Snohomish County Facilities & Fleet AGREEMENT TO RELINQUISH REAL PROPERTY INTEREST THIS AGREEMENT TO RELINQUISH REAL PROPERTY INTEREST (this "Agreement") is made and entered into as of this 17th day of October, 2022 (the "Effective Date"), by and between the City of Everett, a muncipal corporation of the State of Washington (the "City"), and Snohomish County, a political subdivision of the State of Washington (the "County"). RECITALS A. As contemplated in a 1990 memorandum of understanding and a 1990 interlocal agreement, both the City and the County contributed funds to the Snohomish Health District (the "District"). Those funds, along with funds from other cities and towns in Snohomish County, were used by the District to acquire real property commonly known as the Rucker Building, located at 3020 Rucker Avenue, Everett, Washington 98201 (the "Rucker Building"). The District acquired the Rucker Building for purposes of delivering public health service as required under chapter 70.05 and 70.46 RCW. B. In 1995, the District amended its Charter at Article VII, Section 2, to provide processes by which: (a) the District would repay the County and each city and town that contributed to the purchase of the Rucker Building in the event that the District sold the Rucker Building, and (b) the County would repay each city and town that contributed to the purchase of the Rucker Building in the event that the County assumed sole responsibility for public health in Snohomish County. C. In 2018, the District entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the sale of the Rucker Building. The District contemplated using the sale proceeds to acquire another, smaller facility with any remaining balance to be used for District purposes consistent with state law. All the cities and towns that contributed to the acquisition of the Rucker Building executed quit claim deeds to the District: (a) for purposes of clearing title and facilitating the sale, and (b) to relinquish any and all interest in the sale proceeds. Ultimately, the sale did not close, and the District remains the fee owner of the Rucker Building. D. Pursuant to District Board of Health Resolution 22-16, dated May 31, 2022, the District voted unanimously to support the County's withdrawal from the District. Pursuant to Motion 22-248, the County Countil voted to authorize issuance of a notice of intent to withdraw from the District with a withdrawal date of December 31, 2022, with the intent to form a unified County health department. The District and the County are currently working towards the transition of public health services from the District to the County with an effective date of AGREEMENT TO RELINQUISH REAL PROPERTY INTEREST 1
