authorizes the property owners who connect to the sewer
system to become District customers. The City is willing to allow the District to construct, install
and plan for a sewer system to serve the Loop Area, in order to facilitate development of the
Loop Area and to eliminate on-site sewer systems, as necessary.
H. In June of 2015, the City and the District entered into the original Sewer Service
Agreement, #15-115 providing approval for the District to construct its proposed sewer system to
serve the Loop Area, which the Sewer Service Agreement was dated effective June 22, 2015.
Since that time, the City and the District have identified additional property within the Loop
Area that would also benefit from the District's construction of a sewer system in order to
facilitate development and the City and the District desire to amend the original Sewer Service
Agreement dated June 22, 2015 to authorize the District to construct a sewer system and provide
sewer service within the extended area.
I. The original area authorized to be served by the District is legally described in
Exhibit A-1 and depicted in Exhibit B-1. The extended area authorized to be served by the
District pursuant to this amended Agreement is legally described in Exhibit A-2 and depicted in
Exhibit B-2.
J. The Parties desire to set forth in this amended Agreement both the original and
amended terms and conditions relating to the District's authority to construct a sewer system to
serve the Loop Area. The Parties intend that this amended Agreement shall supersede and
replace the Sewer Service Agreement dated June 22, 2015 upon its approval and full execution
by the Parties.
AGREEMENT
In furtherance of the foregoing and in consideration of the following terms and
conditions, the District and the City agree as follows:
1. District Construction of Sanitary Sewer Facilities. The District shall design and
construct a sanitary sewer pipe and manholes, together with appurtenances ("District Project"),
in conjunction with the City street project for 42nd Avenue South ("City Project"). The City will
process any permits and approvals for the District Project in a timely manner. In the event the
District fails to complete the installation of the sewer system in the Loop Area by January 1,
2021, the City shall in its sole discretion be authorized to construct the sewer system in order to
facilitate the provision of sewer service to the Loop Area and to seek reimbursement from the
District for the costs incurred by the City in accordance with the terms provided in this
Agreement. In the event the City constructs and completes the sewer system within the Loop
Area, the District and the City shall enter into a reimbursement agreement pursuant to which the
District will impose and collect for the benefit of the City an appropriate local facility connection
616407.2 - 089539 -0193
92
-2-
charge from each property owner or customer seeking to connect to the District's sewer system
within the Loop Area. The local facility connection charge will include interest charges applied
from the date construction of the sewer system within the Loop Area is complete until the
connection, or for a period not to exceed ten (10) years, whichever is shorter. The interest rate
shall be commensurate with the rate of interest applicable to the City at the time of construction
but shall not exceed LThree 1 percent (3%) per annum. The amount of the local facility
connection charge to be imposed for the benefit of the City shall be based on the City's actual
expenses incurred in constructing the sewer system, excluding any portion of the sewer facilities
paid for by grants or other donated facilities, so that property owners and customers seeking to
connect to the District's sewer system shall pay for their equitable share of the cost of the sewer
system within the Loop Area. Any sewer facilities constructed by the City within the Loop Area
shall be deemed to be District property upon final acceptance of the sewer facilities by the City
and the City shall provide the District with a bill of sale to evidence the District's ownership of
such sewer facilities.
2. Designation of and Provider for Sewer Service Area. The District Project will
allow for eventual sewer service to the area of land within the City described on Exhibits A-1
and A-2 and depicted in Exhibits B-1 and B-2 ("Loop Area"). Upon full execution of this
Agreement, the District shall become the approved provider of sewer service for the Loop Area.
3. District as Sewer Service Provider. Upon becoming the approved provider of
sewer service for the Loop Area, the District shall have the sole responsibility, power and
authority to construct, condemn, purchase, acquire, maintain and operate the sewer system,
together with any additions, extensions and betterments thereto, except as otherwise provided for
in this Agreement. The District further shall have the sole responsibility, power and authority to
fix, alter, regulate and control the charges and rates. Any District work in the City streets or
right-of-way shall be subject to City ordinances, rules and regulations. After the District has
become the provider of sewer service, property owners who connect to the sewer system shall be
District customers, and shall be subject to all District laws and regulations.
4. Sewer Connection Ordinance. Upon request of the District, the City shall present
to the Tukwila City Council an ordinance that requires the owners of property and buildings in
the Loop Area to connect to the District's sewer system and to pay the District's sewer
connection charges, in accordance with terms and conditions that are similar to Tukwila
Ordinance No. 2007 at Exhibit C but that are established by the District.
5. Effective Date. Upon full execution of this amended Agreement, the Agreement
shall supersede and replace the original Sewer Service Agreement dated June 22, 2015. The
effective date of this amended Agreement shall be retroactive to June 22, 2015, the effective date
of the original Sewer Service Agreement.
6. Amendment of Laws and Plans. As soon as reasonably possible following the
District's becoming the sewer service provider for the Loop Area, the Parties shall amend their
respective plans, ordinances, and resolutions that relate to the ownership, operation and
maintenance of a sewer system in and sewer service for the Loop Area. The City shall support
616407.2 - 089539 -0193
-3-
93
and approve any amendments to the District's comprehensive plan for the Loop Area.
7. Cooperation. The Parties shall cooperate with each other with regard to the
District's issuance of permits and approvals for and contracts relating to construction of
extensions and connections to the District's sanitary sewer system in the Loop Area, and the
City's issuance of permits and approvals for development of property and construction of
buildings and structures in the Loop Area.
8. District ULID's and District Annexation. The Parties acknowledge that the
construction of the sewer system, or any portion thereof, for the Loop Area may involve the
creation of a District utility local improvement district, and that the District lacks authority to
form a utility local improvement district outside of its territory or boundaries. The City shall
support any District proposed annexation of the Loop Area, or any portion thereof. Upon
District annexation of the Loop Area, or portion thereof, the City shall support the District's
formation of a utility local improvement district in the annexed area.
9. Dispute Resolution. The Parties shall first attempt to resolve any dispute arising
under the Agreement by discussions among a City representative or representatives selected by
the Mayor and a District representative or representatives selected by the President of the Board
of Commissioners. If the discussions are not successful, the Parties shall engage in mediation
within forty-five (45) days of termination of discussions, according to a process and before a
mediator agreed upon by the Parties. The Parties shall not resolve a dispute by mandatory
arbitration. The Parties reserve their rights to pursue any available Court remedies at any time
after the conclusion of the mediation.

