Motion carried. SNOCOM Councilman Gary Nelson reported to council on the Southwest Snohomish County Interlocal Communi- cations Agency. He explained that no interlocal group could become a legal entity at the present time, but that there was now a bill in the legislature to permit this. However,this is the only area establishing an interlocal group to accomplish something by cooperative agreement. Therefore, until SNOCOM becomes a legal entity, each city has agreed to handle one function, and the City of Lynnwood will handle the money for it. The building being used for the purpose is the old Lynn- wood City Hall, and Judge Atwell had advised that Edmonds could -become the lessee in behalf of SNOCOM, with Lynnwood the lessor, since Lynnwood must lease the building to someone, and Edmonds had volunteered to handle this function. The City Attorney had drawn a municipal lease agreement for Edmonds to lease this building in behalf of SNOCOM and be reimbursed for any monies spent. The term of the lease shall be for a period of 24 months commencing on the first day of January 1972, and terminating on the first day of September, 1973, unless the same is terminated either by les- sor or lessee by sending written notice one to the other at least 30 days prior to the first day of any.month during the term of the lease upon which first day of the month the said lease shall be effectively terminated. The rental fee was reported to be $150.00 per month from April 1,1972 through December, 1972 and $180 'per month from January 1, 1973 until expiration of lease. Council discussion followed, with questions regarding Edmonds' coverage on the Lynnwood liability policy, reimbursement for expenses involved, etc. It was then moved by Councilman Nelson, second- ed by Councilman Haines to authorize the Mayor to execute the contract agreement by signing the municpal lease agreement for the City of Edmonds to be termed as the lessee of the building in the City of Lynnwood that had been the former Lynnwood City Hall, and be the lessee in behalf of the Southwest Snohomish County Interlocal Communications Agency.
