body
DEPARTMENT: Human Services
ORIGINATOR: Karen Matson
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approved (Lacey Harper 10/20/2026)
PURPOSE: Council approval of amendment 10 to the PSTAA Interlocal Agreement with Everett Community College to allocate funds for 2026-2027.
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, 33% of annual PSTAA funds allocated in Snohomish County shall be allocated to institutions of higher education, with Everett Community College receiving one third of the total allocation to institutions of higher education.
The Interlocal Agreement amendment #10 with Everett Community College includes the recapture of $3,972.87 in unspent funds from amendment #9 for 2025-2026 and the 2026-2027 Services and Expenditure Plan for $307,051.03. Ordinance 21-063 requires amendments be submitted to Council annually for approval of the proposed Services and Expenditure Plan for the upcoming year.
