70.46.080.
5.2.1 The member municipalities agree to pay to SHD
and SHD agrees to pay to the County, commencing in 1991, the annual
facilities assessment in the amount of $453,460.00. Said sum,
when paid, shall be applied first to interest, then to principal.

tenants from either the private or public sector, or both, for that
portion of space in the Rucker Building not used for the delivery
of public health services, subject to paragraph 6.2 of this

rental. All rental income shall be paid to the County in the same
manner as payments are made to the County of the annual facilities

INTER -LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGREEMENT - 5
c:\wfi\shd\interloc.rv9
5.3 Default. Failure to pay any amount due the County
within ninety (90) days after the date upon which payment is due
shall constitute a default on the part of SHD and any member
municipality that fails to pay its portion of the annual facilities
assessment in the manner herein provided. In the event of such
default, the County may elect to declare the whole sum of both
principal and interest immediately due and payable, without further
notice, and the County shall be entitled to the remedies herein
provided.
5.4 Remedy of County Upon Default. After default, the
County shall have the right to declare the right of SHD to occupy
and use the building forfeited and terminated, and may enter the
subject property and remove all persons and chattels therefrom.
Further, in the event of default, the County shall be entitled to
all rental income from third parties, and may notify such third
parties accordingly. In addition, the County shall have every
other remedy against SHD and any defaulting member municipality
provided by the laws of the State of Washington, including the
right of specific performance. In the event the subject property
is reentered and sold by the County within the term of this
Agreement, any funds received by the County in excess of the
balance of the obligation owed to the County [paragraph 5.1(c)],
plus attorney fees and costs incurred by the County in retaking
possession of the subject property, shall be reallocated to the
member municipalities not in default in accordance with their
respective contributions to the purchase of the subject property.
5.5 Non -Waiver. Failure can the part of the County to
exercise any right or option given to the County under this
Agreement with respect to the repayment of the indebtedness, or
other right as herein defined shall not constitute a waiver of its
right to exercise such right or option upon a subsequent default.

approvals, and other instruments permitted to be given to SHD or
the County pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be in

5.7 Time of the Essence. It is agreed that the several
deposits by the member municipalities of portions of the purchase
price with the closing agent as provided in paragraph 5.1 above
must be made by each municipality in a timely manner as therein
provided, and it is agreed that time is of the essence of those
undertakings.
5.8 Failure to Participate. If a member municipality
fails to become a party to this Agreement, such failure shall not
affect the validity of this Agreement as between the parties, but
shall impose an additional obligation upon SHD to include all
amounts allocated under this Agreement to the non -participating
member municipality, including both principal and interest, in the
annual member contribution assessed against the non -participating
member municipality under chapter 70.46 RCW. This amount shall
include both down payment and annual facilities assessment
allocations. SHD shall take all reasonable steps against a non-
participating member municipality, including but not limited to
arbitration under RCW 70.40.080, to recover amounts allocated to
the member municipality under this Agreement.
6.0 Use and Occupancy of the subject Property.
6.1 Use. The subject property shall be used by SHD as
the Snohomish Health District Main Service Center for the municipal
purpose of delivering public health services for the benefit of its
member municipalities in accordance with the terms and conditions
of this Agreement.
6.2 Allocation of Space in the Subject Property.
6.2.1 The Board of Health of SHD has determined,
and the member municipalities hereby acknowledge, that complete
occupancy of the subject property by SHD will not be attained
immediately following its purchase. It is also understood that the
County has an interest in acceleration of repayment of the
INTER -LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGREEMENT - 7
c:\wfi\shd\interloc.rv9
indebtedness by application of rental payments as provided far
herein. Therefore, SHD will allocate a portion of the subject
property for rental to the public or private sector according to an
allocation plan that has been approved by the County under
paragraph 6.2.2 of this Agreement.
6.2.2 SHD shall neither itself occupy nor sublet
or otherwise rent the subject property for occupation by the public
or private sector, in whole or part, except in accordance with an
allocation plan that has been previously reviewed and approved by
the County, which approval may be withheld at the County 's sale
discretion; provided, however, that the County will not unreason-
ably withhold its approval if the following conditions are satis-
fied:
6.2.2.1 The proposed plan is consistent with
operation and maintenance of the subject property as the Snohomish
Health District Main Service Center.
6.2.2.2 The proposed plan provides for
rentals under such terms and conditions as are consistent with
commercially reasonable rentals for the same or similar space in
the downtown Everett business core.
6.2.2.3 The proposed plan is unlikely to
result in a default on the part of SHD or proposed occupants.
6.2.2.4 The proposed plan is consistent with
the County's requirements with respect to acceleration of repayment
of the indebtedness and renter profile (public vs. private).
6.3 Operation and Maintenance. The SHD Board of Health
shall be responsible for determination of general policies for the
use, maintenance, and operation of the Rucker Building during the
term of this Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. Determinations by SHD of policy goals and standards
shall be implemented by SHD management through the Health officer
and his or her designated administrative officials. SHD shall be
responsible for payment of utilities and maintenance of the
building during the term of this Agreement. SHD shall be responsi-
ble for the repair and upkeep of the building, consistent with
reasonable building standards, and in full compliance with the
requirements of the various statutes and ordinances of the State of
Washington and the City of Everett. The county is under no
obligation to provide utilities, or to maintain, or to make repairs
to any part or portion of any building or structure on the subject
property. Those responsibilities are to be discharged under this
Agreement by SHD. Any alterations or modifications to the building
shall likewise be made at the expense of SHD. Alterations of a
substantial nature shall first be reviewed and approved by the
INTER -LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGREEMENT - 8
c:\wfi\shd\inter1oc.rv9
County. Removing interior, non -weight supporting walls within the
building shall not be considered substantial alteration.
6.4 LJ&bility Insurance. SHD shall, during the term of

