Cities of Bellevue Seattle Tacoma 4/19/2021 Amendment 2

1 RESOLUTION NO. 2021-01 2 3 A Resolution of the Washington Multi-City 4 Business License and Tax Portal Agency 5 Executive Board regarding an Amendment of the Interlocal Agreement to Extend Use of Historical Transaction Counts. 8 9 Whereas, the Washington Multi-City Business License and Tax Portal Agency 10 ("Agency")was originally established under the Interlocal Agreement By and Between the 11 Cities of Bellevue, Everett, Seattle, and Tacoma, dated March 1, 2014 ("Interlocal 12 Agreement"); and 13 14 Whereas, Section 13.g. of the Interlocal Agreement was amended in 2017 via 15 Resolution FL2017-04 to provide that, for the years 2014-2021, the allocation of Agency costs among the Original Principals shall generally be based on 2012 transaction counts of each Original Principal as set forth in Exhibit A to the Interlocal Agreement, and to further 16 provide that, beginning in 2022 and afterward, Agency costs shall be allocated 17 among the Original Principals based on the actual number of transactions processed 18 through the Portal for each of such city; and 19 20 Whereas, due to various city-specific factors associated with implementation of 21 the Portal in the Original Principal cities, the Original Principals have determined that 22 converting to use of actual transaction counts as the basis for allocating Agency 23 costs beginning in 2022 would be inequitable, and that continuing to use 2012 24 historical transaction counts of the Original Principals for an additional three years, 25 through 2024, would be a preferable way to allocate Agency costs; and 26 27 Whereas, Section 18.e. of the Interlocal Agreement requires that any changes to 28 the contribution responsibilities of Principal cities must be approved by the legislative 29 authorities of all Principals; Resolution No. FL2021-01 Page 1 of 2
