Title

Motion 24-302, approving Amendment #6 to the Puget Sound Taxpayer Accountability Act (PSTAA) Interlocal Agreement with Edmonds School District 

body

DEPARTMENT:  Human Services

 

ORIGINATOR:  Mellissa Hiatt

 

EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION:  Lacey Harper 7/22/24

 

PURPOSE: Council approval of amendment to the PSTAA Interlocal Agreement with Edmonds School District to allocate funds for 2024-2025 and approve changes to due date of Services and Expenditure plan, from June to May,  to accommodate the schedule for school districts and Institutes of Higher Education.

 

BACKGROUND: The PSTAA was created as an amendment to the 2015 State Transportation Revenue Package by the Washington State Legislature and is funded by a percentage of sales and use taxes collected from Sound Transit construction projects. PSTAA funds are to be distributed to King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties proportionally based on the population of each county that lives within Sound Transit’s jurisdictional boundaries. Pursuant to RCW 43.79.520, counties may use distributions from the PSTAA account only to improve educational outcomes in early learning, K-12, and higher education including but not limited to, for facilities and programs for children and youth that are low-income, homeless, or in foster care, or other vulnerable populations; and to start endowments to provide support for improving educational outcomes in early learning, K-12, and higher education. Snohomish County Council outlined additional guidance for use of PSTAA funds collected in the Snohomish County subarea in its Motion 20-553, and updated guidance in its Amended Motion 21-089 and Amended Motion 22-282.

Per Amended Motion 21-089, 67% of annual PSTAA funds allocated in Snohomish County shall be allocated to school districts within Sound Transit’s Regional Transit Area (RTA), with school districts receiving funds in proportion to population within the RTA.

The Interlocal Agreement amendment #6 with Edmonds School District includes the 2024-2025 Services and Expenditure Plan for $632,819.34.  Ordinance 21-062 requires amendments be submitted to Council annually for approval of the proposed Services and Expenditure Plan for the upcoming year.
