Findings -- 2002 c 294: "The legislature recognizes housmg affordability has become a significant
problem for a large portion of society in many parts of Washington state in recent years. The state has
traditionally focused its resources on housing for low-income populations. AdditIOnal funding resources
are needed for bUlldmg operation and maintenance activities for housing projects affordable to
extremely low-income people, for example farmworkers or people with developmental disabilities.
Affordable rents for extremely low-income people are not sufficient to cover the cost of building
operations and maintenance. In addition resources are needed at the local level to assist m development
and preservation of affordable low-income housing to address critical local housing needs." [2002 c 294

SUBJECT: Interlocal Agreement Regarding Distribution of SHB2060 Funds
Clallam County recently sent you a proposed Interlocal Agreement Regarding Distribution of SHB
2060 Funds. The Interlocal Agreement is between Clallam County and the cities of Port Angeles,
Sequim and Forks.
SHB2060 was adopted in 2002, establishing a surcharge for low-income housing projects. The
surcharge of$10.00 is collected by the County Auditor on each recorded document, in addition to the
other charges already imposed for document recording. The Auditor may retain up to five percent of
the funds collected to cover the administration costs for the collection of the funds. In addition, forty
percent of the funds collected are transmitted to the State Treasurer for deposit into the Washington
Housing Trust Account. The remaining sixty percent is to be retained by the County for use by the
County and its cities and towns for housing projects or units within housing projects that are
affordable to very low-income persons with incomes at or below fifty percent ofthe area median
income. The portion of the surcharge retained by the county is to be allocated to very low-income
housing projects or units within such housing projects in the county and the cities within a county
according to an interlocal agreement between the county and the cities wlthin the county, consistent
with countywide and local housing needs and policies [my emphasis). It is for this reason that
Clallam County is now asking that we enter into the Interlocal Agreement. A copy ofRCW
36.22.178 is attached for your information.
Exhibit A of the Interlocal Agreement establishes the funding process to be followed, to include
involvement on the part of United Way for evaluation and recommendation purposes, as well as the
Clallam County Housing Authonty for fund administration. I asked Pam Tietz, Housing Authority
Executive Director, to provIde me with further information, a copy of which is attached. Please note
that revenue projections for Clallam County are $65,000 - $85,000 per year. However, for 2003,
revenues are estimated to be from $25,000 - $35,000 due to a reduced collection period; applications
will be considered on an annual basis. Once the City of Forks has approved and signed the
agreement, it will be forwarded to us for approval and signature. We could plan to take this item to
the City Council on October 21 st if you'd like. Let me know if you need any further information.

CITY COUNCIL
Michael Quinn, City Manager
Interlocal Agreement with Clallam County and Cities of Forks
and Sequim Regarding Distribution of SHB2060 Low Income Housing Funds
Summary: In 2002, the State Legislature established a surcharge of $10.00 on each recorded
document in the County Auditor's office in order to generate funds for low-income housing proj ects.
The legislation included the requirement that an Interlocal Agreement between the County and the
cities within the County be entered into for the administration of those funds.
Recommendation: That the City Council authorize the Mayor to sign the Interlocal
Agreement with Clallam County and the Cities of Forks and Sequim regarding distribution
of SHB2060 funds.
Back~round / Analysis: SHB2060 was adopted in 2002, establishing a surcharge for low-
income housing proj ects. A surcharge of$l 0.00 is collected by the County Auditor on each recorded
document, in addition to the other charges already imposed for document recording. The Auditor
may retain up to five percent of the funds collected to cover the administration costs for the
collection ofthe funds. In addition, forty percent ofthe funds collected are transmitted to the State
Treasurer for deposit into the Washington Housing Trust Account. The remaining sixty percent is
to be retained by the County for use by the County and its cities and towns for housing projects or
units within housing projects that are affordable to very low-income persons with incomes at or
below fifty percent of the area median income. The portion of the surcharge retained by the county
is to be allocated to very low-income housing projects or units within such housing projects m the
county and the cities within a county according to an interlocal agreement between the county and
the cities within the county, consistent with countywide and local houszng needs and polzcles [my
emphasis). It is for thIS reason that Clallam County IS now asking that we enter mto the Interlocal
Agreement; it has already been approved by the Cities of Forks and Sequim, and it enables the
disbursement of funds in all of Clallam County and its cities.
Exhibit A of the Interlocal Agreement establishes the funding process to be followed, to include
involvement on the part of United Way for evaluation and recommendation purposes, as well as the
Clallam County Housing Authority for fund administration. Revenue proj ections for Clallam
County are $65,000 - $85,000 per year. However, for 2003, revenues are estimated to be from
$25,000 - $35,000 due to a reduced collection period; applications will be considered on an annual
basis. Attachments
