PARTIES Yakima County, WA This Supporting Investments in Economic Diversification (hereinafter referred to as SIED) Contract is made by and between Yakima County (hereinafter referred to as the County) whose address is 128 North Second Street, County Courthouse, Room 232, Yakima, Washington 98901, and the City of Yakima (hereinafter referred to as the City) whose address is 129 N 2ed Street, Yakima, WA 98901. Notices between the parties shall be made where and as provided for on Page 7, Section 22, NOTICES. 2. TERM This Contract takes effect upon execution hereof by the authorized representatives of both parties and continues in effect as required under Section 5, MUTUAL CONSIDERATION, or until terminated as provided for in Section 8, SUSPENSION, TERMINATION, AND CLOSEOUT. 3. PURPOSE The purpose of this Contract is to provide funds to pay for the previous construction of certain infrastructure improvements (hereinafter referred to as the Project, See Appendix A) using certain County funds specifically designated for such infrastructure. The Project funds identified in this Contract will compensate the costs of certain completed infrastructure improvements described in Appendix A that were necessary for the YMCA/Aquatics Center Complex located at the City of Yakima owned park. 4. RECITALS A. The Parties make this Contract based on and in recognition of certain relevant facts and circumstances including: B. Sales and use taxes are collected in and for the County under authority of RCW 82.14.370 and Yakima County Code 3.10.010 for the purpose of financing public facilities in the County, and the proceeds are deposited in the Yakima County Infrastructure Fund (also referred to as SIED Fund), according to YCC 3.10.040. The County has determined that the YMCA/Aquatics Center Complex is a public facility for purposes of RCW 82.14.370. C. The City previously has applied for and received SIED funds for the purpose of improving River Road, which serves as the primary means of access to the Project. The River Road improvements have been completed but the parties recognize that there is a need for additional funding to compensate the cost of additional now completed infrastructure improvements (the Project) to the YMCA/Aquatic Center Complex, separate from the River Road infrastructure improvements. Page 1 of 10 Contract No. YC-YAC-19 D. Given that the Project is one of regional significance that will substantially improve the quality of life for the citizens of the City of Yakima and Yakima County, Yakima County, with support from the SIED Board, has determined that it is appropriate, and in compliance with RCW 82.14.370, to make an additional investment in the Project in the form of additional grant funding that it wishes to pass through the City of Yakima to the Project. This grant is intended to compcnsate the YMCA for the costs of the now completed infrastructure improvements of the Project, exclusive of the upgrades to River Road. These improvements include, but are not limited to, necessary site work, utilities, parking surface materials, parking lot lights, sidewalks and other infrastructural improvements. A complete list of the eligible infrastructure Project costs is included in Appendix A. E. The Project has been paid for through a combination of City, private, and County funds, including this $1,000,000.00 from the SIED Fund to be in the form of a grant. F. Yakima County will provide the additional SIED funding to thc YMCA, through the City of Yakima, who will act as a pass through only, with the clear understanding that these funds can be expended for no purpose other than paying for infrastructure costs related to the Project and specified in Appendix A. G. RCW 82.14.370 was adopted to serve the goals of promoting business in rural distressed areas, providing family wage jobs and the development of communities of excellence in such areas, and the parties expect the Project to further these goals. H. RCW 43.160 and 43.160.020 adopted and amended for related purposes with those of RCW 82.14.370, define public facilities to mean a project of a local government, to include various infrastructure, buildings, and works. The public facility must be listed as an item in the officially adopted county overall economic development plan, or the economic development section of the county's comprehensive plan, or the comprehensive plan of a city or town located within the county (RCW 82.14.370(3)(a). The County and the SIED Board have determined that the Project complies with said statutes. The YMCA facility is not specifically listed in the City of Yakima Comprehensive Plan. 1'he City, as the pass through agent, is not required to independently verify whether the proposed use and Project complies with the statutes referenced herein, and the County and SLED board will hold the City harmless and indemnify it from any claims that the use of the money by the YMCA violates the law. 1. The County, under authority of RCW 36.01.085, and by agreement of February 19, 1999, has engaged the Yakima County Development Association, hereinafter "YCDA", also known as Choose Yakima, to provide administrative and technical assistance in furtherance of the County's economic development. J. The County created the SIED Board to review applications for grants from the SIED Fund and make recommendations for SIED Fund investments based on commitment of other funds, potential for resulting job creation, quality of life, and other factors. K. The County submits that YDCA has investigated thc Project and specifically the completed elements identified in Appendix A and has assisted in preparing the application for SIED funds, and the SIED Board has reviewed the application for SIED funds and has recommended approval. Page 2 of 10 Contract No. YC-YAC-I9 L. The SIED Fund balance is sufficient to make the requested contribution to the Project. M.