occurrence.
6.4.1 Such insurance shall be endorsed to
include Snohomish County, its elected and appointed officers,
officials, employees, and agents as additional insureds, and shall
not be reduced or canceled without thirty (30) days' written prior
notice to the County.
6.4.2 Such insurance shall be endorsed to
include a "cross liability," "severability of interests," or
"separation of insureds" clause indicating essentially that "except
with respect to the limits of insurance, and any rights or duties
specifically assigned to the first named insured, this insurance
applies as if each named insured was the only named insured, and
separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is
brought."
6.4.3 If coverage is on a claims made form, the
retroactive date shall be prior to or coincident with the date of
closing, and the policy shall state that coverage is claims made,
and state the retroactive date. Claims made form coverage shall be
maintained by SHD for a minimum of three (3) years following the
termination of this Agreement. SHD shall annually provide the
County with proof of renewal. If renewal of the claims made form
of coverage becomes unavailable, or economically unavailable (i.e.,
premiums quoted exceed ten percent (10%) of the limits of liabili-
ty) , SHD shall execute a form of guarantee acceptable to the County
to assure financial responsibility for liability of services
performed.
6.4.4 Proof of coverage shall be provided to the
County in the form of a duplicate of the insurance policy with all
endorsements as evidence of coverage. -•
6.5 Fire Insurance. SHD shall carry, at its expense,
fire insurance with the coverage and carrier subject to the
approval of the County. Further, SHD shall be responsible to carry
fire insurance with extended coverage, sprinkler leakage, and other

located in the Rucker Building. The County shall not be liable for
any loss or damage to the property of SHD located in or upon the
subject property resulting from fire or other perils due to any
INTER -LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGREEMENT - 9
c:\wfi\shd\interloc.rv9
cause whatsoever. Evidence of insurance coverage required by this
Agreement shall be furnished to the County in a form satisfactory
to the County. In the event of loss under such policies, to such
an extent that the building is rendered untenantable for SHD
purposes in whole or in part, the Board of Health of SHD shall
determine whether to rebuild or repair the same. The County shall
advise and comment on such decision. In the event the Board of
Health determines to repair or rebuild, then the proceeds from such
insurance coverage shall be earmarked in a manner satisfactory to
the County to cover the cost of such repair or rebuilding. In the
event a decision is made not to repair or rebuild, then the
proceeds of such insurance coverage shall first be made available
to apply to the obligations set forth in this Agreement. The
balance of such insurance funds, if any, shall be available as an
asset of SHD for application in such manner as the Board of SHD may
determine.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
This Memorandum of Understanding is between the county negotiating team appointed by the Snchomist
County Council and the city negotiating team appointed by a committee of mayors representing the cities of Snohomisi
County. The purpose of this memorandum is to memorialize the findings acid conclusions of the Cost of Service Stud
and to convey the agreement of the negotiating teams to their constituent jurisdictions.
Recitals
The negotiating teams met throughout the year 1988 in an attempt to resolve a dispute between the cities an
county concerning the appropriate proportionate share of county -city contributions to the budget of the Snohomis
Health District.
In We 1988, both negotiating teams recommended to their constituent entities that a study be conducted for th
purpose of determining the cost of health services provided within the boundaries of each of the cities an
unincorporated Snohomish County.
It was the intention of the negotiating teams to use the results of the study to determine apportionment of cos.
between county and city governments. The study results are summarized by the consultant in the attached'FEchibit A'.
Arthur Andersen & Co. - the consultant selected jointly by the negotiating teams - has completed the study ar
has made recommendations of how the costs of health services might be most equitably distributed among tt
constituent jurisdictions.
Negotiating Team Findin s
The negotiating teams accept the findings and conclusions of the Arthur Andersen study as valid methodoloc
for determining a fair allocation of costs between the cities and the county.
The negotiating teams further agree that an allocation of health costs by population for the collective city at
Snohomish County shares is closely analogous to the methodology recommended by Arthur Anderson & Co.
The negotiating teams have determined that while the methodology of cost allocation recommended by Arth
Andersen may result in a more precise allocation between the cities and the county, the population -based methodolo,
is consistent with the results of the study and is objective, economical and simpler to allocate on an annual basis.
The phase -in percentages used to allocate future city and county contributions of Health District costs we
calculated with an assumption that there would be no unusual increases in local government contributions to the aunt
budget of the health district in the coming years.
The Negotiating Teams recommend that the Health District establish a budget process which would give t
cities and the county an opportunity to review, analyze and comment on the annual spending plan prior to its adoption

