body
DEPARTMENT: Human Services
ORIGINATOR: Christie Lee Kamka
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approve - Lacey Harper
PURPOSE: Amendment to the PSTAA Interlocal Agreement with Northshore School District
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 Northshore School District is for the period 9/1/2021 through 8/31/2035 and includes the 2021-2022 Services and Expenditure Plan for $52,528 inclusive of $26,264 designated to support their early learning community partner, Imagine Children’s Museum, to develop and provide early learning STEM curriculum. Per Amended Motion 21-089, PSTAA ILA amendments are to be submitted to Council for review and approval. Northshore School District is requesting to amend their budget to transfer funds from professional services to supplies. This amendment allows the Northshore School District to reimburse their community early learning partner organization consistent with the school district fiscal procedures. This amendment is a minor budget change and does not result in any changes to the District’s project plan or total budge amount which allocates 50% of their PSTAA funding to a community early learning partner - Imagine Children’s Museum - to support early learning STEM.
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 $24,264 between two expenditure categories within the Interlocal Agreement with no change in the total award.
