Title
AN ORDINANCE authorizing the executive to enter into and execute a five-year community facility loan agreement and associated promissory note with the city of Seattle to provide funds for the renovation of the Rainier Beach high school student health center.
Body
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
1. King County leases space in Rainier Beach high school from Seattle Public Schools to operate a student health center, one of the first such clinics in the nation.
2. The department of public health has received a grant from the health resources services administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to renovate the student health center.
3. Since the renovation costs exceed the amount of the grant, the city of Seattle human services department has agreed to loan community development block grant funds it receives from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to King County in the amount of sixty-three thousand dollars.
4. This loan's terms provide for the forgiveness of the loan if health center operations continue for five years.
5. If the student health center operations are not provided for the five years; however, the agreement requires the county to reimburse the city for the loan amount plus interest.
6. While the county intends to operate the student health center for many years into the future, this approval acknowledges the county's repayment obligation under the agreement if health center operations are not provided for the five-year term.