upon by the Parties, a Party shall have the right to inspect and copy, without charge, all records

fees, arising out of or resulting from any negligent acts, errors, omissions of the indemnifying
Party and its officers, officials, employees and volunteers in performing obligations under this
Agreement. However, if any such injuries and damages to persons or property are caused by or
result from the concurrent negligence of the District or its officers, officials, employees and
volunteers, and the City or its officers, officials, employees and volunteers, each Party's
obligation hereunder applies only to the extent of the negligence of such Party or its officers,
officials, employees or volunteers.

Party's immunity under industrial insurance, Title 51 RCW, as respects the other Party only, and
only to the extent necessary to provide the indemnified Party with a full and complete indemnity
of claims made by the indemnitor's employees. This waiver has been mutually negotiated.

Transportation & Infrastructure Committee Minutes March 26, 2018
D. Proposed FEMA Flood Map Update
Staff updated the Committee on FEMA's effort to update and modernize Flood Insurance Rate
Maps (FIRMs) that are used to regulate development with designated Special Flood Hazard Areas
(SFHA). The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) floodplain management regulations
mandate flood insurance for structures in SFHAs that carry a mortgage backed by a federally
regulated lender or servicer. The City regulates the NFIP requirements through its permit
process. The primary change to the City of Tukwila FIRMs is that they will contain a designation
for seclusion mapping, where a floodplain that is protected by a non -certified levee will be
designated. The City of Kent hosted an open house in March where staff from the surrounding
cities were available to answer questions. Next is a 90 -day appeal period, and once the update
is complete, each jurisdiction will be notified that the new FIRMs will become effective in six
months. Staff plans to return to Committee with information on the levee certification progress.
DISCUSSION ONLY.
E. Amended Interlocal Agreement: Valley View West Hill Sewer Transfer Area
*Staff is seeking Committee approval to amend the interlocal agreement with Valley View Sewer
District providing sanitary sewer service to the Loop area originally approved by the Council in
May 2015. The amendment would add the Crystal Springs neighborhood, revise the time period
for installation of manholes and piping, and add a provision that if the District does not complete
the sewer installation by January 1, 2021 the City will complete it and the District will reimburse
the costs. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO APRIL 9, 2018 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
F. Strander Boulevard/Southwest 27th Street Extension Phase 3 ProtesSlos_ling
Staff briefed the Committee on the estimated costs and funding of the Strander
Boulevard/Southwest 27th Street Extension Phase 3 Project. The City has received over $4.5
million to design the project, which is almost at 30% completion. Because construction of this
project would require a significant City cost in excess of $7 million, staff is seeking direction on
prioritization of this and other bridge projects. The 42nd Avenue South Street Bridge replacement
project after2020 will also require significant city funding, currently estimated at $6 million. The
City could terminate the Strander project prior to finishing design and return the grant funds.
The City could also terminate the project at the end of design, not proceeding to construction in
2020. This option would allow the City up to 10 years to begin construction before triggering
events where expended grant funds would have to be returned. Committee members asked
clarifying questions, but generally expressed support for continuing through the design process
for this important regional project and pursuing additional funding from grantors. The
Committee felt there are sufficient off -ramps to feel comfortable moving forward. DISCUSSION
ONLY.
G. Grant Applications: Strander Boulevard/Southwest 27th Street Extension Phase 3 Project
Staff is seeking Committee approval to submit multiple grant applications to secure funding for
construction of the Strander Boulevard Extension Phase 3 Project. Funding agencies could
include the Puget Sound Regional Council, Transportation Improvement Board, King County
Metro, Sound Transit, Union Pacific and BNSF Railroads, TIGER, and the City of Renton. In 2016,
the application to PSRC was the highest scoring project not selected for funding, and staff
believes the application is more attractive now due to it being a project of regional significance.
If awarded, the grant would be $4.76 million. If the Committee approves, staff will pursue other
grant opportunities as appropriate. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
