The Agreement establishes a means whereby the County can act as the <br />City’s agent in performing the services. The City shall cooperate with the County to the <br />extent reasonably necessary for accomplishing the services and shall reimburse the <br />County for the County’s costs incurred in performing the services, as more fully described <br />in Section 4 below. The parties agree that no separate legal or administrative entities are <br />necessary to carry out this Agreement. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this <br />Agreement, any real or personal property used or acquired by either party in connection <br />with the performance of this Agreement will remain the sole property of such party, and <br />the other party shall have no interest therein. <br />The City shall reimburse the County its reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the <br />County related to the billing and collection of Special Assessments (the “Service Fee”) <br />under this Agreement. Consistent with RCW 84.56.035, the Service Fee is 1% of the <br />Special Assessments collected. In lieu of remitting payment to the County, the Service Fee <br />will be deducted from each monthly payment to the City of collected Special Assessments. <br />Recommendation (exact action requested of Council): Authorize the Mayor to sign the <br />Interlocal Agreement with Snohomish County Treasurer to allow the Treasurer to <br />perform as the City’s agent in billing and collection of special assessments.