Agreem
The negotiating committees agree that a reasonable basis for allocation of local government contributions to the
Snohomish Health District is as follows:
(1) that population be used as a basis for dividing governmental contribution costs between the collectivE
cities of Snohomish County and Snohomish County,
(2) that the following transition be used to permit the cities and county to achieve the population -based cos.
allocation by 1993.
A. The county agrees to pay the sum at $1,650,748 in 1990. Said amount represents an increasE
of $1o,000 over the county's 1989 allocation and 65.1% of the total local govemmen
contribution.
B. The cities collectively agree to pay $883,335 or 34.9% of the total local government contribution:
in 1990.
C. The Health District will agree to lower its proposed local government assessment within the 199'
budget by an amount of $50,000.
D. Phase -in percentages for the cities and county are:
Cities CourrtV
1990 - 34.9% 1990 - 65.1 %
1991 - 37.9% 1991 - 62.1 %
1992 - 40.9% 1992 - 59.1 %
After 199Z the most recent July population figures as determined by the State of Washingtc
Office of Financial Management and Budget (QFMB) will be the basis for all future Health Distri
funding assessments to local government
(3) that upon request of any member, the parties agree that the above -referenced apportionments may t
reevaluated by a committee of mayors and the county council after five years of the Signing of Ih
agreement.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
What is the purpose of the Interlocal Agreement?
This Interlocal Agreement provides for the purchase of a facility to house the activities
and staff of the Snohomish Health District. The Health District must secure new facilities
by 1993, and it has been determined that this purchase is the most cost effective and
economical alternative available.
How will the $5.150,000 Purchase -Price Qf Jhe R ker Building be
obtained?
The Agreement requires that the Health District utilize its cash reserves of $750,000 as
down payment. It further requires that Health District members make an additional
payment of $1.00 per capita (1) by October 10, 1990 (a total of $430,400), to further
reduce the borrowing necessary to fund the negotiated purchase price of $5,150,000.
The balance of the purchase price of $3,969,600 will be financed by Snohomish County
at an interest rate of 8.5 percent per annum. The Agreement obligates the District, the
Cities as members, and the County to repay the $3,969,600.
How will the $3,969,600 he repaid to theC n ?
The Agreement specifies that collectively the members pay an annual facilities
assessment of $453,460 on a quarterly basis. The pro rata shares of the interest and
principal payments will be determined by the funding formula contained in the
Memorandum of Understanding dated February 26, 1990, between the Cities and the
County memorializing the results of the Cost of Services Study. The annual facilities
assessment will be less than $1.00 per capita. Rent receipts from third party tenants will
be applied to the principal. Third party rent receipts and the annual facilities
assessment should be sufficient to repay the debt in approximately 6 years, removing
the debt from the Health District members.
How will the Building be used and maintained?
The Agreement requires that the building be used as the SHD Main Service Center for
the purpose of delivering public health services for the benefit of the members. The
Agreement acknowledges that rental receipts and occupancy of the space by third
parties are an integral part of the financing plan for the building. Full occupancy of the
building by SHD will not occur until the $3,969,600 has been repaid. Operating and
maintenance costs of the building will be borne by SHD in lieu of rent.
Who will own theQuilcling2
The County will take legal title of the Rucker Building, and the Interlocal Agreement
provides for transfer of title to SHD when the $3,969,600 has been repaid to the County.
What ha ens if we don't approve the Agreement?
In order for this Agreement to take effect, the membership must take action and commit
to participate as detailed in the Agreement. Municipalities representing 95% of the
population must approve and sign the Agreement before the County will advance the
funds necessary to finance the purchase. If 95% of the members do not commit to the
Agreement, and the purchase is not finalized, the District will be forced to rent facilities in
1993. The cost to rent equivalent facilities in today's market is approximately $750,000
per year, or 65% more than the cost of this purchase. If 95% of the members approve
the Agreement, the remaining 5% will be assessed their pro rata share of the cost
annually.
