body
DEPARTMENT: Human Services
ORIGINATOR: Mellissa Hiatt
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approve - Lacey Harper
PURPOSE: Amendment to the PSTAA Interlocal Agreement with Washington State University Everett
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. 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.
The PSTAA Interlocal Agreement with Washington State University Everett is for the period 9/1/2021 through 8/31/2035 and includes the 2021-2022 Services and Expenditure Plan for $88,000 inclusive of $8,800 designated to support their early learning community partners ChildStrive ($5,800) and United Way of Snohomish County ($3,000). Per Amended Motion 21-089, PSTAA ILA amendments are to be submitted to Council for review and approval. Washington State University Everett is requesting to amend their budget to reallocate funds for professional services from United Way of Snohomish County to ChildStrive, as the proposed community strategic planning process has been discontinued and facilitation by United Way of Snohomish County is no longer needed. This amendment allows the Washington State University Everett to redistribute their community early learning partner organization funds consistent with the Institution of Higher Education fiscal procedures. This amendment is a minor budget change and a minor change to the project plan. There is no change to the total budget amount which allocates 10% of their PSTAA funding to a community early learning partner.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: No Fiscal Implications
DEPARTMENT FISCAL IMPACT NOTES: There is no impact to County General Revenues as a result of this action. This amendment reallocates $3,000 between two subcontractors with no change in the total award.
