RESOLUTION NO. 2218 - INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH WASHINGTON STATE DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING TO COLLECT TRANSPORTATION BENEFIT DISTRICT VEHICLE LICENSE FEE
COUNCIL INITIATIVE ADDRESSED:
Continue effective financial management
CITY ATTORNEY REVIEW: REQUIRED
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Longview Transportation Benefit District (TBD) was formed by the City Council pursuant to Ordinance No. 3334. On January 26, 2017, the City entered into an interlocal agreement with the TBD to provide administrative and technical support to the TBD.
On February 9, 2017, the TBD adopted Ordinance No. TBD 17-01 establishing a $20.00 vehicle license fee within the boundary of the TBD. Those fees become effective for license renewals on or after August 20, 2017, and can be collected only by the state Department of Licensing.
On March 23, 2017, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 3341 to assume all the rights, powers, functions, immunities, and obligations of the TBD, and dissolve the TBD board.
Attached is a proposed interlocal agreement between the City and the state Dept. of Licensing providing for collection of the TBD vehicle license fee.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
The Dept. of Licensing charges a service fee of 1% of the amount of the TBD vehicle license fee. The service fee is deducted from each license renewal payment, with the remainder of the TBD fee disbursed to the City on a monthly basis by the State Treasurer. Based on projected TBD revenue, the service fee is estimated to be about $5,600 per year.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to approve Resolution No. 2218.
