Title
AN ORDINANCE authorizing the county executive to execute a deed of conveyance in favor of the city of Bellevue for drainage-related properties within city limits.
Body
PREAMBLE:
The city of Bellevue has an established program of services to address the management of storm and surface water runoff.
As part of its surface water management program the city assumed operational and maintenance responsibilities for specific drainage facilities and King County-owned properties now within city boundaries that were formerly within King County and were operated, maintained or otherwise managed by the county.
The city and the county believe that it is in the best interest of the public that King County formally transfer either ownership of or responsibility for, or both, drainage facilities, properties and easements located within Bellevue boundaries to the city.
The transfer of drainage-related properties is consistent with county policy that local drainage properties and facilities should be owned and maintained by local jurisdictions.
A separate ordinance, when passed by the King County council, will authorize the county executive to enter into an interlocal agreement with the city of Bellevue to transfer drainage facility maintenance and operation responsibility to the city.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF KING COUNTY:
SECTION 1. The King County executive is hereby authorized to execute a deed
of conveyance in favor of the city of Bellevue for drainage-related properties within city limits as shown on Attachment A to this ordinance.
