Resolution No. 5335 authorizes the Mayor to execute an interlocal agreement with the other jurisdictions of the South County Area Transportation Board (SCATBd). 

Background:

SCATBd is a Board of elected officials representing South King County jurisdictions for the purpose of information sharing, consensus building, and coordinating to resolve transportation issues, identifying priorities, making recommendations, and promoting transportation plans and programs that benefit the South King County area.  The Board operates under an interlocal agreement that is revised every 2 to 4 years.  The last agreement was approved by the City Council on August 5, 2013 and expires on December 31, 2017. 

The City Council discussed the agreement on October 23, 2017 and on December 11, 2017.  The agreement would provide for the continuation of the Board through December 31, 2019 with the ability to extend through December 31, 2021.  The interlocal agreement also adopts Operating Procedures for the Board.  The only revision to the agreement from the version previously reviewed by Council is Section 2.1, Item 9 which was added to address the voting authority related to Sound Transit issues.
