Request to Develop Agreement with Transit for Development of International International Gateway Gateway Project Project Mayor Braun reviewed the information provided by the Public Works Department and asked Interim Manager Pittis for further input. Interim Manager Pittis distributed copies of the minutes from the joint Council/Transit meeting held this past week. Noting that the City and the Transit could serve as equal partners in this endeavor, he introduced Dan DiGuilio, Executive Director/Manager for Clallam Transit System, who was present in the audience. Interim Manager Pittis stated the City views this as an opportunity to collectively build the International Gateway in the downtown area, which could benefit tourism and economic development for business opportunities. It would provide an opportunity for transit operations in a joint facility with the Gateway, additional parking, and a link between transit, cars, bicycles, ferries and other modes of transportation on the waterfront. Interim Manager Pittis felt that, with the new influx of Federal Transit Authority money, the City must take a hard look at Transit's role in the Gateway Project. Thus, it makes sense to have Transit as an equal partner in the project for developing concepts and issues for the facility. With the help of Transit staff, this project will benefit the community. Staff is asking Council for its concurrence to proceed with the development of an interlocal agreement to manage the project togetherl The design process would begin after initiation of the agreement. This woOd involve selection of a consultant, an environmental process, review of alternatives, and then move fonvard once options are evaluated. This would be a step-by-step process to achieve a facility design, at which time construction costs will be evaluated and funding can be sought before beginning construction. He felt this would be a win/win situation for Transit, the City, and the community. Interim Manager Pittis reminded the Council that this project was rated as a number one priority statewide by the Transportation Improvement Board two years ago. Dan DiGuilio stated the Transit Board had met and discussed this issue. Transit had performed a study to identify a location for a possible new bus terminal downtown. The City Light Operations building and adjacent parking lot was targeted as a potential area to develop a new terminal. However, if that parking lot is leased for the DSHS offices going into the J. C. Penney building, this is no longer an option. By partnering with the City, Transit is given another opportunity to examine the Gateway area and find a potential new site. If the Council agrees to this Interlocal Agreement, a study will be undertaken to identify options, and the information will be brought to both the Transit Board and the Council for a decision on a joint project. Mr. DiGuilio echoed the comments made by Interim Manager Pittis in that this is only a planning project at this time. Funding for construction is not being considered at the moment. The downtown community has expressed a desire to participate in the project as well, which is being welcomed. Mr. DiGuilio wanted the Council to be aware that Transit does not have matching funds for this project, and it would be difficult to fred $500,000 to match the $2 million which has been awarded to the City. Part of the negotiations would involve identifying where this money would come from. Mr. DiGuilio, Interim Manager Pittis, and Attorney Knutson responded to questions directed by the Council and provided further clarification regarding the intent of the interlocal agreement. Councilman Wiggins moved to authorize staff to draft an Interiocai Agreement with the Transit which will identify the roles and responsibilities related to construction and operation of the Gateway Project. Councilman Williams seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. -5- 3732 CITY COUNCIL MEETING June 2, 1998 Lee Hotel Presentation B.

Ms. Tietz stated all funding applications have_been sUbmitted. The Housing Finance Commission, the largest funding source for this project, assigned credits to the Lee Hotel project on a preliminary basis. If the project has been truly represented, then a credit allocation will be set aside, and tax credits can be sold to earn equity for the project. Ms. Tietz stated only three projects outside of King County were funded, and the Lee Hotel project was one of those three.
