WHEREAS, the City of Arlington (the "City") approved Ordinance No. 2013-005 on April 1, 2013, creating the Arlington Transportation Benefit District ("TBD") of the City of Arlington, Washington (the "District") pursuant to Chapter 36.73 RCW; and WHEREAS, the District has identified the sales and use tax as an authorized source of revenue identified in Chapter 36.73 RCW to finance pavement preservation and repair as identified in the City's Transportation Plan and adopted by the TBD Board in Resolution No. 2013-001; and WHEREAS, the District is authorized pursuant to RCW 36.73.040(3)(a) to impose a sales and use tax in accordance with RCW 82.14.0455 in the amount of two -tenths of one percent (0.2%) for a period of ten years upon a favorable vote of the qualified electors within the District for the purpose of funding or financing certain pavement preservation, repair and/or transportation improvements; and WHEREAS, with voter approval, the District may impose a sales and use tax upon the occurrence of any taxable event within the boundaries of the District to fund or finance pavement preservation, repair and/or transportation improvements; and WHEREAS, lack of a pavement preservation program risks the loss of state and federal transportation grants; and WHEREAS, if approved by the voters, the sales and use tax will apply to persons who shop and thereby use the roads in the City and not just to City residents; and WHEREAS, the sales and use tax is estimated to generate an average of $600,000 of additional revenue per year, which will be used solely to fund the maintenance, repair and preservation of 126 roads with segments that are near or at failing as identified in the Pavement Condition Index Study as prepared by VPR Services, Inc. and adopted by the TBD Board. RESOLUTION NO.2013-002 TBD NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GOVERNING BOARD OF THE ARLINGTON TRANSPORTATION BENEFIT DISTRICT OF THE CITY OF ARLINGTON, WASHINGTON AS FOLLOWS: Section I. -Current Purpose and Need. The Governing Board of the District (the "Board") hereby finds that the best interests of the inhabitants of the District require the District to impose a sales and use tax through this Resolution in the amount of two -tenths of one percent (0.2%) pursuant to RCW 36.73.040(3)(a) and RCW 82.14.0455 for the purpose of providing a portion of the funds for pavement preservation, repair and/or transportation improvements. Over the past six years, the City has made extremely difficult decisions regarding the funding for City services. One of these decisions was to defer maintenance on many of our City streets, which has resulted in segments of 126 roads to be in failing or near failing condition. The Board has selected these segments of 126 roads throughout the City that are in failing or near failing condition to be repaired and improved over the next 10 years. Priority will be given to arterial roads, followed by collector roads, then residential/minor roads. Priority will also be given to roads that are still able to be preserved over roads that need reconstruction. Priority will be given to roads with high daily traffic (ADT) counts. Some of the pavement preservation technologies to be used include: pothole repair and strategic pavement replacement, fog seal, slurry seal, microsurfacing, 3/8" chip seal, %2" chip seal, double chip seal, 1-1 /2" overlay, and 2" grind and pave. The cost of all necessary design, engineering, financial, legal and other consulting services, inspection and testing, administrative and relocation expenses, and other costs incurred in connection with the foregoing TBD Projects shall be deemed a part of the costs of the TBD Projects. The Board shall determine the application of moneys available for the TBD Projects so as to accomplish, as nearly as may be practical, all of the TBD Projects. In the event that the proceeds of sales and use taxes authorized herein, plus any other money of the District legally available therefore, are insufficient to accomplish all of the TBD Projects, the Board shall use the available funds for paying the cost of those portions of the TBD Projects deemed by the Board most necessary and in the best interests of the District. The Board shall determine the exact locations and specifications for the elements of the TBD Projects as well as the timing, order, and manner of implementing or completing the TBD Projects. The Board may alter, make substitutions to, and amend the TBD Project descriptions as it determines is in the best interests of the District consistent with the general descriptions provided above and in accordance with the material change policy adopted by the Board and the notice, hearing, and other procedures described in Chapter 36.73 RCW, including RCW36.73.050(2)(b), in each case as the same may be amended from time to time. If the Board shall determine that it has become impractical to acquire, construct, or implement all or any portion of the TBD Projects by reason of changed conditions, incompatible RESOLUTION NO.2013-002 TBD 2 development, costs substantially in excess of the amount of sales and use tax proceeds estimated to be available, or acquisition by a superior governmental authority, the Board shall not be required to acquire, construct, or implement such portions. If all of the TBD Projects have been acquired, constructed, implemented or duly provided for, or found to be impractical, the Board may apply the sales and use tax proceeds (including earnings thereon) or any portion thereof to other transportation improvements then identified in the City's Transportation Improvement Program in accordance with the material change policy adopted by the Board and the notice, hearing, and other procedures described in Chapter 36.73 RCW, including RCW 36.73.050(2)(b), in each case as the same may be amended from time to time.

The District is authorized to impose a sales and use tax in the amount of two -tenths of one percent (0.2%) for a period of up to ten years upon approval by voters within the District. This sales and use tax is estimated to generate an average of $600,000 of additional revenue per year, which will be used solely to fund the maintenance, repair and preservation of 126 roads with segments that are near or at "failing" condition based on a Pavement Condition Index Study adopted by the TBD Board. The additional revenue from the sales tax is dedicated to these projects and can be used for no other purpose. A detailed list of the improvements, their cost and priorities are contained in TBD Resolution No. 2013-OO1TBD, are available upon request from the Arlington City Clerk and are posted on the City's web site, www.arlin tonwa. ov . The proposed sales and use tax would impose a new sales and use tax in the amount of two - tenths of one percent (0.2%) for a period of ten years, the proceeds of which will be used to fund the above road maintenance, repair and preservation projects.
