This agreement is entered into between the CITY OF
TUKWILA, a municipal corporation, hereafter referred to as
"City," and KING COUNTY FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT NO. 1, a
municipal corporation, hereafter referred to as "District."
A. The District and the City currently each maintain
and operate their own fire departments to provide fire pro-
tection, fire suppression and emergency medical services in
their respective areas.
B. The District intends to contract with the City for
the City to provide fire prevention, suppression and medical
aid services to the area within the boundaries of the Dis-
trict in the event the City annexes the Allentown area.
C. This agreement is entered into by the City under the
authority of RCW 35A.11.040 and the District under the
authority of RCW 52.36.020 and in conformity with RCW 39.34,
the Interlocal Cooperation Act.
D.' It is the purpose of this agreement to provide the
terms and conditions under which the City will provide ser-
vices to the District.
To carry out the purposes of this agreement and in con-
sideration of the benefits to be received by each party, it
is agreed as follows:
1. Condition Precedent. This agreement shall not be
effective unless and until the Allentown area shall be
annexed to the City of Tukwila at the election 4heduled for
September 20, 1983.
2. Services to be Provided by City. The City agrees to
furnish fire and emergency medical protection to all proper-
ties and persons presently within or annexed to the District
including all District owned or leased real and personal
properties. Such fire and emergency medical protection shall
be rendered on the same basis as such protection is rendered
to other areas within the City or with which the City has
contracts, but it assumes no liability for failure to do so
by reason of any circumstances beyond its control and in the
event of simultaneous fires or emergency medical calls within
the City and outside of the City whereby facilities of the
City are taxed beyond its ability to render equal protection,
the officers and agents of the City shall have discretion as
to which call shall be answered first and shall be the sole
judge as to the most expeditious manner of handling and
responding to said calls. The City shall furnish all person-
nel required to perform the services described above.
3. Payment by District. The District agrees to levy
annually the maximum regular levy permitted by statute and a
special levy, if approved by the voters of the District, in
such amount and in such years as may be necessary to enable
the District to pay to the City a sum that will be sufficient
to contribute the District's proportionate share of the funds
required to enable the City to provide a level of services to
the District equal to the current level of services provided
by the District. From the revenue received by the District
from such levies or from any other source, the District shall
retain annually for its operational needs, sufficient sums to
pay the maximum sum permitted by statute for the services of
the commissioners of the District, authorized commissioner's
expenses, legal services from an attorney selected by the
Board of Commissioners, and expenses for elections, audits
and insurance premiums. The parties anticipate that the cost
for the'above operational needs will not exceed $15,000.00
for 1984. If it should develop that expenses will exceed
such amount, the District and the City agree to review such
expenses for the joint budget approval at the annual meeting
or at a special meeting as provided in paragraph 14 of this
agreement.
The balance of the revenues of the District after deducting
the above expenses, shall be paid to the City in semi annual
installments in June and December in accordance with receipts
by the District from the county comptroller. Provided, how
ever, 10 the balance of such revenues shall be deducted
oy the District and retained for the purchase of capital
equipment and improvements for the District. The funds shall
be administered, expended or invested by the District or by
the City at the option of the Board of Commissioners of the
7 District.
The above payments to the City shall be computed to include
revenues derived from levies made prior to commencement of
this agreement and shall not include revenues received from
levies made during the existence of this agreement but
received after termination of the agreement.
In the event that the voters of the District shall, at any
time, approve the lifting of the 106% tax lid pursuant to RCW
Chapter 84.55, it is agreed between the parties that such
additional tax revenues shall be used by the City to provide
additional services to the District.
The amounts to become due from the District to the City for
the portion of calendar year 1983 that is included in the
term of this agreement shall be negotiated by the parties
based on the pro rata share of non committed 1983 District
tax revenue.
4. Insurance. Each party shall provide insurance
coverge for all facilities and equipment currently owned or
hereafter purchased by such party and used under the terms of
this agreement. The District's insurance shall provide
coverage for the loss or damage to the District's facilities
and equipment. The City shall provide full liability cover-
age for the use and operation of such facilities and equip-
ment.
5. Property Ownership. All property presently owned or
hereafter acquired by the District to enable it to perform
the services required under this agreement, shall remain the

required under this agreement, shall remain the property of
the City in the event of the termination of this agreement.
