body
DEPARTMENT: Planning and Development Services
ORIGINATOR: Eileen Canola
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Ken Klein 12/19/23
PURPOSE: To consider and take action on a proposal from the Town of Woodway to annex the Point Wells area.
BACKGROUND: The Town of Woodway filed a notice of intention (NOI) to the Snohomish County Boundary Review Board (BRB) - File No. BRB 2023-04 on November 27, 2023, for which the 45-day review period ends on January 12, 2024. The Town has chosen the Interlocal Agreement method of annexation per RCW 35A.14.296, which requires an interlocal agreement (ILA). The Town, County, City of Shoreline (City), and Olympic View Water and Sewer District (District) negotiated an ILA for this annexation titled "Interlocal Agreement Between the Town of Woodway, Snohomish County, the City of Shoreline and Olympic View Water and Sewer District Concerning An Annexation and the Orderly Transition of Services Pursuant to RCW 35A.14.296", with an effective date of October 10, 2023 (Attachment B to Motion). The ILA is consistent with and meets the requirements of RCW 35A.14.296. Based on the review detailed in the attached staff report (Attachment C to Motion), the proposed annexation is consistent with the GMA, the CPPs, and local comprehensive plans, the factors and objectives of the BRB, and will have minimal impact to County budget and services. The annexation proposal furthers the GMA goals and CPP policies that cities should be the primary providers of urban services. The recommendation to the County Council is to support the annexation and not invoke the jurisdiction of the BRB.
