OF ORIGIN: Planning, Engineering & Building Services EXHIBIT: Sample Resolution DEPT. HEAD APPROVAL: Lisa D. Key, Director EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: No BUDGETED: No SUMMARY STATEMENT In the 2019 Legislative Session, the state approved a local revenue sharing program to provide up to 0.0146% local sales and use tax credited against the state sales tax for affordable housing programs, with funds split between the County and local jurisdictions wishing to participate. In order to take advantage of the program, Cities need to pass a resolution by January of 2020 to “opt in”. Should the City of Liberty Lake opt in, based on an average of $400 million in sales, the City’s revenue share is estimated at approximately $29,000 per year. These funds can be pooled with those of larger municipalities or public benefit non-profit organizations within our region to provide affordable housing, subsidized housing, or supportive housing services through interlocal or joint powers agreements, cooperative action agreements, or contracts to perform governmental activities, as provided for in RCW 39.34. Washington State Department of Commerce is undertaking the rulemaking process, and draft rules are anticipated to be available for comment later in October, with final rules adopted by December of this year. RECOMMENDED ACTION 1. Opportunity for City Council to discuss the proposed timeline and process for implementing HB 1406, which creates shared revenue source for affordable housing, as well as potential opportunities for City of Liberty Lake to participate regionally. SAMPLE FORM OF ORDINANCE/RESOLUTION OF INTENT PURSUANT TO HB 1406 Prepared by Pacifica Law Group LLP [ORDINANCE/RESOLUTION] No. ________ [AN ORDINANCE][A RESOLUTION] OF THE [CITY COUNCIL][________ COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS] OF [____________________] DECLARING THE INTENT OF THE [___________] TO ADOPT LEGISLATION TO AUTHORIZE A SALES AND USE TAX FOR AFFORDABLE AND SUPPORTIVE HOUSING IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUBSTITUTE HOUSE BILL 1406 (CHAPTER 338, LAWS OF 2019), AND OTHER MATTERS RELATED THERETO.
