Annexation Oversight Group
Issues Summary: February 27, 2023
1. Define the term "reversionary interest."
A reversionary interest is the right to resume ownership of land if and when certain conditions
are met. In this case, a station not used by the RFA for "response purposes" would revert to city
ownership.
2. Chair, Vice Chair and Chair of Citizen's Advisory Group. - Bylaws
Upon annexation, the bylaws will be amended to create a 3 -year rotation of the positions above.
As a result, in 2024, a Board Member from KCFD#37 would assume the role of Chair, a Board
Member from the city of Tukwila would assume the role of Vice -Chair, and a Board Member
from the city of Kent would lead the Citizen's advisory group.
3. Deed Restriction for Station 51. Annexation Plan — Section 7z1aj
As the city's ownership of station 51 may not be easily transferred to the RFA, updated language
has been proposed with agreement by the attorneys.
"The City of Tukwila shall retain ownership of the real property on which Station 51 is located
and shall lease Station 51 to the RFA for 50 -year terms at the rate of $1 per year. As conditions
of the lease, the RFA shall assume 100% of the maintenance costs and shall use Station 51 to
deploy RFA response units, subject to any other interests in the property."
